Chu Mofan watched all this indifferently, without stepping forward to persuade his mother.

Despite the excruciating pain in her head, Zheng Juan knelt down in front of Wang Lijun with a thud, bowing her head slightly. "Auntie, I'm sorry."

"What a useless piece of trash!!" Wang Lijun was furious, pointing at Zheng Juan's nose and cursing, "You've been in the Ye family for so long and haven't made any progress! You've been fooling around with other men outside! And they caught you red-handed! In the end, you didn't get a single penny! And you've earned a reputation as a slut! What else can you do?!"

While berating Zheng Juan, Wang Lijun poked her forehead with her finger, "I raised you for over 20 years for nothing! Is this how you repay me?! You're a worthless piece of trash! An ingrate! Calling you useless is too kind! You're not even as good as a piece of trash! Just like your dead mother!"

Zheng Juan clenched her fists so tightly her nails dug deep into her flesh, but she felt no pain. She hated Wang Lijun, hated Chu Mofan, and hated her own mother even more! Why had she entrusted her to such a person before she died?! She might as well have taken her with her to die!

After a barrage of insults, Wang Lijun calmed down a little, sat back on the sofa, and gently rubbed her temples. She glanced sideways at Zheng Juan, who was kneeling on the floor, and said with a hint of threat in her voice, "Juanjuan, I'm giving you one last chance. If you fail again, you know where you'll end up, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zheng Juan shivered and lowered her head even further. She knew that if she failed again this time, she would be sent to that hellish place where life was worse than death.

Suppressing her fear and resentment, she pleaded in a trembling voice, "Auntie, I know what I should do. I won't let you down this time."

Wang Lijun gave a cold smile, then looked at Chu Mofan and Zheng Juan meaningfully, "Who do you two think was behind today's Ye family incident?"

Zheng Juan lowered her eyes, glanced at Chu Mofan, and seeing that he didn't intend to speak, she said, "I think it's Ye Xingyu."

In truth, Zheng Juan wasn't sure who it was. Based on her understanding of Ye Xingyu, she figured he wouldn't even discover her infidelity. But when Ye Xingyu slammed her hotel booking records in front of her, she felt an unprecedented sense of estrangement towards him.

Chu Mofan frowned slightly and remained silent. He had a vague feeling that this matter was related to Ye Xinghe, but he couldn't figure out how Ye Xinghe knew about Zheng Juan's affair, or where that video came from.

Yes, video!

Chu Mofan looked sharply at Zheng Juan, "The video that was played today clearly showed there was a third person in the room! What exactly happened that day?"

Zheng Juan opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time. Discussing her indecent video in front of her younger brother, who was about the same age as her, was something she found very difficult to talk about.

Looking at Zheng Juan's appearance, Wang Lijun's eyes were filled with disgust, and she flew into a rage again, "You've already done it! Your body has been seen naked in front of everyone! Now you know you have a sense of shame!"

Zheng Juan blushed, took a deep breath, and stammered out what had happened that day.

When she described the appearance of the man who broke into the room and filmed the video, Chu Mofan's gaze suddenly turned cold. How come he sounded so much like that waiter at the bar! He had investigated that person before, but hadn't found any information!

If the first time was a coincidence, then adding Zheng Juan this time makes it anything but simple. If it wasn't Ye Xinghe, then there must be another group involved!

Chu Mofan was lost in thought when Wang Lijun suddenly interrupted him, "Mofan, just because I didn't say anything to you this time doesn't mean your recent performance has been good!"

Wang Lijun closed her eyes slightly and gently rubbed her temples, her tone tinged with anger, "You need to speed things up with that girl Ye Xinghe. What did that woman Mu Jinyue say when you delivered the gift today?"

Chu Mofan's face paled slightly, and he slowly replied, "Yes, I will speed up the process. Mu Jinyue seems to like it very much."

Wang Lijun gazed intently at her beloved son, her sharp eyes seeming to see through everything. "I know you have many women outside. But from now on, cut them all off! Don't even think about having any ulterior motives! I'll say it again, your primary task now is to win over Ye Xinghe! Once you have the Ye family's assets, you can do whatever you want with them! Remember what I said!"

Chu Mofan lowered his eyes and nodded with a slightly somber expression.

Wang Lijun then turned the conversation back to Zheng Juan, "What are you planning to do now? Go through with the divorce proceedings tomorrow? Or are you planning to delay for a few more days?"

A glint of light flashed in Zheng Juan's eyes as she revealed her plan.

Inside the Ye family villa.

After Ye's parents went upstairs, only the three siblings remained in the living room. After Qiao Lin threw Zheng Juan out the door, Ye Xinghe told her to go back to her room to rest.

"Big brother, don't be too upset." Ye Xinghe looked at Ye Xingyu's worried face and gently patted his back to comfort him. "Big brother, what do you want to do now? Second brother and I will keep you company! Didn't you always want that ridiculously expensive computer? I'll ask second brother to buy it for you!"

Ye Xingchen, who had been fiddling with his phone the whole time, looked up and glared at Ye Xinghe when he heard this.

Ye Xingyu gave a wry smile and said slowly, "I'm fine. Hehe, thank you for today."

He looked up at Ye Xinghe, his eyes shining with a clear and gentle light. "You got today's video, didn't you? And last time you deliberately arranged for me to pick you up, didn't you?"

Ye Xinghe looked like she'd been caught red-handed. There was no need to hide it any longer, so she stammered, "Big brother, I... I just... didn't want you to be fooled by Zheng Juan."

Ye Xingyu smiled slightly and casually patted Ye Xinghe's head. "I'm not blaming you, big brother. I'm just upset because I messed up Mom's birthday party today."

Ye Xinghe said with concern, "Big brother, I'm not very good at comforting people, but please don't think like that. Mom definitely won't blame you."

Ye Xingchen glanced at Ye Xinghe from the side and said inappropriately, "What Big Brother means is that Mom will blame you. After all, you're the one who messed it up."

Ye Xinghe grabbed a cushion and threw it at her. Suddenly, an idea struck her. "How about we celebrate Mom's birthday again now! Just the five of us!"

Before her two older brothers could even agree, Ye Xinghe jumped up from the sofa and started assigning tasks. "Big brother, that birthday cake only has two layers cut, there are still three untouched layers underneath. Go and fix them, make them look nice. Second brother, stop playing on your phone and go to the kitchen to cook Mom a bowl of longevity noodles."
