Chapter 227: Chapter 227

No matter why, with Shen Bin’s words and the younger daughter’s prior notice, Bai Xue didn’t show her eldest daughter any attitude. However, she still expressed her concern by asking a few questions before letting her in. Once the door was closed, Bai Xue’s face turned gloomy.

"You say not to let me interfere with you, fine, I won’t, but look at the trouble you’ve caused now? How will people view you after such things spread? What kind of family would marry you? This matter might not have succeeded, but do others think so? You’re the flesh from my body, how can I not care about you?" Bai Xue sat down with a crying face, "From today on, don’t throw any tantrums, move back home immediately. You’ve been out for more than a year, and that’s enough. Your dad let you fool around, see what messes you’ve created? First, you fainted and alarmed everyone in the compound, and now you almost got assaulted, is there ever a day of peace?"

The words were not pleasant, but they were filled with concern.

Ye Ling was shocked by her mother’s actions, unable to figure out what was really going on, but too lazy to act with her. Ye Ling went straight to the East Room, looked at the untouched bed, and lay down, ignoring the angry voice coming from the living room.

The events of the day had indeed exhausted Ye Ling. She fell into a deep sleep shortly after lying down. In the living room, Bai Xue quietly opened the door of the East Room, saw Ye Ling sleeping, closed the door softly, and led her younger daughter to the West Room, where she smiled.

"This is great, with this money, our life will be better, and your uncle’s fine can be paid. It really was right, we should treat her well for bringing such a fortune." Bai Xue took out a biscuit tin, the kind imported from abroad, pried open the lid, and there was a stack of money inside, all hundred-yuan notes, still brand new.

Ye Qian, seeing this money, was happy but looked worried, "Mom, is this really okay? We don’t pursue it and we get this much money? But you’ve seen the situation, even dad knows. If our family just lets it go, what will they say? Dad won’t agree once he finds out."

"Silly child, if something happened your dad wouldn’t be back, the kids from the compound also got into fights, wouldn’t the company send someone over? Now people are out, this is our family’s issue. Besides, she wasn’t really hurt, just scared, and we got so much money, it’s two thousand yuan, your dad couldn’t save that much in a lifetime. With this money, we don’t have to live , and she wasn’t wronged, so why would your dad disagree?" Bai Xue was not about to give the money back.

After the incident spread, Bai Xue heard Shen Bin went to handle it, she couldn’t sit still and wanted to go hit that unfilial daughter, but just after stepping out of the compound, a few people came over asking about her family, she realized they were from an influential family.

Finding a private spot, the Gao Family said as long as the Ye Family doesn’t pursue responsibility, it’s fine. Upon hearing this, Bai Xue readily agreed, but also mentioned the company is aware of the issue. The other party assured her the Ye Family need not worry, as long as they don’t seek accountability, the Gao Family will handle everything.

Bai Xue took the money without showing herself, directly went home, and told the younger daughter about it, and not long after, Shen Bin brought Ye Ling back, leading to the earlier incident.

Ye Qian naturally didn’t want to return the money, "Mom, even if we have the money, act like we don’t for a year or so, don’t spend it. If dad sees it, he’ll definitely get suspicious."

"Alright, I’ll listen to you, but after your exams tomorrow, I’ll take you shopping for a dress, a new dress."

"Mom, I definitely didn’t do well in the exams, getting new clothes wouldn’t look good. I already feel uneasy about it, you don’t need to buy for me, get something for sister. Take this opportunity while she’s back, speak kindly, and don’t act like enemies with her."

Bai Xue looked at the money without the usual resentment, "Alright, I got it, don’t worry."

She packed up the money, hid it under the bed in a shoebox, and then in a penholder, wrapping it three times.

After tidying up, people from the compound came to see Ye Chong, and upon hearing Ye Ling was asleep, they did not ask Bai Xue to wake her up, offering some comfort before leaving.

Over at the Liu Family, Wu Mengyi sat in the living room with a gloomy face, and when her son came in, she didn’t say a word. Liu Zhiyuan knew his mother was unhappy, but he himself was in no better mood. The reason for his discontent was perhaps when he saw Shen Bin’s strength, it made him realize he always treated Zhao Guodong and the others as kids, but compared to Shen Bin, wasn’t he also immature?

For the first time, Liu Zhiyuan desired to be like Shen Bin, to become a real soldier, and this desire seemed to take root in his heart, making him anxious to grow stronger.

So when he used to cause trouble, seeing his mother , he would stop and apologize. But now Liu Zhiyuan no longer had such intentions, nor did he think about anything else.

Wu Mengyi was stunned by her son’s lack of response, and proactively called out to him, "Zhiyuan, sit down and talk to mom."

"Mom, I’d like to be alone for a while." Liu Zhiyuan glanced at his mother and entered his room, closing the door behind him.

Wu Mengyi was shocked by the helpless look in her son’s eyes, stood there in a daze, staring at his door. It was clearly her son who should apologize, but why did Wu Mengyi feel that she was in the wrong?

Wu Mengyi wasn’t sure what happened, her son had never been a source of worry, and any trouble he got into was due to being influenced by the Zhao Family kids, so she never worried about him. But seeing him so haggard, just one look made her heart ache. The anger she had felt before had now dissipated, and she couldn’t say a single reproachful word.

Originally, the boys in the compound should be coming back indignant, but unlike usual, each quietly retreated to their rooms without speaking, leaving all the families puzzled about what had happened.
