C20 My Child Is Still Alive?

Shen Qi's eyes widened in fear watching the ashtray fly towards her.​

Suddenly, a figure rushed into the study room, grabbed Shen Qi, and pulled her back.

Bang!

The ashtray smashed into the spot Shen Qi was standing and shattered into pieces.

Shen Qi shuddered, looking at the broken ashtray that was aimed at her.

She looked at Old Master Ye in disbelief.

Cruel and no sense of priority.

Was Old Master Ye talking about himself?

"Grandpa, sister-in-law is a straightforward person, and she misunderstood you."

Shen Qi realized the person who pulled her away was Ye Linhan.

"Sister-in-law, Grandpa and I are just worried about Moxuan's health. After all, it must be exhausting for him to manage such a large group alone. I'm sure you've learned a bit about his personality already. He can be somewhat... eccentric. Grandpa is not telling you to monitor Moxuan. No matter what, the Ye's Group will be his in the future. All we're trying to do is help him."

Shen Qi bit her lip and didn't say anything.

Old Master Ye snorted and said angrily, "I thought the Shen family's daughter was a smart woman. To think that you'd use a word like 'monitor.' What will happen to my reputation if others find out I have this kind of granddaughter-in-law?"

"Grandfather, don't be angry. I'll talk to her about this."

With that said, Ye Linhan grabbed Shen Qi and left the study room together.

Shen Qi, frightened by the old master, was still lost in thoughts and followed Ye Linhan without saying a word.

Ye Linhan stopped when they reached a secluded area. He turned around and looked at her gently.

"Sister-in-law, did grandpa scare you? Are you hurt anywhere?"

As he spoke, Ye Linhan stepped forward to hold her shoulder.​

But Shen Qi reflexively took a step back.

Ye Linhan's hand missed its target and hung in the air awkwardly for a while. Shen Qi lowered her head and whispered, "Sorry."

Ye Linhan smiled and brought his hand back.

"It's okay. Don't take today's matter to heart. Grandpa really has no other intentions. Moxuan had grown estranged from grandpa, so there are many things that grandpa cannot ask Moxuan directly and can only ask you to do it on his behalf. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Shen Qi nodded.

"Seems like you're not processing it. You're probably too confused right now. Go back and get some rest. When you understand, you'll know that grandpa is doing this for Moxuan's good."

"Then I will be leaving." Shen Qi turned around and left.

After walking for a long time, Shen Qi could still feel Ye Linhan's gaze on her back.

It wasn't until she turned around a corner did the sharp gaze disappear.

Shen Qi paused in her steps and stared at the ground in deep thought.

She didn't expect the Ye family to be so complicated. She wasn't a fool, so of course, she understood what Old Master Ye meant.

Telling her to take care of Ye Moxuan was just an excuse for her to monitor him.

Furthermore, Ye Linhan always keeps a gentle smile on his face, giving off the impression that he was a gentleman, but he's on the same side as Old Master Ye. He even shamelessly said those pompous words to her.

Shen Qi suddenly felt her body turn cold.

As they say, you can't judge people by their looks.

Just like Lin Jiang.

Lin Jiang always told her that he was frigid and asked for her forgiveness. Until he chased her out with the woman he cheated with. ​

For two whole years, he lied to her.

The human heart truly is the most terrifying thing in the world.

Suddenly, Shen Qi felt her hatred toward Ye Moxuan decrease.

Just like herself, his family rejected him.

After turning around another corner, Shen Qi saw two people appear in front of her and stopped.

Xiao Su pushed Ye Moxuan while Ye Moxuan sat in his wheelchair, looking at her coldly.

If it was before her conversation with Old Master Ye and Ye Linhan, Shen Qi would have immediately turned around and left, but, after learning that his biological grandfather and brother rejected him, Shen Qi suddenly saw Ye Moxuan differently.​

However, she still couldn't forget the fact that he forced her to abort her child. She turned around and left.

"Stop!" Ye Moxuan shouted at her.

Shen Qi stopped and looked back at him. "What is it?"

"You're my assistant, but you haven't been to work for two days. You don't want your job anymore?"

Shen Qi recalled what Old Master Ye told her in the study room. Remembering that her purpose there is not there to be his assistant but to monitor him, she replied, "I thought you don't want an assistant. I'll just quit, so you don't have to see me every day."

"You think the Ye's Group is a place where you can come and go as you pleased?"​

Shen Qi frowned. "Then what do you want?"

Seeing her attitude, Xiao Su widened his eyes in shock. "How can you be so ungrateful? Young Master Ye even worried about you and allowed you to keep that bastard. How can you treat-"

"Shut up!" Ye Moxuan scolded, and Xiao Su immediately hushed.

"What did you say?" Shen Qi's eyes widened in disbelief.
