Chapter 333: Chapter 333: Bandit Ye Chuyi

Wen Xingye’s rage surged, his face swollen into the color of a pig’s liver, his chest heaving violently.

It seemed like he was about to be sent to his death by Ye Chuyi’s anger.

Ye Chuyi paid no attention to his furious demeanor. She spread out a blanket, swept all the valuable watches and bags from the table into the blanket with a swoosh, and then packed them up.

Wen Xingye stepped forward to snatch them away, "What are you doing? These are all mine!"

Ye Chuyi stepped hard on his foot, unapologetically, listening to his cry of pain, she said innocently, "Oops, sorry, I accidentally stepped on you. You say I’m packing up my mother’s things, why did you even come over? You just got stepped on for nothing—what a loss for you!"

Wen Xingye, enraged, moved to slap Ye Chuyi.

But Ye Jinyu immediately stood up, blocking in front of Ye Chuyi, "Wen Xingye, dare to lay a finger on my daughter and see what happens! If Xiaoyi gets hurt, I’ll make sure you pay back tenfold!"

Wen Xingye’s raised hand froze in mid-air.

He glared at the big bundle of items, "Those are mine, she can’t take them!"

"Everything in this house, whatever my daughter likes, she can take," Ye Jinyu declared.

Wen Xingye was even angrier. He stared fiercely at Ye Chuyi, "Are you a robber? Those watches are all men’s models, so are the bags. You can’t wear them or carry them, they’re useless to you!"

"What I do with them is none of your concern."

Ye Chuyi eyed his wrist, "You seem to be wearing a Rolex. I quite like it, take it off."

As she spoke, she reached out her hand, "Hand it over."

Wen Xingye immediately covered his Rolex Gold Watch, "Don’t go too far!"

"I haven’t even told you to strip and return the clothes on your back to my mother, which already shows mercy. Don’t make me say it twice, or I’ll call the bodyguards in, and they won’t be as nice as I am."

Wen Xingye’s expression changed, and he immediately looked outside, "You brought bodyguards again?"

He had a lingering fear of Ye Chuyi’s four tall and burly bodyguards; the kick from the bodyguard last night was still hurting him.

"Yeah, they’re all outside, standing guard. If you don’t take off that watch, you’ll never get out of this villa in your lifetime."

Wen Xingye’s face was unsightly. After glaring at Ye Chuyi for a while, he finally, and unwillingly, took off the watch and threw it over.

He watched as Ye Chuyi caught the watch and casually tossed it into the blanket. His heart bled.

Those were his carefully collected limited edition watches that he had intended to pack up and take away today, but Ye Chuyi had unexpectedly outmaneuvered him.

Each of those watches could sell for hundred of thousands or even millions, and he was currently struggling financially. Ye Jinyu’s dowry had been squandered, and selling the watches was his last resort.

But now, this last resort was also blocked by Ye Chuyi.

He was used to living a life of luxury, how could he resign himself to poverty again?

Now, it seemed, there was only one option left.

He squeezed out a tear and slowly knelt before Ye Jinyu, "Jinyu, I admit, I was foolish and made a huge mistake. But I never thought of divorcing you; you’re the only one in my heart. I swear, I’ll never contact that woman again. I’ll only be with you. Please forgive me, give me a chance to make amends."

Ye Jinyu looked at him, letting out a bitter smile, "You’re admitting it now? Weren’t you denying everything just a minute ago?"

"Jinyu, I denied it because I didn’t want to break your heart. I care about you too much, I don’t want to lose you. I was so scared, so I made up poor excuses to deceive you."

Ye Jinyu sat down on the sofa, shattered, "Wen Xingye, you’ve deceived me so terribly! For you, I broke with my family, fell out with my dearly loved second brother. I handed all my dowry to you to manage. How much I trusted you!"

Wen Xingye knelt and hugged her legs, "I was wrong, truly wrong. Jinyu, I will change, please don’t divorce me. Look, our daughter has come back too. It’s time for a family reunion. How unfair would it be for Chuyi if we divorced now? She hasn’t been raised by us from childhood, we should make it up to her, give her a complete and loving home!"

Taking advantage of Ye Jinyu’s distraction, Ye Chuyi kicked Wen Xingye, "Stop using me to pressure my mom. I’m an adult, I don’t need your pretense of a home; I have my mom, that’s enough. Just stay wherever it’s cool."

She thought Wen Xingye would explode with rage as before, but surprisingly, after being kicked, he didn’t get angry and even said with a face full of guilt, "Xiaoyi, I’m sorry, it’s all Dad’s fault. Dad was not there to accompany your mom during childbirth, and you were taken away by a maid."

"All these years, your life must have been very hard, and I am sorry for the hardships you’ve faced. It’s normal for you to hate me, Dad won’t blame you."
