Ye Ting staggered and was slapped hard by Ye Haiming, blood instantly trickling from the corner of his mouth.
He turned his face, his eyes icy cold, gave a sneer, and stared at Ye Haiming, saying each word clearly:
"I only have one younger sister, Xiaoru. This bitch doesn't deserve to be my sister at all!"
Ye Haiming trembled with anger at Ye Ting's words. He glared at Ye Ting, his voice hoarse with rage:
"You bastard! Ye Ru is just an adopted daughter that your mother and I brought back; she has no blood relation to us whatsoever. Huanhuan, on the other hand, is the one truly connected to you by blood. She, like you, is our own flesh and blood!"
Ye Ting retorted without backing down, "No! She's just a stranger who's related to me by blood!"
Ye Huanhuan had no interest in listening to this irrelevant nonsense. Her only concern was how Ye Haiming planned to deal with Ye Ting. Her gaze was fixed on Ye Haiming, awaiting his answer.
"Dad, I don't care what Abner's purpose is in doing this, and I don't expect him to accept me as his sister. But I need him to give me a reasonable explanation for slandering me. Otherwise, I will release the video to the public and let everyone see how Ye Ting framed me behind my back!"
Ye Huanhuan's tone was firm and unwavering, leaving no room for negotiation.
"Are you sure you dare to do this?" Ye Ting looked at Ye Huanhuan with disdain in his eyes and asked in a provocative tone.
Why wouldn't I dare?
Ye Huanhuan did not back down, looking directly into Ye Ting's eyes with a determined light in her eyes.
Suddenly, the atmosphere between the two became tense, as if an invisible force was clashing between them, creating a tense standoff.
"Huanhuan, you mustn't be so impulsive!"
Seeing this, Ye Haiming quickly spoke up to stop him: "Dad knows you've been wronged, but this matter cannot be handled like this. If you release the video, my Ye Group will definitely be affected because of your brother."
Ye Huanhuan was well aware of the potential consequences of making the video public, so she didn't upload it directly online. Instead, she handed it over to Ye Haiming to seek justice.
"Dad, what do you think we should do about this?"
“Huanhuan, I know very well that if you really intended to release this video evidence, you would have done so already. Why bother showing it to me? Actually, you just want justice.”
After speaking, Ye Haiming turned to look at Ye Ting and said in an icy tone:
"From this moment on, you're going to the branch office in W City, starting from the bottom. Remember, you're not allowed to reveal your real identity to anyone in the company. Also, I'm cutting off all your financial support. Only when you become the branch manager through your own merit will you be eligible to come back!"
These words, seemingly a punishment, were actually Ye Haiming's way of testing Ye Ting. He then went on to give Ye Ting the following command:
"Also, you must apologize to Huanhuan in front of the whole family. If you don't apologize, I will send Ye Ru to Y country. Without my permission, she is not allowed to return to the country from now on!"
After Ye Haiming brought up Ye Ru, Ye Ting was immediately under Ye Haiming's control.
He dared not disobey the other party's orders, and could only stare at Ye Huanhuan with eyes full of hatred, as if he wanted to devour her alive, while squeezing out a sentence through gritted teeth:
"I understand... I apologize!"
However, Ye Huanhuan didn't care for this reluctant apology. She directly said to Ye Haiming:
"Dad, look at him. He doesn't show any genuine remorse or desire to apologize. Since he's so unwilling to admit his mistakes, I won't force him anymore. As for the video, I can choose not to release it publicly, but I'll have it sent to companies that are at odds with the Ye family. I'm a person who clearly distinguishes between right and wrong. If someone bullies me and tries to smear me, I will retaliate tenfold. Anyway, I've long been used to a life of poverty, and I don't aspire to great wealth in the future. But, can Ye Ting bear the consequences of this?"
These words already carried a threatening undertone, which Ye Haiming naturally understood, but he understood Ye Huanhuan's grievances, so he simply took it as her being willful.
He yelled at Ye Ting, "From today onwards, if you still give my sister that sour look, you can get out of the Ye family. I'll pretend I never had a son like you!"
Ye Ting still looked unwilling.
"Do you think I'm just ignoring you?" Ye Haiming's voice turned colder. "Do you believe I can send Ye Ru back to Y country right now?"
Left with no other choice, Ye Ting could only force a smile that looked more like a grimace, and said awkwardly:
"I understand, little sister. I won't treat you like that again."
In reality, he hated Ye Huanhuan to the core.
Ye Huanhuan's lips curled into a mocking smile as she replied:
"I hope you can remember every word you just said. I'm really looking forward to seeing how you bow your head and admit your mistakes to me in front of Mom and your sister."
Although this statement is not very offensive, it is extremely insulting.
"But it's alright, after all, we're family. No matter how serious or unforgivable your mistake is, as your sister, I must choose to forgive you. However, dear brother, I must remind you that if you were caught with such a fatal flaw outside, they probably wouldn't be as merciful as I am and let you off so easily."
Ye Huanhuan's smile grew even brighter, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. She looked directly at Ye Ting and said in a tone full of disdain:
"After all, outsiders will only try to take advantage of this opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to you and the entire Ye family. Once the Ye family is injured, those people will trample the Ye family under their feet, leaving them no chance to recover."
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned to look at Ye Haiming again, and asked with a half-smile:
"Dad, do you think I'm right?"
Ye Haiming snapped out of his daze after hearing Ye Huanhuan's words, his eyes filled with lingering fear.
Yes, everything Huanhuan said is true.
In City S, there are far too many people who want the Ye family to fall.
If these people really manage to seize the opportunity... the consequences are simply unimaginable!
Ye Ting was already sweating profusely from Ye Huanhuan's words.
He naturally understood this principle.
However, unless Xu Lu and Song Lin intentionally revealed what he did, he believed that no one would be able to find out.
He underestimated Ye Huanhuan's foresight.
From the very beginning, Ye Huanhuan had people watching Song Lin and Xu Lu, which led to the exposure of their affair.
In the end, it was he who underestimated Ye Huanhuan!
