Chapter 170: Chapter 0170: A Dazzling Entrance_1
“You’re making nonsense, I never burnt her with a cigarette; I don’t even smoke, how could I do such a thing?” Ye Tongtong hastily retorted.
Tang Ning ignored her and continued to examine Ye Yangyang’s body.
“Here, Ye Tongtong pricked her with a toothpick; here, Ye Tongtong poked her with the tip of a pen, her hair used to be long, but a few days ago, Ye Tongtong cut it with scissors, and then here, here, here…”
Tang Ning ticulously described the shallow scars on Yangyang’s body, explaining as she went.
At first, Yangyang let Tang Ning handle her, but after seeing the sympathetic looks in the eyes of others, she no longer wanted to be humiliated in front of everyone and ran down to hide behind Yang Xinyi.
Seeing the wounds on his daughter’s body, Ye Yuandong’s eyes reddened.
He had never imagined that his own daughter would suffer so much at school.
Smack!
A slap landed fiercely on Ye Tongtong’s face, and Ye Yuandong roared angrily, “Ye Tongtong, is this what you ant by saying Yangyang was doing well at school?”
“What else are you hiding from ?”
“You had better give an honest answer.”
“At ho, you always act so sensible, but I didn’t expect you to be so cruel. Yangyang is your sister!”
Ye Tongtong was stunned by the slap, dropped to her knees, and burst into tears, grabbing Ye Yuandong’s pants.
“Dad, I’m sorry, forgive , I was just playing with Yangyang, I won’t dare to do it again,” Ye Tongtong cried in fear.
“Oh, just playing, huh? Let try pricking myself with a toothpick, or burning with a cigarette butt?” Tang Ning scolded.
Seeing her admitting it, Ye Yuandong grew even angrier.
Yangyang had always been afraid of pain; she would turn pale from fear when receiving an injection for a cold. He could barely imagine how painful it must have been for her when burned with a cigarette butt.
“Get back,” Ye Yuandong kicked her. “I’ll settle the score with you slowly.”
This scene caught everyone at the event by surprise; nobody had expected such a scandal to occur during Jianghai Group’s jewelry exhibition.
“Tongtong, you’ve disappointed gravely. Go down, and I will sort things out with you slowly,” Dong Xuan scolded furiously.
Ye Tongtong’s face was already swollen from Ye Xiong’s beating, and now after being slapped and kicked by her father, she ran away crying.
The situation beca extrely awkward down below; nobody expected such a scandal to unfold.
Seeing the chilly atmosphere, Dong Xuan quickly spoke into the microphone, “Ladies and Gentlen, I apologize for making a fool of ourselves. It’s our fault for being too busy with work and neglecting our daughter’s upbringing, resulting in what you see today. I apologize to all of you here.”
“In preparation for this year’s jewelry exhibition, I have not talked to Tongtong for several months.” Saying this, Dong Xuan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, her sentintal words garnering much sympathy from the audience.
“President Dong has worked hard, the daughter is immature, just teach her slowly.”
“Exactly, every family has its own issues; there’s no need to take it too seriously.”
“Just spend so ti teaching her in the future.”
Many people in the audience, who owed Dong Xuan favors, echoed her sentints.
The scandal gradually subsided with her handling.
“This woman really has no sha, faking compassion. How cunning,” Tang Ning muttered under her breath.
“This woman indeed has a heavy mind,” Yang Xinyi nodded.
She had seen countless won, but never one so cunning.
“Where the hell is my cousin’s husband? Why hasn’t he co yet? I’m still waiting for his big move!” Tang Ning cursed discontentedly.
“Who knows what he’s hiding in that gourd of his?” Yang Xinyi was also at a loss.
Just then, Ye Yuandong on stage finally cald down and said, “Ladies and Gentlen, please quiet down. I’d like to make an announcent. I’m getting on in years, growing old, and don’t have as much energy as before. Everyone here can probably tell that my wife, Dong Xuan, is very capable. Thus, seizing this opportunity, I want to announce that starting from tomorrow, Dong Xuan will assu the role of President of Jianghai Group. Let’s welco her with applause.”
Warm applause erupted.
That mont had finally arrived.
Dong Xuan was overwheld with emotion; all her years of effort had not been wasted.
The applause subsided after a while, but just then, a loud clapping broke out from the crowd; it was unique, resonating through the hall.
As the rest of the clapping halted, only that person continued, attracting the attention of everyone.
“Brother is here.”
“Damn, the bastard finally decided to show up.”
“What the hell is he doing?”
The three won looked over sharply, wondering what kind of trick he was up to.
Ye Yuandong’s gaze landed on Ye Xiong and, upon seeing him clearly, his face underwent a drastic change.
Ah Jun, wasn’t he dead? How could he possibly be here?
Compared to Ye Yuandong, Dong Xuan was even more shocked, as if she had seen a ghost.
Wasn’t he killed by soone? How could he be here?
She, too, had been through countless trials and imdiately recovered her composure, saying, “Yuandong, look at this person, doesn’t he look exactly like your son Ye Jun? I think it’s uncanny.”
“No, he is Ye Jun.”
Ye Yuandong knew his own son too well. Though they hadn’t seen each other for many years, he recognized him instantly and tears stread down his face as he walked over excitedly.
“Ah Jun, is it you? You’re not dead?” Ye Yuandong asked excitedly.
“I was indeed dead, but Yama King didn’t take in,” Ye Xiong said with a smile, walking up to the podium and extending his hand to Dong Xuan. “President Dong, congratulations on becoming the president of Jianghai Group. Has your dream co true?”
The three won below were dumbfounded. Was this guy actually shaking hands with Dong Xuan? Were they seeing things?
Dong Xuan felt guilty; to shake hands or not to shake hands both seed wrong. She stood awkwardly to the side, her heart tumultuous like a roller coaster.
She had no idea what Ye Xiong was really trying to do.
“President Dong, during such an exciting mont, shouldn’t you say sothing to everyone?” Ye Xiong said with a smile.
“Heh, alright then.”
Dong Xuan, unsure of his intentions, went beside the microphone and stuttered, “Thank… thank my husband… for giving this opportunity… I will surely manage the company well…”
She stamred through and, after finishing, couldn’t even rember what she had said.
The pressure from Ye Xiong was simply too great.
He was definitely there to settle scores with her, but he wasn’t doing it in an aggressive manner. Instead, he chose this friendly approach, which made it even harder for her to grasp his intentions.
“President Dong seems a bit too excited today, but it’s easy to understand. After so many years of pursuit, her dreams have finally been realized. Who wouldn’t be ecstatic, right?”
“Right.”
“Absolutely.”
“Well done, President Dong.”
People in the audience started to sycophantically play their parts again, echoing in response.
Ye Yuandong heard nothing of it; his gaze never left his son.
He hadn’t seen him for seven years; what had he beco?
And what was his purpose for showing up now?
Ye Xiong, taking on the role of a host, walked up to the microphone and shouted to the people below: “Let’s congratulate Ms. Dong Xuan on becoming the new president of Jianghai Group. Would you all like to hear about the glorious life of President Dong, how she went from being a child of a poor family to the wife of the owner of Jianghai Group, and now the president of the company?”
“Do you want to see this legendary life of hers?”
“We do!” The response from the audience was enthusiastic.
“Cousin, is that brother-in-law up there?” Tang Ning wondered if she was seeing things.
“What the hell is he up to?”
“How should I know what he’s up to? He never plays by the rules,” Yang Xinyi cursed.
“Brother looks terrifying,” Ye Yangyang said nervously.
“Like a laughing Buddha, what’s there to be scared of?” Tang Ning asked puzzled.
“When we were kids, Brother used to smile just like that while beating up the boys who bullied until they were searching for their teeth on the ground,” Ye Yangyang said seriously.
