Chapter 365: Chapter 365
"Weiwei, you..." Tian Yaruo instantly realized everything. Look at this—her beloved niece whom she’s cherished dearly. All that affection, wasted.
The gaze directed at her was as if looking at a sworn enemy. Where’s the warmth they usually shared?
Mrs. Tian Sr. clutched her chest in fright, her heart pounding. This child had gone too far—she’d almost provoked her heart condition.
Glancing at the shards of porcelain all over the floor, her temples throbbed in pain. That was her husband’s treasure, worth two hundred thousand yuan!
How would she explain this when he returned later? Just imagining the upcoming scene, she held her forehead with a sigh. This family truly never had a day of peace!
Ye Duowei stepped on the broken porcelain pieces and bolted to Tian Yaruo, loudly interrogating, "What did you say? Li Si actually married Young Master Leng and is pregnant? On what basis?"
On what basis could she live more smoothly than Ye Duowei? On what basis could she enjoy better fortune? If not for Li Si leaving marks in Yin Xian’s heart that she herself cared about deeply, why would she have beaten Zhou Rou so viciously in that bar?
If it weren’t for past grievances, why would she have lost control of her emotions at the Han Family and fought that wretched woman, ultimately losing her child?
If she had successfully given birth to her child, would Yin Xian so easily divorce her?
If he had even a shred of sincerity, wouldn’t the child’s presence have made him hesitate before leaving?
All of this—it all boils down to Li Si!
Now, Li Si was happily living as Mrs. Leng, anticipates the arrival of new life? How could she feel no guilt toward her?
Luckily, Tian Yaruo couldn’t perform mind reading; otherwise, if she knew what Ye Duowei was thinking at this moment, she might faint directly from anger.
Tian Yaruo admonished sharply, "Weiwei! What kind of nonsense is that? What does Tiantian living well have to do with you?" The most update n0vels are published on NoveIＦire.net
She knew Ye Duowei was a sharp child, but could the whole world be expected to live worse than her? Such a mindset was simply inconceivable!
Ye Duowei felt like she was moments away from going mad, clutching her head and screaming loudly, "It absolutely has everything to do with me! Without her, would I have divorced Yin Xian? If not for her, would I have had a miscarriage?
Just a few more months! My child could’ve been born! All of this—it’s all her fault. Why should I suffer while she gets to feel happy? She doesn’t deserve it!"
Tian Yaruo listened in disbelief as Ye Duowei spewed this drivel, her breath quickening and her face turning crimson from fury. Unable to hold it back, she slapped her hard across the face—"Smack!"
The world suddenly became silent.
Mrs. Tian Sr., stunned by the spectacle, didn’t know what to say. Weiwei’s words had indeed crossed the line, but her daughter smacking her was also extreme. When their eldest came back later, there’d surely be another commotion—a home without peace!
Ye Duowei held her left cheek where her aunt had struck her, disbelieving as the burning pain spread. "You hit me?"
For as long as she could remember, her aunt had been kinder to her than her own mother. Whatever she wanted, as long as she mentioned it to her aunt, it would be granted.
Sometimes, she even felt more like her aunt’s child than Kesong did.
The adults even joked about it sometimes. Every time they did, she’d think to herself—perhaps she had been her aunt’s daughter in a previous life?
But now, what was happening? Her aunt actually hit her?
Was it all for that Li Si again? What did Li Si have? Hadn’t her aunt abandoned her years ago? Just a country girl—how could she possibly compare to herself?
Tian Yaruo looked at Ye Duowei’s shocked and wounded expression, secretly regretting her action. But those words Ye Duowei had spoken—they were truly uncalled for.
She tried to make Ye Duowei understand: "Weiwei, Auntie slapped you because I was too angry—hoping to wake you up! What does your divorce have to do with Li Si? We know the details! One cannot commit mistakes and then blame others!"
If this mentality persisted, sooner or later she’d make mistakes she couldn’t undo!
Ye Duowei sneered, "And what do you all know? You know nothing! Yin Xian even has childhood photos of that Li Si. And what does that prove? It proves they’ve absolutely been together! Who knows how many times they’ve slept together!
Don’t think I’m simply jealous of her. I genuinely despise her—from the depths of my heart! She pretends to be something she’s not; underneath, she’s filthy and disgusting, utterly revolting! The Leng Family must all be blind not to see her true nature!"
Tian Yaruo was so enraged her tears spilled uncontrollably. This was the person she had cherished—she really was insane. Neglecting her own daughter to care for an ungrateful smooth-talker!
"Smack!" Another slap landed, this time across Ye Duowei’s right cheek, reddening it instantly.
"You’re not allowed to insult her like that!" Tian Yaruo’s heart ached as she gazed at Ye Duowei. "Weiwei, how did you become ? You’ve broken my heart—a heart that has loved you deeply! If I had known you’d turn out this way, I... I..."
The memories flooded in—a montage of what she had done for Weiwei, and for Li Si. When Ye Duowei had tried to snatch Li Si’s engagement ring, why did she lecture Li Si instead, urging her to give in?
So much—so much she now regretted! Reflecting on it, she felt she’d fallen far short!
Tian Yaruo covered her face, sobbing mournfully, anguished beyond measure. Especially thinking back to the cold indifference Li Si had shown her at the jewelry store—her heart felt pierced.
Mrs. Tian Sr., witnessing the chaos, suppressed her cardiac discomfort and urged Ye Duowei through pleading looks: "Weiwei, apologize to your aunt immediately! My goodness, how could you speak such outrageous things! No wonder she smacked you—you deserved it! If I had the strength, I’d teach you a lesson myself!"
Couldn’t this child see? Right now, only her aunt could help their family. If things truly soured, who would extend a hand in the future?
Ye Duowei, her neck stiffened and tears streaming, looked at Mrs. Tian Sr. with utter defiance, ignoring her entirely.
She continued disdainfully, "Oh, I get it now! You think that now that I’ve divorced and am a failure—unable to buy what I want without sweet-talking you—you can start favoring your precious daughter instead?
Well, let me tell you this: no one knows who’ll truly thrive in the end!
I, Ye Duowei, refuse to believe it—that Yin Xian could escape from my grasp! Just wait—I’ll make him beg me for a reconciliation!
And as for your precious daughter—she hasn’t even given birth yet. Anything could happen. Just wait—I’ll see to it that she gets abandoned someday!"
With that, she grabbed a bag from the coffee table, yanked out a jewelry box, opened it, and violently stomped on all the contents. The gold—delicately crafted as hollow designs—was completely ruined under the force.
Tian Yaruo and Mrs. Tian Sr. both froze in shock at her actions. By the time they snapped out of it, Ye Duowei had already stormed upstairs.
Mrs. Tian Sr., seeing the devastation before her, quickly tried to console Tian Yaruo, "Daughter, please don’t take Weiwei’s words to heart. She’s just upset over her divorce—her mood is all over the place! You’ve doted on her all these years; deep down she knows. Watch—she might even come to your house tomorrow to apologize!
Please don’t get angry—the gold’s ruined? Let it be ruined. If she doesn’t want it, Mom will take it. How does that sound?"
She reached out to hold Tian Yaruo’s hand, but was forcefully shrugged off.
"Mom, stop trying to smooth things over. I’ve seen it all clearly now. This house simply doesn’t accommodate such a grand figure! I don’t need her apology!
From now on, I don’t have this niece! Tell her parents I expect that fund my husband urgently needs within three days! Otherwise, they can prepare to sell off their belongings to pay me back. The IOU is still in my hands!"
Tian Yaruo silently thanked herself for her foresight in making them sign that IOU.
No words were necessary after everything—Ye Duowei’s actions weren’t venting; they had been deliberate insults!
Mrs. Tian Sr., realizing her daughter meant every word, began crying and pleading, "Daughter, you’re still upset right now; don’t say things that’ll hurt this family. Your sister’s family isn’t well-off—you know this! Where could they get the money to pay you back? I’ll call your sister shortly to scold Weiwei properly—would that suffice?"
Tian Yaruo coldly watched her mother, her heart filled with icy bitterness. This was her family.
"Nothing you say will change my mind! I *will* get that money!" With that, she grabbed her bag, shook off Mrs. Tian Sr.’s hand, and stormed out in anger.
Mrs. Tian Sr. stared at her daughter’s determined silhouette, helplessly slapping her own thigh and bursting into sobs. "What a cursed fate!" (To be continued.
