After a drunken awakening, Ye Baoling transmigrated into a short drama script. She became a wealthy fifth-generation young lady who was pitifully left in the care of her divorced parents. Staring a...
Chapter 68: A Climax
The crystal chandelier in the lobby on the third floor of Xihe Building seemed brighter than usual.
The Ye brothers, Ye Qizu and Ye Qizong, sat on the sofa in the center of the hall, while the younger generation stood scattered around them.
Ye Kaimin, who had just been at loggerheads, finally realized that his daughter was the girl who had been rumored to have married Ye Huaizhang to bring him good luck.
How embarrassing! So embarrassing!
The eldest daughter of the eldest son's family had actually "fallen" to the point of being used as a bride for the eldest grandson of the third son's family to bring good fortune.
Ye Qizu was clearly unable to accept this reality either. He angrily shouted, "You bastard! Get a divorce right now!"
She could get a divorce, but Ye Baoling deliberately provoked her grandfather: "Why should I get a divorce?"
Almost simultaneously, Ye Huaizhang also said, "My husband and I have a very good relationship and have never thought about getting a divorce."
Ye Leqiong and Ye Leyan were nervously fidgeting with their fingers.
Ye Qizu: "Not only do you share the same surname, Ye, but you also share the same great-great-grandfather! According to tradition, you cannot marry. This is against all moral principles!"
He was almost about to say "incest" aloud.
Ye Qizong chimed in, "You are Chinese, and according to Chinese tradition, your relationship means you cannot marry. You are incestuous relatives, do you understand? Don't you have any shame!"
Ye Baoling looked at Ye Qizong: "Third Uncle, if we're talking about consanguineous marriage, you married your own cousin. Your blood relationship with Third Aunt is much closer than my relationship with Ye Huaizhang."
Ye Qizong was shocked that Ye Baoling would bring him up. He retorted angrily, "My wife and I are cousins, but we have different surnames! We're completely different from you. If this happened decades ago, you'd be drowned in a pig cage!"
How foolish! They even dared to suggest drowning a pig in a cage.
Ye Huaizhang presented them with scientific data: "This is not decades ago, this is 1987, a modern civilized society, not a patriarchal society. Although Bao Ling and I share the same surname, biologically speaking, our genetic overlap is only 0.39%, while that of cousins is 12.5%. Your blood relationship is 32 times closer than ours."
Everyone was astonished!
They had never understood these kinship relationships from a scientific perspective before, and many of them lacked this knowledge.
However, this clearly failed to convince the old Dengs who considered patrilineal legitimacy to be the orthodox lineage.
Ye Qizong waved his hand irritably: "Don't tell me that. All I know is that for thousands of years, Chinese people have been able to marry cousins, but people with the same surname have never married!"
Despite his kind words, the other party completely ignored him. Ye Huaizhang was prepared for this, and he retorted, "Then please ask Uncle San to go back to old China and talk to the ancients. According to modern law, whether in the mainland or Hong Kong, Bao Ling and I can get married. We meet the legal requirements and are a legal couple. We are adults, and no one's objection can change that."
In this situation, the only option is to be assertive.
Let his grandmother handle the softer words.
Ye Qizong's brain has become rusty. "Even in the most modern society, it is still a patriarchal society. People worship the same ancestral hall and share the same ancestor. If word gets out that you two, siblings from the same clan, are getting married, it will be a laughing stock!"
Compared to Ye Qizong's rage, Ye Huaizhang remained calm: "If you force us to divorce, that would be a joke. Your eldest son's family and our third son's family would become the laughingstock of our circle. A joke caused by our own guilt and living in the old society. Why should we, as a couple, become the laughingstock of others along with you?"
"!!!"
Well said.
The Ye Leqiong sisters almost screamed and cheered.
Ye Baoling was satisfied with Ye Huaizhang's performance; she could remain completely silent during this segment.
After his anger subsided, Ye Qizu gradually calmed down, and it was impossible for him to accept their marriage.
But the person standing in front of him was, after all, Ye Huaizhang.
The third son of the Li family, whose wealth and power rival those of the Li family.
Moreover, the more Ye Qizu opposes it, the higher his third brother will jump.
He pressed down Ye Qizong, who was about to retort: "It's useless to talk to these young people. I want to talk to the head of the third branch of the family."
Since they're already married, forcing them to divorce would only make them a bigger joke.
Ye Huaizhang's attitude softened as well: "My grandmother will talk to my second uncle in person on her way back."
Seeing that Ye Huaizhang had lowered his stance, Ye Qizu took the opportunity to step down. He glanced at the crowd of onlookers and said, "Go back, everyone. Don't crowd around here."
Ye Kaimin had finally realized that no matter what old traditions were, a capable son-in-law was more important than anything else.
So he added, "Let's call it a day."
Ye Qizong, Ye Kaishen, and others felt very uncomfortable. They originally wanted to catch their husbands in adultery, but instead, the old man found out such an excellent grandson-in-law!
Ye Qizong was still unconvinced. "When the third branch of the family arrives, let me know. More people mean more mouths to feed."
It means he can help argue.
Ye Qizu remained silent.
Zheng Junni and her daughter Ye Baoxin were completely dumbfounded. Who would have thought they were a legitimate married couple?
Originally, people only dared to operate underground, secretly, but they indirectly helped bring it into the open.
From now on, won't they have to be even more mindful of Ye Baoling's mood?
Zheng Junni became angrier the more she thought about it.
However, she couldn't say anything in public, so if she wanted to stir up trouble, she could only go back and fan the flames with Ye Kaimin.
"You just left like that?"
The speaker was Ye Baoling.
Everyone turned to look at her, and Ye Qizong retorted, "You want us to stay and watch the show?"
"Yes, let's stay and watch the fun."
Everyone looked at each other, wondering what Ye Baoling was up to.
Ye Qizu was slightly impatient: "Let's talk about it when the third branch of the family arrives."
Ignoring her grandfather, Ye Baoling picked up the photos on the table and turned to Ye Kaishen and Feng Yufang: "Who took these photos?"
Feng Yufang quickly clarified: "We didn't hire anyone to take these photos, Baoling, don't misunderstand. These were taken by paparazzi and then sold to us."
Ye Baoling countered, "Why don't you sell your paparazzi services to others?"
Feng Yufang hesitated for a moment, then said guiltily, "How would I know?"
Ye Baoling: "Is it possible that the mastermind behind this wants to use you as pawns to kill the people they want to kill?"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Junni's expression immediately changed.
Ye Baoxin, who was holding her mother's hand and preparing to go downstairs together, suddenly felt her hand tighten.
Could it be that Ye Baoling has discovered something?
The onlookers all stopped in their tracks and stood still.
Feng Yufang wasn't stupid; she immediately realized that she and her husband might be being used by someone else, but she still asked, "What do you mean?"
"Uncle Shen, Aunt Fang, you are good people." Ye Baoling started by playing the good guy card, as usual. "But people who want to take advantage of you are no good. Last time at the company, Uncle Shen and I seemed to have a bit of a disagreement, but I know you are people who separate public and private matters. No matter how unpleasant things are at the company, you would never target me privately."
How could they refuse such a beautiful and comfortable hat from Ye Baoling?
Ye Kaishen hissed, "That's true, why us of all people?"
Ye Baoling: "Those who want to take advantage of you don't think that way. They're judging you by their own petty standards. They think you must hate me to the core. That's why they chose to have someone sell the photos to you. They think you'll release these photos to the media to solidify my image as a womanizer and bisexual. With Bao Shun's example first, if I were to follow suit, our eldest son's family would truly become a laughing stock."
Ye Kaimin sensed something was wrong and quickly said, "Ye Baoling, just say what you want to say. Who are you trying to say?"
Ye Baoling turned to look at Ye Kaimin: "Dad, do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?"
"What do you mean? Am I out of my mind to frame my own daughter?" Ye Kaimin's eyes widened.
“You might not,” Ye Baoling said, looking at Zheng Junni, “but your wife might not.”
Suppressing the urge to jump up, Zheng Junni frowned and tried to speak gently: "Baoling, I know you have a lot of grievances against me, but you don't have to target me like this, do you? What good did it do me to frame you? Absolutely nothing. Wouldn't it be better for us if you were better off?"
Ye Baoling laughed, "That's what a normal person would think. Unfortunately, you're not a normal person."
"Ye Baoling!" Ye Kaimin shouted angrily, "That's enough. You don't know when to talk nonsense."
Ye Huaizhang stopped Ye Kaimin, who was about to rush in front of Ye Baoling, and said very calmly, "Father-in-law, please don't get so agitated."
Father-in-law!
Ye Kaimin: "..."
The Ye Leqiong sisters, who were just shipping couples, are now listening intently to the gossip.
Ye Baoxin defended her mother: "Baoling, calm down. Don't slander people without evidence."
Ye Baoling ignored Ye Baoxin and looked at Zheng Junni. "I'll give you a chance. If you admit it, I'll let you off the hook today. We won't talk about your other dirty deeds for now."
Zheng Junni's facial muscles twitched involuntarily. "You...you're trying to trick me, aren't you?"
"You're not going to take the chance you were given?"
Junnie Zheng: "..."
Ye Baoling reached out her hand to Chen Yulan.
Chen Yulan took the photo out of her handbag and handed it to her.
Ye Baoling took out the first photo: "This person is a private investigator, surnamed Liu. These photos were taken by him."
He then produced a second photograph: "This man is called Afa. He sold the photographs to Uncle Shen and Aunt Fang respectively..."
Feng Yufang walked over and took a look. "It's him!"
Ye Baoling continued: "He earned 50,000 from Uncle Shen and 30,000 from Aunt Fang."
Ye Kaishen and Feng Yufang exchanged an awkward glance. He should have just admitted that he had spent 50,000 yuan.
When Zheng Junni heard the name "Afa", she became nervous. How could it be him who went to sell women?
Someone asked, "Who is this Ah Fa?"
Ye Baoling turned to Zheng Junni: "Who is this Afa?"
Zheng Junni glanced away: "I don't know him. How would I know who he is?"
Ye Baoling took out a third photo. "This person is Afeng, and Afa is Afeng's boyfriend. As for who Afeng is, you can't pretend you don't know anymore, can you?"
Zheng Junni: "Ah Feng is indeed a distant relative of mine. She came to help out for a few months, but she left the Ye family a long time ago. I haven't been in contact with her for several months. How would I know who her boyfriend is? How would I know that her boyfriend would sell these photos to Ye Kaishen and his wife?"
The astute onlookers have probably already figured it out.
Those who aren't smart are still confused.
Liang Meiyun couldn't help but retort, "How is it such a coincidence that it's your relative selling it? Are you still trying to deny it?"
Zheng Junni looked completely innocent: "She's a distant relative who used to help out at our house. Maybe she secretly saved all the phone numbers of people in our family and is trying to blackmail me... I can't clear my name no matter what."
Ye Baoling held up the photo: "Why did this Ah Feng leave the Ye family? Because she slandered me, saying I was a lesbian. I had a fight with my dad, and that's why he kicked her out. Right, Dad!"
Ye Kaimin remained silent.
Zheng Junni nodded: "Yes, that's why she harbors resentment towards you and wants to take revenge on you through Ye Kaishen and his group."
"How dare she, a mere girl, retaliate against me?"
"Wasn't her boyfriend helping her? That boyfriend doesn't seem like a good person. This Ah Feng too, she wanted to make quick money, she was just confused and did something like this."
"Really?" Ye Baoling called downstairs, "Bring them up!"
Soon, Chen Weiqiang brought Ah Feng and Ah Fa up.
Upon seeing Ah Feng, Zheng Junni was visibly taken aback. It turned out that Ye Baoling and Ye Huaizhang had been prepared and waiting for her all along.
She gritted her teeth, her face showing a mixture of innocent bewilderment: "What are you doing? You're illegally detaining me."
Ye Baoling: "What illegal detention? They did it voluntarily. Isn't that right, Ah Feng?"
Ah Feng didn't dare say "no," so she nodded awkwardly, "I came voluntarily."
Ye Baoling pointed to the photos on the table and asked Ah Feng, "Tell me, where did these photos come from?"
Ah Feng truthfully replied, "I hired a private investigator to take the photos."
Why did you suddenly hire a private investigator to photograph me? Who paid you?
Ah Feng lowered her head, not daring to look at anyone else: "The money the First Madam gave me was for her to hire a private investigator to follow the Eldest Miss."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately looked at Zheng Junni.
Zheng Junni said urgently, "Ah Feng, don't you dare team up with outsiders to deal with me for money."
Ye Kaishen asked Ah Feng, "You took the photos, why did you sell them to me?"
Ah Feng kept her head down, not looking at anyone: "The eldest madam said that you and the eldest young lady have a conflict, and you will definitely try to make things bigger."
Feng Yufang angrily grabbed Zheng Junni: "Is this how you make money off me?"
Money is a small matter. Ye Kaishen and Feng Yufang almost fell for her trap, but fortunately they didn't make a big fuss about it.
Zheng Junni denied it: "When did I ever tell you to make money off Ye Kaishen and his gang?"
Ah Feng: "You hired a private investigator to sell the photos, but we wanted to earn some money to help support our family, so we sold them ourselves."
Zheng Junni angrily rebuked, "You're spouting nonsense and full of lies! Did you take Bao Ling's photos because your boyfriend persuaded you to? You want to make money, but you're pushing it onto me! Ah Feng, I've treated you well, how am I supposed to explain this to your parents!"
Clearly, she was trying to use her parents to control Ah Feng.
Ah Feng waved her hand and protested, "I didn't lie. I'm sorry, Auntie."
"Don't apologize to me. I don't have a niece like you."
The Ye sisters looked at each other, too young to tell who was telling the truth.
Ye Kaimin had already guessed that Zheng Junni was the one behind it all, since she was the one who exposed Ye Baoshun's affair.
But at this point, he could only try to protect his wife and save face, so he questioned Ah Feng: "Do you have any evidence to support your claims?"
Ah Feng shook her head to indicate no.
Zheng Junni breathed a sigh of relief, relieved that there was no evidence.
She was afraid that Ah Feng had been holding back.
Ye Baoling: "Speaking of evidence, we need to sort out why Zheng Junni thought of hiring a private investigator to photograph me. It's because she tasted the benefits when she exposed Baoshun before."
Liang Meiyun chimed in, "That's right! The reason our Baoshun's matter has become such a big fuss is because she deliberately exposed it."
Ye Baoling looked at Afeng: "Was Ye Baoshun's matter also related to you?"
Ah Feng nodded: "The eldest madam had Ah Jin call me. They also told me not to use the home phone to call the Sunday magazine's whistleblower hotline. I went to the nearby convenience store to make the call."
Ye Baoling took out a document: "This is a tip-off call made to Sunday magazine. The address is a small shop in the North District, near Ah Feng's shop."
She turned to the second page: "This is the phone communication record of Ah Feng's home phone over the past few months. On the day Sunday broke the news, Ah Jin called Ah Feng in the morning using the phone on the first floor of Sheng Yue Lou. In the afternoon, Ah Jin called again to confirm whether Ah Feng had completed the task. This can corroborate what Ah Hong overheard about the conversation between Zheng Junni and Ah Jin."
Liang Meiyun: "Yes, Ah Hong didn't lie! That makes two witnesses now."
Ye Qizu's expression gradually turned cold, while Ye Baoshun's gaze grew increasingly resentful.
People who were whispering just moments ago have now fallen silent.
Ye Baoling continued, "It's still this communication record. Just this week, Zheng Junni used her bedroom landline to call Afeng eight times. I want to ask, Ms. Zheng Junni, why are you calling Afeng so frequently? Don't tell me someone else used your room phone to call Afeng. Besides you and my dad, who would dare to use your phone in your bedroom? And use it so frequently?"
Zheng Junni hadn't expected Ye Baoling to be so well-prepared. She stammered and said, "I... have an itchy head. I called Ah Feng to ask about her secret remedy for treating scalp irritation."
"Does a scalp treatment really require this much phone calling?"
“If it doesn’t work, of course I’ll ask repeatedly what kind of ointment to buy, where to buy it, and how to use it. The girls downstairs all know that.” Zheng Junni’s voice rose a few decibels. “You can go and ask.”
Ye Baoling laughed, "Zheng Junni, do you know what the biggest difference is between telling the truth and lying?"
Zheng Junni looked at Ye Baoling, who clearly didn't know.
Everyone listened quietly.
Ye Baoling: "The truth is, no matter how we talk or what angle we approach it from, it's all true. Lies are fragmented; you make up whatever is in your favor. But you might quickly forget the lies you made up earlier because they're not true. So the lies from one beginning to the next are very likely to contradict each other."
Zheng Junni looked completely bewildered: "What are you trying to say?"
Ye Baoling said calmly, "In just half an hour, have you already forgotten the lies you told?"
"What do you want to say!" Zheng Junni was angered by her.
"What did you say when I showed you Ah Feng's photo? You said Ah Feng is indeed a distant relative, but you haven't been in contact for several months." Ye Baoling raised her voice slightly. "Eight phone calls a week and you call that no contact?!"
Zheng Junni's heart skipped a beat: "!"
The others were also secretly startled. After Ye Baoling's reminder, they all remembered that Zheng Junni had indeed said that she and A Feng had not been in contact for several months in order to distance herself from them.
Ye Baoling's brain, her logic, is divine!
Ye Huaizhang had always known that his wife was intelligent and eloquent, but today he witnessed her intelligence on a larger scale.
Ye Leyan's eyes were practically sparkling.
Ah Feng, caught red-handed by Ye Baoling, quickly retorted, "She didn't ask me about the ointment. I don't know anything about ointment. She called me mainly because..."
Zheng Junni was terrified that she would expose her fake son. She was confused; Ah Feng still had leverage over her son!
That's what's going to kill her.
Even if Ah Feng has no evidence, as long as she reveals it and the Ye family conducts a paternity test, she's finished.
Zheng Junni quickly admitted, "It was me. It was me. It has nothing to do with Ah Feng. Please don't make things difficult for her anymore."
Ye Baoling's lips curled up slightly: "Are you afraid that Ah Feng will reveal more secrets?"
Zheng Junni's throat went dry with nervousness. "Ah Feng and I... we're relatives. I admit it, I'm the one who exposed it. Please don't make things difficult for her anymore, okay?"
She looked at Ah Feng, who nodded at her, seemingly reassuring her that she hadn't betrayed her biggest secret.
Zheng Junni calmed down a little, and quickly took the blame, saying in a tearful voice, "I've always held a grudge against Liang Meiyun for tearing up the amulet, so when I found out about Ye Baoshun and Lü Tianyou's affair, I just wanted to embarrass him. But I didn't expect it to blow up like this, and I didn't expect the paparazzi to take such shocking photos..."
She caught a glimpse of Ye Baoshun's clenched fists out of the corner of her eye, which looked rather frightening, so she quickly changed the subject, "As for Baoling and Ye Huaizhang's matter, I didn't dare to show the photos myself after I took them, so I had someone else give them to the old man. If I were a little more wicked, wouldn't it have been better to just give them to the paparazzi?"
Ye Baoling laughed, "So you're not a bad person after all? Should I thank you then?"
Junnie Zheng: "..."
Ye Kaimin was so angry he wanted to hit someone, "Aren't you ashamed?!"
"I was wrong. Master, husband, second uncle and aunt, Baoling and Baoshun, I was wrong, please forgive me." Zheng Junni knelt down. "Baoling, please forgive me. I was confused for a moment."
Ye Baoling ignored her.
Others either looked on with disdain or watched the spectacle, and no one came to help her.
Ye Baoxin stood aside, feeling as if she were being tortured. She never expected that things would turn out this way.
Liang Meiyun sneered: "Stop with the high-sounding words. Tonight, I'm standing here just to watch you put on a show. I even wanted to applaud you; your acting was so good! Aren't you just afraid that Ah Feng will expose more of her secrets? Do you have other things you're hiding? Why did you kneel down so quickly all of a sudden!"
Ye Baoling fell silent at this point.
She didn't want to expose the fake grandson, lest her grandfather and father turn against her in the end.
She just wanted to watch the show.
Her second uncle and aunt were the most suitable to take the lead in this matter.
"Why aren't you saying anything?!" Liang Meiyun glared at Zheng Junni.
Zheng Junni was momentarily dazed, then shifted the blame to Liang Meiyun: "If you hadn't torn up the amulet, none of this would have happened in our family."
"Yeah?"
Ye Baoling stole the show in the first half, now it's Liang Meiyun's turn.
Liang Meiyun raised her voice, a hint of mockery in her tone, and said, "Did my tearing up the amulet cause you to have a difficult childbirth? Or did my tearing up the amulet disrupt your plans?"
Ye Qizu looked puzzled, then became anxious: "What else is there?! Speak quickly if you have something to say."
Ye Kaisi took out a document: "Dad, this is a paternity test."
As he spoke, he handed the document to Ye Kaimin: "Brother, I feel sorry for you. Take a look."
Ye Kaimin looked completely bewildered. His English was fairly good, but the document contained too many technical terms, which he only vaguely understood: "What does it mean?"
Ye Kaisi: "This is your paternity test with Ye Baoxian. You have been ruled out as father and son."
Liang Meiyun added, "Ye Baoxian is not your son. He is not a member of our Ye family."
Like a bolt from the blue, Ye Kaimin's eyes widened, and he was completely dumbfounded.
"Impossible! Impossible!"
"This also rules out the possibility of a mother-son relationship between him and Zheng Junni. This is the bastard that Zheng Junni brought back from outside, hoping to replace our Baoshun!" Liang Meiyun said the last sentence very loudly.
Is Ye Baoxian the fake grandson of the eldest son of the old family?
Ye Qizu stood up, but perhaps because he stood up too suddenly, his blood pressure spiked and he collapsed.
Uncle Xing and the others rushed over. Ye Qizu had just taken his medicine and was still holding on. He waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. I'm fine."
Ye Qizong asked worriedly, "Second brother, should we call a doctor?"
Yeh Chi-tsu reiterated, "I'm fine."
Ye Qizong, Ye Kaishen, and the others dared not speak out of turn. The matter of the fake grandson was no joke. If Ye Qizu thought they were mocking him, the stubborn old man would definitely hold a grudge.
Zheng Junni hadn't expected things to turn out this way. Her mind was buzzing, but she immediately snapped out of it. She couldn't just admit it like that.
Ye Baoxin was also completely bewildered. "Mommy, has my little brother been switched?"
Yes, someone else replaced him!
With Ye Baoxin's help, Zheng Junni stood up, her face full of innocence: "Baoxian is my son, my own flesh and blood, born via C-section! If not, then the hospital switched my son!"
Ye Leyan's mother was kind-hearted, and she replied, "Yes, could she have been switched at the hospital?"
Liang Meiyun sneered, "Would I dare to speak recklessly without investigating thoroughly? Zheng Junni, why did you choose a small hospital like Peter Hospital to give birth? Because the obstetrician is your classmate. When you gave birth, we were waiting outside the door. Inside, there were two women having C-sections at the same time. One was you, and the other was a woman from the mainland named Gao Aiqun."
"Gao Aiqun's son stayed behind, that's Ye Baoxian. Your child was taken away by Gao Aiqun's so-called family members. I was puzzled at the time; when that family member heard it was a boy, there wasn't a smile on their face, they even looked very nervous. Turns out they switched babies right under our noses! By the way, Afeng was also at the hospital then; Baoling and I both saw her, but she didn't show herself. Was Afeng also there to help?"
Upon hearing this, Ah Feng lowered her head again.
Liang Meiyun continued: "Your child was born with a birth defect, which was already detected during the ultrasound. But you were unwilling to have an abortion, so you gave birth to him and suffered, giving birth to him just to have this big belly during the pregnancy, so that you could eventually exchange it for a healthy child. How cruel you are, Zheng Junni!"
Zheng Junni shook her head, vehemently denying it: "No, you're all ganging up on me to frame me?!"
Liang Meiyun: "Who conspired to frame you?"
Ye Baoling joined the fray at the opportune moment, "You want to say that I am? Our eldest son's family has become like this, Zheng Junni, you are the culprit. On Grandpa's birthday, Afeng told you that she heard me talking to Lü Tianyou and suspected that I was gay. Your first reaction was to let my grandpa know about this immediately."
There's a lot of gossip going on today, all at once, so everyone's heads are held high, no one dares to speak.
Ye Baoling: "But Zheng Junni herself didn't want to step forward, afraid of tarnishing the virtuous and kind reputation you still cared about back then. So, you had Ah Feng put on a show. Who was it for?"
Liang Meiyun wrote: "Who are we putting on this for?"
"It was all an act for Bao Shun. When that idiot Bao Shun found out, he immediately rushed to complain to my grandfather. That's how the whole series of events unfolded. You ruined Bao Shun, and then made his affairs a laughing stock in the whole of Hong Kong. You even tried to use Ye Kaishen to turn my affairs into a laughing stock for others."
Ye Baoshun's forehead veins twitched slightly, and his fists clenched even tighter.
"In your eyes, we, the eldest son's family, are just tools you can manipulate!" Ye Baoling added, not forgetting to humiliate her father at the end, "Of course, my father is your number one toy."
At this moment, Ye Kaimin, who was being mocked, could not hear anything. He had only one thought in mind—Baoxian was his own son.
He did not believe the report his second brother had given him.
He even secretly wished he could bury his head in the sand and not get a blood test.
Ye Qizu wasn't senile; he probably understood by now. His mindset was completely different from Ye Kaimin's all-or-nothing approach. He would never want a grandson who wasn't his own.
With trembling hands, Ye Qizu ordered, "Take away Zheng Junni's maids and this Ah Feng, and interrogate them one by one!"
Uncle Xing quickly responded.
In the midst of the chaos, Ye Baoshun, his eyes bloodshot, rushed out, grabbed Zheng Junni by the neck, and slammed her against a pillar!
The ferocity and speed of that attack were so great that no one had time to stop it.
"Are you trying to make a fool of me?! Are you trying to kill me just to fight for the family fortune?!"
Everyone rushed to pull her away. After breaking free, Zheng Junni covered her bleeding head and ran around the room.
The children screamed and ran away.
The scene was chaotic and comical.
Today's performance was truly spectacular.
Ye Huaizhang quickly pulled his wife aside to prevent her from being bumped into by these lunatics.

Author's Note: Ye Huaizhang: How did I, the protagonist, become a bystander?
Ye Baoling: Hehe.
