As if on cue, Ye Nanshen arrived just then. Looking at the table full of dishes, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He had never known Rong Qi to be such a good cook.
Rong Qi was still busy in the kitchen and said, “Here it comes, the last dish, the fish is ready!”
Rong Qi placed the last dish on the table and sat down next to Ye Nanshen.
The group began to eat happily.
In the middle of the meal, Rong Qi seemed to remember something but then seemed to forget again.
Sheng Jian and Gu Ziye were thoroughly enjoying the feast, eating with great pleasure.
Sheng Jian commented, “Little Qi, your cooking skills surpass your mom’s. Not bad at all.”
Rong Qi glanced at Sheng Jian and said, “I just learned it. You guys are the first to try it.”
Rong Qi only had the fish and not the seafood due to her pregnancy.
Ye Nanshen picked out the fish bones for Rong Qi and placed them in her bowl.
Aside from the fish, all the other dishes were spicy and delicious.
Suddenly, during their enjoyable meal, a figure appeared at the entrance of the restaurant.
Gu Ziye, with a lobster claw in his mouth, turned back to see the grim face of Old Master Ye and was so startled that he almost spat out the lobster claw.
Gu Ziye looked at Ye Nanshen and Rong Qi, signaling with his eyes, ‘Isn’t Old Master Ye supposed to have left? Why is he still upstairs?’
Rong Qi shrugged, ‘I don’t know.’
Ye Nanshen shrugged as well, ‘What does it have to do with me?’
Gu Ziye, seeing Old Master Ye’s ashen face, silently gave the two of them a thumbs-up, ‘You both have guts.’
Old Master Ye looked at the table full of delicacies, upset that no one had called him over. He snorted coldly, and his expression spoke volumes.
Gu Ziye quickly stood up, wiped his hands, and moved a chair over. He said, “Sir, come and sit with us. Why haven’t you left yet?”
Old Master Ye glared at Gu Ziye and said, “Obviously, you all just want me to leave. I see that someone else doesn’t seem too happy about my presence. I better not dampen the mood.”
After saying that, Old Master Ye turned to leave.
‘He’s leaving just like that?’ Gu Ziye pondered.
However, as Old Master Ye turned around, he suddenly looked back at Rong Qi, who was eating fish, and said, “You, come out with me for a moment.”
“Yes, sir.”
Rong Qi put down her chopsticks, ready to get up, but Ye Nanshen reached out to stop her. A hint of coldness crossed Ye Nanshen’s eyes, and the atmosphere around him dropped sharply.
Rong Qi held his hand and said, “Pick out the fishbones for me, I’ll come back to eat later.”
Ye Nanshen’s grip loosened, his eyes filled with indistinct emotions.
Rong Qi removed Ye Nanshen’s hand and stood up to follow Old Master Ye.
Ye Nanshen’s gaze followed Rong Qi until she disappeared from sight. The emotions in his eyes flickered between light and shadow.
Sheng Jian observed Ye Nanshen and was deep in thought, ‘Old Master Ye’s intrusion only intensified Ye Nanshen’s obstinacy.’
What Ye Nanshen previously let go of, he now openly snatched back from Ye Shaochen’s hands, and those collaborations that were well-agreed upon with the Ye Group were also taken away. The stock price plummeted, but the Ye family could only watch helplessly, unable to match Ye Nanshen.
Ye Shaochen smashed his office twice in frustration.
It was a warning as well as a challenge. No matter who it was, anyone who dared to have the thought of harming Rong Qi, Ye Nanshen would let them know what a living hell meant.
The IM Design Competition was approaching, and if things continued like this, the Ye Group wouldn’t even be able to participate without being dragged down.
Thus, Ye Shaochen had to swallow his pride and send someone to sue for peace, expressing willingness to compete fairly and not let Old Master Ye interfere.
Ye Nanshen just sneered, the irony in his heart deepening.
Rong Qi had pretty much guessed Old Master Ye and Ye Nanshen’s conversation and Old Master Ye also pressured her to persuade Ye Nanshen to back down. But that was impossible.
Using Rong Qi to threaten Ye Nanshen was like breaking the peace and quiet in the Ye family..
