CHAPTER 423: CHAPTER 340: THE GRASS ISN’T ALWAYS GREENER

"Yin Xian! You’re finally in front of me! There are things you don’t know! Our engagement was sabotaged by Ye Duowei! She’s the one who made that video!"

Wang Mei’s investigation was done in secret, so she didn’t know that Yin Xian already knew the whole story.

She thought that by saying this, Yin Xian would be extremely disgusted with Ye Duowei, making the next steps much easier.

Unfortunately, Yin Xian was indifferent and coldly retorted, "So, was she the one who forced you to make that video too?" How utterly shameless.

She and her mother are the same, both with skin as thick as the city walls.

A few days ago, Mrs. Wang actually found Yin Xian’s villa community and made a scene with the security guards, insisting on entering the Yin Family to have a good argument.

She was driven away in disgrace only after Yin Xuan and Yin Qi returned and countered her actions.

Who would have thought, just a few days later, the trouble would reach Ye Duowei here.

Yin Xian’s words left Wang Mei unable to refute. At the time, she was young and reckless and indeed did it willingly, never imagining it would become a stumbling block on her way to a wealthy life.

"Yin Xian! I know it was my fault! It was because I was young and immature! But even so, did it have to be broadcasted in public? What was your ex-wife thinking! Don’t you understand?

My mom impulsively hit her a few times only because she was really furious! If it weren’t for the fact that she was your ex-wife, I would have sued her a long time ago!"

Before Yin Xian could say anything, Tian Yaru, who had originally been pretending to be the weakling, exploded at her words, pointing at Wang Mei’s nose and cursing: "I get it now, it was you, slut, who did something shameful! My Weiwei kindly warned Yin Xian, fearing he’d be deceived! And you actually want to sue Weiwei! Fine! Go ahead! I’ll tell you this! We’re not afraid! Let’s see who ends up embarrassed!"

Tian Yaru was savvy enough to believe that this woman wouldn’t dare escalate the matter to court!

Otherwise, the first to be embarrassed wouldn’t be them, but herself!

For a woman, aren’t face and reputation the most important?

"Since your daughter has harmed me this way, what do I have to fear! But I reckon your daughter won’t have a good ending either! She dares to do anything to stop her ex-husband from getting engaged!"

Ye Duowei silently watched from the side, not speaking, wanting to see how Yin Xian would handle the situation.

From what she knew about Yin Xian, he probably already detested Wang Mei!

Tian Yaru was itching to hit her again: "You!"

Yin Xian sneered at Wang Mei: "Whether you sue or not is your business! But I’ll kindly remind you, every grievance has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor, at most Ye Duowei was just a pawn! You should go and ask your dear parents who they’ve offended!"

Wang Mei looked at Yin Xian incredulously: "You’re lying! There was video evidence left on site, it was Ye Duowei who disguised herself to sneak in! Clearly, she wanted to use this opportunity to ruin my reputation, preventing the engagement with you! What does it have to do with my parents?"

Wang Mei would die before believing this; such a clear motive! All the evidence pointed to Ye Duowei, who else could it be?

She knew her mother sometimes acted harshly and unreasonably, and her father was just a nice guy, surely not capable of holding such a grudge against someone?

Yin Xian said coldly: "This is the result of my investigation! If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do! That video was sent to Ye Duowei by mail! And she acted on a whim and did something wrong! But the root is still with your parents!"

Ye Duowei was extremely curious about who was behind such an incident.

How did they know of her relationship with Yin Xian?

This means the person must know them!

But who is this person?

Wang Mei tightened her fists, lacking confidence as she saw how serious Yin Xian seemed.

"I don’t believe it! This is impossible! Even if my parents had conflicts, why target me? Yin Xian, just tell the truth; you still love Ye Duowei, right? Otherwise, why would you protect her so earnestly?"

Tian Yaru and Ye Duowei exchanged a glance, was Yin Xian really thinking this way.

Yin Xian handed her a file folder: "This is the result from the private detective! Take a look and you’ll know!"

There were truths he didn’t want to speak, he never expected Wang Mei’s father, who seemed like a nice person, to be so unfaithful!

Wang Mei’s fingers trembled as she opened the file, her face growing darker the more she read. It detailed how her father kept a mistress outside, and after suffering a beating and humiliation by her mother, this mistress purposely investigated her family, seized the opportunity to meet her ex-boyfriend, pretended to date him, and then found that undeleted video on his computer.

Afterward, she mailed it to Ye Duowei, preparing two courses of action; if Ye Duowei didn’t go at the time, she would have gone herself!

Ye Duowei ended up acting as the pawn as planned. After the video incident, they broke up, and the mistress vanished.

How could her father be such a person? Wang Mei was somewhat in disbelief, her mother had always been the head of the family, and her father just obeying.

Yet someone was telling her a different story about her father, and because of what they did, she was to pay the price with her happiness?

Ye Duowei and Tian Yaru watched her curiously.

Only Yin Xian sat calmly on the side, staring out the window in deep thought.

Shortly after, Wang Mei finished reading the investigation report, her expression a colorful palette of emotions.

"Now do you know the truth?"

When Yin Xian first got the results, he was equally shocked, even more so to find out the mistress was Zhou Rou!

In such a short time, Zhou Rou had gotten herself to this point?

Father Wang was already fifty, was it money she was after?

But her plans were intricately clever, step by step linked; if not for his skilled private detective, perhaps no one would know she was the real mastermind!

Wang Mei, with a look of heartbreak, said, "This so-called truth still needs investigation! Yin Xian! Even if this is true, I’m also a victim! Don’t you have any..."

Yin Xian looked down on her: "You and your mother are both so shameless! Even now, you want to cling to me? Do you think I, Yin Xian, lack women?"

Even if he had to find one, it wouldn’t be someone like Wang Mei!

Wang Mei laughed sarcastically: "Oh, right! Who are you, how could you possibly lack women by your side! Can’t you see your ex-wife waiting eagerly for you? But I advise you, turnbacks are never a good meal! It might already be chewed up!"

Wang Mei gave a final venomous look at Ye Duowei; with Yin Xian present, she couldn’t bring out the photos, but she didn’t believe she couldn’t use them to threaten Ye Duowei.

Tian Yaru wanted to erupt again but was stopped by Ye Duowei’s call of "Mom!".

Wang Mei left, and Tian Yaru also tactfully found an excuse to get water and leave. Ye Duowei quickly spoke up, "Who exactly is that person?"

Yin Xian moved his lips with difficulty saying her name: "Zhou Rou!"

Ye Duowei covered her ears and screamed in silence, she never imagined being used by Zhou Rou! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
