Chapter 396: Why Would I Bother With Him
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ning Li stopped in her tracks and turned her head to look at her.
Ye Ci’s delicate and gentle face had become a little twisted due to hatred and madness.
It was no longer as beautiful and proud as before. Instead, it made people feel nauseous.
“What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”
Ning Li said faintly.
However, this faint voice seemed to have given Ye Ci a great stimulus.
“Why are you pretending?”
Her voice suddenly became sharp, and she raised her hand to slap Ning Li’s face!
Ning Li narrowed her eyes, and a cold light appeared in her eyes. She grabbed her wrist.
Her fingers were clearly long and slender, but they were extremely strong.
Ye Ci could not struggle at all. She only felt that her wrist was being held in pain.
“Let go of me! Do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking?! Ning Li, you were obviously the one who had stuffed that thing into my sleeve on purpose! Why are you pretending to be innocent? !”
As she spoke, her other hand was about to move again.
Ning Li pushed her away.
Ye Ci staggered back a few steps and almost fell to the ground.
Ning Li’s eyes were extremely cold:
“If you want to go crazy, forgive me for not having the interest in accompanying you.”
“You!”
All the blood in Ye Ci’s body surged to her head. All of her rationality had already been washed away.
She quickly walked forward as if she really intended to fight with Ning Li.
“Ye Ci!”
Ye Ming shouted in a deep voice and suddenly called out to her,
“What are you doing!”
Ye Ci’s tears gushed out in an instant, accompanied by endless grievance and resentment,
“It’s her! I told you, it’s her fault! Why don’t you believe me?”
She had never been as powerless and desperate as she was now.
She had already gotten hold of the original test paper, how could she have been so stupid as to prepare another cheat sheet!?
However, because she had found the email that should have disappeared completely on her computer, all her arguments had become ridiculous.
She did not know how Ning Li had come up with that cheat sheet, but other than Ning Li, no one else had the motive to do it!
Veins were popping out on Ye Ming’s forehead.
“Ye Ci! Look at what you look like now!”
This was the daughter that he had carefully nurtured for more than ten years!
All of her upbringing had disappeared, and she seemed to have lost control of her mind and was behaving like a lunatic!
It had already come to this point, and the notice had already been sent out. Instead of thinking about what she should do next, she was still struggling with these things!
Now, he really felt that Ye Ci was not normal.
Ye Ci felt as if a heavy stone was pressing down on her chest. Endless emotions surged, but she could not vent them out, no matter what.
She sobbed until she choked. One hand was pressed firmly on her chest. Her body trembled uncontrollably, and even breathing became difficult.
“Why don’t you all believe me? Why?”
Her vision blurred, and hot tears streamed down her face. Her whole body was chilled to the bone.
Perhaps it was because her outburst had been too sudden and too violent.
Ye Sheng, who had been wailing earlier, was so shocked that he had forgotten to cry. He stared blankly at everything.
In his memory, his sister had always been gentle and generous. This was the first time he had seen her like this.
After all, he was only ten years old. Seeing the mess at home, he finally could not help but feel uneasy and fearful. He subconsciously grabbed Su Yuan’s sleeve and gripped it tightly.
However, Su Yuan was no better than him.
Before this, she had never thought that the Ye family would be in such a mess one day.
She could only pretend to be calm. She used a little more strength in her hands and urged Ye Cheng to go back to his room. She did not want him to see this scene again.
It was already chaotic enough here!
Ye Cheng turned around stiffly. However, he had just taken a step when he suddenly thought of something and turned around abruptly to look at Ning Li.
“It’s all because of you! Nothing good has happened to our family ever since you came! You’re a jinx! Why aren’t you leaving yet?!”
He shouted this sentence very loudly. Everyone had heard it clearly.
Dead silence.
However, Ning Li did not seem to be embarrassed by his words.
Her expression was calm, and she turned her head to look at Ye Ming.
“Uncle Ye, it seems that my existence has indeed caused you a lot of trouble. Since the Ye family can not tolerate me, I will pack my things and leave now.”
As she spoke, she turned around and walked towards her own room.
“Wait!”
Ning Li turned around.
Ye Ming took a deep breath,
“Ye Ci can’t control her emotions now, and Ye Cheng isn’t sensible either. You don’t have to take their words to heart.
“Since you’ve come to the Ye family, there’s been no reason to simply chase you out. You can stay here without any worry.”
With that, he looked at Ye Cheng again.
“Are you still not apologizing?”
Ye Cheng could not believe it.
“What right do you have to make me apologize?! I don’t want to apologize to her! Dad, you used to love me and my sister very much!”
As he spoke, he was angry and sad at the same time. He turned around and ran back to his room.
“Lil Cheng!”
Su Yuan panicked and hurriedly chased after him.
Bang!
Ye Cheng slammed the door hard.
Su Yuan was shocked and she had almost gotten hurt.
However, she could not care less about herself. She just banged on the door.
“Lil Cheng! You–”
Ye Sheng roared.
“Leave me alone!”
Su Yuan choked on his words and did not know what to do.
Ye Ming’s face was cold.
“This is the good son that you’ve raised! Look at how spoiled he is!”
His words were full of reproach and dissatisfaction toward Su Yuan.
Su Yuan’s lips moved. It was not easy for her to suppress the urge to argue with him, but she felt extremely aggrieved in her heart.
Her son had not been born to her alone, and his temper had not been spoiled by her alone. Now, however, everything had been blamed on her!
Besides, wasn’t the main problem that had caused such a ruckus been the exam leak??
If Ye Ming had not done this, then how could so much trouble have been caused?
Su Yuan suppressed the many emotions in her heart and did not say a word.
Ning Li stood upstairs and looked at the scene expressionlessly.
From what she remembered, Su Yuan had a very arrogant temper. She would make a fuss if she was even just slightly dissatisfied.
Every time she had quarreled with Ning Haizhou, she had never shown any weakness.
However, now in the Ye family, even if Ye Ming scolded her to the point that she was useless, she still would not answer back. She endured it all.
The corners of Ning Li’s lips curled up into an slight mocking smile.
In his heart, Ye Ming could not wait for her to leave the Ye family immediately, but he would not do that.
Especially now.
The Ye family had caused a scandal, and Ye Ci’s future was ruined. Yet, she had just won first place in the National Overall Score in the physics competition.
If she were to leave now, what would the outsiders think?
The Ye family did not even have such a tolerance for people.
How could Ye Ming leave such a bad impression on others?
Therefore, even if he felt extremely disgusted and uncomfortable, he had to endure it all.
He had had to blame Ye Ci and reprimand Su Yuan. Not only would he make Ye Cheng apologize, but he would also personally ask Ning Li to stay.
This should give a very feeling.
Ning Li smiled.
“Uncle Ye worries too much.. Ye Cheng is still young. Why would I bother with him?”
