As soon as Ye Xiaofei walked into the living room, Ye Cheng greeted her with a chuckle, "How was your first day at work, Xiaofei?"
"It was chaotic. In a company, the hierarchy is a bit vague, the division of labor is unclear, and the discipline is extremely poor. On my first day, I implemented a new management system, and many people were not very happy about it. That Vice President Wang Qian even came to my office to protest. No matter how pleased I am, I will remove you," Ye Xiaofei said with an unhappy expression. As she spoke, she hung her shawl on the coat rack and suddenly remembered her damn shoulder straps. This was an international brand, but the quality was so poor. She felt embarrassed this morning; thankfully, it happened in the elevator.
"Don't rush; take your time. Everything will get better. My granddaughter has studied abroad; how can they compare to you?" Ye Cheng said as he sat down at the dining table, where it seemed everyone was waiting for her to have dinner.
Ye Xiaofei stood up and softly told Ye Cheng, "Grandpa, please wait a moment. I'll go change my clothes and be right back." After saying that, she turned and went upstairs. The old man shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself that she was quite particular about changing clothes just for a meal.
Standing in front of the mirror, Ye Xiaofei took off her strap dress and admired her beautiful figure with great pride. She felt a bit narcissistic; just look at her chest—how many women wished for bigger breasts? They undergo massages, treatments, or even surgeries to enhance them. How could those artificial enhancements compare to natural ones? Having stayed in America for over ten years, she didn't know if it was due to eating too much beef or drinking enough milk, but her body had developed exceptionally well. However, this pair of breasts had been grabbed by some annoying security guard that morning, which made Ye Xiaofei's face slightly flush at the thought.
Under Sister Wu's urging, Ye Xiaofei finally descended gracefully down the stairs. Yingzi and Sister Wu were already waiting for her with Grandpa. She felt a bit embarrassed and nodded at everyone before grabbing her chopsticks to eat.
While eating, Yingzi smiled and asked, "Sister Ye, are you unhappy at work? You haven't said a word."
"It's nothing much. Thankfully, Grandpa reserved me a high position with real power; otherwise, these people would be hard to deal with. That Vice President Wang Qian seems very scheming; it's obvious she's my second uncle's pawn. If she continues to make noise, I'll take action against her; after all, this paper will be torn sooner or later," Ye Xiaofei said confidently while eating.
Ye Cheng shook his head and said, "No, you can't do that; it will alert them and cause trouble. This matter needs to be handled carefully; take your time. Wait until you have solid evidence before taking action."
Ye Xiaofei thought for a moment and obediently nodded, "Okay, Grandpa. I'll listen to you. You shouldn't go out alone recently. If you need to go out for business, Sister Wu and Yingzi must accompany you. After some time, I plan to install surveillance in the villa just in case."
"Surveillance? You mean video cameras?" Yingzi asked with interest.
"Yes! I've already contacted friends in America to help me procure them; their quality will be better," Ye Xiaofei replied with a smile.
"I think it's about the same; isn't it just personal preference? As long as it can capture clearly, that's enough. The ones we installed in our company are domestically produced and still very clear!" Ye Cheng said somewhat dismissively. Although his granddaughter had returned from studying abroad in America, his sense of nationalism remained strong.
Sister Wu smiled and said, "Just install it, regardless of whether it's imported or domestic. Xiaofei, after dinner, come to my room with Yingzi. I have something to discuss with you."
"Is it that mysterious? Can't you say it here?" Ye Cheng asked with a smile.
Sister Wu glanced at Xiaojun, who was mopping the floor in the living room, and deliberately said loudly, "This is a women's topic; it's not suitable for men to be present." Upon hearing this, Ye Cheng shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself that these women must be plotting something again.
In Sister Wu's house, Ye Xiaofei leaned back on Sister Wu's bed, looking relaxed and at ease. Yingzi sat properly on the sofa alongside Sister Wu. None of them spoke as they pondered over Sister Wu's earlier comments regarding Xiaojun's unusual behavior.
"Well! I've figured it out. Grandpa must have had some kind of incident with Xiaojun; she must have something on him. Otherwise, Xiaojun wouldn't dare to be so arrogant, and Grandpa wouldn't let her act recklessly," Ye Xiaofei said with a slight smile. She couldn't understand how her grandfather could still have any relationship with this woman at his age. Besides, wasn't Sister Wu always by his side?
Upon hearing Ye Xiaofei's words, Sister Wu couldn't help but exclaim, "Girl, you can't say such things lightly. You know your grandfather's temper."
"I know, but what's the big deal? Between men and women, if something goes wrong due to carelessness, it's understandable. If he did something, he should clarify it so we can handle the situation. Keeping it hidden might lead to trouble," Ye Xiaofei said as she sat up from the bed. Having returned from abroad, her mindset had become more open.
Yingzi nodded and said, "This matter can't be delayed; it needs to be addressed quickly. If Xiaojun is an undercover agent planted here by someone else, then aren't our daily activities exposed to others?"
"Exactly. We'll go together; you can listen while I ask. There's nothing embarrassing about it," Ye Xiaofei said as she stood up and walked towards the door. Sister Wu glanced at Yingzi, and the two followed her out.
"What’s going on? Have you conspired enough to come find me?" Ye Cheng said with a smile, kindly addressing Ye Xiaofei and the others.
After Ye Xiaofei signaled everyone to sit down, she smiled at Ye Cheng and said, "Grandpa, I have a question for you that you must answer honestly. You can't dodge it or get angry because it concerns your safety."
"Oh? Is it that serious? Go ahead! I will answer truthfully about what I know; just don't be too disrespectful," Ye Cheng replied as he sat down in a chair with a serious expression.
"Then let me ask you: has anything happened between you and Xiaojun?" Ye Xiaofei asked boldly and directly, startling Sister Wu into lowering her head.
Ye Cheng's face instantly changed several colors; it seemed he was engaged in an intense internal struggle. However, he did not explode in anger. Time flowed quietly in the room; it was so silent that one could almost hear a pin drop.
Before asking this question, Ye Xiaofei was not sure, but this matter could only be brought up by her. If Grandpa got angry and scolded or even hit someone, he would accept it because this issue could not be delayed any longer; if it was a tumor, it had to be removed.
Sister Wu was even more frightened. She was well aware of Ye Cheng's temper when he was young; he would resort to violence over a disagreement. Over the years, as he aged and experienced many things, his temper had improved significantly. However, no one dared to ask him such a question that undermined his dignity in front of him.
The atmosphere in the room grew increasingly tense, making it difficult for anyone to breathe. Finally, the old man spoke. He let out a sigh to ease his emotions and then said softly, "Yes, you guessed correctly."
Upon hearing this, Ye Fei exclaimed anxiously, "What? Grandpa, at your age, how can you casually have relations with a maid? If this gets out..."
"Ridiculous! What nonsense are you talking about? Is Grandpa that kind of person?" Ye Cheng slammed the table in anger, interrupting Ye Xiaofei's words, which startled everyone in the room.
Sister Wu cautiously said, "Elder Brother, please don't get angry. Just take your time to clarify the situation. The child spoke a bit hastily, but it's all for your good."
Ye Cheng glanced at Sister Wu and shook his head. "It was the afternoon of the day I had my incident. As soon as you went out, I suddenly felt tightness in my chest and struggled to breathe. I lay down on the sofa and called Xiaojun to bring me the fast-acting heart pills from the table. I took one and noticed there was only one left in the bottle, so I casually put the pill in my pocket."
Ye Cheng paused as if slowly recalling that day's events. After a moment, he continued, "When I put the pill in my mouth, I felt something was off; it tasted very bitter. So I just swallowed it. Before long, I felt hot all over and really uncomfortable. I thought I'd go for a walk to cool down. When I reached the bottom of the stairs, I saw the bathroom door half-open and heard water running. I figured they must have left the faucet on. If someone were taking a shower, the door wouldn't be ajar. So I called out a few times but received no response."
Sister Wu interjected softly, "Yes, that day I went shopping for groceries with two maids while only Xiaojun stayed home doing laundry. But we always use the washing machine for laundry; why would she turn on the bathroom water?"
Ye Cheng ignored Sister Wu and continued, "Seeing no one respond, I gently pushed open the door and was shocked to find Xiaojun inside—completely naked. When she saw me, she screamed and then jumped into my arms..."
"Sure enough, this woman is up to no good!" Ye Xiaofei shouted, interrupting Old Master Ye's words.
