Ye Zhifan hurriedly divorced Sun Dongqing and immediately cut their ties to him, all to protect himself from becoming the subject of Madam Li’s rage.
He felt more perturbed when taking Madam Li’s phone call than he had been when attending the Provincial Government’s conference when Madam Li’s cold voice transmitted into his ear, he felt like his heart could jump out his throat at any time, his breathing was even tensed up as if he was afraid that Madam Li would detect that he was afraid.
After personally answering that he would no longer interfere with whatever happens to Ye Ying, Ye Zhifan then heard Madam Li’s cold snicker, the meaning is not clear, and he didn’t know what she intended to do.
“Seems like Director Ye is going to place righteousness before family, not bad, no wonder Director Ye managed to elevate through the rains so quickly, just with that heart alone, it is evident that Director Ye would do great things.”
How could he not detect the cynicism in Madam Li’s tone if Ye Ying could still improve, to follow his arrangements, and not cause trouble outside? How would he not be reluctant at cutting their father-daughter bond?
She was his own daughter, after all, and his blood flowed through half of her veins.
He had laid all her future paths for her, and each and every one of them were wide highways; with him helping her throughout, she would’ve accomplished much. But Ye Ying was impossible to educate because she had been incapable; no matter how well he had laid the path for her, she would only manage to do things lousily.
After spending so much time and effort to raise her, and in the end, it was her who denied having a father like him.
She was undoubtedly his own daughter, falling out with him so mercilessly.
Then so be it, since she denied him, then why should he go and recognize a dumb daughter like her?
He couldn’t afford to offend the Li family; it hadn’t been easy climbing to where he was, and he didn’t want to return to where he started in one night, nor did he want to lose everything he had.
No pain, no gain, so all he could do was discard Ye Ying, this daughter who didn’t recognize him any more!
Pretending not to hear the cynicism behind Madam Li’s words, Ye Zhifan’s voice deepened until there was a sliver of trembling, “I’ve made Madam see our blunder, she… sigh, too stubborn, I couldn’t get my words into her, I respect all of her wishes.”
“She’s already in her twenties; she’s not a child anymore; it’s time for her to take full responsibility for her actions.”
That was telling Madam Li, whatever happens to Ye Ying should be shouldered by herself, and it doesn’t have anything to do with others.
Although Madam Li was strict towards others, but towards her own children, she had always been magnanimous, even if their children had betrayed the world, that was still the Du family’s affairs. It wasn’t in other people’s business to point fingers at them.
Hearing Ye Zhifan’s words of clearing up their father-daughter relationship, the chill on Madam Li’s face grew colder.
With a father like that, how good can a daughter he raised be!
Thinking how she, Li Chenglan, had always been the one to scheme against others, today, she had actually been schemed by a puny Director and a young girl to the point of making her headache, kek, do you think just by getting divorced, and cutting off your father-daughter relationship, you can get away that easily?
With a face as heavy as water, Madam Li hung up the call and quickly dialed another number combination; a moment later, she exclaimed with surprise: “The Disciplinary Inspection Committee is already on their way to Yunnan? Are they going to purge the officials there?”
“Status unknown? My old friend, do you have something that’s not easy for you to tell me?… no, I’m not trying to put you in a tough spot; if you don’t tell me, it’s not like I can force you to?”
“I’m not calling you for something else today; I just wanted to tell you guys to make a proper investigation into a certain Director in Yunnan with the surname “Ye.” I’m just mentioning this to you since the Disciplinary Inspection Committee is already on its way to Yunnan. Naturally, you’ll have to take a good look.”
Madam Li’s connections were far and wide, so she would more or less know several officials with key positions; after being informed that the Disciplinary Inspection Committee was making their way to Yunnan, she greeted her old classmate, then smiled as they chatted, after promising to get lunch together when they have the time did she hang up the phone.
