"Can't you be a little more subtle?" Ye Yongxian looked at her with a grievance, thinking, *This girl, there was no need to be so blunt.*
Ye Zhi paused, then asked, "Then... please pretend you never had a daughter like me?"
Ye Yongxian felt helpless. "Should I praise you for being so polite?"
"I also think I'm quite polite," Ye Zhi nodded in agreement.
Ye Yongxian: ...
However, with her diverting his attention, his earlier feeling of being close to a heart attack from Ye Qinya had lessened considerably.
Ye Yongxian sighed and said with emotion, "Actually, Qinya isn't inherently bad..."
"Dad, you're wrong," Ye Zhi said calmly. "This has nothing to do with her inherent nature. She completely loses herself for love. If she met a good man, she would be like Mom, managing the household and raising children. Even if she met someone with malicious intent, at most, after Mom and Dad are gone, the three of us siblings would fight to the death over the inheritance and never see each other again. That would actually be alright..."
Ye Yongxian: ... You call that 'alright'?
"...Unfortunately, she met Ou Minghan, and that's where it gets fatal."
Ye Yongxian: ...
Compared to this, the previous situations truly weren't anything.
Ye Zhi continued, "What's more, now that she's severed ties with the family, it only makes her feel like she's defying the entire world for love. No matter what happens, she'll only love her Ou Minghan more resolutely, waiting for the day she takes down the great villain, me, who destroyed their relationship, and ushers in their happy life."
"Whatever happened between them, it's not your fault!" Ye Yongxian was somewhat angry.
"They don't see it that way," Ye Zhi shrugged. "Who asked me to never revolve around them?"
Ye Yongxian was completely speechless now. He sighed helplessly, "It seems there's no way to make Qinya come back to her senses."
"Not necessarily no way," Ye Zhi said suddenly.
Ye Yongxian startled. "What way?"
"As long as the root cause, Ou Minghan, is resolved, the problem will be solved," Ye Zhi said lightly.
Ye Yongxian looked at her in astonishment. *What kind of villainous speech is this?*
He couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by 'resolved'?"
"Exactly what it sounds like," Ye Zhi replied.
Ye Yongxian said earnestly, "...Little Zhi, we don't do anything illegal, alright?"
"Dad, what are you thinking?" Ye Zhi chuckled. "I mean using legitimate business tactics to make him go bankrupt. Then, you just need to provide fifty million yuan to make him leave Ye Qinya forever. What do you think he'll choose: fifty million, or your second daughter who's got love on the brain?"
"Why should we give him fifty million?" Ye Yongxian said indignantly.
"Then, once he receives the money, we can sue him in court and get the money back. In any case, such a transaction is void," Ye Zhi said calmly.
Ye Yongxian: "...You're the truly devious one."
After talking with Ye Zhi, Ye Yongxian's mood had improved considerably.
When they returned to the Ye residence, Ye Qinya had also returned to the Ou residence.
Ye Qinya looked up and saw a car parked at the entrance. The car door opened, and Ou Tiantian stepped out.
Ou Tiantian looked at Ye Qinya coldly, then, in the next moment, she commanded the servants, "Get this woman out of here!"
"No, you can't kick me out!" Ye Qinya immediately panicked. "Minghan, I want to see Minghan..."
"What are you waiting for?! Why aren't you kicking her out?!" Ou Tiantian said angrily.
The servants were helpless. They could only block Ye Qinya, preventing her from entering while also not driving her away.
The commotion outside the door finally alerted Ou Minghan. He walked out, saw Ye Qinya being blocked, and a look of panic flashed across his face.
Why had Ye Qinya returned?
He had already received news that his plan had failed. In his opinion, given Ye Zhi's ruthless nature, she would continue to pursue the matter. And that foolish woman, Ye Qinya, would most likely take the blame for him and not expose him.
But why had Ye Qinya returned? How could Ye Zhi possibly let her go? Could it be that Ye Qinya had betrayed him and had come to identify him?!
"Why did you come back?!" Ou Minghan asked with a cold expression.
"Minghan," Ye Qinya shed tears dazedly. "I have no home anymore, I only have you now..."
Ou Minghan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. So, because of this incident, the Ye family had directly expelled Ye Qinya?
However, was this expulsion genuine, or just talk?
"Brother! I don't want to see her, get her out of here!" Ou Tiantian said furiously.
"Tiantian, don't make a scene." Ou Minghan's face darkened.
Ou Tiantian immediately burst into tears. "When was I making a scene? This is clearly my home, my parents' house! Brother, you promised my parents you would take care of me for life! But why, when I came home, have all the household staff been replaced? None of them listen to me! Where is Aunt Zhang? Where is Sister Li? They watched me grow up, why can't I see them? Brother, if you don't want to take care of me, just say it. Let's split the family property, fifty-fifty, and live separately!"
Upon hearing the words 'split the family,' Ou Minghan's expression immediately changed.
He reached out and stroked Ou Tiantian's head, sighing, "What nonsense are you talking? I said I'd take care of you for life, and I will. Didn't I mention it before? Aunt Zhang and Sister Li went back to their hometown because of family matters. If you miss them, I'll help you bring them back right now, okay? Also..."
Ou Minghan's gaze swept coldly over the servants. "Listen here! From now on, the young lady's words are equivalent to my words. No one is allowed to disobey, understood?!"
"Understood!" The servants quickly replied in unison.
Ou Tiantian then stopped crying and pointed aggressively at Ye Qinya. "Then what about her?!"
Ou Minghan glanced at Ye Qinya indifferently. With a wave of his hand, he said, "Throw her out!"
Ye Qinya felt her heart turn cold. She shouted, "I'm not leaving! Ou Tiantian, don't you want my heart anymore?"
Ou Minghan and Ou Tiantian's expressions changed in unison. How did Ye Qinya know?!
"If you want my heart, you can have it," Ye Qinya shed tears, and said firmly, "Minghan, marry me."
Ou Minghan immediately became furious. "Ye Qinya, you dare threaten me!"
Ye Qinya smiled. "Then do you want to save her?"
"I don't! Brother! You're not allowed to marry her!" Ou Tiantian screamed angrily. "If you marry her, I'll die of anger before I even get a heart transplant!"
"Tiantian, what silly things are you saying?" Ou Minghan's face darkened. In the next moment, he looked at Ye Qinya coldly. "You want me to marry you? Fine, as long as you can get the household registration book from the Ye family."
