Chapter 186: Broken Ties
“Eldest Sister, congratulations on your acquittal. I am happy for you.” When Ye Shanshan saw that she was about to land herself in hot water, she stepped forward immediately and tried to hold Ye Jiuge’s hand.
However, Ye Jiuge dodged her, and said emotionlessly, “You were singing a different tune earlier!”
“Eldest Sister, are you still angry at me for that?” Ye Shanshan had a hurt expression. She held back her tears as she said, “I was so concerned about you that rumors misled me. That is my fault. Eldest Sister, if you still hold a grudge against me, then you can beat me up to vent your anger. I will not complain!”
“Jiuge, your younger sister was worried that you’d strayed from the right path.” Ye Yuxuan carried himself with the imposing air of a father as he said, “Although you’ve managed to clear your name this time, if you had not acted so recklessly, you would not have fallen so easily into the Black Magic Practitioner’s trap. You should take this as a lesson and be more careful in the future.”
“Great Master Ye, you are right. I will engrave your advice in my heart.” Ye Jiuge looked directly into Ye Yuxuan’s eyes as she slowly uttered every word.
When Ye Yuxuan heard ‘Great Master Ye,’ he frowned instantly.
Although he hated Ye Jiuge, Ye Jiuge had embarrassed him greatly by speaking against him that day in such a setting.
Therefore, Ye Yuxuan put on a stern face as he spoke, “This time, I have wronged you. I was mistaken. Don’t tell me that you are still holding onto your resentment toward me?”
“Eldest Sister, we are a family. Blood is thicker than water. Father did this for your good. He was concerned that you had strayed onto the wrong path, so he came here in a hurry. Actually, you are always in his thoughts.” Ye Shanshan’s eyes were slightly red, as if she were extremely saddened by Ye Jiuge’s actions.
