Chapter 76 All That Once Was
"Mr. Ye! There was a call from the office just now. They said they found out you embezzled 130,000 yuan of company funds a month ago, and they need you to go to the police station to cooperate with the investigation." The assistant's anxious and flustered voice came from the other end of the phone.
Ye Chengyan frowned, "When did I..."
He suddenly remembered something.
A month ago, his bank card was frozen due to risk control measures, allowing him to receive payments but not make payments. At that time, he needed to pay the final installment for the venue for Su Su's birthday party, so he directly contacted the finance department and transferred 130,000 yuan to them.
Afterwards, a series of events made him temporarily forget about the matter. Even though his bank card was quickly unfrozen, he forgot about the 130,000 yuan that was insignificant to him.
"I will transfer 130 million directly to the company account in a moment."
Ye Chengyan didn't take the matter seriously, thinking that it would be fine once it was fixed.
The assistant on the other end of the phone sounded troubled. "Mr. Ye, I'm afraid that won't work. The police require you to come in for investigation. If you make up the difference today when they find out about the 130,000, it should be fine, but now..."
The assistant didn't finish speaking, but the meaning was clear.
Ye Chengyan's face darkened. "Why didn't you call me back then?"
"Mr. Ye, I called you, but you didn't answer."
Ye Chengyan then realized that he had indeed hung up on several calls from his assistants that afternoon. At that time, he was still furious about Yunzhi's escape and thought the assistants were urging him to go back, so he had no interest in answering the phone.
"I'm busy right now."
"Mr. Ye, the police said that if you can't go to the police station for investigation before 8 a.m. tomorrow, they will personally drive a police car to pick you up from the company."
Ye Chengyan's hand tightened suddenly around his phone, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.
If the police car really takes a spin around Ye's territory, the rumors that Ye's family just suppressed will probably resurface.
He loosened his tie in frustration.
If Yunzhi hadn't run away, why would he have come back halfway, and why would so many messy things have happened afterward?
She really knows how to get herself into trouble.
Ye Chengyan effortlessly shifted the blame onto Yunzhi.
"I understand." After saying that, he hung up the phone.
boom.
Yu Baisu rushed in, her doe-like eyes filled with panic. When she saw Ye Chengyan, she rushed over as if she had seen her pillar of support. "Chengyan, what should we do? Xiaoze seems to have a fever. It's all my fault for not taking good care of Xiaoze."
Her beautiful face was filled with self-reproach.
When Ye Chengyan looked down, he saw Yu Baisu's fair skin because her shirt buttons were fastened in a mess. His Adam's apple bobbed, and a surge of heat rushed down his body. It took him a minute to realize what she had said.
"It's alright, Su Su, don't worry, I'll go with you to take a look first."
Yu Baisu hurriedly grabbed Ye Chengyan's large hand and pulled him outside. Ye Chengyan indulgently followed behind. Her black hair swayed back and forth, occasionally brushing against Ye Chengyan's nose. The woman's natural fragrance made his eyes wander.
"Chengyan, I'm sorry, I was too anxious just now." Upon entering the ward, Yu Baisu seemed to only then notice that the two were holding hands tightly. She bit her lip, took a step back, and apologized hastily.
Ye Chengyan appeared to have no temper when facing Yu Baisu.
"It's alright, let me check on Xiaoze." He lifted his foot and walked to the sofa.
Ye Ze was covered with a blanket, his face flushed an abnormally. Ye Chengyan frowned and checked his temperature. The burning temperature made his expression change slightly, and he immediately called for a doctor.
After taking Ye Ze's temperature, the doctor gasped, "The young master's temperature is already 39.3 degrees Celsius. If it had been discovered any later, his life might have been in danger."
“It’s all my fault, Chengyan. I shouldn’t have neglected Xiaoze because I wasn’t feeling well. If anything happens to Xiaoze, I will never be able to face you again.”
Yu Baisu's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, giving her a broken beauty.
Although Ye Chengyan was anxious, he didn't blame Yu Baisu and even comforted her.
The doctor left after putting Ye Ze on an IV drip.
In a daze, Ye Ze called out for his mother in a tearful voice.
In my memory, whenever he was sick, it was always his mother who stayed with him, comforted him, and told him stories. When he was vulnerable, his mother was the first person he thought of.
When Yu Baisu heard Ye Ze call out "Mom," a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes.
He really is Yunzhi's son.
He's an ungrateful wretch who can't be tamed.
Seeing her son crying out for his mother in pain, Ye Chengyan felt a pang of pity.
He recalled how Yunzhi used to take care of him and his son, managing the household in an orderly manner and never letting him worry about anything.
When did he begin to loathe this warm and cozy life he once longed for?
Yu Baisu naturally noticed Ye Chengyan's complicated expression.
Her heart tightened; she absolutely could not give Yunzhi any chance to turn things around!
She carefully tugged at Ye Chengyan's arm.
“Chengyan, Xiaoze misses her mother. If you find Miss Yun, could you ask her to come and see Xiaoze? Xiaoze looks so pitiful. If she's still angry with me, I'll apologize to her.”
As Yu Baisu spoke, she pursed her lips, "Miss Yun just lost a child, she certainly wouldn't just stand by and watch Xiao Ze get into trouble, she definitely wouldn't be so heartless."
When she said her last words, she deliberately lowered her voice, as if she were comforting herself.
This immediately reminded Ye Chengyan of the disgusting and cruel things that Yunzhi had done.
The emotions that had just softened in his eyes instantly turned cold and hard.
She wouldn't be so heartless, would she?
She killed an eight-month-old baby with her own hands for her own selfish reasons.
They even used the child's body to disgust themselves.
Su Su is still too kind-hearted; she still harbors such expectations of Yun Zhi.
Yunzhi is not worthy!
"No need. Since she doesn't acknowledge Xiaoze, she shouldn't acknowledge him in the future either."
"Chengyan." Yu Baisu opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to persuade him.
Ye Chengyan reached out and pressed his hand against her lips.
“Don’t speak up for her. She’s mentally unstable. I’m afraid she might have an episode and hurt Xiaoze. I know you’re kind, but some people don’t deserve your kindness.”
His tone was cold.
Yu Baisu hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly to indicate that she understood.
Ye Chengyan withdrew his hand, raised it to smooth her messy black hair, and said in a very gentle tone, "I believe that Xiaoze will be even happier to see you when he wakes up."
Her cheeks flushed, like the sunset on the horizon, playful and beautiful.
Ye Chengyan's mind was filled with uncontrollable recollections.
The night he married Yunzhi.
She was the same way, beautiful and charming.
When did she become like this, with such an ugly mind, resorting to any means to achieve her goals?
Seeing Ye Chengyan suddenly lost in thought, Yu Baisu raised her hand and waved it in front of him.
"Chengyan, what's wrong?"
