Chapter 12
People Need to Be Selfish
Ye Yao stayed in her room for a long time playing video games. Then, she suddenly opened the door and went downstairs. She threw her cell phone at Huo Buyu and demanded, “Deal with it!”
Huo Buyu picked up Ye Yao’s phone and saw that a person with the name “Madam Yang” had been sending her messages. After sending a series of three photographs, there was a text message: “Ye Yao, what did you do? Qin Jiao said that you hit her. This is her injury report and the indictment of her case against you.”
The injury report stated that Qin Jiao had a concussion, two broken ribs, and some minor wounds. Qin Jiao wanted to sue Ye Yao for intentional harm, based on the injuries she had sustained!
At the time that Qin Jiao left the scene, she only had some superficial wounds. Although she was used to being pampered, she couldn’t possibly have the mindset to frame someone, right? Broken ribs and concussion? That was ridiculous. Qin Jiao was obviously exaggerating!
After reading the report, Huo Buyu’s expression darkened. Then, he picked up his own cell phone and pressed a few buttons. After a moment, Ye Yao received a video on her phone.
Ye Yao forwarded the video to Madam Yang: [Let Qin Jiao sue. I’ll provide her with evidence.]
The video provided by Huo Buyu was the video of him kicking Qin Jiao, including the video of Qin Jiao falling as she walked. Huo Buyu had surveillance cameras installed all over his property. It was impossible to frame someone here.
After sending the video, Ye Yao looked at Huo Buyu and asked, “If Qin Jiao sues you, will you go to jail?” If Huo Buyu went to jail, wouldn’t she be free? Just the thought of it made her happy.
The man snorted. Even if Qin Jiao had a hundred lives, she wouldn’t dare to sue him.
Madam Yang replied: [Qin Jiao said you kicked her. How do you explain that?]
Ye Yao: [I’ve already sent you the evidence, but you insist that I kicked her. How should I explain then? I have to admit it just because Qin Jiao slandered me? Why don’t I sue her too, for slandering!]
Madam Yang: [What are you saying? She’s your younger sister. You have to give in to her. Qin Jiao said that you’re dating Huo Buyu. How can you be with Huo Buyu? Do you know how much Qin Jiao likes him? He’s your sister’s man. Are you going to vie with your little sister for his man?]
Ye Yao: [Didn’t my sister Ye Sui take my ex-fiance away from me? Did you seek Ye Sui out at that time? Did you tell her not to snatch her sister’s fiancé? I’m with Huo Buyu because he loves me, and I love him too. Huo Buyu and Qin Jiao have already broken up. If she interferes in my relationship with Huo Buyu again, she’ll be a third party! Mom, please have some decency. You should know who’s right and who’s wrong.]
Huo Buyu watched Ye Yao as she chatted. When Ye Yao said that she loved him, his expression gradually softened. However, when she mentioned her “fiancé”, his expression turned cold. Fiancé? That was her ex-fiancé! The girl is asking to be taught a lesson!
Madam Yang: [Sigh! Ye Yao, please understand Qin Jiao. She lost her mother when she was young. It’s heart-wrenching, this child. Can’t you give in and let her have Huo Buyu?]
Ye Yao: [But I lost my mother too. Not only that, I also don’t have a father!]
Madam Yang: […]
From the moment Yang Ya married Qin Jiao’s father, Ye Yao effectively lost her mother. Yang Ya was only contacting Ye Yao for the sake of Qin Jiao.
Ye Yao had grown up and was no longer a teenager who yearned for her parents’ love, However, Yang Ya’s way of doing things upset her! When the girl was young, she was brainwashed by her parents and gave in all the time! Now that she could think on her own, she would give tit for tat! And she would treat her parents the same way!
Exasperated, Yang Ya sent a voice message to Ye Yao: [Ye Yao, did you spare a thought for me when you decided to be with Huo Buyu? You may have found your happiness by being with Huo Buyu, but Qin Jiao will keep making trouble for me. This way, my life will be ruined. Can’t you separate from Huo Buyu for my sake?]
[No!] Ye Yao rejected her readily: [Back then, you didn’t stay in S City for my sake either. All these years, I’ve never needed you, I took it that you were gone for good. But now, you put up an appearance. The moment you appear, you force me to give up the man I like. In the past, when Qin Jiao was in S City, you made me give up my own mother and the life I liked. And now, you so selfishly expect me to continue giving up everything to fulfill your happiness?]
Yang Ya was a woman in love with the idea of being in love. In her eyes, love was her everything. She was willing to get a divorce and abandon her family for the sake of love. She would compromise for love. As long as Qin Jiao made a request, no matter how ridiculous it was, she would satisfy it. She would rather treat a stepdaughter well than pay more attention to her biological daughter.
