Chapter 223 -223: Avenging My Childhood Self

Lin Yueqin was terrified of being found out by Ye Chuyi, so she quickly made up an excuse, “That’s right, he hates you because you are a daughter, he likes sons! He thinks daughters are a loss-making business, that even if brought up well, they’re just made to benefit someone else through marriage, so he might as well just ruin the daughter’s upbringing.”

Ye Chuyi still had an indifferent expression, “Really? Because I am a daughter? Then why did he want to kill Du Yu and Tian Qiugui? Tell me the reason, and I will let you go this time. Otherwise, I’ll send you to that unscrupulous hospital to enjoy the company of Meng Li’s mother.”

Lin Yueqin’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly shook her head, “I don’t know, I really don’t know!”

Ye Chuyi moved her foot away and released her hand.

Lin Yueqin was overjoyed and had just pulled her left hand back when her lower back was kicked by Ye Chuyi. Unprepared, she fell flat on the ground.

Then, her other hand was stepped on by Ye Chuyi.

She cried out in pain, “You little beast, you’re crazy! I am your mother, how dare you treat me like this, you are asking for divine retribution!”

“When I was a child, you beat me every day until I was bruised all over, and I nearly didn’t survive. If divine retribution really did something, the first person to be punished should have been you, but you’ve lived well up to now, which shows how unreliable that notion is,” said Ye Chuyi, applying pressure with her foot.

“Speak, why did Shi Youjin kill?”

“I don’t know!”

Ye Chuyi asked several times in a row, but Lin Yueqin kept saying she didn’t know, even as the skin of her hand was broken and bleeding.

Ye Chuyi slowly took her foot back.

In her heart, she was clear that Lin Yueqin definitely knew the real reason behind Shi Youjin’s murder, but to her surprise, Lin Yueqin was able to withstand the tremendous pain and stubbornly kept her silence.

Asking further was pointless.

However, her curiosity was now intensely piqued.

She watched as Lin Yueqin ran away in a tumble, took out her phone, and made a call, “Ivy, check into Shi Youjin and Lin Yueqin for me, report back with every detail, I want to know everything about their past and present.”

“Yes, boss.”

Mist began to float down from the sky again.

Ye Chuyi stood there, reaching out to catch the cool raindrops.

It was raining again.

Why?

Was it telling her that she was on the right track with her investigation?

Or was it cheering for her, that she could finally avenge her younger self, soothing some of the wounds.

A voice filled with respect mixed with a hint of fear came from behind, “Boss, the compensation for Golden Sand Beach No. 6 has been transferred, Qi Yunfan already sent the money. What do you think, shall we start redecorating the building now?”

Ye Chuyi slowly turned around and saw the fear in Su Shan’s eyes.

She must have seen the scene where she took care of Lin Yueqin and gotten scared.

However, Ye Chuyi didn’t care about frightening her assistant or anyone else; having come this far, she no longer cared about the opinions of others.

She ordered her assistant in a calm voice as usual, “Renovate it. Also, tell Cong Ningyuan to pick a new project manager to supervise it. If he picks another negligent one for me this time, he’ll be demoted from President to Vice-President, and his salary will drop from tens of millions to millions.”

The assistant acknowledged with respect, “Yes, boss.”

After speaking, she retreated back into the office building to carry out Ye Chuyi’s orders.

Ye Chuyi herself remained unmoved; she loved the rain too much, feeling happiness when caught in it.

After a while, she felt the pain in her arm and rolled up her sleeve to look; her upper arm was already bruised badly.

Lin Yueqin had pinched her fiercely.

Luckily, Ye Chuyi had not held back when she stepped on Lin Yueqin, who must be in excruciating pain by now!

At this moment, Lin Yueqin truly was nearly dying of pain, as she hurried to the hospital for a check-up, which showed her thumb and index finger were fractured, and the other fingers were severely contused.

After paying a large sum in medical bills and wrapping both hands like rice dumplings, she returned to the Wen Family’s house.

As soon as she entered, she knelt in front of Lady Wen, weeping and wailing, “Madam, look at my hands, they’re going to be useless!”
