Chapter 1357
1357 The Antics of the Ye Family
The thing was that Ye Xiang never expected those men of hers to actually lay their hands on her daughter and bully her when she was not at home. In the end, they forced such a good girl to have to face the current situation.
However, Ye Xiang did not feel that she was the one who brought this onto Ye Lei. She even felt that Ye Lei’s experience had nothing to do with her at all. Instead, she pushed all the blame to Jiang Shu’s family.
She just wanted to find a reliable man and quickly marry Ye Lei off. Perhaps if Ye Lei got married, their family’s bad luck would finally end. Therefore, they targeted Deng Fan. They felt that once Deng Fan married Ye Lei, it would mean the end of all their troubles.
...Ye Xiang knew that Jiang Shu was very particular about her reputation. As long as she accused Deng Fan of doing something shameful, the Deng family would definitely give in to them in the end!
After all that meticulous planning, they did not expect Qiao Mei to be able to find out everything and that Deng Fan had such a capable supporter.
“This is too much! What do they take us for! Am I the one who caused them to end up like this! How preposterous!” Jiang Shu said angrily.
“Auntie, don’t be angry. It’s bad for your health to be so angry. There’s no need for us to hurt our health because of such things. This matter can be easily settled, but I want to know where you stand when it comes to Ye Xiang,” Qiao Mei said.
“I have nothing to do with her! She even wants to harm my son like this! Do I still have to care about her!” Jiang Shu said.
“Then if she dares to come again, let’s call the police. We have enough evidence of all the things she had done. Once she and her daughter are arrested, they will have to spend the rest of their lives in prison,” Qiao Mei said.
After calming down, Jiang Shu felt a little dazed. She did not know how she and Ye Xiang reached this point today. If she had been able to help Ye Xiang back then and led her back to the right path, perhaps Ye Xiang would not have ended up like this.
Just as everyone kept quiet, the sounds of two women wailing suddenly came from outside the house.
“Oh my! Heavens! I don’t want to live anymore! Deng Fan, you’re such a heartless person! You promise to be with me, but now you’re getting married to that woman! How can you do this to me!” Ye Lei crouched on the ground and wailed. Ye Xiang also wept next to her. It was as if they wanted to make everyone in the alley come to the Deng family’s door.
They were so noisy that Jiang Shu’s head started to hurt again. At this moment, as soon as she heard the voices of the Ye family’s mother-and-daughter duo, her heart would feel uncomfortable. It had already gotten to the extent of being a conditioned response.
“How long are they going to do this! I’ll go out now and ask the two of them to get lost,” Deng Rui said angrily.
“Uncle, wait for a while. Let’s do it when there are more people,” Qiao Mei said.
“Are we waiting for everyone to come and laugh at my family?” Deng Rui said without thinking. After saying that, he felt a little regretful. Qiao Mei had come to help them out of kindness, but he had treated her like this.
Deng Rui looked at Qiao Mei apologetically and said, “I’m sorry, Qiao Mei. I was just… too angry just now. I don’t mean to scold you. Don’t take it to heart.”
“It’s fine, Uncle. When everyone is here, we’ll just watch the Ye family become a joke,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.
After 10 minutes, Qiao Mei grabbed Xia He and Deng Fan with her and went to the courtyard. There were many people outside and the entire alley was choked up. Almost everyone in the alley had come to watch the commotion.
In the beginning, everyone believed that Deng Fan would not do such a thing. However, after the Ye family mother-and-daughter duo caused a ruckus for so long, some people began to waver.
If Ye Lei really had nothing to do with Deng Fan, then why would she come to look for him? Would it not be better to use the same trick to deceive one of the rich families in the capital? There was no reason for her to kick up a fuss in front of the Deng family.
“Can Deng Fan really… really have done something to that girl?” one of the neighbors, Auntie Zhang, said with a hint of suspicion.
Sister Wang said angrily, “Auntie Zhang, it’s not as if Sister Jiang Shu had not shared her family’s meat supply with you in the past. Why can’t you think before you speak? Is it because you’re too old to remember stuff? That kid Deng Fan definitely hasn’t done anything treacherous!”
“Then tell us why Ye Lei would cry at their door for so many days,” Auntie Zhang asked.
“I don’t know, but I know Deng Fan very well. Deng Fan is a gentleman and will never do such a thing!” Sister Wang said.
