Chapter 1180: Collaboration Between The Strong

“Sun Yaozu’s wife is called Ye Zhixiang. She’s Ye Zhifan’s sister.” Ye Jian told them what happened twenty days ago. She also told them what Grandma Ye said so that Hou Zi could use it as a reference when he investigates the issue. “... I don’t suspect Ye Zhifan. I suspect the old lady from the Ye family as well as Ye Zhixiang.”

Grandma Ye said that ‘rumors are an invisible killing weapon’. Since she said it personally and rumors about her and Hou Zi were spread, Ye Jian could almost confirm that the mother and daughter were the ones behind this scheme.

“Sun Yaozu. Alright, I will go and investigate this person. If it was really him, I will invite his family for some tea and have a good chat with them.” Hou Zi said handsomely and his words sounded refined too. No killing intent could be detected. However, Xia Yiwei, who hadn’t looked at him in the face for a while, frowned furtively.

She glanced at the man whom she was most familiar with and asked Ye Jian, “If they were really the ones who did this, what do you plan to do? Do you plan to take the soft or hard approach?”

Hou Zi’s face was black at the start. But, when he heard this, he suddenly smiled. His gaze was even more intense than the scorching sunlight as he looked at Xia Yiwei.

They were together for 17 years and they understood each other for 17 years. They were so familiar with each other that they knew what the other party wanted to do with a single glance. Even though they had been apart for a few hundred days, the familiarity was etched in their bones, like they were never strangers.

Xia Yiwei’s words made Hou Zi excited because he knew that she was asking Ye Jian for him.

Even Ye Jian was able to feel his intense gaze, much less Xia Yiwei. However, she still managed to control herself and replied without a change in her expression, “You can tell us what’s the soft approach you have in your mind if you choose that. If you want to do it the hard way, you can just let him handle it.”

“Yiwei, she’s going to take her university entrance examination soon. Whether she wants the soft or hard approach, let me settle it.” Hou Zi smiled. His smile came from the bottom of his heart and it was brighter than the sun. His features, which looked like they were part of a painting, were astonishingly beautiful. “Let me handle it. Don’t worry.”

Xia Yiwei pretended to not notice anything. She glanced at him indifferently and said to Ye Jian who wanted to walk away silently, “That’s true. You need to focus on your studies. Don’t get distracted by what’s happening outside.”

“That is too troubling for you.” Because of Xia Jinyuan, she naturally stood on Xia Yiwei’s side and once again ignored Hou Zi’s hint to ask her to leave. She smiled and replied, “Actually, these rumors won’t affect me. The school won’t believe them either. The only thing I’m afraid of is that the students will gossip about it.”

Hou Zi interrupted her and took over the conversation calmly. “If the students gossip about it, we can let the person who spread the rumor apologize through the newspaper or the television or stand in front of the school.”

Hou Zi decided that he would take over this matter no matter what and settle it as if it was his own matter. Thus, he explained what he planned to do. His tough way of doing things allowed Ye Jian to gain more exposure.

However, Ye Jian was tempted by what he said. If that happened, Grandma Ye wouldn’t have the face to appear in front of her again.

Xia Yiwei was tempted too. This method was gentle and reasonable. They wouldn’t kick up a huge fuss either.
