Ye Huanhuan: "Mom and Dad, we haven't even seen the house yet, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Besides, I didn't mean to stop you from leaving, I just have something to talk to you about, I didn't mean any harm."

"We don't want the house anymore. We have nothing to talk to you about, you brat. Tell them to get out of the way right now, or I'll call the police!"

As he spoke, Xia Jianguo took out his phone from his pocket, intending to call the police to handle the matter.

"Mom and Dad, I was just chatting, why are you so agitated? Besides, you didn't even want the house that was offered to you. Are you feeling guilty?"

Xia Jianguo was naturally guilty. He and Li Qin had come to the hotel today with a mission, but now that the mission had failed, not only would they not get the money, but they also didn't know if those people would let Pengpeng go. Thinking of this, he hated Ye Huanhuan even more.

He glared fiercely at Ye Huanhuan and asked:

"What exactly do you want to ask?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask what exactly happened to Xia Pengpeng. How did he get beaten up like that?"

Upon hearing Xia Pengpeng's name, Li Qin couldn't contain her emotions and shouted in a shrill voice:

"It's all because of you, you little bitch! Otherwise, Pengpeng wouldn't have been beaten up and ended up in the hospital!"

"Me?" Ye Huanhuan's expression was mocking: "I didn't send anyone to beat up your good son. There must be some misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding? Stop pretending! You're the one who had my son beaten!" Li Qin pointed at Ye Huanhuan and angrily rebuked her.

"Do you have any evidence? You can't explain this with just words."

"I..." Li Qin was speechless. How could she dare to admit that these were actually the words they used to frame Ye Huanhuan?

"You're accusing me of instigating this without any evidence? Do you think I'm such an unreasonable and domineering person?" Ye Huanhuan said, feigning grievance.

Seeing this, Xia Jianguo quickly tugged at Li Qin's sleeve, signaling her not to act impulsively. Then he turned to Ye Huanhuan and said:

"This might be a misunderstanding. Pengpeng was beaten because he offended someone."

“Since that’s the case, considering we’re siblings, it’s only natural that I, as the older sister, can’t ignore my brother’s injury. Mom and Dad, tell me, which hospital is Pengpeng being treated at? I’ll send someone over right away to have him moved to a better ward and check on his injuries.”

"I don't need your pretense!" Li Qin said, completely unmoved.

"Mom, I'm not pretending. I'm telling the truth. Not only that, after the banquet, I'll do a live stream online and take you to Genting Bay to buy a luxury house. After all, you've raised me for so many years, how can I not repay your kindness?"

Li Qin was actually very interested in the house that Ye Huanhuan mentioned, but Pengpeng was still in that person's hands, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

Moreover, she had already been fooled by Ye Huanhuan once, so she naturally wouldn't easily believe her again. Therefore, no matter how sweet Ye Huanhuan's words were, she could only choose to pretend she couldn't hear them.

"Stop pretending! I'm not going to believe your nonsense anymore! Tell them to move aside, we want to go home!"

Ye Huanhuan: "Mom and Dad, you just said in front of everyone that I'm ungrateful and don't repay your kindness. You also said I hit Pengpeng, causing him to end up in the hospital, and that I smashed up the Xia family's old house, leaving you homeless. Now, I promised to buy you a house to repay your kindness, but you refused. I said I'd arrange for Pengpeng to be treated in the best ward, but you refused again. I don't understand, why did you cause such a scene at my family reunion banquet?"

for what?

Naturally, it's to ruin your reputation and make all the upper class in S City despise you!

However, Xia Jianguo and Li Qin dared not say these words out loud.

Although they didn't say it, everyone who was watching was shrewd and naturally understood the reasoning behind it.

Someone was heard whispering:

"I wonder who instructed Miss Ye's adoptive parents to cause such a scene at her family reunion banquet."

"Yes, didn't you hear what Miss Ye said? Her adoptive parents had never worked before, but now they're suddenly working as waiters in this hotel. They say no one arranged it for them? I don't believe it. There's no such thing as a coincidence in the world."

"That's right, Miss Ye's adoptive parents are absolutely shameless. How dare they come to the hotel to cause trouble and try to damage Miss Ye's reputation? They are truly shameless!"

Hearing these words, Xia Jianguo and his wife looked even more displeased.

Ye Huanhuan asked with a hurt expression, "Mom and Dad, is it really true that someone instructed you to come to the hotel and deliberately frame me?"

Xia Jianguo immediately denied it: "No! No one instructed me!"

"Really not?"

Ye Huanhuan looked incredulous: "Why don't I send someone to ask the hotel manager how you were allowed in?"

"you……"

The Xia couple looked guilty, their eyes darting around. "What are you asking? How we got into the hotel is none of your business."

Ye Huanhuan pressed on: "Mom and Dad, I know you must have been bribed to come to the hotel and deliberately ruin my reputation. Just tell me in front of everyone who instructed you to do this, and I will forgive and forget everything you did before."

Immediately afterwards, Ye Huanhuan began to tempt her with bribes:

"Not only that, I will also make everyone in the Xia family prominent figures in S City, and spend 100 million yuan to register a game company specifically for Pengpeng. What do you think of my terms?"
