Chapter 1174 - 1163: When the Daughter Is a Side Character and the Younger Sister Is the Heroine
Zhang Beichen and Ye Yun cherished the beautiful hope in their hearts, wishing to prove through their efforts that Mei Chunli was indeed framed. Because of this, they even stood opposite to Ye Qiu.
In the Ye Family hall, several people sat with serious expressions, especially Ye Changfeng who was seated at the head and looked exceedingly weary, yet forced himself to be spirited. A doctor and nurse were nearby, always ready, which was exactly why Ye Qiu arranged it this way—in truth, Ye Yun fainted once before when she mentioned that her mom was framed.
"You claim I deliberately framed your mom, Ye Yun, do you have any grounds for this?" Ye Qiu said with sarcasm, while Ye Shu sitting next to her was even more furious. She didn’t expect her admired and beloved auntie would say such a thing.
Under Ye Qiu’s sharp gaze, Ye Yun hesitated for a moment and then spoke in a voice low yet full of hatred: "I haven’t found any concrete evidence yet, but I believe my mom would never harm you; what reason would she have for doing so?"
"Then you’ll have to ask your mom, how should I know?" Ye Qiu replied expressionlessly.
Infuriated, Ye Yun stood up: "I think you conspired with that driver to deliberately frame my mom just to strike against me. You’re apprehensive of me, aren’t you? You’re afraid I’ll take your place, aren’t you?"
"You’re overthinking it. I, Ye Qiu, never fear anyone," Ye Qiu sneered, "Although you have some talents among the younger generation, you’re still not worthy to be my opponent."
"You!" Ye Yun’s chest heaved with anger. Seeing that she couldn’t convince Ye Qiu, she turned to Ye Changfeng, "Dad, do you really think Mom would harm others? She’s been in this family for so many years; if she wanted to harm anyone, why wait until today?"
Ye Changfeng sighed deeply. He hadn’t told anyone that he had a dream last night—a dream so intense it almost didn’t let him wake up.
In the dream, his elder daughter indeed had a car accident, only unlike reality, in the dream she didn’t escape alive. That large truck caused Ye Qiu’s car to crash, resulting in instantaneous deaths, including a poor pregnant woman.
The accident appeared to be accidental, even the police suspected but found no evidence. Yet, the dream version of himself later discovered abnormalities.
He discovered that his wife had been secretly supporting the culprit driver’s daughter and noticed that from then on, his wife started believing in God. Occasionally, he heard her praying late at night.
It was from that time that he understood that his elder daughter’s fatal car accident might not have been accidental, but his wife’s meticulous scheme.
Later, his wife tearfully admitted this to him, but since the elder daughter was already deceased and the company’s stock fluctuated, urgently needing the younger daughter to stabilize the morale, he was faced with a dilemma of asking his wife for the truth; what would happen to this family then?
He thought since the elder daughter was already gone, he would continue to hide the secret!
Upon waking up, Ye Changfeng was temporarily in a daze. He even questioned himself—if the elder daughter had really died as in the dream, would he choose to support his wife?
He let out another gloomy sigh, realizing he would still choose his wife, inevitably wronging the elder daughter.
Perhaps that dream was a warning from a past life. As he looked at the aggressive younger daughter, remembering her commanding demeanor in the dream’s world, he understood why his wife acted as she did!
Though he wanted to support, having already wronged the elder daughter in the dream, faced with the reality, he no longer wanted the younger daughter to act recklessly.
"Xiao Yun, there’s conclusive evidence. Though I’m heartbroken, I don’t want to defend your mom any longer, and you should stop imagining things." Ye Changfeng said wearily, "Stop causing trouble, the fault is indeed on your mom’s side. Don’t you trust the police?"
Ye Yun stared wide-eyed; just a few days ago, her dad still trusted her mom and sought the best lawyer for her; why the sudden change?
Her lips curled into a cold smile. Indeed, her mom could never compare to Dad’s deceased first wife and elder sister, Ye Qiu. While she could forgive her Dad’s deep-rooted affection, she couldn’t condone the elder sister’s malice.
"Dad, so you’re determined to side with elder sister?" Ye Yun took a deep breath and said.
Ye Changfeng looked at her anxiously: "I’m siding with the evidence, Xiao Yun. I know you don’t want to believe it, but this time it’s your mom’s fault."
"I refuse to believe it!" Ye Yun shouted, "I reject your lies, Dad. You favored the elder sister since we were young; no matter how I cared for you, no matter how Mom served you, none compared to the elder sister. I hate you!"
With that, she dashed out. Zhang Beichen glared hatefully at Ye Qiu and Ye Shu, then quickly chased after her.
"Ye Qiu..." Ye Changfeng’s breathing hastened, watching Ye Qiu persistently pointing outside.
Doctors and nurses promptly gave him a respirator, and Ye Qiu immediately reassured him, "Dad, rest assured. As long as the younger sister doesn’t act excessively, I won’t do anything to her."
Upon hearing her assurance, Ye Changfeng finally felt at ease, but as Ye Qiu turned away, she sneered silently. She wouldn’t act unless necessary, yet seeing Ye Yun and Zhang Beichen’s determination indicated they didn’t intend to let things rest.
But they were quite interesting; both had undergone rebirth, emerging from different worlds. Would they discover each other someday? If so, would they still be as loving as now?
"Mom, what do we do now? Will Aunt hold a grudge against us?" Ye Shu’s young face was filled with worry.
"Handle what needs handling, wait for the court’s judgment first," Ye Qiu gazed into the distance, "Don’t worry, focus on your studies. Mom will take care of everything."
"Okay, Mom, please be careful yourself. I’m afraid Aunt might do something extreme."
"No need to worry, Mom has practiced martial arts for years; average people aren’t my match. How’s your practice going lately?"
Speaking of this, Ye Shu’s face lit up with excitement: "Recently at school, I saw the Taekwondo club showing off. I casually commented, and they actually challenged me. None were my match. Previously, classmates admired foreign tricks, now they admire me."
"Good work, but no matter how skilled you get, don’t slack off in practice, understood?"
"Understood. Recently, some national coach invited me to apply for sports credits but I’m disinterested. However, I promised the coach to attend his martial arts school for an exchange. Mom, can I go?"
Ye Qiu looked at her expectant daughter and caressed her head, "Go ahead, it’s just as well with the unrest at home; getting out for some air isn’t bad."
Little did she know, her future son-in-law was in that martial arts school waiting to meet Ye Shu.
