Chapter 360: Chapter 0360: Qi Jieyu’s Invitation
Qi Shijie’s act of kneeling was the talk of high society, with nearly every member discussing and awaiting the subsequent developments!
Just as Qin Muge said, Qi Jieyu was the kind of mother who would fight fiercely for her child. How could she possibly let such public humiliation of Qi Shijie slide?
So everyone believed that Qi Jieyu would definitely take action!
They weren’t wrong, as Qi Jieyu did take action. Early this morning, she arrived in Jiangzhong City and found Ye Xunhuan’s phone number through some special channels!
Around eleven in the afternoon, while Ye Xunhuan was happily playing Plants vs. Zombies, his phone started to ring!
Ye Xunhuan picked up the phone and frowned slightly at the caller ID.
Although he wasn’t someone important, not many people had his phone number. This number was quite unfamiliar to him – who could it be?
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Xunhuan answered the call, "Hello..."
No sooner had Ye Xunhuan spoken than a crisp but somewhat cold voice came from the receiver, "Is this Mr. Ye Xunhuan?"
"It is me, who is this?"
"Qi Jieyu, Shijie’s mother."
Hearing Qi Jieyu’s self-introduction, Ye Xunhuan slowly showed an interested expression on his face. He had talked with Qiu Ruoxi for half the night yesterday and had roughly figured out Qi Jieyu’s connections. He also knew that this woman was quite capable!
"Oh, it’s Miss Qi!" Ye Xunhuan said softly, "What can I do for you?"
"I don’t know if Mr. Ye has the time, but I would like to invite you for some noon tea."
"Isn’t there only afternoon tea? When did noon tea become popular?" Ye Xunhuan asked, puzzled.
At the other end of the call, the corners of Qi Jieyu’s mouth twitched slightly upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words. What a sharp tongue!
"I don’t know if Mr. Ye has the time..."
"I have other things to take care of later!"
"Don’t worry Mr. Ye, it won’t take up too much of your time."
"Sorry, but I’m not accustomed to having tea with married ladies..."
"Mr. Ye, don’t be so quick to refuse. My visit isn’t just about having tea..."
"Could it be that you’ve heard about my impressive skills in bed and want to... support me?" Ye Xunhuan stated seriously, "Sorry, but I’m not that kind of person!"
Even though Qi Jieyu had spent many years in the business world and had learned to keep her emotions hidden, she couldn’t help but turn cold at Ye Xunhuan’s teasing remark.
"Mr. Ye is overthinking it..."
"Then what do you want with me?" Ye Xunhuan immediately interrupted Qi Jieyu and his face showed a look of realization. "I get it, you’re here because your son lost a bet to me, right?"
"That’s part of it..."
"Really pathetic. A grown man and still getting his parents to fight his battles. Miss Qi, you’re not bringing up your son the right way. You should..." Ye Xunhuan earnestly began to lecture Qi Jieyu on how to properly raise her child.
On the other end of the phone, Qi Jieyu really wanted to slap Ye Xunhuan dead. How she raised her child was none of his business!
The little upstart!
At that moment, Qi Jieyu was holding back the anger in her heart, trying not to snap.
"Besides, it wasn’t me who made your son kneel; it was your sister."
Surprised to hear Ye Xunhuan mention her sister, Qi Jieyu was taken aback—she didn’t have a sister!
"My sister?"
"Right, it’s that Dongfang Shu, the imperial concubine." Ye Xunhuan explained very seriously, "You see, she’s a Shu, you are Jieyu, both are the emperor’s lesser wives, but according to the levels of imperial concubines, Shu is ranked higher than Jieyu..."
Qi Jieyu’s face had already turned from black to pale with anger, and if Ye Xunhuan were before her, she definitely would slap him!
This bastard!
"Mr. Ye is really humorous..." Qi Jieyu forced herself to maintain a gentle voice.
"Isn’t she your sister..."
"Of course not!" Qi Jieyu said indifferently, "Alright, Mr. Ye, don’t overthink it, I’m not here to stand up for Shi Jie!"
"Losing a bet and fulfilling the wager is only right and proper, I have nothing to say about that. I’m here this time to discuss a business proposition with Mr. Ye, I wonder if you dare to come?"
"You’re not preparing to have people beat me up, are you..."
"That depends on whether Mr. Ye has the courage to come!"
"If it’s just going, who’s afraid of whom, but let me be clear up front, I am capable of calling the police!"
"I’ll be waiting for you at Yuzhu Teahouse!"
As soon as the words fell, Qi Jieyu hung up the phone directly.
Ye Xunhuan slowly put away his mobile phone, a faint smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
Qi Jieyu, interesting!
Afterward, Ye Xunhuan stood up and prepared to go to Yuzhu Teahouse.
As he walked out of the office, he encountered Long Zhuputi.
Seeing that Ye Xunhuan was leaving, Long Zhuputi blocked his way: "Where are you going?"
"To meet a woman!"
"Another woman?" Long Zhuputi’s expression turned cold immediately.
"A woman who wants to kill me!" Ye Xunhuan said with a smile, "Alright, I’m off, don’t follow me secretly or else I might take action against you!"
Watching the retreating figure of Ye Xunhuan, Long Zhuputi’s white teeth clenched with a gnashing sound.
She wanted to follow him, but Ye Xunhuan was very perceptive; tracking him was practically impossible, and it wasn’t her first or second time trying to trace him back to his wife by following the vine to get the melon.
Every time she was found by Ye Xunhuan, no matter how well she hid, he would notice her, leading Long Zhuputi to wonder if he was even human.
And there was what he had said before, about killing her not being such an easy thing; was that really true?
After leaving Huan Tu Group, Ye Xunhuan went straight to Yuzhu Teahouse!
Yuzhu Teahouse was located at the riverside along the coast, with beautiful scenery all around. Being near the sea and with an ancient pedigree, it was one of the few truly authentic teahouses in Jiangzhong City.
When Ye Xunhuan arrived at Yuzhu Teahouse by car, a young lady wearing a cheongsam came over: "You must be Mr. Ye, right?"
The woman’s face wore a professional smile.
Ye Xunhuan nodded: "That’s me!"
"Ms. Qi had already instructed us that if you came, to direct you immediately to the private room!"
"Thank you!"
Following the cheongsam-clad lady, Ye Xunhuan went straight to the second floor. Under normal circumstances, Ye Xunhuan would have certainly appreciated the woman’s firm and swaying hips, but at the moment, he was not in the mood.
Right now, he was fully focused on what Qi Jieyu wanted to talk to him about!
