Chapter 2193: Settle The Score
Ye Zhifan had divorced Sun Dongqing hurriedly and immediately cleared his name. He was afraid that Madam Li would vent her anger on him.
He was even more nervous when he received Madam Li’s call. When Madam Li’s cold and deep voice entered his ears, his heart seemed to be about to jump out of his throat at any moment. His breathing was shallow as he was afraid that Madam Li would sense his fear.
After saying that he would not interfere in Ye Ying’s matters anymore, Ye Zhifan heard Madam Li sneer. He didn’t know what she meant.
“It seems that you’re going to put righteousness before family. That’s right. No wonder you could rise so quickly. With this kind of resolve, I can tell that you can achieve great things in the future.”
How could he not hear Madam Li’s sarcasm? If Ye Ying had been obedient and listened to his arrangements, how could he bear to sever their father-daughter relations.h.i.+p?
After all, she was his own daughter and had half his blood.
He had already laid out the path for her. It would’ve been a bright path. With him escorting her, she would definitely achieve something. However, Ye Ying was a useless piece of trash. No matter how good of a path he laid out for her, she would only stray away from it.
He had spent so much effort nurturing her, but in the end, she did not acknowledge him as her father.
…..
As expected of his daughter. She was ruthless enough.
So be it. Since she didn’t acknowledge him, why should he acknowledge a stupid daughter?
He could not afford to offend the Li family. It had not been easy for him to climb to his current position. He did not want to go back to square one in just one night, let alone have everything stripped from him.
He had to give up Ye Ying, the daughter who didn’t acknowledge him!
Ye Zhifan pretended not to hear Madam Li’s sarcasm. His voice was so deep that it was trembling. “I’ve embarra.s.sed myself. She… Sigh, she’s too stubborn. I can’t persuade her either. I respect her wishes.
“She’s in his 20s, so she’s no longer young. She has to take responsibility for everything she does.”
He was telling Madam Li that Ye Ying was responsible for everything she did and it had nothing to do with anyone else.
Although Madam Li was harsh to others, she had always been magnanimous to her children. Even if her children made a huge mistake, it was still the Du family’s business. It was not up to outsiders to criticize them.
Hearing Ye Zhifan’s words, Madam Li’s expression turned even colder.
With a father like this, how good could his daughter be?!
She, Li Chenglan, had always been the one to scheme against others. Today, she was actually schemed against by a mere regiment chief and a young lady. Heh, did Ye Zhifan think that he could escape after getting a divorce and cutting ties with Ye Ying?
Madam Li, who had a dark expression on her face, quickly made another call. Then, she said in surprise, “The Discipline Office has already gone to the Southern Province? Are they going to clear the bureaucracy in the Southern Province?
“The situation is unclear? Old cla.s.smate, is there something you can’t tell me?… I’m not making things difficult for you. If you don’t tell me, can I force you to tell me?
“I’m calling you today for no other reason than to tell you to investigate a director with the surname Ye in the construction bureau in the Southern Province. I’m just mentioning it to you. Since the Discipline Office has already gone to the Southern Province, you have to investigate everything.”
Madam Li had a lot of connections and would more or less know some important officials. When she learned that the Discipline Office had gone to the Southern Province, she called her old cla.s.smate and chatted with him for a while. She agreed to have a meal with him before hanging up.
