Chapter 397: Chapter 397: Not Leaving Him a Single Penny

Ye Jinyu was not good at arguing or debating, so Xin Xin immediately overwhelmed her, leaving her speechless and unable to say anything.

Just as she was stunned, a cold voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Where do you get the audacity to lecture my mom about being generous and kind? You, a homewrecker, dare to say such a thing?"

Ye Jinyu turned around and looked at her daughter, "Xiaoyi, why did you come down here? I..."

Ye Chuyi walked up to her and took her hand, "Mom, you go home first, I’ll handle this person."

Even though Ye Jinyu was not good at quarreling, she didn’t want to leave all the trouble to her daughter alone, so she stayed and silently moved next to her.

When Xin Xin saw her approaching, she immediately stood up, but her tone became even more pitiful, "Miss Ye, I’m sorry for misspeaking, but I had no ill intent. I’m just begging you, please don’t take away my only house. I don’t mind being homeless, but I have a son, and he’s only one year old. He surely can’t be homeless with me—it would be too cruel."

As she spoke, she began to cry while holding her son.

Seeing her cry, the child also began to cry.

For a moment, the scene looked rather pitiful.

But Ye Chuyi was unmoved, "When you were with Wen Xingye, why didn’t you think about how pitiful his wife was? You knew he had a wife and kid, yet you still chose to have his illegitimate child, what intentions could possibly justify that?"

"Don’t think that you can manipulate my mom by holding your child and playing the victim in front of her—it won’t work! Now, I’m the one making the decisions at home, and don’t even think about getting that villa. I won’t give you a single brick!"

Xin Xin turned noticeably pale, "Miss Ye, no matter what, Yangyang is your biological brother. Even if I did something wrong, he is innocent. You can’t be so heartless towards your own sibling. He’s young now, but in the future, he will be your greatest support!"

Ye Chuyi sneered, "Stop trying to glamorize yourself and this illegitimate child. I don’t even recognize Wen Xingye, why would I recognize a child he had on the side? If you keep causing a scene here with the child, I won’t hesitate to turn you into a penniless beggar."

"What are you going to do? Are you going to take all my money?"

"Is that your money? That’s my mom’s money. I suggest you return it voluntarily as soon as possible, otherwise, I might have to take serious actions."

Overwhelmed, Xin Xin took a step back. She had witnessed how Ye Chuyi dealt with Wen Xingye—she even dared to cut his hand directly!

She didn’t really come today with the hope of getting the villa back; she just came to test Ye Chuyi’s stance.

Now, seeing her so defiant, Xin Xin didn’t dare linger any longer and quickly left with her son.

After she left, Ye Chuyi turned to Ye Jinyu, "Mom, you don’t need to deal with her in the future. If she harasses you, just call me. She’s very afraid of me, and it’s easy for me to handle her."

Ye Jinyu looked at her daughter’s young face, her expression complex. Her daughter was strong, stronger than she had imagined, whereas she herself was weak, weaker than she had thought.

To drive away her husband’s mistress, she had to rely on her daughter; she felt utterly useless.

Even just now, when that girl cried while holding her child, she felt a moment of soft-heartedness.

If it weren’t for her daughter being so resolute and tough, they might never have gotten the villa back.

"Xiaoyi, thank you."

"It’s nothing big, really. You should head home now!"

Ye Chuyi smiled at her, escorted her to the parking lot, watched as she got into the car, and waited for the driver to drive her away before she returned to her office.

Once in the office, Ye Chuyi called Ivy, "Have you figured out all the assets Wen Xingye hid over the years?" noveldrama

"Boss, we’re still looking. He’s hidden a lot, including overseas properties, so it’s challenging."

"Hurry it up. Once we’ve nailed it down, take everything back. Don’t leave him a single penny!"

"Yes, boss!"

"And investigate his mistress too, make her cough up all the money she spent over the years."

"Yes!"
