"Get back here!" Ye Erquan shouted coldly.
Ms. Wei felt utterly wronged and stared intently at Ye Caiping:
"In short, you're just looking down on us! How many couples have you broken up already? Last time you broke up Jin Hua's, and now you're trying to break up Peng'er and Jin'er's? You were divorced yourself, so you can't stand seeing other couples together?"
Upon hearing this, the entire hall gasped.
Ye Caiping was stunned for a moment, then her heart sank inch by inch. She didn't say anything, turned around and left quickly.
"Mother..." Ye Huan'er hurriedly chased after her.
"Cai Ping..." Old Mrs. Ye wanted to chase after her, but after thinking for a moment, she turned around and rushed in front of Madam Wei. With a slap, she slapped Madam Wei across the face: "How could our family have produced such a despicable and vicious woman like you!"
Ms. Wei was hit so hard that she fell to the ground with a thud.
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a little scared, but...
Before she could explain, Jinhua shouted angrily, "Second Aunt, do you know what you're saying? What do you mean by saying my aunt ruined my marriage! If it weren't for my aunt, I would have already been tricked into becoming a concubine by that scumbag surnamed Zhou."
Mrs. Du was furious: "For your own selfish reasons, you've made black out to be white."
Mrs. Wei shook her head: "No...that's not what I meant...I just..."
"Who do you think you are?" Ye Erquan roared. "Let me make this clear: forget about this marriage! As your father, I will never agree to it! You're a disgrace!"
Ms. Wei could no longer bear the yelling and cursing: "What am I doing this for? It's just for the future of my two children."
After saying that, he rushed out.
Ye Peng stood there dumbfounded, his face filled with shock and embarrassment.
Grandma Ye noticed him, pursed her lips and said, "I know this was your mother's idea. Peng'er, don't be troubled. From now on, you and Jin'er will still be siblings."
Hearing the last two words, Ye Peng was heartbroken, his eyes reddening: "I...I'm going home first."
"Okay, go ahead."
Ye Peng turned around and left in a disheveled state.
Ye Erquan looked miserable, while Yinhua was so embarrassed she wanted to die.
Ye Erquan said guiltily, "Father, Mother, I didn't know she had such thoughts. I'll go back and scold her right away. Don't worry, I don't agree to this marriage either!"
"Then... Yinhua and I will go back first. We'll come back to apologize to our little sister tomorrow."
Even if he was unaware of the situation, they were still his wife and son. If things escalated like this, staying any longer would only create more awkwardness for him and Yinhua.
After saying this, Ye Erquan pulled Yinhua away without waiting for Grandma Ye and the others to speak.
...
In the room—
Ye Caiping sat on the bed in a daze. She wiped her eyes and found that she was actually crying.
She had long considered them as family and had given her heart to each and every one of them.
Ms. Wei's words hurt her.
Ye Huan'er's eyes also welled up with tears of grievance, and she held Ye Caiping's hand tightly: "Mother... don't be sad... when we came back, didn't we agree that if we got along well with these people, we would continue to be family? If we didn't get along well, we would be strangers?"
Ye Caiping nodded: "Mm."
As he spoke, he hugged Ye Huan'er tightly.
From this day forward, Mr. Wei is no longer her relative!
Just then, a knock sounded on the door.
Ye Caiping wiped her eyes, turned around and opened the door.
Old Mrs. Ye and Ye Jin'er were standing outside the door.
Grandma Ye noticed that Ye Caiping's eyes were a little red, and she was slightly taken aback, feeling both guilty and worried: "Caiping..."
Ye Caiping waved her hand and said, "There's no need to say anything. Leave this to Second Brother!"
Grandma Ye sighed softly and nodded.
Ye Caiping looked at Ye Jin'er: "Today is your birthday, so let's put this matter aside for now. But you need to find a time to have a proper talk with Ye Peng."
Ye Jin'er nodded: "I'll see him tomorrow."
Ye Huan'er said, "We have to go with them then, we can't let anything happen to us."
Ye Caiping praised, "Huan'er is so thoughtful."
She had already thought of this. Matters between men and women needed to be discussed with him privately by Jin'er; otherwise, he might think Jin'er wasn't acting on her own.
But Ye Peng had designs on Jin'er, and fearing something might happen, they had to keep an eye on her from a distance.
"Let's go back and eat."
Back in the dining room, Madam Du quickly stepped forward, took Ye Caiping's hand, and said, "Caiping, we are very grateful to you for what happened with Jinhua, we didn't have any such thoughts."
"I understand," Ye Caiping smiled.
Ye Daquan was so angry that he cursed loudly: "I don't know what the second son's family was thinking, to come up with such an idea. It's not like we're so poor that we don't have enough to eat."
Du was also furious, feeling that Wei had ulterior motives.
And they just dragged that Golden Flower thing into it, it's really toxic!
Ye Caiping said calmly, "We believe that Second Brother will handle things well."
Grandma Ye and Grandpa Ye sighed softly.
Although Madam Wei acted foolishly, Ye Peng was her own grandson, and her second son was also caught in the middle, making things difficult for her.
Grandma Ye still hoped to turn things around with Mrs. Wei.
"Xiao Yan, is the food ready?" Ye Caiping asked.
Xiao Yan, who was standing in the corner, came out and said, "It's all ready. I'll have Aunt Yang serve the food right away."
After the food was served, everyone happily toasted.
Although everyone pretended nothing had happened, it felt like there was a thorn in their side.
...
When Ms. Wei returned home, she immediately grabbed Ye Peng and questioned him:
"Didn't you say Jin'er liked you? She hasn't said a single word in your defense."
Ye Peng then snapped out of his daze and said firmly:
"Jin'er and I are truly in love, and I know that Jin'er has me in her heart."
But recalling Ye Jin'er's furrowed brows just now, he felt a little uneasy.
She must be shy, or she doesn't have the courage to admit it.
