Ch. 301..310
Chapter 301 Going to take Revenge Ye Shuangyin saw Ye Chuyi laughing like that, quickly retreated two steps, and distanced herself a bit from her, “What’s wrong with her? Has she gone crazy with joy?”
Ye Ziran gave her a look as if she were an idiot, “If your eyes are useless, donate them to someone in need. Does she look happy to you? With twenty-six years of her life stolen, would you be happy?”
Ye Shuangyin pouted her lips, “Then why is she laughing? Like a lunatic, it’s terrifying.”
Ye Ziran didn’t bother with her anymore. He looked at Ye Chuyi’s pale face and her tears, and sighed.
He had seen her several times before, and each time she was the picture of composure and serenity. Sometimes he would deliberately provoke her, and she never took it to heart. Her emotions were so stable it was almost uncharacteristic of someone her age, more like a monk who had been practicing for a hundred years. He couldn’t imagine how many times that couple had beaten and tortured her to forge such a strong heart.
Each time he confronted her, she was unscathed, but he would end up feeling the hurt inside.
This was the first time he had seen Ye Chuyi emotionally breakdown, the first time he had seen her cry.
However, her emotional collapse didn’t last very long.
Soon she raised her hand, wiped away the tears, and turned to walk outside.
Ye Zhengrong called out to her in a hurry, “Chuyi, where are you going?”
Ye Chuyi didn’t look back, “To take revenge, Uncle.”
After she spoke, she opened the front door of the living room.
Outside, lightning streaked across the pitch-black night sky, illuminating her pupils.
The thunderous sound tore through the rain curtain, booming through the sky and deafening.
The wind and rain blended, and all the plants and trees outside were swaying as if welcoming a true god reborn from fire, screaming wildly for her.
Ye Chuyi walked into the rain, got into her car, and drove towards the Wen Family.
Half an hour later, she reached her destination.
The lights of the villa were on, warm and inviting, just as they always had been.
Ye Chuyi stood in front of the door, watching that light, remembering how she had stood there many times as a child, secretly watching the light inside.
Back then, she envied Wen Nianyou for having that light, while she could only watch from afar. Sometimes, if she lingered too long, Lin Yueqin would come out and kick her away, driving her off.
She never knew that the light was originally hers.
A black SUV pulled up and four burly bodyguards in suits stepped out.
One of the bodyguards held an umbrella over Ye Chuyi’s head and asked respectfully, “Boss, I am the head of the bodyguards, Chen Xi. What do you need?”
“Chen Xi, open this door. I need to go in, but don’t make too much noise.”
“Yes!”
“Disable the surveillance.”
“Yes!”
On the way driving over, Ye Chuyi had called Ivy, asking him to send some bodyguards over.
Before, she used to come here alone, but now, she wasn’t going to be that foolish.noveldrama
Moments later, the bodyguard reported, “Boss, it’s done.”
Ye Chuyi stepped into the villa.
Perhaps they had already seen her on the surveillance and witnessed them destroying it because as soon as she entered, Lin Yueqin, holding an umbrella, rushed over.
“Why are you here again? Who let you in? Dare to bring people with you?! Don’t you know what this place is? Is this somewhere you can just enter? Get out!”
Ye Chuyi looked at her, coldness in her eyes.
She thought to herself, such an evil, inhumane creature could not possibly be her mother.
She had fantasized countless times about being Lady Wen’s daughter; she never imagined this outrageous wish would come true in such a manner.
She didn’t know whether to count herself lucky or unlucky.
Anger was almost too much to suppress, it burned painfully in her chest, but she held it in.
She asked, sounding eerily calm, “I’m here to see Madam; has she gone to bed?”
“What does it matter to you whether Madam is asleep or not?”
Lin Yueqin cast a disdainful glance at her and then at the four towering men standing beside her.
These four men looked formidable, clearly bodyguards.
“What’s the reason for bringing so many people? You want to make trouble again? Lin Chuyi, I warn you, the Wen Family isn’t a place where you can cause a scene. It’s no use even if you bring bodyguards!”
“I want to see Madam, you’d better step aside.”
“Who are you to demand a meeting with Madam? I won’t move, what are you going to do about it? Hmph! Madam really dislikes you; she won’t see you! Get out now!”
Chapter 302 I Should Have Come Earlier Ye Chuyi looked up at the second floor of the villa, where the master bedroom was. The light in the master bedroom was off at the moment, but she couldn’t be sure whether Lady Wen was asleep.
She hoped she was.
That way, she couldn’t witness her hitting someone.
They hadn’t recognized each other yet, and she didn’t want to give her mother the impression of being violent and cruel.
She instructed her bodyguards, “Cover her mouth, drag her out, and beat her first.”
The two bodyguards responded and stepped forward to cover Lin Yueqin’s mouth, dragging her out of the villa.
The storm, with its fierce winds and thunderous lightning, masked the sound of beating, and only Lin Yueqin’s pained muffled groans could be heard sporadically.
After a while, she was dragged back in.
She was soaked through, with her cheeks swollen high and blood streaming from the corner of her mouth.
She looked at Ye Chuyi with a mix of shock and rage, “How dare you let people hit me?! I’m your mother, hitting me is unfilial! You’re asking for retribution!”
“Retribution? You think you’re worthy to speak of retribution?”
Ye Chuyi laughed abruptly as if she had heard the biggest joke, “Ha! In this world, isn’t the person who deserves retribution the most, you, Lin Yueqin!”
“What are you talking about? I’ve lived a decent life, how could I face retribution!”
“You will face retribution very soon, don’t worry. Wait a moment, I’ll make you wish you were dead, and I hope then you can still be as tough as you are now.”
Having said that, Ye Chuyi walked past her, into the villa.
A maid with an unfamiliar face stood at the door, quivering, “Who are you? What do you want to do?”
Ye Chuyi sized her up, “Are you a new maid?”
“Yes.”
“Where is Madam? Did she go to sleep?”
“Madam is not here.”
Ye Chuyi frowned, “What do you mean she’s not here? Where did she go?”
“I don’t know; Madam hasn’t been home for several days.”
Ye Chuyi’s expression darkened rapidly, and she pushed the maid out of the way, striding into the living room. After scanning the room and finding no one, she went upstairs and directly entered the master bedroom.
The light was turned on, but Lady Wen was nowhere to be found on the bed, there was only Wen Xingye.
Wen Xingye had just lain down. Suddenly, the door was flung open, and the lights turned on, the room abruptly brightening. He stared incredulously at Ye Chuyi standing in the doorway, and then he became furious, “What are you doing?! Who allowed you in? Get out!”
Ye Chuyi clenched her hand and asked coldly, “Where is Madam? Why are you the only one at home? Where did she go?”
Wen Xingye never expected her to burst into his bedroom in the middle of the night and still have the nerve to demand where his wife was.noveldrama
He got up from the bed in anger, “What my wife does is none of your business! You have broken into my house, I’m calling the police now, to have you arrested!”
But Ye Chuyi was quicker, snatching the phone from his bedside before he could act, then she opened the window and threw his phone out.
Wen Xingye’s face changed color with rage, “You! What madness is this, breaking into my house in the middle of the night! Are you ill?!”
Ye Chuyi ignored him and left the bedroom.
It was so late, why wouldn’t Lady Wen be home? She rarely went out, and yet the maid claimed she hadn’t been home in days. What had happened?
Just reaching the stairway, she saw Wen Nianyou hurrying down from the upper floor, “What happened? Why—”
Before she could finish, she saw Ye Chuyi and her eyes widened in surprise, “Why are you here?”
“Why can’t I be here?”
Ye Chuyi suddenly let out a sinister laugh, “I should’ve come here long ago, shouldn’t I have?”
Wen Nianyou felt that there was something off about her, but she didn’t dwell on it. Approaching Ye Chuyi, and seeing Wen Xingye glaring at her, she asked in a soft voice, “Dad, why did she suddenly come? I thought I heard you arguing with her?”
Wen Xingye was livid, “She’s crazy! She barged into my bedroom and demanded to know where your mom went! When I said I would call the police, she threw my phone out the window!”
Wen Nianyou looked at Ye Chuyi in surprise, “Why are you looking for my mom in the middle of the night? Chuyi, I know you’ve always been envious and jealous because I have a good mother. But don’t you have a mother? Why do you keep trying to take mine? You really seem a bit crazy, maybe you should see a doctor.”
Chapter 303 What’s My Last Name? Ye Chuyi beckoned to her with a crooked finger, “Come here, and I’ll tell you what I’m doing here looking for Madam in the middle of the night.”
Wen Nianyou, half in doubt, took two steps forward, “What on earth…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Ye Chuyi lifted her leg and violently kicked her in the waist, sending her tumbling down from the second floor.
“Ah!”
“Youyou!”
The piercing scream and the roar of rage echoed through the luxurious villa, the two sounds intertwining, bringing an unsettling pleasure to the listener.
Wen Nianyou rolled down the stairs from the second floor to the first, nearly breaking her breath with the fall.
Wen Xingye ran down in a panic, hurriedly picking her up, “Nianyou, how are you? Nianyou!”
Wen Nianyou was in so much pain she nearly passed out. She tried to say something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she vomited a large mouthful of fresh blood.
Wen Xingye, angry like a furious lion, roared at Ye Chuyi, “You dare to hurt my daughter?! I will make your life a living hell! Someone, call the police! Call the police!”
However, no one responded to him.
Ye Chuyi stood on the high second floor, her expression cold, stepping down the stairs one at a time.
She looked at the new maid shivering in the corner, and said indifferently, “Have my bodyguard bring Lin Yueqin in.”
The maid, frightened out of her wits, subconsciously followed her order, ran out, and stumbled her way through the message to the bodyguard.
Moments later, four bodyguards dragged Lin Yueqin in.
As soon as Lin Yueqin saw Wen Nianyou in Wen Xingye’s arms vomiting blood, her eyes immediately reddened, “Nianyou! What happened to you!”
Ye Chuyi nodded to the bodyguards, and they loosened their grip. Lin Yueqin rushed to Wen Nianyou’s side, trembling, “Nianyou, don’t scare me, say something, Nianyou!”
Wen Nianyou vomited another mouthful of blood but finally recovered some strength. Crying, she said, “Aunt Lin, Chuyi, she wants to kill me. She kicked me down the stairs; you have to help me deal with her!”
Lin Yueqin spun her head fiercely, glaring at Ye Chuyi with hatred, “You dare to hurt Nianyou?! Who gave you the audacity! She’s the young miss of the Wen Family, pampered since she was little, and you, a lowly creature, also dare to touch her?!”
Ye Chuyi clapped her hands mockingly, “What a touching display of mother-daughter affection. Lin Yueqin, as a maid, aren’t you being too distraught over the young miss? Wen Nianyou is hurt, and even Mr. Wen isn’t as heartbroken as you.”
Unable to bear the sight of her daughter hurt, Lin Yueqin retorted, “I watched the miss grow up, it’s only right that I hurt for her, there’s no need for your snide remarks here! It seems you’ve been too long without my discipline, forgetting your own surname!”
As she spoke, she raised her hand intending to slap Ye Chuyi.
Ye Chuyi grabbed her arm immediately, “What is my surname? Come on, tell him in front of Wen Xingye, what is my surname?!”
“Your surname is Lin!”
“Slap!”
Ye Chuyi raised her hand and gave Lin Yueqin a slap, causing her to cry out in pain.noveldrama
“What is my surname? Say it again!”
“Your surname is Shi!”
“Slap!”
Ye Chuyi slapped her again, “You won’t say it, huh? Somebody, drag Wen Nianyou out for me and beat her! Beat her until she tells the truth!”
Lin Yueqin was both shocked and enraged, “You dare!”
She tried to hit Ye Chuyi, but the bodyguard was no pushover. Just as she raised her other hand, it was caught by the bodyguard, and she couldn’t bring it down.
Wen Xingye held Wen Nianyou tightly, “Who dares to touch my daughter?! This is the Wen Family’s home, Lin Chuyi, this is not the place for you to go mad!”
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than the bodyguard punched Wen Xingye, leaving him seeing stars, then they dragged Wen Nianyou away.
Wen Nianyou screamed in terror, “Dad! Save me! Aunt Lin, save me!”
But no one saved her.
Because both Wen Xingye and Lin Yueqin were held down firmly by the bodyguards.
Ye Chuyi stood in front of Lin Yueqin, looking down at her with an air of superiority, “Kneel.”
Lin Yueqin’s eyes, filled with rage, almost bulged out, “You little beast, you dare make me kneel? I’m your mother! You ask me to kneel and you’re not afraid of dying a sudden death?!”
Chapter 304: This Slap, Is On Behalf Of My Mom Ye Chuyi glanced at the bodyguard.
The bodyguard immediately kicked viciously towards her knee.
With a “thud,” Lin Yueqin knelt down hard on the solid ceramic tile, crying out in pain.
“You kneel, do my years shortened? Did I lose my life? No, I didn’t, I am living just fine.”
Ye Chuyi stepped forward, grabbed her hair, and forced her to look up, “Now, I ask, you answer. If you answer well, Wen Nianyou will be fine. If you don’t, Wen Nianyou will suffer. Whether she survives tonight depends on you.”
“Let Youyou go! If there’s any issue, come at me!”
“Who asked you to jump in? Chen Xi!”
As her words fell, Wen Nianyou’s piercing scream filled the air.
Lin Yueqin’s heart trembled in distress; her face filled with resentment as she looked at Ye Chuyi, not daring to speak again.
Wen Xingye cursed angrily from the side, “Lin Chuyi, are you even human? Why are you tormenting my daughter! What’s the difference between you and an animal? Let her go right now, or I’ll never let this go!”
“Your daughter?”
Ye Chuyi threw back her head and laughed heartily. “Useless trash, you can’t even protect your own daughter! Madam was giving birth, where were you? Where?! You weren’t by her side at all, were you?”
Wen Xingye was taken aback, not understanding why she suddenly asked about this. Indeed, he wasn’t by his wife’s side when she was giving birth. But how did she know about that?
Lin Yueqin’s face went pale, and her pupils shrank suddenly!
Ye Chuyi had enough laughing, then yanked Lin Yueqin’s hair again: “Tell Wen Xingye, who his real daughter is! Speak!”
Lin Yueqin’s heart sank completely!
It’s over!
She knew, she knew everything!
Why?
The outsiders who knew about this… hadn’t they all been killed by Shi Youjin? How could she possibly know! Who told her?!
“Not talking? Chen Xi!”
Wen Nianyou’s agonized screams were heard again from outside.
Lin Yueqin shuddered again, her face turning ashen.
But this time, no matter how Wen Nianyou cried out, she clenched her teeth tightly and refused to say a word.
It didn’t matter if her daughter suffered a beating, but the identity of Miss Wen Family could not be lost! Otherwise, all their meticulous scheming over many years would have been in vain!
Lin Yueqin refused to speak, and Ye Chuyi wasn’t in a hurry, but Wen Xingye beside her became so anxious that even his voice changed in tone, “Lin Yueqin, have you gone mute? Why aren’t you talking? Do you want to watch Youyou get beaten to death? Speak! Youyou is my daughter, what is there for you to hesitate?!”
Lin Yueqin bit her teeth so hard, making not a single sound.
Speaking falsely would probably provoke even fiercer retaliation from Ye Chuyi. It’s better not to speak; perhaps she could still bluster through.
As expected, Ye Chuyi let go of her.
She walked up to Wen Xingye and in his shocked and angry gaze, slapped him hard across the face. “This slap is on behalf of my mother. She’s too gentle and too kind, probably wouldn’t hit anyone, so, I did it for her.”
Wen Xingye’s head buzzed from the slap, his entire cheek beginning to throb painfully.
But he couldn’t focus on the pain, instead, he looked at Ye Chuyi in disbelief: “Have you gone completely mad? You dare to hit me?! Your mother is just a maid in my house, eating from me, using what’s mine, I am your mother’s employer! You hit me for her? Are you sick?”
Ye Chuyi glanced at him coldly, “No wonder your business ventures have been losing money, for over twenty years, without any improvement. Turns out, it’s because you have a slow brain.”
“What the hell are you talking about?! Release Youyou now!”
“Where’s my mom? Where did she go?”noveldrama
Wen Xingye roared furiously, “Isn’t your mom right here?! Are you blind or mad?!”
Ye Chuyi looked towards Lin Yueqin. “Where’s my mom? Why isn’t she at home?”
Lin Yueqin was almost biting her teeth to pieces, her gaze at Ye Chuyi almost murderous, “I am your mom! I am right here!”
Ye Chuyi called out, “Chen Xi!”
Wen Nianyou’s appalling screams echoed again, this time even more harrowing than before, as though she was enduring some tremendous pain.
Ye Chuyi kicked Lin Yueqin. “Try saying you’re my mom once more?”
Chapter 305: Guess How Long You Will Be Sentenced? Lin Yueqin’s vision darkened as she was kicked, feeling her ferocity. She knew this time Yueqin came fully prepared, and she dared not speak any further.
She began desperately begging for mercy, “Xiaoyi, it’s all my fault. I did overlook you a lot before, but I had no choice, I am a servant of the Wen Family, and it’s my duty to take care of the young lady and the madam.”
“I will make it up to you from now on. However much I dote on the young lady, I will dote on you in the future. No matter what wrongs I’ve done, your father and I did raise you up properly in the end. If not for the monk, consider the Buddha, and let’s stop this ruckus.”
“I beg you, please go! If you hold any resentment in your heart and want to torment someone, then just torment me,” she pleaded.
Ye Chuyi looked at her, tears streaming down her face, but her heart remained utterly unmoved.
“Weren’t you acting all tough just now? Why aren’t you tough anymore? Why start playing the good person, the pitiable one?” Chuyi taunted.
“Earlier, I was foolish and didn’t know any better. Please don’t hold it against me. I beg you, let Youyou go; she is innocent!” Yueqin implored.
“She is not innocent at all. She has known about her real identity for a long time. I’m not sure exactly when, but by the time Shi Youjin killed the first person, she definitely knew,” Ye Chuyi said coldly.
“She has been particularly against me since we were children. She must have known all along that I am the true daughter of the Wen Family!” Chuyi asserted.
Finally, Wen Xingye understood the root of her sudden madness that night, and he cried out in disbelief, “What are you saying? That’s impossible!”
Yueqin quickly interjected, “Chuyi, don’t spout nonsense. How could you possibly be the daughter of the Wen Family! I know you’ve always dreamed of being the Wen Family’s precious young lady, but you are not. You are my daughter, the daughter of a servant!”
Ye Chuyi looked at her anxious refutation, finding it utterly ludicrous. Even now, she refused to acknowledge the truth.
“Lin Yueqin, you and Shi Youjin just couldn’t resist, could you? With your biological daughter by your side, you did so much for her; you just couldn’t keep from telling her her identity,” Chuyi accused.
“On one hand, you wanted her to live as Miss Wen and enjoy a life of wealth, but on the other hand, you feared that with such wealthy parents, she might grow up and disown you, her worthless real parents. So you couldn’t wait to tell her from a young age that you were her biological mother.”
“You succeeded. Wen Nianyou is not close to Lady Wen; she is closer to you. She knows she is not the Wen Family’s daughter, so she never saw Lady Wen as her real mother, nor Wen Xingye as her real father. That’s why even when Wen Xingye had affairs with other women, she remained so indifferent.”
With each word Chuyi spoke, Lin Yueqin’s face grew paler, until there was no color left on her face at all.noveldrama
In a panic, she turned to look at Wen Xingye, “That’s not true; she’s talking nonsense. Mr. Wen, don’t believe her. She’s completely lost her mind! She’s mad!”
Wen Xingye’s brow furrowed deeply, uncertain whom to believe.
The implication of Chuyi’s words was that she was his daughter, and Wen Nianyou was actually the daughter of a female servant?
How could that be possible!
How dare this servant?!
She had received so many benefits from the Wen Family; Ye Jinyu treated her as good as a sister, giving her high wages and bonuses every year. When she was Youyou’s wet nurse, Ye Jinyu even specially hired two people to take care of her for a whole year!
On a regular basis, Lin Yueqin didn’t need to work. For all these years, it was the Wen Family who supported her; she only had to manage the other female servants, while dirty and tiring work was done by others, and her job was simply to accompany the children.
Such a servant, ungrateful to the Wen Family, would dare to switch his and Ye Jinyu’s child?
“No, it can’t be, it’s impossible! I don’t believe it!” Xingye exclaimed.
Ye Chuyi didn’t care what Wen Xingye said; she didn’t think he had the brains to understand. She turned to Lin Yueqin, “Do you know what crime it is to steal someone’s child, and how long you could be sentenced for? The minimum is five years, the maximum is ten. What do you think, will it be five years or ten?”
Lin Yueqin looked at her in terror. The secret she had kept for so many years was finally revealed, and the outcome she had feared had arrived.
She shook her head frantically, “Chuyi, don’t be so cruel to me. I don’t want to go to prison! Whether it’s five years or ten, either is too much for me to bear, that place… it’s not for humans!”
Chapter 306: Your Family of Three Will Reunite in Jail Ye Chuyi spoke indifferently, “Congratulations, that inhuman place suits you well because you’re not human to begin with, you’re an animal.”
“Moreover, you won’t be sentenced to five or ten years. With me around, how could you possibly get such a light sentence?”
“Shi Youjin is getting the death penalty; he can’t receive a heavier sentence, but you can. Rest assured, I’ll make sure you pay back double for all the suffering my mom and I have endured over these twenty-six years.”
“Oh, right, there’s also your daughter, Wen Nianyou. I’ll make sure she gets sent in too. The three of you can enjoy a nice family reunion behind bars!”
“No, she should be called Lin Nianyou now, or perhaps, Shi Nianyou?”
Ye Chuyi smiled at Lin Yueqin, “Right, don’t you think?”noveldrama
Her teeth were very white, her lips curled up in a smile, but her eyes held not a trace of laughter. To Lin Yueqin, this smile appeared especially startling and terrifying.
She shook her head desperately, “No, no, you’re mistaken. Youyou is the Wen Family’s daughter, her surname is Wen! Don’t go giving her random surnames!”
Ye Chuyi kicked her directly, eliciting a painful scream as Lin Yueqin doubled over and fell: “When I was young, this is how you kicked me. Now it’s my turn to kick you, Lin Yueqin, your retribution has arrived!”
With her face contorted, Lin Yueqin cried out in agony, “I didn’t, you’re remembering wrong. I never hit you, I always treated you especially well. Have you forgotten? People shouldn’t be so heartless!”
“I think your brain must be broken, you’re not even making sense anymore, starting to talk nonsense. Let me help you clear your head.”
Ye Chuyi kicked her again, “Feel better yet? If not, let me help you some more—”
Lin Yueqin immediately screamed, “I’m better! I hit you, I kicked you, it’s all my fault!”
“Since you’ve admitted it yourself, then I won’t hold back.”
As she spoke, Ye Chuyi gave her two more kicks.
Then, she raised her voice, “Chen Xi, bring Shi Nianyou in here.”
The bodyguard quickly dragged the person in.
Ye Chuyi nodded at him, “Bring her in front of Mr. Wen. Mr. Wen, by your own hand, take some hair from her head and go get a paternity test.”
Wen Xingye looked on, his face pale as paper, his eyes filled with shock and fear as he stared at Wen Nianyou, hesitating and not making a move.
Ye Chuyi stepped forward, “What, you can’t bear to pluck a few hairs from her? Still see her as your daughter? Fine, I’ll do it for you, I can bear it.”
As she spoke, she grabbed Wen Nianyou’s hair and yanked out a large handful, causing Wen Nianyou to scream, “Lin Chuyi, you’re insane, you’re a lunatic! I’m going to kill you! Kill you!”
Ye Chuyi slapped her and promptly stuffed a rag into her mouth, silencing her cries and curses.
Just after doing so, she remembered how Wen Nianyou used to bully her when they were young, ordering someone to stuff a sock in her mouth. Ye Chuyi then pulled the rag out, removed her soggy shoes, and took off her socks that had been soaked through by the rain, stuffing them into Wen Nianyou’s mouth.
Wen Nianyou’s eyes widened in horror as she started to retch with disgust.
Ye Chuyi didn’t bother with her further and passed the hair in front of Wen Xingye, “Mr. Wen, please check, is this enough? If not, I can always get more—”
“Enough!”
Wen Xingye hurriedly snatched the hair from her hand, fearing she would pluck more, “Even if Nianyou isn’t my daughter, you have no right to treat her this way! People should be kind; even if you were switched at birth, it’s not Nianyou’s fault! Why must you torment her like this? This is not something a person should do!”
“Even if she was my daughter, I should have treated her this way long ago!”
Ye Chuyi’s face suddenly turned cold, and she said sharply, “Without experiencing another’s hardships, do not preach kindness to others! Do you know how she led the bullying against me when we were young? Where were you when she and Lin Yueqin were tormenting me? How come I never saw you stand up for justice on my behalf!”
Wen Xingye yelled, “I had no idea you were being tormented; you can’t blame that on me!”
“If you knew nothing, then shut up! I am punishing those who caused my mother and me to be separated for twenty-six years. If you’re not going to help, that’s fine, but don’t defend them! You’re just too hypocritical, too worthless!”
Chapter 307: I’m Taking Over This Family “And you call me kind? Are you kind? When your wife was seriously ill, you had an affair, got involved with another woman, spent all her dowry, and became a freeloader!”
“You, who betrayed your own wife and lost your conscience, have the face to educate me about kindness? You’re not worthy!”
Ye Chuyi’s chilly voice echoed through the living room. She swept a cold laugh over three hypocritical faces, “This villa has been mortgaged by you several times, right? My mom’s dowry, has it already been squandered by you?”
“I’ve checked, this villa is entirely my mom’s pre-marital asset, none of you have any right to touch it! Pay your own debts, and don’t even think about spending a cent of hers from now on!”
“Starting today, I am taking over this house! Lin Yueqin, you’re fired, get out tonight, go sleep on the streets! Enjoy the last of your good days before you go to prison!”
“Shi Nianyou, you get out too, this isn’t your home. Your mom is this shameless maid, and your dad is that murderer in jail, you have no right to live here anymore.”
“As for Wen Xingye, I’m giving you one week to recover all the money you spent on your mistress, or else, I won’t hesitate to take legal action and have the court force her to surrender all her assets!”
After Ye Chuyi finished speaking, she waved to the bodyguard, “Kick them out, these two have dirtied my mom’s villa.”
“Yes!”
The bodyguard responded, dragging Lin Yueqin with one hand and Wen Nianyou with the other, escorting both out of the villa.
Lin Yueqin wailed horribly, Wen Nianyou cried and sobbed, screaming for Wen Xingye “Daddy.”
Unfortunately for Wen Xingye, he couldn’t even protect himself. He was held down firmly by two bodyguards, utterly unable to save Wen Nianyou.noveldrama
“Lin Chuyi! Don’t get too arrogant. Even if you really are Jinyu and my daughter, it’s not your turn to call the shots here! I don’t care what you do to Lin Yueqin, but Youyou is the child we raised, she is my daughter! I don’t want a daughter as ruthless as you!”
“I don’t want a white-eyed wolf for a father who mooches off women anyway. Since you’re so keen on having Shi Nianyou as your daughter, then you can get out with her.”
Ye Chuyi spoke and then took out her ID card, “Moreover, I no longer carry the Lin surname, I am now surnamed Ye, after my mother.”
Wen Xingye looked closely and indeed, her ID card read ‘Ye Chuyi’!
He couldn’t believe it, “When did you change your surname? Who let you take Jinyu’s surname? We never recognized you, why are you taking my wife’s surname! How shameless can you be? Who knows who you really are, just because you claim to be our daughter, does that make it true? I think you are exactly as Youyou described, jealous of her, always trying to replace her!”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t recognize me, I don’t need it. But I think my mom will definitely recognize me. As for changing my surname to Ye, it was my uncle who asked me to change it, and I happen to like this surname now, so I don’t plan to change it again.”
Wen Xingye felt a sudden jolt in his heart, “Your uncle?”
Ye Chuyi gave a cold smile, “Ye Zhengrong, Wen Xingye, you surely haven’t forgotten my mom’s brother, have you?”
Wen Xingye’s face quickly turned pale, the arrogant air he had put on just a moment ago extinguished, “You… you’ve already been to the Ye family?”
“Yeah, I’ve been, what about it? You seem really scared of the Ye family!”
“I am not scared of the Ye family! How did you even know my wife is the daughter of the Ye family?! We never told anyone about this, not even Youyou!”
“At first, I certainly didn’t know Madam is the Ye family’s daughter, but I look too much like the members of the Ye family. Even the butler and servants couldn’t tell the difference between me and their young miss. So, Ye Zhengrong took a sample of my hair and did a DNA comparison.”
Ye Chuyi looked at him indifferently, “I know you don’t want to accept this, but the fact remains, I am your and Madam’s daughter. Of course, it’s fine if you don’t accept it, I came back to acknowledge my mom, not you, don’t flatter yourself.”
Chapter 308 Wen Xingye’s Trick Wen Xingye’s face flashed with a hint of fear.
If the Ye Family had already recognized Ye Chuyi, then the outcome was already decided.
Over the years, he had longed for the Ye Family but also harbored an extreme dislike for them because after he had pursued Ye Jinyu, he faced the opposition of the entire Ye Family. Ye Zhengrong, who had the closest relationship with Ye Jinyu, even had someone beat him up, forbidding him from getting near Ye Jinyu.
Later, he had given Ye Jinyu the idea of a hunger strike as a form of protest, which had finally forced the Ye Family to give in.
Then, he did everything in his power to quickly get Ye Jinyu pregnant, leaving the Ye Family with no choice but to agree to their marriage. Moreover, given Ye Jinyu’s pregnancy, the Ye Family gave her a substantial dowry—fearing she and the child would suffer hardships.
Ye Zhengrong had someone beat him up the day he found out his sister was pregnant before marriage.
Wen Xingye had never expected that Ye Zhengrong would see through his scheme right away, knowing that he had intentionally got Ye Jinyu pregnant to force the Ye Family to agree to their marriage.
After the marriage, Wen Xingye, citing the need for Ye Jinyu to rest for the baby’s sake, desperately cut off her communication with the Ye Family. He wanted to prevent Ye Jinyu from being influenced by the Ye Family, becoming closer to them, and less close to him.
More importantly, only by severing Ye Jinyu’s connection with the Ye Family could he find an excuse to manage her substantial dowry.
Otherwise, her dowry would be controlled by Ye Zhengrong, who managed all the assets on her behalf, leaving him with not a bit of benefit.
Under his relentless instigation, the relationship between Ye Jinyu and Ye Zhengrong worsened.
Ye Zhengrong felt his sister was blinded by love to the point of entrusting her billions in dowry to Wen Xingye. Holding her in contempt for her foolishness, he firmly refused to hand over the management rights, insisting on managing it for her for the rest of her life.
Whereas Ye Jinyu felt her brother was overstepping. Though the dowry was rightfully hers, it was firmly in her brother’s grip, and she faced numerous difficulties in attempting to reclaim it. Even though her brother gave her all the earnings, the money wasn’t sufficient—she wanted to sell a building to support Wen Xingye’s business venture.
The siblings were at an impasse, one resolute against selling the building and the other insisting on selling it. The conflict became increasingly acute and unreconcilable, even reaching the point of a cold war where they stopped speaking.
Later, it was their eldest brother, Ye Canghai, who made a statement allowing Ye Jinyu to manage all the assets of her dowry herself, responsible for any profits or losses, that Ye Zhengrong finally relinquished control.
But from then on, no one in the Ye Family managed Ye Jinyu’s affairs anymore.
Wen Xingye finally gained control of Ye Jinyu’s substantial dowry and became a prominent businessman in the world of commerce. Those seeking his investment started their proposals with billions, and everyone treated him as an honored guest.
Having gained advantages and enjoyed the wealth of the Ye Family, he had nearly spent all of Ye Jinyu’s fortune—why would he want anything to do with the Ye Family now?
To this day, he was still filled with fear of Ye Zhengrong.
Although Ye Zhengrong had a strikingly handsome face that seemed harmless, his personality was actually far more stubborn and colder than his elder brother’s, and his gaze was incredibly sharp. One look from him made you feel like all your secrets were laid bare.
In Wen Xingye’s presence, he always felt like there was nowhere to hide.
So, after marrying Ye Jinyu, he went out of his way to prevent her from associating with Ye Zhengrong, never allowing Ye Zhengrong to visit their home nor permitting Ye Jinyu to go back to her family’s.
But all his calculations had not accounted for the fact that, after so many years, he would hear Ye Zhengrong’s name again through Ye Chuyi—their daughter was actually found by Ye Zhengrong!
Could it be that the dreadful Ye Zhengrong was going to reenter his life again?
If he knew that he had squandered all of Ye Jinyu’s dowry, would he fly into a rage? Would he have someone take his life?noveldrama
No, this won’t do—he must find Ye Jinyu at once!
Wen Xingye hurriedly looked up at Ye Chuyi, “Your mother left home a few days ago and never returned. I haven’t been able to contact her since. Since you’re our biological daughter, you should go out and look for her right away. I’m really worried about her!”
Ye Chuyi couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, “Why are you suddenly willing to talk about her? Weren’t you refusing to say anything to the bitter end just now?”
Chapter 309: She Has the Ye Family’s Blood in Her Veins Wen Xingye casually said, “Before, wasn’t it that I didn’t know you were my daughter? Now that I do, of course, I have to tell you!”
Ye Chuyi didn’t believe a word of it.
But she really needed to find her mother back: “Why did my mom suddenly go out and not come back? What happened?”
“Nothing happened. I don’t know what’s wrong with her either.”
“You’re lying to me, you know the reason.”
“I really don’t know!”
“When people lie, they have a lot of small actions, such as shifty eyes, fidgeting fingers. Just now, when you were talking, you wouldn’t look me in the eye, your gaze was wandering, and your hand was subconsciously pulling at your clothes. Your speaking rate also sped up, Wen Xingye, you were too hasty in denying it, which betrayed your inner thoughts.”
Wen Xingye stiffened. He had so many small actions just now?
He looked at Ye Chuyi, growing more and more alarmed by what he saw. How could she be so intimidating?
Moreover, it was fine when she didn’t mention Ye Zhengrong, but as soon as she did, he realized that she looked so much like Ye Zhengrong, even their personalities seemed somewhat similar!
Ye Zhengrong was like this, able to catch a glimpse of your inner thoughts through a slight facial expression or movement, pinning down your weaknesses. Every time he spoke to Ye Zhengrong, he would feel petrified.
Now, he was experiencing this feeling all over again with Ye Chuyi!
While he was still rigid, he heard Ye Chuyi say again, “Did my mother look at your phone? Did she leave home after she looked at your phone?”
Wen Xingye’s eyelids twitched violently, his face turning exceedingly ugly: “No! That’s not it!”
However, Ye Chuyi revealed a knowing expression, “I thought so.”
She had warned her mother before, telling her about Wen Xingye’s affairs with other women and instructed her to check Wen Xingye’s phone.
She must have looked, and upon confirming Wen Xingye’s betrayal, that’s why she left home.
“Chen Xi, I threw his phone out from the second floor earlier, go pick it up.”
Chen Xi responded and went out.
A moment later, he came back with the phone and handed it to Ye Chuyi.
Despite having been soaked in the rain for quite a while, the phone was waterproof. Aside from a few cracks on the screen, it was still workable.
Ye Chuyi waved the phone in front of Wen Xingye, the facial recognition succeeded, and the phone unlocked.
She browsed through all his chat records, but found nothing between him and his mistress.
She asked Wen Xingye, “Did you delete the chat history with that woman?”
“What woman? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“At this point, you’re still pretending? If I hadn’t seen you with that woman, I might understand your act. But I’ve seen you two together twice now, doesn’t pretending make you look very stupid? Do you really not have a brain at all?”
Wen Xingye defiantly said with his neck braced, “That was just business entertainment, stop falsely accusing me.”
Ye Chuyi was amused by his indignation, “You really are not going to accept it until you see your own coffin! Do you think that by deleting the chat history you’re in the clear? Or is it that you have a second phone you used exclusively to contact that woman?”
“I don’t!”
“Chen Xi, search and see if he has a second phone.”
“Yes!”
The bodyguards quickly conducted the search while Ye Chuyi waited patiently downstairs.noveldrama
During the wait, she observed Wen Xingye’s expression and saw that he was completely composed, which gave her the answer.
“Chen Xi, stop searching.”
Chen Xi came back with the bodyguards, confused: “Boss, why stop searching?”
“He doesn’t have a second phone.”
“How do you know?”
“He’s too calm, not panicking at all, which is not normal.”
The bodyguard looked at Wen Xingye, his face showing admiration for how the boss had only sent them to search as a means to test Wen Xingye.
Wen Xingye hadn’t expected that he would inadvertently reveal another weakness!
His complexion grew unsightly; he no longer needed to do a paternity test. This Ye Chuyi definitely carried the Ye Family’s blood, acting and speaking just like her damned uncle!
Chapter 310 I Waited for You All Night However, what would it matter even if Ye Chuyi had guessed right?
He really didn’t have a second phone, because Ye Jinyu had always trusted him, never checking his phone, so he brazenly flirted with his mistress through texts without anyone discovering.
A few days ago, for some unknown reason, Ye Jinyu suddenly looked at his phone and saw all the messages and money transfers between him and his mistress.
He immediately snatched back the phone and deleted all the chat history.noveldrama
So, even if Ye Chuyi took his phone now; she wouldn’t have any evidence against him. As for the money transfers, he could simply say they were business transactions.
Ye Chuyi watched Wen Xingye’s subtle changes in expression and knew what he was thinking.
She sneered sarcastically and handed the phone to Chen Xi, “Take this to Ivy. I want all the chat and transfer records, including those that have been deleted.”
The bodyguard respectfully received the phone, “Yes, boss. I will hand it over to Director Li.”
Wen Xingye’s face drastically changed, and he stepped forward to snatch back the phone, but the bodyguard was much faster, skillfully dodging and then kicking him to the ground.
The bodyguard, after kicking him, realized that this was the boss’s father and cautiously glanced at Ye Chuyi.
But Ye Chuyi showed no reaction at all. If she had to describe her inner feelings, she found the kick quite satisfying.
She didn’t bother with Wen Xingye anymore and turned to walk out.
All four bodyguards followed her, with Chen Xi holding the umbrella over her until she got into the car outside the villa gates. Only then did he retract the umbrella and hold it over his own head.
Ye Chuyi started the car and drove off while calling Ivy, “I need you to track someone’s whereabouts.”
“Boss, who are you looking for?”
“Ye Jinyu.”
“No problem!”
“Quickly. I’m worried about her safety. I want to know where she is right now.”
“I’m on it immediately!”
After hanging up, Ye Chuyi continued driving.
When she was nearing the apartment, Ivy called back, “Boss, I’ve found her.”
Ye Chuyi was surprised, “You found her that quickly? Is she okay?”
“She should be fine. Her movements are very predictable, so she was easy to locate. She has been staying in a hotel up until tonight when she returned to the Ye Family ancestral home.”
Ye Chuyi was startled.
Her mother had actually taken the initiative to return to the Ye Family. It seemed she hadn’t done so in many years.
Since she was back at the Ye Family’s, perhaps she would soon find out that Wen Nianyou isn’t her daughter, but she is her biological daughter.
Ye Zhengrong would probably tell her.
Ye Chuyi suddenly felt a sense of trepidation. Although she had confidently told Wen Xingye that her mother would acknowledge her, confronted by Ye Jinyu, she didn’t actually feel all that confident.
After all, Ye Jinyu had raised Wen Nianyou as her own daughter for twenty-six years, lavishing her with affection and investing all her maternal love and emotions in her. Now suddenly to be told that her daughter was someone else, she might not accept it psychologically.
When Ye Chuyi reached the residential area, she sat in the car for a long time, shivering coldly in her damp clothes until she came back to her senses, got out of the car, and went back to her apartment.
She was distracted as she entered, turning on the lights and changing her shoes.
But she had only taken off one shoe when she noticed a person sitting on the sofa.
Her heart skipped a beat at the sight of that handsome, cold face and belatedly remembered that he had mentioned her coming home today; otherwise, he would have taken action against Dome and Jungle.
“Where have you been?”
His voice was cold, with a hint of anger, “I’ve been waiting for you all night.”
Ye Chuyi changed her shoes and walked up to him, “Sorry, I had some personal matters to take care of.”
“What personal matters?”
Ye Chuyi kept silent; she couldn’t exactly say that she had taken people to beat someone up, could she?
Fortunately, Sheng Tingyuan had one good quality: he would never press her to talk about things she was unwilling to discuss.
He stood up, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her toward the bathroom, “Go take a shower and change first. You’re soaking wet. Once you’re cleaned up, we’ll settle our score.”
