My whole family treats me like a dog, but this time I will never turn back!

Chapter 515 Perhaps, this is the price of adulthood!

In the office, Ye Ke'er saw Ye Ruqing preparing to take a nap. Ye Ruqing looked very different from before, as if she had seen through many things and her mood had improved a lot!

"Sister, why are you doing this? We're family, there's no need for such a big disagreement!"

Ye Ke'er sat down next to Ye Ruqing and advised, "I know you're upset about Xiao Xu's attitude towards you, but Xiao Xu has been in a bad mood lately, so please be understanding!"

After saying that, she went on to tell everyone what had happened in the meeting room!

"Xiao Xu is under a lot of pressure. He's always wanted to surpass Ye Jianchen, but he just can't!"

Ye Ke'er sighed, clearly unwilling to accept it: "Ye Jianchen is too amazing, how come he can't break down!"

"Ke'er, you treat Ye Xu like family, but he doesn't see you as his older sister. As for Ye Jianchen? His business empire is so interconnected, how could it possibly collapse!"

Ye Ruqing, showing no consideration for Ye Ke'er's good intentions, said with a smile, "Actually, Ye Xu would rather die than admit that Ye Jianchen is more capable than him. Besides, everyone knows that this is a feud between Ye Jianchen, Ye Xu, and Liang Caili, so why should I get involved and get involved in this mess?"

"Let them fight it out, what's it to me!"

"He throws a tantrum in front of me after losing; am I supposed to tolerate that?"

"Ke'er, let me tell you the truth, I'd love for Ye Jianchen to bring down Ye Xu. Because Ye Xu is such a scoundrel. Right now, Ye Jianchen is keeping an eye on him, but if Ye Jianchen falls one day, Ye Xu will be after us!"

Ye Ke'er remained silent after hearing this, and for some reason, she became very unhappy. She glared at Ye Ruqing!

Ye Ruqing knew that what she said was not what Ye Ke'er wanted to hear, but she didn't care. She lowered her office chair and lay down for a lunch break!

Seeing Ye Ruqing's expression, Ye Ke'er had no choice but to leave with a cold face!

After Ye Ke'er left, Ye Ruqing opened her eyes!

She could actually sense that because of Ye Jianchen, she and Ye Ke'er seemed to be drifting further and further apart. Many times, she couldn't feel that Ye Ke'er was her sister, or even a friend. Instead, she felt like a stranger!

For example, when Ye Xu forced her to pour drinks for her friends, Ye Ke'er remained completely indifferent throughout!

This wasn't the first or second time this had happened, and Ye Ruqing had been heartbroken many times!

"Looking back on our childhood, my sisters and I were so close, but now that we're grown up..."

"Perhaps, this is the price of adulthood!"

Ye Ruqing murmured to herself, and of course, she admitted that she had changed too!

She used to be the head of the Ye Group, decisive and efficient in her work. But after experiencing one storm after another, she has become timid and indecisive.

Now, she no longer seems like a strong woman, but more like an ordinary woman!

However, she admitted that all of this changed after Ye Jianchen left!

"Wanrou once said that Ye Jianchen was not the culprit who ruined the Ye family; on the contrary, he was the guardian of the Ye family. With him around, the Ye family could remain united and peaceful!"

"I'm starting to accept that now!"

Ye Ke'er suddenly realized that among the girls in the Ye family, Ye Yuxuan was the first to react!

Next up might be Ye Wanrou!

She was last!

As for Ye Ke'er?

She knew she was wrong, but she kept deceiving herself and was just going down a dead end!

"However, all of that gradually became irrelevant to me, because she was the most important person!"

Ye Ruqing gently stroked her belly, her eyes shining!

This is the child she has been waiting for for many years!

With children, do power struggles, interests, and wealth still matter?

At this moment, Ye Xu returned to his office and angrily swept the expensive vases and other items off the table to the ground!

"Ye Ruqing, you don't even respect me anymore!"

"I know she hates me for monopolizing all the power, but does she know that even I can't do anything to Ye Jianchen? She, a defeated opponent of Ye Jianchen, thinks she can beat him?"

"Only I can trample Ye Jianchen under my feet!"

"These people in the Ye family, they're all self-serving. Ye Ke'er wants to use my power to deal with Ye Jianchen, and Ye Ruqing wants to fight Ye Jianchen to the death so she can reap the benefits!"

"They're dreaming!"

Ye Xu's expression was ferocious, hysterical and crazed!

"Young Master Ye, please don't get agitated. Ye Ruqing poses no threat to you. A young master will always be a young master; no one can threaten you!"

Uncle Wu knew Ye Xu was in a bad mood, so he could only offer a wry smile and try to comfort him. However, due to his status, there were many things he couldn't say openly.

Ye Xu glanced at Uncle Wu, knowing that Uncle Wu had something to say, but the powerful families had taboos that prevented him from speaking freely!

Although he was very anxious, all he could do was wait; some answers would come to light sooner or later!

"Uncle Wu, I'm going to rest for a bit. I have a dinner appointment later!"

Ye Xu was so tired that he rested in the office!

An afternoon passed quietly. Ye Xu woke up feeling quite refreshed and called Ma Zijun and Liu Jianquan to invite them to dinner, where they agreed on a meeting place.

Not long after, the Yutang Chunnuan Restaurant opened!

This restaurant offers the most authentic Cantonese cuisine. It is a high-end, long-established brand that has hosted numerous dignitaries and celebrities. It also offers a high degree of privacy!

Ye Xu waited in the private room. Not long after, Ma Zijun arrived and exchanged a few polite words with Ye Xu.

Furthermore, Ma Zijun inquired about the Di Chen clothing matter. Although Ye Xu felt embarrassed, he still explained the details. After listening, Ma Zijun felt regretful, thinking that she hadn't been able to cause trouble for Ye Jianchen!

He then reminded Ye Jianchen that Lu Yanyun had somehow persuaded the elders of the Lu family to come to the south again!

Upon hearing this bad news, Ye Xu's face immediately darkened. He needed to focus on dealing with Ye Jianchen, but with Ye Ruqing causing trouble and now Lu Yanyun joining the fray, things were going to get interesting!

At this moment, Liu Quanjian also arrived!

"Young Master Liu, please have a seat!"

Ye Xu gestured for Liu Jianquan to sit down, then winked at Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan quietly made a phone call, and soon after, the door to the private room was pushed open, and Tao Xingyun and Ye Ruqing walked in!

Ye Ruqing originally didn't want to attend the dinner, but Ye Kai called her and asked her to come. Ye Ruqing felt guilty towards Ye Kai, so she had no choice but to agree!

Tao Xingyun's purpose in coming here was, of course, to see Liu Quanjian!

Liu Quan's face turned very ugly the moment he saw Tao Xingyun!

These past few days, he has watched those videos and news repeatedly, and the more he watches, the more painful it becomes. He has completely given up on Tao Xingyun!

The reason he is still staying in mainland China is not because of Tao Xingyun, but because of Ye Jianchen!

"Why did you bring her here just to have a meal!"

Liu Quanjian picked up his teacup, lowered his head, and took a sip!

"Young Master Liu, it's all a misunderstanding!"

Tao Xingyun felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart when she saw Liu Jianquan's attitude towards her!

Her reputation is completely ruined. She has to wear sunglasses and a mask when she goes out, and she has been summoned by the police several times. There are several unsolved cases, and the police suspect that she is a suspect!

Tao Xingyun was really suffering back then!

She's so cute and pretty, yet she's mistaken for a psychopathic killer!

Despite Ye Xu's efforts to suppress the negative news and his public statement that it was due to the script, the effect was not significant!
