Liu Guiying never expected Cheng Jianshe to slap her. She instantly became furious and grabbed Cheng Jianshe's hair, then proceeded to beat him severely.
Hitting her in front of so many people?
Doesn't she have any pride?
Cheng Jianshe and Liu Guiying fought for quite a while before the women's director persuaded them to stop.
"We've come today to discuss Ye Fanxing's matter."
Huo Dongfang coldly stared at Cheng Jianshe and Liu Guiying, whose faces were bruised and battered.
"This is the list and various guarantees we provided when we entrusted Ye Fanxing to your Cheng family four years ago."
Ye Fanxing was still a minor when Ye Heping got into trouble.
Cheng Jianshe and Ye Heping are comrades-in-arms, and Cheng Jianshe took the initiative to adopt Ye Fanxing.
However, Huo Dongfang and others believed that Ye Fanxing would be an adult in four years, so adoption was not appropriate. They then came up with the idea of foster care.
Therefore, in order to prevent Cheng Jianshe from seizing Ye Fanxing's property, Ye Heping's entire estate was listed in a specific inventory.
"Ye Fanxing is eighteen years old and an adult. She has the right to take back everything that belongs to her."
Cheng Jianshe felt guilty because of Cheng Jian's actions.
Over the years, Cheng Jianshe has benefited greatly from having Ye Fanxing fostered in the Cheng family.
Now that things have come to this, parting ways amicably is the best outcome.
"Liu Guiying, take these things to Ye Fanxing."
Liu Guiying's heart sank. She had never treated Ye Fanxing as an outsider, and felt that Ye Fanxing's things were her own, using them with a sense of entitlement.
He had even planned that as soon as Ye Fanxing reached the legal marriage age, Cheng Jian would marry her.
If Ye Fanxing dies in two years, won't everything belong to Cheng Jian?
Now that Ye Fanxing suddenly wants these things, where is she supposed to get them?
Liu Guiying showed no remorse whatsoever, "Old Cheng, do you think raising children doesn't cost money? Everything costs money..."
Cheng Jianshe asked in astonishment, "How could they all be gone?"
Liu Guiying was always greedy for money. How could she possibly give back what was in her pocket? So she said, "I have no money, but you can take my life."
Ye Fanxing was so angry at Liu Guiying's shameless words that she laughed.
She turned and went into her small bedroom in the Ye family home, took out a diary, and laid it out in front of Huo Dongfang.
"Uncle, Aunt, these are all the expenses I've incurred since I came to the Cheng family."
Huo Dongfang took the diary, which clearly recorded every expense.
“My father received a monthly pension, as well as food, meat, and cloth coupons. I didn’t have to pay tuition when I was in school, and I didn’t have to pay for medical treatment when I was sick.”
"My clothes and shoes are Cheng Yun's old clothes and shoes."
"I just don't understand why you keep saying I'm a freeloader when you've taken so much money?"
Ye Fanxing pouted, and tears of grievance rolled down her cheeks.
Seeing this, Huo Dongfang reached out and took out a checkered handkerchief, handing it to Ye Fanxing.
Cheng Jianshe understood perfectly well that Ye Fanxing harbored deep resentment towards the Cheng family and only wanted to take this opportunity to leave them.
"Ye Fanxing, I never said such a thing."
Cheng Jianshe did not say that; it was Liu Guiying who said it.
Liu Guiying's private remarks about Ye Fanxing were even more offensive than this.
“Uncle, I was young when you were willing to lend me a helping hand. I am very grateful.”
Although Ye Fanxing's eyes were filled with tears, she still generously and frankly acknowledged the kindness shown to her.
“Cheng Jian framed me and drugged me, completely disregarding my situation after the truth came out. He wanted to force me to die.”
"I don't want to die, I want to live, I want to see the bright future my father fought so hard for and sacrificed his life for!"
"I don't want the pension or the savings. I just beg you to return the house my father left me."
With so many witnesses in front of him, how could Cheng Jianshe possibly embezzle Ye Fanxing's belongings?
If this gets out, he'll be gossiped about and cursed by others.
"Star, don't worry, what's yours is yours, we won't take a single penny more."
Ye Fanxing expressed her gratitude.
"Thank you, Uncle."
Seeing Liu Guiying standing there motionless, Cheng Jianshe urged, "What are you still standing there for? Go and get the key for Xingxing."
Liu Guiying refused to return the house to Ye Fanxing, saying, "I've rented that house out!"
"Rented out? To whom? For how long?" Huo Dongfang questioned aggressively.
Liu Guiying casually replied, "Ten years."
Huo Dongfang placed a document in front of Liu Guiying and Cheng Jianshe, and said in a horrified tone: "That courtyard house is now occupied by your eldest daughter and her third daughter's family."
Cheng Jianshe stared at Liu Guiying in utter astonishment and asked in a deep voice, "Is this true?"
Liu Guiying did not give Cheng Jianshe a direct answer, but looked at Ye Fanxing pitifully and played the emotional card.
"Xingxing, your sister Xiao and sister Yun aren't outsiders, you're not going to charge them rent again, are you?"
Before Ye Fanxing could speak, Huo Dongfang reminded her, "Ye Fanxing's surname is Ye, not Cheng."
The women's director chimed in, "Liu Guiying, Ye Fanxing was fourteen when she came to the Cheng family. You know how your Cheng family has treated Ye Fanxing all these years. Now that things have come to this, you shouldn't bring up the fact that you raised Ye Fanxing for four years."
"If your son Cheng Jian hadn't bullied Ye Fanxing like this, we wouldn't have known that Ye Fanxing was suffering such injustice in the Cheng family. Now that Ye Fanxing wants to reclaim her family property, it's only right and proper."
Liu Guiying was still trying to argue, but Cheng Jianshe stepped forward, grabbed her shoulder, and said with a forced smile, "Huo Dongfang, this happened suddenly, please give us some time to make arrangements."
