Chapter 237: Chapter 232: The Two Daughters Born Illegally

"Go, go, go, I’ve never seen such parents like you—neglecting your child and framing her with some nonsensical filth. As long as I’m around, don’t even think about acknowledging Ye Qiu as your daughter," Uncle Liu said furiously.

Ye Hai and Zhong Meifen felt their faces grow hot with the mocking words of the people around them. Could it be that they were wrong? Could this old man really be wealthy? They looked at Old Man Liu with doubt and suspicion but were also furious at his words.

"Ye Qiu is our daughter. Who are you to point fingers and make accusations?" Even if the matter of Ye Qiu stealing money was still under question, it was not for this old man to criticize.

"Why can’t I speak up? Ye Qiu is the goddaughter that my wife and I have acknowledged. Who are you to her?" Uncle Liu huffed coldly.

"We are her parents," Ye Hai exclaimed with widened eyes.

Uncle Liu scoffed, "The same question again, do you have any proof?"

"I..." Ye Hai was at a loss for words and glared at Ye Qiu in anger, "Why are you still standing there? Don’t you even recognize your own parents?"

Ye Qiu didn’t say a word; like a protective parent, Uncle Liu stood in front of her and said, "You can’t win the argument, so you take it out on the child? I don’t think you’re Ye Qiu’s real parents at all. What kind of parents are you? Ye Qiu, let’s go home, and ignore these two ’strangers’."

Uncle Liu also deliberately emphasized his last few words. With the help of a group of enthusiastic uncles and aunties, he successfully kept Ye Hai and Zhong Meifen, the couple, at a distance.

"Ye Qiu, if you dare to go with this old man, never come back," Ye Hai roared at Ye Qiu’s retreating back.

Ye Qiu paused mid-step, and just when Ye Hai was feeling smug, he watched Ye Qiu leave without a sideways glance.

"Acting as if being someone’s daughter is such a big deal."

"They never cared for her, and now they rush to acknowledge her when they see their daughter making a name for herself—what kind of people are they!"

"They wrongly accused the child and drove her out of the house without a word; now they want to acknowledge her without a single apology. If I were that child, I wouldn’t recognize them either."

"Exactly, with the attitude of that couple, even if she went back, nothing good would come of it. Luckily, the girl has good academic results and is self-reliant, otherwise, this family would have ruined her for sure."

"I heard that there are some families nowadays that just wait to cash in on their daughters, marrying her off to whomever offers the largest dowry. Their family is so biased and has a preference for sons over daughters; it’s good that Ye Qiu doesn’t go back."

"Really? There are still families that do such things?"

"Indeed, there are even those who are dazzled by wealth to the point that they arrange ghost marriages for their legitimate daughters!"

"That’s horrible! I must have a serious talk with Lao Liu and the others, we must never let Ye Qiu go back."

A few of the elders discussed while looking at Ye Hai and Zhong Meifen with disdain, as if they were the kind of despicable people who would sell their daughter for glory or get blinded by money and harbor ill intentions.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Disperse, or I’ll call the police and accuse you of spreading rumors," Ye Hai shouted at the crowd, clenching his fists, his face turning an ashen shade of blue with veins bulging as if he was about to beat someone up.

"Pfft, as if we’re afraid. Bold enough to do it, but not to own up to it—parents who birth but don’t nurture, we’ve never seen anyone like you," they said. Although they dispersed, who knows where they’ll gather next to talk about Ye Family’s irresponsible parents.

"I told you we shouldn’t have brought her back," Zhong Meifen said with a gloomy face.

But at that moment, Ye Hai started thinking about something else—the question of whether Ye Qiu had really stolen money back then. If she did, so be it; he would consider he never had such a morally corrupt daughter. But if Ye Xia had lied to him, causing him to lose face like this today, then he would have to seriously reconsider his stance on Ye Xia.

"Did you or did you not falsely accuse your sister?" As soon as they got home, Ye Hai began to interrogate his eldest daughter.

"Dad, what are you talking about?" Ye Xia, dragged out of her room by Ye Hai, looked guilty and somewhat afraid.

Seeing this, Zhong Meifen got upset and confronted Ye Hai, protecting Ye Xia: "You can’t just come home and take out your anger on Xiaxia because you’re upset with Ye Qiu. That’s not fair!"

"Fair?" Ye Hai snorted coldly, "Have you ever been fair to Ye Qiu? They’re both your daughters. Look at how much living expense you give to Ye Xia each month. How many clothes does she have in her wardrobe? Did you ever buy Ye Qiu a single piece of clothing when she was at home?"

"You’re blaming me now?" Zhong Meifen said in disbelief, "Isn’t it your family that favors boys over girls? Wasn’t it you who wouldn’t let Ye Qiu be registered in the household? And now you’re turning the blame on me? Ye Hai, you say I was unfair to Ye Qiu, but have you been any better to her? I didn’t buy her clothes—have you?"

"What would a grown man like me know about buying that stuff? You’re her mother; you should have arranged these things."

"So just because I’m the mother, it’s solely my responsibility? Ye Hai, stop using these excuses to blame me."

"I’m not here to argue with you about that," Ye Hai, now furious, turned his attention back to Ye Xia, "Tell me, did you or did you not frame your sister?"

"I didn’t," Ye Xia shook her head with guilt, "Dad, why don’t you believe me? Ye Qiu took the money for my dance class to buy clothes. I haven’t falsely accused her."

"You still won’t admit it?" Ye Hai was incensed, "I already know, those clothes were bought by Old Man Liu. He’s loaded with money, and buying a few thousand yuan piece of clothing means nothing to him. Is it you who took the money to have fun with?"

Ye Xia was feeling a heart palpitation, but she knew she couldn’t admit to anything: "No, I really didn’t accuse her falsely. Who knows if she took the money to do something else?"

"You still won’t own up to it?" Ye Hai stormed into Ye Xia’s room, originally just acting impulsively, but upon entering, he was shocked to see how many clothes, bags, and shoes she had.

Being in the clothing business himself, although he never sold clothes for young girls, he still knew how to evaluate the cut and quality of garments. He could tell that his eldest daughter’s clothes weren’t cheap.

He rarely interfered with his daughters’ affairs, mostly leaving it to his wife, and he knew she felt proud and boastful about his eldest daughter and always treated her well. However, he had no idea she treated her this well—even his son, Ye Dong, wouldn’t have spent this much money, right?

"Did you buy all this for her?" Ye Hai questioned his wife, "How much do you give her for living expenses each month?"

"Five thousand," Zhong Meifen admitted frankly.

"Five thousand?" Ye Hai yelled, "You give her five thousand yuan in pocket money every month for being a student? Do you think my money grows on trees?"

Zhong Meifen was also angry: "The money isn’t just earned by you. What’s wrong with my daughter having a little more pocket money? Does she not need to socialize in college? How do you expect your daughter to make something of herself in the capital where living costs are so high without spending money?"
