At the Meng family home, Meng Zihan was sitting on the bed, earnestly trying to persuade Meng Xueyun.
"Auntie, I know you mean well, but you shouldn't be so impatient," Meng Zihan said softly, holding Meng Xueyun's hand.
"How can I not be anxious? Your uncle is about to cut off your family education. How can that be allowed? You're going to university, and you absolutely can't let him down at this crucial moment!"
Meng Xueyun gritted her teeth as she spoke.
"After being married to Ye Zhenghua for so many years, I never realized he was such a heartless person, showing no regard for our past relationship and turning his back on me so easily!"
Meng Zihan wholeheartedly agreed.
She had lived in the Ye family for over a decade, and she knew Ye Zhenghua's temperament better than anyone.
Ye Zhenghua is selfish. As long as it doesn't affect his work, he doesn't care whether it's her or Ye Linchen going to university.
She would even willingly give up Ye Linchen's future in order to make Meng Xueyun happy and maintain family harmony.
If Ye Linchen hadn't made a scene this time, there wouldn't have been this argument today.
So ultimately, it's all Ye Linchen's fault!
If only she were still as well-behaved as before!
How did she become like this?
Selfish, narrow-minded, treacherous and cunning!
I really underestimated Ye Linchen. Not only is she shameless, but she's also willing to go all out. I'll have to be extra careful when dealing with her in the future.
But right now, the more important thing is to figure out how to persuade Meng Xueyun to come down.
Although my uncle didn't really want a divorce this time, he was just threatening and scaring my aunt.
But it's hard to guarantee that if the aunt makes a few more fuss, Ye Zhenghua will get fed up and the threats will become real.
So you must make your aunt calm down and not throw tantrums or threaten divorce all the time.
She didn't want to go out and live a hard life with Meng Xueyun.
If Meng Xueyun can't make a living in Jiangcheng City, she'll have to go back to her hometown. Does that mean she should go back with her and become a country bumpkin like Ye Linchen?
Absolutely impossible!
Meng Zihan hugged Meng Xueyun's arm tightly and said softly, "Aunt, you're wrong about that. Think about it, is Uncle really that kind of person? Why is he like this today? Isn't it because Ye Linchen stirred things up?"
Meng Xueyun suddenly felt as if she had been enlightened.
"No wonder! I knew he wasn't that kind of person! I just don't know what kind of bewitching drug that brat Ye Linchen gave him to make him say such nonsense!"
She grew angrier the more she thought about it and started calculating the accounts.
“When she wasn’t back, our family was so harmonious. Everyone praised us. We were even awarded the title of ‘Five-Good Family’. But as soon as she came back, chaos ensued, and there wasn’t a single day of peace.”
"She caused trouble before even entering the house, making your uncle lose face. And once she's inside, things got even worse. The entire dormitory area had to brave the rain to go find her. Now she's even saying in front of the neighbors that I'm not her biological mother and that I have to go to work to support her!"
"Your two younger brothers have also been instigated by her to become unruly!"
"What a jinx! When the company allocated the housing, they should have moved her household registration and not let her stay at home!"
Seeing that her conversation was getting off-topic, Meng Zihan quickly said, "Auntie, let's not talk about the past. You know what kind of person she is, and you shouldn't fall for her tricks."
"She did all this to make you and your uncle quarrel and break up the Ye family, so that she could get what she wanted."
"She can forget about it!" Meng Xueyun gasped for breath, "That brat, not only did she take my son's life, but she also tries to scheme against me like this! I should have drowned her the moment she was born, so I wouldn't have to suffer like this today!"
Meng Xueyun became more and more enthusiastic in her cursing, uttering all sorts of vulgar and obscene words.
Looking at her ferocious face, Meng Zihan felt disgusted.
She was educated, and she didn't believe a word of the superstitions Meng Xueyun talked about; she only felt contempt for them.
They even looked down on Meng Xueyun.
Uncultured, lazy, reckless, and short-sighted.
If it weren't for the fact that she was willing to pay for her studies and support herself, she wouldn't want to associate with such a vulgar person.
Seeing that Meng Xueyun's insults were getting increasingly outrageous, Meng Zihan stopped her in time: "Aunt, don't take her to heart. We'll just be careful of her from now on."
Meng Xueyun sighed, "I want to, but I don't know why, I can't control my emotions when it comes to her. Now, when I think about what I just did, I can't help but regret it."
But soon, she had a reason: "It's all her fault. She's the nemesis in my life. Meeting her is like encountering a ghost!"
Hearing that she was using the same old tactic again, Meng Zihan became even more impatient.
She didn't show it, but squeezed Meng Xueyun's hand: "That's easy. We'll find a temple in Jiangcheng City, the more efficacious the better, and go to pray together, and then ask a master to exorcise the evil spirits."
"It's not that I'm afraid of her, it's just that I'm afraid that you'll always be so angry, it's not good for your health. I see that you've already had a few gray hairs."
Meng Xueyun was deeply moved, and her eyes welled up with tears.
With the college entrance exam just around the corner, Meng Zihan is still only thinking of herself, willing to spend time accompanying her to the temple to pray, and doesn't even pray for her to get into a good university.
I haven't spoiled this niece for nothing.
She's so sensible, how can I not treat her with all my heart?
Meng Xueyun wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded in agreement: "Yes, I'll pray to the Bodhisattva again so that you can get into a good university."
Meng Zihan naturally didn't believe it.
She got into a good university through her own hard work, it has nothing to do with the Bodhisattva.
She didn't object, but continued to advise, "When your uncle comes back later, apologize to him properly. As long as a quarrel between husband and wife doesn't last overnight, it won't hurt their relationship."
Meng Xueyun bit her lower lip, unwilling.
She didn't want to apologize; she couldn't bring herself to do it.
Ye Zhenghua always used to coax her; there was no reason for her to apologize first.
From now on, I'll be shorter than him.
Seeing Meng Xueyun's expression, Meng Zihan understood and continued to patiently persuade her.
“This time is different from before. This time it has affected Uncle’s work. Aunt, you can’t be confused at this time. If you two really fall out, wouldn’t Ye Linchen get what he wants?”
Upon hearing Ye Linchen's name, Meng Xueyun immediately gave in.
"Alright, when that idiot comes back, I'll have a good talk with him and make sure that brat doesn't get her way!"
Meng Zihan then smiled and leaned against Meng Xueyun's chest to whisper something.
Ye Zhenghua also came out of the police station.
The police officer said that Ye Linchen is not young anymore; he is over eighteen years old and is an adult.
If someone has been away from home for less than 24 hours, a case cannot be filed.
Unable to find Ye Linchen, Ye Zhenghua lost all patience.
Anyway, Ye Linchen had no money, and he would have to come back by dinner time anyway, so he was too lazy to look for it again.
He turned to the twins and said, "You two go back and finish your meal first. I'll go back to the factory and report to the leaders."
The twins hadn't eaten much to begin with, and after running around like that, they were starving and immediately agreed.
The three parted ways at the entrance of the police station and went their separate ways.
Ye Linchen was completely unaware of the chaos at the Ye family's side.
She is preparing her first meal since becoming independent in her rented apartment.
