Chapter 342 Why didn’t you understand me

At this time, they started to fire at Ye Sichen’s side. Ye Sichen and Di Luoke then fired against them with the pirates arranged by Ye Sichen. However, dozens of cruise ships came to attack them from the outside.

The pirates seemed to be in danger.

In order to protect the pirates from the attack of cruise ships, Ye Sichen took another measure, releasing smoke bombs to set a psychedelic array.

When Ye Sichen was about to action, he heard Meng Zuo’s voice suddenly.

“Sir! It’s me!”

Meng Zuo stood on the deck and waved at Ye Sichen. The latter’s eyebrows stretched slightly.

The group of attackers didn’t beat them but ran away. Actually, Ye Sichen let them go deliberately, because Meng Zuo told him that these people were sent by Xiao Chi, president of Country A, in order to take revenge.

“Sir, you can’t hurt his men right now. If they die, Xiao Chi will have reasons to accuse you. We can only repel them, instead of chasing after them. Just give them a lesson.” Meng Zuo said.

Ye Sichen nodded for agreement, but he was curious why Meng Zuo was here for rescue.

Meng Zuo told him, “Your uncle Ni Yuan, Nan Zhentian, told me.”

“Right. Nan Zhentian is now by Xiao Chi’s side. He knows Xiao Chi’s actions clearly.” Ye Sichen thought so, watching the cruise ships drifting away.

The attack subsided finally. Meng Zuo, Ye Sichen and Di Luoke went back to the island with their men.

The island was in peace again.

In the living room, Mrs. Ni greeted him, “Chen. Are you all right?”

Ye Sichen appeased Mrs. Ni, “It’s okay. Sorry to bother you.”

Mrs. Ni took a long breath and saw Meng Zuo, so she started talking to Meng Zuo.

“Where is Ge Li? If she knows Zuo is here, she will be extremely happy.” Mrs. Ni looked for Ge Li in the living room.

Ye Sichen looked at Gu Jinhan, walked over, and asked him slightly, “Are you all right?”

Gu Jinhan smiled, “I’m okay. You can have a relief.”

“Sorry, I misunderstood you.” Ye Sichen apologized to him.

Gu Jinhan didn’t take it seriously, “It’s okay, Mr. Ye. I am very glad that you can repel those people who made trouble successfully.”

Xia Nuan heard the noise outside and walked out of the bedroom.

Standing upstairs, she saw Ye Sichen. He was okay, not injured or bleeding. Xia Nuan’s heavy heart returned to its original position.

Gu Jinhan also looked at Xia Nuan, with a warm smile in his eyes, which was warmer than Ye Sichen’s.

Seeing Xia Nuan, Mrs. Ni seemed to think of something. She murmured to Ye Sichen in guilt, “Chen, I’m sorry to open the door for Xia Nuan before. She was begging me to release her for saving Gu Jinhan. So, I… She thought you were going to kill him.”

“Well, I understand.” Ye Sichen looked at Xia Nuan, glanced at Gu Jinhan, and ordered the subordinates behind him, “Help Mr. Gu go to the bedroom for recuperation. Make a menu for Mr. Gu. I will ask the kitchen to cook.”

“Thank you, Mr. Ye. I’m not hungry. I’ll have a rest first.” Gu Jinhan stood up strenuously, and just passed by Xia Nuan.

Seeing his painful face, Di Luoke rushed to help him before Xia Nuan stepped forward to help him.

Xia Nuan didn’t grab him, feeling a little embarrassed.

At this moment, the door of drinking room opened suddenly. Ge Li stumbled out, and the blood mark on her face was dried, which was terrifying.

“What’s the matter with you, Ge Li?” Mrs. Ni and Meng Zuo were startled.

Xia Nuan’s eyes went dark, and a hint of coldness appeared on her lips. Instead of looking at Ge Li, she turned her attention to the villa.

Ge Li stared at Xia Nuan, with tears of humiliation in her eyes.

Everyone looked at Xia Nuan, including Ye Sichen.

“I’m okay, ma’am. Let me help you go inside and have a rest.” Ge Li withdrew her sight and wiped her tears away.

“Ge Li, what happened? Tell me. I’ll make it for you. Don’t be afraid.”

Mrs. Ni encouraged Ge Li.

Ge Li kept silent, and just shook her head constantly.

Meng Zuo also looked worried.

“What the hell happened? Tell me.” Ye Sichen didn’t want to depress Meng Zuo, so he asked Ge Li gently.

“It’s really okay. Lady poured water for Mr. Gu before. I went there to wash my hands but crashed her accidentally. And the glass in her hand was shattered…” Ge Li still talked.

Mrs. Ni snorted coldly, stepped forward and asked Xia Nuan, “Have you hit Ge Li?”

Xia Nuan looked calm and righteous, “Yes.”

“Ge Li is my staff. What’s your qualification to touch her? Chen, don’t you teach your wife the rules?”

Ye Sichen frowned, and looked at stubborn Xia Nuan, “I will deal with it and give a good result for you and Uncle Zuo.”

“I want it now.” Mrs. Ni glared at Xia Nuan angrily, and said softly but in a stubborn tone, “Uncle Zuo is here. His daughter was wronged by us. What do you want him to think?”

Meng Zuo bowed slightly, “Ma’am, maybe Ge Li did something wrong. Just let it go.” He knew Xia Nuan’s status in Ye Sichen’s heart clearly. Therefore, even if his daughter was wronged, he must retreat from difficulties.

As soon as Ge Li heard it, she looked at Meng Zuo aggrievedly and let Mrs. Ni’s arm go, “Yes, it’s all my fault! I shouldn’t have been so negligent, hitting her and breaking her glass. I’m not wronged with this slap.”

Then she ran out quickly. Meng Zuo saw it, stretched out his hand to grab Ge Li, but didn’t catch her. So, he followed her out.

Mrs. Ni trembled and questioned Xia Nuan aggressively, “You must wrong her too much or she wouldn’t be so aggressive!”

“She provoked me first.” Xia Nuan explained.

“Provoking you? Ge Li is an educated girl. She would never do the unreasonable things. I know her.”

“Yes, she won’t be unreasonable, but she will create affairs from nothing. And she can pretend to be innocent to get your sympathy.” Xia Nuan countered coldly.

“You… How dare you!”

“I did beat her, but she deserved it.”

“Xia Nuan, shut up.” Ye Sichen interrupted her coldly, holding Mrs. Ni who was breathless.

Xia Nuan looked at Ye Sichen, with a surge of anger in her eyes.

Meng Zuo walked in, holding Ge Li, whose wrist was bleeding. She pinched a piece of sharp glass slag in her hand. Meng Zuo kept preventing her from maiming herself.

However, Ge Li was determined to die, “Dad, only death can prove my innocence. Let me die. No one wants me anyway…”

After talking, she wept sadly.

Meng Zuo snatched the slag from her hand, “My girl, do you want Mrs. Ni and Mr. Ye to worry about you? If you die, won’t they live in guilt? Don’t do stupid things!”

Hearing this, she lay in Meng Zuo’s arms and burst into tears.

“Xia Nuan, apologize to Ge Li.” Ye Sichen ordered Xia Nuan.

Xia Nuan was indifferent, stood there, and looked at Ge Li coldly, “I’m not wrong. Why should I apologize?”

“Xia Nuan, you don’t repent until now. Do you want Ge Li to die? Are you deliberate? Why does Chen fall in love with an uneducated woman like you?” Mrs. Ni trembled when she spoke.

“Yes, I’m uneducated. I’m unbearable. I’m dirty. I don’t deserve him. In fact, I can choose to leave. I don’t have to be with your son. I originally thought that we could share benefits and troubles together, but I’m wrong…”

“Slap!”

Xia Nuan’s face was slapped loudly. Her whole face was numb. The slap was so hard that Xia Nuan fell on the sofa.

Xia Nuan’s tears fell down. She covered her swollen face, watching Ye Sichen.

Meng Zuo and Ge Li were shocked at once, and all the people present held their breath.

“Ge Li, I slapped her for you as an apology.” Ye Sichen told Ge Li, who was startled.

Ge Li kept in silence and lowered her head slowly.

Mrs. Ni’s anger finally disappeared. She looked at Xia Nuan with hatred, who was lying on the sofa, and said slowly, “Xia Nuan, if you want to be a daughter-in-law in my family, you must learn to look after your husband and your children, obey our rules, and know how to respect elders and subordinates. I hope you can do well.”

After saying that, Mrs. Ni held Ge Li’s hand and entered the bedroom.

Xia Nuan sat on the sofa blankly. With empty eyes, her tears rolled down like broken beads.

Ye Sichen’s slap broke her heart.

He could treat everyone with sorrow and compassion, but he was so harsh on her.

Gu Jinhan stood by the door of the room and looked at the scene with distress, but his hands behind him kept tightening.

He didn’t have rights to protect her at this time. He must learn to endure.

He stopped looking and turned to the bedroom.

He gained Ye Sichen’s trust successfully. And he would continue to work hard without revealing any flaws.

In the living room, there were only Ye Sichen and Xia Nuan. Ye Sichen pulled his tie and dragged Xia Nuan to the bedroom upstairs directly. She was like a toy puppet lying on the bed.

“Will you die by saying sorry? Why are you so stubborn?” Ye Sichen squeezed her chin.

Xia Nuan patted Ye Sichen’s hand, “Don’t touch me.”

“I need Meng Zuo to work for me now. I can’t ask him to work in depression and unhappiness. These are not conducive to my plan. Why don’t you understand me?” Ye Sichen forced her to look up at him.
