In the past, Ye Zhenghua might have patiently gone up to coax Meng Xueyun, persuaded her, and reasoned with her.
But now, seeing Meng Xueyun's unreasonable behavior, he just wanted to take a hammer and smash open her head to see if it was filled with paste or bean curd residue!
He really didn't want to waste words with her, so he said, "How about this, if Xiao Chen really makes this request, we'll pretend to kick Meng Zihan out, and after she gets the money, we'll buy a house and then let Xiao Han move back in."
Whether or not they will move back is another matter.
He certainly hoped that Meng Zihan would never come back.
He finds Meng Zihan more annoying now than Meng Xueyun.
Although she goes to work every day, whenever she's home, she has a dark expression on her face, as if someone owes her money.
He doesn't talk to anyone, and after eating, he pushes his bowl away and goes back to his room to lie down.
He never treated his parents like this before, so why should he have to serve this little princess now!
Meng Xueyun was unaware of Ye Zhenghua's ulterior motives. After thinking about it, she thought the idea was good.
"Okay, but when Xiaohan moves out, you'll have to pay for a room for her."
Ye Zhenghua objected: "Doesn't she have a salary? Why should we pay for it?"
Meng Xueyun immediately exclaimed, "Her salary is so low, what can she do with it? How is she supposed to survive if you make her pay her own rent!"
Ye Zhenghua stood up in annoyance, ignoring her words.
"I'm too lazy to talk to you anymore. We don't know what will happen in the future. I'll go to school and ask Xiaochen tomorrow."
Meng Xueyun, however, refused to give up and kept chasing after him, chattering incessantly.
"You should try to persuade her. We're all family. Xiaohan has already suffered enough. Don't be so relentless towards her."
"What goes around comes around; if you go too far..."
"Okay, okay, stop yelling. It's so annoying. What did I do in my past life to be stuck with you two, aunt and niece, in this life!"
The two entered the bedroom amidst their bickering, unaware that Meng Zihan had overheard their entire conversation without missing a single word.
Meng Zihan lay on the bed, staring fiercely at the door.
Ye Zhenghua and Meng Xueyun have gone too far!
What did they take her for?
Are they lapdogs that come when called and leave when dismissed?
They want to kick her out!
Once she finds an opportunity to turn the tables, she will definitely not let those two get away with it!
***
The next day, Ye Zhenghua took half a day off and rushed to Jiangcheng University.
In order to meet Ye Linchen, he got up early today, bought a few meat buns from a roadside stall, and waited for her downstairs in the girls' dormitory before she went to class.
Ye Linchen has no classes in the first two periods today, but has classes in the third and fourth periods.
She had originally planned to go with Lin Xiaojuan to try out the newly opened breakfast shop outside the university town, then browse the bookstore to see if there were any worthwhile books to buy, and also have Lin Xiaojuan give Ye Zhenghua the 500 yuan bonus and the letter of commendation when she went home.
She didn't plan to go back to the Ye family, so she could only ask Lin Xiaojuan for help.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped out of the dormitory building, I saw Ye Zhenghua standing under the shade of a tree, and I immediately felt annoyed.
Why are you here again?
What's the reason this time?
However, it was just as I intended to give Ye Zhenghua the money and letter that Lin Xiaojuan had originally planned to deliver, so I gave it to him directly.
Ye Zhenghua also saw Ye Linchen, and quickly put on a smile and went to greet him.
"Xiao Chen, how's school lately? Is studying tiring? Do you have classes this morning?"
His tone was incredibly warm and affectionate, exactly like that of a loving father who dotes on his daughter.
Ye Linchen was too lazy to exchange insincere pleasantries with him and said coldly, "No class. Perfect, I have something to give you."
She took the document bag out of her bag and handed it to Ye Zhenghua.
"This is your reward for reporting the Zhang family for bribing you. It's a reward of five hundred yuan and a letter of commendation."
"There really is a reward?"
Ye Zhenghua's smile deepened, and he quickly reached out to take it.
Although five hundred yuan is incomparable to twenty thousand yuan, Ye Zhenghua has a high level of moral character.
In his view, five hundred yuan was more important!
However, upon hearing that there was a letter of commendation, he was not entirely satisfied and asked Ye Linchen.
“Xiao Chen, that’s not right. Shouldn’t acts of bravery like ours be celebrated with a special awards ceremony where we’re invited to give a presentation, talking about our thoughts and feelings at the time, and the internal struggles we went through? I heard that TV stations and newspapers even do interviews…”
Ye Linchen rolled her eyes and interrupted him, "Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the remaining forces of the Zhang family?"
"There...there are still remnants of their power? Didn't the Zhang family fall?"
Ye Zhenghua could hardly believe it.
"Why has the Zhang family been able to act so arrogantly for so many years? Do you think it's just because of a few members of the Zhang family?"
Ye Linchen looked at him expressionlessly. "There's something else. The police have found out that you had previously accepted bribes from Zhang Tingting's mother, which is illegal and criminal. You should be held legally responsible. However, you voluntarily reported her to the police, which is considered an act of redemption. That's why you won't be held legally responsible."
"If a reporter interviewed you and asked you to explain why you accepted the bribe and why you deposited the money in the bank, what would you say?"
"The police know? How could they know?"
After asking the question, Ye Zhenghua realized he had asked a stupid question and quickly changed the subject, weighing the file bag in his hand.
"Hehe, actually, having these isn't bad. I don't ask for much."
Ye Linchen continued, "This reward is to encourage you to repent and give you a chance to start anew..."
Ye Zhenghua felt embarrassed when he heard Ye Linchen giving him a serious political lecture.
