Chapter 1281: What Does "Should" Mean?

Chapter 1281: Chapter 1281: What Does "Should" Mean?

Xu Huizhen, Ye Dezhang, and Ye Ning were placed in a hotel guest room.

The Shengyue hotel rooms, even the standard ones, meet ultra-five-star standards.

Although the three were tied up, their mouths sealed, and were under guard, at least the environment they were in was quite good.

But none of the three had any intention of appreciating the high-priced hotel room at Shengyue for that night.

Xu Huizhen was urgently making muffled cries of "woo woo."

But no one paid attention to her.

Xu Huizhen was tied to a chair.

The chairs in the guest room were heavy, all solid wood.

Plus, it had thick carpeting, which created strong friction.

No matter how hard Xu Huizhen tried, the heavy chair didn’t budge an inch on the carpet.

Xu Huizhen then looked at Ye Dezhang.

Seeing Ye Dezhang also struggling, but still to no avail.

Only Ye Ning, after struggling for a while, finally realized it was in vain and stopped struggling.

Just looking at Ye Dezhang and Xu Huizhen, her eyes were full of accusation.

All directed at Ye Fei.

Look at this!

Ye Fei is heartless.

If not for the blood ties, even if they died, Ye Fei wouldn’t shed a single tear.

Do you still expect her to invite us to the wedding?

Right now, Ye Ning just couldn’t speak.

Otherwise, she would certainly ask Ye Dezhang if he still held any hope for Ye Fei.

***

The guests gradually left, leaving only close friends to treat it as a gathering, eating and chatting without hurrying away.

And those close friends were the people from the Eight Great Families.

The grandmothers gathered to chat, and so did the grandfathers.

Zhao Dinghuan’s generation, those with good relationships, gathered to chat.

Han Zhuoli’s generation also gathered to talk.

It naturally created very distinct separations.

There was no deliberate effort; it just happened naturally, based on feelings, creating a natural and tacit separation.

Zhao Gushen and Ye Fei, the newlyweds, could finally rest a little.

As soon as they left the banquet hall, they saw the manager waiting at the door.

The manager whispered something in Zhao Gushen’s ear.

Ye Fei didn’t hear it.

Zhao Gushen nodded and told Ye Fei, "You go back to the room and rest first; I’ll be there soon."

Ye Fei didn’t ask what was going on, just nodded and followed the staff to a room for resting.

After Ye Fei had been gone for nearly five minutes, Zhao Gushen followed the manager out.

"They’re in here." The manager said as they arrived outside the guest room where Xu Huizhen and the others were.

The three inside heard the manager’s voice from outside.

Exhausted and unable to struggle any longer, Xu Huizhen suddenly found strength and made powerful "woo woo" sounds.

At that moment, they heard the "beep beep" sound of the card opening the door.

All three stared intently at the door.

The manager appeared at the door first but didn’t come in.

He just opened the door and stepped aside.

Looking again, it was Zhao Gushen who came in!

Ye Dezhang got excited too.

What does Zhao Gushen intend to do?

Kidnap them?

Where’s Ye Fei?

Does she just let her husband bully people like this?

Ye Dezhang turned disappointedly and thought, indeed.

Ye Fei would definitely listen to Zhao Gushen.

After all, she relied on Zhao Gushen; how would she dare to have a different opinion?

Maybe she even supports Zhao Gushen’s decision.

Following Zhao Gushen were the people he brought with him.

The manager did not participate, and even called out the Yan Family guards who were originally guarding the place.

This was, after all, Zhao Gushen’s private matter.

Even Yan Beicheng had to avoid suspicion.

Although with their friendship, avoiding suspicion wasn’t necessary.

But they still maintained a sense of propriety.

After the Yan Family guards retreated and Zhao Gushen’s people entered, the manager closed the door.

Suddenly, with so many people coming in, even Xu Huizhen, as shrewd as she was, began to feel scared.

"You... Zhao Gushen, what do you want to do?" Xu Huizhen’s voice trembled, "We are your in-laws!"

Ye Ning became nervous too.

She didn’t believe Zhao Gushen would really dare to commit murder.

Even someone as insidious and ruthless as Zhao Guqing wouldn’t dare to commit murder.

But aside from that, who knows what tricks Zhao Gushen might use against them?

There are countless ways to cause pain.

It’s out of fear of the unknown that Ye Ning began to shake.

She didn’t know Zhao Gushen well, only connected with Zhao Guqing after coming to B City and learned bits and pieces about Zhao Gushen through him and others he contacted.

Like puzzle fragments.

Even jumbled together, they couldn’t form a complete picture, and the pieces didn’t connect.

Just fragments that made no sense to her.

Yet it didn’t stop Ye Ning from feeling afraid of Zhao Gushen.

Zhao Guqing felt foolish to her, but Zhao Gushen felt frightening.

The more unfamiliar one is.

The more fearsome they seem.

"Where’s Ye Fei?" Ye Dezhang asked too.

But he seemed much calmer than Xu Huizhen and Ye Ning.

"Ye Fei doesn’t know you came." Zhao Gushen said, "I didn’t tell her."

"You came planning to make a scene at the wedding, didn’t you?" Zhao Gushen asked.

"No!" Xu Huizhen denied without hesitation, "We just came to attend the wedding!"

"We are obviously her parents, so why weren’t we invited to her wedding?" Xu Huizhen shouted loudly, the more scared she got, the louder her voice, to mask her inner fear.

"We should attend the wedding! Not inviting one’s own parents to a wedding, isn’t that laughable?" Xu Huizhen shouted, "We didn’t intend to cause trouble, just exercising our rights!"

Zhao Gushen didn’t listen to Xu Huizhen’s babbling; instead, he looked at Ye Dezhang.

Receiving Zhao Gushen’s gaze, Ye Dezhang moved his mouth and said, "I just want to know why she didn’t invite me. She’s getting married and should leave from her parents’ home, I, as her father, should walk her down the aisle."

Ye Dezhang said with reddened eyes, "But none of this happened. She’d rather leave from a stranger’s home and not tell me."

"I know, she has a rift with her mom and sister. But does she hate me too? Such a significant event like a wedding, not even a word. I haven’t even seen her in a wedding dress, or her at the wedding, nor received any congratulations."

"I want to know, does she not acknowledge me as her father anymore?" said Ye Dezhang, eyes reddened.

"Should?" Zhao Gushen pondered for a moment on the two words, "What do you mean by should?"

"If we talk about ’should,’ you should have taken care of her, given her a warm home, provided her with the love you were supposed to." Zhao Gushen said.
