Chapter 2026: Until The Dust Had Settled
“Yes, you’ve done nothing wrong. Other people were wrong. Miss Jiang has done something wrong. She shouldn’t have followed Colonel Lu so shamelessly, even after so many people criticized her. She was wrong for not leaving Colonel Lu as you wished. Colonel Lu was wrong for protecting Miss Jiang after the rumors you created. Everyone in the world is wrong except for you, Ye Xueli.
“Sister, you know that rumors can kill. So, you know why you started one. How can you blame others when the matter is exposed? You destroy someone’s reputation, and they retaliate. That sounds right.”
Ye Jianguo stood at the door and sneered at his sister. He did not say anything else. Then, he closed the door and ignored the situation.
“Since you’re not sleeping tonight, pack your things. I’ll send you to the train station tomorrow. You can go back to our hometown,” Colonel Ye said coldly before returning to his room. Support our FreeWebNovel.com
Ye Xueli stood there and gradually stopped crying. She stood there for a long time with an expression of disbelief on her face.
Colonel Ye’s wife urged her son to go back to his room to sleep. Then, she followed her husband back to their room and pretended to be concerned. “Is it appropriate for Xueli to return to our hometown like this? That place is not suitable for relaxing. Why don’t we let her go somewhere else and return after that matter has calmed down? We’ll think of a way to apologize to Colonel Lu and his wife. After all, they’re our neighbors. We shouldn’t have a falling out with them over this, right?”
“Do you think Lu Xingzhi is an easy person to talk to?”
Colonel Ye said, “Lu Xingzhi is not the kind of person who would be afraid of falling out with someone. Furthermore, this matter is our family’s fault. Lu Xingzhi doesn’t interact with our family, so no one can blame him for that.”
Colonel Ye sighed when he said, “I’m letting Xueli go back to our hometown not to let her avoid the limelight, but because I don’t want to keep her here to continue causing trouble for me. She can also keep the seniors company at home. I’ll get my relatives to help find her a husband.”
“You’re right. Xueli should be getting married at her age.” Colonel Ye’s wife raised her eyebrow. “Look at how young Colonel Lu’s wife is, and they’ve been married for fivo years. She’ll also be a mother soon. Most girls are only talking about marriage at her age.”
“Get married and have children. Once the dust settles, she won’t be in the mood to mess around anymore.” That was Colonel Ye’s motive for marrying his daughter.
Initially, he wanted to wait a couple of years because he felt sorry for his
daughter. He wanted to find her a good husband. However, he had underestimated his daughter.
When Jiang Yao heard that, she lost interest in listening to the private conversation betvveen Colonel Ye and his wife. There was no doubt that Colonel Ye loved his daughter. After all, she was his eldest daughter. However, Ye Xueli had disappointed him.
Jiang Yao thought Colonel Ye was right to send Ye Xueli away. After all, her reputation would only suffer if she stayed there..
