Ye Xinyi finally couldn't help but cry. The strong woman also had a fragile side. She had always kept her feelings to herself. She finally revealed them.
In the past, she never dared to reveal her feelings due to Ye Bancheng's prestige. Hence, when Ye Bancheng became ill, she started to reveal her feelings. In her opinion, her father was currently like an ordinary old man. Hence, she revealed her feelings. She became extremely emotional.
Although Ye Bancheng became ill, his mind was indeed sober. When he saw Ye Xinyi cry so badly, he recalled the past. Perhaps, due to his current state, he became soft-hearted and started to blame himself. He sighed softly and said, "Xin...Yi. Do you blame... Father?"
"Yes. I blame you. I even hate you." Ye Xinyi wiped her tears ferociously, but her tears were flowing down ceaselessly, "Why didn't you care about me? Am I not your daughter?"
Ye Bancheng appeared somewhat in pain. He sighed and said, "Maybe, maybe I didn't care about your feelings... Xin... Yi... Actually, actually, you are as good as them."
Ye Xinyi was crying while laughing at the same time. She said, "Father, don't comfort me. Upon hearing this..., I am so, I am so happy. Father, you know what, I have been looking forward to hearing a word of compliment from you for many years. If I can receive a word of compliment from you, I can forsake everything. I will give in to them. I will give Xiaoxi all my toys. If you want me to assist Ye Tianming, I will assist him."
"There is no big deal."
"But I need your recognition."
Ye Bancheng felt regretful. There was a hint of self-reproach in his blurry gaze. He sighed. "Xin, Xinyi, Father, Father neglected you. I will compensate... you in my next life. Don't fight with your brother... assist him... Ye Family will continue to be strong."
Ye Xinyi's expression changed. She wiped her tears away and stood up calmly. She said blandly, "Father, I should go back."
Ye Bancheng struggled to get up and the electrocardiogram began to fluctuate drastically. At this time, Liu Piaopiao entered. Upon seeing this situation, she rushed over. Ye Xinyi appeared cold and confident, just like a strong woman and stepped out.
"Bancheng, Bancheng... What did Big Missy say to make you so angry?"
After Ye Bancheng gasped for his breath, he calmed down. He shook his head and did not answer Liu Piaopiao directly. He said in self-reproach, "This... These days... I realise... I used to be, I used to be a bad father."
Liu Piaopiao said, "Don't say this. You are a man of Ye Family. You are the pillar of the whole Ye Family... You have too many things to worry about."
Although Liu Piaopiao was persuading him, Ye Bancheng was still blaming himself. At this time, Ye Tianming entered. Upon seeing Ye Tianming, Liu Piaopiao immediately said, "Tianming, you are here. You elder sister just came and talked to your dad for a while. Your dad seems to be still angry."
"Oh." Ye Tianming was indifferent towards Liu Piaopiao. He was respectful when he walked towards and faced Ye Bancheng. Even if Ye Bancheng was already lying in the hospital, he still behaved himself.
"Father."
Ye Bancheng said with difficulty, "You are... here."
Ye Bancheng now had a hard time speaking. He drooled when he spoke.
Ye Tianming said, "I will like to discuss something with Father."
"Okay."
Ye Tianming said with a serious tone, "Let my elder sister be the chairwoman."
After listening to Ye Tianming, Ye Bancheng looked surprised. He seemed angry. He said unclearly, "What... do... you... mean?"
He sighed and looked depressed. He said, "I don't want the Ye Family to be torn apart. I hope that Ye Family does not collapse. This is the most important thing."
"What, what did you hear?"
"Hmm." Ye Tianming hesitated and seemed sad. "I visited Xiao Bing just now. He told me some stuff..."
"... say."
Xiao Bing and Ye Tianming had much to talk about. After Ye Tianming left, he immediately called Master Hou. He needed to solve the situation urgently. North Heaven Queen was already dead. If he couldn't placate Master Hou temporarily, it would be disastrous.
After picking up the call, Master Hou sounded angry. He said, "Xiao Bing, Mr. Xiao, thanks for the call. Please speak your mind!"
Xiao Bing expected that Master Hou would be angry. He was surprised that Master Hou could talk to him so calmly. It could be seen that Master Hou was very shrewd. If it were others, they would be furious. After all, Xiao Bing had killed the North Heaven Queen. On the one hand, he embarrassed Master Hou. On the other hand, he killed Master Hou's right-hand man.
Master Hou earned his current prestige through the help of his right-hand men. They were the Four Heavenly King. Now that one of the Four Heavenly King had been killed, how could anyone not be angry?
Xiao Bing deliberately spoke in a very weak tone. He said in fear and trepidation, "Master Hou, I spoke to you a few days ago. I hope you can mediate... Unfortunately, North Heaven Queen wants to kill me. Initially, I didn't think of killing North Heaven Queen, but this time she..."
"Haiz, the North Heaven Queen had set a trap for me this time. She had set a honey trap to kill me. After failing, she kidnapped my woman and even sent many masters to ambush and kill me... This time I barely escape death... cough, cough...."
"I just passed the critical stage. After waking up, I immediately called Master Hou. The North Heaven Queen is your best warrior. I had accidentally killed her. I wondered what Master Hou would do."
Master Hou became silent. Xiao Bing had a simple reason. He had the right of self-defense and was the weaker party. This meant that he, Xiao Bing didn't dare to touch any Master Hou's men. Unless he was forced, the North Heaven Queen wouldn't have died.
Master Hou sounded less angry but his tone was still rather deep. He said, "Xiao Bing... out of all the masters in Northern Manor, you "accidentally" killed one of my four aces and escaped unscathed. Peony had underestimated you!"
Master Hou was doubtful and being sarcastic. Northern Manors had so many masters. How could he accidentally kill any of them without a plan?
Xiao Bing smiled bitterly and said, "I'm telling the truth. If Master Hou doesn't believe me, you can ask the witnesses in Northern Manor."
Master Hou suddenly said coldly, "As Peony is not around, no one is guarding the northern region. Are you interested to take up the position?"
After saying those words, Xiao Bing was surprised. Under normal circumstances, Master Hou would already find someone to kill Xiao Bing. Why would he get Xiao Bing to guard the three districts in the northern region?
However, Xiao Bing became stone-hearted. Master Hou was very unpredictable. Instead of blaming his enemies, he recruited them. No wonder he had so many masters. Regardless of how shrewd a person was, he couldn't tolerate having to lose face or his interests. From the perspective of killing the Peony Fairy, Master Hou did not deal with Xiao Bing immediately. He felt that Xiao Bing was of some use to him. Hence, he wanted to recruit Xiao Bing.
Master Hou seemed generous. He was admirable. However, deep down inside, he was extremely cold-blooded. The Peony Fairy was one of his aces and was guarding the three districts. Now that she had died, he was not interested in taking revenge. Instead, he was thinking of ways to make up for the loss after the death of North Heaven Queen. This person was extremely shrewd and cold-blooded.
Could such a person accept his sudden refusal?
Xiao Bing hesitated. He then smiled bitterly and said, "Master Hou, you are throwing me in at the deep end..."
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Bing smiled bitterly and said, "I am just an ordinary cook. Although Northern Manor wants ambitious people, I have just killed the owner of Northern Manor. If I take over her position, will your subordinates be convinced? Will the people in Northern Manor be convinced? Although you have the say, they will not come at me openly, but secretly... I am afraid that all underground forces in Jiang City will treat me as a thorn in one's side and want to kill me. Furthermore, after taking over Northern Manor, your subordinates will always be thinking of ways to avenge the Peony Fairy. Haha... No matter how capable I am, will I be alive?"
After listening to Xiao Bing, Master Hou became silent. His will to killing Xiao Bing had decreased. From the perspective of Xiao Bing, Xiao Bing was ambitious, but he thought too much. Master Hou thought for a while and felt that Xiao Bing's words made some sense. If he took over the Peony Fairy, his subordinates wouldn't be convinced. He would lose the hearts of his people and it would be difficult for him to command his team. It was not worth the effort.
But if he let Xiao Bing go in such manner, he would feel indignant.
He had to choose whether to kill or recruit Xiao Bing.
Master Hou wanted to be more than just an underground boss of Jiang City. He thought about the real enemy that he would have to face in the future. Master Hou had made a decision and said coldly, "Well then, you should rest well. After you are discharged, I will give you a chance to prove yourself. I will reward you based on your achievements. You will take charge of the northern region!"
Ye Xinyi finally couldn't help but cry. The strong woman also had a fragile side. She had always kept her feelings to herself. She finally revealed them.
