Chapter 214 -214: Hurry Up and Have a Child for Him

Madam Ye felt both anger and urgency, “What counterfeit, haven’t we already accepted you as our adopted daughter? You are now a Miss of the Ye Family, and even if the Sheng Family finds out, with our support, they wouldn’t dare to make things difficult for you.”

“Being an adopted daughter is just a nicer-sounding term, at the end of the day, it is still deception. If the Sheng Family knew I was the daughter of a murderer, they wouldn’t let it go easily, and Sheng Tingyuan would never acknowledge me as his wife.”

Madam Ye’s brows deeply furrowed; Ye Chuyi had hit the nail on the head now, her father was indeed a huge hidden threat like a malignant tumor.

If she were the daughter of a commoner, it wouldn’t be much of a problem; considering the Ye Family’s face, the Sheng Family might not refuse to accept Ye Chuyi’s status as an “adopted daughter”.

But Shi Youjin had killed twice, it was no longer an ordinary case, but a major criminal case. Having such a cruel and bloodthirsty father, she would never be able to hold her head high in her lifetime, and even her genetics might be problematic.

Not to mention the Sheng Family, even Madam Ye now felt like she needed to keep a distance from Ye Chuyi, as bad genes are hereditary. Deep down inside, Ye Chuyi might have a tendency towards violence and bloodshed.

However, some things, like an arrow shot from a bow, cannot be recalled.

The best plan for now was to continue hiding Ye Chuyi’s identity. Otherwise, the deep ties recently established with the Sheng Family would instantly fall apart, and her son would completely lose the massive support of the Sheng Family in the future.

Madam Ye thought for a while and then said softly, “Who did Shi Youjin kill this time? I can have someone talk to the victim’s family, offer several million in compensation, and get them to issue a letter of forgiveness. Maybe we could get Shi Youjin out.”

Ye Chuyi spoke firmly, “No, there’s no need to get him out. Before, I thought he hadn’t killed anyone, so I tried everything to help him, but now I’m sure of it, he did the killings. He doesn’t deserve the forgiveness of the victims’ families, he should be punished by the law!”

Madam Ye was surprised; she hadn’t expected Ye Chuyi, who had been so filially pious before, would now be able to disown her family for righteousness with such clear-headed rationality.

She had a strange and familiar feeling, “Why do I feel that you don’t quite resemble the daughter of a murderer like Shi Youjin? You’re a bit like…”

Like her father-in-law, the real power-holder of the Ye Family, Ye Chongzun.

However, she did not continue with what she was about to say.

What was important now wasn’t who Ye Chuyi resembled, but to dispel her worries, and to keep her helping the Ye Family with the marriage alliance.

“Xiaoyi, don’t worry about your identity; the Sheng and Ye families are now tied together, and you are firmly the daughter-in-law of the Sheng Family. If you’re still not at ease, I will have someone erase all traces of your past, no one will know your true identity. From now on, as long as I say you are my daughter, no one will dare to question it.”

In fact, Madam Ye had already had someone erase all of Ye Chuyi’s past traces, but she didn’t tell her because she was afraid she wouldn’t like it.

She was even more unwilling than Ye Chuyi for the Sheng Family to discover that this daughter of the Ye Family was an impostor.

“And, you need to develop a good relationship with Sheng Tingyuan and have a child with him as soon as possible.”

“No, to have a son. With such a huge family business for the Sheng Family to pass on, how can you do it without a son? You’re not going to leave it all to Sheng Huai’an, that illegitimate child, are you?”

“Sheng Tingyuan would never agree to that. He has invested a lot in competing with that illegitimate child for the inheritance rights. As long as you bear him a son, no matter what happens in the future, he will not make things difficult for you for the sake of his son.”

Listening made Ye Chuyi’s head ache; was she supposed to deceive Sheng Tingyuan into having a son with her? And then use the son to get Sheng Tingyuan to let her off the hook?

This was too—despicable.

Seeing that Madam Ye was about to mention having a son again, she hurriedly interrupted, “I’ll think about it, we’ve stood outside for too long, it’s time to go in. I haven’t eaten yet, and I suppose Sheng Tingyuan hasn’t eaten either. Is there anything to eat at home?”

“Yes, there’s everything at home, what do you want to eat? I’ll tell someone to make it for you.”

“I’d like some soup.” She had talked too much at the police station today; she just wanted something soupy now.

Madam Ye immediately called out to the servant, “Nurse Liu, Xiaoyi wants some soup. Quickly make some soup for the young miss!”
