Ye Cheng reached out and patted Ye Xin’s head as he gently said, “Silly girl, why are you speaking such nonsense?”
Tears brimmed in Ye Xin’s eyes again and rolled down her face. “Brother, I miss you so much.”
Ye Cheng chuckled. “What are you talking about? It’s all of us who have missed you. You were unconscious for such a long time, scaring us so much that our hair almost turned white…”
The Ye family’s warm reunion caused Ye Xin to temporarily forget about the hurtful and terrifying words she had heard earlier. She reminisced happily with her family about happy times.
At this moment, Ye He recalled something and asked, “Cheng, have you dealt with the Mu family regarding Xinxin’s matter?”
Ye Cheng was speechless when he heard these words. His father’s EQ was truly now; there was no remedy for it.
At the same time, Gao Wen and Ye Xin shifted their attention to Ye Cheng as well.
Ye Xin asked in a trembling voice, “W-what’s the matter?”
Ye Cheng looked at Ye He meaningfully.
Meanwhile, Gao Wen looked at Ye Xin and Ye Cheng anxiously.
In the end, Ye Cheng replied vaguely, “Don’t worry. I’m dealing with it.”
Ye Xin naturally could not accept such a vague answer. She asked anxiously, “Brother, what’s wrong? What happened with the Mu family?”
Ye Cheng looked at his sister, momentarily speechless. His willful sister was probably only referring to Mu Chen when she spoke of the Mu family. Up until now, she simply refused to acknowledge Song Ning as the Young Madam of the Mu family.
Ye Cheng recalled Mu Chen’s words to him. Mu Chen had warned him to rein his sister in; otherwise, Mu Chen would take matters into his own hands. With Mu Chen’s words in mind, he let out a long sigh before he said, “You injured Song Ning so the Mu family is suing you for assault. I wanted to settle this matter outside of court with Mu Chen, but the Mu family is against that. After all, Song Ning was pregnant at that time you injured her; there could’ve been a loss of two lives. Mu Chen and Old Madam Mu were enraged and refused to let the matter go. However, since you were in the ICU, the matter was temporarily put on hold. Now that some time has passed, perhaps, Mu Chen’s anger has subsided. After all, there have been so many happy events in his life recently.”
Ye Xin was stunned. Since she had woken up until now, she did not think about this problem. She was so badly injured that she was almost crippled; what else did they want from her? Were they really going to pursue this matter to the end?
After a moment, Ye Xin asked tremblingly, “W-what do they want? Are they really going to sue me?”
Ye Xin’s tone was aggrieved, resentful, unresigned, and even angry. Her gaze turned resentful as well when she looked at Ye Cheng.
Ever since she woke up, she had never thought about this problem.
After all, she was injured! She was injured so badly that she was almost crippled. What else could she do? Should they still pursue her?
Her lips trembled as she asked, “What do they want? Are they going to sue me?”
Before Ye Cheng could reply, Gao Wen hurriedly said, “Ye Cheng, have a proper talk with Mu Chen. We’re willing to compensate them with as much money as they want!”
Fear still lingered in Gao Wen’s heart when she recalled the previous incident. In a way, it was the first time she had suffered so much. It also made her see that even if she was Madam Ye, and her husband and son were Ye He and Ye Cheng, she was not above the law. Currently, the sword was still hanging over her head; whether she could be spared or not depended on the Mu family. Hence, she had no choice but to soften her stance.
On the other hand, Ye Xin, who was clueless, continued to be stubborn. “Why should we compensate them? No, we won’t compensate them! I didn’t injure her! Moreover, I’m so heavily injured, they still want me to compensate them? Shouldn’t she compensate me instead?”
Ye Cheng looked at his sister speechlessly.
Ye Xin glared at Ye Cheng and continued on her tirade. “Brother! You’re not thinking of compromising, right? No matter how much you want to become a politician, you won’t use your sister’s dignity as a stepping stone, right? Who is Song Ning? Is her life more precious than mine? I haven’t even settled the score with her yet, and you’re telling me we have to compensate her?! She only has the Mu family supporting her; I want to see how long the Mu family will keep supporting her. I won’t let her succeed!”
Gao Wen said worriedly, “My darling, don’t be angry, don’t be angry. Your brother will deal with this matter, okay?”
