Chapter 302 -302 I Should Have Come Earlier

Ye Chuyi looked up at the second floor of the villa, where the master bedroom was. The light in the master bedroom was off at the moment, but she couldn’t be sure whether Lady Wen was asleep.

She hoped she was.

That way, she couldn’t witness her hitting someone.

They hadn’t recognized each other yet, and she didn’t want to give her mother the impression of being violent and cruel.

She instructed her bodyguards, “Cover her mouth, drag her out, and beat her first.”

The two bodyguards responded and stepped forward to cover Lin Yueqin’s mouth, dragging her out of the villa.

The storm, with its fierce winds and thunderous lightning, masked the sound of beating, and only Lin Yueqin’s pained muffled groans could be heard sporadically.

After a while, she was dragged back in.

She was soaked through, with her cheeks swollen high and blood streaming from the corner of her mouth.

She looked at Ye Chuyi with a mix of shock and rage, “How dare you let people hit me?! I’m your mother, hitting me is unfilial! You’re asking for retribution!”

“Retribution? You think you’re worthy to speak of retribution?”

Ye Chuyi laughed abruptly as if she had heard the biggest joke, “Ha! In this world, isn’t the person who deserves retribution the most, you, Lin Yueqin!”

“What are you talking about? I’ve lived a decent life, how could I face retribution!”

“You will face retribution very soon, don’t worry. Wait a moment, I’ll make you wish you were dead, and I hope then you can still be as tough as you are now.”

Having said that, Ye Chuyi walked past her, into the villa.

A maid with an unfamiliar face stood at the door, quivering, “Who are you? What do you want to do?”

Ye Chuyi sized her up, “Are you a new maid?”

“Yes.”

“Where is Madam? Did she go to sleep?”

“Madam is not here.”

Ye Chuyi frowned, “What do you mean she’s not here? Where did she go?”

“I don’t know; Madam hasn’t been home for several days.”

Ye Chuyi’s expression darkened rapidly, and she pushed the maid out of the way, striding into the living room. After scanning the room and finding no one, she went upstairs and directly entered the master bedroom.

The light was turned on, but Lady Wen was nowhere to be found on the bed, there was only Wen Xingye.

Wen Xingye had just lain down. Suddenly, the door was flung open, and the lights turned on, the room abruptly brightening. He stared incredulously at Ye Chuyi standing in the doorway, and then he became furious, “What are you doing?! Who allowed you in? Get out!”

Ye Chuyi clenched her hand and asked coldly, “Where is Madam? Why are you the only one at home? Where did she go?”

Wen Xingye never expected her to burst into his bedroom in the middle of the night and still have the nerve to demand where his wife was.

He got up from the bed in anger, “What my wife does is none of your business! You have broken into my house, I’m calling the police now, to have you arrested!”

But Ye Chuyi was quicker, snatching the phone from his bedside before he could act, then she opened the window and threw his phone out.

Wen Xingye’s face changed color with rage, “You! What madness is this, breaking into my house in the middle of the night! Are you ill?!”

Ye Chuyi ignored him and left the bedroom.

It was so late, why wouldn’t Lady Wen be home? She rarely went out, and yet the maid claimed she hadn’t been home in days. What had happened?

Just reaching the stairway, she saw Wen Nianyou hurrying down from the upper floor, “What happened? Why—”

Before she could finish, she saw Ye Chuyi and her eyes widened in surprise, “Why are you here?”

“Why can’t I be here?”

Ye Chuyi suddenly let out a sinister laugh, “I should’ve come here long ago, shouldn’t I have?”

Wen Nianyou felt that there was something off about her, but she didn’t dwell on it. Approaching Ye Chuyi, and seeing Wen Xingye glaring at her, she asked in a soft voice, “Dad, why did she suddenly come? I thought I heard you arguing with her?”

Wen Xingye was livid, “She’s crazy! She barged into my bedroom and demanded to know where your mom went! When I said I would call the police, she threw my phone out the window!”

Wen Nianyou looked at Ye Chuyi in surprise, “Why are you looking for my mom in the middle of the night? Chuyi, I know you’ve always been envious and jealous because I have a good mother. But don’t you have a mother? Why do you keep trying to take mine? You really seem a bit crazy, maybe you should see a doctor.”
