Chapter 11: Second Master Jiang

Ye Wenbo frowned.

Could he really imagine Gu Fenyi hiding and crying by herself after seeing Lu Meng? This image didn't match the Gu Fenyi he knew.

The old Gu Fenyi never cried.

The current Gu Fenyi didn't even know how.

If Lu Meng had angered her, Gu Fenyi would more likely hunt her down and break her into pieces rather than feel sorry for herself.

Just then, the phone in the living room rang.

The maid answered it quickly.

Soon, the maid's face paled. She carefully held the receiver and handed it to Ye Wenbo. "Fourth Master, it's Mr. Jiang."

"Which Mr. Jiang?"

"Jiang Jing's second brother."

Ye Wenbo thought, "Jiang Jing actually told his parents?"

He took the phone coldly. "Hello."

"Fourth Young Master Ye?" A cold voice came from the other end. "Please put Mrs. Ye on the phone."

Ye Wenbo gripped the receiver tightly. He had started the fight with Jiang Jing, causing all this trouble. How could he ask Gu Fenyi to clean up his mess?

His pride wouldn't allow it.

Ye Wenbo gripped the receiver tighter and pressed down his anger. "Are you looking for her? If this is about Jiang Jing, you can talk to me."

Jiang Er replied mercilessly, "You can't make decisions here."

"Jiang Jing talked trash about my elder brother, so I fought him. Is he crippled? Or is he in the ICU? Is that why you're rushing here to vent your anger?" Ye Wenbo taunted, trying to shift the blame.

"Fourth Master Ye!" Jiang Er shouted from the other end.

Gu Fenyi walked downstairs, having heard the entire conversation.

She thought Ye Wenbo was still too young to handle troubles independently.

She reached out her hand. "Give me the phone."

Ye Wenbo heard the female voice behind him and stiffened. He turned around, clutching the phone tighter.

What could Gu Fenyi do? She might have beaten Jiang Jing, but Jiang Er was different. She might get scared. Yes, she would get scared. When frightened, she would show weakness and embarrass the Ye family.

He just didn't want her to lose face for the Ye family!

"Young Master Ye," Jiang Er's voice came through again.

Ye Wenbo stood motionless, like a hardened sculpture.

Seeing he wouldn't move, Gu Fenyi grabbed the receiver without bothering with him.

Ye Wenbo was caught off guard and failed to stop her.

Instead, Gu Fenyi's smooth, warm fingers brushed his palm, shocking Ye Wenbo into stiffness.

"This is Gu Fenyi," she said directly into the phone.

The line paused. "Mrs. Ye, did you hit Jiang Jing?"

He asked again because someone had claimed Gu Fenyi hit Jiang Jing. If people from the Ye family beat people from the Jiang family without consequence, it would simply be kids fighting. But making it public would throw the Jiang family's reputation to the ground, something he couldn't tolerate.

The problem was that Jiang Jing claimed he wasn't beaten.

The family doctor had examined his injuries and found no obvious marks on his skin...

This meant Jiang Jing only pretended to be in pain.

"Yes," Gu Fenyi lowered her eyes and answered without showing any fear.

Jiang Er was stunned.

Gu Fenyi actually admitted it?

Was she brave or did she simply not care about the Jiang family?

"Then I must come for a visit."

"I'll be waiting."

Jiang Er choked.

He couldn't tell if Gu Fenyi showed real calm or false confidence.

Jiang Er hung up the phone, feeling unsatisfied.

He had called to hold someone accountable. Why didn't he feel any relief after the call?

The secretary waited until he hung up, then bent over and asked, "Are you really going to visit the Ye house?"

"Yes."

"How about three o'clock this afternoon? I'll rearrange your schedule."

"Yes, three o'clock is fine." Jiang Er squeezed the cigarette between his fingers. "We've heard nothing about CEO Ye, so it's time to visit the Ye house and take a look."
