Chapter 940 Danger Strikes Again
"Hahaha! I never expected that old bastard Ye Boxiong would actually suffer a stroke from anger. Heaven really has eyes!"
Upon seeing the news, the mysterious man couldn't help but burst into laughter; the outcome far exceeded his expectations.
He originally had neither good nor bad feelings towards the Ye family, but now he has the idea of suppressing the Ye family, and even plans to make Xiao Ran the person in charge of the Ye family.
Once Xiao Ran and he have a son, that child will be the future head of the Ye family, and the entire Ye family will become his.
Not only will Ye Haitao be cuckolded, but he will also have to raise his own son and pass on all the family business inherited from his ancestors to his descendants. Thinking of this, he smiled even more triumphantly.
"The patriarch suffered a stroke and is still in a semi-comatose state?"
Although he was far away in the Maldives, Lao Niu saw the news immediately and was shocked.
But when he saw Xiao Ran calmly and confidently in control of the situation and directing the Ye family members in the video, he instantly realized that the patriarch's illness must be because of Xiao Ran. Just as the patriarch had predicted, Xiao Ran was indeed scheming and had impure motives. Once such a woman became the eldest young mistress of the Ye family, the Ye family would fall into her hands sooner or later.
He was well aware of why Ye Boxiong rejected Xiao Ran, and the thought that there was another man behind Xiao Ran only intensified his hatred for her.
"Miss Xiao, that's great! Didn't you want to marry into the Ye family?"
"When I get back from the Maldives, I won't let you have your way!"
Old Niu watched the news, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.
In his heart, Xiao Ran either had to stay away from Ye Haitao or die; he could not let her become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ye family, otherwise he would be letting down the head of the family, Ye Boxiong.
For Lao Niu, everything Ye Boxiong had was everything to him, and he would do everything in his power to accomplish whatever Ye Boxiong wanted to do.
Looking at the whole world, no one is more loyal to Ye Boxiong than Lao Niu, which is why Ye Boxiong trusts him the most, even more so than Pu Wenliang.
"Xiao Ran is trying to take control of the Ye family's situation as soon as possible!"
Meanwhile, Ji Xiuhan was still completely baffled by Lu Wanqing's inexplicable emotional changes, but he still kept an eye on Xiao Ran's news, sighing inwardly, "I never thought that we, as classmates, would end up as complete adversaries."
Xiao Ran, I really don't want you to marry into the Ye family, and I certainly don't want to become your enemy!
But sometimes I have to admire you; you're so cunning and calculating!
He always knew that Xiao Ran was no ordinary person, and that his intelligence was no less than his own, but deep down he didn't want to stand on the opposite side of Xiao Ran.
If Xiao Ran really marries into the Ye family and becomes the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ye family, they will inevitably become enemies in the future.
He couldn't possibly give up the Ye family, such a lucrative business, and his own ambitious goals for Xiao Ran's sake.
The so-called great families like the Ye family and the Zhu family, which have been passed down for countless years, are merely the foundations laid by their predecessors, not something that existed from the beginning.
Ji Xiuhan's goal is not only to build the world's most powerful economic empire, but also to establish the most prosperous family in history, so that his and Lu Wanqing's descendants can always live a good life under his protection.
All of this is inseparable from the Ye family as a crucial stepping stone.
Time flies, and another day has passed in the blink of an eye.
The Ye family and Xiao Ran remain a hot topic, with related news still firmly on the front page.
Ye Boxiong is still in the hospital, but fortunately he did not remain unconscious and slowly woke up, and did not become a vegetable.
After regaining consciousness, he looked at Ye Haitao, who was curled up by the bedside with his head in his hands, his face full of exhaustion and worry. The anger that had been suppressed in his heart instantly dissipated, leaving only love for his son.
Even though his consciousness has been fluctuating between clear and hazy since yesterday, he clearly remembers that the only person who stayed by his side the whole time and never left was Ye Haitao.
Even his own wife was away from him half the time, not to mention his carefree daughter Ye Haixia, who followed Xiao Ran around like a little tail the whole time.
"The public opinion is in an uproar right now. Even if I forcefully stop Haitao and Xiaoran's marriage, it's simply impossible."
Ye Boxiong thought to himself, "If I oppose it, I will definitely be infamous and attacked by countless people!"
Since this woman insists on marrying Haitao, and Haitao likes her so much, then let her marry into the family.
But after she marries into the family, I must find a way to control her, I absolutely cannot let her gain real power, and I certainly cannot let her ride roughshod over Haitao!
The more he thought about it, the clearer his mind became: "As long as she enters the Ye family, if she makes any unusual moves, it will be very easy for me to deal with her."
The most important thing now is to recover as quickly as possible and not collapse.
Once I fall, the Ye family will be truly finished!
Xiao Ran is definitely a wolf in sheep's clothing, and what's worse, there's a terrifying man hiding behind her.
"No matter who's behind her, once she marries into the Ye family, she'll be in my hands. I doubt she can cause any trouble!"
Ye Boxiong, as expected of a shrewd and capable leader, quickly grasped the situation.
Public opinion can be a powerful force, especially for the head of a large and prestigious family like the Ye family.
Xiao Ran has successfully cultivated an image of being virtuous and capable, and he cannot forcibly dismantle it now; otherwise, it would only give his opponents and hostile forces a handle to attack him.
On the other side, Xiao Ran arranged various matters while closely monitoring Ye Boxiong's movements.
She really hoped that Ye Boxiong would fall into a deep sleep and never wake up, but things didn't go as planned. On the third day, Ye Boxiong opened his eyes and became fully awake.
She sighed inwardly, wishing she could at least keep the old man from getting too angry.
The weather in the Maldives was exceptionally good that day, with a gentle breeze, a moist sea breeze, and bright sunshine—perfect for a day of fun.
For Ji Xiuhan and Lu Wanqing, the most important activity today was underwater swimming.
The scuba diving program is located on a unique island and attracts many tourists every day.
The island's facilities and rescue measures are exceptionally comprehensive. After all, safety is of paramount importance for this type of project. If an accident occurs, other tourists will definitely be deterred, and the business will be completely ruined.
Therefore, "safety first" has become the core principle on the island, and related propaganda can be seen everywhere:
"Swimming underwater and getting up close and personal with marine life!"
"Explore the beautiful coral reefs and unlock a new underwater world!"
"Safe! Absolutely safe! The island is equipped with 200 lifeguards and 30 emergency rescue submarines!"
"Ten years with zero accidents! No drownings and no injuries or fatalities!"
……
With the constant promotional announcements, many adult tourists were tempted.
Let's give it a try!
"I want to see the underwater world and have a close encounter with the ocean!"
Among the crowd, several people were wearing sunglasses, their eyes constantly peering into the distance behind the lenses.
Soon, a luxury cruise ship slowly sailed towards the island; it was Ji Xiuhan's cruise ship.
This cruise ship wasn't purchased by Ji Xiuhan; he chartered it directly, and for the next two weeks, only he and Lu Wanqing could use it.
This is the most luxurious and safest cruise ship in the entire Maldives.
"Prepare according to the pre-determined plan, and no mistakes are allowed along the way!"
A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses looked at the slowly approaching cruise ship and suddenly spoke in a deep voice to the two people in front of him.
