Chapter 619: 622: Seeking a Path to Death

Her dad, her uncle, her two brothers, and several of her cousins, all work at Ye Group.

If because of her, everyone in the family lost their jobs, wouldn’t they skin her alive?

Gut-wrenching fear quickly overtook her, and she fell to her knees. She tilted her head back, and pleaded with Ye Xinglan, “Eldest cousin brother, I was just really mad earlier. I misspoke out of anger. It wasn’t intentional. Please, eldest cousin brother, don’t do this. I was wrong, I apologize.”

“I don’t accept apologies,” Ye Xinglan said coldly, “I like to deal with things once and for all. Only then will you stop feeling superior in front of Beibei. Even if you also bear the name Ye, my Ye Family is not your Ye Family. From now on, keep your distance from me. I have no patience for ungrateful wolves like you. If you can’t be tamed, I might as well not bother.”

After finishing, he no longer looked at Ye Tao. Instead, he turned to Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei, saying: “Fifth Brother, Beibei, let’s go to my room with Xiao Li. Dinner’s on me as an apology.”

Both he and Ye Xingli had reserved rooms in this place. Even if they didn’t come, the manor would hold the rooms for them and not entertain guests there.

Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei did not refuse, they stood up and followed Ye Xinglan towards his room.

Ye Tao followed them, crying hysterically, “Eldest cousin brother, you can’t do this to me! It was just a momentary impulse, a minor mistake. You can’t treat me like this, my dad will beat me to death!”

All those whose interests were harmed because of her would hate her.

She was just momentarily competitive, committed a small error, how could she be punished in such a horrifying way?

“Oh, right,” Gu Junzhu stopped, turned back, and looked at Ye Tao who was blocked by Ye family’s bodyguards. With a mysterious smile, he said, “Almost forgot, she just called my wife a dog raised by the Ye family. I haven’t held her accountable yet.”

Gu Chi understood the cue, he stepped forward, and slapped Ye Tao several times.

Sensing the moment was almost right, Gu Junzhu waved his hand to signal Gu Chi to back off. He looked at Ye Tao and chuckled, “Next time, understand the situation before arbitrarily stepping on others. If you step on someone and in the end only step on nails, does it hurt?”

Ye Tao’s face was swollen from the slapping, she was in so much pain that her vision swam.

Daylight shone on Gu Junzhu’s undeniably handsome face. All she could think was: why would someone so gorgeous have such a ruthless heart?

Don’t judge a book by its cover, right?

A few moments later, the four of them sat in Ye Xinglan’s private room. Under Ye Xingli’s arrangement, they each ordered their favorite dishes, filling the table.

Nevertheless, Ye Xingbei’s good mood when he arrived, had completely disappeared.

However, once Zhen Yuan relayed Ye Xinglan’s intention and Ye Tao’s brothers and sisters were fired from the Ye Group, probably no one would dare provoke her again. No one would dare call her a dog raised by the Ye family in her presence.

That was probably the only gain of the day.

Ye Xingli noticed that she was not in high spirits and tried to console her, “Beibei, don’t take Ye Tao’s idiotic words to heart. It’s not just you they look down on. They also look down on me and Brother Lan, even my dad. My maternal grandfather doesn’t have a son. They always think that if it were not for my father choosing to be a son-in-law, my grandfather would have adopted a child from their line to inherit his huge estate, which would then all be theirs. Such nonsense!”
