Ye Zhiguo brought Shen Yanhong, whose face was pale, home. After being exposed to the cold wind all the way, Shen Yanhong went to bed as soon as she got out of the car and went to the kitchen to fill three hot water bottles, using up all the boiling water that the old lady had boiled.

With her life at stake, Shen Yanhong couldn't care less about anything else.

After Shen Yanhong went to her room, the old lady stopped Ye Zhiguo and asked with a dark face, "When do you plan to divorce this slut?"

She would never allow a slut who steals and sells her body to live in her home and tarnish the Ye family's reputation.

Ye Zhiguo, his face dark, gritted his teeth and said, "Mom, I'm already this old, I guess I'll just have to make do!"

He couldn't let that bitch leave for at least three years; he had to keep an eye on her to prevent her from gossiping outside.

The old lady was so angry she almost vomited blood. She slapped Ye Zhiguo hard a few times. "Are you addicted to being cuckolded? This slut and her half-life are not decent people. If we keep them in the house, what will become of the Ye family's reputation?"

Ye Zhiguo asked in surprise, "What happened to Lan'er?"

Although it was not right for Ye Lan to live with Lu Qingquan before marriage, it was understandable for young men and women to be unable to resist each other since they were already engaged. However, judging from the old lady's tone, it seemed that Ye Lan also had relationships with other men.

The old woman cursed, "This little slut not only sleeps with rotten asses, but also with other wild men. Everyone at the hotel knows. You brought this pair of sluts—mother and daughter—home, and the Ye family ancestors have lost all face!"

Ye Zhiguo frowned, half believing and half doubting.

He felt that Ye Lan was not that kind of person, and that she was different from Shen Yanhong. Ye Zhiguo wanted to ask Ye Lan himself, perhaps the old lady was exaggerating, or that she had misunderstood because she had heard some gossip.

"Where's Lan'er?" Ye Zhiguo searched around but couldn't find Ye Lan.

"We've already matched her with someone! This little slut has no clean hands; she's been cheating on men and selling her body outside. Our Ye family can't afford to support this slut!"

Ye Zhiguo grew anxious and raised his voice, "Who should we marry? Mom, why didn't you discuss this with me first?"

The old woman glared fiercely with her triangular eyes and roared, "You're a man, you only need to take care of the important things outside, why bother with the trivial matters inside? That slut Half-Life doesn't deserve anyone, why is she still here to ruin our family's reputation? Besides, you know about this, and you didn't object that day!"

The old lady berated Ye Zhiguo, saying he was asking for trouble for yelling at her over a bastard child.

Ye Zhiguo, speechless from the scolding, asked helplessly, "What's the deal with that man?"

"The conditions are quite good, the family is quite wealthy, it's just that he's a bit old. But being older means he'll be more caring, Ye Lan has actually gotten a good deal. Look, that man paid a deposit of one thousand yuan first, and he'll pay the remaining four thousand yuan when he reaches the right age. He's much more generous than the Lu family."

The old lady took out a thousand yuan and showed it to Ye Zhiguo. She thought it was good that Ye Lan found an old widower. He was half-dead and couldn't possibly be picky. As long as a man was willing to take her, that was fine. At least he wasn't a rotten bastard!

How old are you?

"About the same age as you, but looks younger. She's always worked in an office, so she takes good care of herself and you can't tell her real age," the old lady said casually.

Ye Qingqing found it amusing. That old rogue was clearly more than ten years older than Ye Zhiguo, and he didn't look like a good person at all. At least Ye Zhiguo had a respectable appearance.

Ye Zhiguo's face darkened. She was about the same age as him and not that old. What was his mother doing?

It's still uncertain whether Ye Lan is truly an illegitimate child. If she really is his biological daughter, how could he just stand by and watch her jump into a fire pit?
