Chapter 690: The Plan Falls Through

Ye Jinsong pointed to the woman on the opposite side of the road and identified her, "The one holding the child, and there's another woman next to her."

"What's Li Li doing here?"

Ye Jingsong thought of a certain possibility and was so frightened that he almost screamed.

He muttered to himself, "Did she come here on purpose to cause trouble? Did she deliberately come to claim kinship with the child at this time?"

Ye Rufeng was not familiar with Li Li, but he was familiar with the shifty-eyed woman standing next to Li Li. "I know the one next to her. She is Xiao Zhi's half-sister."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingsong's nerves instantly tensed up.

When these two get together, nothing good ever comes of it.

"Let's go over there and see. We have to stop them."

Ye Jingsong and Ye Rufeng were on high alert and quickly walked over.

Li Li and Bai Weiwei were whispering to each other, their heads facing each other.

They thought no one would notice them as they stood in this corner.

After all, this is the southern part of the city, and Li Li is unfamiliar with the place and the people here. Apart from Ye Tiandong and Cui Hua, no one knows her.

Bai Weiwei came here today with the attitude of watching a good show, so she was naturally fearless.

If something goes wrong, just shift the blame onto Li Li.

"Li Li, what are you doing here?"

Just as the two were discussing the start of the ceremony and about to cut the ribbon, Li Li rushed up with her child, crying and shouting that he was a heartless man who had abandoned his wife, causing Ye Tiandong to lose face in front of many prominent business owners.

Suddenly, she heard someone shout her name loudly. Li Li was startled and looked up to see Ye Jingsong staring at her angrily.

Standing next to him was an old man who was even more imposing than Ye Jingsong.

"Cousin?" Li Li was momentarily taken aback when she saw Ye Jingsong and addressed him as "cousin" as she always had.

"Don't call me cousin, I'm not your cousin."

Ye Jingsong looked at her and questioned, "What are you doing here? What wicked idea are you plotting?"

Li Li made an excuse, "I was just passing by."

"Just passing by? What a coincidence." Ye Jingsong looked at her and sneered. "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Let me tell you, if you dare to cause trouble here today, I'll send you in to keep your lover company."

He looked at the baby boy in Li Li's arms and scoffed, "Don't you know how you got this child? Instead of secretly hiding him and raising him, you dare to bring him out and parade him around. Do you think you can ruin Tiandong with your lies?"

Li Li was speechless for a moment. The words she had prepared were completely unspeakable in front of Ye Jingsong, who knew the truth.

Because those are all empty words.

"You didn't know he had paternity tests?"

Ye Jingsong usually appears kind and gentle, but he becomes exceptionally tough when it comes to his family's interests. "And besides, you and the child's father are step-siblings. If you dare to cause trouble today, I can make sure this child lives in shame for the rest of his life. Do you believe me?"

Li Li really didn't expect Ye Jingsong to suddenly appear and ruin her plans.

And he was so sharp-tongued that he left her speechless.

After a long pause, she retorted, "The child is innocent."

Hearing her words, Ye Jingsong became even angrier. "Isn't Tiandong innocent? He was schemed against by your whole family, cheated out of his money and feelings. He raised your family of parasites for so long, and they swindled out so much of his property. Even after you got married, you still had your affair right under his nose. Isn't he innocent?"

Ye Rufeng interrupted him, "Stop talking, take her to the police station."

As a father, Ye Rufeng felt extremely sorry for his son, who had not only been cheated on but was still haunted by his lover.

Seeing that things were going wrong, Bai Weiwei decided to make a run for it.

This woman didn't say the child wasn't Ye Tiandong's.

She only said that Ye Tiandong was a heartless man, but she didn't mention that she had cheated on him and was pregnant with someone else's child, and then she turned around and demanded money.

Taking advantage of their momentary lapse in attention, Bai Weiwei turned to run away, only to bump into a wall of people.

"Bai Weiwei, you still want to run away?"

When Bai Weiwei heard that magnetic voice, her heart skipped a beat.

She tensed up completely, feeling as if she were being electrocuted.

Oh no, how did I end up running into him here?

Although she wanted to see him, this wasn't the right time.

Bai Weiwei was forced to slowly raise her head.

The man was wearing sunglasses and a hat, so she didn't meet his beautiful peach blossom eyes.

"Mr. Xie?"

Xie Zheng pulled his sunglasses up over his nose, looked at the woman in front of him whose eyes were darting around, and questioned, "Bai Weiwei, you really can't change your ways. You harmed Bai Zhi before, and now you're colluding with that woman to harm Boss Ye?"

Bai Weiwei quickly denied it, "Mr. Xie, you've misunderstood, I didn't."

She would never admit to Xie Zheng that she harbored resentment because she failed her job interview yesterday and that she colluded with Li Li to ruin Ye Tiandong's reputation.

"You still won't admit it? How could you be here if you weren't colluding?" Xie Zheng was no pushover either, especially since Bai Weiwei had always had a negative image in his eyes.

Bai Weiwei's eyes darted around as she began to make excuses, "I was trying to persuade her not to act impulsively and cause trouble. Today is a big day for Boss Ye's business opening. If things get out of hand, it will ruin Boss Ye's reputation."

Xie Zheng sneered, "Get lost. Boss Ye is upright and has nothing to fear. What reputation can he ruin? On the contrary, you two are maliciously framing and causing trouble. With Boss Ye's abilities, it's no problem for you to be sentenced to three to five years."

Upon hearing Xie Zheng's words, Bai Weiwei trembled with fear.

She almost forgot that although Ye Tiandong was a businesswoman, she was related to the Lu family. If she offended the military compound, she would never have a good life.

"Mr. Xie, it really has nothing to do with me. I was just passing by. I'll be going now."

Bai Weiwei didn't care about her image in Xie Zheng's eyes. Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, she hurriedly slipped past him and ran away without looking back.

Li Li stomped her feet in anger when she saw Bai Weiwei deserting her post.

"Cousin, I only came here to witness Tian Dong's success and to be happy for him. I have no other intentions." Li Li knew that her plan had fallen through since she had run into Ye Jingsong today.

I might end up being sent to jail myself.

At this point, she could only give in, calling him "cousin" repeatedly, hoping that Ye Jingsong would let her go.

Ye Jingsong naturally couldn't believe her nonsense, and he said to Ye Rufeng,

"Second Uncle, I'll take this woman away first. I need to keep an eye on her to prevent her from causing trouble. You go in first."
