Chapter 1630 It’s your own fault
At the Qiao family's old residence, Qiao Yicheng said to Ye Xiaolang, "Stop making a fuss. It's pointless to talk about these things now. Let's go back quickly. We'll find some time in the next couple of days to get a divorce, and then we can both have a good New Year."

"Qiao Yicheng, what did I do wrong? Huh? I just..."

Tears streaming down her face, Ye Xiaolang loudly expressed her good intentions, saying that she wasn't after money, and recounted all the reasons Qiao Yicheng had given her, adding that she hadn't taken advantage of her family since they got married.

Tears ruined her exquisite makeup, loud shouts made her throat hoarse, and all her scheming failed to make her face contort in a grotesque grimace; she was already on the verge of hysteria…

“I’m listening, Aunt Wu.”

Hearing the commotion behind her, Aunt Wu, who was peering through the door and wall to listen to the commotion, jumped up in fright. But because she felt guilty, she instinctively didn't shout.

She saw Wang Yan grinning and slapped his arm: "You scared your Aunt Wu, didn't you? You scared me half to death. Now I'll try to extort money from you, the big boss."

"Aunt Wu said I'm a big boss, so why would I be afraid of being extorted?"

Aunt Wu rolled her eyes, then grabbed Wang Yan's arm: "Hey, Wang Yan, is Yi Cheng really going to get a divorce? I've been listening to them arguing for half an hour."

"That's probably it. I just got back from Sanli's notice."

"You know, that wife of Yicheng is something else. She used to seem like a good person, and she had a decent job. How come she's so ungrateful? I've been listening to her for a while now, and I've spent a lot of money on her. She's still not satisfied and wants to go abroad. Her family is also useless; they've brought their whole family here to extort money from us."

"Oh dear, money really does tempt people! Even a small fortune isn't easy to come by, and you've found such a spendthrift wife. Didn't you know to do your research before the wedding? If you had, would this have happened? And I'm not the only one listening here; several others did, they only left after you came back. Tell me, the Qiao family is no peace of mind."

Wang Yan laughed heartily: "What do you mean 'make me worry-free'? I've been living with them since I was thirteen. Aunt Wu, don't tell anyone this. If it gets to Uncle Qiao's ears, he'll make things difficult for your chicken gizzards again."

"Do you think your Aunt Wu is afraid of him? Last time I scolded him for half an hour, and he didn't dare to leave the courtyard." Aunt Wu said proudly, then pushed Wang Yan, "Don't come with me to watch the show. Hurry up and resolve this, or people will just laugh at you."

"It's just for entertainment. Besides, we're all neighbors, so there's nothing wrong with watching the fun. It can even make you feel a little better. So what if you're rich? Your home is still a mess."

"Look at what you're saying, let's go in quickly."

Aunt Wu's face lit up with a smile, because that was truly what she thought, though she didn't show it. She urged Wang Yan to leave quickly, but she didn't go; she was still peering through the door and wall, listening for any sounds...

As Wang Yan entered the courtyard, the noise finally subsided.

Ye Xiaolang, his hair all messed up, sat on the ground. Qiao Yicheng, sitting beside him, had his clothes torn and was also in a sorry state. Sanli and Simei were holding Ye Xiaolang back, while Erqiang stood between Yicheng and Ye Xiaolang's parents and younger brother. Ye Xiaolang's parents and younger brother sat on the other side, their faces filled with regret...

Old Qiao sat in the corner, sipping tea from an enamel mug and munching on spiced melon seeds and peanuts. He sat with his legs crossed, swinging leisurely. Wang Yan entered and saw that Yi Cheng had already glared at his father more than once…

Old Qiao looked at him as if he were a savior: "You're finally back, Wang Yan. Hurry up and sort this out. Oh dear, all this noise and commotion is making our Qiao family lose face."

Seeing his heartbroken expression, Qiao Yicheng snorted, "It's a disgrace to the Qiao family to have a father like you." He was so angry that he started spewing insults at everyone he could.

"I won't stoop to your level," Old Qiao chuckled, then went back to drinking tea and eating peanuts and melon seeds.

"Wang Yan, tell me the truth! I'm not after your money, nor am I..." Ye Xiaolang stood up and actually pleaded with Wang Yan, desperately seeking any help he could find...

Things took an unexpected turn; the arrival of her parents and younger brother disrupted all her plans.

Upon learning of her parents' and brother's arrival, she went to the hotel the next day to find them, hoping to appease them and see what they were up to.

The purpose was made clear to Qiao Yicheng from the beginning: to arrange a job for Ye Xiaolang's younger brother, and then bring his wife over. Ye Xiaolang's parents didn't want anything; once their son's situation was settled, they would go back to farming.

In this respect, Ye Xiaolang's parents are quite capable. Knowing they wouldn't be well-liked, they wanted to make sure their son was well taken care of...

Ye Xiaolang believed that arranging a job for Wang Yan's younger brother wouldn't be difficult for the Qiao family; it would be a simple matter of a word. After all, as far as she knew, the Qiao and Qi families both had relatives and friends working at Jue Wei, and even some people from the same Sha Mao Lane worked there.

If he could arrange things for these strangers, there was no reason for Qiao Yicheng not to help his wife's younger brother, his own brother-in-law. It was just a matter of what position and how much he would get paid.

But Ye Xiaolang didn't want to give in to her parents' wishes so easily. Otherwise, once this precedent was set, they would have her completely under their thumb, constantly nagging and pestering her until she had to give in and pay them money.

So she refused immediately and without hesitation, recounting the hardships of the past years, condemning her parents' favoritism, and scolding her younger brother for being immature and unambitious. After two days of back-and-forth, she finally agreed to arrange a job for her brother.

Just as Ye Xiaolang had thought, Qiao Yicheng did not refuse this offer. Besides, he wasn't a leader, just a grassroots worker, so there was no need for Qiao Yicheng to refuse.

So Qiao Yicheng found Si Mei and sent the guy to the factory. But after only two days, the guy realized that the work was tiring and the pay was low, which was completely mismatched with the level of his good brother-in-law's family that he knew. Because of his good brother-in-law, he was very arrogant. As soon as he arrived at the factory, he tried to talk to the production team leader, disobeyed orders, and even got into a fight after being scolded.

So he came back, found his parents who hadn't left, and exaggerated the situation to them. Then he went to find Ye Xiaolang.

Following this, Ye Xiaolang tried to communicate with him again, wanting to give him some more money. However, she knew that it was absolutely impossible for him to be given a leadership position or any other position that controlled resources and money.

Of course, her wisdom stemmed not from correct understanding, but from her disgust for her family members. She didn't want them to take advantage of her or leech off her. If she were truly intelligent, why would she be so eager to resort to petty tricks?

But Ye Xiaolang's parents knew the difference between a full meal and a full meal every day. Besides, the amount of money they were offered wasn't much, so of course they disagreed and threatened to cause trouble at his workplace.

Having no other option, Ye Xiaolang tentatively tried to get Qiao Yicheng to arrange a slightly better job for her. However, she hadn't considered the inconsistency in her words. Initially, she said she would never compromise, then she conceded by offering to rent an apartment and arrange a job, and now she wanted to pay money to change jobs again.

So what was the point of all this fuss? Was everything before just a performance by Ye Xiaolang?

If Qiao Yicheng had been completely devoted to Ye Xiaolang before, then there would be no problem. But after numerous arguments, Qiao Yicheng was exhausted and clear-headed, leading him to re-examine the relationship, which exposed Ye Xiaolang's problems.

Qiao Yicheng refused, saying, "Sometimes I suspect you sent your parents and brother here." This was undoubtedly a sharp remark in their current relationship, which led to an even bigger argument. Stimulated, Ye Xiaolang also had nothing nice to say to her parents and brother who had caused all this, which angered them. They decided to go all out and force Qiao Yicheng to comply, going directly to his workplace.

After two more days of commotion, Qiao Yicheng finally couldn't take it anymore and wanted to divorce Ye Xiaolang. At this point, Ye Xiaolang panicked and brought her whole family to Old Qiao's house to beg for forgiveness and plead for sympathy.

Wang Yan waved his hand to interrupt Ye Xiaolang, and looked at Qiao Yicheng: "Are you really decided?"

"Things have come to this point, what other way is there? We can't force ourselves to stay together." Qiao Yicheng let out a sigh of relief.

"No, Yicheng, I can change it, I can change it all!" Ye Xiaolang's panic was impossible to hide.

“You’re a college student too. My brother said he can’t go on like this, you understand? What are you still doing here?” The four women all said with disdain. “Can’t you at least save some face? Why do you have to make such a scene?”

"I……"

Wang Yan waved his hand again, interrupting Ye Xiaolang: "Let's go back and calm down."

"Why should I?" Ye Xiaolang glared, his neck stiff. "I just don't understand, what did I say wrong? Why are you targeting me like this? Ever since I married Qiao Yicheng, you've never treated me like one of your own. You've all been thinking I'm taking advantage of your family, but have I really gained anything?"
You don't need to wave at me, Wang Yan, I just want to say it, I..."

Wang Yan said, "Ever since you stole Brother Yicheng's article, the two of you have no chance of a long-lasting relationship. In this world, character is very important. Don't talk about giving the editor's name to the article. Song Qingyuan is right. You didn't think much when you took the photo, you didn't think much when you submitted it, and you didn't think much when it was published. So when did you think much?"

As for what you said about what happened afterward, like taking advantage of someone else, you know best what you were thinking. Saying you didn't do it intentionally, saying you didn't mean it that way, is pointless. We're not the police investigating a case; we don't need to go through the formalities or prosecution. Go back now.”

"I..." Ye Xiaolang wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, but under Wang Yan's gaze, he swallowed back all the nonsense that was about to come out.

"Just because you're rich doesn't mean you can bully people like this! Don't you have any sense of reason? I know you're a gangster, but I'm not afraid of you. Let me tell you..."

On the other side, seeing that Ye Xiaolang had calmed down after just a few words, Ye Xiaolang's parents and younger brother started acting up, with the old man even lying on the ground and acting like a rogue.

Wang Yan didn't say a word, picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number, then sat down next to Lao Qiao and started eating peanuts and melon seeds. Lao Qiao even thoughtfully poured him a cup of tea, saying that the peanuts and melon seeds were too salty, and that the tea would help to balance them out...

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Ye Xiaolang's parents were throwing a tantrum and acting like scoundrels. Ye Xiaolang's younger brother, who still had some self-respect, couldn't say a word after a few sentences. Ye Xiaolang stood there blankly watching, perhaps still hoping that her parents might be able to sabotage her marriage...

Less than a minute later, a series of footsteps were heard, and then a group of people entered the Qiao family's old house, instantly filling the small courtyard.

"Send them out, send them all to Brother Yicheng's house, the address is..." Wang Yan looked at the frightened family with a smile, "They're already like this, so don't force them, go on, go on."

“One-tenth…” Ye Xiaolang’s eyes were filled with helplessness.

Wang Yan waved his hand, and two people came over and lifted Ye Xiaolang up from the left and right. Her parents and younger brother suffered the same fate. Amid the family’s cursing, struggling and kicking, and with the surrounding neighbors watching, the family was taken to several cars and then drove away in a flash.

A short while later, we heard Aunt Wu yelling and cursing outside.

"What are you all thinking? Calling the police! Wang Yan is a legitimate businessman. Do you really think he's some kind of gangster? Even if he is, with so many people watching, what if he gets into trouble? How will you explain that?"

……

"Oh dear, listen to this Aunt Wu, how good she is at currying favor. She has to shout so you can hear her, she's up to no good, she has ulterior motives!" Old Qiao spat out sunflower seed shells onto the ground.

"Don't make veiled accusations!" Qiao Yicheng said in a muffled voice, "I wouldn't have known he was this kind of person until it came to this."

Old Joe snorted and said nothing more.

Sanli said, "Wang Yan, what did you just say about stealing manuscripts?"

“Yes, when did this happen? How come we didn’t know?” Erqiang followed up with another question.

So Wang Yan explained the reason for whipping the corpse, and Qiao Yi sat there helplessly sighing. He was extremely upset at that moment.

The considerate members of the Qiao family stopped talking about the matter, and Si Mei changed the subject, saying, "Brother Yan, my sister said you were drinking with Brother Min and the others earlier."

"Of course, I ran back after eating only half of it."

"Perfect timing! We're here to drown our sorrows, and we haven't eaten at home in a while. Let's go buy groceries. You've got a lot of work to do, chef!"

Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "Sure, I haven't eaten enough yet."

"Come on, second brother, hurry up and drive me to buy groceries."

Qiao Yicheng sat there covering his face for a long while before raising his head: "Wang Yan..."

"I didn't say anything, don't try to extort me. Ye Xiaolang is your wife, and you're the one who's tired and upset, I'm not in any trouble. To be honest, I'm actually enjoying this. Just before I came here, Song Qingyuan was talking about how your father-in-law caused trouble at your workplace."

"Oh dear, Wang Yan..." Sanli glared at her, annoyed.

"It's okay, it's all my fault, it's all my fault..."

Qiao Yicheng sighed...
