Ye Cheng grabbed the wine bottle and drank from it directly. The wine flowed down from the corners of his mouth. After he put the wine bottle down, he wiped his mouth and said with a bitter smile, “So, she knew me very well. She knew what kind of person I am and what kind of woman I like. Step by step, she made me fall in love with her until I couldn’t extricate myself. I trusted her even more than I trusted you. In the end, I even handed the Ye family to her…”
Ye Cheng lowered his head and laughed. However, the laughter soon turned into low sobbing noises.
Chen Chen could not bear it. “Young Master Cheng, don’t be sad. You didn’t do it on purpose. It’s just that that woman is too vicious!”
Ye Cheng wiped his face. Then, he grabbed Chen Chen’s arm and looked at Chen Chen with bloodshot eyes. “Chen Chen, why did I kill a young woman who had nothing to do with me? I know very well how unreasonable Ye Xin was so why did I help her? Why did I kill an innocent person? Chen Chen, this is my retribution, right? Do you think it’s my retribution?”
Chen Chen was at a loss for words. He did not know how to console Ye Cheng. After all, over the years, Yang Li was not the only person they had gotten rid of. If he said anything now, it was no different from adding salt to injury. At this time, he did not think Ye Cheng could endure another blow.
After a while, Chen Chen said, “Young Master Chen, you have to pull yourself together. We still have a chance to start over. Don’t we still have Miss Yin?”
Ye Cheng looked at Chen Chen and patted Chen Chen’s arm as he said, “Fool. How can you be so naive? We still have Miss Yin? So many days have passed, have you seen any Miss Yin or Miss Guan? Are there any calls?”
“News about the Ye Group and Ye family has spread. Do you think the Yin family is as foolish as you? Do you think they know how to repay kindness and use their money to help me? Chen Chen, you’re really naive.”
Then, Ye Cheng held on to Chen Chen’s hand and began to sob again.
Chen Chen’s heart was filled with bitterness. It was not only the Yin family, but even the connections with the police that Ye Cheng had worked so hard to cultivate and maintain over the years were useless. No one spoke out for Ye Cheng when Ye Cheng was fired from his official position.
When one’s self-interest was on the line, who would step forward to speak for another person?
However, it had to be said that it was not entirely because the Yin family wanted to sever ties with the Ye family and was afraid that they would be implicated that they did not step forward to extend a helping hand. It was also because there was a huge problem in the Yin family.
First, the conditions of the two young masters of the Yin family had worsened again. Director Wang no longer spoke about the transplants. She only asked them to visit the two people, who were on the verge of death, more often.
Qin Shuang, Kang Ru, and Guan Ning cried their hearts out, wishing they could die for their grandson or sons.
The men of the Yin family were not in a much better state. What made them most uneasy was that the Yin family businesses were facing problems everywhere. They had a vague feeling that someone was behind this. Their businesses were targeted, and they suffered heavy losses over and over again.
Yin Bin and Yin Yang were in a terrible mood.
On the other hand, Old Master Yin’s expression was perpetually gloomy as he spoke less and less. He suspected that the recent troubles were Cheng Yi’s doing. However, how did Cheng Yi have such an ability? In the end, he concluded that Cheng Yi must have Jiang Jin’s help. Apart from Jiang Jin, there was no one who was so bold as to do such a thing.
In the past, Old Master Yin had respected Jiang Jin and thought she was a hero among women. He was naturally familiar with her methods. It was just that he did not expect her hands to be so long that they could reach him as well.
