Chapter 358 Return to the old house
"Dad, Aunt Su Su?" Ye Ze tilted his head, looking at the two of them with an innocent expression.
Upon seeing Ye Ze, Yu Baisu shrank back. She sobbed twice, clutching her stomach with one hand, "Xiao Ze, Auntie knows you don't like Auntie, but the child in Auntie's belly is still your own brother, no matter what. How could you..."
"Aunt Su Su, what are you talking about?" Ye Ze blinked, looking confused.
Ye Chengyan raised his hand to pinch his brow, glanced at the still-wet water stains on the ground, and asked in a deep voice, "What happened to the water on the ground?"
"Ah... I spilled this water." As soon as Ye Ze finished speaking, Yu Baisu looked up at Ye Chengyan with a look that said, "You have to stand up for me."
Ye Chengyan frowned, but before he could ask, he saw Ye Ze looking at him cautiously. "Dad, I was thirsty and wanted to drink water, but the water dispenser was too high, so I called Aunt Su Su. But Aunt Su Su seemed to be asleep, so I tiptoed to the kitchen to get some water myself. But when I came back with the water cup, I accidentally dropped it and spilled water all over the floor. So I went to the bathroom to get a mop. Dad, did I do something wrong?"
Ye Ze lowered his head, looking as if he had done something wrong.
Ye Chengyan scanned the area and finally spotted Ye Ze's cup at the bottom of the stairs. The silver titanium cup lay there quietly; thankfully it wasn't a glass cup, or it would have been troublesome.
Yu Baisu hadn't expected it to be a misunderstanding. Her face darkened. She wondered if it was really such a coincidence. Could this chubby boy really be so cunning? He used to be so stupid, but ever since he met Yunzhi, he's become increasingly out of her control.
“You’re not wrong.” Ye Chengyan raised his hand and gently ruffled Ye Ze’s hair. “I’ll have someone arrange for two nannies to come over in a bit.”
Previously, Ye Chengyan didn't like having unfamiliar people in the house. The nanny who raised Ye Ze resigned two years ago due to family matters. Coincidentally, Yu Baisu volunteered to take care of Ye Ze at that time, so he didn't continue looking for someone else. But now, Yu Baisu is pregnant and is obviously not suitable to take care of Ye Ze anymore. With a pregnant woman and a child in the house, it seems that finding a nanny is urgent.
"Aunt Su Su, why are you sitting on the ground? Did you fall?" Ye Ze breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Yu Bai Su with a puzzled expression. "Aunt Su Su, the doctor said you have a baby in your belly and need to be taken care of. If you fall, shouldn't you go to the hospital? It would be bad if something happened to the baby in your belly."
Ye Ze, like an older brother who genuinely cares about his future younger siblings, gently tugged at Ye Chengyan's sleeve, "Dad, Aunt Su Su fell down, why didn't you take her to the hospital?"
At this moment, Ye Chengyan realized something. Given how much Yu Baisu cared about the baby in her womb, she would probably have immediately demanded to go to the hospital for a check-up after falling, fearing that something might have happened to the baby. But instead, her first reaction was to subtly and implicitly complain, as if she was certain that nothing would happen to the baby.
Ye Chengyan narrowed his eyes, sizing up Yu Baisu, and then, as if he had discovered something, he sneered.
"Okay, let's go to the hospital and get you a thorough check-up."
Who would have thought that after hunting geese all day long, one day a goose would peck at your eye?
"Ayan, my stomach doesn't seem to hurt as much anymore. It should be fine, so let's not go to the hospital. Anyway, Xiaoze didn't do it on purpose." Yu Baisu felt guilty and of course didn't dare to go to the hospital.
She didn't fall at all. She saw a puddle of water on the ground and carefully sat on it. She cherished the child in her womb so much, hoping that the child would bring her status and wealth. She couldn't bear to let the child in her womb suffer even the slightest danger.
She knew from the puddle that Ye Ze was 99% responsible for it, so she decided to use it to frame him. Her best hope was that Ye Chengyan would send Ye Ze to the Ye family's old residence. She didn't want to see that chubby boy anymore. At the hospital, he had made her look so pathetic that she was ashamed to show her face. And that chubby boy was so good at pretending that Ayan believed him.
Yu Baisu was even more afraid that this chubby boy would take advantage of Ayan's absence to harm the child in her womb. There's no such thing as a thief who can guard against a thief for a thousand days. Whether for her sake or for the sake of the baby in her womb, she had to get rid of this chubby boy.
Who would have thought that this time, instead of making Ye Chengyan want to send the little fat boy back to the old house to avoid seeing him, it also made Ye Chengyan suspicious of him. It was a double loss. If Ye Chengyan thought that he was faking it, wouldn't Ye Chengyan never trust him again?
Ye Chengyan remained silent, looking down at Yu Baisu without offering to help her up. The icy water beneath her couldn't dispel the chill in Yu Baisu's heart. What to do? What should she do?
In her panic, Yu Baisu didn't see that Ye Ze, hiding behind Ye Chengyan, was looking at her with a smug expression. Aunt Zhizhi was right, he was just a child. What bad things would a child do?
Ye Chengyan's gaze was like a knife, but a minute later, he looked away.
"Xiao Ze, go back to your room first." Ye Chengyan gently patted Ye Ze's shoulder, took the mop from his hand and put it aside. Ye Ze nodded and obediently walked back to his room with his short legs.
With a bang, the door slammed shut, leaving only Ye Chengyan and Yu Baisu in the living room.
Yu Baisu bit her lip, looked up at Ye Chengyan with a wronged expression, and her first reaction was to play the victim, "Ayan..."
She was carrying Ye Chengyan's child, and Ye Chengyan wouldn't give her any face. But this time, Yu Baisu miscalculated. Ye Chengyan had a cold face and avoided Yu Baisu's hand as she tried to take his. His voice was like ice.
"Yu Baisu, put away your little schemes. Do you know how this child in your belly came about? If you were more sensible, he would be my child, Ye Chengyan's child. Otherwise, it's just an embryo whose birth is uncertain."
Ye Chengyan's words were practically telling Yu Baisu that he could either let her give birth to the child or he could make her abort it.
Yu Baisu looked at Ye Chengyan in disbelief. She was truly terrified this time, her whole body trembling uncontrollably. "Ayan, you can't do this. This is our child."
"Xiao Ze is also my child, and my future successor." Ye Chengyan looked at her coldly and said, word by word.
The words "successor" exploded in Yu Baisu's mind like a thunderclap.
Is Ye Ze, that idiot, Ye Chengyan's successor? What about the child in her womb? Doesn't Ye Chengyan care about their child at all?
