Ferocious Boss: Hubby, Let’s Get Married - Chapter 785

Chapter 785: I Would Strangle Him and Save Face

“I could have strangled him right there and then, the day your son spoke those stupid words. I have nothing to do with his death wish. Besides, if it were my son who did something as shameless as that… Hmph…” You Yi harrumphed coldly. “The police aren’t even needed—I would strangle him straightaway. At least I’d save my entire family from losing face.”

Yan Qingsi gulped. You Yi’s words were absolutely venomous.

If this old man Ye could still manage to control himself after that, he practically was not human. He was probably a sage!

Ye Jiangong could not hold it in any longer. “Watch your words, You Yi,” he snapped. “This is Luo City…”

You Yi suddenly smiled. “You are right that this is Luo City. And that’s why your son is still alive!”

Ye Jiangong froze immediately.

You Yi had meant that his son would have died long ago if he was in Hai City.

Yan Qingsi and the rest were practically useless now that You Yi was around. They all hung around at the back; all they needed was a small bench and some popcorn so they could enjoy the show.

It was at Ye Jiangong’s most embarrassing, most torturous moment when Helan Fangnian’s father walked over. “I didn’t know that you were here, Mr. Ye,” he said. “My apologies for not greeting you sooner…”

Ye Jiangong released a long breath. If Mr. Helan had not shown up, he feared that he would truly lose control and get into an argument with You Yi. You Yi was not fearsome on his own, but he had the backing of the entire You family behind him. It would be terrible to offend the You family.

“You’re too kind, Mr. Helan. We did contribute to some part of this dinner,” Ye Jiangong said, looking at Mr. Helan. “Besides, we’re all people of Luo City. It’s nothing for me to come around.”

“Spoken like one who is kind and wise, Mr. Ye,” Mr. Helan said.

Mr. Helan turned to Mrs. Yue. “Mrs. Yue, Tingfeng, you’re here as well. I was just giving Suya a good scolding,” he said. “She single-handedly wrecked the relationship between the Helans and the Yues that we’ve had for years. She does nothing at home, and yet she goes about and stirs up drama. She’s only got her looks but no brains. Mrs. Yue, please don’t hold a grudge against her. I apologize to you in her stead. One day, I’ll bring the entire family to visit you.”

Mrs. Yue chuckled. “No need for that. I wouldn’t be able to stand it. Maybe the relationship between our families wasn’t that great after all. It’s probably for the best. Your wife also doesn’t need to pretend that she likes me anymore. Not only did she turn her back against me”, but she also stabbed me in the back, you know?”

Mr. Helan immediately felt embarrassed. “I apologize. I sincerely apologize,” he said quickly. “I’ll give her a good scolding later. I’ll do whatever you say, so long as it appeases you.”

Yue Tingfeng took Mrs. Yue by the arm. “There’s no need for that, Mr. Helan,” he said. “She’s pretty happy now that she can see through your wife’s character. Besides, we won’t have to face monsters from now on. Who knows if we would even be aware if our souls were sold to the devil?”

“Tingfeng, please. Our families have known each other so well for many years. Surely you won’t let everything go to waste just like that?”

“Our families have known each other so well for so many years? It’s because of the relationship between Helan Fangnian and I. It’s got nothing to do with inter-familial relations,” Yue Tingfeng said lightly. “It’d be great if it were that easy.”

They had already spoken to this point. Even if Mr. Helan wanted to maintain cordial relations with the Yue family, there was no way around the issue.

Mr. Helan looked at You Yi. He was also someone who had encountered plenty of people in the world, and he could read them well. The second he laid his eyes on the person he could tell what kind of a character they were and drew a rough profile of them.

Mr. Helan felt that You Yi was unusual the moment he laid his eyes on him. He was of a different cut from most people. “I don’t think you’ve introduced yourself, sir,” he said quickly.
