Chapter 210: Chapter 187 Disturbance
Ye Xiao couldn’t help but consider the feasibility of this matter.
Firstly,
Yue Heng’s parents were actually always reasonable people.
They had never favored Yue Heng; if the Yue Family had been helping Yue Heng behind the scenes, the matter might not have been so easy to handle.
Secondly,
Yue Heng was now brazenly confident, relying on the fact that he was the only son in the family.
What if,
he wasn’t anymore?
If a new heir were to appear and Yue Heng continued with his reckless behavior, he might be abandoned outright.
This would be like cutting off the hero’s retreat.
Anything detrimental to the hero and heroine is hugely beneficial to us!
Ye Xiao hurriedly looked up the plot.
Sure enough, Yue Heng’s parents had gone for a medical examination.
At this moment, they were merely undergoing a checkup. If the doctor said it wasn’t suitable, they would have to give up.
Ye Xiao thought about it and altered a few words in the plot.
Thereupon,
when Yue Heng’s parents got their checkup results, the doctor was shocked.
“How is it that you haven’t been able to conceive a second child after all these years?”
You’re in such great shape! Logically, by now, you should already have several children.
The doctor meant…
that the couple’s condition… was very good?
The couple’s eyes lit up, and they started preparing for pregnancy with dedicated focus.
Meanwhile,
Yue Heng was still oblivious to his parents’ shenanigans, as he brought Tong Simeng back to the villa under his name.
As soon as he entered,
he went crazy.
Originally,
the villa’s garden was full of a variety of flowers, some of which were specially cultivated rare species, while others had been air freighted from abroad.
Now, all these flowers had been uprooted!
And the soil was all turned over. Buckets of manure water were placed alongside, with their foul stench assaulting the nostrils.
That woman was toiling hard at sowing seeds.
Her husband, along with another chubby man, was sitting in the pavilion, eating watermelon and spitting the seeds everywhere.
Yue Heng felt in a flash as if all his blood had rushed to his head, and he said loudly, “What are you doing!”
His shout was earth-shattering, and he immediately covered his nose afterward.
Li Cuihua, who was sowing the seeds, was startled for a moment and looked up to see Yue Heng and Tong Simeng.
A huge smile appeared on her face—the two idiots had returned!
She took a ladle of manure water and headed towards them.
“Stand right there!” Yue Heng said sternly.
Li Cuihua, looking wronged, set down the ladle of manure and said, “Mr. Yue, I just thought these flowers were useless and attracted bugs, so I pulled them out. I plan to plant some vegetables here, so we can pick fresh ones right when we go out; isn’t that great?”
Tong Simeng tugged at Yue Heng’s sleeve, “She had good intentions.”
“Good intentions? What good intentions,” Yue Heng shouted.
Tong Simeng was momentarily stunned, somewhat at a loss.
Yue Heng ground his teeth and said, “Tong Simeng! These are Ye Bingtong’s parents, not yours! You better take care of these two as soon as possible.”
What? The fool wanted to drive them away?
The father and son watching the commotion were unable to continue eating their watermelons.
The fat one immediately shouted, “Mom, didn’t you meet some kind people who brought me here to enjoy the good life? What’s going on now? What kind of kind people are these? He was just pretending all along, wasn’t he?”
“Yeah, you said you’d provide for us, but you only gave us support for one month. Now you’re kicking us out? Fine, but first, you need to settle ten years’ worth of living expenses,” the man also shouted.
Yue Heng’s complexion turned even grimmer, a hint of chilly ruthlessness flashing in his eyes as he said in a sinister tone, “What, do you think I owe you something?”
Yue Heng looked somewhat terrifying.
Li Cuihua shivered and turned to Tong Simeng, “Miss Tong, about this…”
Tong Simeng was also in a difficult position.
It was she who had offered to take in these two individuals.
But now…
She didn’t feel confident to speak out in front of Yue Heng.
Suddenly.
Her eyes lit up as she thought of something and pulled Yue Heng aside.
“Yue Heng, these two, weren’t they the ones who once raised Ye Xiao? I can’t get in touch with Ye Bingtong for now, so why not direct them to find Ye Xiao? They do owe them for raising her, after all. If Ye Xiao doesn’t show gratitude, she’ll certainly be condemned,” she suggested.
Yue Heng’s gaze immediately flickered with interest.
He now hated the Ye Family to the core.
His previous decision to keep these pests was with the thought that one day they might be useful in vexing Ye Xiao.
And now.
The opportunity had indeed come up.
Yue Heng’s face eased up a bit.
Tong Simeng gauged his expression, “Shall I go and speak to them?”
Yue Heng nodded, “Alright.”
Tong Simeng approached them and said, “You know that I have no relationship with any of you, right? If I shelter you, not everyone may praise me for being kind, but if I turn you out, that’s only natural and no one can fault me for it.”
At Tong Simeng’s words, the family’s faces changed, and they seemed ready to make a scene.
Tong Simeng continued, “But your two daughters, they have a duty to you! Since that incident, Ye Bingtong has been in hiding and I can’t find her at the moment. But Ye Xiao is filming with a crew; the target is quite clear, isn’t it? All you need to do is go find her. If she doesn’t care for you, make a fuss. People with money care about their reputation. If you stir things up enough, she’ll have to recognize you.”
A glint of greed flashed in the eyes of the three family members at her words.
The man spoke up, “The Ye Family doesn’t seem like just any ordinary household; you’re not setting us up, are you?”
“The more extraordinary the household, the more they care about saving face. As long as you make a big enough fuss, she won’t be able to ignore you,” Tong Simeng explained. “At the very least, you’ll be able to get some money out of it. Any spare change from Ye Xiao would be enough for you to live on for a lifetime.”
Her words indeed tempted them.
But Li Cuihua was also quite shrewd; she rolled her eyes, “We can leave, and we can go find Ye Xiao, but you must give us some money first. Otherwise, I won’t go anywhere.”
No matter how Tong Simeng urged, when it came to money, these people would not budge.
Left with no choice, Tong Simeng had to discuss it with Yue Heng again.
After some thought, Yue Heng was also willing to shell out a sum of money. As long as they could vex the Ye Family, vex Ye Xiao, it would be worth it for him.
Yue Heng gave them two hundred thousand on the spot.
This family had never seen so much money in their lifetime.
All three of them had a greedy glint in their eyes.
Tong Simeng added, “Ye Xiao can give at least ten times this amount.”
Their common sense was completely overwhelmed in an instant.
They knew what they had done to Ye Xiao and had been hesitant about targeting her before.
But now!
Two million! No matter what, that was worth a try.
They could endure some humiliation for that amount of money.
The three of them, after much persuasion, were ultimately convinced by Tong Simeng to leave.
Tong Simeng also provided them with the exact location of Ye Xiao’s filming site.
After discussing for a night, they decided to go ask for money the next day.
They didn’t ask for much.
Now that Ye Xiao was the daughter of the Ye Family and a big star, surely two million wouldn’t be too much to expect!
