The daughter’s worry, seen in Ye He Ping’s eyes, made him happy. Although this ho was no longer really a ho with only himself, he still had two sensible daughters, leaving him with little regret.
"You, child, go on and live your life with Shen Bin. How could I not take care of myself? Besides, I might et soone good for . If I go with you and Shen Bin, won’t I miss out?"
The last sentence was clearly a joke. Ye Ling knew her father was trying to reassure her, so she laughed and said, "Dad, what you said makes sense. If there’s really soone good for you, don’t miss out. Having soone by your side is better than being alone."
Ye He Ping was about to move past this topic when he heard an angry female voice cut in, "I never knew a daughter would tell her own father to find a partner. Your mother is not dead yet, just how heartless can you be?"
As soon as the words fell, Bai Xue stord into the house angrily, followed closely by Ye Qian. Ye Ling was worried, "Mom, don’t be impulsive. My sister said it for Dad’s good, and didn’t you two already divorce?"
Ye Ling looked at the two intruding people with a hint of coldness at the corners of her mouth. Fortunately, Ye Qian was smart and took over the conversation, reminding them before she could say anything that wouldn’t sound as nice.
Bai Xue resented her younger daughter for not supporting her and cast a malicious glance at Ye Ling, "If I hadn’t co today, I wouldn’t know you had such intentions all along."
And then she charged towards Ye Ling.
Shen Bin was the first to stand up, "Mom, Ye Ling is also thinking about Dad. His health isn’t good, so having company isn’t bad. If you really didn’t want to divorce Dad, you shouldn’t have done it in the first place. Now that you’re divorced and blaming Ye Ling for this, isn’t that contradictory?"
Bai Xue ca to seek help from Shen Bin, and though she found his words unpleasant, she didn’t dare respond, just glaring at Ye Ling behind her. Ye He Ping also reacted angrily, "Nonsense, if you’re angry, take it out on . After the divorce, everyone lives their own lives. How to live is no one’s business, and this is my own thought, it has nothing to do with Ye Ling."
Ye He Ping didn’t expect a joke to lead to his daughter being scolded by his ex-wife in front of the son-in-law, making him even less fond of the ex-wife.
Bai Xue cried and accused Ye He Ping, "Ye He Ping, you heartless person, what did you say back then? You promised that you wouldn’t remarry after the divorce. And now, not long after, you’re looking for soone. Tell , did you already have soone outside which is why you kept wanting to divorce ? No wonder you gave everything and still pay a large sum every year. Turns out you already had soone outside."
In this day and age, relationships like that aren’t a good thing.
Ye He Ping, a temporary worker, certainly didn’t want such a reputation, "Shut up, I promised you I wouldn’t remarry, and I will keep that promise. I just don’t believe I can’t find soone who doesn’t marry but is willing to live together for life. Does that satisfy you?"
This one rebuke left Bai Xue stunned, looking at Ye He Ping in disbelief, "How... how could you do this to ?"
"What did I do to you?" Ye He Ping didn’t want to argue with her anymore and waved his hand, "Is there a reason you ca here? If you have sothing to say, say it. If not, leave."
The eldest daughter was leaving soon, and it would only be a morning, so he didn’t want to waste it arguing with the ex-wife.
Ye Qian tugged at her mother’s hand, "Mom, didn’t we co to take care of business? Since sis and brother-in-law are here, say it."
Ye Ling couldn’t have imagined her first eting after marriage would be under such circumstances. Ye Qian dared not look at Shen Bin, secretly blaming her mother for being so out of line. Even after divorcing their father, she still wanted to stir up trouble. If she really couldn’t let go, she could have said a few soft words to coax him back. Knowing their father’s soft heart, he wouldn’t disagree. But now, she had blocked all the ways back.
After entering the house and encountering such a scene, Bai Xue had no mind to care about the niece’s affairs. But seeing Shen Bin and Ye Ling standing there, she just wanted to give them a hard ti and ordered Shen Bin domineeringly, "Your cousin had to quit her job at the company, suddenly leaving without a place arranged. Back in her hotown, there’s no decent work. Just talk to your dad and arrange a job for her in the city."
Clearly asking for help, yet it sounded like charity.
Ye Qian knew what her mother was thinking; in the future, she would be Shen Bin’s mother-in-law, so she could assu the airs. If Shen Bin disagreed, it would an that Ye Ling was also suppressed by him.
That small motive was obvious to everyone present. Ye Ling didn’t save her face and mocked, "With your airs and connections in the compound, do you really need my father-in-law’s help to get a job? Isn’t that overqualified?"
"You damn girl..." Bai Xue wanted to curse, but Ye He Ping’s sharp glance made her stop, "That’s your cousin, and you’re just watching her without helping. Can your conscience be clear?"
"Did her forgery for a temporary job to help Jiang Yan clear her conscience?" Ye Ling retorted.
Bai Xue’s expression froze, lacking in confidence, "You’re still holding a grudge? That was so many years ago."
"Of course, I rember it, especially when you helped Jiang Yan’s family against Bai Hehua." Ye Ling’s voice was calm, yet it sent an inexplicable chill down the spines of those present.
Ye He Ping glared at his wife, recalling one by one the things she’d done. It wasn’t just the daughter; even he felt cold, "The work matters within the company must have been arranged long ago. Don’t think of taking shortcuts and asking Ye Ling and them to intervene. She hasn’t studied much, nor does she have any expertise. Even if you put her in a hospital, can she practice as a doctor? That would harm others and herself. Stop trying to shoulder stuff that’s not yours. Ye Ling’s father-in-law may be a leader, but he can’t misuse his power for personal gains."
Unwilling to argue further with the ex-wife, he turned to the younger daughter, "You also have work at the company, right? Take your mother back, and then go back to work. Stop taking leave. Now that you’re working, your duty is the most important."
Ye Qian’s ears burned, and she obediently replied, "Dad, I know."
Looking at the obedient younger daughter, Ye He Ping felt a sense of comfort despite his wife’s behavior, at least the younger daughter...
