Hearing this, Ye Haiming's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. He was clearly dissatisfied with Ye Huanhuan's petty nitpicking, so he asked impatiently:
"Then tell me, how do you want me to handle this matter? Do you expect me to call people over without any evidence, and then kick them out of the Ye family?"
Realizing he needed Ye Huanhuan's help, Ye Haiming noticed his tone had been somewhat inappropriate, so he softened his words and advised her:
"I've already punished Abner for what happened last time. Starting tomorrow, he'll be heading to W City. He won't pose any threat to you until he returns. As for Xiaoru, I'll teach her a lesson later. Huanhuan, you must understand that you are my and your mother's biological daughter. Xiaoru is just a substitute. So, you don't need to stoop to her level at all, understand?"
Ye Huanhuan sneered inwardly. To expect her to easily forgive the person who framed her was simply a pipe dream!
She's not that aloof!
Since Ye Haiming refused to make a decision for her, she could only retaliate against Ye Ru in her own way.
"Dad, you don't need to say anymore. I will never let this go! I will never let those who have ulterior motives and want to harm me get away with it!"
If I choose to swallow my anger this time, similar things will definitely happen again in the future, and then others will only think that I am weak and easy to bully.
As the saying goes, "There are only those who steal for a thousand days, but not those who guard against thieves for a thousand days." I can't be on edge every day, constantly guarding against other people's schemes!
Besides, I can't always be as lucky as I am now, managing to escape danger unscathed. Since you're unwilling to make decisions for me, there's nothing I can do about the project. You'd better find someone else!
After saying that, Ye Huanhuan turned and left without looking back.
"Stop right there!"
Ye Haiming gave a cold shout, his face full of displeasure, "Huanhuan, are you threatening me?"
Ye Huanhuan turned her head and looked directly at Ye Haiming: "Dad, you misunderstood. I was not threatening you. I was just stating a fact."
Ye Haiming stared into Ye Huanhuan's calm eyes, and suddenly the words Ye Ting had said when she first returned to the Ye family flashed through his mind: Ye Huanhuan was extremely stupid, and even the mere Song family could bully her to this extent.
At the time, even he felt that Ye Huanhuan was not up to the task and was really weak and incompetent.
Looking back now, it's clear he misjudged the situation.
How could someone who is his own flesh and blood be someone who would let others bully them?
He sighed inwardly, and finally had no choice but to concede:
"In that case, Huanhuan, you wait here for a moment, I'll call Xiaoru over right away."
Sure enough, by threatening her with the project, she refused to believe that Ye Haiming would still stand idly by.
Ye Haiming wanted her to get the project, but he also wanted her to let bygones be bygones regarding the framing incident. He wanted both. How could he have such a good deal?
She nodded slightly in agreement, and then sat down comfortably on the sofa in the study.
Ye Haiming dialed Ye Ru's number and ordered her to come to the study immediately in a stern tone.
Soon after, Ye Ru rushed over, her face showing a hint of guilt, but even more so, a sense of grievance.
"Dad, what do you need me for?" Ye Ru asked Ye Haiming.
"Xiaoru, kneel down!" Ye Haiming pointed to the ground and said without room for argument.
Having lived in the Ye family for so many years, this was the first time Ye Ru had been punished like this by Ye Haiming. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she bit her lip, her face full of grievance.
"Dad... what did I do wrong that you're punishing me like this?"
