Chapter 557: Chapter 557: Being Manipulated by Ye Qilan, but Still Grateful to Him…_1

The most terrifying part was, even Ye Shiqing, who had always been in the military and distanced from worldly affairs, was willing to be used by Ye Qilan.

After much consideration, Old Ye knew that Ye Qilan’s scheme was only getting started.

Ye Qilan, who was initially enjoying the splendid expressions on the old man and Ye Xiandong’s faces, felt the woman in his arms trembling slightly.

He glanced at Su Hongxing, only to find her not looking at him, her focus landing anywhere but his face.

Her small hand felt as cold as iron, yet sweat dampened her palm.

Was this audacious woman afraid of him at the moment?

That’s right, how could he forget, she was meticulous and extremely intelligent. Wouldn’t she understand everything he had done thus far?

Ye Qilan’s eyes were unfathomable, he lightly pinched her icy face, but said nothing.

“Sisi, stop this,” Old Ye had not shown weakness in many years, but this time, he had to bow his head to Ye Qilan.

Ye Qilan’s target was the Ye Family. If they couldn’t even protect the Ye Family, they would be nothing but an empty shell. It was his momentary lapse of judgement in the past that led Ye Qilan to harbor such deep resentment.

“What is Old Ye talking about? I can’t quite understand.” Ye Qilan still had the attitude of a spectator enjoying a show.

“Ye Si, you stop playing innocent, are you saying you weren’t the one who orchestrated tonight’s farce?” Ye Xiandong’s face turned livid with fury.

He had always been a libertine, but it was all consensual, and he had never made such a big mess because of a woman.

Tonight he fell into the trap laid out by Ye Qilan, how could he not be angry?

“Do tell, what exactly did I orchestrate? It was you who got Miss Cao pregnant, wasn’t it? It’s undeniable that you are a married man, right? Did I command the two of you to go abroad to get certified? Also, you wanted to disgrace Qiao Qiao at the banquet and voluntarily make way for Miss Cao. Isn’t that the truth? From beginning to end, I really haven’t done anything.”

Ye Qilan was touching Su Hongxing’s hand as he spoke, “Baby girl, don’t you agree everything I’ve said is true?”

Su Hongxing numbly nodded her head.

She suddenly recalled the day Ye Qilan told her about Ye Xiandong and Cao Shiyu going abroad to get a certificate.

Why hadn’t she given it more thought at the time?

Ye Xiandong and Cao Shiyu going abroad to get married was entirely a private matter. How could Ye Qilan have known in advance? It could only be because he had planted a mole close to Ye Xiandong, who then fed him this inside information instantly.

Ye Qilan’s ambition to reclaim the Ye Family was not a recent development. Perhaps from the moment he completely lost the Ye Family, he had begun to lay out his plan.

When one’s mind games reached such profound depths, everyone became his chess pieces, including her, all working faithfully for him, which was quite sickening to think about.

However, it was also undeniable that Qiao Qiao did vent out some of her frustration at tonight’s banquet.

Knowing that she had been manipulated by Ye Qilan, yet still feeling grateful to him, was utterly frustrating.

After Ye Qilan’s words, Ye Xiandong couldn’t utter a single word in response.

Everyone present shared the same sentiment. They knew that Ye Qilan was the one who had set up this scene, yet they couldn’t find a single fault with him.

Perhaps, only Qiao Qiao hadn’t seen through the trickery.

She just found everyone’s expressions quite strange, even Su Hongxing wore a constipated look, which was quite odd.

Seeing Qiao Qiao’s confused state, Ye Shiqing’s icy expression softened a bit.
