Chapter 631: Chapter 0631: Men, My Wife Will Understand
Ye Xunhuan had thought of the point Qiu Ruoxi mentioned long ago; after all, Luo Weilian was Luo Hanlin’s son, and also part of the Hongyuan Group.
Now that the entire Hongyuan Group was under Qiu Ruoxi’s control, it was quite normal for Luo Weilian to have nothing.
However, Ye Xunhuan felt that the matter was not as simple as Qiu Ruoxi described; otherwise, Qu Qiangwei would not have attempted to kill Luo Weilian.
But Qiu Ruoxi evidently had no intention of explaining anything to Ye Xunhuan; after dinner, she went straight upstairs.
After Qiu Ruoxi had left, Wang Ma, who had been silent all the while, suddenly sighed.
This sigh was filled with melancholy.
"Wang Ma, do you know something about this?" Ye Xunhuan asked curiously.
Wang Ma was an elder who, it was said, had been taking care of Qiu Ruoxi since she was young.
So, she must know many things.
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s question, Wang Ma’s face showed a moment of hesitation, but she finally spoke up, "Young Master, Miss almost killed her cousin!"
Ye Xunhuan’s heart gave a sudden tremor.
"Wang Ma, that’s a poor taste in jokes!"
Although Qiu Ruoxi was very strong in the business world, Ye Xunhuan would never believe she could kill someone.
"Young Master, don’t be fooled by Miss’s usual silence; when it comes to enemies, she never shows any mercy. Moreover, the cousin had designs on her grandfather’s family, and his father even stole something from Ruoxi’s grandfather!" Wang Ma whispered, "It made Ruoxi’s grandfather so angry that he fell seriously ill!"
"Over the years, only the second miss used to come back occasionally; the cousin visited a few times, but his father never came back at all."
"They all harbored ill intentions towards the Xiahou family, but Ruoxi’s grandfather said that after his hundred years, all these things would belong to Miss!" Wang Ma said helplessly, "No one could touch them!"
"After you went on a business trip, the cousin made his moves on Miss’s company and even plotted against her. However, for some reason, he did not succeed, and it seemed like he got himself involved in trouble instead," Wang Ma summarized briefly, "I don’t know the details!"
"Wang Ma, what does Ruoxi’s grandfather’s family do?"
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s question, Wang Ma did not answer but shook her head, "Young Master, it’s better you ask Miss about this!"
Wang Ma seemed extremely reluctant to say more about the Xiahou family, as if it was a taboo subject.
This filled Ye Xunhuan with puzzlement; what exactly did the Xiahou family do that even Wang Ma, the elder, was unwilling to speak of, insisting he ask Qiu Ruoxi himself?
Then, Wang Ma cleaned up the dining table and went into the kitchen.
Ye Xunhuan sat to one side, lighting a cigarette for himself, looking deep in thought.
The Xiahou family seemed far more complicated than he had thought!
What kind of family was this, really?
...
Early morning, the sky was foggy, looking very oppressive and dry, as if a torrential rain was about to pour down.
Ye Xunhuan did not choose to rest after just coming back, but went straight to Huantu Group to work.
As soon as Ye Xunhuan entered the company, before he even sat down at his own desk, Long Zuputi hurried over from outside.
Although they hadn’t seen each other for several days, Long Zuputi was still the same as always, dressed in an OL business suit that perfectly outlined her graceful figure.
Perhaps it was because he had spent so much time in the workplace that Long Ancestor Bodhi now seemed more and more like an office lady!
"Oh, Marshal Your Excellency has returned!" Long Ancestor Bodhi said with a somewhat sarcastic tone, "Had enough fun?"
"What do you mean fun, I was on a business trip!" Ye Xunhuan said earnestly, "Business trip, do you understand?"
"Yes, a business trip, one trip and you turned the whole of Milan upside down!" Long Ancestor Bodhi curled her lips and said, "Marshal Your Excellency, you’re really imposing, controlling the clouds with one hand and the rain with the other, directly getting Hongyuan Group under the control of your queen, with so many tycoons escorting her!"
"You really went all in!"
Hearing Long Ancestor Bodhi’s words, Ye Xunhuan didn’t show any surprise on his face.
He had never expected to keep the events in Milan a secret from a woman like Long Ancestor Bodhi.
This woman had quite a solid foundation overseas.
"So-so, not too bad!" Ye Xunhuan said very modestly.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan’s modest appearance, Long Ancestor Bodhi’s delicate face suddenly turned stern, "Ye Xunhuan, you bastard, Qiu Ruoxi is your wife, why didn’t you tell me?"
"You wanted to kill my wife in a fit of rage back then, how could I dare tell you?"
"You..."
"Alright, now you know, my wife is Qiu Ruoxi, do what you want," Ye Xunhuan said as he casually sat down and crossed his legs, looking at Long Ancestor Bodhi.
What to do?
Kill her?
Is that possible?
Just like Ye Xunhuan had said before, messing with Qiu Ruoxi meant making an enemy of his kingdom.
Watching Ye Xunhuan’s fearless demeanor, Long Ancestor Bodhi was so irritated she itched to gnash her teeth, yet she didn’t have any way to handle him.
Suddenly, a spark of inspiration flashed through Long Ancestor Bodhi’s mind, and her frost-covered face seemed to meet sunlight, immediately melting away and revealing a smile as splendid as a blooming peony.
Seeing the smile on Long Ancestor Bodhi’s face, Ye Xunhuan’s heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition suddenly rose up, "Long Ancestor Bodhi, I’m warning you, don’t go doing anything rash, I..."
"My dear Marshal, why so nervous?" Long Ancestor Bodhi looked at Ye Xunhuan coquettishly, like a siren, "This little girl won’t make it hard on your queen!"
As she spoke, Long Ancestor Bodhi positioned herself on Ye Xunhuan’s lap, wrapping her arm around his neck, and batting her eyes said, "Say, if your wife found out that you were messing around in the office, what do you think she would do?"
Ye Xunhuan’s heart lurched, but his face remained unaffected, "I guess, my wife would say I ate too much rice and wanted something spicy, looking for a fresh experience!"
Hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Long Ancestor Bodhi’s face instantly darkened, "You’re saying I’m the spicy hotpot..."
"No, how could you be the spicy hotpot, you’re much prettier than that!"
"You..."
"Alright, stop messing with me!" Ye Xunhuan said indifferently, "Don’t waste your efforts, my wife knows exactly what kind of person I am. Didn’t you see the news recently? I slept with someone else’s fiancée, and my wife didn’t even get mad, let alone sleeping with a mere secretary like you!"
"Men ah, who doesn’t steal a little something on the side, my wife can understand that!"
"I wonder if the queen would tolerate sharing a roof with other women," Long Ancestor Bodhi said, breathing hotly toward Ye Xunhuan, "I’d reckon she’s so generous, she probably wouldn’t mind, what do you think?"
"Damn it, Long Ancestor Bodhi, what the hell do you want?"
