Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ye Tianhao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He had spent almost all his money on the development of the company. Now, not to mention that he did not have spare cash to fund He He’s relatives, even if he did, he would not do it! Previously, he was giving away Ye Yao’s money and it didn’t matter. However, he would definitely not give away money that he had worked so hard to earn! Furthermore, the loan terms for the houses and cars were easily five, ten, or twenty years. It was unrealistic for him to be forking out hundreds of thousands of yuan every month to repay the mortgage for unrelated people!

Now, Ye Tianhao and He He argued at home every day. He He’s relatives were reliant on He He and kept going to her for money. He He did not have any money, so she could only go to Ye Tianhao. However, Ye Tianhao did not have money and was also unwilling to squeeze out the money. It could be said that the Ye family was in a mess now.

He Wenwen looked at Ye Yao angrily. She was so angry that one could almost see smoke rising from her head. “Ye Yao, you’re too shameless!”

“Me? Shameless?” Ye Yao laughed. “Let me tell you what it means to be shameless. I am the one who provided everything you have now. Yet you have such a bad attitude towards me. This is what I call shameless!”

Ye Sui shouted, “Ye Yao, I’m telling you, you’d better hand over your bank card.

Otherwise, I won’t let you have it easy! Your father won’t have it easy either! Aren’t you afraid that others will say that you’re unfilial?”

Ye Yao replied solemnly, “I don’t care if I’m deemed filial or otherwise. Besides, I can wait for Ye Tianhao to go bankrupt and need a child to support him. I’ll get him to sue me in court. At that point, I’ll fulfill my support obligation according to the court’s judgment. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely fulfill any obligation that I’m under.” The support obligations accorded by the court were only to ensure a basic lifestyle. A few thousand yuan a month was the maximum. Was this amount of money enough for Ye Tianhao? It probably wasn’t even enough for his daily expenses!

Ye Yao couldn’t be bothered with Ye Sui and He Wenwen. The two of them had already been driven crazy by money. She said to Xiang Jingtian, who was standing by the side, “We’re even. Don’t bother watching. Please leave.”

Xiang Jingtian was not a busybody to begin with. He was standing here because he was afraid that Ye Sui and He Wenwen would attack Ye Yao again. Since he had already given aid, he’d naturally be there till aid was no longer needed.

Ye Yao was about to leave when Ye Sui and He Wenwen looked at each other. He Wenwen suddenly sat on the ground and cried. “Aiyo, everyone, come and take a look. This Ye Yao is a heartless ingrate. She took our money and won’t return it to us! Is there any justice in this world?!”

Ye Sui chimed in and threatened Ye Yao, “Ye Yao, if you don’t give me the money in that bank card, I’ll come to Imperial Capital University every day to cause trouble. I don’t mind fighting you to the death. Do you believe that I can ensure you have no peace?!”

Ye Yao was speechless for a moment. Needless to say, it was not beyond Ye Sui to do such a shameless thing.

On Ye Yao’s side, there were already many people gathering around to watch. After hearing Ye Sui and He Wenwen’s loud wailing, even more people were coming. They were all pointing at Ye Yao, Ye Sui, and He Wenwen.

Ye Yao blinked and then chuckled. “Alright, actually, I’m quite annoyed by your fuss, so I’ve decided to settle it once and for all.

He Wenwen and Ye Sui smiled.

Ye Sui said disdainfully, “It should have been so from the onset. Hurry up and hand over the money!”

Ye Yao laughed. “I’m afraid you’ve misunderstood what I meant about settling this once and for all, right? What I mean is that I’ll be taking back your house, car, and other assets. You have nothing left, so there’s no more trouble.” Ye Sui and He Wenwen froze.

He Wenwen flew into a rage. “What do you mean?! That house and car belong to our family. What right do you have to take them back?!”

Ye Yao replied calmly, “You may not be cultured enough. The house and car supposedly owned by your family were bought with my money. The monthly loan was also deducted from my bank card. Moreover, when you made payment, it was done without my signature. If I were to go to court to sue you for embezzling my private property, my bank transactions will be the best proof. The house and car that you have will be forcibly confiscated.”

He Wenwen jumped up. “How dare you!”

“Let’s see if I dare.” Ye Yao smiled and said, “I think the two of you should go home quickly and tell your families this news, so that there will be no surprises when you receive my lawyer’s letter. Also, let me give you a friendly reminder. You should find a place to stay as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the house is taken back, you won’t have a place to stay. How pitiful..”
