Chapter 565: Chapter 564 The Cavalry Has Arrived!
Tang Wenhui didn’t expect Ya Ling to be so agreeable this ti; back when she tried to persuade Ye Lingxi to leave, she wasted so much breath to no avail.
With a sigh of relief, Tang Wenhui thought that as long as Ye Lingxi didn’t cling, things would be much easier to handle.
She took out a stack of calendars from her bag, with auspicious dates already calculated and marked, and handed them to the Shen parents.
“You take a look first.
Xi Xi, co with to the restroom.”
“Mom!” Ye Jinwen was so anxious he scratched his head frantically.
Ya Ling, however, didn’t say much and followed Tang Wenhui’s footsteps to the restroom.
In the space where only the two of them remained, Tang Wenhui sized up Ye Lingxi more blatantly, as if trying to see through her.
The girl before her was very different from before.
In the past, she would look at her with eyes full of flattery and gratitude.
But now, she had beco sowhat wild and defiant.
Tang Wenhui wondered if Ye Lingxi had found a new backer; otherwise, how could she dare to treat her like this?
Tang Wenhui slowly retracted her gaze, crossed her arms over her chest, and spoke indifferently.
“Xi Xi, I’m glad you made it back alive.
After all, I raised you for twenty years.
Even raising a cat or dog, one would feel attached, let alone I’ve always treated you like my own daughter.”
“I have never dared to forget your kindness in raising ,” Ya Ling responded calmly.
Tang Wenhui paused for a mont before continuing to speak assertively.
“You made it very clear before that you would not entangle yourself with Jinwen any longer.
I hope you can do as you say.
Since you’ve co back, it ans our paths are still crossed.
I’ll find you a job at the hospital; after you get married, you should just settle down.”
Had it been the Ye Lingxi of the past, she might have been touched.
But the Ya Ling of today discerned nothing but charity in Tang Wenhui’s words.
While twirling her long hair, she laughed and refused, “Mrs.
Ye, there’s no need for you to find a job.
I won’t be pursuing a career as a doctor anymore.”
“Then what do you want to do?
Should I give you so money to start a small business?”
Tang Wenhui’s eagerness was not lost on Ya Ling.
“Actually, there’s no need to be so nervous.
My return this ti was purely accidental.
Moreover, I didn’t co out here with you to reopen the old kidnapping case.”
“…” Tang Wenhui suddenly found herself at a loss for words.
“You’re resenting …”
She took a deep breath, “You resent for not saving you back then, for choosing Jinwen’s dad.
But I, too, had my stand.
I couldn’t watch you and Jinwen falling deeper…”
Ya Ling lowered her head.
Two years ago, during the kidnapping incident, she and Ye Qingsui, Jinwen’s father, were taken.
The kidnappers contacted Tang Wenhui and demanded a ransom.
Ɲονǥᴑ.с0
Back then, it never crossed her mind she would be abandoned.
Ten million was nothing for the Ye family; Tang Wenhui could produce it in minutes.
But as she awaited her life-saving mont, the kidnappers told her that the Ye family only saved Ye Qingsui.
She was dumbfounded.
She had promised Tang Wenhui that she would leave Jinjing, had already packed her bags and bought a ticket.
However, she never imagined that they would push her out like this by pretending it was an accident.
They left her no way out.
If it hadn’t been for Lu Mian, she would have had only death awaiting her.
She didn’t know whether she should resent them.
All this ti, she had strived hard in her studies and made progress because she wanted to be their pride.
Even though they weren’t her biological parents, she held a heart full of gratitude and respect for them.
She never knew Tang Wenhui would despise her so much over this romance…
With a somber tone, Tang Wenhui sighed deeply, “Everyone outside believes you are my own daughter.
When that affair between you and Jinwen beca public, where did you leave the reputation of the Ye family?”
Following Tang Wenhui’s words, Ya Ling also snapped back from her mories.
She was no longer Miss Ye; she now belonged to Lu Mian.
What was there to fear?
“Mrs.
Ye, let’s not talk about these useless matters.
I ca here today to get back the research reports my parents left at the Life Science Institute.
That’s my only purpose.”
She had heard about these events from Ye Jinwen’s grandfather, as her parents were working at the Life Science Institute at the ti, imrsed in a highly classified project.
However, one day, a sudden fire broke out in the institute and they sacrificed themselves trying to rescue the research results.
But fortunately, so reports, papers, and other materials were left behind, and Grandpa Ye said all these were placed in the care of Ye Qingsui and Tang Wenhui.
“Research reports?” Tang Wenhui looked at Ya Ling warily, a complexity flickering in her eyes.
She paused for quite a while before saying, “Twenty-one years have passed, all those things have been archived already.”
“Nothing is left at all?”
Tang Wenhui nodded, “There was very little left to begin with, and what was left was inconsequential, so it got archived.”
Ya Ling uttered an “Oh” without further comnt, seemingly having anticipated this.
“Mrs.
Ye, if there’s nothing else, may I leave now?”
“Go ahead.” Watching her walk away with a carefree deanor, Tang Wenhui couldn’t help but remind her, “Rember what you promised.”
Ya Ling’s red lips curled into a smile as she walked off.
When the two returned to the living room, Huang Lijun teased, “You mother and daughter have a really good relationship, whispering to each other for so long.”
Tang Wenhui and Ya Ling each offered a cool smile, a silent understanding shared among everyone present.
“So, have you chosen a date yet?” Tang Wenhui asked casually.
Shen Yixin couldn’t hold back any longer, and Ye Jinwen was also on the verge of exploding.
Before either of them could erupt, a figure suddenly burst into the living room, flustered and in a rush, as if they had seen sothing terrifying.
“Mom, Dad, save !”
Shen Yiyao ran in from outside, throwing herself upon Shen Juntao and Huang Lijun, crying out, “Soone wants to kill , save , please!”
“Yiyao, what’s wrong, what happened?”
The topic of discussing dates was instantly interrupted by Shen Yiyao, as everyone’s attention shifted to her in a mont of dire urgency.
“Yiyao, what’s going on?” Tang Wenhui asked.
Seeing her parents and the elders of the Ye Family present, Shen Yiyao was overco with relief, knowing she had more people to back her up.
“It’s Lu Mian, Lu Mian ordered soone to chop off my hand!”
Lu Mian?
The Ye couple paused.
Huang Lijun sprung to her feet, fuming, “That country bumpkin, how dare she?!”
Ya Ling pressed her hair against her ear, emmm…
“She found people, they’re right outside our house.
Mom, Dad, you have to save !” She conveniently omitted the part about hiring rcenaries, and imdiately cast the bla on Lu Mian.
“This Lu Mian is too much, constantly bullying the Shen family.
Even if she’s Mr.
Xiao’s girlfriend, she can’t be so brazen!”
After Huang Lijun finished speaking, two n dressed in black with icy expressions burst into the living room.
Indeed, they looked like they were after Shen Yiyao.
Frightened, Shen Yiyao quickly sought refuge in her parents’ embrace.
Seeing this, both Mr.
and Mrs.
Ye thought it was a bit too much and scolded the two n opposite them.
“This is the Shen house, not a place for you to run wild.
Have your master co out and speak!”
No sooner had Tang Wenhui finished speaking than two more people walked in through the door.
The presence of a man and a woman captured everyone’s attention.
The man was tall and domineering, the girl beautiful and statuesque; they walked in leisurely side by side, standing shoulder to shoulder.
Ye Jinwen and Shen Yixin imdiately breathed a sigh of relief, smiles breaking out on their faces.
Their reinforcents had arrived!
