Xiao Li felt that her rejection of him gradually weakened, and his tense handsome face softened a bit. He let go of her and stood beside the bed, looking down at her.

"Ye Shengxiao, I'll give you a chance to regret it. Before getting married, you can choose to leave. I won't stop you."

"However, if you choose to marry into the Xiao family, then stick to your duty and forget all those messy things. If you dare to cross the line, I will never let you go."

Ye Shengxiao opened her eyes, her eyes as quiet as a pool of stagnant water: "What is your bottom line?"

"Cheating and betrayal, you'd better not get involved in either." Xiao Li's voice was so cold that it sent chills through people's hearts.

Ye Shengxiao was silent for a while, then turned her head and said, "I understand."

The Xiao family refused to give up the custody of their child, and it happened to be such a place that was like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. How could she safely leave the child in his hands and leave without caring about it?

And if she wanted to stay, she had no choice but to agree to his conditions.

Xiao Li stared at her for a few seconds and said in a deep voice: "I will take the child back to Xiao's house in a while. After your affairs are settled, we will discuss marriage matters. This is my phone number. If you want to see the child,

Or if you need help with anything, you can come to me directly."

He placed the business card on the table and tapped the phone column with his slender fingertips.

"Yes." Ye Shengxiao did not refuse, took the business card, glanced at it, and nodded lightly.

Knowing that Xiao Li didn't mean to harm him back then, the big stone that Ye Shengxiao had been pressing in her heart for a long time seemed to be suddenly lifted away, and her breathing became much lighter, with a bit of relief.

It's just that she always regarded Xiao Li as an accomplice who harmed her. She couldn't change her attitude for a while, and her pretty face remained tense.

Xiao Li's dark eyes darkened, his thin lips pursed, and without saying another word, he turned and left the ward.

A few days later.

Perhaps because they were afraid of Xiao Li, Ye Xiao and Shen Ting never bothered her again.

After a few days of recuperation, Ye Shengxiao's body was mostly healed. As soon as she finished the formalities this afternoon and walked out of the hospital with her luggage, she was stopped by a luxury car on the street.

The driver got out of the car and respectfully opened the door for Ye Shengxiao: "Madam, I was sent by Mr. Xiao to see you off. Mr. Xiao has prepared an apartment for you in the city. Do you want to go back now?"

A flash of surprise flashed through Ye Shengxiao's eyes, and she felt uncomfortable with this title for a moment. She thought for a moment, then bent down and got into the car: "If you don't come back, take me directly to Ye's house."

She will never be soft-hearted for that family again. She will hold everything that belongs to her tightly in her hands.

"Yes, madam." The driver got in the car and took out a sealed document bag from the box and handed it to her: "This is what Mr. Xiao asked me to forward to you."

Xiao Li gave it to her?

"Thank you." Ye Shengxiao raised her eyebrows and took it. After opening it, she flipped through the information inside, her expression getting increasingly ugly.

After a long while, she pulled out Xiao Li's phone number and called, her voice as cold as ice: "Are you sure that everything in the information you gave me is true?"

Xiao Li waited for a while before answering, with a magnetic low hoarse voice that was very nice: "Not a single word is false."

Without waiting for her to respond, he hung up the phone.

Ye Shengxiao looked at the interface for ending the call on the screen, and felt a warm current flowing through her heart, silently, but not to be ignored.

What kind of person is Xiao Li?

His eyes flowed, and the next moment he thought of the content of the information, he closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair like a deflated rubber ball, frowning, the fingertips hidden under the cuffs dug into the palms of his hands, and it took a long time to press down.

Anger and hatred welling up in my heart.

When I opened my eyes again, it was as if there was flying frost under my eyes, and it was absolutely freezing.

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped not far outside the door of Yejia Villa. The driver helped Ye Shengxiao open the car door and asked respectfully: "Do you want me to accompany you in?"

"No thanks."

"Then I'll wait for you outside. If you haven't come out after an hour, I'll go in and pick you up. How about that?"

Ye Shengxiao paused as she was about to leave, narrowed her eyes to look at the driver, and suddenly raised her eyebrows: "Is this also his order?"

"Yes, Mr. Xiao asked me to protect your safety." The driver answered solemnly.

"Well, it's up to you." Ye Shengxiao nodded lightly and walked towards the door of the villa alone without picking up her luggage.

After thinking about it, she still bent down and took the information that Xiao Li had given her on the seat.

The doorbell rang three times, but no one answered.

Ye Shengxiao looked at the closed door in front of her. From her position, she could vaguely see the lights coming on inside the villa, and she suddenly laughed angrily.

Someone is at home, but no one opens the door for her. Is this intentional?

She simply gave up ringing the doorbell and called Ye Tingyu directly.

Not surprisingly, the call was hung up.

She pursed her lips, the breath around her body became colder, and she sent a text message to Ye Tingyu.

This time, Ye Tingyu's call came back quickly, but his tone was very bad: "You evil girl, you still have the nerve to come back. You are not welcome in my Ye family, so get out of here!"

"Dad, have you forgotten after all these years that the owner of this place was originally named Tan?" Ye Shengxiao spoke with the same cold tone and sarcasm.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ye Tingyu paused, then scolded angrily.

Ye Shengxiao was too lazy to make excuses with him and said straight to the point: "Dad, all the property in my mother's name was inherited by me after she left. You have been occupying it privately for so many years, so it's time to return it to me."

"You have two choices now. Either let me in now and let's have a good talk, or let's meet in court. Which one do you choose?"

"Are you threatening me?"

"Yes." Ye Shengxiao admitted frankly.

There was silence on the other end of the phone, mixed with a few curses. After a while, the door of the villa opened and the nanny invited Ye Shengxiao in.

The Ye family was having a dinner together, with the three members of the family and the future son-in-law Shen Ting all present. It was originally a joyful scene, but the moment Ye Shengxiao stepped into the house, it became strangely quiet.

Shen Ting and Ye Xiao were still worried about what happened in the hospital a few days ago and were wary of Xiao Li. They just stood aside with ugly expressions and did not exclude or ridicule her as usual.

Ye Tingyu seemed to still be annoyed by Ye Shengxiao's tone on the phone just now. He didn't mean to speak when he knew she came in, and he didn't even glance at her from the corner of his eye.

The atmosphere is stagnant.

Ye Shengxiao, however, seemed to feel no embarrassment at all and walked to the sofa to sit down, presumably waiting for them to finish eating.

But with an uninvited guest like her here, who can eat it?

In the end, Ye Xiao's mother Ning Yue frowned, stood up from the chair, and brought a glass of water over with a cold smile: "Shengxiao is back, unfortunately we are having dinner, please drink a glass of water here and wait for a while.

."

Ye Shengxiao glanced at the water glass in front of her, stretched out her hand to push it away, and said without appreciation: "Sorry, I don't drink the water poured by the mistress."

Ning Yue's body stiffened, her face turned extremely ugly, and she was so angry that her facial features almost became distorted.

Hearing this, Ye Tingyu put down the chopsticks in his hands with a "pop" sound, and reprimanded Ye Shengxiao with a fierce expression: "You are so presumptuous, how can you talk to your elders? You have learned all your upbringing from a dog's belly?!" (
