What should have originally been a happy occasion immediately turned and became an unhappy occasion, the atmosphere was currently a bit stifling.
Ye Hua appeared to be very fretful.
Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi were remaining silent.
Right now, Qing Yutong and Ye Zizi naturally wouldn’t try to anger Ye Hua.
And as for Donghuang Li, she was feeling afraid, she was afraid that her daddy and mommy would begin to always quarrel like they used to back then.
After a long while, Qing Ya suggested, “Ye Hua, I feel that we should hold a family meeting.”
“Agreed.” Donghuang Baizhi wanted to properly discuss about their child’s upbringing. After all, Ah Li’s upbringing concerns her future, therefore she felt that it was a must to solve this problem once and for all.
Ye Hua felt that he indeed had to have a proper discussion with his wives on Ah Li’s upbringing, and thus, he said gravely, “Alright!”
Soon after, Ye Hua said towards Qing Yutong, “Yutong, you bring Zizi and Ah Li and head upstairs first.”
Qing Yutong nodded her head, “Alright, you guys should indeed have a proper discussion with each other, a family will prosper only when it is harmonious.”
After finished speaking, Qing Yutong brought Donghuang Li upstairs, and Ye Zizi silently followed behind them while with an expression on her face that seemed to be saying that there was nothing to live for in this world.
The three of them sat at the dining table, and Ye Hua took out and ignited a stick of cigarette, “What do you all have to say.”
As Donghuang Li’s mother, Donghuang Baizhi took the lead to speak, “Ye Hua, can you hand over Ah Li’s upbringing to me?”
“As Ah Li’s father, am I not allowed to educate her?!” Ye Hua questioned gravely.
Today, I definitely have to let them understand one thing, which is that, my words shouldn’t be questioned!
Donghuang Baizhi wrinkled her brows, “But those things that you teach to the child is useless in helping her grow, even more, they may end up causing Ah Li to walk towards an improper path.”
Qing Ya has been pondering things for quite some time already, especially the matter regarding a child’s upbringing. In a few more months, her baby was going to be birth, and it was time for her to start preparing in advance.
“Ye Hua, how about this, can you hand over the children’s upbringing to us?” Qing Ya also wanted to have a proper discussion with Ye Hua, and naturally didn’t hope to end up quarreling with Ye Hua.
“What you all are saying is that, I can’t teach our children?” Ye Hua questioned, and his anger was slowly rising.
They are making it seem as if I am a criminal, to won’t even allow me to educate my children.
Qing Ya said earnestly, “It’s fine for you to talk about those fallacious reasonings of yours with us, but those fallacious reasonings of yours are not good for a child’s growth.”
“That’s right.” Donghuang Baizhi agreed.
Bang!
Ye Hua ruthlessly slammed on the table and said coldly, “Why are those reasonings of mine fallacious! This is a world where the weak are eaten alive by the strong! What do you all intend to raise our children into? Weak and feeble philanthropists?!”
“That’s at least better than raising them into devils who would do all sorts of bad things.” Donghuang Baizhi said faintly.
When those words landed into Ye Hua’s ears, Donghuang Baizhi was basically talking badly about him in a roundabout way, because in the past, Ye Hua was precisely the kind of person who would do all sorts of bad things.
“Enough!” Ye Hua bellowed.
Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi’s bodies froze for a moment, they did not know why Ye Hua suddenly became angry, they were merely discussing about their children’s upbringing and didn’t do anything bad to anger Ye Hua.
The two of them did not go against Ye Hua’s anger because they didn’t want to quarrel with him because of this matter. However, they were still going to strive to get Ye Hua to let them handle their children’s upbringing.
Qing Ya pleaded in a low voice, “Ye Hua, can’t you consider it for a bit?”
“There is no need to consider, this topic ends here, family meeting adjourned!” Ye Hua said coldly, then stood up and was prepared to head upstairs.
Donghuang Baizhi let out a deep sigh, seemingly to be very dejected.
Everything about Ye Hua is good, just that, he is too overbearing. He wants everybody to listen to him, and if anyone doesn’t listen to him, he will get angry.
“Just what is going on with Xiao Family?”
Ye Hua who was preparing to leave suddenly paused for a moment, then turned his head around and looked towards Qing Ya, “What is it that you want to say?”
Qing Ya asked calmly, “How did you obtain the bet money from back then?”
Confusion appeared within Donghuang Baizhi’s eyes. After all, she wasn’t present back then and did not know about the bet that happened.
Ye Hua let out a breath, then said faintly, “Didn’t I tell you before in the past? I ordered someone to go and collect the bet money that those people owe us.”
“Was collecting the bet money the only thing that you ordered the person to do?” Qing Ya asked faintly. In actuality, she was currently feeling very nervous, she did not hope that Ye Hua had something to do with Nangong Xinyi’s death.
While gazing at Qing Ya, Ye Hua asked gravely, “Qing Ya, just what is it that you want to say?”
“Does the death of that Nangong Xinyi have anything to do with you?” Qing Ya asked, and her heart began beating fast.
Naturally, Ye Hua remembers who Nangong Xinyi was, and he asked gravely, “If you have something that you want to say, say it straightforwardly, don’t speak in a roundabout way.”
“I heard that your subordinate forced Nangong Xinyi to her death as interest for paying late. Was that your order, or did your subordinate act on his own initiative?”
Donghuang Baizhi who was at the side was startled.
Such a thing actually happened?
Ye Hua looked at Qing Ya in disbelief.
What is the meaning of this? Is she blaming me?
Ye Hua’s anger which had just calmed down a moment ago immediately began soaring.
“That’s right! That was my order! Owe money, pay money, that is how things work! Back then when I gave them three days to pay up the bet money, they were the ones who didn’t cherish the chance that I gave them! It is already very benevolent of me to not have killed their entire family!”
Originally, Ye Hua didn’t have the intention of keeping things a secret, therefore, it was only natural that he wasn’t going to keep things a secret now, there was no need for that.
Upon hearing the answer, disappointment appeared in Qing Ya’s eyes. She didn’t expect that it was really Ye Hua’s order, and her mind was currently a bit messy.
Meanwhile, Donghuang Baizhi didn’t know what to say, so she remained silent.
Looking at the disappointed look on Qing Ya’s face, Ye Hua was feeling very uncomfortable in his heart.
Ye Hua questioned, “Qing Ya, are you blaming me? Do you think that I should not have dealt with them in such a way?”
Qing Ya wasn’t blaming Ye Hua, and she said tenderly, “Ye Hua, although they were in the wrong, we could sit down and have a proper chat with them, there is no need to force a child’s mother to death, right?”
Upon hearing that, Ye Hua sneered, “Qing Ya, you are blaming me for willfully killing the innocent?”
“Ye Hua, I am not blaming you, I just hope that in the future, you could put yourself in others’ shoes and don’t let your emotions affect your decisions.” Qing Ya persuaded.
In actuality, Qing Ya merely didn’t want to see Ye Hua willfully kill the innocent. Take this time’s debt collection for example, if Xiao Yi was the one who was killed, Qing Ya wouldn’t say anything, but for an innocent mother to be killed, Qing Ya felt that she must talk about this matter with her husband so that such a thing like that wouldn’t happen again in the future.
“Qing Ya, you are too naïve, if I was the one who was weak, do you think that Xiao Yi would let me off? Do you think that he would let you off? Let me tell you! He won’t! Even more, he would use a similar method to make me suffer!”
How would Qing Ya not understand that?
Qing Ya said faintly, “Ye Hua, I know what you are trying to say, but let’s not do those unpresentable things anymore, alright?”
Qing Ya would rather Ye Hua openly go and deal with his enemies, and not sneakily use the lives of innocent to torture his enemies.
“You are saying that I am unpresentable?!” Ye Hua was really angered by Qing Ya.
Donghuang Baizhi hurriedly said, “Ye Hua, Qing Ya didn’t mean it like that, you misunderstood her.”
“Didn’t that subordinate of yours did an improper act to a sect master?” Qing Ya didn’t like how Ye Hua was acting, evidently being in the wrong, yet acts like everything he does was correct.
Donghuang Baizhi was very shocked.
Ye Hua’s subordinate did an improper act to a sect master?
The two wives looked at Ye Hua with a questioning look on their faces.
Half of Ye Hua’s heart turned cold.
Am I that kind of person in your eyes?
Ye Hua said coldly, “If I say that they are currently in love with each other, do you believe me?”
The two wives remained silent.
Evidently to not believe in what Ye Hua said.
At this moment, Ye Hua’s heart was deeply hurt by the two women in front of him.
As his wives, they did not even believe in what their husband said, just how disappointing was such a thing?
“Alright! You all don’t believe, right? I will call them to come over right now!” While speaking, Ye Hua contacted Wei Chang and told Wei Chang to notify Death Mage and Xun Fang to come over.
