Chapter 475: Chapter 475
Ye Qian was truly angry; she hated both Ye Ling and Zhao Guodong in front of her. She laughed coldly, "Fine, then I’ll see what you can do to make me admit it’s my doing. I’m waiting to see."
The hospital room was filled with tension and strife. When Shen Bin walked in from outside, he saw this scene, and he had vaguely heard Ye Ling’s name while in the corridor. He glanced suspiciously among the three people.
Bai Xue couldn’t hold back and spoke, "Shen Bin, you tell Ye Ling not to overreach, helping outsiders bully her own family. Also, I’m telling you, the living expenses of 120 yuan this year have to increase to 240, or else what was discussed yesterday doesn’t count, and I’ll still seek money from Ye Ling."
Bai Xue used this matter to manipulate Shen Bin. Official source is NoveIꜰire.net
"Mom, then go ask Ye Ling yourself. I talked to Ye Ling about this yesterday, and she said not to interfere." Shen Bin was worried about this matter, having upset his wife, and now this opportunity presented itself. How could he not be pleased?
But he couldn’t show it, fortunately keeping a straight face, so his happiness wasn’t noticeable.
Yesterday, Shen Bin’s attitude wasn’t this tough. Today, Bai Xue spoke, expecting Shen Bin to soften and say something nice, making her feel better. She hadn’t expected Shen Bin to respond this way.
She thought handling matters with Shen Bin was easy, but Ye Ling, despite numerous calls, didn’t send money. Bai Xue knew she wouldn’t get a penny even if she went personally.
Bai Xue was dumbfounded.
Shen Bin continued, "It’s all packed, right? Let’s go, I’ve called a driver to take you back."
He was speaking to Ye Qian.
Ye Qian nodded, looking better than before, but still spiritless, "Brother-in-law, take me to my mom’s place. Zhiyuan came yesterday, telling me to recuperate at my mom’s first. My parents-in-law aren’t happy. Recently, my mother-in-law’s health isn’t good; going back will agitate her."
Hearing this, Shen Bin furrowed his brows and thought before saying, "I’ll take you home first, then go find Zhiyuan to talk."
Zhao Guodong scoffed beside them. Ye Qian was clearly trying to make Shen Bin step in. Before, Zhao Guodong might not have seen through Ye Qian, but after this incident, he felt he could see her motives easily.
Zhao Guodong’s scoff drew the attention of the other three. Bai Xue glared at Zhao Guodong like a knife, Ye Qian showed grievance but looked elsewhere, while Shen Bin gave Zhao Guodong a meaningful glance.
Shen Bin’s glance dissatisfied Zhao Guodong. He raised his chin defiantly, reminiscent of earlier times when Shen Bin trained him at work. Seeing this, Shen Bin shook his head without speaking.
But Zhao Guodong could tell Shen Bin still viewed him as a kid.
"This is between husband and wife. Why are you going to talk to Liu Zhiyuan?" Zhao Guodong couldn’t say Ye Qian was doing it deliberately, so he prompted Shen Bin not to meddle in Ye Qian’s affairs.
"This matter started because of the Shen Family. I must talk to Zhiyuan." Shen Bin had no hidden agenda, but Zhao Guodong’s attitude today seemed off, confusing him.
Since entering the room and hearing his mother-in-law say his wife’s overextending, Shen Bin suspected it might be related to his wife, so he didn’t ask more.
He was more concerned that his wife hadn’t mentioned this on the phone yesterday. What did that imply? Alternatively, perhaps it wasn’t related to his wife, and his mother-in-law worried excessively.
Shen Bin certainly hoped for the latter.
"Brother-in-law, Zhao Guodong is right. Zhiyuan acted for the parents-in-law’s sake, and I’m not really aggrieved, either. My mother-in-law’s ill health is my fault; it’s fair to lay low for a while. Don’t bring it up; it’ll make Zhiyuan and my mother-in-law think I’m inconsiderate."
