Ye Chengzhi sat upright and looked at Xia Haitong seriously: "Xiaotong, you must promise me not to reveal even a single word of what I say to you next. Absolutely not!"
Xia Haitong nodded solemnly.
Ye Chengzhi opened his lips lightly, and the first words he said shocked Xia Haitong.
"Actually, my father did not die of natural illness that year. He was killed by his mother."
Obviously, the impact of these words on Xia Haitong was too great. Didn't Ye Zhongzhang die of a sudden illness? How could it be a homicide?!
Seeing that she didn't believe it, Ye Chengzhi repeated this sentence again.
"My father was killed by my mother."
At this time, Xia Haitong came back to his senses and shouted loudly: "You, your father was killed by your mother? This, how is this possible? Are you sure this is true?!"
Ye Chengzhi nodded and said in a non-committal tone: "I'm sure."
"Why? Don't you have any doubt that the murderer is not your mother? Why are you so sure of such a ridiculous thing?!"
"Because I have seen all this with my own ears."
Although Ye Chengzhi's voice was very calm, Xia Haitong could still feel the pain and anger in this calmness.
Ye Chengzhi raised his head slightly and slowly told the past that had been buried in dust for many years.
Fifteen years ago, Ye Chengzhi was eight years old, Ye Chengxuan was ten years old, and Ye Xueying was six years old.
That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, it was a comfortable night.
At midnight, it was calm and peaceful, just like always.
Originally, Ye Chengzhi should have stayed in bed and slept at this time, but at that time he had a nightmare and woke up.
After the nightmare, he couldn't sleep no matter what, so he planned to go downstairs to get a glass of water, but who knew, he saw Wang Defang pouring water there, with a knowing smile on his lips.
Ye Chengzhi wanted to go up and say hello to Wang Defang, but at that time she seemed to be intoxicated in her own world, and left in a hurry after pouring the water. Ye Chengzhi didn't think too much, thinking about going back to sleep after drinking the water, but
After returning to the room, he tossed and turned, but still couldn't fall asleep.
It was not until dawn that he reluctantly fell asleep. But at this moment, Wang Defang suddenly screamed, and everyone was awakened and rushed to the master room.
At that time, Wang Defang cried and knelt beside Ye Zhongzhang, saying that Ye Zhongzhang had passed away!!
At that time, no one believed this was true. How could a good person die just because he wanted to?
But after the housekeeper confirmed that this was true, everyone was stunned. Then crying and shouting filled the room, and the scene became chaotic.
At that time, the three children were standing together. Ye Xueying seemed not to understand what the word "death" meant, and just looked at the adults' every move blankly.
Ye Chengxuan, on the other hand, looked at Ye Zhongzhang's body extremely calmly, but the chill emanating from his body was something that Ye Chengzhi still cannot forget.
As for Ye Chengzhi, although he didn't know that Ye Zhongzhang was his biological father at that time, because he always thought that his biological father had died long before he was born, to him, Ye Zhongzhang was like a biological father.
.
Later, the police took Ye Zhongzhang's body back to the police station. After forensic examination, it was determined that he died suddenly because of his long-term use of tranquillizers, which led to shallow breathing and aggravated hypoxia.
Wang Defang said that he had no knowledge of Ye Zhongzhang's taking of diazepam, and naturally no one else in the Ye family knew either. Later, the police found a safe in the master room and found that the diazepam was in it, along with a receipt from the doctor who prescribed the drug.
The police confirmed to the doctor that Ye Zhongzhang came to buy the tranquilizer in person, and he could prove that no one else in the Ye family knew about it.
At that time, because Wang Defang strongly demanded that Ye Zhongzhang's body be buried as soon as possible, and the police believed that Ye Zhongzhang's death was an accident, the case was hastily closed.
Externally, considering that Ye Zhongzhang wanted to conceal the fact that he needed tranquillizers to sleep during his lifetime, Wang Defang asked the police to preserve his privacy and said that Ye Zhongzhang died of a sudden illness.
Until this time, Ye Chengzhi had never doubted Wang Defang, until Wang Defang was appointed in critical situation and became the CEO of Ye Group.
That night, Ye Chengzhi couldn't sleep because he missed his father.
He felt that although his mother didn't say anything on the surface, she must miss his father very much, right?
He was worried that his mother would be lonely, so he planned to accompany her. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the room, he saw Ye Chengxuan's retreating figure.
Then he went to the master room, knocked on the door but no one answered, but it was unlocked, so he opened the door and locked it in.
As soon as he entered the door, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol. He saw Wang Defang drunk on the bed. Ye Chengzhi walked to the bed worriedly, and that's how he discovered that his father was killed by his mother.
From her mouth, Ye Chengzhi learned that his father killed Ye Chengxuan's mother in order to marry her. He also knew that his mother did not marry Ye Zhongzhang out of love, but just to take everything he had.
It turned out that the love between her father and mother was just an act. In the past three years, she had been thinking about how to kill Ye Zhongzhang, and even Ye Chengxuan and Ye Xueying.
She said that only her son could inherit everything from the Ye family.
When Ye Chengzhi heard this, he was very scared. He immediately ran out of the master room and did not dare to think about anything. He could not accept this fact, and he could not accept that the gentle and loving mother turned out to be a cold-blooded murderer.
Only then did he think of his mother's smile as she held the water glass the night before his father died.
Once, he thought about reporting her, but he couldn't do it. He couldn't bring a mother who loved him deeply to court. Since then, Ye Chengzhi felt guilty about Ye Chengxuan and Ye Xueying, and tried every means to make amends with them.
Xia Haitong asked Ye Chengzhi, did Ye Xueying know about this?
Ye Chengzhi said that Ye Xueying should not know anything, and because Ye Xueying was too young when Zhuang Yuehua died, he thought that Ye Xueying had no feelings for her. Perhaps in her heart, she had long regarded Wang Defang as her biological mother.
Xia Haitong asked, when you later found out that Ye Zhongzhang was your biological father, how did you face this fact?
Ye Chengzhi was silent for a while, and he said that until now, he cannot accept this fact.
After listening to Ye Chengzhi's words, Xia Haitong finally understood how naive he had been before.
It turns out that at the beginning, Ye Chengxuan really treated Ye Chengzhi as a brother. It turned out that the gap between him and Wang Defang was a blood feud.
It turns out that Ye Chengxuan faced the danger of being killed when he was a child. From an early age, he had to learn to survive in a place of intrigue and intrigue.
Ye Chengxuan, who kept calling his enemy his mother, could only watch his beloved sister treat his enemy as his mother, but could not say anything.
Even though he knew nothing, he said some beautiful words and used the so-called justice to teach him a lesson. He was just talking nonsense like an idiot.
All this time, he has been carrying all this silently, slowly disguising himself and becoming a playboy in the eyes of the world. But who would have thought that such a deep pain was hidden under his frivolous smile.
?
The scenes of getting along with Ye Chengxuan in the past appeared one after another in front of Xia Haitong. He was indifferent and regarded human life as nothing. He was arrogant and rude, always treating himself as an ancient emperor and asking people to bow to him. He
He was cruel and ruthless, torturing her again and again, causing her to collapse several times.
However, he is also gentle and will greet her and save her from the fire and water.
Since when did everything about him arouse her curiosity, and since when did the relationship between the two gradually get closer?
However, when she wanted to get to know him better, he always shut her out and refused to let her step into his world.
He said, don't think you know me very well. He said that I, Ye Chengxuan, am a devil, what you call a pervert. Don't measure me with ordinary people's eyes.
He also said: Don't have mercy on me.
I don't know why, but when she thought of this, Xia Haitong's heart ached a little. She wanted to help Ye Chengxuan share some of the burden, even just a little.
"Xiaotong, are you okay?"
Ye Chengzhi's voice brought Xia Haitong back to her senses. She looked at Ye Chengzhi solemnly and said, "Chengzhi, I think your mother and Ye Chengxuan will definitely fight to the death about the contract renewal. Now the deadline is approaching.
What are you going to do?"
Ye Chengzhi was silent for a while and said: "I have been thinking about this for a long time. I used to always think of a solution that would get the best of both worlds, but for some things, you must pay a price."
Xia Haitong was surprised: "Chengzhi, what do you want?!"
Ye Chengzhi sighed and said: "I don't care about reputation and rights. The reason why I became Ye's CEO is just for my mother. But now, I think it's time to resign."
Xia Haitong's eyes widened: "Chengzhi, have you thought about it? But if you do this, will your mother be mad to death..."
"Mom will definitely be very angry, but they have been fighting for more than ten years, and I really don't want this fight to continue." Ye Chengzhi shook his head and said, "And after all, the person who is wrong is my mother. I think
There is nothing wrong with leaving the Ye family to my eldest brother again."
Xia Haitong looked at Ye Chengzhi and said regretfully: "How great would it be if Ye Chengxuan knew your painstaking efforts?"
Until now, she still can't understand Wang Defang's behavior. Although she knew that Wang Defang was a cruel person, she never expected that this woman would kill her husband. What on earth was she thinking?!
Although Ye Zhongzhang is a bad man who is greedy for the new and forgets the old, he is also very affectionate and loyal to Wang Defang. He killed his ex-wife for Wang Defang! Does she really have no compassion at all?!
Although Ye Chengxuan and Ye Xueying are not her biological children, she killed their mother after all. Wouldn't she feel guilty? She didn't even want to let such a small child go. Is this justified?
Xia Haitong wanted to know if Wang Defang would be scared if she found out that her son knew everything she had done. When she listened to Ye Xueying calling her sincerely to be a mother, would her heart feel the slightest bit?
Guilt? When the night is quiet, will she feel empty and lonely? Will Ye Zhongzhang's soul come back to her in her midnight dream and ask for her life?
