Chapter 28: Chapter 28 Ye Xinyu, Do You Even Deserve to Talk About Family Affection?
Ye Xinyu’s complexion looked awful as she sat up and abruptly embraced Gu Zuo Cheng from behind.
“Zuo Cheng, please don’t be . I know you’re angry at my cousin for inciting my younger cousin to attack me! But, hasn’t my younger cousin also received his due punishment, being taken away by the police? Let’s not be too hard on my cousin anymore…”
Ye Xinyu feigned sobs and tears in front of the reporters, putting on a show of righteousness and pleading for Ye Shu’s mercy.
Yet Ye Shu heard it loud and clear; Ye Xinyu was flaunting — Gu Zuo Cheng could incarcerate her, Ye Shu’s brother, for Ye Xinyu’s sake.
Ye Shu grabbed Gu Zuo Cheng’s collar tightly and glared at him, her voice bitterly cold as the words came out gritted between her teeth, “Is everything she said true?”
Gu Zuo Cheng kept his head down the entire time, his side-parted hair elegantly covering half of his face, concealing his current expression.
But his silence had already given Ye Shu her answer.
Ye Shu stumbled backward several steps, the bitterness in her mouth forcing its way down into her gut.
Ten years of affection, she could force herself to let go in an instant! But she couldn’t bear, no matter how, the man she had loved for ten years turning against her for another woman!
“Gu Zuo Cheng, have you ever heard the saying, ‘Those who practice injustice will bring about their own demise’? Today, I’m giving this saying to you!” One day, when she was strong enough, she would ensure all those who had hurt her, including Gu Zuo Cheng, would go to hell!
Ye Shu forcefully pushed Gu Zuo Cheng away, turned around, and made her way out through the crowd.
“Shushu…” Gu Zuo Cheng tried to explain but was held back as Ye Xinyu grabbed him from behind.
Ye Xinyu sobbed, “Zuo Cheng, my cousin really didn’t mean to offend you. Please, for my sake, spare the siblings…”
“Miss Xinyu, being so kind-hearted, aren’t you afraid they might bite back?” The reporters started digging deeper into the gossip, following Ye Xinyu’s lead.
“Spare the rod and spoil the child — after all, we’re close family…” Ye Xinyu wiped her tears, putting on an act of valuing familial ties. However, the corners of her eyes fleetingly revealed a trace of triumph while gazing at the slim figure of Ye Shu.
It was utterly laughable. How could someone as ungrateful as Ye Xinyu even speak those words?
Ye Shu scoffed, leaving the horde of reporters behind as she strode out of the hospital, hailed a taxi, and rushed to Jin City Police Station.
Upon arrival, she could see from afar, her grandmother Ji Chunni and stepmother Wen Meilan coming out of the police station.
Ji Chunni was crying heart-wrenchingly, and if it weren’t for Wen Meilan’s support, she would have collapsed on the spot.
Wen Meilan said impatiently, “Mom, what’s the use of crying now? In the end, it’s all Ye Shu’s fault, that liability. Would Zifeng have been arrested if it weren’t for her?”
“Yes, right, it’s all that liability Ye Shu’s fault! But what do we do now? Zhongming is dead, the Ye Family has fallen, and Ye Group is gone. Those relatives who used to fawn over us now act like they’ve seen a ghost when they see us, wishing they could avoid us altogether. Where can we even go to ask for help to get Zifeng out? My precious grandson…”
Ji Chunni had always favored boys over girls her entire life; Ye Zifeng was her life.
With this thought, she couldn’t help but beat her thighs and began to wail again.
