Chapter 78 The Madman of the Rich and Powerful Criticizes the Fake Heiress 22
Ye Zhenghong and his wife from the Ye family haven't even escaped their prison sentence yet, and this second case has already started. There have been too many upheavals lately, and the Ye family must have lost a lot of money. Ye Heng is starting to get anxious.
Only when anxious will one lose their composure. "President Shen, the Ye family has sent a lawyer's letter, claiming that they will sue Miss Jixue, demanding that she return everything the Ye family has given her, apologize, return the gifts, and repay the expenses for raising her over the past eighteen years."
The top-notch legal team personally visited the client, who was their biggest client ever. The client booked the entire team outright, charging a much more generous price than others. Not visiting in person would have seemed insincere.
What they discovered next was even more astonishing: this boss lived in Platinum Bay No. 1 in the entire Yunding Manor! It was the best-located and most expensive villa in the entire Yunding Manor. This house had been vacant for so long, and it had finally welcomed its owner. This showed just how extraordinary this family's status was.
"return?
Ji Xue, did you take anything the Ye family gave you with you when you left?
The Ye family actually wants to take back even the things they gave away. We, Jixue, have called them Mom and Dad for so many years. Should we call them back too?
I've never seen such a stingy family.
Ye Jixue thought for a moment, then shook her head in bewilderment, “I was kicked out. I didn’t take anything except the clothes I was wearing, not even my phone, which was at the Ye family’s house.”
Yes, and the shoes I wore that day too. But all of these things were provided by the stylist. I didn't have any other jewelry or a bag that day, so I couldn't take anything with me.
I don't understand what they want me to repay.
Is this what Ye Heng meant by retaliation? But she didn't take anything from the Ye family, so what can she give back? Does she have to return the air she breathed?
The lawyer paused for a moment, looking at the furniture and decorations in the house. Every item was top-notch and expensive. He wondered why the employer's family, who were not short of money, would owe someone something and not return it.
"There's another point: they need Miss Jixue to repay child support. The price they've offered is 180 million over 18 years."
Even the lawyer himself found it hard to believe. Some small companies don't even have that much in total assets. Ye Jia just asked for 100 million, almost 200 million, and that's just for child support for a little girl. Is this little girl a money-devouring beast? How can she spend 200 million in 18 years?
Two hundred million!
Where would I spend so much money? The Ye family gives me a monthly allowance of over 100,000 yuan, and that's not even a continuous amount. They only started giving me allowance when I started high school, and they only gave me it for three years. At most, it was only three or four million yuan!
I never attended the best schools growing up. While my peers went to private or international schools, I went to the school closest to my home, which was public. They said it was healthier for my physical and mental development, but I don't think I'm that healthy now.
Ye Jixue felt cheated whenever she thought about it. She had been someone's daughter for 18 years and hadn't gotten any benefits. The tiles she used were the worst among her peers, and now she was being asked to take them back.
The 100,000 yuan allowance given by the Ye family is equivalent to 800 or 1,000 yuan per month for the average person, leaving them with no money to buy anything more.
"Attorney Wang, can we sue the Ye family for child abuse given their treatment of Ji Xue?"
Attorney Wang thought for a moment and shook his head. "It's not easy to sue them for child abuse. Although they don't provide Miss Jixue with enough material things compared to others in the same circle, they didn't beat the child or deprive her of food and water, so it doesn't meet the standards for abuse."
The Ye family must have had this planned in advance.
Abusing someone is not just about physical or material things, but also about mental well-being. Years of neglect and indifference can easily lead to psychological distortion. Why is Ye Jixue so easily angered? Because during her childhood, only by throwing tantrums and acting out could people notice her emotions and needs.
“Attorney Wang, since they want to sue, then let them sue. But we must make sure we know exactly how much was spent, and we can’t give them a single penny more.”
Shen Ci suddenly laughed, and then quickly arranged for people to discuss this hot news online: How much did the Ye family, a wealthy family in Sihanoukville, spend raising a fake heiress? How much does it normally cost for a wealthy family to raise a child?
Ye Canxing's reputation has recently plummeted. Many people saw her being beaten and scolded by Lin Meijuan that day, and began to question the relationship between the mother and daughter. They even accused Ye Canxing of being overly filial, saying that her own mother is disabled and she still has the mood to play the victim on live broadcast.
"Mom, why do we give money to the Ye family? They treat me badly."
Ye Jixue muttered that the money was just sitting at home and she didn't want to give it to the Ye family; she'd rather donate it.
"Pay back the money they spent raising you, and you'll be even with them from now on. You won't have to feel guilty towards anyone in the Ye family."
They didn't love you wholeheartedly, so you don't need to feel guilty. We have money; we'll give it to them. Even if God wants to settle scores, it won't be on your head.
Pay it all back... and we're even?
Ye Jixue was slightly taken aback. She could repay the Ye family. The Ye family had been cursing her for a while, saying that she owed the Ye family something that she could never repay in her lifetime. They said that if she knew what was good for her, she should obediently listen to the family's arrangements and contribute her last bit of strength to the family.
"Thank you, Mom..." Ye Jixue said softly. After paying off the debt, she no longer needed to feel guilty towards the Ye family in the slightest.
Shen Ci applied for a public hearing for this lawsuit, allowing people throughout Beijing and Hong Kong to witness the proceedings. The trial started quickly, and the Ye family immediately demanded 180 million.
Shen Ci's lawyers demanded that the accounts be settled on the spot and presented a bill that they had already prepared.
“Our client has only received 100,000 yuan in pocket money each month since starting high school, totaling 3.6 million yuan over three years. Combined with the bills provided by the Ye family’s finance department, the total expenditure over eighteen years is 4 million yuan.”
...
"Can 4 million yuan raise a rich heiress?"
"My house is only worth this much. For ordinary people, it's a lot, but for a tycoon like the Ye family, it's just a drop in the ocean."
"The Ye family is really too much of a player. They're asking for 4 million back. Are they going to go bankrupt?"
“My family and the Ye family are neighbors. Ye Jixue has never had any money since she was little, so we don’t like to play with her. Even though her family is rich, she pretends to be poor every day. I didn’t expect that she really didn’t give her any money!”
"Ye Jixue attended a public school when she was young, but suddenly went to an international school for high school. Nobody there liked her, and the things she learned were completely different from what we learned. She couldn't keep up at all."
"My God, what a wealthy family this is!"
Are they poor people in a wealthy family?
The Ye family is so poor.
"The Ye family is so harsh on the stolen child. Why did they steal him in the first place? I heard that his biological mother is a real billionaire. The Ye family has suffered because of him being stolen."
The comments keep saying that the Ye family is stingy, demanding the return of 4 million yuan. It's like a man and woman breaking up and the man demanding the woman return all the money spent during their relationship. In short, they can't afford to play games.
Much of the gossip from the audience reached Ye Heng's ears. His face turned ashen, his hands clenched into fists, and he cursed inwardly.
That damned Ye Jixue family actually chose to make this case public! Isn't this just making a fool of themselves in front of everyone? These people really don't know the value of money when they're not in charge of the household. It's easy for them to talk the talk, and they're talking about a mere 4 million. If they're so capable, let them produce 4 million and see!
The voices of the masses reached Ye Heng's ears for the first time.
"Mom, do we really have to give it to her?"
Ye Jixue tugged at Chen Ci's sleeve with a slight pang of regret. That was four million! That was all she had ever spent in her life. The car her mother gave her as a gift that day cost more than she had spent in eighteen years. She saw clearly who punched her and who gave her a steamed bun.
"Don't worry, it will be paid back sooner or later."
Shen Ci patted the back of her hand to comfort her. Ye Jixue's life was arranged too deliberately. She grew up in an ordinary public school and was doing well, but in high school she was suddenly dragged to a place full of rich second-generation kids.
How is Ye Jixue supposed to adapt to this?
In the end, Shen Ci didn't pay a single penny in compensation for this case. Although the Ye family spent money raising the child, this child was stolen in the first place!
How can a human trafficker steal someone else's child, raise them, and then demand compensation from the victim's family for child support? Where does this idea come from?
This is an absurdity unlike anything seen in history!
The Ye family was severely criticized. Ye Heng's impulsive actions were trending on social media, and the entire internet was condemning him for being hypocritical, even those in jail were not spared.
Ye Heng belatedly realized what he had done. He had two intentions in doing this: first, to test Shen Ci's strength, and second, to annoy them and make Ye Jixue pay money. He knew very well how much Ye Jixue longed for the love of her family.
Perhaps if we do this, Ye Jixue will obediently beg for mercy, and then he will give in and everything will be fine?
He never expected the case to become public! It ruined all his plans!
"Ding-dong!"
Spend five million within ten minutes, with no restrictions on who can spend it, and you'll receive a reward: 50% equity in Yinggang Entertainment.
Yinggang Entertainment, the largest entertainment company in Beijing and Hong Kong, is a star-making dream factory and a place where money flows in like water. Who would complain about having too much money? Moreover, this task does not restrict spending to children.
Shen Ci faced the camera with a victorious smile, and brought Ye Jixue in front of the camera as well.
"Thank you all for speaking up for justice. Justice will never wrong good people, nor will it let bad people go unpunished."
I have decided to establish a charitable foundation in my daughter's name to support high-achieving girls from impoverished families. Note that it's for girls.
It's not that I'm prejudiced, but I hope that more girls like my daughter can overcome their difficulties and not be trapped by temporary setbacks.
After saying that, Shen Ci immediately had her lawyer draft the relevant documents and quickly wrote a check for five million. She has now developed the good habit of carrying checks with her at all times.
Why not donate money to boys? 99% of families will grit their teeth and send their sons to school, hoping they can make something of themselves.
But if it's a girl, that's not necessarily the case. Even if she has excellent grades, she's more likely to be the one who gets abandoned. Boys have an inherent advantage, so she should help the girls even more.
God, may all the merit of these deeds be attributed to my daughter, and may she live a peaceful and prosperous life in this world.
Shen Ci blinked and made a wish in her heart: if every world has its own Heavenly Dao, then the good deeds she does in this world will surely be rewarded in this world as well.
"Ding-dong!"
Time-limited task completed!
The equity has been received!
The largest entertainment company in Beijing and Hong Kong changed hands overnight. All the senior executives received this last-minute notice, but no one saw the new owner or knew who the new owner was, causing quite a bit of panic. The owner still hasn't shown up.
Here, Shen Ci knew that her business had grown again. She could leave it there and let it make her a fortune every day, but she had more important things to do.
"Jixue, would you be willing to change your name and take my surname?"
We are mother and daughter, and there is no place for you in the Ye family, but your mother will always wait for you. Having the surname Ye is nothing to be proud of.
The suggestion to change the name was made in front of Ye Heng, and Ye Heng's face darkened.
“Jixue has been called by this name for eighteen years, and suddenly changing it... My parents don’t know yet, at least they should have given their consent.”
He was still trying to hold on to something, but he didn't even know it himself. They were the ones who kicked the people out, yet now he was acting like he couldn't bear to part with them.
Why should we need their permission?
You family of child traffickers have the right to tell me whether or not my daughter's name should be changed?
This is my child, not yours. I haven't even scolded you for naming my daughter this, but what is this "Jixue"? Do you want her to be lonely for the rest of her life?
Human traffickers, you are utterly despicable!
Shen Ci felt annoyed just looking at him. Weren't they the ones who were so ruthless to Ye Jixue? Now, the expression on Ye Heng's face was just too complex and intricate, a mixture of heartache, reluctance, and panic.
They're making a scene of regret right here!
"Mom, I do!"
I'd like to take my mother's surname!
Ye Jixue wholeheartedly agreed. She had already repaid everything she owed the Ye family. No, strictly speaking, she didn't owe the Ye family anything. It was the Ye family who acted as human traffickers, stealing her away. The victim didn't need to feel guilty.
The law and society both agree that she no longer needs to have any strange feelings for the Ye family, whether emotionally or morally.
"Then take my surname, Chen. The name Jixue is too cold. Mom is different; you're lonely."
How about changing it to Jixue?
The first snow has stopped, the sky is clear, and from now on, your life will never experience heavy snow again; it will only be sunny days, and you will never be lonely again.
Some say they hope that Shen Jixue's life will never see heavy snow again.
The name Ye Jixue is like a curse, causing her to never have a close friend. The Ye family hopes she is abandoned, lonely, and a name filled with malice.
But when Mom came, she changed just one word, and it gave it a completely different meaning.
The snow should stop.
"Mom, I want to be called Shen Jixue."
This little girl, who was shy about showing her vulnerability in front of others, shed tears openly and without hesitation. This time, she was not afraid; instead, she felt happy. Her name carried her mother's beautiful blessings, which made her feel very happy.
Ye Jixue, you will no longer be lonely, because the snow has stopped.
