At the Yu Family Mansion.
Yu Wenbai came downstairs with his cane. He was wearing navy pajamas and a Chinese tunic suit. He had obviously just fallen asleep. "Why are you here so late?"
Yu Meiqi got up and helped Yu Wenbai to the sofa. "I'm here to see you."
Yu Wenbai glanced at Yu Meiqi. He obviously didn't believe her. "Tell me, what do you want me to help you with?"
Yu Meiqi didn't feel embarrassed about being exposed. After helping Yu Wenbai sit down, she handed him the tea that the housekeeper had just served. "Do you know that Shen Jiuyan is ill?"
Yu Wenbai took the teacup and touched the floating tea leaves with the lid. "I know. What's wrong?"
"Without a leader, the Black Dragon Gang is now in a panic. Many old people don't like Shen Tingxi and want to replace him. Now is the time when Shen Tingxi is in a terrible fix. If our Yu Family …"
"You want to take advantage of the situation and force Shen Tingxi to marry Nana?" Yu Wenbai raised his eyebrows and looked at Yu Meiqi.
Yu Meiqi said, "Dad, he ruined Nana's innocence first. This is an opportunity. We have to let him know that the Yu Family is not easy to bully."
Yu Wenbai lowered his eyes to hide his expression. He lowered his head and took a sip of tea. "Shen Tingxi is not as easy to deal with as you think. Don't provoke him."
"Dad." Yu Meiqi frowned. "If he doesn't bully Nana, how can I provoke him? You know that Nana almost committed suicide a few days ago. She's your granddaughter. You can't just watch her die, right? "
Yu Wenbai was angry when he heard this. He was about to arrange a blind date for Yu Anna, but Yu Meiqi called and said that Yu Anna held a fruit knife to her neck and said that she wouldn't marry anyone except Shen Tingxi. If they forced her, she wouldn't live anymore. "She's so desperate for a man. If word gets out, our Yu Family will lose face. If she does such a shameful thing again in the future, don't stop her. "
"Dad, don't say such angry words. You know Nana's personality. She has been spoiled by us since she was a child. She can get whatever she wants. She can't take it and might really commit suicide."
Yu Wenbai snorted. "Isn't it all because you spoiled her?!"
Who was the one who spoiled his granddaughter so much? She always said that girls needed to be pampered. Now, it was all her fault?
Yu Meiqi only said this in her heart, but she kept saying, "Yes, yes, yes, I spoiled him. But now that things have come to this, you should think of a way to help Nana. Now that the Shen Tingxi family is in such a state, it's a good opportunity to negotiate. I believe that Shen Tingxi also knows his situation. If the Yu family makes a move at this time, he will definitely die."
Yu Wenbai lowered his head and sipped his tea without saying a word.
Yu Meiqi continued to persuade, "Dad, Nana has been locking herself up at home every day. I'm worried that she'll take things too hard. Yiqing is still recuperating in the hospital after his operation. I'm really exhausted from running around every day. Can you take pity on your daughter?"
Yu Wenbai said, "Let me think about it."
Yu Meiqi saw that Yu Wenbai was showing signs of relenting and was overjoyed. She wanted to strike while the iron was hot and persuade him once and for all. "Dad, you can't miss this opportunity. If you miss it, it won't come again. This …"
Halfway through Yu Meiqi's words, the landline in the living room rang. She happened to be sitting beside the phone, so she could only stop talking and pick up the phone. "Hello."
"Let Mr. Yu answer the phone."
Yu Meiqi heard the voice on the other end of the phone and felt that it sounded familiar. "Are you Shen Tingxi?"
"Yes."
Yu Meiqi hurriedly covered the phone with her hand and turned to look at Yu Wenbai. She whispered, "Dad, Shen Tingxi. You can tell him about Nana."
Yu Wenbai got up and sat on the sofa on the other side of the desk where the landline was placed. He took the phone from Yu Meiqi and put it to his ear. "I'm Yu Wenbai."
"Mr. Yu, take good care of your daughter. If she dares to threaten my people again, don't blame me for not giving you face. I told you last time that I hate being threatened. Don't force me to reveal all of Mu Yiqing's dirty deeds. If that happens, you won't be able to keep your face, right?"
Yu Wenbai glanced at Yu Meiqi, who was sitting on the sofa opposite the desk and staring at him. They were so far apart that he knew she couldn't hear Shen Tingxi's words, but he still moved his body to the side quietly. "I heard that your dad is sick. Is he better?"
How could Shen Tingxi not understand the meaning behind Yu Wenbai's words? He immediately replied, "Even if the old man is dead, I'm not afraid. What do you think those old foxes in the gang can do to me? I just don't want to fall out with them. After all, who wants to see knives and guns when they can live a good life? What do you think, Mr. Yu? "
The dominance and indifference in Shen Tingxi's words, as well as the cruelty and ruthlessness in his bones, made Yu Wenbai's heart turn cold.
Without waiting for him to speak, Shen Tingxi continued, "People like me who live on the edge of a knife never care about life and death. But Mr. Yu, aren't you afraid of losing your reputation? I advise you to think about the consequences before you do anything. Can you bear the consequences? "
Yu Wenbai's heart was blocked by Shen Tingxi's words, and his face darkened. Shen Tingxi was telling him that even if he joined forces with those old men in the Black Dragon Gang to deal with Shen Tingxi, Shen Tingxi wasn't afraid. At worst, they would fight and die. But Shen Tingxi would expose Mu Yiqing's deeds before he died and ruin the Yu family's reputation.
This was a blatant threat, but he couldn't refute it. Shen Tingxi could risk his life, but he couldn't disregard the Yu family's reputation and face.
Yu Wenbai suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a cold voice, "Is there anything else?"
The person on the other end didn't reply and hung up.
Yu Wenbai almost couldn't breathe. No quality, no upbringing, a gangster will always be a gangster. What else can he do other than threaten?!
Seeing that Yu Wenbai hung up, Yu Meiqi hurriedly said, "Dad, why didn't you say that just now …"
"Say what?" Yu Wenbai shouted coldly.
"Nana's marriage. Why didn't you take advantage of this time …"
"I said last time that you're not allowed to mention this again. Did you turn a deaf ear to my words?"
"Dad …"
Yu Wenbai got up and walked towards the stairs with his cane. "It's late. I'm going to sleep."
"Dad …"
"Go back!" Yu Wenbai said without turning his head.
Yu Meiqi looked at Yu Wenbai's back thoughtfully. She could feel that Yu Wenbai had wavered just now. He said that he would consider it, but after receiving Shen Tingxi's call, his attitude changed completely. Could it be … "Dad, do you have something that Shen Tingxi can use against you?"
