Captured Hearts: The Substitute Bride’s Gambit

Chapter 398: Chapter 398: Living too Shabbily

A week later, Wen Xingye was released from the detention center.

As soon as he got out, he was shocked to find that his carefully hidden assets had all been dug out, with properties frozen and companies seized, even his own company was now under Ye Chuyi’s control. During his detention, his employees had turned against him, and now they only recognized Ye Chuyi, and no longer acknowledged him as their boss!

He returned "home" and looked at the small 120-square-meter apartment rented by his mistress, both angry and heartbroken: "This is too much, absolutely too much! Ye Jinyu, Ye Chuyi, you are so cruel, I’m not done with you!"

Tears streamed down Xin Xin’s face: "Xingye, what are we going to do now? The villa has been taken away, even your company is controlled by your daughter, we have no source of income, what will we eat and drink?" noveldrama

"I might be okay," she continued, "but what about Yangyang? He is only one year old, is he supposed to live in such a small house and endure such a hard life? There’s not even a floor-to-ceiling window here, living here long-term will be detrimental to his physical and mental health."

"Think of something quickly, if it comes to it, go beg Sister Ye, coax her good, admit your mistakes, apologize, she’s so kind, she will forgive you. I think, as long as she forgives you, she won’t be angry with me anymore, and won’t think about driving us, mother and child, to our deaths."

As she cried, one-year-old Wen Yang also began crying, the big and the small crying together, breaking Wen Xingye’s heart.

Holding his son in one arm and his pitiful mistress in the other, he said angrily: "I’m not wrong, why should I apologize to her? She’s kind my ass, it’s all an act! If she were truly kind, how could she not tolerate you and your son!"

Previously, Xin Xin would have been pleased had Wen Xingye spoken this way about his wife, but now she couldn’t feel happy about it.

Because if Wen Xingye refused to apologize to Ye Jinyu, he wouldn’t be able to gain any benefits in the future, nor get Ye Jinyu’s money, and without money, she and her son couldn’t live well.

She quickly said: "Calm down for a moment, regardless of whether you want to apologize, you must apologize. Get back the house and your company first! Our family can’t keep living in such a small place, it’s too shabby, it doesn’t suit your status!"

Wen Xingye almost instantly understood her intent, she was asking him to bow his head first to get back what was theirs.

His expression changed for a while, then finally he said, "Alright, let’s get the villa and the company back first, I can deal with them later!"

Xin Xin was overjoyed: "There’s no time to delay, hurry and go apologize, Ye Chuyi works at the Dome, Sister Ye goes there to bring her lunch every day, wait for her at the Dome, you will definitely meet her!"

Wen Xingye nodded and went to the Dome.

After arriving at the Dome, he didn’t go to find Ye Chuyi first, but waited at the entrance for Ye Jinyu.

His and his mistress’s mindsets were surprisingly aligned: Ye Chuyi was too tough and too cold-hearted, dealing with her would definitely involve a scolding, while Ye Jinyu was easier to talk to, and it’s always best to pick the softer option.

He didn’t wait long before the "pushover" appeared, and he immediately stepped forward to intercept the car.

He stood in front of the car, looking at the luxurious Rolls-Royce and Ye Jinyu inside, a flash of greed and envy in his eyes.

After so many years of marriage, Ye Jinyu had never been willing to buy him a Rolls-Royce, but the moment she returned to the Ye Family, they gave her a Rolls-Royce as her transport car and even assigned her a driver. In an instant, she seemed to revert to her former untouchable heiress self of the wealthy families.

Ye Jinyu also saw Wen Xingye, she initially didn’t want to get out of the car, but Wen Xingye kept blocking the car, so she had to get out and let the driver drive it in to avoid blocking the road and affecting other vehicles entering.

"Jinyu."

Wen Xingye’s voice was laden with softness: "I haven’t seen you in half a month, you seem to look much better, have you cooled down?"

Ye Jinyu’s expression was icy: "Wen Xingye, you still have the face to see me?"
