Feng Linlin tried to persuade Ye Linchen to spend the New Year at her home, but to no avail, so she took her leave.
Ye Linchen had to teach his last class before the new year tonight, so he didn't keep her any longer.
After seeing Feng Linlin off, Ye Linchen glanced at the time. It was almost time for class, so he grabbed his lesson plan and workbook and hurried out the door.
After class, Zhao Yutong's mother smiled and saw Ye Linchen off. Before leaving, she gave Ye Linchen a red envelope, saying it was for the New Year.
Ye Linchen quickly declined, "Auntie, I can't accept this. I just received your red envelope a few days ago."
Zhao Yutong's mother insisted on stuffing the red envelope into Ye Linchen's hand: "Take it, take it! This is different, this is for the New Year! It's not much, just a small token of our appreciation. We're so happy to see Yutong's grades improve little by little! Her father said yesterday that he wanted to invite you to have New Year's Eve dinner with us to thank you properly! I thought you would definitely be home for the New Year, and I didn't want to keep you from coming, so I thought I'd give you this red envelope. You must accept it!"
Since Zhao's mother was adamant, Ye Linchen had no choice but to accept it.
After leaving Zhao Yutong's house, Ye Linchen felt his steps were much lighter and his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Unexpectedly, the tutoring job I started by accident went so smoothly!
The next day was Lunar New Year's Eve.
The streets were deserted and quiet, with few pedestrians and most shopping malls closed, except for a few small shops that were still open.
Ye Linchen made preparations in advance and had already bought all the ingredients for the Chinese New Year.
She plans to make dumplings for lunch today and have hot pot for dinner.
For this reason, she even bought a small electric stove. She plans to watch the Spring Festival Gala while enjoying a steaming hot pot. It would be so pleasant!
Unexpectedly, Ye Linchen had just finished preparing the dumpling filling and was about to roll out the dumpling wrappers when he heard someone knocking on the door.
When they opened the door, they were surprised to find the Ye brothers, Ye Linnan and Ye Linbei, standing outside.
Ye Linchen greeted them as they entered, saying, "What brings you all here? Why aren't you spending the New Year at home? What are you doing here?"
Ye Linnan said sullenly, "Sister, we've come to wish you a Happy New Year."
Seeing their listless appearance, Ye Linchen asked, "Who comes to pay New Year's visits looking so dejected? Tell me, what happened at home this time?"
Ye Linbei stuck out his tongue guiltily: "Sis, I knew I couldn't hide anything from you..."
Ye Linbei spoke clearly and logically, and then told Ye Linchen everything that had happened in the Ye family.
Early this morning, Meng Zihan secretly went back to the Ye family home.
It was Meng Xueyun who let her in, and she even ate all the breakfast she had prepared!
Meng Xueyun then made another breakfast.
When the Ye family got up to eat, Meng Zihan was hiding in the toilet, vomiting violently.
Ye Zhenghua already disliked Meng Zihan, and when he heard Meng Zihan vomit, he cursed at her.
Meng Xueyun then said, "Xiaohan has an upset stomach. She was already feeling unwell. Why are you getting angry instead of caring about her?"
Ye Zhenghua immediately yelled back, "A stomachache? You're kidding me! The whole factory knows she's pregnant! People have even come to congratulate me on becoming a grandfather!"
"Getting pregnant out of wedlock has made me lose all face!"
"She got an upset stomach? Is she a reincarnation of a starving ghost? Has she never had a full meal?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Zihan rushed out of the toilet and started arguing with Ye Zhenghua.
"What have I done to offend you that you're cursing me during the Lunar New Year? I grew up in the Ye family, can't I even go home for the New Year?"
Ye Zhenghua showed her no respect and said directly, "Aren't you married? A married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl; besides, aren't you my daughter too!"
Meng Zihan refused to admit that she was married, and argued, "How could I be married? I just had a relationship, and now we've broken up. Can't I move back in?"
Ye Zhenghua then cursed at Meng Zihan: "Have you no shame? I've never seen a couple go and stay at someone else's house. Didn't you say you didn't care about this lousy place? I begged you to come back, but you still wouldn't. And you even invited me to your house as a guest? I'm going there now, so lead the way!"
Meng Zihan shouted, "I never said such a thing! You are heartless and ungrateful, you don't respect my aunt at all. No wonder you're involved with young girls outside!"
Ye Zhenghua immediately felt guilty, and it took him a long time to scold Meng Zihan: "Nonsense!"
Hearing this, Meng Xueyun sensed something was wrong and quickly asked Meng Zihan, "What young girl?"
Meng Zihan didn't hold back for Ye Zhenghua and immediately exposed him.
"Auntie, don't you know? It's been all over the factory for ages. Uncle is having an affair with that guy in their office, Huang. They're seen holding hands and walking down the street, and even eating together with their faces close together."
Ye Linnan interrupted Ye Linbei and continued, "My mom got angry, yelled at my dad, and even got into a fight with him."
Ye Linbei sighed and said, "It was already chaotic enough, but who knew it would get even more chaotic from here on out."
Just as Ye Zhenghua and Meng Xueyun were having a tiff, Liu Mingxuan came to find Meng Zihan, wanting to take her home with him for the New Year.
Meng Zihan refused to go back and clung to Meng Xueyun, refusing to let go. Ye Zhenghua hated her for exposing his secret and pushed her away. Liu Mingxuan took the opportunity to grab Meng Zihan.
Meng Xueyun deeply hated the two men, and her grief and indignation turned into strength as she punched and kicked Ye Zhenghua and Liu Mingxuan.
In an instant, the four of them started fighting.
In the chaos, someone pushed Meng Zihan to the ground and then kicked her.
Meng Zihan burst into tears, crying out, "It hurts so much!" and blood started flowing from her lower body.
Meng Xueyun sensed something was wrong, so she quickly stopped what she was doing and went to check on Meng Zihan.
Seeing that Meng Zihan was bleeding more and more from her lower body, the whole family panicked.
They stopped fighting and rushed Meng Zihan to the hospital. They also asked the twins to come find Ye Linchen and have him come over as well.
Ye Linbei sighed: "I think my mom definitely wants you to pay the bill. Of course, we can't do that. We didn't plan to tell you. We just wanted to take this opportunity to come see you, wish you a Happy New Year, and then go back home, saying we couldn't find you."
Ye Linchen was stunned.
"Your family had quite a lively New Year celebration this year."
Of course, she couldn't go back to the Ye family to be a blood donor and pay for their blood donations, but that didn't stop her gossipy nature from stirring.
She asked Ye Linbei curiously, "Dad really cheated on me?"
Ye Linbei nodded, quite certain.
“My brother and I followed Dad again. They are very close now. They hold hands secretly when no one is around. We talked to Mom about it twice, but she didn’t take it seriously.”
But now, as soon as Meng Zihan said it, Meng Xueyun believed it.
They felt a little bad.
So, does this mean Ye Zhenghua has truly experienced a resurgence of talent despite his age?
Ye Linchen then asked, "What are Mom and Dad thinking now?"
The twins shook their heads in unison.
"I don't know. With things getting this bad, it seems pointless for the family to continue living together."
"If they get divorced, we have no objection."
At this very moment, in the hospital, Meng Xueyun and Ye Zhenghua were also confronting each other over this matter.
