Chapter 108 Let’s Just Let This Go
She had not originally planned to pursue the matter. When Ji Sichen mentioned suing her last night, she actually felt that it was a bit of an overreaction. She thought that Zhou Yue's apology would give an explanation to everyone in the medical department, and that would be fine.
Who knew this would happen today.
Do you think she is easy to bully?
"Ye Jinmo, our Zhou family has already made such a big concession. It's just a speech. What else do you want? Tell me, how much money do you want?" Zhou Yue snorted coldly.
Father Zhou chimed in and pulled out a few RMB notes from his wallet: "How about one thousand yuan? This money should be enough for your living expenses for a month. The Ye family doesn't want you anymore. Listen to me and don't commit suicide!"
At this time, a fifty-year-old woman in simple clothes walked out of the crowd, took Ye Jinmo's hand, and sympathy was revealed on her weather-beaten face.
"Child, don't bother with them anymore, and don't take their words to heart. Just take the money and leave."
Ye Jinmo held her breath. She knew that the aunt had good intentions and smiled gently at her: "What's wrong with ordinary people? Can ordinary people be slandered by them?"
She turned her gaze back to the Zhou father and daughter: "You swore at me, and you got so angry that you spread obscene rumors about a girl. Is this the Zhou family tradition?"
Zhou's father stepped forward and wanted to pat her shoulder, but she dodged.
He was not annoyed: "Little girl, I see that you are about the same age as my daughter, and I don't want to embarrass you. Just tell President Ji to withdraw the lawsuit and no longer target Zhou. When President Ji doesn't want you anymore, come to me, and I will make sure you have a good life!"
"This matter is very simple for you, it's just a pillow talk. How can you say it's a rumor? You are a country bumpkin whose biological parents are from the countryside. If you didn't rely on this face to climb into Mr. Ji's bed, how could he make a move?"
Zhou Yue looked proud and continued, "Isn't it about the camping a few days ago? I saw that Mr. Ji's tent was not far from your tent..."
"Snap"
Before she could finish, Ye Jinmo raised her hand and slapped her on the other side of the face.
"You dare to hit my daughter? If you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you!"
Zhou's father was completely angry. He originally thought that Ji Sichen was targeting them because of someone, but it turned out to be a young girl with no background at all.
How dare such an ant touch his Zhou family? court death!
He stretched out his hand to strangle Ye Jinmo's neck.
The girl dodged, letting him miss, and grabbed his wrist with her backhand.
Suddenly, Zhou's father felt numb all over and had no strength.
"Boss Zhou, you are so arrogant. This is a society ruled by law. If what you just said gets out, aren't you afraid of being invited to have a chat with the bureau?"
Despite the country's strong crackdown on criminal gangs in recent years, there are still people who dare to speak out openly in public in the capital.
She let go.
Father Zhou collapsed to the ground, glaring at her angrily, cold sweat on his forehead, unable to utter a word.
It’s really strange, how could such a thin little girl have such great strength?
"This imperial capital is your Zhou family's imperial capital."
She left a word and left without looking back.
Zhou Yue was frightened by her aura. Looking at her walking away, he quickly took out his cell phone and called Meng Shanshan.
"Shanshan, Ye Jinmo wants to sue me and she also hurt my dad..."

The weather was already hot, and it was almost noon. There was a lot of traffic on the road, and sprinkler trucks passed by, mixing with the smoky moisture, making people feel stuffy and dry.
Ye Jinmo took a taxi and returned to the Zhong family.
The whole family is here for a family dinner at noon today.
Seeing her come in, the housekeeper called for dinner.
At the dinner table, Mr. Zhong asked a lot of questions about summer camp.
"I heard from Old Man Chu that Jinmo performed well this time." Master Zhong raised his hand, and the butler brought two brocade boxes, which contained two necklaces, one with diamonds and the other with sapphires.
The housekeeper placed the sapphire in front of Ye Jinmo and the diamond in front of Meng Shanshan.
"I bought this at an auction a while ago. My two granddaughters are so outstanding that they won first and second place in the summer camp. Grandpa wants to reward you."
Ye Jinmo didn't know much about these jewels, but after being in the Zhong family for such a long time, she knew a little about gemstones.
The value of sapphire cannot be compared with that of diamond.
"Thank you, Grandpa." She accepted it with a faint smile.
Meng Shanshan also thanked him with a smile.
As the dishes came up one by one, the table became much quieter.
Not talking while eating or sleeping is the rule of the Zhong family.
Meng Shanshan's eyes turned, she picked up some food for Ye Jinmo with chopsticks, and said in a coquettish voice: "Sister, can you please stop pursuing Zhou Yue?"
This sentence made everyone look towards her.
Mr. Zhong asked, “What happened?”
Meng Shanshan looked calm and composed: "Uncle, it's nothing. When we were reporting yesterday, Zhou Yue took my sister's speech. Fortunately, my sister was smart and memorized it all."
She paused and smiled, "She is a friend I made at the summer camp. After I found out about this, I scolded her severely and asked her to apologize to her sister. By the way, did Zhou Yue apologize to you today?"
Ye Jinmo paused and nodded slightly.
"Then forgive her. She was just possessed by a ghost for a while. I heard that my sister insisted on taking her to court. Isn't this making a big fuss?"
With just a few words, Meng Shanshan successfully directed the criticism at her.
If she doesn't agree, she'd be petty.
The whole family's eyes were focused on Ye Jinmo, but she didn't say anything.
Meng Shanshan looked a little embarrassed. She turned around and held Zhong's mother's hand. "Aunt, can you help me persuade my sister? Zhou Yue really knows she was wrong and she didn't hurt my sister. She is still the first. School is about to start. If we really go to court because of this little thing, won't others laugh at our Zhong family?"
After a pause, she continued, "And this incident will not only cause Zhou Yue to be isolated by her classmates, but will also give her sister a bad reputation."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Jinmo suddenly smiled, turned to look at her, her eyes cold.
"You mean, since she didn't cause any harm to me, she can't be blamed for this?"
Meng Shanshan looked aggrieved: "I am doing this for my sister's good."
Zhong Beichi, who was sitting opposite, frowned. He had been traveling abroad for a while and heard about the summer camp when he came back.
He thought thoughtfully: "What if Jinmo didn't memorize the script?"
Meng Shanshan concealed her emotions and glanced at Master Zhong quietly: "If I hadn't memorized it, I would have asked the director for mercy. Now everyone is happy. I just think that if our Zhong family is so petty and it gets out..."
"Boom!"
Mr. Zhong dropped his cane heavily on the ground, his expression serious: "How can you quarrel like this over such a small matter? Since the child has admitted his fault, let's just let it go."
Father Zhong and Zhong Shaoqing looked at each other and felt heavy in their hearts.
Zhong Shaoqing, in particular, felt extremely distressed when he saw his sister lowering her eyes.
This matter is definitely not that simple.
