Too Late to Regret, She’s Now With the Big Boss - Chapter 67
“Do you have no conscience at all? Your father has enraged me to the point my heart and liver ache, and now you’re forcing me to provoke Third Master Lu?”
Madam Ye’s fury shot straight to the crown of her head, her face contorted to the extreme as she shouted her accusations.
“Mom, it’s not that we want to force you, but Ye Qianqian simply won’t answer our calls or reply to our WeChat messages,” Elder Brother Ye said helplessly.
“Mom, I’ve called her countless times, but she never picks up. You’re her birth mother who carried her for ten months, she’s bound to answer you.”
“Mom, everyone in Rongcheng knows the Third Madam Lu is our Ye family’s second daughter. If we can’t invite Third Master Lu to the Ye Corporation’s anniversary celebration, everyone will laugh their heads off! Last time, offending Third Master Lu at the homecoming banquet cost our corporation dearly. Only if Third Master Lu attends the anniversary can the Ye Corporation stabilize.”
“Mom, do you really want our Ye Corporation to go bankrupt?” The three Ye brothers took turns persuading her.
How could Madam Ye not understand Third Master Lu’s influence on the Ye Corporation? But they had thoroughly offended Ye Qianqian!
If she had known earlier that Ye Qingyan was the bastard child her husband had with Xie Yun, how could she have ever neglected her own daughter?
It was all because that bitch Xie Yun knew how to sweet-talk and deceive her, and the little bitch she gave birth to was even worse, blinding her completely.
Now, looking at her sons eagerly hoping she would go to her death, Madam Ye could no longer control herself and let out a shrill scream.
“For so many years, you never allowed Qianqian to attend the Ye Corporation’s anniversary celebrations. Now that you see she’s climbed up to Third Master Lu, you want to suck up to her. Do you think things in this world are that easy? You all know to call when Third Master Lu and Qianqian are apart, yet you force me to go provoke the Living King of Hell at this time. Are you hoping I die sooner? Do you want your father to marry Xie Yun? Hahahahaha! Too bad she’s crippled now… do you want to call a cripple ‘Mom’?”
“Ruixuan, what madness is your mother spouting now? Who told you I’m going to marry Xie Yun? This is getting more and more outrageous!”
Ye Zhiqiang had just entered when he heard his wife’s hysterical laughter, his sons gathered around her with ingratiating expressions. Frowning darkly, he scolded them irritably.
“I’m outrageous? Ye Zhiqiang, you teamed up with that bitch to throw our own daughter into the countryside and raised her bastard with you… is that not outrageous? And I, fool that I was, trusted you both, treating her like a pearl and my own daughter like dirt. If you had raised that little bastard as Qianqian’s twin sister by my side back then, I wouldn’t hate you this much! Ye Zhiqiang, has your conscience been eaten by dogs?” Madam Ye screamed, her heart tearing apart.
They had once been recognized as the model couple in their circle, yet her husband had secretly fathered a bastard with another woman. Even more hateful was that the bitch had given her the daughter to raise. The thought of it drove her mad with rage.
Seeing his wife’s hysterical state and thinking of the precarious situation of the Ye Corporation, Ye Zhiqiang lowered his stance to coax her. “My dear, I truly didn’t know that bitch Xie Yun had switched our daughters.”
“Whether you knew or not doesn’t matter anymore. Figure out how to stabilize the Ye Corporation yourselves! I bore children for the Ye family, devoted myself heart and soul to managing the household, and socialized with all the ladies to develop the corporation. What did I get in the end? My own sons forcing me to die! My own daughter disowning me!”
Madam Ye scolded viciously, absolutely refusing to fall for the tricks of that father-son pair. Did they think they could make Third Master Lu hold a grudge against her? Not a chance!
“Don’t be angry, Wife. It was all my fault before. From now on, I’ll treat you well. If you don’t want to call and anger Third Master Lu, then rest early.”
“Dad… Ye Qianqian isn’t answering any of our calls. Why don’t you let Mom try?” Ye Ruixuan asked gloomily, watching his mother’s retreating figure.
“Can’t you see your mother isn’t willing? Besides, this isn’t the right time. I’ll go to the Lu family tomorrow myself to find… Qianqian.”
Father Ye spoke weakly, pressing his temples wearily. They had been throbbing all day.
Ten years ago, the Ye family wasn’t even ranked in Rongcheng, merely a mid-to-lower-tier enterprise. It was only due to the Lu Corporation’s sudden promotion that the Ye family managed to squeeze into the top ten.
When he was first promoted, he thought Assistant Bai had taken a liking to his daughter Yanyan, given how outstanding she was in every way.
It wasn’t until the two daughters’ eighteenth birthday celebration that he realized it was Third Master Lu’s intention.
Third Master Lu had explicitly asked for more gifts to be given to Ye Qianqian, but Xie Yun insisted that Third Master Lu was just creating a smokescreen to protect Yanyan’s reputation.
A ringing phone interrupted Father Ye’s thoughts. “Hello, this is Ye Zhiqiang. Who is this?”
“Brother Qiang, when are you coming to the hospital? My foot hurts so much~~ Waaah…” Xie Yun’s tearful voice came from the other end of the line.
She never dreamed that the man who had once been crazy about her, now holding some other woman in his arms, would block her number when she needed him the most, refusing to even take her call…
The thought of Ye Zhiqiang being affectionate with his wife while she suffered in the hospital drove Xie Yun mad with jealousy.
“You’re in pain? What good does calling me do? I’m not a doctor! Which foot hurts? Call a doctor and have them chop it off then it won’t hurt anymore.”
“Waaah, Brother Qiang~~ How could you become so cruel? Before, even if I just scraped my hand a little, you’d fret over me for ages!”
“You said it yourself that was before. Have you not looked in the mirror these past few days? Take a good look at what you’ve become!”
“Brother Qiang~~ How could you treat me like this? Waaah, I don’t want to live anymore~~”
“If you don’t want to live, then go die! You’re already useless. Living is just a waste of resources.” Father Ye cursed angrily.
“Ye Zhiqiang! You’re something else, kicking the ladder away after crossing the bridge?” Xie Yun cried out, her voice tearing with anguish.
“Kicking the ladder away? Do you even understand the idiom? I just made a mistake that all men make. I don’t owe you anything!”
“You owe me plenty! I was an innocent college student, and I followed you for over twenty years without any status…”
Ye interrupted Xie Yun furiously, “Don’t make it sound so noble. You wanted my money, and I was infatuated with your body. All these years you’ve been with me, you gained both fame and fortune. What more could you possibly want? Xie Yun, do you really think I didn’t know about your affairs with younger men all these years? It’s precisely because you had no status that I turned a blind eye.”
“All men are scum, every one of you heartless creatures…” Xie Yun, enraged by Zhiqiang’s cruel words, lashed out indiscriminately.
After Ye Zhiqiang blocked her, it wasn’t as if she hadn’t tried reaching out to others. But the men who once groveled at her feet were now terrified of her getting too close.
Seeing the other party hang up, Xie Yun returned the phone to the caregiver and took out her own phone, but she didn’t know who to call.
Her biological daughter, Ye Qingyan, had also blocked her!
After searching for a long time, Xie Yun saw a contact labeled “Bastard.” She hesitated for a moment but still dialed the number.
