Chapter 1248: Chapter 1248: Aloof Competition for Favor (6)

“Let’s wait a bit longer,” Su Hongxing gently patted Qiao Qiao’s shoulder, consoling her.

Her intuition was that Ye Xiandong was very likely in trouble.

Ye Xiandong’s leg hadn’t fully healed, so it was unlikely for him to be fooling around at this time. Even if he had spent the night with some woman, by now, he should have shown up.

Not being able to find Ye Xiandong anywhere probably meant something had indeed happened.

If Ye Xiandong had really gone missing, she suspected it had something to do with the person behind the scenes.

Ye Qilan “died,” Ye Yanhong also died, Ye Shiqing resigned, and now Ye Xiandong’s disappearance at this time seemed quite normal, didn’t it?

Perhaps the person orchestrating all this wanted the Ye Family to end without a lineage?

By evening, when nobody could get in touch with Ye Xiandong, everyone more or less had a clue. Without accidents, Ye Xiandong had indeed encountered trouble.

As for what kind of trouble, there was no trace to follow.

In any case, the situation didn’t seem too optimistic.

At eight o’clock in the evening, Qiao Qiao received another call from Xia Yu. Xia Yu cried on the phone to her, and after ten minutes of comforting her and hanging up, Qiao Qiao felt exhausted.

Su Hongxing handed her a cup of hot tea: “Stop thinking about it for now, you’re in the middle of separating from Ye Xiandong anyway, even if he’s missing, you don’t need to take the responsibility upon yourself.”

Qiao Qiao took a sip of tea and sighed softly, “What exactly is going on with the Ye Family? None of them have had a good end. I really don’t understand, how much that person behind the scenes hates the Ye Family, to make every male in the Ye Family end up dead or disabled.”

Su Hongxing looked thoughtfully at Ding Ye, who was sipping tea on the side. Since the news of Ye Xiandong’s disappearance broke, his reaction had been very calm, as if the disappearance of Ye Xiandong was an ordinary event. Or perhaps, this man had foreseen Ye Xiandong’s disappearance?

Without him speaking, she didn’t know whether she should clarify things.

Now, she could hardly resist. She went to sit next to Ding Ye, “Is the tea good?”

“Barely palatable,” Ding Ye replied indifferently.

“The sudden disappearance of Ye Xiandong, do you think he’s in danger?” Su Hongxing cut straight to the heart of the matter.

Ding Ye glanced at Qiao Qiao, “The worst outcome would be Qiao Qiao becoming a widow, not something new.”

Qiao Qiao came back to her senses and looked at Ding Ye, feeling that this man’s words were too cruel, as if death was a commonplace matter to him.

“I’m being serious with you. In your estimation, who might have taken Ye Xiandong away, could Ye Xiandong be dead?” Su Hongxing persisted.

“Ever heard the saying disaster lasts for a thousand years? He didn’t die in that car accident, he won’t die so easily this time either. Even if he’s dead, it’s no big loss to anyone, at most Mr. Ye would spit up a few more mouthfuls of blood,” Ding Ye stated, picking up his tea cup and walking away.

Watching his tall figure, Su Hongxing sensed that Ding Ye’s words had a deeper meaning. Was he implying that Ye Xiandong’s disappearance was targeted at Mr. Ye?

After that, Qiao Qiao returned to normal, seemingly having come to terms with the situation.

By the next morning, Ye Xiandong was still missing, with no one able to contact him.

Qiao Qiao was fine during breakfast. After Su Hongxing finished her breakfast and was about to make sure Little Pudding ate faster, Qiao Qiao suddenly exclaimed in alarm, “It’s over!”

Little Pudding, who was submerged in eating his porridge, also got startled, staring at Qiao Qiao with big round eyes: “Auntie Qiao, you nearly scared me to death!”

Looking at the adorable Little Pudding, Su Hongxing deeply agreed; she too was startled by Qiao Qiao.
