Seeing even her own family mber, Zhang Jianjun, refused to help her, the middle-aged woman was fuming.
She slapped Zhang Chaoyu across the face, demanding, "You unfilial son, what in the world have you done that’s so outrageous? You’ve nearly gotten your own mother killed!"
A bright red handprint imdiately appeared on Zhang Chaoyu’s face, yet he didn’t dare show a hint of anger.
He turned his head towards Xu Ling on the side and raised his hand to deliver a slap straight to her face.
"It’s all damn your fault, you stupid bitch. Who did you have to ss with, of all people? So this is the ’loser’ you were talking about? You’ve gotten my mom’s life in danger!"
"Get lost right now, and don’t let ever see you again!"
Xu Ling pouted, looking wronged. Though she was hit, she didn’t dare get angry and just leaned delicately against Zhang Chaoyu, asking with grievance, "Dear, don’t you love anymore?"
Seeing her act like this, Zhang Chaoyu grew even more furious, and kicked her as he cursed, "Love you my ass! Get lost, right now, imdiately!"
And like that, Xu Ling was expelled from the hospital, her marriage once again falling apart.
After several past incidents, Xu Ling’s reputation in Hai City was already terrible, akin to dogshit. It took her great effort to finally land a wealthy fool like Zhang Chaoyu, thinking she could settle for a peaceful life, only to have it ruined halfway by Ye Ming.
She pounded the ground in rage, cursing, "Ye Ming, it’s all because of you, bastard. You’ve ruined my plans ti and ti again. I won’t let this go! I’ll make you pay the most painful price!"
...
After leaving the hospital, Ye Ming went straight back to his own ho.
As soon as he entered the door, he was stunned by the scene before him: the once empty courtyard of the villa was now filled with a variety of flowers, plants, and vegetables.
Among the flowers, a woman and a girl were squatting there weeding.
Upon hearing footsteps, the woman quickly stood up and, upon seeing Ye Ming, imdiately broke into a joyful smile, running over, "Son, how co you’re back? Why didn’t you let know in advance?"
Ye Ming grinned and said, "Mom, I just wanted to surprise you!"
Lin Bingqing also called out from the side eagerly, "Auntie, long ti no see, you look much better!"
Jiang Rou was very happy, promptly pulling the two toward the villa.
In the anti, the little girl who had been crouching in the bushes also stood up, and Ye Ming was slightly taken aback when he saw her.
She was the sa girl he had t before in Xiaosang Village, Xiao Lian.
"Brother Ye Ming!" Xiao Lian called out sweetly, quickly coming up to greet him.
Jiang Rou asked in surprise, "Xiao Lian, you two know each other?"
Xiao Lian nodded hastily, "Auntie, Brother Ye Ming is the nice man from the city I told you about before!"
Jiang Rou was thrilled and hurriedly ushered the three of them into the house.
Ye Ming was curious about Xiao Lian’s arrival, and after asking, he found out that Qin Tianyu, worried about Jiang Rou being lonely and without anyone to take care of her, found her a young caretaker.
Having seen the big city before, Xiao Lian was deeply fascinated and planned to live in the city. By a stroke of serendipity, she ended up in Ye Ming’s ho.
Xiao Lian was adept at work, pretty in appearance, and sincere at heart; Jiang Rou liked her very much. Over ti, the two had developed a harmonious relationship, and life in the villa was filled with joy.
After hearing his mother’s account, Ye Ming said to Xiao Lian, "I must say, fate is indeed a wonderful thing. Xiao Lian, from now on, you should stay here and keep my mother company."
"Don’t worry about your salary—I will pay you ten tis the market rate!"
Ye Ming was very grateful to Xiao Lian, for if it hadn’t been for her taking the trouble to give him two Silver Snow Grass seeds last ti, he wouldn’t have achieved today’s success.
Xiao Lian quickly waved her hands and said with alarm, "Brother Ming, I don’t want money. Living in the villa, I have everything I need, which is much better than the village. Just don’t send away!"
Without waiting for Ye Ming to speak, Jiang Rou interjected, "Xiao Lian, you can rest assured. With here, no one can send you away!"
After exchanging so pleasantries, two more people walked in from outside—it was Qin Tianyu and Scarface.
They were managing Ye Ming’s business in Hai City. When they learned that Ye Ming had returned to Hai City, they naturally rushed over imdiately.
However, upon seeing Ye Ming, they instantly felt that they were no longer in the sa world as him.
Even when reporting on work, they felt ashad.
Although they were based in Hai City, they were well aware of Ye Ming’s accomplishnts outside, and using the phrase ’nothing short of miraculous’ to describe them was more than fitting.
In a mont, they both felt like country folk stuck in a rustic village.
"I never imagined that in just a few short months, Mr. Ye would have reached such heights. I am truly out of my depth!" Scarface said sowhat shafacedly.
Qin Tianyu shared the sa sentint and said regretfully, "Had I known Mr. Ye would achieve so much, I should have followed him earlier. Now we can only stay within our little patch in Hai City!"
Ye Ming wasn’t as concerned about the business in Hai City anymore. He ca back this ti to let them know they could be more independent in their efforts—to branch out and develop new ventures was not out of the question.
Although he gave them his full trust, he also left them with a strong sense of defeat.
After an afternoon, Ye Ming had taken care of all business matters in Hai City.
The only person he was concerned about, Jiang Rou, was now protected by the Xia Family, and with Xiao Lian for company, she did not require his constant attention.
However, he decided to stay in Hai City for one more night to spend ti with his mother, letting Lin Bingqing return to Yanjing first. After all, she was in charge of managing the business in Yanjing, and carried a great burden on her shoulders.
Seeing the dramatic change in Lin Bingqing’s status, Scarface and Qin Tianyu were green with envy, almost grinding their back teeth. But after eting Ye Ming this ti, they no longer dared to have second thoughts and decided to follow Ye Ming wholeheartedly for the rest of their lives.
After one night, Ye Ming embarked on his return journey to Yanjing.
Upon arriving ho in Yanjing, as soon as he entered the door, Ye Ming slled a refreshing floral fragrance.
Ye Ming frowned slightly, the scent causing his mind to waver and lifting his spirits.
Thinking that Lin Bingqing might have bought so expensive flowers, he decided to look for the source of the fragrance.
Once inside the villa, the aromatic scent grew stronger, and that’s when he saw a woman lying on the sofa in his living room.
The woman was dressed revealingly, with a seductive appearance and a naturally coquettish deanor. From the first glance, Ye Ming felt deeply attracted to her.
"Who are you, and why are you in my house?" Ye Ming asked, puzzled.
