Grandpa Strikes, President Li Fails

Li Zeyuan knelt down.

The living room fell silent at once. Everyone in the Ye Family stared at the scene in disbelief.

The man knelt alone before the entire Ye Family, looking so cold and aloof.

The violent, murderous look in Old Master Ye's eyes grew even fiercer.

That brat actually dared to play on his emotions!

Hmph, he wasn't falling for that.

"If you want to kneel, then kneel. Let's see how long you can keep it up. Hmph! Let's get back to dinner!"

Old Master Ye tossed aside his gun and led the whole family back to the table to continue eating.

The maids came forward one after another and lifted the covers.

They had all served the Ye Family for years and knew Old Master Ye's temperament well. As soon as he had lost his temper, they had brought out the covers and placed them over the dishes on the table.

So the food they had worked so hard to prepare hadn't been soiled by the destructive force of Old Master Ye's gunshots. The exquisite dishes were still steaming.

"Come on, precious Huohuo, let's eat. If he wants to kneel, let him. That's what he gets for setting his sights on our precious girl-"

Old Master Ye picked up some food for his precious Huohuo.

Li Zeyuan knelt in the middle of the Ye Family's living room with his back rigidly straight, his fair, slender fingers curling slightly. His deep black suit gave him an icy aura.

His white collar set off features as beautiful as a painting, making him incomparably handsome. His deep eyes shone with bottomless determination. For Huohuo, he would give up even his life.

Looking at his master's proud, solitary figure from behind, Mu Lan felt a sting in his nose. He walked over and knelt beside him.

His master was the most prestigious young nobleman from a wealthy family in the Capital.

In other people's eyes, the name Li Zeyuan represented ruthlessness and symbolized a noble status.

His master was also a billionaire CEO who could summon wind and rain in the business world.

He usually wore a black suit and traveled with dozens of people accompanying him.

On an ordinary day, he was either in meetings or flying around the world to negotiate deals worth tens of billions.

But now, the man of the most exalted status in Country Z was kneeling in the Ye Family's living room, all for one young girl.

It was easy to imagine how much the CEO doted on Ye Huo.

As far as he was concerned, no other woman could arouse the slightest interest in him.

An actress had once even stripped naked and stood in his hotel's presidential suite to pursue him, but he had remained unmoved and ordered security to throw her out.

Only with this young girl did he dote on her as though addicted.

Mu Lan sighed softly.

This exalted CEO, who stood above everyone and looked down on the world, had set aside his dignity and everything else to kneel for the Ye Family's precious girl. He loved her to such an extent that he truly cared about nothing else-

It showed just how deeply he held her in his heart.

He truly hoped their future young madam would go a little easier on his master.

But who could help it? In a relationship, the one who fell in love first was the one who fell hardest.

It wasn't just Mu Lan. Ye Mo also felt a little sorry for his brother, who usually stood above everyone and could summon wind and rain.

He asked his father, "Dad, aren't we bullying him a little?"

"Tsk, he brought it on himself. It's not like we forced him to kneel!"

Ye Chuan cheerfully picked up food for his precious daughter and wife.

As a man who doted madly on his daughter, anyone who dared take her from him was his enemy.

Even if that brat Li Zeyuan knelt for three days and three nights, he wouldn't feel sorry for him.

Ye Mo was helpless.

His sister was on one side, and his brother on the other.

Although Ye Huo was cold-blooded, she couldn't bear to see Li Zeyuan suffer either.

She took a plate, picked out some fish, and brought it over to Li Zeyuan-

"Ah, Yuanyuan, open your mouth. I'll feed you."

She crouched in front of Li Zeyuan and handed him the chicken soup.

A miraculous scene unfolded.

Li Zeyuan's face had been cold and gloomy just moments before, but the instant he saw Ye Huo, his gaze suddenly softened.

"Okay." President Li answered and obediently accepted the chicken soup Ye Huo handed him, slowly drinking it down.

Seeing this, Old Master Ye coughed and said, "Precious Huohuo, come back here. Pay no attention to that brat."

Ye Huo obediently returned.

After drinking the chicken soup his precious Huohuo had brought him, Li Zeyuan continued kneeling.

His thin lips parted slightly. "Mu Lan, bring in the gifts."

"Yes, young master."

Mu Lan stood up and obediently went outside to order the gifts brought in.

Over a hundred gifts were delivered, including every kind of gold and silver jewelry!

But when Old Master Ye saw them, he flew into a rage.

He flung down his chopsticks and shouted, "Hmph, you think you can lure away my precious granddaughter with this little pile of junk? Dream on!"

The atmosphere grew tense once more.

Ye Huo looked helplessly at Li Zeyuan and said, "Uncle Li, I've seen your sincerity. Go home!"

Honestly, she hadn't expected Li Zeyuan to do so much for her, even going so far as to kneel and beg for her family's approval.

Unfortunately, his family were all obsessed with doting on their daughter.

From her grandfather down to her brothers, none of them would agree to her dating a man at only twenty. Not to mention that Li Zeyuan was a generation older than her.

"Huohuo, I'll never change my mind about what I've set my heart on! I'll never give up on the person I've chosen!"

Li Zeyuan spoke as though it were only natural, without the slightest reluctance, as if this were the most ordinary thing he could do for her.

Though he seemed cold and aloof on the outside, he was especially purehearted. When he fell for someone, he would give her all his affection and favor.

Even if he had to stay on his knees-

Ye Huo was a little touched.

She tucked the long hair beside her ear back with her fingers, warmth filling her heart.

It was the feeling of being held close to a man's heart, treasured above all else, and doted on without limit.

Ye Huo thought, I'd better stop teasing this man so casually in the future.

He took love so seriously that she, a mercenary queen who moved between the worlds of black and white, felt a little embarrassed to make a move.

"Precious Huohuo, don't mind him. If he wants to kneel, let him. He brought it on himself, so who can he blame?"

After dinner, Old Master Ye sent his eldest son, second son, and third son's family away, then ordered the servants to tidy the tables and chairs, clear the dishes and chopsticks, and clean the living room-

Then he took the whole family upstairs to watch a movie with his precious granddaughter.

Laughter rang out upstairs.

Downstairs, the living room lights went out one by one, leaving only a lamp in the corner. Li Zeyuan knelt there pitifully.

He was too single-minded.

Once he fell in love, he was willing to give everything for her.

Even if it cost him his life, he accepted it.

Before going to sleep, Ye Huo looked at the monitor and saw the man kneeling there with his back straight like a statue, outrageously handsome.

She thought that if this man could keep kneeling until the next morning, she would consider her as a potential boyfriend.

In the middle of the night.

Li Zeyuan was still kneeling downstairs. Even though his knees had gone numb, he showed no sign of being unable to carry on.

What a lovesick fool, a true romantic!

Upstairs in the living room, Old Master Ye, Ye Chuan, and Jian Yan were huddled together, secretly discussing something.

"Grandpa, that damned Li Family brat keeps kneeling there. What if our Huohuo falls for him?"

Jian Yan spoke with great concern.

Ye Chuan agreed with his wife. "That's right, Dad. Precious Huohuo is young and doesn't know any better. If that man tricks her away, we won't even have a place to cry-"

"Boo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo... Isn't that the truth? We only got our Huohuo back less than three months ago. I haven't even had my fill of doting on her as her grandpa, and that damned fellow has already come to snatch her away. Hmph! We absolutely can't let them be together!"

Old Master Ye spoke with tears in his eyes.

His greatest wish in life was to stay at home and revolve around his precious granddaughter. He felt that only such a life would leave him without regrets.

His precious granddaughter's eyes were like grapes, dark and sparkling, especially beautiful...

His precious granddaughter's skin was like a peach, rosy and especially beautiful...

His precious granddaughter's hair was like a silk ribbon, black and straight, especially beautiful...

Even a single strand of his precious granddaughter's hair was fragrant.

He hadn't yet had his fill of spending time with his precious granddaughter when an enemy came to snatch her away.

He refused ten thousand times over and was unwilling a million times over.

Ye Chuan and Jian Yan nodded.

They felt the same way.

Money, sure. Their precious Huohuo, no way!

The three of them whispered together for a while and finally decided to act according to plan.

Downstairs, Li Zeyuan, the dignified, cold and aloof domineering CEO, was wholeheartedly kneeling on the icy floor of the hall-

He wanted to use his steadfast strength and his ability to endure hardship to prove to the Ye Family that he could give his precious Huohuo happiness.

Unfortunately, he was still too naive.

In the darkness, three figures approached him step by step-

"Grandpa, Uncle, Auntie, what are you going to do..."

Li Zeyuan looked up and asked in confusion.

"Heh heh heh, of course we're going to kill you. Then no one will take our precious Huohuo from us."

The three of them wore sinister, extremely fierce expressions.

At that moment, for the sake of their precious daughter, the three of them formed an unbreakably solid alliance.

Li Zeyuan's heart skipped a beat, and all the blood in his body instantly ran cold.

Were the Ye Family really this ruthless?

Was he going to die here?

The next second, there were three sounds: thud, thud, thud-

Old Master Ye, Jian Yan, and Ye Chuan each brought a bottle of red wine down on the man's head almost simultaneously, knocking Li Zeyuan unconscious.

The rich aroma of red wine instantly filled the living room, and the man's black suit was stained with wine.

"Well, Huohuo's grandpa, were our expressions fierce enough just now? We must have scared that fellow, right?"

"That's right. He probably won't dare pursue our precious Huohuo again, will he?"

"Hmph, this was just a lesson for him. I doubt he'll dare come to our Ye Family home again! Go call his subordinate in and have him carry this fellow home!"

Old Master Ye spoke with a grin.

Wonderful! Now that damned brat wouldn't dare compete with him for his precious granddaughter!

Ye Chuan obediently followed his father's orders and trotted happily outside to call someone in to carry him away.

And so Li Zeyuan was carried out and sent back to the Li Family.

As the car slowly pulled away, Mu Lan, who was driving, looked at his CEO lying in the back seat, blood flowing from his struck forehead, and sighed. "President Li, President Li, of all the people you could have fallen for, you had to choose the Ye Family's precious girl. They have more than twenty brothers in that family. You'll have plenty to suffer from now on!"
