Under Zhou Qi's persistent questioning, the woman panicked and didn't know what to say, only able to point at Ye Zhonghong: "It was her, she made me say that!"
Ye Jingchi looked at Ye Zhonghong with a gloomy expression.
Ye Zhonghong was completely dumbfounded. When did she let this woman talk nonsense? She didn't even know the woman.
"What are you saying? I don't even know you!"
"Give me two yuan and tell me to come and tell everyone that Li Ying is unfaithful and promiscuous!"
Ye Zhonghong became even more agitated and angrily jumped up to hit the woman.
Zhou Qi stood in front of the woman, glaring angrily: "Miss Ye, I've tolerated you for too long! I didn't want to bother with you before because of Commander Ye, but now you've gone too far! It's outrageous!" Zhou Qi grabbed Ye Zhonghong and said to Commander Ye, "She's harassing Miss Ying here. I'm taking her to the police station!"
Hearing that she was to be sent to the police station, Ye Zhonghong became even more anxious, but she couldn't reveal her sister-in-law's involvement.
It was agreed that coming to cause trouble for Li Ying was my own idea, but my sister-in-law had suggested a method. If my third brother finds out that this matter is related to my sister-in-law, he will probably dislike her even more in the future.
"Third Brother, I've come to beg you and Li Ying with all my heart. I'm sincere!"
"Sincerity? You knelt at my front door just to stir up public opinion and put me in the spotlight. That's your sincerity!" Li Ying bluntly stated.
Ye Zhonghong was speechless. She thought that doing this would only embarrass Li Ying and make her persuade her third brother to go back. She didn't expect it to be so serious. But now that things had come to this, she couldn't care less about that.
"If you hadn't taken my third brother, why would I have done this? You knew Grandma wanted to see my third brother, yet you wouldn't let him go back to see her. Is this how you act as someone's granddaughter-in-law?"
Ye Jingchi's cold gaze swept over, startling Ye Zhonghong into shrinking back.
"Zhou Qi, go get some paper and pen!"
Zhou Qi nodded and ran to get paper and a pen.
Ye Jingchi took the paper and pen and said coldly, "It seems I've been too lenient with the Ye family! That's why I've allowed you to harass Li Ying here time and time again! From today onwards, I sever all ties with the Ye family! I will never have anything to do with them again!"
What?
Ye Zhonghong's eyes immediately turned red: "Third Brother, you're actually going to sever ties with the Ye family for this woman?"
“I told Grandma before that if the Ye family behaves honestly and peacefully, I can take care of your future life. But you have broken this rule time and time again. So let’s sever ties! I will publish it in the newspaper tomorrow!” Ye Jingchi threw the handwritten letter of severance to Ye Zhonghong.
Ye Zhonghong hurriedly took it, and wanted to say something.
Zhou Qi had already taken out his broom and swept Ye Zhonghong out the door.
The crowd of onlookers dispersed, and Li Ying turned to look at Ye Jingchi, whose expression was serious. He didn't seem to be joking.
"Ye Jingchi, you need to know the consequences of doing this!"
It could ruin your future.
"Don't worry, I will go to Commander Yan and explain everything."
The Ye family.
Upon seeing the letter severing ties with her family, Grandma Ye couldn't catch her breath and fainted again.
Tang Qiao stood up and slapped Ye Zhonghong across the face: "Tell me, who told you to bother Li Ying?"
Ye Zhonghong covered her face, looking very aggrieved: "Mom, that Li Ying is about to steal Third Brother away. Look, Grandma has fallen ill, and Third Brother doesn't even come back to see her. He's been bewitched by that Li Ying for a long time."
Tang Qiao trembled all over, pointing at Ye Zhonghong: "How could I have given birth to such an idiot like you?"
The Ye family dared not mention any of the hardships and suffering Ye Jingchi had endured in the past three years. Only in these three years had Ye Jingchi become more obedient, but unexpectedly, Ye Zhonghong still managed to ruin everything.
Ye Jingchi will never protect the Ye family again.
Chunxue, who had just returned from the hospital, clutched the hem of her clothes tightly after hearing Tang Qiao's story.
It seems we can't let things continue like this!
Chunxue turned and left, went into an alley, put a note in a hole in the wall, and then quickly left.
Siheyuan (courtyard house).
After Li Ying finished her afternoon nap, she came out of the house and saw Ye Jingchi smoking again.
"Ye Jingchi, why are you smoking again?"
Ye Jingchi hurriedly threw away the cigarette and stomped it out.
"boring."
"Did they go to see Commander Yan?"
"Um."
"How so?"
Ye Jingchi was silent for a moment: "Do as I please. I'll do whatever I want."
Li Ying remembered that Commander Yan had said Ye Jingchi had gotten lost when he was a child, and asked, "You got lost when you were a child, is that true?"
Ye Jingchi nodded slightly: "Yes, I got lost when I was a child, but it wasn't me who got lost, it was Tang Qiao's son, Ye Jingchi."
Li Ying sensed there was a story behind it and opened the door: "Let's go inside and talk."
Don't blame her for her gossipy nature; after all, Commander Yan asked her to verify the truth, so understanding Ye Jingchi better is the most important thing.
Seeing how much she enjoyed listening to stories, Ye Jingchi smiled and followed Li Ying into the house, where he sat down.
Li Ying poured a glass of water and pushed it towards Ye Jingchi: "Take your time."
Ye Jingchi held the cup: "I actually lived in the Jing family when I was a child."
Li Ying nodded slightly; the story was indeed complicated.
"Later, I don't remember how old I was, maybe three or five, Tang Qiao's son went missing. We searched for a long time and finally found him at the pond, but he was no longer there. The Ye family valued their descendants very much. Seeing that Grandma Ye wanted Tang Qiao to take the child back to Tongcheng, she had no choice but to take me from the Jing family and change my name to Ye Jingchi."
Li Ying looked at Ye Jingchi quietly.
"So your original surname was Jing?"
Ye Jingchi shook his head: "I am an orphan. I was adopted by the Jing family. Later, I became Ye Jingchi and entered the Ye family. Later, Grandma Ye found out about this, but in order to protect the reputation of the Ye family, she acquiesced."
Li Ying roughly understood: "So if this gets out, it will be a heavy blow to the Ye family."
"The Ye family values its descendants, but the eldest brother sacrificed his life, and the second brother made a mistake. You could say that I am now the pillar of the Ye family."
Li Ying nodded slightly: "So you're considering whether or not to really sever ties with the Ye family?"
Ye Jingchi smiled coldly: "You're wrong! I'm thinking about how to make the Ye family pay the price!"
Don't assume that Ye Jingchi had a good childhood in the Ye family. At first, he did, but ever since they found out he wasn't a child of the Ye family, they haven't cared about him as much. As a result, when Ye Wenchi led Ye Jingchi to do bad things, like stealing chickens and dogs, the Ye family turned a blind eye.
When the eldest brother of the Ye family sacrificed himself, it was actually him who was supposed to die, but his brother took everything for him.
In other words, the Ye family had long intended to use him as a pawn and abandon him, hoping he would die on the battlefield. This would not only give the Ye family a good reputation but also allow them to quietly cover up this scandal.
However, the fact that the eldest brother died disrupted their plans.
"If the Ye family were even slightly smart, they would be clinging to your coattails right now, instead of provoking you!"
