Chapter 147: Untitled
Why did everyone ask this? What was her motive?
Old Master Ye asked this and so did Yun Ruoxi. They had thought of what her motive was before asking her and waiting for her to reply so that they could rebut her. After that, they could ridicule and deride her as they wished. Was this meaningful?
Usually, in campy dramas, when a third party was involved in the relationship of others and the wife went to confront the mistress, what would the mistress do?
Number one, act as if she was very pathetic to gain the empathy of others. She would promise to leave the man without demur. This was the feminine type. Number two, she would be very arrogant and claimed that she was the mistress without restraint. She would put her hands on her hips, as if telling the wife that there was nothing the wife could do to her. Her momentum would be very strong, signaling the wife to go away since the man belonged to her. This was the doughty type.
Cheng Anya had also seen number three. The wife would say a lot of things, but the mistress would act like she was deaf and keep quiet, and she would slam the door once the wife was done with venting out her frustration. This was the upgraded version of the doughty type.
What should Cheng Anya do?
If she could choose, she would choose number three. Out of ten sentences that a person spoke, nine of them would be nonsense. Cheng Anya’s eardrum had already suffered a lot; she was extremely reluctant to listen to Yun Ruoxi’s hysteria.
Cheng Anya looked at her poor broken legs. It was a very difficult task to invite Yun Ruoxi out in such a state.
Cheng Anya was born to rebel. Ever since her mom passed away, Daddy Cheng had married someone else who brought along a daughter. Both the mom and daughter were not kind. On the first day, they barely managed to live together peacefully.
On the second day, Cheng Anya’s stepmother showed her true colors. She demanded Cheng Anya to wake up and cook for her. Cheng Anya calmly looked at her and went into the kitchen to cook two portions. After Cheng Anya was done eating, she packed the other portion and brought it to Daddy Cheng, who was working.
The mother and daughter were so angry that stamped in rage.
Gao Mei could not bear it any longer and hit Cheng Anya. It was the first time Cheng Anya got beaten by someone, but she was very calm. Firstly, she was a filial daughter. Their family was already leading a difficult life; she did not want to trouble her dad with such a small matter. Secondly, she was very young at that time and she understood that she would not win against Gao Mei if she fought back.
Gao Mei thought that she was very easy to bully and would be obedient once she was beaten.
Who knew that Daddy Cheng would help out at his friend’s place at night. While Lin Li was sleeping like a dead pig, Cheng Anya took advantage of it and tied her up with a blanket and beat her up. Once Cheng Anya’s hands were painful, she used a wooden stick to hit Lin Li until her face was swollen. Cheng Anya was smart enough to avoid hitting the important areas such as the brain. She hit Lin Li on her back, legs, and butt.
She was afraid that Lin Li might get a concussion if she was hit in the head, and would have to waste her family’s money to go to the hospital. Therefore, Cheng Anya chose the areas where nothing would happen even if she hit very hard. She beat Lin Li very ruthlessly, and Lin Li’s cry woke Gao Mei up.
Cheng Anya immediately threw away the walking stick and crawled onto her bed. She told Gao Mei that she would hit Lin Li ten times for every time Gao Mei hit her. Cheng Anya then covered herself in a blanket and slept until the next morning.
Ever since then, Lin Li would make a detour whenever she saw Cheng Anya. Other than being wicked-tongue, Gao Mei dared not hit Cheng Anya anymore. It could be seen that Cheng Anya’s frightening methods and rebellious level were very intrepid. Nobody could bully her.
Therefore, Cheng Anya leaned back calmly.
“My motive?” She paused and smiled as if there was something serious. “After all, Third Young Master Ye is considered as City A’s top bachelor on the eligible bachelor golden chart. He is handsome and comes from a wealthy family. Everyone knows that I am greedy and prurient. It just so happens that Third Young Master Ye fits the criteria.”
Yun Ruoxi widened her eyes in disbelief. How could Cheng Anya be so honest and arrogant?
“You’re shameless!” Yun Ruoxi was indeed a lady from an eminent family. Her mouth trembled for a while before she could scold Cheng Anya shameless. She was so angry that her whole body was trembling. The feeling of someone snatching away her precious treasure was as if she had eaten a mosquito. She felt very uncomfortable.
If there was only Cheng Anya, Yun Ruoxi was confident of winning and Ye Chen would ultimately belong to her. However, Yun Ruoxi found out that Cheng Anya had a seven-year-old son with Ye Chen.
Yun Ruoxi had lost given this point!
She had utterly failed.
Yesterday, Yun Ruoxi drove to Ye Chen’s villa and she reached earlier than Ye Chen. She was shocked to find out that the lights were turned on in the villa. Ye Chen’s house was always dark, unless he was at home.
He was very particular about his privacy and did not allow anyone to step into his house, other than the cleaner who would go every week.
Yun Ruoxi was guessing who went into his house.
But there was no way she would have guessed that she would see a child come out of the house while holding on to two bags of trash. Yun Ruoxi was so shocked that she thought she was dreaming. If not, why would she see a child that looked like Ye Chen?
Ye Chen happened to come back and the child called him daddy, making Yun Ruoxi on the verge of breaking down. The father and son had a very good relationship as they were talking and laughing. It was the first time she saw Ye Chen smile so brightly. His eyes were filled with endless doting.
Yun Ruoxi sped home and crazily smashed everything she could to vent her frustration.
She cried the whole night, making the Yun family scared and not knowing what to do. She asked someone to investigate the child in the middle of the night and the information was sent to her in the morning. He was Cheng Anya’s child. She found out that Ye Chen had been going to work late and ending work early because he had to fetch his son to and fro school. Ye Chen also sent his son to the hospital and they would visit Cheng Anya together.
This information was like a loud slap on Yun Ruoxi’s face. Jealousy, embarrassment, hatred, and other negative emotions gushed out and drowned her.
She was only short of losing her mind and shooting Cheng Anya and Ning Ning with a gun.
After a night of going insane, Yun Ruoxi’s emotion became more stable.
Yun Ruoxi was a very smart girl. She knew that what she had to do now was to act like she did not know anything. Old Master Yun and Old Master Ye had already met and discussed their wedding and Ye Chen did not mention anything. Ye Chen did not deny or admit, so Yun Ruoxi thought that he would accept this marriage.
After all, he had said before that he would marry her if he was to get married.
She was the most suitable woman for Ye Chen. Their families were well-matched and one was a talented guy and the other a beautiful lady. They were a match made in heaven.
But an incident cropped up and was harmful to this marriage. She would not be so irrational. Once they got married and her status was confirmed, she would be in a better position. It would be much easier for her to deal with the mother and son pair.
Nevertheless, Yun Ruoxi just could not stomach an insult like that. She really wanted to know what had happened, so she went to look for Cheng Anya in the morning.
“Shameless?” Cheng Anya smiled without being angry. Compared to Yun Ruoxi’s exasperation, Cheng Anya seemed more carefree. “Miss Yun has already accused me of being a mistress and will not believe me no matter what I say. I might just as well say what you think of me in your mind. Isn’t that good? We are all adults. There is no point in beating around the bush.”
Xiaotian had said before that Cheng Anya looked similar to Yun Ruoxi, but Cheng Anya did not care. However, Cheng Anya somehow thought of Xiaotian’s words and she looked at Yun Ruoxi carefully. The two of them really did look similar.
Cheng Anya’s heart tightened and she felt uncomfortable. She really hated such confusing situations, but she looked very calm.
Yun Ruoxi stifled and raised her noble head arrogantly. She said coldly, “Miss Cheng, you can’t win against me in fights!”
“Fight?” Cheng Anya smiled and turned her head to one side, acting as if she was deep in thought. After a while, she said, “What do you mean by fight? It is a fight only when one meets a worthy opponent. There is no point in fighting if the gap between our strength is too huge.”
‘I guess you are sensible enough!’
Yun Ruoxi thought to herself. She thought that Cheng Anya would shrink back from difficulties. After all, Cheng Anya had said that there was a huge gap between their strength. No matter which aspect they were talking about, Yun Ruoxi would definitely have the upper hand. How would someone from a normal family be able to provoke the Yun Enterprise?
“Since you know that there is a huge gap between our strength, then you should leave City A with your son!” Yun Ruoxi acted as if she was very generous. She seemed like she was superior and had a bestowing pose. She said arrogantly, “As long as you leave, I can forgive you!”
Cheng Anya covered her mouth and laughed, but her radiant eyes showed a stream of a cold sneer. ‘Yun Ruoxi, your ego index is out of limits.’”Forgive? Miss Yun, allow me to ask you something. What kind of position are you in to forgive me? You are not Ye Chen’s wife, and although it is rumored that you are his fiancée, you are not officially engaged. Nowadays, the divorce rate is getting higher and higher. Even if you get married, there can still be a mistress interfering in your relationship. You are only one out of his many girlfriends, yet you are putting yourself in the position of his wife. It seems a little ridiculous.”
“You…” Yun Ruoxi was so angry that she was trembling and her beautiful face was totally distorted. She looked at Cheng Anya with hatred. “You are only coveting Ye Chen’s money. What right do you have to talk to me like this?”
“Therefore, we don’t have the right to talk to each other, am I wrong?” Cheng Anya smiled faintly. Who could against her when it came to quarreling? Cheng Anya was famous for being the ace in fights. “What’s more, can you figure out the situation? You are the one who came to talk to me, not the other way round. In terms of rights, I have more rights than you. I am the mother of Ye Chen’s son. What do you think?”
“You…” Yun Ruoxi was so angered by Cheng Anya that she almost fainted. Yun Ruoxi’s body was trembling as she pointed at Cheng Anya, but she could not utter a single word. She kept panting and her face was as red as a tomato due to her frustration.
Yun Ruoxi had never met such an unreasonable opponent.
Yun Ruoxi looked feminine, but she was more ruthless than anyone when needed to.
For the past few years, Ye Chen had never been with any women for a long time. It was not because he had not met someone that he liked. The so-called liking was Ye Chen liking the woman’s temper and the fresh feeling it gave him. Or maybe, some aspects of the woman were similar to the girl in Ye Chen’s memory, causing him to linger on without wanting to leave.
Once Ye Chen was interested in a woman for more than two weeks, Yun Ruoxi would take action. There was once when Yun Ruoxi forced a woman until that person was disfigured and secretly left City A. There was another that was so afraid of Yun Ruoxi that she fell down the stairs and became half paralyzed.
On one hand, Yun Ruoxi accompanied Ye Chen, staying by his side and acting like she was gentle and intellectual. On the other hand, she was monitoring every woman that was by Ye Chen’s side. Once there was someone who posed a danger to her, she would eradicate them with ruthless means. After all, Yun Ruoxi was an only child and she was trained to be the successor. Therefore, she was not as innocent as she looked.
This kind of action was called jealousy.
A more primitive way of saying it would be how a wild animal that had absolute aggressiveness and destructiveness toward any creatures pried into their other half.
Cheng Anya was the doughtiest opponent that she had met.
Cheng Anya was not afraid of her ruthlessness or the power behind her back. Cheng Anya could even calmly say a series of words that made Yun Ruoxi mad. Yun Ruoxi had been used to getting whatever she wanted for her whole life and was unable to stomach such an insult.
“Miss Yun!” As Yun Ruoxi was about to explode in rage, Cheng Anya said calmly, “Rather than talking to me, you should talk to Ye Chen. After all, he is the key to this incident, right?”
The source of this incident was Ye Chen. Yun Ruoxi was really unclear about the situation!
“I will look for Ye Chen. You’d better not be too complacent. Even if you have given birth to his son, you will not be able to marry into the Ye family,” Yun Ruoxi calmed down and arrogantly said. She would not lose given that she had the support of the elderly from the two families.
Ye Chen must have known about Old Master Ye discussing the wedding with her dad. As he did not deny, was he not agreeing to this marriage already?
Yun Ruoxi would not lose!
“I don’t care!” Cheng Anya smiled coldly. Third Young Master Ye had a perverted personality and was extremely scheming. Old Master Ye was an old tyrant and Ye Yutang was a big walking thrash. In addition, Ye Yutong was a cute young boy. This family had an overabundance of Yang and was lacking Yin. It would be similar to going to jail if one was to marry into this family. Only an idiot whose head had been clamped by the door would be willing to marry into the family.
Cheng Anya finally knew why Ye Chen already had Yun Ruoxi, yet he was still philandering. If Cheng Anya had guessed correctly, it had to do with the Ye family that Yun Ruoxi kept talking about.
Ye Chen hated the Ye family and wanted to destroy MBS. However, Yun Ruoxi was proud of the Ye family and she had offended Ye Chen’s taboo.
No wonder.
Yun Ruoxi should know about Ye Chen’s taboo since she had been with him for six years. But it might have been due to the upper-class society’s idea that was ingrained in her since young that caused her to talk about it unknowingly.
Tsk, she was really not observant!
‘Actually, Miss Yun, you do not love Ye Chen enough. If you love him enough, what have you been doing for the past six years?’
It was not enough to simply accompany someone quietly if you loved them.
Anyone could accompany them; it did not have to be you!
“Miss Cheng, you are so fake!” Yun Ruoxi said coldly. “As you have mentioned, the gap between our strength is too big. You cannot win against me. Now, you are saying that you do not care. You are contradicting yourself!”
Cheng Anya smiled. “One should not be too sentimental. Did I say that my strength was not comparable to yours? I’m afraid that even a hundred Yun Enterprise cannot win against my son.”
Her son could destroy ten Yun Enterprise within an hour. Who could be more powerful than him?
“Moreover, Yun Ruoxi, are you sure Ye Chen cares about the power behind your back?”
The Ye Chen that Cheng Anya knew was not someone who would betray his own marriage for the sake of power. Even if he wanted to marry Yun Ruoxi, it was not because he wanted her family’s properties or influence. It would only be an insult to think of Third Young Master Ye in such a way!
Yun Ruoxi smiled confidently. “Miss Cheng, do you think you can ask for sky-high prices just because you have a son? You are too naïve! Anyone can give birth to a son. It did not have to be you!”
Cheng Anya looked slightly unhappy. It was a problem to talk about her son, but she disliked other people talking about her son.
Especially under such a situation.
“You are saying one thing and meaning another. I don’t believe that you don’t care. If not, why did you give birth to his son?” Yun Ruoxi sneered coldly.
Cheng Anya’s face turned cold. “What has me giving birth to my son got to do with you? We can talk but do not bring my son into the conversation. At least, I’m better than you. You can’t give birth to one even after six years!”
Yun Ruoxi’s face turned black!
Cheng Anya’s words were ruthless and cruel, piercing Yun Ruoxi’s heart.
