Chapter 17 The 17th day of getting disliked
Shi Wei felt like her mind was going to explode.
She couldn't tell whether it was because of Xia Duoduo and Xu Yangyang's skyrocketing dislike value, or what Sheng Jingchen said.
What happened on the night of the engagement night was like an unsealed memory. It all flooded into her mind.
Shi Wei recalled how she kissed Sheng Jingchen on the lips, how she pushed him onto the bed, how she said ‘I want’ to him over and over again...
Help...
Want to die...
Dig a hole now and bury herself...
"Tongzi Tongzi, come out!" Shi Wei wildly clawed inside, "Doesn't Sheng Jingchen like Xia Duoduo? How could he do... that with me?"
The system was in a mess, flipping through the novel frantically, "I, I don't know!"
The system's emoji face was tearful, "The novel clearly said that Sheng Jingchen isn't interested in you. He only likes Xia Duoduo... Xia Duoduo is his white moonlight, while he just treats you as a substitute!"
Sheng Jingchen was stunned.
White moonlight? Substitute?
What nonsense! When did he like Xia Duoduo?
Sheng Jingchen was about to explain, when he suddenly heard Shi Wei complaining to the system, "I understand, Sheng Jingchen is a scumbag! He couldn't sleep with Xia Duoduo, so he used me as a substitute and treated me...as as as... humph, stinky man!"
Sheng Jingchen:? ? ?
What the hell?
Why was he targeted again!
It was obviously Shi Wei herself...
Before Sheng Jingchen had time to explain, he saw Shi Wei mercilessly shaking off his hand and glaring at him rather resentfully.
Sheng Jingchen: "..."
This wasn't the attitude she had on the night of the engagement... Women really change their faces faster than turning pages of a book!
...
On the other side.
Xu Yangyang struggled to break free from Officer Ding's restraints, while Officer Ding held her tighter.
"Police... it was Ye Yu who put the drug. It was Ye Yu who raped Shi Wei! It had nothing to do with me! Let me go!"
"Oh?" Officer Ding looked at Xu Yangyang meaningfully before letting go of her hand, "But Ye Yu didn't say that."
Xu Yangyang was rubbing her wrist that was sore from being grasped and was shocked when she heard this. The next second, she saw Ye Yu walking into the study under the escort of a police officer.
"Ye, Ye Yu?!"
Ye Yu's face was ashen. Deep dark circles were under his eyelids. His hair was tied into clumps, He looked extremely decadent. Seeing Xu Yangyang, Ye Yu's eyes were burning with fury. Rushing forward like crazy, he slapped Xu Yangyang without saying anything!
"Xu Yangyang, you shameless bitch! It's obviously you who put the drug. How dare you frame me?!"
Xu Yangyang covered her red cheeks and trembled. Seeing that Ye Yu was still trying to attack, she quickly hid behind Officer Ding.
"Mr Ye, you were just acquitted because of insufficient evidence. Do you still want to go in now?!" Officer Ding unreservedly chided while protecting Xu Yangyang.
Ye Yu's face froze. He had suffered enough in the detention center for a few days, so he naturally didn't dare to act rashly.
Officer Ding continued, "However, Mr Ye, although we didn't have enough evidence to prosecute you before, but... with the confessions of Miss Xu and Miss Xia just now and the wine glass stained with DNA and drug residue, it can prove that you attempted rape!"
Ye Yu's face became even uglier.
If it weren't for the stinky bitch Xu Yangyang, he wouldn't have gotten into trouble at all! Rage instantly overwhelmed all reasoning, Ye Yu swiftly took action and grabbed Xu Yangyang's hair!
The police officer behind him quickly took action to hold Ye Yu down.
Ye Yu's hands were held to his back by the police officer as he kept shouting, "Xu Yangyang, why are you pretending to be innocent? You put in the drug! It had nothing to do with me!"
"You, you are talking nonsense!" Xu Yangyang was still hiding behind Officer Ding.
"Heh! You want me to take the blame? Dream on!" Ye Yu sneered and turned to Officer Ding, "Officer Ding, I have a video of Xu Yangyang buying and putting the drug. It's in my cloud drive! What she said about Xia Shiwei and I being in love and spiking is all nonsense! It was Xu Yangyang who put the drug in. I just happened to carry Xia Shiwei to the parking lot!"
Xu Yangyang was horrified.
Ye Yu actually had a video? !
He was on guard against her when the two were conspiring!
Xu Yangyang's heart was pounding. Her face was twisted with anger.
Ye Yu took in Xu Yangyang's panic and anger and smiled triumphantly. Although he was an illegitimate child, how could be a pushover since he could use his means to return to the Ye Family to fight for power?
"I don't believe it... I don't believe it..." Xu Yangyang muttered. If Ye Yu really had a video, wouldn't she have to go to jail? "Police, he is lying! He must be lying to you——"
"Enough!"
Old Mister Ye finally couldn't stand it anymore.
At such an old age, he had to watch such a farce of his grandson.
And it was a farce of an illegitimate child.
The atmosphere was quiet in an instant. On one side was Xu Yangyang, who was shaking with anger, and on the other side was Ye Yu, who handed over the cloud disk account and password.
Ye Yu's face was full of pride. His grandfather was obviously on his side. As he didn't constitute rape. As long as he said something nice to his grandfather, he could still get away!
Ye Yu looked at Xu Yangyang and yelled with his mouth: "Xu Yangyang, you're done--"
Before he finished speaking, a fist fiercely hit Ye Yu's face!
Ye Yu saw stars spinning and his mouth was bloody. In a daze, he heard a male voice unreservedly spoke out.
"F*ck your mother. Ye Yu, you scumbag!"
Xia Yuanzhou came to find Xia Duoduo and accidentally heard everything in the study.
He was so mad that his shoulders trembled and his fists clenched.
How could this group of people do this? Obviously Shi Wei was the victim, but they were so unscrupulous, forcing Shi Wei to break off the engagement and be with the perpetrator. And asked Shi Wei to withdraw the lawsuit? !
Where do they get the face!
Xia Yuanzhou’s anger was at boiling point. He punched and kicked Ye Yu again.
"You b*stard! Bully my Elder Sister! Bully Elder Sister!"
Old Mister Ye was deeply shocked. He hurried forward to stop him, but he was too old. He couldn’t win against Xia Yuanzhou. He was pushed aside by Xia Yuanzhou and staggered a few steps. Fortunately, he was supported by Ye Wenqing.
Police Officer Ding and others were trying to stop him, but they seemed to have known Xia Yuanzhou's identity and just pretended to stop him. They didn't try their best at all.
In a few seconds, Ye Yu was knocked to the ground by Xia Yuanzhou, gaining a bruised face and unable to get up.
"Xia Yuanzhou!" Fuming, old Mister Ye’s eyebrows were raised, "What are you doing!"
"Your grandson bullied Elder Sister, so what's wrong with me beating your grandson!" Xia Yuanzhou wasn't polite either.
The Xia Family had always respected the Ye Family, but that was respect in terms of seniority. If it really came to family power, the Xia Family never feared the Ye Family.
Old Mister Ye knew that they were in the wrong.
Xia Shiwei was just an adopted daughter, so she could be bullied. Xia Yuanzhou was the flesh and blood of the Xia Family. Even though there was an eldest son, Xia Yiwen, the Xia Family still doted on him.
Old Mister Ye gritted his teeth and could only swallow this bad breath.
Xia Duoduo saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade, "Yuanzhou, Elder Brother Ye Yu is old Mister Ye's grandson after all. How can you be so disrespectful to Old Mister Ye?"
Xia Yuanzhou glared at Xia Duoduo coldly.
It would be better if she didn't speak out. Stepping out was asking for scolding!
"Elder Sister Duo, I haven't asked you yet! What do you mean by colluding with this old man just now? Shi Wei was bullied, and you actually forced Shi Wei to break off the engagement with them? Do you regard Shi Wei as your elder sister?!"
Xia Duoduo's hand froze that was about to comfort Xia Yuanzhou.
Xia Yuanzhou...actually scolded her for Xia Shiwei?
Didn't he always like her the most? How could he speak for Xia Shiwei?
Xia Duoduo’s expression was ugly. But in order to look good in front of everyone, she could only say pitifully, "Yuanzhou, how could you say that to me? I, I did it for the reputation of the Xia Family!"
"The reputation of the Xia Family?" Xia Yuanzhou frowned, "It's not your turn to worry about it!"
Xia Duoduo's expression was completely frozen.
Others only thought that Xia Yuanzhou meant that reputation and the like were things that the elders should worry about and it wasn't the turn of a junior, Xia Duoduo to worry about it.
But Xia Duoduo heard the hidden meaning in Xia Yuanzhou's words that even he himself had not realized.
--You are the adopted daughter of the Xia Family. When is it the turn of an adopted daughter to worry about the reputation of the Xia Family?
Xia Duoduo's face turned pale, biting her lips tightly and digging her nails deep into her flesh.
However, Xia Yuanzhou didn't care about Xia Duoduo's little thoughts at all. He turned to look at Shi Wei with a face full of guilt.
Until this moment, he finally understood why Shi Wei went home to take away her luggage after the engagement. And why Shi Wei said something like ‘I regret returning to the Xia Family’.
That night, she experienced the absence of her fiancé and was almost raped by Ye Yu. But everyone in the Xia Family was in the hospital caring about an adopted daughter who was fine!
And the next day, he actually sent a WeChat message to Shi Wei, telling her not to go home and interfere with Xia Duoduo's recording of the variety show.
If it were him, he would regret returning to this home!
Xia Yuanzhou's nose was sour and his eyes were unconsciously red.
In fact, from the beginning, Xia Yuanzhou was looking forward to this elder sister. Knowing that the Xia Family had a daughter who was lost outside, the family felt distressed and fortunate.
But for some reason, there was always a voice in his heart telling Xia Yuanzhou that Xia Shiwei came home to compete with Elder Sister Duo for favor and to bully Elder Sister Duo! And that Elder Sister Duo grew up with him and he should be better to Elder Sister Duo.
Why was it like this?
Shi Wei obviously didn't fight for anything. She just wanted to integrate into the Xia Family. It was because she didn't fight or compete that they naturally ignored Shi Wei, who should have been cared for on the night of the engagement.
Xia Yuanzhou felt unbearable and depressed.
"Elder Sister Shi Wei, I... I know I was wrong,"
Xia Yuanzhou lowered his head, "If I had known that something like that would happen that night, I would definitely accompany you and wouldn't let Ye Yu bully you! The next day, I wouldn't send such a text message..."
Xia Yuanzhou stepped forward and gently pulled the corner of Shi Wei's clothes, trying to win her forgiveness.
Shi Wei took a step back without hesitation.
It was this step that pierced Xia Yuanzhou's chest like a sharp dagger. Xia Yuanzhou felt so painful in his heart and the guilt filled his entire chest again.
Shi Wei was unwilling to bother with Xia Yuanzhou again and even turned her head away from looking at him.
Shi Wei was tired.
People's emotions were limited.
She once devoted herself to the Xia Family, treating the people of the Xia Family more important than herself and was even willing to give up her marriage in exchange.
But what did she get in return?
Even if there was no tragic ending in the novel, what happened on the night of the engagement was enough to make Shi Wei wake up.
She was very petty. Once betrayed, she would never look back.
She would give everything when she gave, but she would never miss it when she gave it up.
Xia Yuanzhou might truly want to restore the family relationship between the siblings.
But she didn't want it anymore.
…
At the side, Officer Ding recovered the wine glass stained with Shi Wei's DNA and drugs remnants, as well as the video on Ye Yu's cloud disk.
Ye Yu and Xu Yangyang were involved with a rape case. Zhou Shuwan was taken away by the police because she and Xu Yangyang spread rumors that ‘Shi Wei lost her virginity’ and damaged Shi Wei's reputation.
Before leaving, Old Mister Ye suddenly called everyone.
"Wait a minute!"
Old Mister Ye, leaning on a cane, trembled and walked to Shi Wei. His voice choked with sobs.
"Miss Xia... Ye Group is my life's work, could you... let us go?"
Shi Wei looked at Old Mister Ye coldly.
Today was Old Mister Ye's birthday party. Most of the wealthy businessmen in Capital gathered at the Ye Family's old house. If Ye Yu was captured by the police and the reporter breaks the news that the young master of the Ye Group was suspected of rape, the stock price of the Ye Family will be ruined.
Although Ye Yu's crime was confirmed and the police have obtained evidence, the rape crime won’t be announced. As long as Shi Wei didn't say anything, Old Mister Ye could naturally buy off the news media to suppress this matter.
"Old Mister Ye, what do you want to do?" Shi Wei raised an eyebrow and asked back.
Old Mister Ye took a deep breath, "We will claim to the public that Xu Yangyang drugged you, and Ye Yu just passed by, saved you, and handed you over to Jingchen. He didn't do anything to you during the period! If you agree..." Old Mister Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, "I am willing to exchange 0.5% of our Ye Group's shares!"
Everyone was shocked.
0.5% of the shares of the Ye Group! What a huge fortune!
Ye Tingyue was the eldest son of the Ye Family. Because he broke up with the Ye Family after entering the entertainment industry, he didn't get any shares; Ye Wenqing had been working in the Ye Group, but he only got 2% of the shares; as for Ye Yu, an illegitimate child who may be kicked out of the Ye Family tree at any time, naturally had no shares at all.
But Old Mister Ye wanted to give Shi Wei 0.5% of the shares!
On the side, Xia Duoduo fumed to the point that her teeth itched.
Although the Xia Family doted on her very much and said that they would give her 3% of the shares, that would have to wait until she got engaged.
Xia Shiwei was different. Even though something went wrong on the day of the engagement party and Father Xia and Mother Xia didn't have time to announce the shares, Shi Wei already had 3% of the Xia Family's shares.
She had a manor worth hundreds of millions given to her by Sheng Jingchen.
Now she had 0.5% of the Ye Family's shares!
