Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

In fact, Ye Jiu'an knew that her father did not have any illegitimate children outside the marriage.

Although Ye's father and mother couldn't divorce, and couldn't stand her having affairs outside, Ye Jiu'an was very outstanding. In addition, a tragic incident had occurred in the eldest branch of the Ye family—the illegitimate son and the biological son fought to the death and eventually both died. Ye Jiu'an's uncle was happy to have several sons when he was young, but when he got old, none of them inherited the family business. He wanted to have more children, but it was too late. He suffered a stroke and became paralyzed due to anger and stress.

Seeing the tragedy in his elder brother's family, Ye's father only had affairs outside the marriage, but did not have any illegitimate children.

It's all thanks to the eldest son's family that Ye's father might have had an illegitimate child. Although Ye Jiu'an has plenty of tricks and cunning, and isn't afraid of his father having an illegitimate child, it's better if no one competes with him for the child.

Ye Jiu'an knew that her father didn't have any illegitimate children, but her mother only knew how to get beauty treatments and buy clothes, bags, and jewelry all day long. She didn't know that her father didn't have any illegitimate children outside. So when she heard Ye Jiu'an say this, she was immediately frightened. She thought that if the mistress's child inherited their family's property, would the mistress's family still tolerate her existence? If her husband died, she would be sent back home and lose her support. How could that be? She had been used to a life of luxury since she was a child, and she couldn't stand not having money.

Originally, Ye's mother was angry that he had put aside his busy work to protect Li Linlang, but after hearing her son say this, she was really afraid that he would kill her and leave her destitute in her old age. So she grabbed her handbag, snorted, and left.

In her youth, in an effort to keep her husband's heart, she would often let her young child get leukemia so that he would come back to be with the child—in reality, she just wanted him to be with her. At that time, she wasn't afraid of killing her only son, because she was still young then, and if she killed one child, she could have another.

But now, she is old, and her husband has never looked for her again. So if this excellent son dies, she will have no chance to have children again, and then the illegitimate son will take over. What chance will she have then? So naturally, she is afraid.

After Ye Jiu'an saw that his mother had left, he said to Linlang, "I'm sorry you were scolded. I have already told the housekeeper not to let her in again."

Linlang shook her head and said, "Don't worry, she's just being unreasonable and doesn't really have any skills. She's easy to deal with. It's you who's suffering because you have a mother like that."

Even though Ye Jiu'an is all grown up now and no longer afraid of her, he was once a child too. One can imagine what kind of life a child would have under the care of such an emotionally unstable mother.

Ye Jiu'an shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Otherwise, how would I have gotten this insomnia? With a mother like this, anxiety is inevitable."

He wasn't the type to complain about his troubles to everyone, but under Linlang's gentle gaze, he couldn't help but recount how Ye's mother had made him sick and almost killed him countless times when he was a child, which then attracted his father back. Linlang was shocked when she heard this.

She had already guessed that Ye Jiu'an's childhood must have been difficult under the care of her mother, but she hadn't expected it to be this bad. This made her even more disgusted with Ye's mother, and she resolved that she would not give her a kind look whenever she saw her in the future. After all, such a beast who abuses children would be imprisoned in many places.

Today, she only spared her because Ye's mother was Ye Jiu'an's mother. If she had known that she had abused Ye Jiu'an like this, she should have beaten her up and subdued her with force instead of reasoning with her.

She had traveled the world and seen many parents mistreat their children, but such abuse of one's own child, especially starting from infancy, was truly rare. After all, even the most vicious person wouldn't eat their own cubs. This mother, Ye, appeared gentle and weak, but she was unexpectedly so cruel, capable of so brutally harming a small child. Generally speaking, human infants are adorable, and it's difficult for most people to be heartless towards them. But this seemingly gentle and weak mother, who always wore a bitter expression of being bullied, possessed such a cruel heart, capable of murdering such an adorable child. It was utterly devoid of conscience. It was only because the Ye family didn't pursue the matter that such behavior would have landed her in jail.

Linlang couldn't help but ask Ye Jiu'an, "Didn't your father know that your illness was caused by her? If he had known, wouldn't he have told the police about it and had her locked up?"

Ye Jiu'an said with a wry smile, "The Ye family's daughter-in-law abused the child and was locked up. This is a huge scandal that would cause the Ye family's stock to plummet. So how could the Ye family call the police for this? Of course, my father doesn't know either. When I was very young, I felt sorry for my mother and was tormented by her, so naturally I wouldn't tell my father about it. Later, I realized that my mother didn't deserve sympathy and stopped getting sick after she stopped cooperating, so I stopped telling my father. By then, I had gradually grown up and knew that for the sake of the Ye family's interests, even if I had told my father about it, he would probably have scolded my mother in private at most, but he definitely wouldn't have called the police to deal with her. Since that's the case, there's no need to say anything. So later, I just stayed away from their filthy family."

Linlang said, "I thought you were under a lot of pressure and had insomnia because you were managing so many things, but it turns out there are other reasons as well."

Having been treated this way since childhood, her personality is bound to be wary, so it's extremely simple that Jian Rong couldn't defeat Ye Jiu'an.

After this incident, Ye's mother was probably frightened by Ye Jiu'an's claim that Ye's father might have an illegitimate child. She no longer dared to oppose Ye Jiu'an marrying Linlang. She was afraid that without Linlang's help to help him sleep, Ye Jiu'an might die from sleep deprivation one day, allowing the illegitimate child to take over the family property. So no matter how much she disliked Linlang, she stopped bothering her.

When Linlang went to the Ye family to discuss marriage, she ran into Ye's mother, but Ye's mother didn't dare to say anything inappropriate.

It's fortunate that Ye's mother didn't cause trouble for Linlang. Otherwise, if she had, given how she had mistreated Ye Jiu'an before, Linlang would have definitely given her a good beating to avenge herself and Ye Jiu'an.

Since Ye's mother stopped objecting, Linlang's marriage to Ye Jiu'an proceeded smoothly.

Linlang immediately told the original owner's parents about the news.

When Li's parents heard that Linlang was getting married, they were taken aback.

Although they had asked Linlang before if she was dating, she had always said no. Why is she suddenly getting married? Shouldn't they date first before getting married?

Fortunately, Linlang explained that she was marrying Ye Jiu'an, who had been exposed online before. She said that the two had been together before, but she was not sure if she would marry Ye Jiu'an, so she told them that she was not dating. In fact, they were already dating at that time.

This was, of course, just an excuse she made to cover up her whirlwind marriage with Ye Jiu'an, but it clearly worked well. Li's parents accepted it instantly, thinking that if what had been exposed online was true, then it wouldn't be considered a sudden marriage. (End of Chapter)
