Chapter 16

His Scheme

“Tsk, it’s just you and me now. There’s nothing to be afraid of!” Compared to the cautious Ye Shen, Li Zhaohui seemed much more casual. “Do I even have to be secretive when talking to you in my own house?”

“Anyway, it’s better to be safe than sorry.” Ye Shen was reticent. “You should know very well that if Ye Leng’an senses something, then everything we have now may disappear in an instant.”

“It’s not as bad as you said!” Li Zhaohui didn’t care about it at all. “It’s been a long time since they contacted you. Why are you still afraid? Also, everything we have now is the result of our hard work over the years. It has nothing to do with anyone else.”

“Alright, enough.” He scolded, “Don’t mention that family in the future, especially in front of Ye Leng’an. There are some things you shouldn’t say. Just keep quiet.”

“Fine.” Although reluctant, Li Zhaohui didn’t dare to go against Ye Shen. But she was still a little confused. “I thought you didn’t want to get too close to Ye Leng’an! Why did you suddenly want to continue interacting with her and even plan to bring Pingping to see her?”

“Didn’t you hear what she said just now?” He glanced at her with a calculating look. “She has a small house under her name! She has lived in that Ye family for so many years. Unlike us, they are rich. Ye Leng’an has been the daughter of that Ye family for so long. Although she left now, she must have taken a lot of things with her. Apart from anything else, that house is worth a lot!”

This was the capital, and even a small house cost a lot. And Ye Leng’an definitely had many other good things.

“Are you thinking about…” Li Zhaohui immediately understood what Ye Shen was planning. “She’s still underage. As her biological parents, it’s only right and proper for us to keep the property for her.”

She got excited at this thought.

“That’s right. But we can’t be too hasty now.” He warned, “We can’t let her be wary of us. Otherwise, we won’t get anything.”

“Why?” She thought that it was too troublesome. “We’re her parents. How can she, an underage girl, keep such an important property on her own?”

“I’m not worried about her. I’m worried about that Ye family.” He frowned at her short-sightedness. “She had been raised by them for more than ten years. Although she left them, are you sure that they don’t care about her at all? If she gets irritated and becomes rebellious and turns to them for help, then we’ll shoot ourselves in the foot.”

“But she’s not their daughter anymore.” Li Zhaohui sounded a little hesitant. “They probably won’t care about her anymore, right? Besides, Xiyuan returns to that family now. they should make it up to Xiyuan!”

“If they really didn’t care about Ye Leng’an anymore, how did she get that property?” He said angrily, “You are really too shallow! Ye Leng’an just left them, so they must still have feelings for her in such a short time. But, this is an opportunity for us. Her leaving that family means she longs for kinship. Therefore, we should show our love for her and make her offer the property to us.”
