Ye Qingqing lowered her head and secretly smiled, feeling a little touched. Although the old lady protected her based on the premise that she was her 'granddaughter', she was still very grateful to the old lady.

She used to be blind to people's true nature, thinking the old lady was greedy, stingy, and lacking in manners. But now she understands. No matter how greedy, stingy, or lacking in manners the old lady was, she had never harmed anyone. Everything she had was earned through her own hard work and with her own two hands.

Moreover, how could a widow raise three sons in that era without being greedy, stingy, or taking a shortcut to catch fish?

Compared to Ye Zhiguo, the old lady is much more noble!

Shen Yanhong felt sorry for her daughter and stepped forward to stop the old lady, but her hand was still in a cast and she couldn't pull her away at all. She almost got injured again. Ye Zhiguo couldn't stand it anymore and stepped in to stop the old lady.

"Mom, it's all a misunderstanding. That man is a colleague from my factory, a playboy. He came to our house for dinner, and probably took a liking to Qingqing because he's pretty..."

"You invited that kind of thug to your home for dinner? Are you out of your mind?!"

The old lady was furious and cursed loudly. She could tell that day that the orchid finger was not a good one, and that his eyes were like peach blossoms, flirting with women. She really didn't understand how her son could associate with such a hooligan!

"I already scolded that person today." Ye Zhiguo nodded obsequiously, promising never to invite Wei Yugang to his house again, and only then did the old lady calm down.

Ye Qingqing sneered silently, deliberately darkening her face. She rushed to Ye Lan, who was lying on the ground, and kicked her several times.

"Ye Lan and that orchid-finger girl framed me yesterday, saying I have many men outside. If it weren't for Sister Zhao Di speaking up for me, I would be known as a slut who changes men more often than she changes clothes!"

As Ye Qingqing spoke, she kicked him a few more times. She had been holding back this anger for a long time and could no longer hold it in.

"I didn't..." Ye Lan groaned in pain.

"Quite a few people heard it at the time. Should I go find someone to come and testify?" Ye Qingqing lifted her foot again, and Shen Yanhong became anxious and reached out to grab her.

Ye Qingqing struggled free and then pushed Shen Yanhong away.

Shen Yanhong cried out in pain, clutching her arm and groaning, sweat pouring down her face.

My hand had just started to heal a little when it broke again.

"Qingqing!" Ye Zhiguo rebuked in a deep voice.

"Who told her to rush up here on her own? She's such a good daughter, eating at my house, living at my house, spending my money, and even colluding with some other man to harm me! Dad, if you stop me today, you're not my dad. From now on, you'll just be Ye Lan's dad!"

Ye Qingqing stiffened her neck and glared defiantly at Ye Zhiguo.

Ye Zhiguo's expression changed slightly, his eyes flickered, and he quickly laughed, "What nonsense are you talking about, child? I just said a few words to you, and you don't even recognize your father anymore? What kind of behavior is that!"

"Don't talk about Qingqing either. You're protecting that wild daughter like she's your own eyes. Who can stand that?" The old lady suddenly said, and Ye Zhiguo, feeling embarrassed, chuckled awkwardly.

"That little slut's heart is completely black; it's all your fault for spoiling her!"

The old lady glared at Ye Zhiguo, grabbed a bamboo stick from the cabinet, and started whipping him without warning, cursing as she did so. The old lady valued her reputation more than anything else in her life, even more than money.

In order to protect the reputation of the Ye family, the old lady never spent any time alone with a man during her more than thirty years of widowhood. She rarely even spoke to anyone, for fear that people would gossip and say that she had ruined the reputation of the Ye family.

But Ye Lan has repeatedly ruined the reputation that she has cherished all her life. At this moment, the old lady just wants to beat this little bitch to death!

Ye Lan rolled on the ground, wailing in pain. Shen Yanhong was too busy to help herself, and Ye Zhiguo, afraid of being scolded, could only watch helplessly as Ye Lan was beaten.

But little did they know, this was just the beginning!
