Mrs. Yue swiped the invitation cards off the table. The charity dinner was in three days.

  She scanned through the list of items on auction. There were jewels, antiques, boutique wines—even houses. There were all sorts of things.

  “Qingsi, we’ll buy evening dresses tomorrow,” Mrs. Yue declared.

  The murderous intent roiling off Mrs. Yue abruptly changed her entire countenance. She seemed like a different person in Yan Qingsi’s eyes.

  Yan Qingsi quickly nodded her head. “Sure, sure……”
……

  At the same time, at the hospital, Ye Shaoguang’s uncle and his wife got the report that their precious son would be dumb as a vegetable from now on. Mrs. Ye, unable to accept the shock, immediately fainted and was given emergency treatment by the doctors.

  Ye Shaoguang’s uncle purpled with rage. He clenched his teeth and glared at Ye Shaoguang. “Why didn’t you tell me that you ran into You Yi and Yan Qingsi yesterday morning at the club? Why didn’t you tell me that You Yi and Weiguang got into a disagreement?”


  Ye Shaoguang splayed his arms. “You can’t blame me for this,” he said. “Weiguang didn’t want me to say anything. He couldn’t stand the embarrassment of being beaten up; naturally, he didn’t want me to tell others about it.”


  Since Ye Weiguang had no way of finding anything out, it did not matter what he said. Ye Shaoguang simply pushed all the problems onto Ye Weiguang.

  Ye Shaoguang’s uncle knew his son and his morality. He was perverted, brainless and loved upkeeping his reputation. He thought that Ye Shaoguang was telling the truth.

  Although he was angry, and he wanted to vent all his frustrations on Ye Shaoguang, but he reined it all in. His nephew was not the same person as he was when he was younger.

  “What did Weiguang do to offend You Yi?”


  Ye Shaoguang continued to pretend to be confused. “I really don’t know. I just saw Uncle Ye stepping on Weiguang on the floor from a distance and quickly stepped in. When I asked Weiguang why Uncle You had a sudden burst of anger, he scolded me. He didn’t answer me either.”


  “You actually don’t know anything?”


  “From your tone, should I know anything? Weiguang refused to tell me anything. I don’t have any excuse to keep pressing him for answers.”


  Ye Shaoguang’s uncle gave him a cold stare. “Shaoguang, you should remember that you’ll always be a Ye.”


  “Thank you for your gentle reminder. I’ve never forgotten, anyway.”


  Ye Shaoguang lifted his chin and left, throwing an icy stare at his uncle along the way. He turned his head and saw Ye Weiguang on the bed, drool dribbling down his chin.

  Now his uncle probably only suspected You Yi as the instigator. Yet he would not dare to raise a hand against the You family. Even his own son had been rendered dumb, he would not attempt to go against the You family.

  Ye Shaoguang emitted a mirthless laugh. The lady doctor was right—so what if you were a Ye!……

  It was nighttime in Hai city, You Xi’s ward.

  You Xi woke up groggily in the middle of the night. He wanted to get out of the bed and go to the washroom, so he called for the nurse, but no one came even after a long time. He was so angry that he sat upright. The first thing he saw was the window thrown wide open. The night breeze streamed in, billowing the curtains.

  A shiver ran up You Xi’s spine. The window was definitely closed. How did it get open?

  “You’re awake,” a cold voice suddenly rang out in the darkness of the room.

  You Xi’s heart skipped a beat; he jumped on the bed. He turned around and saw a person sitting by his bedside. Shadows enveloped the person’s body; only his eyes glimmered in the darkness. They were cold and terrifying.

  You Xi swallowed. “Uncle, why are you here?” he asked, voice shaky.

  He had always been afraid of this uncle since young. He was never afraid of his parents—only this uncle. He would always shrivel up every time he saw his uncle since he was young.

  “I have some business with you,” You Yi said coolly.
