This time, Ye Ru did not refute or resist at all. She limped, held onto the edge of the bed, and slowly knelt on the ground.
"Dad...Mom...I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have used such despicable means to deliberately frame Huanhuan. I'll accept any punishment you want, I just beg you, please don't kick me out..."
She watched Ye Haiming and Gao Yalan talking and crying, looking so pitiful that no one could bear to punish her in the slightest.
With red eyes, Ye Ting couldn't help but speak up, "Yes, Daddy, Mommy, Xiaoru already knows she was wrong, please forgive her..."
"Shut up!" Ye Haiming glared fiercely at Ye Ting, then sternly reprimanded Ye Ru:
"Ye Ru, I never imagined you could be so malicious! To resort to such despicable and underhanded tactics to frame Huanhuan, is this how I raised you? Furthermore, you should apologize to Huanhuan, not us!"
Gao Yalan looked at Ye Ru kneeling on the ground with disappointment in her eyes. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Ye Ru sobbed softly as she limped and knelt laboriously toward Ye Huanhuan, each step heavy and strenuous.
When she came to Ye Huanhuan's side, a hint of resentment and unwillingness flashed in her eyes, but she quickly hid it and replaced it with a look of genuine remorse.
She looked up at Ye Huanhuan through teary eyes, her voice choked with emotion:
"Huanhuan, I'm sorry... It's all my fault. I shouldn't have used such despicable means to frame you. Please forgive me this time, okay? I really know I was wrong. I will never do it again."
However, faced with Ye Ru's plea, Ye Huanhuan remained expressionless and coldly replied:
"If it weren't for my parents' sake, I would really like to kick you out of the house!"
Her tone was filled with undisguised disgust as she continued, "You enjoyed the comfortable life that should have been mine for over twenty years, and now I've only been back for less than three months, yet you've repeatedly tried to frame me and even tried to drive me away. Ye Ru, you're really too greedy!"
Hearing this, Ye Ru couldn't help but tug at Ye Huanhuan's clothes and continue to plead:
"Huanhuan, please give me another chance! I promise I'll treat you well from now on and never do anything to hurt you again. I'll do anything you ask as long as you don't kick me out!" Her cries echoed in the room, filled with desolation and sorrow.
Ye Huanhuan pulled her clothes back from Ye Ru's hand and looked down at Ye Ru with a cold gaze.
“I’ve already promised Dad I wouldn’t pursue this matter any further. But that doesn’t mean I’ll forget what you did. I hope you’ll behave yourself in the future and not test my limits again. If you dare to do it again, I won’t hesitate to let you experience the taste of utter disgrace and being despised by everyone!”
Ye Ru's eyes lit up instantly. "Huanhuan, are you serious? You really won't pursue this matter any further?"
Just then, Ye Haiming spoke again:
“Ye Ru, although Huanhuan doesn’t intend to pursue this matter further, you should pay the price for your actions. As an adult, you must take responsibility for your mistakes. From today onwards, you are not allowed to enjoy any of the privileges belonging to the Ye family, including using the Ye family’s resources and connections. In addition, I will deduct your allowance for a year and freeze all the bank cards under your name. I hope this punishment will make you deeply realize your mistakes and start anew.”
Ye Ru's expression froze instantly. She stared wide-eyed at Ye Haiming in disbelief.
She thought the matter was over, but she never expected Ye Haiming to impose such a severe punishment on her.
Her heart sank to the bottom, tears welled up in her eyes, and her lips trembled as she said:
"Dad, how could you do this to me? I only acted impulsively..."
Ye Haiming did not soften his heart because of Ye Ru's pleas, but said seriously:
"Ye Ru, you have to bear the consequences of your mistakes. You're not a child anymore. I hope this lesson will help you grow up and learn to take responsibility for your actions. This matter ends here. You should rest and recover in the hospital. Once you're healed, you can go back to teaching at S University. For the next year, you'll have to support yourself with your own salary. Don't expect me to give you a single penny."
After saying this, Ye Haiming looked at Gao Yalan and warned her, "Wife, you can't give Ye Ru a single penny, do you hear me?"
Gao Yalan did not object to Ye Haiming's arrangements. Although she loved Ye Ru very much, she felt a chill in her heart when she thought about how Ye Ru had used such despicable means to frame Ye Huanhuan.
She nodded slightly, indicating that she understood her husband's meaning, but her eyes remained fixed on Ye Ting.
She had always thought that Ye Ting was managing the branch office in W City, but now seeing Ye Ting like this, her heart couldn't help but ache.
Ye Ting is her precious son. He has never suffered like this since he was a child.
Ye Ting secretly breathed a sigh of relief; compared to the punishment he had received, Ye Ru's punishment was already quite lenient.
After all, restricting the source of income is undoubtedly a heavy blow to someone who is used to enjoying a luxurious lifestyle.
Seeing that the matter was now settled, Ye Huanhuan said:
"Although this matter ends here, Ye Ru, you need to clarify this matter on S University's campus website. I hope that when you clarify, you will not involve me in any further matters. If you cannot do so, I will still post the video of you framing me directly online."
