Ye Bolin’s expression suddenly darkened.
This is the Ye Family residence, since when did people from the Chen Family start coming and going as they please?
[Oh hoh, these Chen Family people are really something else, walking in here as if it’s their own home. No wonder the gatekeepers and security guards didn’t dare to stop them—who hasn’t seen Big Brother fawning over Chen Yueyue for so many years.]
Ye Xiao sighed to himself.
Ye Bolin pursed his lips, well aware of the reason behind this, but now when he reflects on those years, he can’t help feeling it was all so worthless.
Chen Feng and Guan Qin failed to notice the sudden quiet that befell the Ye Family members, casually taking their seats as if it was their right. Guan Qin turned to order the servants, “What are you standing around for? Go get the best tea leaves. I want the Dahongpao Tea, you got it? After so many times, do I still need to remind you?”
The servant subconsciously responded.
Ye Mingcheng spoke blandly, “It’s late, no need for tea. We were about to rest. If the two of you have something to say, let’s hear it.”
Chen Feng furrowed his brow and said bluntly, “Old Ye, I don’t want to sound critical, but in a family, only a man can stand tall and upright. Daughters, in the end, are to be married off. I just heard Berlin say that you’re thinking of giving Xingguang Film and Television to Ye Xiao? That doesn’t seem quite appropriate—a woman managing such a big fortune? What is it, did your daughter demand it from you? I know you’ve just found this daughter of yours and perhaps feel like you’ve wronged her in the past and want to make up for it. But there’s a limit to compensation, don’t you think?”
As Chen Feng spoke, he cast a meaningful glance towards Ye Xiao. In his view, all of the Ye Family’s assets should rightfully belong to his precious grandson. Ye Xiao, trying to get a share? Dream on.
Ye Xiao had an utterly baffled look on her face.
What the fuck.
Is this guy sick in the head?
There she was, sitting quietly, and he comes in, dumping on her, every word aimed at her.
Ye Xiao felt that, as the female antagonist, she couldn’t tolerate this!
“Oh, if it isn’t Uncle Chen?” Ye Xiao spoke in a mocking tone.
Chen Feng nodded.
Ye Xiao suddenly sneered, “You know you’re surnamed Chen as well? Do people surnamed Chen get to run their mouths and meddle in the Ye Family’s affairs? Whatever my dad and brother want to give to anyone, it’s their business. If they want to give it to me, I’ll take it. What’s it to you to fart all about it?”
Chen Feng was dumbstruck and suddenly flew into a rage, “You… how can you be so rude.”
Ye Xiao mocked, “Rude I am, but being rude is still better than being shameless, don’t you all agree?”
“Family, is this the daughter you brought back?” Guan Qin looked angrily at Ye Mingcheng, “Coarse and causing trouble for no reason! No wonder Yueyue came home so upset! You Ye Family members had better think this through. There’s still the flesh and blood of Berlin in Yueyue’s belly, the precious grandchild of the Ye Family. Today, I demand an apology from Ye Xiao. If she doesn’t apologize, then this wedding really isn’t happening. And this child, don’t even think about wanting it!”
Clearly, Guan Qin still believed that Berlin announcing the wedding was off was just a spur-of-the-moment outburst.
If they used it as a threat, in the end, they would surely still have to give in.
The Ye Family looked at Chen Feng and Guan Qin as if they were crazy.
So Chen Yueyue didn’t say anything?
They think that because they have a child, they can manipulate the Ye Family at will?
And they want Xiaoxiao to apologize to them? In their dreams!
Before the Ye Family could speak up, Ye Xiao was already going ballistic.
“Apologize to you? You two shameless things, acting like you’re so high and mighty—your daughter must have learned from the best, adopting such a shameless attitude. And you dare talk about the child? If you want the child, feel free to take it and raise it, but don’t dump it on the Ye Family’s doorstep. Here you are, in someone else’s house, ordering people around. I don’t know where you learned such manners. Me, coming from the countryside, even I know that meddling in others’ affairs brings hatred, but you all seem to think your daughter is the Empress Dowager. Never mind that she can’t even enter the door, even if she could, it wouldn’t be your place to act like the head of the Ye Family…”
Ye Xiao ranted non-stop, speaking whatever came to her mind.
Chen Feng and Guan Qin, who had never been confronted so directly, were both somewhat taken aback.
They couldn’t bring themselves to argue back against Ye Xiao.
Chen Feng couldn’t help but turn to look at Ye Mingcheng!
“Old Ye, your daughter is really something. What should we do about today’s issue? Give us a solution,” Chen Feng said with a cold sneer, waiting for Ye Mingcheng to appease him with an apology.
This time, he was determined to make the Ye Family pay dearly before letting the matter rest.
Ye Mingcheng looked at Chen Feng and cracked a slight smile, “Solution? What solution do we need? Hasn’t my daughter already made everything crystal clear? The daughter of the Chen Family, my Ye Family cannot afford to take. The wedding, naturally, does not need to proceed, and as for the child, do whatever you please with it. Whether you abort it or keep it, it has nothing to do with the Ye Family.”
Is this… is this Ye Mingcheng’s attitude?
Chen Feng and Guan Qin couldn’t help but their pupils to shrink, revealing an incredulous expression.
“Berlin, what do you have to say?” Guan Qin looked towards Ye Bolin.
Ye Bolin said calmly, “I think I already made it very clear over the phone. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can go ask your beloved daughter.”
He glanced at a servant standing by and suddenly ordered, “Remember, in the future, if there are visitors at home, you must report to us first before letting them in. If this happens again, you all can stop working for the Ye Family.”
The servant hurriedly acknowledged the command.
Chen Feng and Guan Qin’s expressions turned even uglier.
They are really stepping on their faces now!
What does this mean, if not scolding them for coming uninvited?
Alright, alright, the Ye Family is really something!
If they insist on this attitude, this matter cannot be settled amicably.
Originally, a mere apology from the Ye Family could have resolved the issue, but now, they must kneel and beg to bring Chen Yueyue back in a palanquin.
“Fine, you are very good,” said Chen Feng as he stood up abruptly, “It seems I’ve come here in vain. I hope you won’t regret it in the future.”
“Show them out,” Ye Mingcheng ordered, without lifting his head.
The servant hurriedly stepped forward and gestured them towards the exit.
Chen Feng still cared about saving face and narrowed his eyes, leaving angrily, Guan Qin quickly followed.
Ye Bingtong watched the whole scene, not daring to utter a single word.
In her eyes, the matter of Chen Yueyue’s illegitimate pregnancy originated from her own mouth.
Wouldn’t Chen Feng hate her to death if he discovered the truth in the future?
“Such bad luck,” snorted Ye Mingcheng disdainfully.
“It’s fine to speak our minds. We won’t need to have dealings with them anymore,” said Du Yaru as she peeled another grape for Ye Xiao, “Sweetheart, you must be thirsty after talking so much, right? Next time you encounter such people, don’t bother with them, okay? Let your elder brother take care of it, don’t stress yourself out, my dear.”
Ye Xiao: “…It wasn’t that tiring, really.”
“Listen to your mother,” said Ye Mingcheng, “Don’t help him just because you feel sorry for your elder brother. He is a grown man; he can sort things out on his own.”
Ye Xiao was stupefied.
[Was I scolding people just because I felt sorry for my elder brother? How come I didn’t know that?]
The Ye Family acted as if they hadn’t heard anything, continuing to comfort Ye Xiao.
Just at that moment,
Ye Xiao suddenly froze.
Originally, the plot of the elder brother’s book, except for the final ending, the middle part was already a blank.
But just now, a new section of the plot emerged in the book.
Ye Xiao quickly glanced at it.
Then came a wave of speechlessness.
It could only be said that some people were not scolded wrongly at all.
The Chen Family, they really don’t want a shred of dignity!
