Ye Linchen pretended not to understand and asked Ye Zhenghua.

"Housing reform? Buying a house? What does that have to do with me?"

You brat, don't play dumb with me!

Ye Zhenghua cursed under his breath, but his face remained full of smiles.

"You silly child, what are you saying? How can this not concern you? You're a member of the Ye family too! If the house is bought, you're entitled to a share."

"Dad knows you're successful now and can earn money. If you help the family and take out the money to buy a house, we'll definitely thank you!"

"I don't need it, and I won't pay that money. The Ye family's affairs have nothing to do with me."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhenghua became anxious and questioned, "How can it not concern you? Aren't you surnamed Ye?"

Ye Linchen scoffed: "So that's what you care about? That's easy, I can go to the police station tomorrow and change my surname."

Ye Zhenghua got angry, pointing at Ye Linchen, his hand trembling slightly.

"Just because you changed your name doesn't mean you're no longer a member of the Ye family! You're still part of our family, and the blood of the old Ye family still flows in your veins!"

Ye Linchen sneered, "Now you know I have the blood of the Ye family? Where were you before? Let me tell you straight, I won't give you a single penny. If you don't have money, go ask Meng Zihan for it. Why are you coming to me?"

Ye Zhenghua was quite pleased with himself.

See? I told you that this brat was still angry with Meng Zihan.

Fortunately, I had already come up with a solution.

He immediately put on an understanding expression and said, "I know you're still angry with Meng Zihan. Here's what we'll do: as long as you pay, I'll kick Meng Zihan out of the house and never have anything to do with her again. Are you satisfied now?"

Ye Linchen remained unmoved, looking at Ye Zhenghua and saying, word by word, "I'll say it again, how you treat Meng Zihan has nothing to do with me. I won't pay any money! Forget about it!"

She knew very well that she had lived such a miserable life in her previous life, and in this life she was framed by people everywhere. Meng Zihan and Meng Xueyun were certainly hateful, but Ye Zhenghua's favoritism and indulgence were the real culprits.

None of these three people are good!

Seeing that Ye Linchen was unyielding, Ye Zhenghua completely lost his patience. The smile on his face vanished without a trace, and his tone became sharp.

"This won't do, that won't do, what exactly do you want us to do to satisfy you?"

Ye Linchen became interested after hearing what he said.

She really wanted to know why Ye Zhenghua thought she would give him money after things had come to this point with the Ye family, and what he was relying on.

Just how far is he going to take this?

Thinking of this, she wasn't in a hurry to leave. She calmly said, "No matter what you do, I won't be satisfied. Even if I had money, I wouldn't give it to you. Hanging on me won't help."

Ye Zhenghua didn't hear anything else, only that Ye Linchen denied having money, so he immediately started doing the math.

"Why are you broke? Your rent and the clothes you bought cost money, didn't they?"

Ye Linchen blinked, once again marveling at his shamelessness.

Despite being so far away, he kept track of all his expenses.

That's so thoughtful.

Unfortunately, no matter how much he calculated, it was all in vain.

Ye Linchen smiled and said, "That money was all earned by me. I didn't ask you for tuition or living expenses, so don't try to take advantage of me."

Ye Zhenghua felt a little guilty after hearing what she said.

If Ye Linchen insists he has no money and asks him to cover tuition and living expenses, that would be quite troublesome.

However, he was unwilling to give up so easily, and with a bitter face, he said, "Xiao Chen, please think more about your family. If I hadn't been forced into this situation, would I have come to you?"

"How about this, deduct your tuition and living expenses, and give me the rest! I'll borrow the rest from somewhere."

As he spoke, he had a new idea: "By the way, you can cancel your school accommodation and go home to live. That way, you can save on accommodation and living expenses by eating and living at home, and you only need to pay tuition every year! That can save you a lot of money."

Ye Linchen laughed when he heard this.

Ye Zhenghua is so kind-hearted; he has considered everything for her and is wholeheartedly trying to save her money.

Unfortunately, she didn't appreciate it.

Ye Linchen shook his head: "The steel plant is too far from Jiangcheng University, and it's too tiring to travel back and forth every day. Feng Linlin and Lin Xiaojuan both live in the school dormitory. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to make an exception?"

Ye Zhenghua, however, disagreed.

“What’s so hard about this? Can’t you overcome it for the sake of the family? What are their conditions compared to ours? Of course we can’t compare ourselves to them! Xiao Chen, as a family, even if we’re eating coarse food, it’s still sweet. I believe that as long as we work together, things will definitely get better and better. It’s not too late for you to move out then!”

Ye Linchen looked at him, not knowing what to say, and had no interest in listening to his shameless words anymore.

She waved her hand and said, "I don't like eating coarse food. You all can eat slowly. In short, I have no money!"

Ye Zhenghua became famous, and his tone also became harsh.

"Didn't you hook up with a rich guy? If you don't have money, ask him to pay for it!"

Ye Linchen was stunned and asked, completely bewildered, "What tycoon? What are you talking about?"

Ye Zhenghua thought she was pretending to be stupid again and said disdainfully, "You're still pretending with me? I saw you get out of a car with my own eyes the other day. What kind of financial strength do you have to afford a car? The money for a house is just a drop in the ocean for them. Just go and flirt with them, and I guarantee it will work!"

He earnestly advised, "I'm telling you, your personality is too strong, which isn't good for a girl! Girls should be a little softer and gentler to be liked! You should learn from Meng Zihan in this regard. She's so sweet-talking and charming. You can only get benefits if you learn to coax people!"

Ye Linchen retorted angrily, "I'm not rich! Stop trying to smear me!"

Ye Zhenghua simply didn't believe it.

“I saw you get out of his car with my own eyes, what else is there to explain? Even if you are innocent, you can still ask him for a ride! He's willing to let you ride, so he must want to date you. This is a good opportunity for him to show off! If you two really get married in the future, your mother and I will have to give our approval!”

Ye Linchen was completely speechless.

Talking to this kind of person is a complete waste of time.

She sneered, "You'd sell your daughter for money? You don't deserve to be a father! We have nothing more to say. Don't come back. If you harass me again, I'll call the police!"

Ye Zhenghua panicked at the mention of the police, and said in a fierce but weak voice, "Why are you calling the police? I'm your own father! Isn't it only natural for a daughter to give her father money?"

Ye Linchen was too lazy to say another word to him. Seeing that he was blocking her way, she turned around and walked towards the dormitory building.

As he walked, he shouted loudly, "Dormitory supervisor! Could you please call the school security guards for me? Someone is harassing me here!"

Ye Zhenghua also lost his temper and shouted, "Shout! Shout! Shout it all and let everyone judge! Let's see who's being unreasonable! I raised you with great difficulty, and now I'm asking you to help the family, and you're making excuses. Do you have any conscience?"
