Chapter 58 Are You Taking Me for a Fool?
The former self of Ye Chen,
after drinking the wine, would have beaten Liu Xueqin up at this time,
despite the fact that she was his mother-in-law.
Because he knew clearly that Liu Xueqin despised him and never regarded him as a son-in-law.
If he got seriously invoked, he could actually beat her.
But there was no "if".
Two lives as a human being and now being reborn back to sixty years ago,
Ye Chen was not what he had been.
Unless he had to, he would avoid turning things into something really ugly.
After all, however this couple-Liu Xueqin and Chen Jianguo annoyed him,
they were still Chen Yinuo's parents.
"Too far? That's not too far. Instead, it's blindness! I should've never agreed the marriage of you two. My daughter was tricked by you, such a poor and miserable gambler and a drunkard into the hellish hole! Look around and you'll understand. All her friends ended up into families so much better than her."
"They not only have houses and cars, but they also don't have to do anything or worry about their future. Just like princesses. To top all that off, the parents and siblings of the girls are also guaranteed a wealthier life. Then let's look back at my daughter beside you, what a shitty life she's been leading! It's better for her to be dead than to stay alive."
"To be honest, a pretty lady like her can easily just attract someone 10,000 times better than you, loser! That'll just save her decades of suffering! Listen, Ye Chen, you mark my words. Like it or not, your divorce must happen. Or you will be stuck with me forever."
Liu Xueqin pointed at Ye Chen, cursing violently with her veins trembling.
"You don't have a say here, do you? You mark my words here, too. Even if Ye Chen is willing to sign the divorce papers, I won't. No matter how poor or shitty he is, I, will be with him for the rest of my life!"
Chen Yinuo cried out emotionally.
She was fed up with it.
She was fed up with the face of her parents who just treated her as a cash cow!
"Yinuo, calm down!" Ye Chen immediately pacified her.
"I don't need to. Ye Chen, be a man and don't let them force me out of here today!" Chen Yinuo wiped her tears and shouted loudly.
These words suddenly touched Ye Chen deep down.
As Chen Yinuo said,
if he did nothing to stop her parents from taking away her,
then he indeed got no balls.
"Mom."
after a deep breath,
he looked at Liu Xueqin and spoke.
"Again, I have never recognized you as my son-in-law!" Liu Xueqin retorted.
But Ye Chen ignored her attitude.
"To be frank, all you want is money, right?"
"True, but do you have any? You don't. You're nothing but an awful alcoholic and gambler!"
Liu Xueqin sneered bluntly.
"Alright!"
Ye Chen nodded, took out his wallet, and handed the newly issued bank card to Liu Xueqin. "There is Three to four million yuan left here, you can take them all. Consider it as my compensating for the past."
"Three to four million yuan? Haha, are you kidding me? You have three or four million yuan? If you told me that you had that many hairs, I'll buy it. But three or four million yuan? Are you taking me for a fool? Don't you think that I knew nothing. I understand that you are being chasing by those cruel loan sharks. If you got nothing to feed them, how the hell can you give me so much money? Do you think I'm stupid?"
Liu Xueqin cursed angrily.
"If you do not believe me. Feel free to go to the bank to check it. The password is Yinuo's of birthday!" Ye Chen responded.
To convince Liu Xueqin, he continued. "And if you find the account is empty, I'll be here waiting for your curse and punishment. There is an ATM not far downstairs, just minutes of walk."
"Are you serious?"
Seeing Ye Chen's certainty, Liu Xueqin hesitated.
"Yes, I am!" Ye Chen nodded.
"Okay, I'll trust you for this time! If you dare to lie to me, you are so doomed!" Liu Xueqin snorted coldly.
After that, she was about to take the bank card from Ye Chen's hand.
"Mom, if you take this card, you won't have me as your daughter anymore!"
Chen Yinuo said, trembling.
Though she didn't know the source of Ye Chen's money,
she was fully aware that this must be everything Ye Chen owned.
If it was really taken away by her mother, it meant that Ye Chen would be thrown back to being impoverished again.
She was surely moved by Ye Chen's sacrifice for her. But at the same time, she was feeling the goosebumps from disappointment in her parents all over the body.
"Huh, if he's not lying, wouldn't it be better to give it to me than for this gambler to lose it to others?"
Liu Xueqin snorted and snatched the card in Ye Chen's hand straightaway.
"Mom, what are you doing? Give it back to him!"
Seeing this, Chen Yihao panicked and wanted to grab the bank card in Liu Xueqin's hand.
But Liu Xueqin would never let go of money in her hand.
"What do you mean by giving it back? I don't even know whether there is any money or not. And if there is, that's what I deserve! It's mine already!"
She shoved the bank card into her pocket in a hurry.
And then Liu Xueqin grabbed Chen Jianguo by the arm and ordered. "Let's go!"
Immediately they turned around and walked out.
"I... What did I do to deserve parents like them!"
Seeing her mother who would stop at nothing,
Chen Yihao kicked the wall with tears in her eyes.
"Sis, don't worry. I will help you get this card back and give it back to him. I promise!"
Eyes red, he promised his sister, not daring to look at her in the eyes.
And then Chen Yihao stormed off to catch his parents.
After the riotous family left,
Chen Yinuo, who had been struggling to keep herself from collapsing, lost control.
She buried her face in her hands, wailing.
Seeing this, Ye Chen pulled her up with misty eyes and hugged her tightly.
"Why!"
"What the hell did I do!"
While tears came cascading down on Ye Chen's shoulders,
Chen Yinuo wept intermittently.
"It'll be fine, soon. Trust me."
Swallowing his anger, Ye Chen lightly rubbed the back of Chen Yinuo's head and consoled her softly through his gritted teeth.
By soon, he meant that he will make her parents regret. Pretty soon.
"Mom, don't cry. Mom, don't cry. Woo..."
Ye Youyou inched towards her and gently pulled at the hem of her clothes. Then she burst into tears loudly, too.
.....
After Ye Chen calmed down both,
it was already midnight.
Looking at his haggard-looking wife Chen Yinuo closing the bedroom door with Youyou, saying "good night",
Ye Chen was overwhelmed by the unspeakable mixed feelings deep inside.
But,
Chen Yinuo's attitude was certainly a silver lining for him. An early reunion of them was possible indeed!
Just as Ye Chen was about to shower and go to bed, so quietly lest they might be disturbed,
his phone rang suddenly.
"Jingshan, what's going on? It's in the middle of the night already." Ye Chen asked in curiosity.
"Damn, Brother Ye, I almost forgot what the old man had told me to do!" Zhang Jingshan answered urgently.
"What?" Ye Chen waited for his explanation.
"Brother Ye, here's the thing. The old man said he wanted to get to know you and talk to you. Are you available tomorrow? I've already promised him that you'll be there. Please, you gotta help me out here." Zhang Jingshan hurriedly described the current situation.
The old secretary wanted to talk to me?
Ye Chen was surprised. But after thinking for a while, he understood.
He knew that Zhang Jingshan must have told everything about Sihai Group to the old secretary Zhang Weimin.
So, sophisticated as Zhang Weimin, he must know something about the movements of the inspection team, Ye Chen pondered.
"Right, Brother Ye. Can you do that for me?"
Ye Chen paused and thought to himself.
Getting acquainted with Zhang Weimin was also part of his plan.
"Tomorrow is it. I'll be there!"
"Awesome! Then I'll go pick you up!" Zhang Jingshan said in relief.
"OK, call me when you come. It's still at the intersection of Dongpu Street!"
