"In this world, only you would speak about your daughter like that."
"Not every divorced man from a second marriage is an old man. Didn’t Shen Congmo get divorced too? Although it was against their will, you agreed, didn’t you?" Content orıginally comes from novelꜰire.net
"Is that the same thing?" Ye Ying rolled her eyes. "Even if Shen Congmo marries three times, I’d still be willing to marry him."
"You either accept these matchmaking conditions, or you go work in the company like everyone else and fend for yourself."
"Crying out for dad is useless too; you need to decide for yourself. You’re still picky. Who knows if others will disdain you? If you really don’t want to go on blind dates, find someone decent yourself and get married. That way, I won’t have to worry about you. Once reputation in our circle gets tarnished, you really can only settle."
"And what if I find someone with average family background?" Ye Ying asked, "Would you let me marry him?"
"As long as he truly cares for you, I will let you marry."
"Mom, remember you said this. I’ll handle my own future. I don’t believe I can’t find a man who wants me, young and beautiful as I am."
Right after she finished speaking, a loud bang echoed from the stairs as Shi Xiaotian rolled down, followed quickly by Ye Zheng rushing down the stairs.
Ye Mu hurried over and saw Shi Xiaotian covered in bruises. She finally spoke, "Are you trying to kill her? No matter what, she is still your wife. Consider having a child first, you’re beating her so hard even if she’s pregnant, the baby would miscarry."
"Mom..." Shi Xiaotian grabbed Ye Mu’s legs, "Mom, let us get a divorce, I can’t take it anymore."
"A divorce?!" Ye Zheng kicked him harshly, "I didn’t say divorce, there’s no divorce."
Ye Mu pulled Ye Zheng away and bent down to help Shi Xiaotian up, instructing the butler to medicate her.
"Have you two had a single peaceful day since you got married?" Ye Mu said irritably to her son, "Do you really want to end up with another dead body by beating her ?"
"Why wouldn’t I beat her today? She was flirting with another man online!" Ye Zheng sneered coldly, "She’s thinking of having an affair while still married to me."
"I was just chatting, what’s the big deal? Isn’t it because you keep hitting me every other day, I’m feeling suffocated."
Ye Zheng tried to kick her again but was stopped by Ye Mu, "Enough! Go do whatever you need to do, stay out of this."
Ye Zheng turned and went upstairs.
After Shi Xiaotian was medicated, Ye Mu finally said, "So, you were once Tao Yunfei’s girlfriend, why did you cling to my son? You wanted to marry into a wealthy family yourself, and now you’re thinking of backing out? Not so easy, you’re already married. Don’t think about anything else; giving birth to a son for Ye Zheng is what’s important now. If you get pregnant, I promise he won’t touch you."
Shi Xiaotian also deeply regretted, the Ye family now felt like her own personal hell; she thought about escaping every day.
"I just want to get divorced..." Shi Xiaotian said expressionlessly, "If you don’t let us divorce, mom, perhaps someday it won’t be me who dies, but your son instead."
Ye Mu was taken aback and exchanged glances with Ye Ying.
"No turning back for you now." Ye Ying’s voice was sharp. "I’ll talk to my brother, maybe sell you into the nightlife, let you repent."
"As long as you don’t kill me, I’m determined to kill all of you," Shi Xiaotian’s gaze alarmed Ye Mu, as she saw Ye Ying move towards her and held her back, "What are you doing?"
"I’m going to slap her to death right now."
