Chapter 590: Ye Zhonghai Runs into Trouble

Jiang Feng saw Ye Xiaoyue, and his face showed a surge of disgust.

Ye Xiaoyue could be considered one of the women he hated most since he came down the mountain.

Originally, if it weren't for Xuan Yuan Zhenren's intervention back then, Ye Zhonghai would have died long ago, let alone the Ye family maintaining such a steady flow of wealth for so many years...

Therefore, back then Ye Zhonghai sincerely promised the marriage between Ye Xiaoyue and Jiang Feng out of gratitude to Xuan Yuan Zhenren.

If the Ye family could really maintain this marriage, then the Ye family now could at least stand proudly over the whole Jiangnan Province.

But Ye Xiaoyue not only failed to keep her promise; she instead, in order to curry favor with Zhao Qiancheng, humiliated Jiang Feng in every way, with harsh words and a terrible attitude.

At the previous auction at Yitian Pavilion, this woman caused trouble, directly causing a conflict between Jiang Feng and Ma Jian.

Later Ma Jian merely mentioned that he wanted to kick that woman out that night, and Jiang Feng didn't pay much attention.

Jiang Feng originally thought he would never see that woman again, but unexpectedly she appeared once more in his world.

Of course, Jiang Feng would not give her any pleasant expression.

His face sank, and he immediately moved to close the door.

Ye Xiaoyue saw he was about to close the door, her face changed dramatically, and she hurriedly knelt with a thud beside Jiang Feng's feet, tightly gripping his legs and shouting loudly.

"Jiang Feng, no matter what, we still have an engagement; you can't treat me like this! This time I truly have no other recourse—if you don't step in to save me, I will really die!"

Her voice was loud, trembling with sobs, echoing in the quiet courtyard. Her tears streamed down, her makeup smudged, making her look utterly disheveled.

Jiang Feng spoke coldly, his voice as icy as winter.

"If you don't let go, I will take your life right now."

His eyes held no pity, only coldness and impatience; he was not threatening her, he was speaking the truth.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoyue immediately stepped back several paces, releasing Jiang Feng's leg.

Her body trembled, her teeth chattered, and she felt as if she had been thrown into an ice cellar.

She also clearly understood that Jiang Feng was no longer the poor boy who had just come down the mountain; his abilities were vast, even Ma Family's young master Ma Jian was his follower!

Someone like him was not someone she could afford to offend.

Seeing Ye Xiaoyue release her grip, Jiang Feng then spoke coldly.

"Let's not even mention that our engagement has already been cancelled……"

Hearing Jiang Feng's words, Ye Xiaoyue's heart was filled with anguish!

How could she have been so foolish as to cancel her engagement with Jiang Feng back then?

How could she, for the sake of Zhao Qiancheng, give up someone truly capable?

In the end, it turned out that only her father's opinion was correct.

Her father once said Jiang Feng was no ordinary pond-dweller; sooner or later he would soar to great heights, urging her to cherish him.

Jiang Feng was the best choice she could ever make in this life.

Unfortunately, back then she was blind and failed to see this.

Ye Xiaoyue regretted deeply, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.

But she now knows that regret has come too late; nothing can be salvaged.

Jiang Feng continued, his voice still cold.

"So your life or death is none of my concern. This time, out of respect for Uncle Ye, I won't touch you—just get lost on your own."

Having said that, he turned and headed toward the house, not wanting to linger another step.

Ye Xiaoyue spoke with tear-filled eyes, her voice hoarse and trembling with sobs.

"Jiang Feng, please save me—I owe money to an underground casino, I've already sold my company's shares, but the more I owe, the more it grows; they say if I don't repay, they'll kill me."

Her voice grew softer and lower, like a drowning person pleading for help.

"Jiang Feng, please save me—now only you can help me!"

Ye Xiaoyue pleaded desperately, her whole body kneeling on the ground, head bowed low, her forehead almost touching the cold floor.

Her shoulders shuddered violently, her wails piercing.

Yet Jiang Feng remained unmoved, walking into the house without looking back.

His retreating figure was cold and resolute, without a hint of hesitation.

Seeing Jiang Feng about to leave completely, Ye Xiaoyue spat out fiercely.

"And my father! You may ignore my fate, but surely you won't ignore my father's as well? He has never done you any wrong!"

Those words were like a dagger, stabbing into Jiang Feng's ears.

Upon hearing Ye Zhonghai's name, Jiang Feng's eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't help but speak.

"What's wrong with Uncle Ye?"

His voice was not loud, but his tone carried a barely perceptible concern. This old man had not despised him at his lowest point; instead, he had treated him as family. This kindness, Jiang Feng had always kept in his heart.

Ye Xiaoyue knelt on the ground, tears streaming down, her voice hoarse.

"My father… his old illness has flared up."

Her body trembled violently, her whole person like a leaf tossed in wind and rain.

"I owe a huge sum to the underground casino; those people came to our house to collect, smashed things, and even beat my father. My father's health was already poor, and after being frightened and struck, he fainted on the spot."

Ye Xiaoyue said this, her voice growing softer and lower.

"Taken to the hospital, the doctor said… his condition is already very poor; his old illness has flared up, plus the fright, his internal organs are all failing. He might… might not last more than a few days."

Having said this, she was already sobbing uncontrollably, her whole body slumped on the ground, shoulders shaking nonstop.

Jiang Feng's brows furrowed.

"What about your mother? Isn't she taking care of you?"

Ye Xiaoyue lifted her head, her eyes full of hatred.

"My mother… she ran away."

Her voice was full of bitterness.

"She heard that I owed so much money, knew that the company at home had also been sold by me, so she packed up her things overnight, rolled up the remaining money and ran away. I called her, she didn't answer. I went to look for her, she simply wouldn't see me."

Ye Xiaoyue's tears welled up again.

"She now treats me as if I don't have this daughter, and doesn't care whether my father lives or dies. In her eyes, only money matters."

Jiang Feng fell silent for a moment.

He had long known that Xie Fang was vain, snobbish, and greedy for money.

When they first met, he was a poor boy, and Xie Fang was not pleased. She constantly urged Ye Xiaoyue to break off the engagement, and even said Ye Zhonghai was an old fool.

Now that something has happened at home, she was the first to run away; this is no surprise.

Ye Xiaoyue cried until her eyes were red and swollen; her whole body knelt on the ground, her forehead knocking against the floor, producing a series of dull thuds.

"Jiang Feng, I know I deserve to die, I'm not human, I'm blind, I'm sorry to you. But my father is innocent; he has never done anything wrong to you. Please, please save him!"

"As long as you save my father, I'll do anything. I'll be your ox and horse, I'll be your slave; you tell me what to do, and I'll do it."

Ye Xiaoyue knocked her head harder, making a louder sound, and blood had already seeped out on her forehead.

Jiang Feng looked at her, his expression calm, his eyes showing no emotion.

He neither spoke nor moved.

Ye Xiaoyue continued kowtowing, once, twice, three times...

Su Lao walked out of the house, saw this scene, and was stunned for a moment.

"Xiao Feng, this is..."

Jiang Feng waved his hand.

"Grandfather, it's fine. Please go back first."

Su Lao glanced at Ye Xiaoyue, then at Jiang Feng, sighed, turned and went back inside.

Only Jiang Feng and Ye Xiaoyue remained in the courtyard.

Ye Xiaoyue was still kowtowing, fresh blood dripping onto the ground, staining a small patch red.

She didn't know how long she had been kowtowing; she only knew her forehead hurt and her vision kept going black. But she dared not stop, for fear that if she did, Jiang Feng would turn and leave.

Just as she was about to faint, Jiang Feng finally spoke.

"Enough."

His voice wasn't loud, but Ye Xiaoyue immediately stopped, lifted her head, her face covered in blood, eyes red and swollen, her gaze full of pleading.

Jiang Feng looked at her and said lightly.

"Which hospital is Uncle Ye in?"

Ye Xiaoyue's eyes suddenly lit up, like a drowning person grabbing at the last straw.

"In... in Jiangcheng First People's Hospital, third floor of the inpatient department."

Jiang Feng nodded.

"Lead the way."

Ye Xiaoyue hurriedly got up from the ground, her legs numb from kneeling, she staggered a step and almost fell. She held onto the wall, steadied herself, and quickly walked toward the car.

Jiang Feng followed behind, his expression calm, showing no emotion.

He got into the car, Ye Xiaoyue started the engine, and drove out of the Su Family Villa.

Jiang Feng leaned back in the seat, closed his eyes, and thought about Ye Zhonghai's situation.

Ye Zhonghai had treated him well. If it weren't for Ye Xiaoyue breaking off the engagement back then, perhaps he would now be Ye Family's son-in-law.

Although fate is like that, it cannot be forced.

But Ye Zhonghai is worth his intervention.
