Chapter 2306 - 2307: The Woman Who Cursed Ye Xunhuan to Die
Ji Ziyan is dead, killed by Ma Yingjun.
Perhaps because he heard Ji Ziyan’s humiliating life story, Ma Yingjun didn’t make things difficult for Ji Ziyan, but instead gave him a quick death, ending his life.
And from beginning to end, Ji Ziyan didn’t beg for mercy at all. Whether he truly knew he was doomed or had a bit of backbone, he still was somewhat of a man.
After Ji Ziyan was killed by Ma Yingjun, Ye Xunhuan found himself without any issues in Dongnan City. Maybe killing Ji Ziyan and figuring out why Ji Ziyan hated him so much, wanted to kill him, gave Ye Xunhuan a sense of relief!
"Xiao Jiu, do you think men undergo a qualitative change when stimulated by women?"
Xiao Jiu knew that by "qualitative change," Ye Xunhuan was referring entirely to a person’s psyche.
Immediately, Xiao Jiu nodded and said: "I suppose so!"
Take today’s society for example, many people don’t buy houses before marriage, they buy houses after, but have no money, and their wife nags at them, causing annoyance but not anger. But if their wife compares them to others, they become very angry and may say things out of spite!
Yet simultaneously, there’s a deep-seated resentment towards those the wife compares them to, though this resentment isn’t outwardly obvious.
Ji Ziyan’s hatred was completely amplified by Geng Jingqiu, compounded by Ji Ziyan’s humiliation, leading to an unquenchable hatred and murderous intent towards Ye Xunhuan.
Ye Xunhuan slowly exhaled a pent-up breath, then softly said: "Alright, I’ll walk by myself, you head back to Jiangzhong City. Don’t worry about me!"
"By the way, let Xiao Ma take over here. He’s been diligent and loyal under you, and you’re occupied in Jiangzhong City. So let’s hand this place to Xiao Ma!"
"Let him show what he’s capable of, you handle Jiangzhong City yourself. Of course, if you can find someone like Xiao Ma, go ahead!"
"Brother Huan, why not unify everything, like Dongfang Shu in Zhonghai Province, and be an uncrowned king?" Xiao Jiu whispered: "As for other matters, let Xiao Ma handle them, I will still keep my hands off everything!"
"You sure enjoy being a hands-off manager!"
"Isn’t it because Brother Huan taught me well!" Xiao Jiu said modestly.
"I taught you nothing!" Ye Xunhuan said irritably: "When did I ever do such things..."
"Your kingdom hasn’t been managed, hasn’t Victoria and others managed it for you!"
Ye Xunhuan didn’t know what to say because Xiao Jiu spoke the truth!
"Alright, enough joking, I’m off for a walk!"
"Brother Huan, if I return and run into your wife, what should I say if she asks about you?"
"I’ll be back when you return!"
Saying this, Ye Xunhuan lifted his feet and walked forward, without any intent to look back.
Although now Ji Ziyan was dead and Ye Xunhuan had nearly nothing to do here, he didn’t intend to return immediately. He wanted to walk alone, stay silent, and think carefully about what he should do henceforth.
After all, there were too many people secretly wishing him dead. This time, luck and the help of benefactors saved him. Without help, Ye Xunhuan believes he would have reached life’s terminal stop — the crematorium!
Ye Xunhuan didn’t return to the Xiahou family, nor did he seek Chu Ji, just aimlessly wandered the streets and alleys of Dongnan City.
Despite the chilly weather, it couldn’t stop people from hitting the streets, so even if it was somewhat cold, the streets were still crowded with pedestrians.
Ye Xunhuan wandered aimlessly in Dongnan City, unknowingly reaching the pedestrian street.
Ye Xunhuan glanced around, then exhaled a pent-up breath, preparing to leave.
Just as Ye Xunhuan was about to turn and leave, a familiar voice suddenly reached his ears.
"Grandpa, last time you said someone wanted to kill Ye Xunhuan, is he dead now?"
Upon hearing this familiar voice and realizing someone was talking about him, Ye Xunhuan couldn’t resist turning around, and immediately a radiant figure entered his view.
The woman was wearing a pink fur coat, black leggings, and black knee-high boots, a complete urban beauty outfit.
The woman’s gold, curly hair casually draped over her shoulders, with her delicate face freshly powdered, looked extremely radiant, attracting the gazes of nearby men.
At this moment, the woman was affectionately arm in arm with an elderly man in a Tang suit.
Seeing this woman, Ye Xunhuan’s face slowly showed a hint of surprise; the world is indeed small. Unintentionally walking here, he met someone familiar, talking about him, no less.
"No!" the old man said softly: "He’s not that easily killed, and old man Xiahou would never allow his treasured grandson-in-law to die!"
"Grandpa, is there really no one who can kill him?" the woman immediately asked, her eyes briefly flashing a shadow.
"Perhaps there is!" the old man said uncertainly: "But regardless, he is still alive now, and if he doesn’t meet an untimely death, in ten years he might be calling the shots in this land!"
"Grandpa, then does that mean he will be unbeatable..."
"It’s hard to say if he’ll be unbeatable, but one thing is for sure, he’ll be unmatched here, standing at the pinnacle of the pyramid, a presence that demands our reverence."
"I refuse to believe he can live on!" the woman said heavily: "So many people want him dead, and it’s fraught with danger, I don’t believe his luck will last forever."
The woman seemed to have great prejudice against Ye Xunhuan, and also harbored immense resentment. Her words frequently revealed a desire for Ye Xunhuan to be killed.
The conversation between the woman and the old man fell entirely into Ye Xunhuan’s ears, causing him to involuntarily curl his lips into a mischievous smile.
In an instant, Ye Xunhuan’s figure moved, and in a flash appeared beside the woman and the old man: "Don’t you know it’s impolite and unethical to curse someone behind their back?"
Ye Xunhuan suddenly appeared in front of the woman, causing her to widen her eyes while her delicate face slowly filled with unease!
"You... you..."
