After this incident, Ye Zhenghua felt that his relationship with Ye Linchen had improved considerably.
He turned to Ye Linchen and said, "Xiaochen, how about we go out for a meal together? Consider it Dad's treat, okay?"
Ye Linchen refused without hesitation: "No need, I have other things to do."
She agreed to go out with Ye Zhenghua on business mainly because it would be beneficial to report the Zhang family, and also to repay a favor to her twin brother.
Now that the matter is settled, she no longer wants to have anything to do with Ye Zhenghua.
At the same time, she sighed inwardly.
It's such a shame that she was harmed to such a state by such a stupid and short-sighted family in her past life!
Ye Zhenghua wanted to try again, but Ye Linchen didn't give him a chance at all and left without looking back.
As Ye Zhenghua watched her retreating figure, he felt as if a piece of flesh had been ripped from his heart, causing him excruciating pain.
Twenty thousand yuan is gone, and the relationship with his daughter doesn't seem to have improved at all. This deal isn't worth it.
But what could he do?
Ye Zhenghua sighed helplessly and turned to walk home.
Meng Xueyun didn't go to work today; she took the day off to wait at home for news from Ye Zhenghua. As soon as she saw him return, she rushed over to ask him what was wrong.
"Old Ye, how's it going? Has that brat given in yet? When can we move back to the cadre compound?"
Ye Zhenghua was already feeling the pinch of his money, and when she asked him that question, his anger flared up instantly, and he glared at her and cursed.
"Move? Where to? To jail!"
"Why?" Meng Xueyun asked, completely bewildered. "Didn't you say...?"
Ye Zhenghua interrupted her in a harsh tone.
"Are you still dreaming of becoming the factory manager's wife, buying beautiful clothes, and enjoying a life of luxury at home?"
Meng Xueyun stared at him suspiciously: "What do you mean I'm dreaming? Didn't you tell me that..."
Ye Zhenghua waved his hand impatiently: "Stop dreaming! The Zhang family is already under the watchful eye of the Discipline Inspection Commission. If I dare to take their money, I'll be in jail! I'll be the factory manager in jail, and you'll come with me to live in the jail compound!"
"Huh?" Meng Xueyun opened her mouth wide in surprise.
"What do you mean 'oh'? This is all the trouble your good niece caused! She didn't do her job properly and had to hang out with some shady people. Now look what's happened, she's ruined us all!"
Meng Xueyun only asked one question, but Ye Zhenghua immediately retorted. She was flustered because she hadn't even figured out what had happened.
"Old Ye, what exactly happened? Can you explain it more clearly?"
"How much clearer do you need to be? Don't you understand? The Zhang family is in trouble. Anyone who gets involved with them will be doomed! What's wrong with you? Can't you even understand this?"
"No wonder Xiaohan's grades are so bad, she just can't understand anything she does, it's because there's something wrong with your Meng family's brains!"
Ye Zhenghua grew angrier as he spoke, pointing at Meng Xueyun and cursing.
"Especially you, if you hadn't insisted that Xiao Chen apologize to Zhang Tingting, would we have gotten into so much trouble?"
"Luckily, Xiao Chen is clear-headed, otherwise our whole family would have been ruined by you two!"
Meng Xueyun still didn't understand what had happened to the Zhang family and wanted to ask again, but Ye Zhenghua didn't give her the chance and brought up old grievances.
From the very beginning of her pregnancy with Ye Linchen, Meng Xueyun engaged in feudal superstition and sought out fortune tellers to start her argument.
"If you hadn't been so superstitious, saying that Xiao Chen was your enemy from a past life, would we have thrown her to the countryside? When she came back last year, if you hadn't prevented her from going to school, would she have broken ties with our family? If none of this bothered me, she might still be my director!"
"It's all your fault, your niece's fault. Our Ye family has been ruined by you Mengs. I should have listened to my mother and not married you!"
Meng Xueyun was thoroughly scolded and sat on the sofa with tears in her eyes, not daring to say a word back, but she was very dissatisfied.
Did I do all of this by myself?
Don't you know this?
Don't you agree?
Hmph, if things go well, it's your credit; if things go wrong, it's all my fault?
That's so unreasonable!
Seeing how angry Ye Zhenghua was, she knew that this was a big problem and she was very scared.
Finally, Ye Zhenghua's angry rant subsided, and Meng Xueyun quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to him, asking softly, "Then... what about Xiaohan now? She's still waiting for our help..."
Ye Zhenghua took the water, gulped it down, slammed the glass down on the coffee table, and glared at her irritably.
“Xiaohan was implicated by the Zhang family. Once the Zhang family falls, she will naturally be cleared of suspicion and released.”
Upon hearing this, Meng Xueyun breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense nerves relaxed.
For her, the most important thing was that Meng Zihan was alright.
As for whether Ye Zhenghua received the money or got promoted, she no longer cares.
Judging from the insults he just hurled at her and his disdainful attitude towards her lately, Meng Xueyun had a feeling.
Once Ye Zhenghua becomes the deputy factory director, he'll be incredibly arrogant and won't even look at her anymore. He might even divorce her immediately.
She used to be naive and thought Ye Zhenghua was a kind and righteous person, but after experiencing so much, she has completely seen through Ye Zhenghua.
He's just a selfish, irresponsible coward.
Knowing that as long as the Zhang family falls, Meng Zihan will soon be fine, Meng Xueyun has switched her allegiance to Ye Linchen.
She silently encouraged Ye Linchen.
Ye Linchen, you'd better step up this time and bring down the Zhang family as soon as possible!
Otherwise, I really look down on you!
She felt that just encouraging him wasn't enough, so she whispered to Ye Zhenghua to confirm.
"Old Ye, do you think Xiao Chen can bring down the Zhang family this time?"
"Yes! Xiao Chen has hooked up with a big shot this time, even more powerful than that Zhang guy!"
Otherwise, would I hand over 20,000 yuan?
It's like gods are fighting, and the common people are suffering!
Ye Zhenghua thought angrily.
Meng Xueyun finally felt relieved and said with a smile, "Sit down and rest for a while, I'll go make you lunch."
After saying that, he got up and went to the kitchen to cook, in a good mood.
Xiaohan, just bear with it a little longer, you'll be out soon!
Ye Zhenghua wasn't in a good mood. He sat alone on the sofa, looking like he'd lost his soul, still feeling sorry for the 20,000 yuan that had flown away before he could even warm it up.
Meanwhile, Xu Hongmei was sitting at home, dressed in comfortable pajamas, reading the newspaper, feeling quite happy.
This matter was handled too smoothly. It only cost a little money, yet the Ye family was so grateful that they withdrew their report.
Once the crisis is over, the first person she'll deal with is Ye Linchen!
That's incredibly audacious! She actually dared to report the Zhang family without even bothering to find out what kind of family they are, or whether she can afford to offend them.
And that Ye Zhenghua, that greedy idiot!
She was determined to teach him a lesson and get that 20,000 yuan back.
Become a deputy factory director? Dream on!
As for Meng Zihan, she should also be dealt with and sent to jail!
