At this moment, Ye Linchen's mother, Meng Xueyun, appeared at the door with a smile on her face.
"Who's here? Why aren't you coming in?"
Looking at the young and beautiful Meng Xueyun, Ye Linchen recalled how, in his previous life, on his deathbed, she stood before him and announced something with a face full of disgust.
"We have no money, so we've decided to give up treatment!"
"Even if she were saved, she would have no quality of life. What's the point?"
"If she hates me, let her hate me. As long as she's no longer suffering, I'm not afraid of being hated by her!"
"I did this for her own good."
In fact, Ye Linchen did not have a terminal illness, but she needed money for surgery. Meng Xueyun would rather give the money to Meng Zihan as dowry than save her life.
Her father and brother were just as indifferent as Meng Xueyun, and didn't care whether she lived or died.
All they wanted was to take the money back, keep it for themselves, and not give it to Meng Zihan.
As for Meng Zihan, he whispered in her ear, "A person like you is superfluous to live. The sooner you die, the sooner you'll be free. Maybe you'll be reborn into a good family."
As she wished, Ye Linchen died young with resentment, but instead of being reincarnated, he returned to this family!
This time she won't be foolish enough to let these so-called relatives drain her blood and then ruthlessly kick her away.
When Ye Zhenghua heard Meng Xueyun ask the question, he turned to her and gave her an awkward explanation.
"Xiao Chen is back, I forgot to pick her up."
Xu Yuru looked at Meng Xueyun and shook her head.
“You’re all so foolish. You don’t care about your own daughter at all. The New Year is almost here, and things are so chaotic outside. She’s such a beautiful young woman. You shouldn’t have gone to the countryside to pick her up yourself, or at least waited for her at the station earlier. Xiao Meng, I’m telling you, men are so carefree and don’t think things through. You should have been more calculating.”
Meng Xueyun's smile froze, and she didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Xu Yuru is a loudmouth; if she gets involved in this, the whole factory will know about it tomorrow.
"Auntie, didn't my eldest sister tell Uncle she'd be back tomorrow? Did she get the date wrong?"
Meng Zihan chimed in from the side, shamelessly shifting the blame onto Ye Linchen.
“Yes, yes, we all thought Xiao Chen would be back tomorrow.” Meng Xueyun said immediately, as if she had grasped a lifeline. “How could we forget something so important?”
Her gaze swept over Ye Linchen's face, carrying a warning meaning.
This means she's going to be made the scapegoat.
In his past life, whenever something bad happened in his family, the blame was always placed on Ye Linchen.
Meng Xueyun said that she had just returned from the countryside and didn't know anything. She said that if she made a mistake, no one would hold it against her.
Ye Linchen took on all the responsibilities to please her.
What was the result?
They're pushing their luck!
As a result, the whole family developed a habit of making her step forward and take the blame whenever something bad happened.
Over time, the neighbors all knew that she was short-tempered, unreasonable, and unfilial to her parents.
No one in her family defended her, and no one was grateful to her for it.
In this lifetime, don't expect such good fortune again. Whoever makes a mistake will have to bear the consequences.
Ye Linchen blinked and timidly retorted.
"No, I made it clear to my dad that it's today, and I even asked him if I needed to take the day off. He said no, I can just leave a little early."
Tomorrow is Sunday, so there's no need to ask for leave.
Those who understand will understand.
Seeing that Ye Linchen was not cooperating, Meng Xueyun put on a stern face and scolded, "You lied again and again! Why can't you change!"
She smiled apologetically at Xu Yuru and said, "Sister Xu, that's just how this child is. She was spoiled by her grandmother in the countryside. She has no sense of responsibility. She's afraid of being scolded by us when she does something wrong, so she never admits it. I've taught her many times, but her grandmother spoils her so much that it's useless. Look, she lied about such a small thing again."
Ye Linchen sneered inwardly.
This is her own mother, who lies and ruins her daughter's reputation in front of outsiders without even changing her expression.
"I didn't. My teacher taught me not to lie. I'm telling the truth." Ye Linchen said earnestly, his eyes wide.
“Big sister, you really must have misremembered this time,” Meng Zihan chimed in from the side. “We all know you’re coming back tomorrow.”
Seeing her niece repeatedly come to her rescue, Meng Xueyun nodded in satisfaction: "Sister Xu, it's not that we forgot, it's that Xiao Chen remembered the time wrong."
The Ye brothers quickly chimed in, "That's right, that's right, we knew our eldest sister would be back tomorrow."
Is it even necessary to think about who to side with, your biological mother or your estranged older sister?
Xu Yuru knew exactly what was going on, and her gaze towards Meng Xueyun became complicated.
How can someone make their child take the blame for their own mistakes?
But what could she do?
Expose their lies and help Ye Linchen take them down?
But once the door is closed, Ye Linchen will have to live with them, and in the end, she will be the one who suffers.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuru patted Ye Linchen's shoulder and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's good that you're back. Xiaochen, come inside and warm up."
Ye Linchen stared at her with wide eyes, looking bewildered. Xu Yuru nodded to her, indicating that she understood.
Ye Linchen smiled, "That's good enough."
She knew very well how powerful Xu Yuru was. Tomorrow, the news would spread throughout most of the factory area, and in a few days, it would probably even reach the Dongcheng District where the steel mill was located.
Once Meng Xueyun makes an unreasonable request as she did in her previous life, and he starts making a scene, it will be perfectly legitimate for him to bring up the Ye family.
Ye Zhenghua also realized what was happening and reached out to pull Ye Linchen.
"Xiao Chen, don't stand outside, come in and eat."
He still had some conscience and didn't agree with what the others said.
"Okay, I've delivered the person, I'm leaving now." Xu Yuru turned to go upstairs.
