Uncle Li had been in shock over the fact that his uncle was committing suicide. After hearing what Shen Ye said, it took him a while to come back to his senses. He quickly said, "Young Madam, please think of a way to save my uncle."
He and his uncle depended on each other for survival. When he was young, his grandparents and parents died one after another, and it was his uncle who raised him. Later, he married and had children, and started his own family. He focused a lot on his small family, and while he still cared about his uncle, it wasn't as much as before.
So when his uncle wanted to adopt a granddaughter later, he did not object. He thought it would be nice to have a child to accompany his uncle.
Now he really regretted not taking good care of his uncle and niece. If he had even taken the time to look after his niece, maybe his niece wouldn't have become such an ungrateful person, and his uncle wouldn't have suffered so much.
Chen Ye: "Let's go see Grandpa Li now, lest he lose his mind and have trouble eating and sleeping."
Uncle Li nodded immediately.
"Oh, I know where your niece is," Chen Ye said. "I'll ask my uncle to send someone to bring your niece over. Your uncle will definitely be upset when he sees her, so you'll be responsible for comforting him."
Uncle Li had no objection.
Shen Ye whispered a few words to Ye Ze, and Ye Ze quickly asked the bodyguard to find someone.
Afterwards, the group went to see the old tailor.
The old tailor lived in the villa next door. Ever since Grandpa Ye decided to live permanently in Haicheng, Ye Ze had bought several villas nearby to house his servants. The old tailor had originally been living in the imperial capital, but because Ye Ze and Shen Ye were getting married, he was brought to Haicheng and settled next door.
When they entered the villa, they learned that the old tailor was selecting fabric for a dress in his studio.
Shen Ye whispered in Ye Ze’s ear: “I think he wants to finish the dress as soon as possible and leave without any worries.”
This departure certainly does not mean leaving for a long distance, but rather disappearing completely from the world.
Ye Ze frowned slightly and didn't respond.
The old tailor quickly noticed the arrival of Ye Ze and Shen Ye and asked in surprise, "Master, Madam, why are you here?"
Hearing the words 'young madam', Shen Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, then thought, forget it, this old man was also trying to express his respect for him, so he didn't care.
"Let's talk about what you didn't want to disclose just now." Shen Ye got straight to the point.
The old tailor's face changed.
Uncle Li was already mumbling, "I've already told the young master and the others about Li Ning."
The old tailor was stunned: "You..."
"The young master and the others are also concerned about you." Uncle Li said, "And you also know the ability of the young lady. She has long seen your experience from your face and knows that you haven't let it go yet."
The old tailor thought of Shen Ye’s ability, stammered, and didn’t know how to refute.
Shen Ye stared at him: "It's more than just not letting go. I see you're almost on a hunger strike. It's obvious that you're committing slow suicide."
"I...I don't want to commit suicide..."
Shen Ye: “Do you think I can’t see it?”
The old tailor lowered his head and stopped talking.
"I didn't want to get involved in your business, but then I thought about it. If something goes wrong after you finish making the dress for us, it would be too unlucky." Shen Ye directly provoked him, "Do you want my wedding with my uncle to be unlucky?"
The old tailor's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly raised his head: "No, no, no... I didn't mean that..."
Shen Ye: “So you listen to me and get out of the shadows quickly.”
The old tailor didn't want to mention this matter at first, as he would be sad when it was mentioned. Now, after hearing Shen Ye say this, he couldn't help but hesitate.
He knew his own situation. He was heartbroken by his granddaughter and felt that life was meaningless. In addition, Uncle Li's family was doing well, so he had no regrets. Therefore, he felt that life was boring.
If Shen Ye and Ye Ze hadn't come looking for him, he would have most likely just gone.
"Master and Madam, I'm sorry, I won't let your wedding become unlucky." The old tailor admitted his mistake immediately.
He felt that Shen Ye was right. He had personally sewed formal dresses for Ye Ze and Shen Ye. If something happened to him soon, it would be too unlucky.
Chen Ye hummed, feeling quite satisfied with his attitude: "The person who tied the bell must untie it. I have called your granddaughter here. If you have any unhappiness in your heart, feel free to go to her and make it clear."
The old tailor was surprised: "You...you called Li Ning over?"
"Yes, she is the culprit." Shen Ye shrugged, "You don't have to feel sorry for her. Morally speaking, she is an ungrateful person. Legally speaking, she has committed a crime by stealing your safe and does not deserve sympathy."
The old tailor hesitated and said, "But...but she has a heart disease."
A big reason why he didn't hold Li Ning accountable was that he was afraid of irritating Li Ning and causing her to have a heart attack.
Chen Ye: "What are you afraid of? I just need to put a talisman on her to make sure she stays calm."
The old tailor felt relieved.
Chen Ye sneered, turned his head and leaned close to Ye Ze's ear, humming, "That woman must have used heart disease as an excuse to threaten Grandpa Li before. Grandpa Li is too kind and always lets her succeed. I won't go along with her. Let's see what she's up to later."
Hearing Shen Ye say this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across the old tailor's face.
Whenever he tried to teach Li Ning a lesson, she would pretend to have a heartache. He could tell she was just pretending, but he felt sorry for her, having been abandoned at such a young age and suffering from a heart disease, so he couldn't bear to scold her. As a result, Li Ning became increasingly disobedient, eventually even stealing his safe...
Ultimately, there is something wrong with his educational methods.
Shen Ye glanced at the old tailor, slapped a talisman paper on the old tailor, and said, "I'd better prepare it for you first, so that you won't faint from the shock later."
The old tailor: "..."
Not long after, Li Ning was arrested.
She was originally in the imperial capital, but she was short of money these days. When she heard that the old tailor was in Haicheng, she took a plane to follow him.
As for why she had no money...of course it was because all her money was swindled away by her biological parents, including the money and antique gold bars she had stolen from the old tailor's safe not long ago.
The bodyguard threw Li Ning to the ground. Li Ning screamed in pain, and then she saw the old tailor.
She was originally very scared, thinking she was being robbed. But when she saw the old tailor, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and immediately sobbed, "Grandpa, it was you who wanted to see me... I was so scared, I thought I was a robber..."
The old tailor looked at her without saying a word.
Li Ning certainly knew that her previous actions had hurt the old tailor's heart. She was not a fool and knew that if she wanted to regain the old tailor's trust, she had to put on a good show.
"Grandpa, I was wrong... I shouldn't have stolen your things... But all this was ordered by my parents..." Li Ning crawled to the old tailor's feet on his knees, and grabbed the tailor's trouser legs with his fingers. "When they first recognized me, they knew you were rich and wanted to make money from me. Unfortunately, I was too greedy for my parents' love at the time, so they tricked me back to your side. Later, they asked me for money again and again, and took away all the money I had. I wanted to come back to ask you for help, but they tied me up and wouldn't let me leave..."
The old tailor still said nothing, just looked at her calmly.
Li Ning cursed him inwardly, calling him an old fool, and continued crying. "Later, I told them I'd come back to ask for the money, and they let me go. But they recorded the conversation and said they'd expose it if I dared to run away... I had no choice but to obey their orders. They also ordered me to steal your safe... Believe me, I know I was wrong, but I was forced..."
She sobbed and cried, sounding pitiful and sincere. If she were an ordinary person, she would definitely have been convinced by her crying.
But Shen Ye is not an ordinary person. He sneered out loud: "You are really good at making up stories."
Li Ning frowned and looked towards Chen Ye. When she saw clearly that it was Chen Ye and Ye Ze, her eyes widened.
She only saw the old tailor and didn't even notice that Ye Ze and Shen Ye were right next to him...
Ye Ze was the head of the Ye family. She had grown up with the old tailor, who was incredibly loyal to the family, which had caused her to be a little afraid of him. And Shen Ye was also quite capable, even able to read faces... So, hadn't Shen Ye seen all of her fake crying just now?
Her expression changed suddenly.
Shen Ye glared at her: "You guessed right, I know you are acting, everything you said is fake."
Li Ning: “…”
"You left Grandpa Li simply because you thought he was old and a big trouble, and you didn't want to take care of him in his old age. In your opinion, although Grandpa Li is rich and can hire a caregiver when he gets sick in the future, as his granddaughter, you will definitely have to do some things yourself, such as going to the hospital and paying medical bills. You don't want to take care of Grandpa Li at all, and when your parents happened to come to the door, you took the opportunity to run away." Chen Ye glanced at Li Ning coldly, not hiding the disgust in his eyes. "You are worse than an animal. Grandpa Li raised you, treated your illness, and helped you find a suitable heart. I don't know how much money, effort and energy he spent. It would be fine if you just walked away, but you actually lied to him!"
After saying this, the old tailor was already staggering.
He knew that Li Ning had been lying to him just to get money from him, but he didn't want to believe it and didn't dare to think about it too much.
Now that Chen Ye had pointed it out, the old tailor felt a wave of sadness in his heart, and his head was dizzy and heavy. He couldn't explain how he felt.
Uncle Li hurried forward to support him: "Uncle, are you okay?"
The old tailor shook his head and could not utter a word.
Instead, Shen Ye comforted Uncle Li: "Your uncle is fine, I used the Qingxinjingqi Talisman, even if he is excited, he will not faint."
Uncle Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Chen Ye was not easy to fool, Li Ning cursed Chen Ye in his heart, while thinking quickly about the solution in his mind.
She thought the old tailor was the best breakthrough point, after all, the old tailor loved her the most.
So she kowtowed to the old tailor with tears in her eyes: "Grandpa, I know I was wrong. Can you forgive me this time? I will definitely be filial to you. When you are old, I will take care of your excrement and urine..."
Shen Ye interrupted her: "Why rely on you, the Ye family has plenty of servants to take care of him."
Li Ning: “…”
She was filled with resentment, but she couldn't afford to offend Chen Ye, so she could only grit her teeth secretly.
Chen Ye sneered: "You came back to steal the safe because your family instigated and instructed you to do so, but more importantly, it was because you were willing to deceive Grandpa Li."
Li Ning knew that she had no way to defend herself and could only cry to cover up her embarrassment after being exposed.
"All that money of yours was cheated away by your family. Don't you hate them?" Shen Ye stared at her and asked.
Li Ning lowered her head and pretended to wipe her tears with her fingers, refusing to answer the question.
"I know you don't hate me." Chen Ye's lips curled up with a sarcastic smile, "Grandpa Li treated you so well, but you ran away because you were worried about your retirement. Your family cheated you out of your money and ordered you around, but you were willing to do it. In short, you are a slut!"
Li Ning sobbed but didn't say a word. She knew that no matter what she said, people would be disgusted.
Chen Ye's eyes were cold. "The grace of raising you is greater than the grace of giving birth to you. Your biological parents were poor, and seeing that you had a heart disease, they abandoned you in the heavy snow. If it weren't for Grandpa Li, you would have died twenty years ago! Grandpa Li raised you and let you enjoy wealth and glory, but you repay kindness with hatred! Are you still human? No, you are not human, you are more disgusting than an animal!"
Li Ning was scolded so badly that he hated Chen Ye so much that he wanted to slap him in the face.
But she knew that she could do nothing. The most important thing now was to continue to win over the old tailor. The old tailor was kind-hearted and the only person who could be moved.
"Grandpa, I will definitely change... I know you treat me the best, otherwise I wouldn't have come back to you... I really know I was wrong..." Li Ning knelt in front of the old tailor and kowtowed. "Can you please forgive me just once? I swear to be filial to you in the future."
The old tailor looked down at her, his face filled with sadness.
This child has been spoiled by him...
Shen Ye looked at the old tailor's expression and knew that he was soft-hearted. He narrowed his eyes and said to Ye Ze, "Call the police. She and her biological parents and other family members are suspected of gang theft. No one can escape."
Ye Ze nodded and immediately asked someone to make arrangements.
When Li Ning heard that Shen Ye was going to call the police, she immediately became anxious and screamed, “No, you can’t call the police!”
If she calls the police, all her family members will be arrested and her whole family will be finished.
She quickly turned to the old tailor and cried and begged, "Grandpa, I don't want to go to jail. Please tell the young master and the young mistress not to call the police..."
Having said this, she suddenly covered her chest and fell backwards.
The old tailor's face changed, and he shouted with some pity: "Xiao Ning, do you have a heartache?"
Seeing that the old tailor still cared about him, Li Ning knew there was hope. Just as he was about to cry and shout to gain the old tailor's sympathy, he heard Shen Ye sneer: "She lied to you."
