Chapter 323, Is it Good to Go Home with Uncle? (Part Five)

"No, no, you can’t..." Master Ye howled hysterically.

Unfortunately, it was too late to turn the tide.

Ye Jiuliang tore up the stack of papers in just a few moves.

Master Ye’s face went white, and he stumbled.

Luckily, Aren moved quickly to support him; otherwise, he would have taken a fall.

"Master."

"Ye Jiuliang, you unfilial thing!" Master Ye sat back down on the sofa, breathing unevenly, and pointed at Ye Jiuliang as he cursed.

"How are you feeling now? My anger just now was a hundred, a thousand times greater than yours," Ye Jiuliang walked slowly to him, and spoke deliberately and icily, "From now on, if you destroy anything I value again, the next time, I will completely destroy what you hold most dear—the Ye Family."

She paused, then added, word by word, with a heart-piercing conviction, "The power of the Ye Family, the reputation of the Ye Family, the wealth of the Ye Family, everything the Ye Family has—as long as it’s something you value, I will destroy it one by one."

Facing her earnest eyes, Master Ye struggled for a long time, only managing to squeeze out two words, "You dare?"

"Whether I dare or not, didn’t you just see for yourself?" Ye Jiuliang casually tossed the sketchbook onto the table.

The cover was blue, like the deep azure sea.

"Master Ye, I’d heard you were a man of great virtue and reputation. Seeing it with my own eyes today, I must say it has been quite revealing," Mingchong, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.

"No matter what Jiuliang did, throwing a vase just now was a bit too much of a loss of composure."

"Director Ming, this is the Ye Family’s internal affair. Please don’t interfere and refrain from making unwarranted comments," Xiang Zhen said with full confidence.

"That’s right, this is your Ye Family affair," Mingchong glanced at Ye Jiuliang and retorted strongly, "My niece was almost hurt. Do you expect me to turn a blind eye and pretend nothing happened?"

After these words, the surroundings fell silent.

Niece?

Did he mean that Ye Jiuliang was his niece?

Ye Jiuliang looked at Mingchong with a puzzled expression, her eyes full of confusion.

"Director Ming, could there be some mistake? Lan Ning doesn’t have any siblings, she..."

Ye Yu suddenly paused mid-sentence, realizing something. Lan Ning had been adopted—could she actually be related to Mingchong?

"Our family fell on hard times back then, and my sister was abducted. Only later was she adopted by another family. I am Jiuliang’s uncle. If you don’t believe me, we can do a paternity test," Mingchong’s gaze rested on Ye Jiuliang as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions varied. Ye Jiuliang suddenly had an uncle, and it was someone with no small influence.

How did she come upon such dumb luck?

"Jiuliang, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to keep this from you. I was afraid that you wouldn’t acknowledge me, so I..." Mingchong approached Ye Jiuliang, his expression tense with nervousness.

"Jiuliang, your mother is no longer with us. Uncle will take good care of you in her stead. I had no idea the Ye Family treated you this way. From now on, Uncle will protect you, is that alright?"

Ye Jiuliang gazed at the person in front of her, her mind a blank.

It felt odd to suddenly have a relative.

He was her uncle?

Was that why she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity the first time she saw him?

Seeing her silent, Mingchong reached out towards her head, his well-defined hand gently resting on her head.

"Jiuliang, would you like to come home with your uncle, to the Ming Family?"

As for the Ye Family, with all its heart-wrenching scheming, it was best left behind.

Ye Jiuliang was silent, turning her head to look at Li Mochan, whose expression was calm, as if he had known about this in advance.

Li Mochan nodded lightly at her; only then did Ye Jiuliang believe that Mingchong was indeed her uncle.

She turned her gaze back to the person standing in front of her, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

"Uncle."
