Under the rising sun, Ye Pengfei showed no signs of the vigor that his peers should have. He stared blankly at Liu Meilan's gaze, which she had forced upon him, as if he were looking at an insignificant stranger.
No, it's still different.
At least when looking at strangers, his eyes don't show any disgust.
That feeling of disgust stung Liu Meilan, causing her to panic and her face to show obvious signs of unease.
She looked at Ye Pengfei with trembling eyes, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.
But the next second, Ye Pengfei shifted his gaze elsewhere, as if he hated meeting her eyes.
Turning his face to the side, his thin lips parted slightly, and his cold voice uttered only one chilling sentence: "If it weren't for your doting on her as her mother, she wouldn't have ended up like this today."
Boom—Liu Meilan's mind went blank.
At this moment, she couldn't even straighten her back, and slumped to the ground, staring blankly at Ye Pengfei standing in front of her.
At that moment, she suddenly realized that her son had grown so tall.
Standing in front of her, so tall, she looked up at him, unable to see his expression, her neck aching from looking up so far.
"Xiaofei, you can't say that..." Liu Meilan said, her voice trembling, tears streaming down her face.
She just wanted to protect her daughter.
As a result, she failed to protect her daughter, who ended up in prison, and her son also became estranged from her.
This is clearly not the outcome she wanted.
She just wanted to give her daughter the best. People say that sons should be raised frugally and daughters should be raised lavishly, but she just wanted to raise her daughter lavishly so that she could marry into a better family.
Isn't a woman's lifelong hope to marry into a good family?
Have high standards, and you won't be fooled by men.
If you have a strong personality, you won't be bullied.
She felt that there was nothing wrong with how she raised Ye Xue, so how could it be her fault that Ye Xue had ended up like this?
"I urge you to wake up."
Ye Yun's voice was cold.
Patting Liu Meilan on the shoulder, she stood up and looked down at her, saying, "Stop pinning your hopes on Ye Xue. Take a good look at your son, lest you end up in your old age with no one to see you off!"
Liu Meilan collapsed with a thud.
With her hands supporting her on the ground, she gazed in the direction Ye Yun had left, and finally, heartbroken, she couldn't help but cover her face and weep.
Xiaoxue, her Xiaoxue...
Although she initially gave birth to this daughter with the intention of helping Ye Xue marry into a good family and enjoy a life of happiness.
Despite her dedication over the past decade, she genuinely loves this daughter.
Her love for her daughter far exceeded her affection for her son. Perhaps because her son had never been close to her since childhood, she never thought about building a good relationship with him. She always felt that her son would not run away, and even if she got old and fell ill and was bedridden, her son would still have to take care of her.
What's wrong with my son again?
My son is a good-for-nothing. He was born in a remote mountain village. What kind of future can he possibly have?
Her daughter is different.
Marrying an official makes her an official's wife, and she can be taken out to enjoy a life of luxury.
"Yes, officials, officials..."
Liu Meilan suddenly remembered that Ye Xue had a boyfriend who was an official.
"what's on your mind?"
A cold voice rang out, and Liu Meilan looked up to see Ye Pengfei frowning at her.
She didn't care about anything else, her heart filled with joy. She grabbed Ye Pengfei's trouser leg and said, "Pengfei, your sister has a boyfriend who's an official. Your sister said that her boyfriend likes her a lot and will definitely rescue her!"
Ye Pengfei's face darkened.
A few seconds later, he chuckled, "So, your heart is still with your sister, isn't it?"
Liu Meilan realized something was off about his words. She forced a smile, tears still glistening in her eyes, and said awkwardly, "Xiaofei, don't say that. She's your own sister. If she succeeds, you'll benefit too..."
"I don't need it."
Ye Pengfei's tone became more serious. He broke free from her grip on his trouser leg and strode away.
He'll go crazy if he stays with Liu Meilan any longer.
Watching Ye Pengfei leave, Liu Meilan not only didn't follow him, but instead wiped away her tears with her sleeve, composed herself, and sat down at the entrance of the courthouse, waiting for her wealthy husband to come and rescue Ye Xue.
Sadly, she didn't know that her wealthy husband was no better.
In the corner, Ye Jian'an was apologizing to Ye Yun.
"Yun girl, it was my fault for Xiaoxue to do this. I apologize to you. Do whatever you want with her, don't worry about me and your brother." Ye Jian'an smoked a cigarette, his old face full of regret behind the thick smoke.
Ye Yun nodded slightly.
"Don't worry, Uncle, I know what I'm doing and won't make things too embarrassing," she said. "It's just that you and Auntie might not have an easy time from now on."
Ye Jian'an waved his hand in annoyance.
If Liu Meilan hadn't spoiled Ye Xue, Ye Xue wouldn't have developed this personality. Now, he feels unlucky whenever he hears Liu Meilan's name.
Sigh... How could such a good child grow up to be like this?
Hiring a hitman to kidnap people.
Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle. How could Ye Jian'an have given birth to such a vicious child!
Overwhelmed with remorse, Ye Jian'an was so agitated that his vision went black, and he uncontrollably fell backward.
"uncle!"
Ye Yun caught him.
Ye Jian'an, who was being supported, weakly waved his hand, unable to say a word. Ye Yun had no choice but to help him sit down next to her and let him catch his breath.
At that moment, the courthouse doors opened.
Those invited to listen in entered one after another. Ye Yun and Qin Zheng exchanged a quick glance before someone came to invite them.
