Ye Cheng smiled as he handed the brush in his hand to Fei Hu. Fei Hu took the brush, prepared enough ink on the inkstone, and said to Yingzi with a smile, "Let me write a few characters for you, okay?"
Yingzi clapped her hands and laughed, "Sure! I really want to see your calligraphy."
Fei Hu took a deep breath, and with his wrist suspended in the air, the brush tip danced gracefully. With swift strokes, he wrote several large characters on the Xuan paper, each one strong and well-formed. Ye Cheng couldn't help but cheer.
The characters reflected the person; Fei Hu was also quick-witted. These characters were a true portrayal of Yingzi. Sister Wu, standing nearby, laughed and said, "Haha, you really are hiding your talents! Big Brother has practiced calligraphy for many years and is just as skilled as you. Who would have thought that at such a young age, you could write so beautifully and even draw inspiration from the subject? You're truly impressive!"
Fei Hu smiled and replied, "It's really nothing special. Ever since I was young, my grandfather made me take this up as an extra lesson. He said practicing calligraphy can refine one's character; the writing reflects the person."
"Alright, alright, enough of this philosophical talk. It sounds exhausting. Just admit you wrote well! If I hadn't gone abroad for my education in Chinese literature, I could probably write ten times better than you!" Ye Xiaofei refused to back down and continued to tease Fei Hu.
Ye Cheng looked at the characters Fei Hu had just written for Yingzi and said with a smile, "It has a grand style; Yingzi can definitely frame it and hang it by her bedside. But Fei Hu needs to write your name and the date on it for this piece to be perfect."
Upon hearing this, Yingzi was extremely happy and hurriedly asked Fei Hu to add his name and the date. She admired it repeatedly, unable to part with it. Meanwhile, Ye Xiaofei became displeased and raised her eyebrows, saying, "What’s this? You only wrote for her and not for me?"
Fei Hu shrugged his hands and said, "Didn’t you say you didn’t care for my writing? You even compared it to a pig's nose in a scallion..." His words made everyone burst into laughter.
Ye Cheng shook his head and chuckled, "With someone like you asking for calligraphy, you should know that a man of honor cannot be easily swayed. If you have a better attitude, Fei Hu might just leave you one of his genuine pieces."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaofei immediately walked over, took a piece of Xuan paper, set it up like Fei Hu had done earlier, and then smiled at Fei Hu saying, "Master, please write two characters for me as well." Her comical demeanor made everyone laugh heartily.
Seeing this, Fei Hu couldn't hold back any longer. He picked up the brush and glanced at Ye Xiaofei before writing four characters: "Qin Xin Jian Dan," with ease. The way he wrote these characters was effortless; it was almost like performing Tai Chi.
As he signed off, Fei Hu left his name and the date. The room erupted in applause. Fei Hu humbly smiled and said, "I haven't had a chance to practice calligraphy much these past two years; I've almost let it go."
At this moment, the nanny knocked on the door and said, "Sister Wu, the food is ready. Shall we set the table?"
Ye Cheng then smiled and said, "Alright, it's important to eat. Let's tidy up the table here and have our meal!"
Soon, the dishes were brought to the study, and everyone gathered around the tea table. Ye Xiaofei ran out and came back with two bottles of Wuliangye. She smiled and asked, "Grandpa, do you think we should have a couple of drinks?"
"Yes, definitely! You're really clever; how did you know I wanted to drink tonight?" Ye Cheng laughed, glancing at Sister Wu, his laughter sounding quite meaningful.
Fei Hu pretended not to understand, looking around with his eyes. Yingzi kicked Fei Hu lightly and giggled, "What's wrong? This isn't your first time here. What's so special? Hurry up and pour drinks for everyone; look how hard Sister Xiaofei is working."
Upon hearing this, Fei Hu felt a bit embarrassed and stood up. He took the white liquor from Ye Xiaofei's hands, opened it, and poured a glass for each person present. He had only had this high-end liquor a few times before and understood Ye Xiaofei's intentions; this woman kept her thoughts well-hidden, making people ponder.
The meal was lavish, and the liquor was excellent. Fei Hu felt that this dinner seemed specially prepared for him. Sure enough, after three rounds of drinks, Ye Cheng raised his glass and smiled, saying, "Fei Hu, I won't say much; everything is in the liquor. I truly appreciate it. I heard you got hurt a bit; how are you feeling now?"
Fei Hu chuckled humbly and replied, "I'm fine now; it's just that Yingzi's injury was a bit more serious."
Upon hearing this, Yingzi looked gratefully at Fei Hu and quietly said, "I'm almost recovered now; I've been lying down every day since I returned. I went to a big hospital for treatment and used some advanced medicine; I'm basically healed now."
When Ye Xiaofei heard this, it seemed she just remembered something. She quickly stood up, walked over to Fei Hu's side, and softly said, "Yingzi mentioned that your shoulder injury isn't light either. Let me take a look. If it's not too much trouble, I have some leftover medicine from Yingzi in my room; applying it will help you recover quickly."
Fei Hu glanced at Ye Xiaofei's flushed face and thought she might have had a bit too much to drink. With so many people around, she wanted to see his wound. Although it was on his shoulder, there was still a difference between men and women. Fei Hu was momentarily taken aback.
Seeing this, Sister Wu hurriedly stood up and approached them warmly saying, "Child, let us take a look. If it's really healed well, won't everyone feel at ease?"
Fei Hu could only smile awkwardly as he unbuttoned two buttons on his shirt to expose his shoulder as much as possible. Sister Wu gently touched the scar on his shoulder and then said to Ye Xiaofei, "Don't worry; it's just a minor skin injury that has already healed. This kid has a good constitution; this little injury is nothing for him." Only then did Ye Xiaofei feel relieved and sit back down.
"Ha ha, this time it's thanks to Fei Hu and Yingzi. That beast Ye Wei has suffered a heavy blow. Although Ye Wu's losses aren't as great as his, it is still a significant hit for him. I believe he will behave himself much more in the near future," Ye Cheng said slowly while savoring his drink, his tone calm and devoid of any joy on his face.
Fei Hu understood him very well. Even though Ye Wei and Ye Wu were his adopted sons and had openly opposed him, they had shared a father-son bond, and even a tiger does not eat its cubs.
Ye Xiaofei shook his head and said, "It's hard to say at this point. Ye Wei hasn't shown up for work in three or four days. Only Wang Qian is holding things together at the company, and I can see that she's not in good spirits. I'm afraid they might resort to desperate measures and do something even more terrifying that could directly harm us."
"I've thought about this. You should keep a low profile for now and avoid direct confrontation with them. I will persuade Sheng Wei's shareholders one by one and convene a shareholders' meeting as soon as possible to expel Ye Wei from Sheng Wei. We cannot afford any more bloodshed; hurting anyone is not a good thing," Ye Cheng said with a sorrowful expression. He had indeed experienced too much violence and perhaps had come to terms with some things.
Meanwhile, at the villa, while discussing Ye Wei over drinks, he was like an injured beast, curled up on the sofa in a Westin Hotel room, staring blankly ahead without saying a word. He had spent the last few days like this; every day during mealtime, the staff would bring food to him, and he would eat before lying back down.
Money—he had lost millions, all borrowed from others, including over two million from Wang Qian. He hadn't dared to go to the company these days out of fear of facing Wang Qian. Although she already knew about it, he still felt apprehensive when she got angry since he had squandered her capital.
What to do? Ye Xiaofei was keeping a tight grip on the company's finances; he couldn't come up with a single cent. Ye Wei tossed and turned on the sofa, constantly pondering this issue. If he couldn't find some money, he truly wouldn't dare return to the company to face Wang Qian.
Just then, the hotel room door swung open, and he heard the staff say, "Miss Wang, please go inside; Mr. Ye is in there."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wei's expression changed dramatically. At that moment, the door slammed shut with a bang as Wang Qian rushed in like a gust of wind towards the sleeping Ye Wei on the sofa. She grabbed him by the collar with both hands, her eyes filled with terrifying fury. She said fiercely, "Ye Wei, I thought you had hidden yourself on the moon; turns out you're still on Earth! My money—my two million! If you don't give it to me today, I'll drag you out of this window and jump together!"
Ye Wei hung his head low and remained silent, appearing indifferent as if he were a dead pig unafraid of boiling water while Wang Qian pushed him around.
"Fine, fine! You won't speak? I'll call the police right now! I don't believe we can't deal with you!" Wang Qian exclaimed as she really picked up the phone.
