Chapter 2472: Chapter 2472: The Key to Opening the Yu Family Graveyard (Part 4)
Bai Zheng looked up at the slightly embarrassed guard walking quickly towards them, and had already guessed the answer.
"Mr. Bai, Miss Ye has already gone to bed. You should come back another day," the guard said respectfully as he approached.
As expected, Bai Zheng’s expression didn’t change much. After thinking for a moment, he decided not to hand the gift to the guard, but took it with him instead.
Ye Mingmei could avoid him for a day, but she couldn’t avoid him forever.
For three consecutive days, Bai Zheng showed up at the Ye Family Villa like clocking in to work.
But as always, he was turned away at the door.
"Mr. Bai, Mr. Ye said that the young miss has a painting competition these days, so it’s inconvenient to see guests..." the guard gave Bai the same reason for three days and didn’t dare to look him in the eye.
"Are you saying it’s Mr. Ye’s decision?" Bai Zheng’s eyes narrowed, a ghostly light reflecting in them.
"Yes, the young lady is not at the villa." The guard, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, answered hastily.
Bai Zheng’s face stiffened. He immediately turned and left the Ye Family Villa.
Sitting in the car, his handsome face emitted an indescribable chill. His hand on his knee quietly clenched into a fist.
"Mr. Bai, it seems the Ye family is determined not to let you see the young miss. But that shouldn’t be the case. That day we came, Mr. Ye was clearly pleased, allowing you to take the young miss to the amusement park and tacitly approving your pursuit of Miss Ye. Why change his mind so quickly?"
His assistant got into the car, puzzled as he looked at Bai Zheng’s grim face, and fell silent as well.
"He must have guessed my identity," Bai Zheng said quietly, his eyes darkening.
"What?" The assistant froze, then realized what Bai Zheng meant, his eyes widening.
"Mr. Bai, you mean... Ye Zhanxing has already... already recognized you are..." The assistant was so shocked, he stuttered, almost biting his tongue.
"It’s impossible, Mr. Bai. Even if he suspects, Ye Zhanxing has no evidence to prove your identity. The Bai Family’s preparations were flawless. How could he be so certain of your identity?"
"Is evidence necessary?" Bai Zheng smirked coldly, raising his eyes. The deep pupils held an obscure and unclear light. "By preventing me from seeing Meimei, isn’t that his last resort?"
If he were just Bai Zheng, then his focus would only be on Ye Mingmei, and Meimei would be merely an opportunity to pursue Ye Mingmei. Ye Zhanxing blocking the path to Meimei could very well be a test for him. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
However, if he were Yu Xiuzhun, things would be different...
He is Meimei’s biological father. His desire to be close to his daughter wouldn’t escape Ye Zhanxing’s notice. Not letting him see Meimei was equivalent to forcing him.
Forcing him to admit his identity, and he had no chance of winning because the two people he cared about most were in Ye Zhanxing’s hands.
But what does Ye Zhanxing really mean by this?
Is it just to test his feelings for Ye Mingmei, or has suspicion already arisen?
He couldn’t determine Ye Zhanxing’s intentions, so he couldn’t act rashly.
Bai Zheng clenched his fists and closed his eyes.
After a long time, he finally said, "Go to Ye Corporation, give the gift to Ye Mingmei, and tell her I’m inviting her to dinner. See if she agrees."
If he could get the key directly from Ye Mingmei, it would be the most time-saving and effortless approach.
"Yes, I’ll attend to it right away."
The assistant started the car and quickly drove towards Ye Corporation.
