After the divorce, the aloof female CEO was filled with regret.

Ye Zhenguo pointed at me directly, his facial expression exaggerated like he was acting, his words full of belittling, as if I had a deep grudge against him and wasn't his biological son at all.

Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh. My eyes instantly sharpened, and I no longer wanted to hide it.

"Ye Zhenguo, don't take yourself too seriously. We both know perfectly well that I've contributed a lot to the Ye family's success today. To put it bluntly, half of the Ye family's empire was built by me."

Those words stunned everyone around, who hadn't expected me to be so direct. Ye Zhenguo was so angry his chest trembled.

"You unfilial son, what are you saying? I haven't even reached the point of abdication yet, and you're already in a hurry to seize power? Dream on!"

I sneered and replied, "In this family, when have my wife and I not always been the ones who put in the most effort? It's better for me to take back what's rightfully mine than for you to use it to support other women."

My aunt and Ye Zhenguo's faces instantly turned ugly, and I was about to add insult to injury.

"You've been keeping a mistress for over twenty years. You turn bad when you have money, and your nature remains unchanged even when you don't. You're hopeless, utterly disgusting!"

"And your mistress, she's still with the wife and she's already eager to come in, how despicable. Auntie, don't you think so?"

Upon hearing this, Auntie and Ye Zhenguo's faces turned completely dark.

"You unfilial son!" Ye Zhenguo was furious, almost losing control. I knew in my heart that if I weren't still somewhat useful, he would have already attacked me. "Say that again and see if I don't slap you!"

The aunt couldn't keep up the act any longer and hurriedly retorted, "Ye Qiu, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly be a mistress!"

I smiled slowly and said, "This isn't something I made up; Jingxiu told me it himself."

Suddenly brought up, Li Jingxiu looked flustered and quickly waved his hands to deny it: "Mom, I didn't, I didn't say anything!"

Upon seeing this situation, Ye Zhenguo immediately sided with Li Jingxiu and was about to get angry at me, but I spoke first.

"Check your phone first, figure out the situation before you get angry."

Ye Zhenguo was so angry he looked like Guan Yu, his face turning red, but he still gritted his teeth and clicked on the recording I sent him.

That recording, I secretly made it when I bumped into Li Jingxiu at the restaurant last time. In it, Li Jingxiu let slip that Ye Zhenguo and his aunt had that ambiguous relationship.

Upon hearing this, their faces turned ashen, as if they had swallowed flies.

The two of them stared at Li Jingxiu in unison, their gazes were simply... well, let's just say they were intense!

Li Jingxiu was so frightened that he seemed to have lost his soul, and hurriedly explained, "Mom, Uncle, I was tricked, I really didn't mean to! I really didn't tell the whole story!"

Aunt's face was so ugly it looked like it could be wrung out, and Ye Zhenguo was so angry he was panting heavily, his eyes almost bulging out of their sockets.

He yelled at me, "Delete that recording!"

Before I could even say a word, my aunt rushed in front of me, snatched my phone, and swiftly threw it into the fish tank.

The phone sank to the bottom with a thud. My aunt fished it out again to check, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the screen was completely black.

Ye Zhenguo and Li Jingxiu also breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had survived a disaster.

I stood there watching them busy themselves, and shook my head with a smile.

"The recording has all fallen through, what are you still so smug about?" Li Jingxiu's words suddenly hardened.

I laughed: "Are you guys stupid? How could I not make a backup of something this important?"

Upon hearing this, the three people who had just relaxed became tense again, like taut strings.

Sweat dripped from Ye Zhenguo's forehead, his face flushed with anger, and he raised his hand to hit me.

I looked at him and said, "If you dare to lay a finger on me today, I guarantee that within three minutes, the whole company will know about your little affair with your aunt. You've gone to so much trouble to hide it, aren't you just afraid of losing face and affecting your position as the boss?"

"I've put up with this for over twenty years. You want to hit me? Fine, but you're not the one who deserves it. You want to mess with me? Just you try!"

The slap finally landed, the resounding sound echoing through the villa.

As it turned out, it was Li Jingxiu who got slapped. Ye Zhenguo's slap was merciless and full of force.

"Ouch!" Li Jingxiu cried out in pain, staggering and falling to the ground. A conspicuous red handprint instantly appeared on his face, swelling up so quickly that it was visible to the naked eye.

"Jingxiu!" His aunt trembled with heartache and rushed over to check on his injuries.

"Mom, it hurts so much!" Tears streamed down Li Jingxiu's face. Seeing this, his aunt felt heartbroken and turned to Ye Zhenguo, yelling, "Ye Zhenguo, what's wrong with you! Hitting my son, are you trying to break my heart?"

Ye Zhenguo's eyes turned red with anger, and he roared through gritted teeth, "Look what he's done! Didn't you listen to that recording? Is this the good son you raised?"

"How can you blame Jingxiu?" My aunt glared at me, placing all her dissatisfaction on me. "Look at your son, how cunning and eloquent he is. Jingxiu is simple-minded; how could he possibly be a match for him?"

Upon hearing this, I flew into a rage. I strode forward and, without saying a word, began to slap my aunt's face repeatedly until my hand went numb. Yet, I felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

This day, this scene, is what I have dreamed of in my past and present lives.

If the law doesn't intervene, I really want to take care of this man and woman myself!

My mother has taken care of my father her whole life. For the sake of this family, she has become a haggard old woman.

When we were poor, she had to be my dad's punching bag when she was sick; now that we have money, she still has to work day and night to take care of my dad, do housework, and look after me.

My aunt got pregnant out of wedlock and came to my mother to complain. My mother was soft-hearted and took her home. She took care of her for twenty years and was still thinking about us until she passed away.

My mom told me that my aunt is the person in the world most likely to take care of me besides herself, even my dad is unreliable.

So in my past life, I was obedient and treated my aunt and cousin very well. But later I found out that my aunt and my father had been having an affair, and Li Jingxiu was their illegitimate son!

At that moment, fueled by Jiang Yuwei's disgust and hatred towards me, I personally destroyed the home I once loved so deeply, and shattered my father's unrealistic fantasies.

What I regret most is that my aunt actually ran away with my father's money and Li Jingxiu, which became a pain I could never let go of in my past life.

My mother's whole life seemed to be lived for others.

She served another woman's husband and even helped raise his illegitimate child. What's even more ridiculous is that she treated that mistress like a younger sister for her entire life.

My mother is always doing the work for others, and even I, her son, have never given her a moment's peace. I even had a huge fight with Jiang Yuwei because of my pursuit of her... I swear to settle all these family scores!

My aunt was so dizzy from my barrage of beatings and scoldings that she almost collapsed to the ground, her face burning with pain. She stared at me with wide eyes, as if she couldn't believe she had been hit.

"How...how dare you hit me?" Her voice trembled.

"So what if I hit you? Shouldn't you have hit me?" My eyes were bloodshot, I was burning with anger, and my voice carried a hint of loss of control that I myself was unaware of.

I held her shoulders down tightly, using the difference in strength between men and women to prevent her from breaking free, and then delivered several more heavy slaps.

"You're just a mistress, what right do you have to swagger around in front of me? Just because you're my aunt, my elder? Bah! You stole my own sister's boyfriend, you're more despicable and disgusting than any other mistress in the world! You're more repulsive than maggots in a cesspool!" I roared angrily, each word seemingly squeezed out from between my teeth.
