Chapter 996: Chapter 663: The Truth (Second Update)

"As long as Xiwen marries over there, he has no children. If he were to accidentally...At that time, the entire Li Family would be ours." What appeared before everyone were a man and a woman, and coincidentally, they were acquaintances.

Seeing the people on the screen, Ye Jianfeng and Gao Hongqin’s faces instantly turned snow white.

What’s going on here?

Unfortunately, no matter how shocked or whatever they felt, the footage continued.

"That’s true, but who knows what the future holds? Li’s president is still young. If Xiwen marries him, she should be able to get pregnant soon." Don’t forget that the president is a few years younger than him, and having children shouldn’t be a problem.

The woman curled her lips, "But accidents, nobody can predict when they will happen." As she said this, the corners of the woman’s mouth took on a sinister curve. "Moreover, if that man surnamed Li really could have children, he would have had them by now. Why would it be Xiwen’s turn? I think he’ll die childless in this lifetime." A man destined to have no descendants, how could he possibly have a son?

"But since that girl Xiwen is marrying over, she might as well help him through his last days. In this way, you could say he’s actually making a profit."

The venomous words caused an uproar among everyone present. It was unthinkable that Gao Hongqin, known for her gentle and demure exterior, could be more sinister than even Ye Jianfeng. Indeed, when women become fearsome, they are truly terrifying.

Her words seemed to imply that she was planning to do something to her business partner after marrying off her daughter? Such a scheme was truly malicious. For the sake of profit, few people would go that far.

For a while, those who were in cooperation with the Ye Family, especially those closely associated, felt uneasy, worrying whether that woman might have some designs on them too?

The very thought sent shivers down their spines.

Now, the reputation of the Ye Family had basically been completely ruined.

Standing next to Ye Jianfeng and listening to the conversation above, which was more treacherous than the last, Li’s president trembled in anger, "I can’t believe you would entertain such thoughts. It looks like our cooperation today should no longer continue."

He snorted coldly, "Ye Jianfeng, let me tell you, to covet my Li Family’s wealth with just your daughter is far from enough." Women, huh, I can have as many as I want. As long as I have money, there are plenty who’ll cling to my coattails and not let go.

What enraged Li’s president even more was that these people were saying he had no son to carry on his lineage. Weren’t they implying he couldn’t produce a son?

This was intolerable!

The entire S City knew that being childless was the greatest pain in Li’s president’s heart.

"No, no, President Li, listen to me, please don’t misunderstand, I really didn’t mean it..." Sweating profusely, with these matters exposed, even Ye Jianfeng himself was baffled, not understanding how their private conversation at home could be leaked and broadcast here.

Unfortunately, all explanations were useless in the face of evidence.

Gong Yu approached Mu Lin, "Sis, isn’t that the Ye Family? How did you manage to get their stuff?" That was incredibly cunning.

These videos were supposed to be highly confidential.

Ye Xiwen also seemed curious.

There, that was indeed the Ye Family’s living room, and the conversation between Ye Xirou and Gao Hongqin previously too seemed to have taken place at the Ye Family. Just how did her sister manage to obtain it?

Hearing Gong Yu’s question, Mu Lin gently lifted the corners of her lips, "Actually, we should really thank that mother and daughter. Without their foolishness, how could my plans proceed so smoothly?"

"What do you mean?" Not quite understanding.

Mu Lin: "What I mean is, if they hadn’t installed cameras in their home and that office, how could Three Ball have hacked into their computers so easily and acquired so many interesting things?" They might as well have left them for us to use. I should really thank them properly.

Hearing this, Ye Xiwen let out a cold laugh, "It’s their own doing; both are alike, with strong desires to control. But those cameras at home, they were probably meant to monitor me."

Otherwise, why install cameras at home?

However, Mu Lin slowly shook her head, "I think it wasn’t to monitor you, but rather to watch your mother."

"According to the investigation and the videos sent over by Sanqiu, this camera has been installed for quite a few years, it was there even before your mother left, even in the room that your mother and father once shared, there was one as well."

Gao Hongqin’s hatred for Ye Xiwen’s mother must have been more than just a little bit.

Even though she was the mistress.

"So," rage began to flicker in Ye Xiwen’s eyes, "he had been involved with this woman for years before my mother left, even before they were married?" It was unbearable!

Her knuckles nearly turned white, Ye Xiwen couldn’t believe it.

"That’s right," Ji Shubai’s voice rose, "For the sake of the family behind your mother and everything else, according to the investigation material we received these past two days, the Ye Corporation was just a small startup, while the Ning Family was already the leading enterprise in S City at that time." Although they had since expanded all their business overseas, especially after the old patriarch passed away, the Ning Family members all settled abroad, returning home only once a year during Qingming Festival to visit the Ning patriarch and matriarch, and later on, Ye Xiwen’s mother as well. If it weren’t for that, the Ye Family would never dare be so presumptuous.

It’s not for nothing they say ’the mountains are high and the emperor is far away.’

Ji Shubai continued, "At that time, your father put in a lot of effort to pursue your mother; otherwise, an excellent person like you wouldn’t have been deceived and eventually went against your grandfather’s wishes to marry Ye Jianfeng." Sadly, the marriage lasted only a bit over four years before Ye’s mother passed away.

The old Ning patriarch used to dote on Ye Xiwen’s mother the most, and it must have been after much resistance that he allowed his precious daughter to marry a man with nothing to his name.

It was also for Ye’s mother that the Ning Family went so far as to help Ye Jianfeng, to grow the Ye Corporation and make it what it is today, all for the sake of allowing their beloved daughter to live a happy life.

Unfortunately, the old patriarch never imagined that his treasured daughter would die so mysteriously, and his granddaughter would be humiliated to the point of being unable to return home; whereas Ye Jianfeng, his mistress, and the children he had with the mistress, lived the high life.

"So, what you’re saying is, my mom didn’t die from an illness?" If she didn’t die from an illness, then it must have something to do with that woman.

In the moment Ji Shubai nodded, Ye Xiwen almost charged out to settle the score with that woman and her so-called father, but was unfortunately stopped by Ji Shubai.

"Why are you stopping me? I want to avenge my mom!" She could let go of anything else, she could disregard everything else, but not this.

Standing up, Mu Lin walked over to Ye Xiwen, placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder, and said, "If you want revenge, then wait until this spectacle is over. After that, we won’t stop you."

Ye Xiwen came to a halt and looked at Mu Lin, "Okay." She waited, waited for these people to embarrass themselves, waited for them to expose their true natures to everyone, hoping they’d never be able to rise again.

A small projector seemed to release all grievances, playing all that nearly brought Ye Xiwen to the point of collapse.

More than twenty years ago, soon after Ye Xiwen’s mother gave birth to her, her health had always not been quite right. The Ning Family originally wanted to take her abroad for recuperation, but she disagreed, and then she quietly passed away when Ye Xiwen was just four years old. Since then, the Ning Family had been dead set against having any association with the Ye Family.

And the cause of Ye Xiwen’s mother’s death back then was weakness, resulting in a fatal heart palpitation.

Heart palpitations, in other words, death by shock; Mu Lin had investigated all of Ye Xiwen’s mother’s sealed medical records. Her health had gradually been improving; if it was already improving, how could heart palpitations occur, especially a week after her health check came back normal and she was in stable condition?

And on that day, a person who should not have been there showed up at the Ye Family home, which was everything currently playing before them. Ye Xiwen’s entire body was trembling as Ji Shubai held her quietly in his embrace.

The whole truth was laid out in front of them, and although it was hard to accept, there was nothing they could do about it.

Gong Yu was already crying a mess by the side, being comforted in the arms of opportunistic Jing, who would probably get a beating once she sobered up.

"Ye Xiwen, did you do this?" Just when the moment seemed rather ’warm,’ a voice filled with anger questioned from beside Mu Lin and the others. They instinctively looked over and saw that the Ye Family trio, who had been at a distance, were now approaching them, their faces full of questioning and rage.

Unfortunately, none of the few people present paid them any attention and went about their business.

Nan Minhao gave Mu Lin a thumbs up.

Sister-in-law, you’re even darker than Jing; from now on, who would dare to offend you! Anyway, he certainly didn’t have the guts anymore.

Wiping away her tears, Ye Xiwen turned around from Ji Shubai’s embrace, her eyes red, "I don’t know what you’re talking about?" This matter was indeed unrelated to her, but Ye Xiwen was very touched by everything Mu Lin and the others had done for her.

"You wouldn’t know?" the voice was shrill, Ye Xirou was almost going crazy, "If not for you, how could these things appear here? You must give me an explanation today!"
