"Master Abbot?"
Seeing him standing there motionless, Zhouzhou waved her little hand in front of his eyes, her round eyes full of concern. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Yi Yun snapped back to reality, calmly glancing at Qin Lie. His gaze wandered between the three of them before finally landing on the tablet above. In an instant, he understood why Qin Lie had suddenly approached him last ti and asked him to tell Ye Lingfeng not to pay respects to that child's tablet.
And why Zhouzhou had been struck by lightning.
So that was the reason.
Ye Lingfeng turned out to be Zhouzhou's biological father!
No wonder.
Understanding this in his heart, Yi Yun didn't show any expression on his face. He took a small step back, allowing Ye Lingfeng to place the cake in front of An Ya's tablet, and stood silently by the side.
However, Qin Lie seed to sense sothing and glanced at Yi Yun out of the corner of his eye, his lips slightly pursed.
Unaware of the silent conflict between them, Zhouzhou looked at the tablet and earnestly said, "Auntie, today is my birthday. My dad bought this cake for . It's delicious. You should try so..."
The little girl knelt on the ground, speaking softly to the tablet, oblivious to the fact that the person she was talking to was her biological mother.
Watching this scene, Qin Lie suddenly felt a pang of sadness and couldn't help but wonder if he had made a mistake by hiding the truth from Zhouzhou. Should he have told her?
He wavered in his heart, struggling with his decision.
Just as he was contemplating, another incense stick suddenly appeared in front of him. Surprised, he looked up and t Yi Yun's gaze, a pair of eyes that seed to see through everything. However, it didn't make him feel uncomfortable. Instead, it carried a sense of tranquility. Yi Yun smiled and said, "Mr Qin, why don't you offer incense as well?"
Pausing for a mont, Qin Lie looked at him for three seconds, hesitated for a mont, then respectfully took the incense stick, walked to the tablet, and bowed three tis. He didn't know if what he was doing was right, but he would definitely take care of Zhouzhou. If one day she wanted to acknowledge Ye Lingfeng as her father, he wouldn't stand in her way.
And if there was any danger, he would do everything to protect her.
With these thoughts in mind, he inserted the incense stick into the incense burner, and the haze in his heart slowly dissipated. Everything should follow its natural course.
He didn't notice that at the mont he placed the incense stick, a trace of rit light invisibly fell into his fingertips.
While Zhouzhou was still speaking, unaware of what had just happened, Yi Yun, who was standing beside her, saw it and his smile deepened.
After offering incense, Zhouzhou looked at Ye Lingfeng and huffed, ultimately handing him the remaining cake. "Here, this is for you, on Auntie's behalf."
As she spoke, she glared at him, her voice sweet and threatening. "Sharp Tongue Uncle, if you call Little Toad again, I'll bite you."
The little girl said it with all seriousness, and Ye Lingfeng couldn't help but want to tease her again.
He raised an eyebrow and jokingly crossed his arms, leaning against a tree. He said in a teasing tone, "But don't you love toads the most? If I call you a few more tis, maybe it'll bring you good luck."
"That's! A! Frog!" Zhouzhou clenched her little fist, making an "Ah!" sound, and waved it at him.
Being prepared, Ye Lingfeng quickly ran away.
Zhouzhou chased after him from behind, and the two played around like a big and small child, acting childish.
Qin Lie watched this scene and subconsciously turned his head to look at An Ya's tablet.
Noticing his gaze, Yi Yun smiled and said, "Everything is predestined. Qin Lie, there's no need to trouble yourself."
After speaking, he clasped his hands together, recited a Buddhist verse, and then left.
Murmuring the word "predestined," Qin Lie's face showed rare confusion. Just as he was thinking about it, he was suddenly attracted by Zhouzhou's voice.
He saw Zhouzhou running over in tears, holding onto his leg, and pouting as she complained, "Dad, Sharp Tongue Uncle bullied ."
Qin Lie glanced at Ye Lingfeng and then picked up the little girl, patting off the snow on her, and softly comforting her, "Good girl, don't be angry."
"Mm!" Zhouzhou imdiately smiled again. She hugged his neck with one hand, turned her head back, and made a funny face at Ye Lingfeng. With her little face buried in Qin Lie's neck, she urged, "Dad, run faster!"
Qin Lie smiled and played along, running away as she requested.
The sound of their childish laughter echoed in the air.
Watching this scene, Ye Lingfeng thought to himself, "Childish," but he still pretended to chase after them. Zhouzhou's chubby legs kicked even more happily, urging, "Dad, run faster!"
After playing around for a while, when they were leaving the mountain, Zhouzhou had already fallen asleep in Qin Lie's arms.
They put the little girl in the back seat, covered her tightly with a small blanket from the car, turned on the warm air, and the temperature inside the car instantly beca warm.
Ye Lingfeng watched this and couldn't help but marvel at how much Qin Lie had beco like a doting father.
Tsk.
The two glanced at each other, then quickly averted their gazes, getting into their cars one after the other and driving away.
After sending Zhouzhou back to her room to sleep, the Ancestral Master erged from the statue, crossed his legs, and floated in the air. He muttered, "Well, don't bla . I can't appear in the Buddhist sect. My illusionary technique is useless there. The monk saw through it, and I didn't expect that."
He had thought that Qin Lie would take the opportunity to take advantage of him, and he was prepared to lose a little. However, he didn't expect Qin Lie to shake his head and say, "It's fine."
Huh? He's so easy to talk to?
He couldn't possibly go over and ask why he didn't take advantage of him. That would be offering himself up on a platter.
He wasn't stupid.
Having escaped a disaster, the Ancestral Master happily floated back into the statue. But then he rembered sothing and erged again, placing a notebook on the bedside table. He looked at Zhouzhou on the bed and softly said, "Happy birthday," before returning inside.
In the study, Qin Lie looked at the docunts in his hand, lightly tapping the tabletop with his fingertips. Tomorrow would be the seventh day, the day of the Ye Family's board eting.
He knew it would be a bloody battle.
After contemplating for a mont, he made a phone call.
"Cancel tomorrow's eting."
He wanted to ensure that nothing would go wrong on Ye Lingfeng's side.
Those who had bullied Zhouzhou's mother would not be spared by him either.
After finishing the call, he hung up. At the sa ti, the Ye Family next door was doing the sa.
The lights in Ye Lingfeng's study were on all night long. Leaning back in his chair, he asked, "Is everything ready?"
Chen Tuo nodded; his expression sowhat excited. "Everything is ready, boss. You can rest assured. Today, we must make the mbers of the Ye Family and the Duan Family sleep on the streets."
"Good." Ye Lingfeng nodded slightly. "And their accounts, have they been frozen?"
"Yes, frozen. Wan Leng took care of it. Whether they transferred the funds to relatives or to fake accounts, everything has been frozen. From now on, they won't be able to get a single cent."
"Good." Ye Lingfeng stood up, looked at the brightening sky outside, adjusted his collar, his eyes filled with a chilling bloodthirst. "We should also set off. Don't keep them waiting."
He had been impatiently waiting, unable to wait even a second longer.
Yaya, watch from above and see how they all fall from heaven to hell, one by one!
