"Grandpa, I used to enjoy flirting around and I admit that I was a bit of a jerk. This, I absolutely acknowledge." Ye Zixun's tone became steady, rare for him to be this serious.
Grandpa Ye couldn't help but sit down, quietly listening intently.
Ye Zixun calmly explained, "I used to be that kind of person, but this time I really didn't do anything wrong to Baobao. She misunderstood me; no matter how I explain, she just won't believe me. What can I do?
Yesterday, she wanted to divorce me, and I didn't agree. She wanted to go back to work, and I agreed. In a couple of days, I'll let her go back to the office.
Maybe if she interacts with people outside more, she won't overthink things like this!"
"Is that so? You really have nothing going on with other women? It's really just Lan Baobao misunderstanding?" Grandpa Ye's tone was full of disbelief.
Ye Zixun felt quite displeased!
This old man, clearly he is his own grandson, yet he doesn't believe him. This truly filled Ye Zixun with a sense of frustration.
"What I'm saying is true! I only met that woman from the past at the office because of business matters. We didn't do anything; we just sat and talked for a bit, and then we came out of the office together. But Lan Baobao saw us like that.
No matter how I explain it, Lan Baobao just won't believe my words. Grandpa, why is Lan Baobao's temper so stubborn? Why can't she consider my perspective for once?"
"You still think you have a point!" Grandpa Ye couldn't hold back his anger any longer. He grabbed his cane and was about to strike. Fortunately, Ye Zixun reacted quickly and dodged just in time; otherwise, that heavy rosewood cane would have disfigured him.
"Grandpa, you have to believe me!" Ye Zixun was truly helpless, dodging Grandpa Ye's attacks while also keeping an eye on the elderly man behind him to ensure he wouldn't accidentally hurt himself.
"I believe you!" Grandpa Ye panted as he chased after Ye Zixun, shouting, "I know my own grandson! Lan Baobao saw you hugging and cuddling with another woman! And you're still here trying to play it off like it's nothing. Do you really think I've lost my mind?"
"Moreover, you only invited that woman out for business purposes. Stinky Kid, don't you know you're already married? A married person should know how to avoid suspicion!
You're something else; not only do you not understand how to avoid suspicion, but you also brought her alone to your office!
Stinky Kid, if I remember correctly, your office has a guest room for resting that looks like a five-star hotel!
You two, a man and a woman alone together discussing matters—who knows if it might lead to something more! I see you haven't been beaten by me for a while, and now you're getting restless! If you don't know what you're doing, let me knock some sense into you!"
While holding his cane, Grandpa Ye chased after Ye Zixun. After several laps, Grandpa Ye was exhausted and sat down on the sofa, unable to get back up.
Ye Zixun was also quite tired; on one hand, he had to dodge Grandpa Ye's attacks, and on the other hand, he needed to avoid running too fast so that Grandpa Ye couldn't keep up. Frustrated, he finally made a stand.
Seeing that the old man had finally stopped chasing him, Ye Zixun seized the moment to catch his breath and quickly leaned against the back of the sofa opposite Grandpa Ye, urgently explaining, "Grandpa, it's really a misunderstanding. My contact with Mu Jiao'er was because I discovered that she was the one who had previously orchestrated the breakup between me and Lan Baobao with Pan Xinzi and Yan Momo. I approached her to gather evidence to drive her away from me and then deal with Pan Xinzi and Yan Momo so she wouldn't come up with any more schemes against Lan Baobao.
Also, the old man from the Pan family left a will stating that if Pan Xinzi doesn't marry Lan Baobao, he won't inherit any property.
This guy is trying every means possible to take my wife away. If I don't take action first, I'll be schemed against. You wouldn't want Lan Baobao to be taken away by another man, especially by Pan Xinzi. Grandpa, that guy looks like horse manure and is unreliable in his actions.
He can treat his own woman as a pawn; Lan Baobao isn't exactly clever either—she wouldn't be able to protect herself outside our home without me and our two kids!
If she were to be taken away by Pan Xinzi, where would I go to find her for you?"
Ye Zixun's explanation finally achieved initial success; his points were reasonable and clearly articulated.
After listening, Grandpa Ye calmed down his anger and thought for a while. Once he sorted out the sequence of events, he asked, "That Mu Jiao'er of yours is the woman who appeared at the engagement ceremony, right? I think I've heard of Pan Xinzi, but I can't remember what kind of person he is. He must be from a business background; otherwise, I wouldn't forget who the successor is!"
Indeed, which family's business could compare to yours!
Besides someone like Gu Feng, what other level of enterprise would you even consider?
Ye Zixun silently complained but...
He, Ye Zixun, didn't take that worthless Pan Xinzi seriously either!
"Yes, that's the woman. She teamed up with Pan Xinzi and Pan Xinzi's woman. I've already been set up by her several times. If I don't fight back properly, I won't be able to protect Lan Baobao!"
"Stinky Kid, is everything you're saying true? You're not lying to me?"
"Of course not, Grandpa. When have I ever lied to you? You hold the highest position in my heart! Not even God or Buddha can compare to you.
Your status is the most exalted; no one can match it!" Ye Zixun said helplessly.
This flattery must be getting old; still, it should make the old man happy!
"Well... even so, that doesn't mean you're a good person!" Grandpa Ye still wouldn't let it go. Right now, he was only concerned about his granddaughter-in-law's grievances and didn't care about this ungrateful grandson.
No matter how it turned out, the situation was like this because Ye Zixun lacked the ability to protect his woman.
As a man, he should already be shielding against the wind and rain. This Pan Xinzi and Yan Momo, even that Mu Jiao'er, if they threaten the stability of the Ye Family, why not just eliminate them directly?
Why keep them around and play these cat-and-mouse tricks? Stupid grandson, what is he thinking?
"Grandpa! Why can't you understand?" Ye Zixun said helplessly.
He thought to himself, as the president of Ye Family Enterprises, being chased with a cane at home was quite embarrassing. He Ye Zixun was someone who valued his reputation.
"Alright, alright, no matter what reason the manager has, I don't want to delve into it right now! If you can't even handle these three useless people, what’s the point of associating with so many underworld figures? I think at this moment, Gu Feng is much more useful than you!"
Grandpa Ye waved his hand dismissively and said, "Regardless, Lan Baobao still has feelings for you. However, after being stimulated, she is now determined to divorce you. I absolutely do not want to lose this granddaughter-in-law. If she leaves, you'll be in trouble!
You should figure out how to handle this situation yourself!"
"Don't worry, Grandpa." Ye Zixun replied firmly, "I won't let Lan Baobao divorce me, and she won't divorce me either."
Ye Zixun now completely understood.
His heart could not bear to be apart from Lan Baobao. Last night, when Lan Baobao misunderstood him and mentioned divorce, it kept him awake all night, her figure filling his mind.
He Ye Zixun wanted to keep her by his side; no matter what price he had to pay, he would not let her slip away.
No matter what it took...
"Ye Zixun." Grandpa Ye sighed helplessly. He understood his grandson's temperament; if pushed too hard, he could do anything.
Grandpa Ye still felt uneasy and reminded him, "I don't care what methods you use to keep Lan Baobao with you, but I will not allow you to hurt her. If she gets hurt, don't blame me for not recognizing you as my grandson!
If Lan Baobao insists on divorcing you, just go along with her for now. Once you've resolved the issues with Mu Jiao'er, bring evidence and ask Lan Baobao for forgiveness. She will definitely come back; she still cares about you. However, make sure that during this time, no one with ulterior motives can take advantage."
In fact, Grandpa Ye's words were quite reasonable. He knew his grandson's character well and understood how capable he was. His advice was meant to persuade Ye Zixun not to force Lan Baobao to stay, which could lead to a rift between them. Even if both wanted to reconcile later, pride might prevent them from doing so.
The old man was indeed very wise.
"Grandpa, you don't need to worry about this matter; I will handle it well." Ye Zixun did not take Grandpa Ye's words to heart. This man had always made his own decisions and would not easily heed others' opinions.
Moreover, asking Lan Baobao for help?
That was laughable; he had never been one to beg anyone. Besides, this situation was something he had done for Lan Baobao. If she didn't appreciate it, that was one thing; but if she deliberately tried to make him uncomfortable, that was another matter entirely.
Ye Zixun would not allow Lan Baobao to leave his sight, let alone leave his side.
Divorce? What a joke! That would never happen!
