After going downstairs, Ye Xiao thought for a moment and went directly to the building where Xia Mingyue was. At this time, the red Ferrari was downstairs.

Obviously, Xia Mingyue must also be upstairs.

But it was only about 6:40, Ye Xiao wasn't sure if Xia Mingyue had woken up yet, so he decided to go to the entrance of the Tulip District. There was a breakfast shop run by the property management there. After Ye Xiao arrived, he ordered two servings of millet porridge, two scallion pancakes, and some pickles.

Ye Xiao paid for his food and was about to leave with his things, but when he reached the entrance, he noticed a sign that said delivery cost an extra yuan per serving.

Ye Xiao thought that Wang Luoxin and the others probably wouldn't be eating either, so he turned back and told the snack shop to deliver seven breakfasts to Block C, Unit 1, floors 601 and 602.

Of course, Ye Xiao added the extra seven yuan.

After that, Ye Xiao left the snack shop and headed straight to Xia Mingyue's door like he was familiar with the place.

He knocked on the door for quite a while before hearing some movement inside. A somewhat drowsy voice came from inside, asking, "Who is it?"

Ye Xiao said, "It's me, Ye Xiao!"

Inside, when Xia Mingyue heard it was Ye Xiao, she frowned slightly but still went over to open the door with her hands.

At the moment, Xia Mingyue was obviously still not up, wearing a light yellow pajamas. Because the pajamas were rather thin and Ye Xiao's eyesight was first-rate, he easily saw the impressively stunning figure that could leave one dreaming.

Seeing Ye Xiao carrying breakfast, Xia Mingyue glanced at him but found that this guy's eyes were fixed on her chest.

"Have you seen enough?" Xia Mingyue frowned and glared at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao suddenly realized he was being a bit inappropriate, chuckled, and said, "I bought you millet porridge and scallion pancakes."

"Come in!" Xia Mingyue felt a bit chilly; after all, the door was open, and cold wind would gush in. For Xia Mingyue dressed only in pajamas, it was practically like being naked.

Ye Xiao entered, changed shoes, and then, like he was familiar with the place, put the breakfast on the dining table.

"Why did you think of getting breakfast for me?" Xia Mingyue looked at Ye Xiao. She didn't intend to return to her bedroom but stood there looking at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao raised his head, looked at Xia Mingyue with a smile, and said, "I got up early, so I brought it over for you, I haven't eaten either. Don't mind if I eat here, do you?"

"What about your girlfriend? Has she eaten?" Xia Mingyue asked, watching Ye Xiao.

Obviously, Xia Mingyue was referring to Wang Luoxin.

Ye Xiao said, "Probably not yet, she was still sleeping when I came."

"Oh?" Xia Mingyue's eyes filled with suspicion.

Ye Xiao saw Xia Mingyue's expression and immediately knew this girl had misunderstood, so he quickly said, "We really weren't sleeping in the same room."

"Why are you explaining to me? If you need to explain, explain to Coco." Xia Mingyue glanced at Ye Xiao and then walked towards her bedroom.

Coco!

Ye Xiao couldn't help but laugh. Is there really a need?

Seeing Xia Mingyue head back to her bedroom, Ye Xiao sat down at the table and started eating his share. Breakfast is a very good habit, it's good for the stomach.

However, obviously someone wasn't planning on letting him have a good breakfast. Just as Ye Xiao was eating a piece of scallion pancake, the phone rang.

Ye Xiao picked up the phone and looked at the number, then smiled. It was Fu Donglai's number.

Ye Xiao immediately answered the call, smiling and saying, "Hello!"

"Ye Xiao, I've agreed to your terms." Fu Donglai said to Ye Xiao.

Listening to Fu Donglai's words, Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Oh, is that all?"

"Aren't these matters important?" Fu Donglai, hearing Ye Xiao's indifferent tone, became a bit upset.

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "They are important, but they seem only important to you. They don't seem to have anything to do with me."

"Ye Xiao, we're in this together now. If I sink, you'll go down too." Fu Donglai was typically very rational, but for some reason, when speaking with Ye Xiao, he found it hard to keep his cool.

Ye Xiao heard Fu Donglai's words and immediately laughed, saying, "It's too serious. You are you, I am me. Unless you're willing to listen to me, otherwise, ha-ha, I can only say it depends on my mood."

"Ye Xiao, don't go too far!" Fu Donglai recalled the scene half an hour ago in the hall of Fu Mansion, where he and Fu Tianjue staged a dramatic conflict. He even suspected he had gone insane—all for the sake of preventing Fu Tianjue from taking action against Ye Xiao. Yet now, Ye Xiao, the person involved, was acting as if nothing had happened, as if it had nothing to do with him. How could this not make Fu Donglai furious?

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "First of all, don't put on airs as the eldest son of the Fu family in front of me. In my presence, you should only say words like 'yes, okay, no problem.' As for 'no, impossible,' I do not want these words to come from your mouth. Do you understand?"

"You're going too far." Fu Donglai's face was full of anger.

Ye Xiao said, "You won't feel I'm going too far because, in the future, you'll surely think this is the greatest favor to you. I can guarantee that as long as you obey, you'll be the master of the Fu family and have an unparalleled status in Bird City. Of course, if you don't listen, ha-ha, then I believe you'll quickly become the 'patricide' whom everyone in Yan Country wants to attack. Haha, you're a smart person, you understand."

"You..." Listening to Ye Xiao's words, Fu Donglai felt like the sky was collapsing. He suddenly felt as if he had fallen into a huge trap, impossible to escape no matter how hard he struggled. Now, it seemed he could do nothing but obey.

The thing Fu Donglai hated most was obedience, for he had been obeying for more than twenty years, and it seemed as if he was about to completely break free from his confines. Yet, unexpectedly, a new shackle had appeared, and how greatly this affected him, even he couldn't imagine!

Fu Donglai said to Ye Xiao, "Where is the video you mentioned? I want to see it."

Evidently, Fu Donglai did not fully trust Ye Xiao, at least not in the existence of this video.

"I want to eat breakfast now. If there's anything, let's talk another time. Okay, goodbye!" Ye Xiao said this and directly hung up the phone.

Passive!

At this moment, Fu Donglai inside Fu Mansion completely understood the meaning of these two words. Truly passive, he had never been so passive before, but at this moment, he was utterly helpless.

Ye Xiao felt very pleased, for a particularly simple reason—he now had control over Fu Donglai.

Judging from the calls last night and today, Fu Donglai still cared very much about reputation, and he seemed to be quite concerned about the video in Ye Xiao's possession.

Currently in Fu Donglai's mind, the most feared is still that video recording. Even though this video recording has not appeared before Fu Donglai, he does not dare to make any moves as it is now. If Fu Donglai were to actually see it, evidently, he would be even more frightened.

Ye Xiao did not intend not to provide Fu Donglai the video recording, hanging up on Fu Donglai's call just now was deliberate. He wanted to use actions to show Fu Donglai that he was the one in control. If Fu Donglai wanted to know something, he had to obey. Only if Ye Xiao was willing, could Fu Donglai receive it. Ye Xiao also trusted that Fu Donglai would call back immediately.

Sure enough, within two minutes, the phone rang again.

Ye Xiao picked up the phone again, took a look, and it was indeed Fu Donglai's cell number.

Ye Xiao deliberately lowered his voice, "Why are you calling again? Didn't I say I'm having breakfast?"

Fu Donglai didn't get angry, instead he said, "I want to see that video recording. If I don't see the video you mentioned, I'll have to say sorry, I can't fulfill any requests you have."

"It seems you really must watch it?" Ye Xiao chuckled.

"Yes!" Fu Donglai replied.

Ye Xiao said, "Alright then, if you're so eager to see it, I'll send it over to you. But this is on a USB drive, only when I find a computer can I send it over. Send me an email address, and I'll send it directly to your inbox."

This time, Fu Donglai cooperated and gave Ye Xiao an email address.

The call was hung up once again.

Ye Xiao contentedly continued his breakfast.

Meanwhile, at Fu Mansion, Fu Donglai was all mixed up and troubled.

His close confidant, Zhang Quan, looked at Fu Donglai and inquired, "Young master, what did Ye Xiao say? Will he really send that so-called video recording to you?"

Fu Donglai sighed and said, "I really hope he sends it. If it does come, then I'm truly done for."

As Zhang Quan listened to Fu Donglai's words, the sense of helplessness and grievance was evidently on display. There's nothing they could do, even Zhang Quan, who is usually resourceful, was at a loss. He had no idea what to do.

"Will I really have to let him manipulate me forever?" Fu Donglai said unwillingly.

Zhang Quan looked at Fu Donglai sympathetically. After all, Fu Donglai had been raised by him since childhood, not father and son, yet closer than father and son.

Zhang Quan looked at Fu Donglai and said, "What do you plan to do?"

"If I don't see that video recording, I will tell the old man the whole story. I am the only hope of the Fu family now, maybe he won't kill me." Fu Donglai said to Zhang Quan.

Zhang Quan immediately shook his head vigorously, saying, "Young master, you absolutely mustn't. Right now, the Fu family is already in your grasp. If you reveal the truth, the reputation of patricide is small. If the old man becomes furious, he might really kill you. Then it would truly be a lose-lose situation."
