Talking about Mrs. Li’s affairs, Hou Zi said again, “I heard that Li Chuhai was also a soldier before. I have met him twice, and I can indeed see a little bit of a former soldier’s style in him, and his posture is different, a bit similar to you and Old Six.”
He and Ye Jian talked about business matters; Xia Yiwei would occasionally add a few words, “Mrs. Li wouldn’t go to court tomorrow, right?”
“Not necessarily, and it’s still unknown whether the court will be held tomorrow.” Hou Zi smiled and shook his head, “Little Ye said that Sun Ying reported to Ye Zhifan; she had a deal with Mrs. Li privately.”
Ye Jian took a sip of tea and smiled, “She won’t attend the court listening. I ran into someone sent by Mrs. Li when I was crossing the road, heading to the coffee shop. He kindly told me what Mrs. Li was going to do next.”
Ye Jian told the two about the man in a suit. Having said that, she sighed, “I really didn’t expect that Mrs. Li would be polite to me; I’m just a small cadet.”
Xia Yiwei’s pretty face became cold when she heard it, and then she sarcastically said, “Mrs. Li is powerful in Beijing. Not many companies can catch her attention. If she sends someone over, she must be forced. Maybe she still has some fire in her heart.”
It was unclear if there was a fire or not, but Ye Jian knew that Mrs. Li hadn’t forgotten her.
Not wanting to affect Xia Yiwei’s mood, Ye Jian simply smiled and said, “Luckily, she came to find me; it made me more relieved.”
“Little Ye is right, luckily she told you in advance. Sun Ying wants to get out heh; Mrs. Li already made a deal with Little Ye to take a step back and prevent Sun Ying from being sentenced. But…” Hou Zi looked at Ye Jian and said slowly, “Since Mrs. Li said that she didn’t want Sun Ying to have a good life, then why don’t you just let her deal with Sun Ying?”
Ye Jian lightly smiled and nodded, “I have always been thinking this way. The Yunnan Province also notified me so late that the court was going to be held tomorrow. I didn’t even have the opportunity to hire a lawyer. Such unruly things could actually happen to me; it can be seen that Mrs. Li and the Yunnan Province had already made a good deal to make sure I will lose.”
“Now that they have notified me again, I’ll just let her have her wisdom. I don’t want to meet Mrs. Li for now; perhaps we’ll meet again in the future.”
Ye Jian thought very. Clearly, that was why she wasn’t worried at all when Mrs. Li wanted to let Sun Ying come out.
Having said so much with Ye Zhifan, the only person whom she was interested in now was the person behind the jade pendant, who was also the person who wrote the letter to Ye Zhifan.
Hou Zi nodded secretly at her calmness. When they left to go home, he sighed to Xia Yiwei, “Little Ye… When I was her age, I really didn’t have her temperament, nor her mind.”
“Don’t underestimate a calm water surface; you don’t know the depth of the water is unfathomable. Sometimes I have to think a bit when talking to her.”
Xia Yiwei laughed at his words, then she lay in his arms and lazily said, “So, I have to protect Little Ye for Old Six’s sake. Such a good girl mustn’t be ruined by Old Six.”
Ruined by Old Six…
Hou Zi changed the topic; he couldn’t talk about this anymore.
For him, Old Six and Little Ye Jian were a dear match. They had the talents, the looks, the sense of responsibility, and a rare feeling of affection. How could he ruin Ye Jian?
He didn’t want to say it, but as a man for a man, Hou Zi still spoke a bit for Xia Jinyuan, “You are also Old Six’s sister. You two have a good relationship, don’t pull his leg from behind, alright?”
