Ye Linchen left without looking back, leaving Ye Linnan and Ye Linbei standing there.
Ye Linnan watched her figure disappear into the night, and felt inexplicably irritated.
For the first time, he, who had always been carefree, began to doubt his family.
He looked at Ye Linbei, "Xiaobei, don't you think Mom is going a bit too far? My sister is right, why should she sacrifice herself to please Xiaohan?"
Ye Linbei sighed.
"I don't know either. I never thought anything of it before, but now that I think about it, it does seem a bit..."
He didn't say anything more.
"I have a feeling that if something happens to Sister Xiaohan and we need to make sacrifices, Mom will push us out without hesitation," Ye Linnan muttered.
"No, that can't be. We are her own sons. She would never be so biased. Over the years, she has truly loved us."
Although Ye Linbei defended Meng Xueyun, his voice was full of confusion.
Once doubts arise about certain things, they are like cracks that can never be mended and will only grow larger.
The two brothers remained silent for a long time before returning home, their minds heavy with worry.
Pushing open the door, she saw Ye Zhenghua standing in the center of the living room, his face grim, yelling at Meng Xueyun.
"If Xiaochen doesn't come back by tomorrow, go to the police station to report her missing! We must find her!"
Meng Xueyun said impatiently, "This child is really inconsiderate! A girl running around like this late at night, what if something happens to her? Those people outside will gossip about us!"
Meng Zihan muttered softly, "Auntie, Uncle, it's not good if this gets out of hand."
Ye Zhenghua glared at her with an unfriendly expression.
"What can we do? At a time like this, who cares about reputation! This girl is getting more and more outrageous. I don't know who she learned this from in the countryside, to become like this!"
Ye Linnan and Ye Linbei exchanged a glance, both feeling a chill in their hearts.
When my sister ran away from home, my parents weren't concerned about her safety, but rather worried about the damage to their reputation.
Ye Linnan couldn't help but say, "We just saw Sister."
Ye Zhenghua turned around abruptly and asked anxiously.
"Where is she? Why don't you bring her back?"
Ye Linnan lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, "My sister said she doesn't want to come back and told you not to look for her. Just pretend you never had a daughter like her."
As for Ye Linchen's statement that she had already repaid Meng Xueyun's kindness in giving birth, Ye Linnan wisely did not mention it.
Otherwise, Meng Xueyun would definitely be furious.
These words alone infuriated Ye Zhenghua.
He slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "Nonsense! A girl like her shouldn't be home. Does she want to be a laughingstock?" He pointed at the twins and demanded, "What's wrong with you two? Why didn't you stop her and call her back? She only has three yuan on her. Where could she go?"
Meng Xueyun seemed to realize something and shrieked, "No, she has money! Didn't my sister-in-law say she can earn several thousand a month in the countryside? She's pretending to be poor by telling us she has no money!"
Meng Xueyun's voice grew increasingly shrill and her tone increasingly agitated, as if she wished she could immediately drag Ye Linchen back, slap her twice, and force her to hand over all the money.
"That heartless brat, she's probably having a blast with that money right now! And here we are, worrying for nothing! How can there be such selfish people in this world!"
She panicked and said to Ye Zhenghua, "No, we have to go find her right away and get the money back. If we wait any longer, she'll have spent it all! That brat, she spends money so recklessly, she doesn't know how to control herself at all!"
The twins felt a surge of disgust at Meng Xueyun's greedy appearance.
Why should I give her the money that my older sister worked so hard to earn?
Even if they gave it to her, it would only benefit Meng Zihan; the two brothers would definitely not get a single penny.
Ye Zhenghua did not object to Meng Xueyun's words.
Ye Linchen had money but refused to hand it over, and even lied to him, saying he only had three yuan and eighty cents, which made him very unhappy.
She doesn't respect her father at all.
I had trusted her so much and helped her get the chance to take the college entrance exam.
If she's so wary of him now, how can she rely on him after he gets into university?
He looked at the twins and asked, "Where exactly did you see Xiao Chen?"
The two brothers shook their heads in perfect unison.
Meng Xueyun panicked, rushed up to them, and shouted, "Where did you see it? Are you mute? Tell me!"
Ye Linnan didn't know how to answer, so she glanced at Ye Linbei.
"It was on the road, where exactly? I didn't pay attention, I just happened to be wandering around."
Ye Linbei made up stories.
"Didn't you watch where you were going when you turned around? How could you not have noticed?" Meng Zihan asked abruptly.
Ye Linnan gave her a disgruntled glare: "Yeah, is that not allowed?"
Meng Zihan was taken aback, then said, feeling wronged, "Xiao Nan, what's wrong? Do you have a problem with me? Why are you talking to me like that?"
Ye Linbei immediately chimed in to her brother: "Is there something wrong with that tone? What tone should we use when talking to you? Can you teach us?"
"Xiao Bei, why are you like this too? I haven't offended you, have I?"
Meng Zihan's eyes immediately reddened, and she asked pitifully.
Meng Xueyun couldn't bear to see her suffer, and immediately said to the twins, "Xiao Nan, Xiao Bei, this is your older sister. What's your attitude?" As if she understood, she asked again, "Was it that ungrateful wretch who stirred up trouble? Don't fall for her tricks. We're family."
"Yes, I've always protected you all. If you have any complaints, just tell me," Meng Zihan said, wiping away her tears.
In the past, when she acted like this, the twins would immediately soften and try to please her, but today they just felt that she was acting.
hypocritical!
Ye Linbei lowered his eyes, his voice clear: "I just can't remember where I met her. Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Meng Xueyun was furious and shouted, "What exactly did she tell you? You weren't like this before! Are you in cahoots with Ye Linchen to deliberately provoke me?"
Ye Linnan suddenly looked up and asked Meng Xueyun, "Mom, why did you stop giving us milk and start tutoring Xiaohan? Between Xiaohan and my eldest sister, who is the Ye family's daughter?"
"Stop your milk supply? What happened?"
Ye Zhenghua hadn't expected this to happen, and turned to look at Meng Xueyun.
"I...I..."
Meng Xueyun glanced at Meng Zihan, unsure how to explain.
Ye Linbei, standing nearby, said slyly, "Don't ask my mom, it was Xiaohan's idea."
Seeing that the fire was spreading to her, Meng Zihan could no longer hold back her tears and quickly said, "No, that's not it. Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei misunderstood. I said to stop my milk. You can ask Auntie if you don't believe me."
"Yes, that's what Xiaohan said. I didn't agree. She's in the final sprint and needs extra nutrition. How could she stop?"
"So you're stopping us? We don't need nutritional supplements?"
Ye Linnan asked immediately.
