Chapter 2359: Chapter 163: The Reserved Big Brother’s Woman
If it weren’t for Feng Yize and those two girls, Ji Guoguo and Ji Zichen might not have survived.
In the afternoon, Ji Anyun spoke with her father on the phone, and he instructed her to express her gratitude to their saviors.
Tang Jinchen looked at Ye Zhan.
Ye Zhan’s expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, “They didn’t save the children because they wanted your gratitude.”
Ji Anyun’s eyes behind her glasses showed a hint of surprise.
Thinking of something, she immediately asked, “Do you know those two girls? I know they didn’t save Guoguo and Zichen for our gratitude, but they are the saviors of my niece and nephew, benefactors of our family. I promised my dad, so please do let me know.”
“Let’s talk about it when Guoguo wakes up.”
Ye Zhan contemplated his response.
It was too late at that moment, even if he gave the phone numbers to Ji Anyun, it would be inappropriate for her to call and disturb them.
Besides, Momo needed rest.
Ji Anyun also felt that there was no rush.
Smiling, she said, “Alright, just remember to tell me later.”
Since Ji Anyun was the only one in the ward, Ye Zhan and the others didn’t linger much longer. After expressing their care and learning about Ji Guoguo’s situation, they left the ward.
They then went to the floor where Shi Dongliang was staying.
Outside the ward, there were guards every three steps, and sentries every five steps.
The defense was tight, giving no one any chance to act.
Upon leaving the hospital, Tang Jinchen mentioned he hadn’t had dinner and asked Ye Zhan if he had eaten.
Ye Zhan hadn’t eaten either, Feng Yi Ze and Chu Jun had, but they loyally agreed to accompany them for a meal.
Since their family ran a restaurant, there was no need to let others earn their money.
Thus, the four of them went to their own restaurant.
As soon as they entered the private room, Feng Yize took off his jacket, pulled out a chair, and plopped down, letting his whole body sink into the chair as if it had no bones.
“Spending the entire afternoon in the hospital was exhausting.”
“You dare to say you’re tired.”
Chu Junming gave him a glare and then gestured to him with his eyes.
Feng Yize’s previously weary face turned serious instantly, and he said to Ye Zhan, who sat opposite him, “Big brother, I solemnly apologize to you, this afternoon was my fault…”
——
Shi Family.
From the study room on the second floor came the sound of things being swept to the ground.
In the stairwell, Shi Xi tread lightly.
She glanced left and right, seeing no one.
She hesitated for a moment, then gently approached the study room, listening to her father, Shi Dongping, cursing viciously, “Ye Zhan, Tang Jinchen, Mo Ziye… just you wait.”
Shi Xi’s heart skipped a beat.
She listened for a few more seconds, hearing no more words from Shi Dongping.
She turned to leave quietly, stepping as lightly as she had when approaching.
But just as she took two steps, the door to the study was suddenly opened from behind.
“Xiao Xi, what are you doing here?”
Shi Xi’s heart felt like it stopped for a moment.
Turning back, she looked calmly at Shi Dongping, “Dad, I wanted to ask how uncle’s condition is.”
“Really?”
Shi Dongping’s sharp gaze scrutinized her.
He didn’t believe her words.
“Really.”
Shi Xi lowered her eyes, lightly bit her lip, and looked up again, tears welling up in her eyes, “I was too foolish before, only thinking I couldn’t let the man I liked die, without considering what consequences it would bring to our family…”
As she spoke halfway, tears began to fall.
As an actress, she was most skilled at acting, “I don’t resent uncle for wanting to kill me. Now that he’s a wanted man and has been captured while injured, it will surely affect our family too. Dad, why don’t you just shoot me, I’m the disgrace of the Shi family.”
Shi Dongping’s chest heaved a few times, suppressing his anger.
Disappointed that she couldn’t meet his expectations, “You only thought about your feelings for Mo Ziye, without considering that he didn’t even like you. Have you forgotten how I taught you since you were young? If you want something, either take it for yourself or destroy it. Never let it benefit others.”
“I understand.”
Shi Xi wiped her tears with her hand, her slender shoulders trembling slightly with sadness and remorse.
Shi Dongping’s anger dissipated somewhat in her remorseful demeanor.
He said heavily, “Go to sleep. Tomorrow evening I’m treating Sun Guotao to dinner, you’ll come with me.”

After finishing her skincare routine and washing her face, Momo had just lain down when a WeChat message came in.
She didn’t need to open it, the content was displayed on the screen.
She blinked and tapped into the WeChat interface.
It was a message from Feng Yize: [Sister Momo, I’m really sorry for what happened this afternoon, I apologize to you.]
After thinking for a moment, she replied: [What are you apologizing for, it’s not like you were holding us hostage.]
[My big brother scolded me fiercely, saying I didn’t protect you well.] Feng Yize added a few dejected emojis after his words.
The thought of him acting all pitiful, combined with the memory of that beggar drawing, brought a smile to Momo’s lips.
[He’s the one with issues; don’t pay him any mind. I don’t blame you.]
When he was harsh with her in the afternoon, she was mad at him.
She deeply felt that if it hadn’t been for her and Qingqing catching Shi Dongliang off guard… Ye Zhan might really have hurt himself under Shi Dongliang’s threat.
The way he coldly and decisively pointed the gun at his own arm.
Even if they made a mistake, wasn’t everything fine in the end?
What right did he have to be angry with her?
Moreover, when he came in the evening, he didn’t even get out of the car before leaving again.
The more she thought about it, the more irritated she became. Momo regretted not taking the opportunity to scold him more. Even if Feng Yize wasn’t with Ye Zhan right at that moment, they were sworn brothers, and he would surely relay it to him.
[Sister Momo, you’re the best. My brother really has issues, sulking all night with a scowl.]
Before Feng Yize could send the message, the door to the private room opened.
Ye Zhan, who had stepped out to take a call, walked in with his tall figure.
His gaze moved over Feng Yize’s face, which bore a guilty expression, and the phone in his hand. His eyebrows quivered slightly.
“What have you done?”
Chu Junming and Tang Jinchen exchanged a silent smile.
Just now, Feng Yize had proudly told them that Momo, like him, thought their brother had issues and was not normal.
“What could I have done? Big brother, you’re just picking on me tonight.”
Feng Yize tried to divert Ye Zhan’s attention.
Taking the chance to put away his phone.
However, how could his speed match Ye Zhan’s?
In the next second, his phone was in Ye Zhan’s hands.
Feng Yize’s face fell, “Were you raised by bandits?”
Ye Zhan ignored him, opened his WeChat interface, and his gaze fell on the chat they were having.
Before he could even read the chat content, his face darkened due to the remark in Feng Yize’s contact list.
Flamboyant Brother’s Woman!!
Feeling the sudden chill filling the room, Tang Jinchen and Chu Junming exchanged a glance and couldn’t help but lean forward to see.
“Big brother, uh… you can’t take out your anger on me just because sister-in-law said you have issues…”
Seeing Ye Zhan suddenly look over, Feng Yize swallowed his following words in fright.
He immediately lowered his head, not daring to meet his gaze.
“Change that remark.”
After a long moment, Ye Zhan threw the phone onto the table.
