Chapter 423: 370 The boy and girl twins are not Ye Cheng’s_3

If this continues, Yecheng will lose his reputation, and it is very likely that he will lose the right to inherit the position of Prime Minister, which is very disadvantageous to Yecheng.

Old Master Gu looked at his daughter-in-law, observing her as she became aggressive in her fury.

With a mild smile, "Junmei, isn’t your perspective a bit skewed? Instead of investigating who is spreading these rumors, you’re here questioning me."

"Dad, my perspective isn’t skewed. If our Gu Family doesn’t handle this situation well, it directly impacts whether Yecheng can inherit the Prime Minister position. Yes, you’ve passed the position to the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister can pass it to Yecheng, but there are also stipulations that if the heir’s character is too poor, they will lose their right to inherit. Recently, there are an overwhelming number of messages about Yecheng’s poor character. Have you cared about this?"

Yan Junmei said this, then sneered, "Dad, I can understand that you are eager to embrace grandchildren, but you shouldn’t rashly acknowledge grandchildren that aren’t ours. Our Yecheng is not infertile; why should he be made a joyous father."

In one sentence, she didn’t care about Xiaofeng’s background or family status, nor did she care if Xiaofeng’s education level was high, but she couldn’t accept Xiaofeng bringing a pair of children into the Gu Family who weren’t of their bloodline.

She wouldn’t agree, and she couldn’t accept it even more.

As opposed to Yan Junmei’s frantic state, Old Master Gu was quite at ease. He genuinely didn’t take what Yan Junmei said to heart.

"Junmei, grandchildren have their own fortune. I’m already old, as long as the children like it, let them be. As for the matter of the heir, you shouldn’t worry about it needlessly. If Yecheng can’t even handle these issues, even if I pass the position to him, it would be futile."

"Dad, that’s not how it should be said. Even if Yecheng is capable, if the timing is against him, it is a threat."

"Junmei, what outsiders say is always just that, outsiders’ words. You believe any random rumors they come up with. Let me tell you, as long as our Gu Family insists that the child is Yecheng’s, what can outsiders say?" Old Master Gu thought those outsiders were just overzealous busybodies, whether the child was of their Gu Family or not was their own affair, none of their business.

"Dad." Yan Junmei, upon hearing her father-in-law’s words, was utterly speechless, "You can’t do this, Dad. I’ve decided that Xiaofeng and Yecheng’s marriage doesn’t count. If they are already registered, they should get a divorce."

The father-in-law might not care, the Prime Minister would certainly listen to him, and as for Yecheng himself, he probably lacked backbone by now. In this matter, she had the most say.

She didn’t agree with Xiaofeng entering the Gu Family, nor did she agree to continue the marital relationship between Yecheng and Xiaofeng.

"Junmei, why the rush? It hasn’t come to that point yet. You, be careful not to fall into someone else’s trap without realizing it. Let me tell you, no matter what other people say about this matter, it doesn’t matter, our own family members can’t be chaotic. If our own family members start to falter, that’s when the most terrible things might happen. You understand what I mean, right?" Old Master Gu thought, his daughter-in-law still wasn’t handling things soberly.

At this time, was it time to discuss whether Xiaofeng and Acheng’s marriage could continue? If that were the case, it would mean falling right into the opponent’s scheme.

"Dad, what do you mean, I can’t pursue this matter? Dad, no matter how you try to stop it, I won’t agree," Yan Junmei said and walked out of the study.

She now wanted to talk to Xiaofeng, to hear what Xiaofeng truly thought, and also to share her own thoughts with Xiaofeng, to see the other party’s true face.

If the other party refused to leave, it would confirm that she had used some scheme to seduce Acheng from the start.

If the other party is willing to leave Acheng, then the matter would be easily solved. If the other party was reasonable, she would be reasonable as well.

...

"Young Master." Ye Fei rushed into the interrogation room, "Madam has gone to find the Young Madam."

Ye Cheng took off his gloves and washed his hands, only then did he don his coat, his reply to Niu Tou was completely off-topic, "Have you found out the relationship between Lange Yuntian and the Xu Family?"

The news about him at Lange Yuntian Club was spreading too fast. It would be strange if there were no connections between the Xu Family and Lange Yuntian Club.

"Young Master, do you suspect that the Xu Family is the puppet master behind the club?" Ye Fei was taken aback.

"Suspect everything that can be suspected," Ye Cheng chuckled, "The Xu Family is playing me this way, just to make me a joke in the Imperial Capital and then strip me of my eligibility as the heir."

"If the Xu Family is targeting your position as an heir, they’re miscalculating," Ye Fei felt that the Xu Family playing such a game was tantamount to playing with fire, "By the way, An Yi sent a message saying that the Xu Family asked Men Chao to attempt to contact Dark Pavilion’s people. Is Xu Family trying to bribe Dark Pavilion to strike at you by doing this?"

Dark Pavilion is a mysterious organization in the Imperial Capital. It is said that even the top brass fear this organization, as they hold the dark secrets of everyone in their hands. As long as you’re willing to pay the price, they can sell you some secrets that are not known to the public.

Thus, everyone both fears and is curious about Dark Pavilion, hoping to buy some information from them that is unfavorable to their competitors, and then doom the opposition.

Plainly put, it’s a dark intelligence agency.

"Let An Yi take the job. I want to see what Xu Family intends to do next."

"Aren’t you worried about the Young Madam? Madam might cause trouble for the Young Madam," Ye Fei was still concerned.

After hearing the news, Madam must have been furious.

"Let’s go, let’s see," Ye Cheng draped on a black coat, put on a pair of black sunglasses, and an intense aura surrounded him.

If Xiaofeng saw Ye Cheng looking like this, she would definitely think she had seen the Xu Wenqiang of the old days, storming the Shanghai scene, in one word, cool.

...

Xiaonian was hospitalized and her godmother was running back and forth between the hospital and home. These past two days, she stayed at the Quan Family’s place, occasionally visiting Xiaonian in the hospital or staying at the Quan Family’s to look after the baby.

In the meantime, she had called Mr. Yuan. Mr. Yuan was still agreeable to her proposal for a ten-year lease, but he suggested that although a ten-year lease was fine, the rent shouldn’t remain unchanged and should appropriately increase with the market rate in the future.

Times are changing, and some expenses are certainly changing too. This condition couldn’t be set in stone. As for how to decide, that required a face-to-face discussion.

Xiaofeng could understand the landlord’s request.

Hearing that Xiaofeng was going out, Chu Qing said to her, "Xiaonian is almost recovered now, and Xiaoyan is there at the hospital, so you go ahead. I’ll look after the baby at home."

"Okay, I’ll trouble you then, godmother. I’m interested in a shop, and they asked me to go over for a talk," Xiaofeng said, feeling a bit embarrassed; her godmother was truly too good to her.

She had heard the appraisal would take a week to come out. That meant in another two or three days, the results would be known.
