Chapter 41: But…?
"But…?" Ye Shun was really happy when he heard that his daughter was willing to come and eat meals with him every day. However, upon hearing that she had a request, his heart tightened.
What if Luo Huian asked him to bring her back to the Luo family? Even though he was the official husband and patriarch of the Luo family, he did not have much power in his hands.
Not to mention Luo Yeqing did not like him too either, even if he were to bring up the matter of bringing Luo Huian back to the family ——it would only take a few words from Qin Qiu and Luo Yeqing would ignore his request.
Not to mention the mistake that Luo Huian made was a big one.
"Don't worry it's not too hard," Luo Huian took a sip of the tea and frowned. She did not know that the taste of tea in this world had degraded to this point, the tea in the immortal realm was so good that one would want to have three to four cups of tea alone.
'Here I can't even stomach one cup of tea,' Luo Huian thought bitterly as she placed the teacup on the table. If only she knew that the tea brewed by Ye Shun was considered the best in the city as he was raised in a scholarly family and had learned all sorts of arts.
"Th…Then you can tell me. If it's nothing too big then I will try my best to do it for you," Ye Shun was not courageous and bold like Qin Qiu but for Luo Huian, he was willing to give it his all.
Even if she were to ask him to bring her back to the Luo family, he might try to do his best. As for what would happen or whether Luo Yeqing would accept his request, he had no idea about it.
Luo Huian more or less understood what was going on in Ye Shun's head but she did not say anything. She simply took a bite of her cake and nodded while relishing how delicious it was.
Only then did she part her lips and say, "I want you to take back everything that belongs to you."
Though Luo Huian did not know the dynamics of many things in the Luo family, she knew one thing—— Qin Qiu came from a small family and was not rich as he was the son of a servant of the Luo family.
However, the way he carried himself and the way he spoke and talked was rather different for a child who came from a servant's family.
Not to mention the ring that he was wearing today was not only an antique but it probably cost more than a billion yuan as per the currency of this time.
How could a mer from a small family afford such a thing? Unless he was leeching off something that did not belong to.
Given that Qin Qiu had a smooth tongue that was sharp enough to cut through someone's heart, Luo Huian had a feeling that there was a reason why Ye Shun was in this pessimistic situation.
"Huian, that——"
"I understand that you lack confidence to take control and you also seem to be lacking the intelligence to make a decision but how long are you going to continue like this?" She asked sharply. "Mister Ye, being a coward and relying
on a woman all your life will not help you. Do you know why Luo Qingling's position is so strong and mine is not?"
Ye Shun couldn't answer that question as he was worried that he would hurt Luo Huian's self-esteem.
Of course, Luo Huian knew what was going on in his head. She sighed and said, "Mister Ye, it seems like you are not aware of this but when I came back none of the servants greeted me nor did they serve me a glass of water."
No sooner did she finish saying this, than the servants in the greenhouse stiffened. They did not expect that Luo Huian who had suffered through many grievances in the past would suddenly bring up the matter of getting bullied by the servants.
"What's wrong? Wasn't she too prideful to admit that she was getting bullied?" One of the mer servants questioned the servant standing next to him.
However, the other mer had no time to worry about such a thing. He turned to look at the servant who questioned him and snapped, "Is this the time to worry about this? Now that she had brought up this matter we can only wait to get fired."
"What did you say?" Ye Shun did not expect such a thing to happen, his gaze swept at the servants behind him who lowered their heads at once.
What else did Ye Shun need to know? They were clearly guilty!
"Why did you not tell me such a thing?" When Ye Shun thought about how his daughter was getting bullied right under his nose, he was filled with anger and resentment towards himself.
How useless was he that even the servants were bullying his daughter?
"What's the point of telling you something like this?" Luo Huian shrugged as she looked at Ye Shun. "Unless you take back the power that belongs to you, what can you do?"
Luo Huian looked at Ye Shun and then stated calmly, "Mister Ye, I am not asking you to fight a bloody battle for shares for me but I am only asking you to take back what belongs to you."
"Turning a blind eye to everything just because your wife adores another mer will never solve the issue," stated Luo Huian as she firmly pressed the matter in front of Ye Shun. "A mer with no power is leeching off your strength and suppressing your daughter. How long are you going to ignore this? Unless you take control of your business and properties, how can you even protect me?"
Ye Shun lowered his head upon hearing Luo Huian's words and clenched his fingers.
