Ye Haiming's voice was deep and powerful, carrying a hint of anger and disappointment:
"What an idiot! Look at the mess you've made! How could I have given birth to such a brainless freak?"
As he spoke, he pointed sharply at Ye Ting's head, as if to convey all his dissatisfaction and blame through this gesture.
"You have two days to remove that video from the internet. Make those two from the Song family take full responsibility, and then publicly clarify online that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Huanhuan. Otherwise, you can forget about getting a single share of the company!"
At this moment, Ye Ting had completely lost his usual arrogance and could only stand there silently, head down, accepting his father's scolding. He even became careful with his breathing, afraid of incurring more reprimands.
"Huanhuan, you've suffered this time."
Ye Haiming's tone gradually softened. He took a bank card out of his pocket, placed it in front of Ye Huanhuan, and said:
"There's 300 million in cash here, take it for now. After the banquet in a few days, Dad will give you another 3% of the Ye Group shares as compensation. What do you think?"
Three hundred million in cash, plus a 3% stake in the Yip Group, is definitely not a small amount.
Such generous compensation is enough to show Ye Haiming's high regard and care for Ye Huanhuan.
Ye Huanhuan knew when to stop and nodded with satisfaction. "Thank you, Dad, for making the decision for me. I am very satisfied."
Then, with a triumphant air, she glanced at Ye Ting defiantly, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said:
"I hope that in the future, brother will think twice before acting and not do things that hurt his sister like this again. If you do it again next time, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Ye Haiming assured Ye Huanhuan, "Huanhuan, don't worry. If he dares to do that again, Dad will definitely teach him a lesson and never let him bully you again."
Then, Ye Haiming turned to look at Ye Ting, his eyes filled with authority and warning, and sternly ordered:
“Go down now and apologize to Huanhuan properly in front of your mother and Xiaoru, so that everyone knows that you have realized your mistake.”
So, all five members of the family gathered in the living room on the first floor.
Ye Ting slowly stepped forward and stood in front of Ye Huanhuan.
His movements were somewhat stiff, like a puppet being manipulated. His face had regained its polite yet distant expression as he whispered to Ye Huanhuan:
"Little sister, I'm sorry, I was wrong to do this, and I hope you can forgive me for my previous behavior."
His tone was sincere, his attitude humble and polite, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with him.
However, only he himself knew that at this moment, his heart was already churning with turmoil, filled with resentment and anger.
Gao Yalan looked completely bewildered. Over the past few days, she had naturally seen the videos online and the comments netizens made about Ye Huanhuan, and she was extremely anxious.
However, she did not understand why Ye Ting apologized to Ye Huanhuan after the brother and sister came out of the study.
Ye Ru seemed to know a little about this, and apart from looking slightly unnatural, she didn't say much.
"Aren't you going to explain to Mom and my sister why you apologized to me?" Ye Huanhuan asked.
Ye Ting took a deep breath, his expression unchanged, but his voice was slightly hoarse with anger:
"The videos online were released at my instigation by Song and Xu."
Ye Huanhuan kindly reminded him, "Brother, it's not just that, there's more to it than that."
Ye Ting's expression gradually darkened, and he said slowly, "I bribed online trolls to slander you."
"Anything else?"
Ye Ting gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, and forced out a sentence through gritted teeth:
What else do you want me to say?
Ye Huanhuan's face was as cold as ice as she questioned, "Shouldn't you give everyone an explanation regarding the abortion?"
Ye Ting glanced at Ye Haiming's face and saw that the other man's face was ashen and he did not say a word, but his eyes revealed an invisible pressure, obviously wanting him to continue speaking.
Ye Ting sighed inwardly, forcibly suppressing his anger, and forced out another sentence through gritted teeth:
"I forced Song and Xu to have abortions and blamed you for Xu Lu's miscarriage."
Upon hearing Ye Ting's words, Gao Yalan's face showed astonishment. She stared at Ye Ting in disbelief, her voice trembling as she said:
"What? Abner, how could you have done this? How could you do such a thing? Huanhuan is your own sister, why would you frame her?"
Ye Ru, standing to the side, narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze flickering uncertainly. She slowly lowered her head, as if trying to conceal some emotion within her.
However, Ye Ting ignored Gao Yalan's questioning.
His gaze was like two cold bolts of lightning, fixed on Ye Huanhuan. His originally indifferent eyes now concealed endless hatred, as if he wanted to devour the person in front of him.
His voice was icy, each word striking the air like a heavy hammer, as he asked, syllable by syllable:
"Are you satisfied now?"
Ye Huanhuan's lips curled up slightly, and a barely perceptible smile crept onto her face.
"Yes, of course I'm satisfied."
Then, she turned to Gao Yalan and said, "Mom, since Abner has apologized, I won't hold it against him anymore."
After saying that, he gave Ye Ting a defiant look.
Gao Yalan still looked at Ye Ting with a sorrowful expression, her eyes filled with expectation and confusion, as if waiting for him to give her a reasonable explanation.
Ye Ting took a deep breath, trying to calm his turbulent emotions, and his expression gradually returned to calm. Just then, Ye Huanhuan suddenly spoke up again, reminding him:
"Don't forget what you promised Dad. Two days is all it takes!"
Ye Haiming also spoke up, "Abner, you have to deal with the video issue as soon as possible. If you mess it up, don't even think about stepping into this house again!" His tone was stern and resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.
Ye Ting nodded slightly and responded to Ye Haiming:
"I understand, Daddy. I will handle this matter properly."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left without hesitation, without the slightest hint of lingering. His figure gradually disappeared into the distance until it vanished outside the gate of the Ye family villa.
However, Gao Yalan seemed unwilling to give up. She wanted to continue asking Ye Ting some questions, but all she could see was Ye Ting's back.
Gao Yalan was very confused and helpless. She couldn't understand why her own brother and sister, who were born from her womb, had fallen to such a state.
Could it be that my decision to bring Huanhuan home was really a mistake?
This question weighed on her heart like a heavy stone, making her feel almost suffocated.
