the other side.
Ye Yan was driving the car, while Ye Lan, wearing a school uniform and holding a schoolbag, lazily sat in the passenger seat. Bai Jinyan was sitting in the back seat.
He didn't say much, just looked out the window, not knowing what he was thinking. Ye Lan in the front row couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother, are you really dating Sister Xu Ying? You don't want that married sister anymore?"
"Let me correct you again. She does have a name, Shu Nian. You can call her Sister Shu. Don't be so rude."
"Oh." Ye Lan responded awkwardly after being scolded. The next second, he blinked his eyes again, "What about my previous question, is it true? I heard that you and Sister Xu Ying have been in frequent contact these two days! Should I change my name to call her 'sister-in-law' later?"
"If you dare to scream, I will throw you out of the window right now." Ye Yan threatened.
“So fierce!” Ye Lan pursed his lips and stopped teasing.
——
When Ye Yan and his group arrived, the dishes were already on the table.
"Come and sit. I've saved a seat for you."
Bai Suye pointed to the empty seat beside him. Over there, Xu Ying was sitting on the other side. Xu Ying looked up and smiled at him. Ye Yan did not refuse, but walked over.
"Here." Xu Ying pushed the new dishes and chopsticks towards him.
Ye Yan took a look and leaned over slightly, "Have you told your dad?"
"What?" Xu Ying pretended not to understand.
Ye Yan glared at her, "Stop pretending!"
"Say I don't like you?"
Ye Yan said "hmm". This was the condition they had agreed on before.
Xu Ying smiled slightly, but this time, she didn't lower her voice, but spoke carelessly and openly: "Ye Yan, when we were classmates in school, I really didn't like you very much. However, after spending these two days together, I changed my mind!"
Everyone turned their eyes to Xu Ying. Everyone smiled, happy and pleased to see the success.
Only Ye Yan had a gloomy face.
Xu Ying had said before that if he spent her birthday with her, she would go back and make up a story about his faults so that both sides would give up the idea of bringing them together. He could also save himself a lot of trouble.
But now, this woman is clearly going back on her word.
Xu Ying raised her chin and said, "I like you very much now. I think you are a good person and not as bad as you look."
All the elders laughed. Xu Yiming said with a smile, "Don't mind this kid. My kid has had a boyish personality since childhood and has always been so straightforward. Yingying, you're a girl, why can't you be more reserved? How can you express your feelings like this?"
"Dad, this is not a confession, this is a declaration of sovereignty. Ye Yan, from today on, you are my boyfriend. Grandma, grandpa, uncles and aunts, you all have no objection, right?" Xu Ying is a rich girl who has been spoiled since she was a child. She has everything she wants and she does whatever she says. She is spoiled, but not arrogant. Instead, she is cute and straightforward. The elders nodded happily.
Only Ye Yan didn't give any face. He put his chopsticks on the table and said expressionlessly, "I'm full. You guys take your time eating."
"Stop!" Night Owl said, his tone cold and stern, "There are guests here, and you just leave like that? How can you be so arrogant!"
"You can let me stay, but I don't want to sit with someone who goes back on his word and has no credibility!" Ye Yan picked up Ye Lan and sat down in her seat without caring whether Ye Lan was willing or not. Ye Lan was full of complaints, but she didn't dare to say anything after seeing his cold expression.
"Ye Yan, what are you doing?" The old man also scolded. Everyone could hear clearly that his accusation of "going back on one's word and having no credibility" was directed at Xu Ying.
"I have something even more confusing to tell you today."
Everyone in the group looked at each other, and everyone had a very bad feeling. The old lady lowered her voice, tilted her head, and coaxed her grandson, "You have to consider what kind of occasion it is today. If you have more trouble, leave it for later. Let's eat first."
"Grandma, we can't keep this until we get home. I've been enduring it for several days." Ye Yan looked at the old lady.
The people from the Bai and Ye families didn't want this guy to speak. Once this guy opened his mouth, he would definitely say something shocking, but since he opened his mouth right on his face, could he still block it
Bai Jinyan also calmly supported, "If he wants to say something, let him say it. He is also a person who can't hold back his words, so if he holds it back for too long, he might develop other bad habits."
Ye Yan straightened his face, looked around at everyone, and finally, his eyes fell on the two elders in the family, "Grandma, Grandpa, didn't you two go to see a girl last time?"
The old man snorted, "Is that a girl?!"
She's already married!
The old man almost blurted out these words, but he swallowed them back because of the presence of Xu Yiming and Xu Ying.
"I know you care about what happened to her back then. But do you know why and how it happened? And... who made her become like that?"
When Ye Yan talked about this, his expression was complicated, mixed with heavy and strong guilt.
The Xu family father and daughter were confused. However, the others present were shocked by his series of questions and expressions.
The old man's eyes were stern. He stared at Ye Yan with his majestic eyes, "Ye Yan, you bastard, if you dare to say it was you—"
"Five years ago, I took advantage of her being unconscious and raped her, which led to her ectopic pregnancy..." Ye Yan finally spoke, and with just one simple sentence, he explained the whole thing clearly.
This is simply a depth bomb.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned for a long while, unable to believe it.
This is more than just a shocking statement. It is simply...
"Asshole!"
“Despicable!”
“Shameless!”
"shameless!"
Everyone spoke a word and cursed loudly.
The next moment, the old man and Ye Xiao stood up almost at the same time, one holding a cane, the other picked up the chair under him, and walked towards Ye Yan aggressively. Both of them had solemn faces, and their eyes were red with anger. I didn't get angry to death by this kid, I'm already healthy!
Ye Yan was also very strong-willed. He sat there with his body tense and did not move.
When Bai Jinyan saw the situation, he pushed him and opened the door.
The old lady shouted, "Jinyan, if you dare to help Ye Yan today, your grandfather and uncle will teach you a lesson as well!"
Bai Jinyan could only close the door again and glanced at Ye Yan, "Be patient, I'm afraid this beating will not be light."
"Um."
—
then…
In the box, one could only hear muffled groans one after another, how miserable it could be. Bai Suye always felt sorry for her son, but today, no matter how Ye Yan was beaten, she pretended not to see it.
