Chapter 15 Stay Away From Me
When Ye Chen stepped out of the lift in the lobby, Chen Yinuo happened to also walk out of the lift on the other side.
"Yi..."
Without thinking about it, Ye Chen opened his mouth to speak.
But Chen Yinuo quickened her steps without looking at him, as if he was a stranger.
Seeing that, Ye Chen could only give up in bitter defeat.
After walking out of Yunshan Network Company, Chen Yinuo suddenly slowed down her steps.
It was only when Ye Chen was about to approach her, did she coldly spoke, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, Mr. Zhang is not one of those scumbags you know outside. You'd better not corrupt him with your bad influence. If you do, you'll be done for, before the loan sharks could even get to you! Someone like him can easily crush you like a puny ant, so know your limits!."
A liar and a swindler, this was Chen Yinuo's perception of her 'husband'. And she did not believe that Ye Chen would be capable of changing and reforming from his crooked ways.
When she first saw Ye Chen coming to Yuntian Network Company, he was acting so friendly with Zhang Jingshan. Naturally, she thought that Ye Chen was trying to swindle Zhang Jingshan.
What other explanation is there for a scum of society like Ye Chen to be seen with someone like Zhang Jingshan?
"Yinuo, are you concerned about me?" Ye Chen said innocently, his face almost bursting out in delight.
But he was instantly rebuked by Chen Yinuo, "Stay away from me!"
Then she laughed coldly, "Concerned about you? You think too much, I just don't want anything to happen to you before the divorce.. The last thing I need is being labeled as a widow! After the divorce, I will have nothing to do with you! You can die for all I care!"
If it was in the past, Ye Chen might have been angry with Chen Yinuo for saying those words.
But now, he felt nothing but guilty.
In this life, he knew that Chen Yinuo had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She ended up this way all because of the deep hurt she had experienced from his foolish past self!
His heart squirmed as he thought of how Chen Yinuo risked her own happiness to save him in his past life. To pay off the loan sharks, she had to borrow money from the bald middle-aged man and that sealed her fate.
At that moment, Chen Yinuo's phone suddenly rang sharply.
"Hello, who is it?" Chen Yinuo answered the phone.
"Is this Miss Chen Yinuo?" The voice came from the other end.
"Yes, that's me. You are?" Chen Yinuo's heart was vaguely uneasy.
The caller said, "Hello, Miss Chen, we are from Yanjiang Police Station. Your brother, Chen Yihao, is currently detained here for assault and battery. As the family of the victim is also here at the station, we'd like for you to come over now to see if a peaceful settlement is possible. If a settlement cannot be reached, then we'll have to file a case. "
What?
Yihao assaulted someone?
He was detained at the police station?
In that instant, the news struck Chen Yinuo like a bolt out of the blue! Her face turned pale and her body went limp!
"If Chen Yihao is left with a criminal record, what kind of life would he have in the future?", she thought.
"Miss Chen, are you listening?" The voice on the other end rang out again.
"Yes, I'm listening. I'm coming over, I'll be there right away!"
Chen Yinuo answered in a panic, her voice trembled and she was choking up. She was overcome with fear and was on the verge of tears.
"What's wrong?" Ye Chen asked urgently after seeing Chen Yinuo put down her phone in a panic.
"Yihao injured someone and is now being held in the police station!" Chen Yinuo blurted out reflexively.
But as soon as the words left her mouth, she immediately regretted it.
What was she doing telling the monster about the incident?
"It's none of your business. As long as you stay away from me and don't bother me, I'm thankful to God!"
After blurting out those words, Chen Yinuo ran hurriedly to the side of the road to stop a taxi.
Seeing this, Ye Chen originally intended to go with Chen Yinuo.
But after thinking about it, he gave up on the idea of sharing a car with her.
Instead, he also hastily waved for a taxi.
"Follow the taxi in front, the one with license plate 2628!"
Chen Yihao, his brother-in-law.
Ye Chen knew that his brother-in-law was itching to skin him alive and murder him in cold blood.
In his previous life, when Yihao found out what happened to Yinuo and Youyou, he went crazy. While crying and wailing, he rushed to Ye Chen with a knife to kill him.
If Yihao was not stopped, Ye Chen, who had resigned to his fate, would have been hacked to death on that day.
With that said, even though Chen Yihao had always hated and resented Ye Chen, and both of them never got along since the beginning back in his previous life, the animosity within him had vanished in this life.
This was because Chen Yihao's animosity towards him was born from the harm Ye Chen had done to his sister.
Moreover, Chen Yihao's love for Ye Chen's daughter, Ye Youyou, had never changed.
For those two reasons, he could not resent Chen Yihao. Instead, he felt indebted.
They were arriving at Yanjiang Police Station.
After getting out of the car, Chen Yinuo realized that Ye Chen had followed her.
But at that moment, she could not be bothered with him.
"Hi, Mr. policeman. I'm Chen Yinuo, Chen Yihao's sister. Where is he now? Can I see him?"
Chen Yinuo asked in a trembling voice as she grabbed hold of a nearby police officer.
"Miss Chen, please calm down! Chen Yihao is now in the detention room. As per our procedure, you are not allowed to see him at this stage. Right now, you can negotiate with the family of the victim to reach a settlement. If a settlement is reached, Chen Yihao will be released immediately. If not, then we will have to file a case." The police said.
"Okay, sure. No problem, I need to negotiate! where do I go to negotiate? Where is the victim's family right now!?" Chen Yinuo cried out while sobbing.
"They're in the mediation room. Come with me!" The policeman said as he led the way.
Ye Chen was about to follow them at that point, but he was stopped by another police officer.
Before the officer could say anything, Ye Chen seized the initiative and said, "I'm her husband. Chen Yihao is my brother-in-law!"
Chen Yinuo was too anxious to bother with Ye Chen, so she did not react or say anything. When the police saw that she did not protest, they nodded and let Ye Chen follow her in.
Outside the mediation room.
The policeman said, "The victim's family is inside, go and settle this among yourselves!"
Hearing this, Chen Yinuo nodded and walked in.
Ye Chen followed behind her. She continued to ignore him and did not protest.
As soon as she entered through the door, Chen Yinuo immediately choked up and bowed deeply with tears in her eyes.
She said, "I'm so sorry for what happened. I'm really really sorry. I'm Chen Yinuo, Chen Yihao's sister. My brother did not know what he was doing and ended up hurting others. Please, forgive my brother and let him off the hook! I beg of you!"
Ye Chen's heart sank as he looked from behind her.
There were three people sitting on the other side of the table, a middle-aged couple and a rowdy-looking young man with a handful of hair that was dyed grey.
"Sorry? If a simple sorry can fix everything, then why do we need the police? Let your brother off the hook? Huh, easy said than done! Then why didn't you tell your brother to keep his hands to himself and not bash my brother's head in earlier? My brother had seven stitches for the wound on his head, seven stitches!"
The young man roared angrily and gave the middle finger as he finished speaking. He was fuming. The middle-aged couple remained silent.
