Chapter 266: Violent Rage
As Ye Cheng poured a gla.s.s of wine for himself, he instructed Chen Chen, “Arrange a psychic evaluation for Ye Xin. After that, arrange for a press conference. At that time, I’ll apologize to the public and the Mu family. This matter must be resolved no matter what.”
Ye Cheng continued to say, “When the time comes, prepare a generous gift for me. I’ll go to the hospital and apologize to the Mu family until they forgive me. When everything has calmed down, I’ll send Ye Xin abroad. If she continues staying in the country, she’ll bring about another disaster sooner or later…”
“Don’t let her find out about the paternity test before she leaves the country,” Ye Cheng said tiredly. Victory and defeat depended on this one move; he did not want any more trouble.
Chen Chen replied, “Understood. However, how are we going to explain this matter to Master and Madam?”
Ye Cheng frowned but did not say anything.
Chen Chen knew Ye Cheng rarely spoke at home due to his family members’ personalities.
…
Unsurprisingly, when Gao Wen learned of the matter, she exploded immediately like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She leaped up and slapped Ye Cheng’s face immediately.
Ye Cheng’s head tilted to the side from the force of the slap, and his ear was running.
“Ye Cheng, are you still human? You’re talking about your sister! She’s your biological sister! You want her to go for a psychiatric evaluation? You want her to pretend to have mental problems? Just because you’re not capable of saving her, you want her to pretend to be mentally ill? Ye Cheng! You’re really amazing; you can even think of such an idea!” Gao Wen roared like an angry lion as she paced back and forth.
On the other hand, Ye He sat at the side, too afraid to even breathe loudly.
Gao Wen continued to screech as she glared at her son, “No, you have to save Ye Xin! You have to!”
Ye He finally spoke up to smooth things over. “Ye Cheng, why don’t you think of something else? Aren’t you on good terms with the Bureau Chief? Perhaps, you can speak to him? We’ll send gifts; the price doesn’t matter!”
Ye Cheng looked at Ye He and quietly said, “The Bureau Chief and Vice Mayor Fu came up with this method.”
Ye He and Gao Wen were stunned by this revelation.
Ye Cheng continued to say, “There are two choices and two outcomes. First, we let this matter continue and let Ye Xin be. It won’t be long before this matter affects the Ye family and the Ye Group. In the end, everyone will die together. Did you see what happened to the Mu family and the Mu Group a while ago? If Mu Chen were not prepared at that time, the Mu Group wouldn’t exist now. Ye Xin is the Young Miss of the Ye family; she intentionally hurt others. Even if I hold the highest position in the Public Security Bureau, I still won’t be able to sweep this matter under the rug.”
Ye Cheng looked at his dumbstruck parents and solemnly said, “Second, we can go along with the Bureau Chief and Vice Mayor Fu’s suggestion. We send Ye Xin for a psychiatric evaluation and let her get treated. We’ll use her mental illness to avoid punishment. When everything calms down, we’ll send her abroad. You can accompany her if you want. This way, not only will we be able to protect my future, but the Ye family and the Ye Group’s future as well… So, you choose how you want to deal with this matter…”
Gao Wen said indignantly, “In the end, it still boils down to protecting your future!”
Ye Cheng nodded and did not refute her words. “That’s right. If I don’t protect the future, who’s going to take care of the Ye family? If you want to give up our positions to the members of the family’s side branch, I won’t object to it…”
“How can we do that!” Ye He objected immediately.
Ye Cheng did not speak.
Gao Wen trembled as she muttered, “No, we can’t say that Xinxin has mental problems. What’s she going to do in the future? How will she marry? At that time, who would dare to marry her? Won’t her life be ruined?”
Ye Cheng said quietly, “With her current state, is there anyone who dares to marry her now? Everyone in the city knows of her obsession with Mu Chen and the troubles she had caused Mu Chen and his wife. She’s become a joke, and everyone thinks she’s a shameless troublemaker. Tell me, do you think anyone will dare to marry her now? What kind of future does she have now?”
Gao Wen’s tears streamed down her face immediately. “You’re her brother! How can you speak of her in such a manner?”
A pained expression flitted past Ye Cheng’s face before he said, “It’s because I’m her brother that I’m saying these words.”
