Ye Sichen’s cold face reminded her of their history.
Was he planning to bind her with Song Kuncheng’s case like this?
She looked around and saw a big mirror. In the mirror, she found herself bare on a big bed, with her hair disheveled and face still blushed.
“Put it on.”
He said slowly.
She looked at him. After a while, she unfolded the black cheongsam and put it on.
Seeing her moving slowly, he walked over and took her out of the bed. He turned her weak body back, and zipped the cheongsam on the waist. Right after that, he picked up the comb to deal with her hair and tied it with a hair band.
He was very proficient. Obviously, he always did that for Nianci.
“Go downstairs to have a meal. After that, I’ll take you to a place.”
He held her hand.
She resisted and took her hand out, then asked him, “Where are we going? Don’t you wanna solve Song Kuncheng’s problem?”
“Your husband has just pa.s.sed away. Even his funeral hasn’t been arranged well. I’m gonna take you to deal with his funeral affairs.” He said, with ridicule in his cold words.
“I have nothing to do with Ye Enchen.”
“Xia Nuan, you have to remember you two are still husband and wife in law.” He said word by word.
She wanted to say something but the words stopped on her lips.
“If you don’t want Song Kuncheng to be sentenced, what you need to do now is to cooperate with me.” He said again.
Xia Nuan thought about it and followed him downstairs.
Ansheng was also in the living room. She suddenly felt better to see him. She went to hug Ansheng, but was stopped by Ye Sichen.
“Eat.”
He ordered.
Xia Nuan could only look at Ansheng, but couldn’t get close to him. She knew that Ye Sichen was publishing her.
Ansheng was also looking at her, waving his small arms and babbling to ask for her hug. Seeing this, Ye Sichen walked over and held him in his arms.
Then Ansheng didn’t look at Xia Nuan anymore. He turned his attention on Ye Sichen. He smiled to Ye Sichen and reached out his hand to touch Ye Sichen’s face.
Ye Sichen’s eyes were filled with pampering. He kissed Ansheng on his cheek, and then handed him to Ken.
Ken took Ansheng upstairs and handed him to the new babysitter.
Xia Nuan just chewed the meal without any mood to taste. Her heart was hurt.
Ye Sichen was having breakfast elegantly. He picked up the phone handed by Ken.
“Sir, Madam Ye said that she’s unwilling to come to Master Enchen’s funeral because it’s too far.” Ken whispered and stepped backwards silently.
Ye Sichen held the phone, “Mom.”
On the other end of the phone, Madam Ye pleaded in a sad tone, “Sichen, your brother had last words before his death. He said that he wanted to be buried under the refugee camp in Country S. Sichen, please fulfill his wish.”
He raised his thin lips slightly, “Will do. Mom, you can rest a.s.sured.”
“Well, then I’m relieved. I don’t wanna go to Country S to attend his funeral. I’m afraid I can’t control my emotions by then. Please understand me.” Madam Ye said and chocked with sobs.
“I understand. Don’t worry. I’ll handle his funeral well.”
He hung up and looked at Xia Nuan.
She was uncomfortable to be stared by him, so she looked away.
He took her to the car and went to the notary office.
Inside the car, he gave her a pair of sungla.s.ses and told her to wear it.
They were escorted by the safeguards to the notary office.
“This is Xia Nuan, my brother Ye Enchen’s wife. Before his death, he didn’t make any wills, nor distribute his property, and had no child. So, his property shall be inherited by his wife, Xia Nuan.”
Ye Sichen sat there and said slowly.
The leader and the notary of the notary office listened carefully and nodded slowly.
Xia Nuan didn’t expect that Ye Sichen would take her here to inherit Ye Enchen’s property!
“Ye Enchen and I have already…”
“Your marriage is legally effective.” Ye Sichen interrupted her, with a trace of threat in his cold eyes.
She had to cooperate with him.
Because this was about whether Song Kuncheng would be released from prison or be sentenced.
If she didn’t cooperate with him, Ye Sichen would continue to aim at Song Kuncheng.
In the notary office, a series of property inheritance procedures were handled. Then Ye Sichen took Xia Nuan to the refugee camp.
Before his death, Ye Enchen tried to dig treasure here. Since he was dead, the project discontinued halfway. However, half of the underground pa.s.sage had already been opened.
Ye Sichen intended to bury Ye Enchen here as Madam Ye enjoined.
“The so-called treasure is just what he imagined. In fact, there’s nothing underground.” Ye Sichen paced and looked at the green gra.s.s.
Xia Nuan looked along his sight and frowned.
She knew that Ye Enchen was blinded by greed, so he would believe there was treasure here.
“I don’t want to inherit his property. I have nothing to do with him.” Xia Nuan spoke her mind.
“Are you so lofty? You want nothing?” Ye Sichen sneered.
“Don’t sneer at me like this, I beg you…” She looked at him with tears in her eyes, “Ye Sichen, I’d rather let you torture me than hear your ridicule.”
“Xia Nuan, what makes you think that you can refuse to inherit his property? Song Kuncheng is still in prison, waiting for you to save him. What you have to do now is to cooperate with me. Whatever I wanna do, you must cooperate. Understand?” His tall figure got close to her before he lifted her chin.
“Well, I’ll cooperate with you.” She removed his hand.
Ye Enchen’s funeral was held in the afternoon. A few people who had business relationship with him attended.
The pallbearers were also hired by Ye Sichen. Everything was arranged simply. However, the media staff had been making a live broadcast in the dark. Ye Sichen didn’t stop this. He just turned a blind eye to them.
He hoped that people all over the world knew Ye Enchen was dead.
Ye Enchen’s coffin was placed in the underground pa.s.sage inside the refugee camp, and then the gates were closed one by one.
After the funeral, Xia Yan sneaked into the underground pa.s.sage, and then opened the closed gates with keys.
Ye Enchen gave this bunch of keys to her before his “death”.
After opening the pa.s.sage doors, Xia Yan walked to the lone and gloomy coffin. She gently knocked the coffin twice, and then there were two knocks as response. Xia Yan stopped frowning and opened the coffin cover with all her strength. Then Ye Enchen climbed out from inside.
“Enchen, are you all right?” Xia Yan said with concern. Then she helped Ye Enchen get out of the coffin with crutches.
No one knew that Xia Yan made a hole in the bottom of the coffin according to Ye Enchen’s instruction. Therefore, he could breathe freely inside the coffin.
His face was livid, and his vicious voice echoed in the silent underground pa.s.sage, “G.o.dd.a.m.n Ye Sichen! He gives all my property to the b.i.t.c.h Xia Nuan!” He got a phone from Xia Yan and called Madam Ye.
He must solve this matter!
He thought that he could not only evade the capture, but also stay here secretly to find the treasure after he faked his death. The reason why he was buried here was to take away the treasure easily. However, he didn’t expect that Ye Sichen would give his property to Xia Nuan after his death!
His call had been put through to Madam Ye…
At night, the guests who attended the funeral were sent away. Ye Sichen and Xia Nuan were ready to leave.
At this time, Madam Ye and Ye Ranni called Ye Sichen. They questioned him why Xia Nuan inherited Ye Enchen’s property.
“Xia Nuan has no right to inherit Enchen’s property. Enchen didn’t make a will to make her inherit his property. So, you must revoke her right of inheritance in the notary office! Even if his property needs to be inherited, it shall be inherited by our family members!” Ye Ranni said in a huff.
“Only if Ye Enchen could come back to life, Xia Nuan’s right of inheritance can be revoked.” Ye Sichen hung up.
After a while, Madam Ye also called him. Like Ye Ranni, she wanted to make Ye Sichen change the right of inheritance. However, he replied with the same words: it couldn’t be changed.
Madam Ye was so angry that she blurted out on the phone, “Sichen! Enchen is still alive. He faked his death to evade the capture. He was also the victim of the concert accident. Why do you push him too hard? He did so to escape from you. However, I don’t expect that after his death, you still can’t let him go!”
“Mom, I won’t believe your words. You make such a lie to deceive me just because you want to prevent Xia Nuan from inheriting Ye Enchen’s property. If he is really alive, please tell him to stand in front of me. Then I’ll believe.”
His eyes were cold, with a sense of sneer inside.
How could Ye Enchen be willing to die? He did this just to evade the sanctions.
In fact, Ye Sichen doubted that Ye Enchen faked his death. So, he deliberately made Xia Nuan inherit Ye Enchen’s property in the name of his wife. By doing so, he could force Ye Enchen to appear.
Madam Ye was in a dilemma. She kept silent for a while and said, “Sichen, he won’t appear until you stop aiming at him.”
“Mom, let me put it this way. If he doesn’t want to take the responsibility for the accident and be arrested, he shall continue to fake his death. But if he can’t abandon his property, he can choose to be alive. However, he must know he will face the arrest. That’s the two choices left for him.”
Xia Nuan was shocked after listening to Ye Sichen’s words.
It turned out that Ye Enchen faked his death. No wonder that Ye Sichen wanted her to inherit all the property of Ye Enchen. He wanted to force Ye Enchen to appear.
Ye Sichen hung up and looked at Xia Nuan.
He touched her inadvertently and felt her body was cold. He frowned and held her in his arms.
Their eyes contacted but they kept silent.
They wanted to say something, but the words stopped on their lips. Everywhere was surrounded by silence.
“Ah!!”
Suddenly, there was a scream coming from the underground pa.s.sage.
Their eyes contact was interrupted by it.
Ye Sichen took Xia Nuan and walked over there.
At this time, they saw a person running out of the underground pa.s.sage. When they looked carefully, they found that was Xia Yan.
She was frightened, running and looking at the underground pa.s.sage from time to time.
