Chapter 833: Chapter 832: Ice Cold
"Hah... Liu Zhengyi, you’re truly pitiable, can’t even protect the person you love the most. You can’t even take care of your own wife, what kind of man are you!"
Liu Zhengyi’s face changed, and he glared at her angrily, "I’m warning you, stop sowing discord here, otherwise, I won’t mind letting you know the consequences of angering me!"
"You dare to threaten me?"
"What, I can’t threaten you? Who do you think you are?"
Ye Yunxi snorted coldly, "Liu Zhengyi, just you wait, one day, I will make you pay!"
"You think you can outwit me? You’re still too green!"
Ye Yunxi scoffed, "We shall see!"
Ye Yunxi turned and left. As she reached the door, Liu Zhengyi’s voice came from behind her, "I warn you, don’t try any tricks, otherwise, I will make your life a living hell!"
A sneer curled the corners of Ye Yunxi’s mouth.
Is it just because you have power? Wait until I’ve destroyed this family, let’s see how arrogant you can be then!
Seeing Ye Yunxi leaving in a huff, Liu Zhengyi felt an inexplicable irritation in his heart.
Damn it! Why does every confrontation with her go out of control?
He didn’t like the look in Ye Yunxi’s eyes, that contempt, that mockery.
Ye Yunxi returned to her room where she lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Her mind wandered as she thought about things and let her thoughts run wild.
She thought about her origins, the fact that she was sold to a brothel, her fate, and her tragedy.
Suddenly, she felt very tired.
She was not one to run from her problems, but she also knew that this wasn’t something Liu Zhengyi could solve. If things really blew up, it would be bad for everyone, especially since he was the only son of Mayor Liu, and Mayor Liu’s face was not easily saved.
She had to think carefully about how to completely free herself from Liu Zhengyi and ensure he could never recover.
In her confusion and discomfort, her phone rang.
It was a message. She opened it to see a message from an unknown number.
[Yunxi, I’ve found out everything about you. Your biological parents are dead; you’re an orphan.]
"Hahaha..." Ye Yunxi suddenly burst into laughter. She had finally found her identity!
She was not an orphan after all!
She was the illegitimate daughter of the Ye Family!
All these years of hiding her true name and living in poverty were all because she did not have enough evidence to prove she was the illegitimate daughter of the Ye Family, unable to rightfully claim her place as a child of the Ye Family!
Now, she could finally stand up with dignity!
Deep down, she used to feel guilty about her father who had abandoned her and her mother, but now, she no longer needed to care or be afraid!
She, Ye Yunxi, was not someone to be bullied or butchered by others!
"Dinglingling... Dinglingling..." Suddenly, Ye Yunxi’s phone rang again.
It was a message. Ye Yunxi opened it to see a string of numbers, which looked like a new phone number, sent presumably by a woman, judging by the style of the number.
"Dinglingling... Dinglingling..." The phone continued to ring, more and more urgently, clearly the other person was desperate to negotiate with Ye Yunxi.
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Yunxi finally pressed the call button.
"Hello? Who’s this?"
"Is this Miss Ye? Do you have a moment? I have something important to discuss with you."
Ye Yunxi raised an eyebrow, "Who are you?"
"I’m a friend of Liu Zhengyi’s. I know you must be wondering why a friend of Liu Zhengyi would know about your identity. Hehe, it’s not really a big secret. I’m Liu Zhengyi’s ex-girlfriend. Now, does that satisfy you?"
Ye Yunxi was stunned; she had never expected her ex-boyfriend’s former girlfriend to seek her out.
"What do you want with me?"
"Of course, it’s for your benefit," I texted you out of concern for your well-being. If you don’t want Liu Zhengyi to find out your true identity, then come to my place. Once we meet, you’ll understand why I’m doing this for you."
Ye Yunxi thought about Liu Zhengyi’s attitude just now and something stirred in her heart, "Alright, I agree, but I have one condition."
"Tell me, what is your condition?"
"I want you to help me look into someone named Xia Yufei. She has been living in City S these years. Help me find her and make sure she can never return to City S."
"Oh?"
Ye Yunxi paused, then added, "I want you to investigate someone named Su Qianye too; this person is my enemy."
"No problem."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief.
She had put up with this for too long!
Now that she was exposed, it was time for an outburst!
The next morning, Ye Yunxi got up early, had breakfast, and took a servant to the company. She needed to organize all the company materials and hand them over to Liu Zhengyi.
Liu Zhengyi was shocked at first when he heard that Ye Yunxi was going to hand over all company affairs to him, but then he was overjoyed. He would finally be able to take control of the Ye Corporation; from now on, he would be the sole heir of the Ye Family, and Ye Yunxi would have to rely on him, at his mercy.
This was the outcome he desired.
Ye Yunxi glanced at Liu Zhengyi and spoke indifferently, "Vice President Liu, since I’ve handed over the company to you, I don’t want to see anyone from the Liu Family stepping foot in the company ever again. If I find anyone gossiping or stealing property in my office, I don’t care if you’re the second young master of the Liu Family or the Ye Family, you will be expelled from the Ye Corporation without exception!"
"Yunxi, don’t worry, I won’t step foot in Ye Corporation ever again," Liu Zhengyi promised.
Ye Yunxi nodded and turned to leave.
Her words undoubtedly delighted Liu Zhengyi; he believed his dream was about to come true—he would become the CEO of Ye Corporation!
With that thought, Liu Zhengyi left in high spirits.
Not long after Liu Zhengyi left, Lin Xiaoqian and Lin Li arrived.
"Mom, look at that little bitch Ye Yunxi’s arrogant demeanor. It’s infuriating!" Lin Li said angrily.
"Alright, don’t be angry. Let’s go inside," Lin Xiaoqian comforted Lin Li.
The two entered Ye Yunxi’s office.
Ye Yunxi looked up as they walked in, frowning slightly, "What are you two doing here?"
Lin Li sneered, "Humph, Ye Yunxi, we’re here under my father’s orders to remind you not to have any involvement with the Ye Family, or else don’t blame us for being rude!"
Ye Yunxi raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Really? Then I’d like to hear how you plan to deal with me?"
"Humph, don’t think we’re afraid of you because you’re engaged to the Shen Family. Ye Yunxi, I suggest you be sensible, leave Shen Mochen alone, or else you’ll regret it!" Lin Li said viciously.
"Yeah, Yunxi, pack your bags and get lost!" Lin Xiaoqian echoed.
Ye Yunxi narrowed her eyes, "Are you two threatening me?"
"Threaten? No, no, Yunxi, we wouldn’t dare threaten you, it’s just..." Lin Xiaoqian smirked sinisterly, "It’s just that who would want to keep a wild girl with no manners like you in the Ye Family?"
"Lin Li, don’t forget that I am now Shen Mochen’s fiancee!"
"Really? I think you’ll be kicked out of the Shen Family soon enough, Ye Yunxi. Better leave the Shen Family quickly and stop clinging to our brother Mochen!" Lin Li said.
Hearing Lin Li mention Shen Mochen, Ye Yunxi’s expression turned cold, "I’m warning you, my affairs are none of your business!"
"Oh, we’re family after all, what can’t we discuss? Ye Yunxi, don’t act so pure and innocent; I’ve seen plenty of women like you, trying to climb up using brother Mochen. Sadly, you’re just not worthy of him," Lin Li said.
Ye Yunxi clenched her teeth, "Do you think I care about your Shen Mochen? Not only do I intend to marry Shen Mochen, but I also plan to marry his good brother Liu Zheng. I’d like to see how you’re going to stop me!"
"You... Ye Yunxi, how dare you covet Lian Chuan? You shameless, flirtatious woman!"
"Slap!"
The crisp sound of a slap echoed sharply.
"I’ll show you who is truly shameless!"
A roar filled the air, and as Ye Yunxi turned, she saw Liu Zhengzheng swaggering in from outside. His handsome face was filled with ferocity, and his narrow phoenix eyes were now clouded with stormy hues, looking as if they could devour someone, making Ye Yunxi’s heart tremble.
