When Lao Gao learned that Xiao Hai did not want to see Xun Xiangbin, he readily agreed and supported him.

Look, even the kids think having a dad like that is really bad luck!

Lao Gao also instructed Ye Yun to respect the child's wishes in everything, and not to force Xiao Hai to do anything for Xun Xiangbin or his older sister out of consideration for him.

Ye Yun agreed.

However, since Xun Xiangbin's outburst was related to her, she ultimately decided to go there in person.

However, she wasn't so kind-hearted. Xun Xiangbin had wronged Luo Xiujuan and should be punished, so Ye Yun made him go hungry for another day before walking into the family compound where Xun's family lived with Qin Zheng the next day.

Old Gao went with them too.

The tiny courtyard was quiet. Old Gao stopped at the door and called out:

"Gao Yuzhi!"

No one answered from inside.

"Damn it, where did he go again?"

Old Gao muttered to himself as he entered the room, slamming his foot into the old iron gate.

This time, the door to the main room was finally pushed open.

Wearing a neat cotton-padded coat, a large scarf, and shoulder-length hair, Xun's mother appeared before everyone.

With his eyebrows raised, he looked like someone not to be trifled with, and his face also showed an impatient expression.

"Who is it? How can you be so ill-mannered?" As she spoke, she looked up and saw the old man in front of her.

Ye Yun and Qin Zheng stood politely at the door without entering. Only Lao Gao entered the courtyard. Upon hearing this, Lao Gao glared and raised his voice: "Who are you calling rude? Do you think I want to come here?"

"Oh, my dear brother, what brings you here?" When Xun's mother saw that it was Lao Gao, her face immediately lit up with a smile.

Now that Lao Gao's business is doing well and she has money, she naturally wants to keep her younger brother close to her. How could she dare to give her younger brother a hard time for no reason?

But Lao Gao wasn't about to give her a hard time, and impatiently asked, "Where's your second son?"

Upon hearing that Old Gao had come to see Xun Xiangbin, the smile on Madam Xun's face vanished instantly. She glanced instinctively towards the door and blurted out, "What's going on? Didn't you say you were bringing that little bastard? Where is he?"

Bastard?

Ye Yun was speechless with astonishment.

A surge of anger rose within her, and she immediately turned cold, taking two steps forward and saying without any politeness, "You impolite old woman, what little bastard? I think everyone else is like you just because you're a bastard. You're the bastard, your whole family are bastards!"

Old Gao, standing to the side: "..."

No, please don't accidentally hurt anyone.

Qin Zheng twitched his lips and silently gave Lao Gao a look: Don't overthink it, brother. You and this older sister broke off your relationship a long time ago.

"Hey, little girl, where are you from? How can a young lady speak so rudely?"

After being rebuked like that, Xun's mother seemed to finally notice Ye Yun, and her face fell, her tone full of lecturing.

Ye Yun scoffed coldly, her eyes filled with sarcasm: "Nice words are for nice people. If you think my words are unpleasant, then you must be something else entirely. You dress all high and mighty, but you're utterly incompetent!"

"Don't you even look in the mirror at your bastard face? Do you think you deserve my sweet words?"

Xun's mother was speechless with astonishment, "Hey you—"

"Enough!"

Before she could retort, Lao Gao shouted at her, and she immediately retorted, "Brother, you're my own brother. Are you just going to stand by and watch your older sister be bullied by outsiders?"

"Who do you think you are, my older sister?"

Old Gao felt a surge of anger rising within him as he spoke to this older woman with whom he had severed ties. His tone became increasingly impatient as he pointed at Ye Yun and Qin Zheng at the door and said, "They are the ones who raised Xiao Hai, and they are also the factory manager of Lantian Garment Factory and one of my company's partners!"

"You say other people speak unpleasantly, but you speak pleasantly?"

"If you hadn't insulted them first, would they have insulted you? Calling your own grandson a little bastard, Zhenxing, is that how a grandmother should act?"

After being rebuked by Ye Yun and then by Lao Gao, Xun's mother was also unhappy. She couldn't win the argument because there were more people on the other side, so she didn't confront them directly. She raised her chin and snorted, saying without any guilt, "Who knows if he's my grandson? What if he's that woman's son with someone else? If they pin it on us and my second son, then my second son would be a cuckold."

How dare you speak to me like that?

Ye Yun's expression was rather cold; she felt sorry for Luo Xiujuan, who was so devoted to following Xun Xiangbin.

Mother Xun snorted coldly and curled her lip, "She slept with my son before she was even married. Who knows, she might sleep with other men too. She might not even know whose son is hers!"

The old woman in the city was sharp-tongued and sarcastic, her face displaying a sharp and sarcastic tone.

Driven by selfish desires, they recklessly slandered a woman's innocence and spread rumors, which is truly outrageous.

Ye Yun stared menacingly at the old woman in front of her, her teeth grinding together.

"Honey, calm down..." Qin Zheng noticed her emotions and reached out to gently pat her back.

Just then, the baby in her womb kicked Ye Yun suddenly. Ye Yun's nerves trembled slightly, and her emotions gradually returned. She slowly withdrew her gaze from Xun's mother.

She didn't want to argue with Xun's mother.

However, this behavior made Xun's mother think that she had won a battle. She was so proud that she stood at the door of the main room like an old rooster, raising her chin and looking down at Ye Yun with her nostrils.

Ye Yun was so angry she laughed.

Suddenly, a violent crashing sound came from the main room. The window frame was smashed and rattled, and Xun Xiangbin's weak cry, which came from someone who had been starving for two days, could be heard.

"Let me out..."

"I want to see Xiaohai, I want to see my son, I want to find Juanzi—"

They were shouting and smashing things.

The window was smashed again and again, accompanied by Xun Xiangbin's desperate yet struggling movements, a sound that moved everyone who heard it.

However, Xun's mother, with a long face, scolded without saying a word: "You good-for-nothing!"

"Why are you looking for Juanzi! You should stay in your room and reflect on your actions! Your wife won't be back for three days. Before she comes back, you'd better figure this out—you absolutely cannot let her know about this!"

The tone of his voice showed no regard for Xun Xiangbin's life or death.

All Xun's mother wanted was a harmonious family, no matter how divided they were inside, as long as they appeared happy on the surface, even if it was all just a facade.

She even turned to Ye Yun and said:

"I thought you would bring that little bastard to acknowledge his ancestors, but you didn't bring him at all. It seems you're unwilling too. That's perfect, I was just wondering what to do with that child. In that case, I'll just leave him to you!"

"When you meet him in the future, please don't say that he has any connection with our family."

“Our family is doing well. Our second son has a daughter, and we’re planning to have a son soon. Our life couldn’t be more wonderful. Please don’t come and ruin our good life!”

ha.

Ye Yun laughed in her anger.

At this point, it's a matter of who's more wicked.

Ye Yunyang pointed to the window in the main room that had been smashed, and slightly curled the corners of her lips, "Mother Xun, how about we make a bet?"
