Chapter 1352 (Better Off Without This Kind of Father!)
Chapter 1352 (Better Off Without This Kind of Father!)
Ye Juetian, consumed by anger, spoke without thinking, saying whatever came to mind... He didn't realise how hurtful his words were.
Gong Yue was stunned, her delicate body trembling slightly. "Am I... am I this kind of woman in your eyes?"
"You persecuted Yi Yi back then. I thought you had changed, but over these years, you're still the same! How long do you want to hide it from me? Tell me!"
Smack!
A crisp sound echoed through the street. Gong Yue covered her cheeks, her mind going blank... The burning pain on her face shattered her heart...
Even though Ye Juetian had never hit her before, today...
"Mother!" A fierce and tender voice suddenly rang out.
A fierce aura immediately enveloped Ye Yi's body. Seeing his mother's distress, Ye Yi was enraged... How dare that unfamiliar father hit his mother! ‘What right did he have to hit my mother, even if he's my father!’
His little fist struck directly at his biological father!
The punch landed solidly on Ye Juetian's cheek, but Ye Yi's strength was too small. Even in his rage, he couldn't shake Ye Juetian at all. He fell to the ground.
"Yi'er." Gong Yue saw her son fall and hurriedly embraced him.
"Mother..."
Ye Juetian's chest heaved up and down, his anger still not dissipating. "Get lost! I never want to see you again!" With that, he disappeared on the spot, leaving the mother and son alone in desolation.
Hearing Ye Juetian's heartless words, Gong Yue's heart broke... After waiting so many years, she had never expected to hear such words...
What did I do wrong?
"Mother, let's go. Let's leave here." Ye Yi never dared to say this before, knowing his mother was waiting for his father. But what's the point of staying with such a heartless father?! Can't we live without him!
At that moment, Gong Yue's heart seemed to die... All hope was extinguished by Ye Juetian's words.
Meng Li looked at Gong Yue and the child beside her, her expression extremely complicated.
Ye Yi led his mother away from the Imperial Palace of the Voidless Empire. Where they went afterward, no one knew...
As the people involved left, those around them went crazy. Gossip spread like wildfire throughout the Voidless Empire.
There were even many different versions of the story.
Some said the emperor's brother was having an affair, claiming it was true love.
Others claimed the emperor's brother abandoned his wife and children for a mistress, witnessed by many.
There were many versions, as if the dignity of the royal family of Wu Xu had been completely lost, becoming nothing more than a topic for people's idle chatter.
Originally, it was thought that the royal family of Voidless would not be involved in any messy affairs, but never did they expect that, like any other empire, they would also experience such melodramatic plots, truly lamentable.
At this moment, Ye Juetian went directly to find Ye Hua. His older brother must know something. His brother wouldn't lie to him, and Yi Yi couldn't possibly be dead! She's so kind, how could she die?!
No, she couldn't!
She definitely wouldn't!
These people are all lying to me!
What does it mean when it rains, it pours? This might be exactly what it means, both brothers encountering such situations.
Ye Juetian quickly arrived at his brother's palace. Ye Hua sat in his chair, smoking with a grim expression on his face.
Under normal circumstances, Ye Juetian wouldn't dare to offend his brother at this time.
But this was about Yi Yi. Ye Juetian had to ask. In his heart, this was more important than anything else.
You could also say that the current Ye Juetian was a product of impulsiveness, a result of losing his rationality.
In any situation with a bit of rationality, he wouldn't do something like abandoning his wife and children.
After all, Ye Juetian had been through so much, all for Yi Yi. He was willing to help Yi Yi whenever she was in trouble. But the news of Yi Yi's death was something Ye Juetian couldn't accept at all.
Ye Hua looked at his angry brother rushing in, gave him a brief glance, and then withdrew his gaze.
"Brother!" Ye Juetian demanded in a deep voice.
"What are you doing?" Ye Hua asked coldly. The relationship between the two brothers suddenly became eerie. One dared to get angry, and the other dared to hit people.
But before Ye Juetian could answer, Qing Yutong and Qian Yuqing returned. Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi didn't come back; they went to Le Jing’s palace. How could a mother let them go without a word?
Qing Yutong and Qian Yuqing noticed that something was wrong as soon as they entered. It seemed like these two brothers were about to fight. What was going on?
"Did Yi Yi die?" Ye Juetian questioned.
As soon as Qing Yutong and Qian Yuqing heard about Yi Yi, they seemed a bit surprised. How could Little Tian know about Yi Yi's death? That shouldn't be possible, right? Did Gong Yue tell him? That doesn't make sense; Gong Yue shouldn't have told him this news.
How did Little Tian find out?
"Yes! She's dead!" Ye Hua said coldly. He was already extremely frustrated. Why talk about this at a time like this?
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"What's the use of telling you? Would telling you bring Yi Yi back to life?"
"Then why didn't you go save Yi Yi?"
Ye Hua suddenly stood up, his eyes as cold as frost. This made Ye Juetian instinctively step back.
Qing Yutong and Qian Yuqing felt something was wrong and quickly stepped forward to stop them. "Don't fight, you two brothers..."
If Ye Hua could save her, of course, he would go save Yi Yi. But he couldn't save her... In this matter, Ye Hua also felt a bit guilty, feeling that he had let Yi Yi down.
But his brother's questioning seemed to imply, "Big brother, aren't you capable? Why couldn’t you even save a woman?"
This angered Ye Hua!
"Ye Juetian! Who this deity saves or not is none of your business! If this deity doesn't save someone, it's not your place to point fingers!" Ye Hua pointed at Ye Juetian, feeling the urge to act.
Ye Hua was not the type to explain himself. He didn't explain things to Qing Ya and the others just now, and now he wouldn't explain much either.
Upon hearing his elder brother's words, Ye Juetian's expression darkened even more. It seemed like his elder brother was implying that he didn't try to save her.
Just as Ye Juetian was about to erupt in anger, Wei Chang suddenly walked in. "Your Highness, there's something I must report," he said, glancing at Ye Juetian beside him.
Ye Hua said in a deep voice, "Whatever it is, it can wait for another day!"
"Your Highness, it might be better to hear it first before making a decision."
Ye Hua took a deep breath. "Speak."
Wei Chang approached Ye Hua, whispered a few words, then stepped back.
Ye Hua's expression grew even more solemn, causing Qing Ya and Qian Yuqing to worry. What exactly did Wei Chang just tell him?
Ye Hua walked towards Ye Juetian, his gaze carrying a dark intensity.
