Chapter 1627: Self-Inflicted

At the old Qiao house, Qiao Yichen said to Ye Xiaolang: "Stop making trouble, it's meaningless to say those things at this time, go back quickly, let's find time in these two days to get a divorce, and let's all have a good New Year."

"Qiao Yichen, what did I do wrong? Huh? Didn't I just..."

Ye Xiaolang was tearful, loudly expressing her good intentions, saying she wasn't doing it for money, repeating all the reasons Qiao Yichen had told her, and also saying that since they got married, she hadn't taken advantage of the family, etc.

Tears ruined her exquisite makeup, loud shouting made her throat hoarse, and the exhaustion of her schemes made her face ferocious; she already had a state of hysteria...

"I'm listening, Aunt Wu."

Hearing the movement behind her, Aunt Wu, who was clinging to the door wall to listen to the excitement, was so scared that she jumped on the spot. Because of her guilty conscience, she subconsciously didn't shout out.

She saw Wang Yan grinning and slapped Wang Yan on the arm: "Just scare your Aunt Wu, if you scare me into something bad, see if I don't blackmail you, this big boss."

"Aunt Wu already said I'm a big boss, can I still be afraid of blackmail?"

Aunt Wu rolled her eyes, then pulled Wang Yan's arm: "Hey, Wang Yan, is Yichen really going to divorce? I've been listening to the argument for more than half an hour."

"That's eight or nine out of ten, right? I just came back after being notified by Sanli."

"You say Yichen's wife is also something. She looked like a pretty good person before, and her own job wasn't bad, so why is she so unsatisfied? I listened for a long time, and she really spent a lot of money, and even then she wasn't satisfied and wanted to go abroad, and her family members aren't promising either, dragging their families over to blackmail people."

"Oh my, wealth really moves people's hearts. Yichen also had it hard, finding such a spendthrift wife; he didn't know how to ask around more before getting married. If he had asked around earlier, could there be this thing now? It's not just me listening here, there are quite a few, they all left after seeing you come back. You say, this old Qiao family doesn't let you worry either."

Wang Yan laughed: "What doesn't let me worry? I've been in their house since I was thirteen. Aunt Wu, don't say this to others; if this reaches Old Uncle Qiao's ears, he'll make things difficult for your chicken gizzards again."

"Do you think your Aunt Wu is afraid of him? Last time I scolded him for half an hour, he didn't even dare to go out of the courtyard gate." Aunt Wu said with pride, then pushed Wang Yan, "Don't watch the excitement with me, hurry up and solve it, otherwise it will just let people watch your jokes."

"Entertaining the masses, besides, everyone is a neighbor, watching the excitement is not bad, and you can balance your heart, right? So what if you have money? Isn't the family still a mess?"

"Look at what you're saying, hurry in."

Aunt Wu's face was smiling like a flower, because she really thought so, but didn't show it, and pushed Wang Yan to leave quickly, but she didn't leave, still clinging to the door wall to listen to the movement...

Following Wang Yan into the courtyard, the noise finally stopped.

Ye Xiaolang, whose hair was all frizzy, sat on the ground. Qiao Yichen, who was sitting on the side, had his clothes torn and was also in a mess. Sanli and Simei were controlling Ye Xiaolang, Erqiang was blocking between Yichen and Ye Xiaolang's parents and brother, while Ye Xiaolang's parents and brother were sitting on the other side, with regret on their faces...

Old Qiao was sitting in the corner, fiddling with an enamel mug to drink tea, eating spiced melon seeds and peanuts. He was crossing his legs, swaying. Wang Yan saw that Yichen had glared at his own father more than once as soon as he entered...

Old Qiao seemed to see a savior: "You're finally back, Wang Yan, hurry up and solve it, oh my, the noise, our old Qiao family's face is about to be lost."

Seeing him heartbroken, Qiao Yichen hummed: "The old Qiao family is losing face because of having a father like you." He was also angry and sprayed whoever he caught.

"I won't be as knowledgeable as you." Old Qiao sneered, and drank tea and ate peanuts and melon seeds again.

"Wang Yan, say a fair word! I'm not after your money, and I'm not..." Ye Xiaolang stood up and actually begged Wang Yan, belonging to the kind of sick person who throws medicine at anyone she finds...

The development of things was beyond her expectations; the arrival of her parents and brother disrupted all her thoughts.

Knowing the arrival of her parents and brother, she went to the hotel the next day to find them, wanting to appease them and see what they really wanted to do.

The purpose was told to Qiao Yichen at the beginning, which was to arrange a job for Ye Xiaolang's brother, and then bring her brother's wife over later. Ye Xiaolang's parents didn't want anything; once their son was arranged, they would go back to farming.

From this aspect, Ye Xiaolang's parents were also okay. Knowing they definitely wouldn't be welcomed, they just wanted to arrange their son well...

Ye Xiaolang thought that for the old Qiao family, for Wang Yan, arranging a job for her brother was not a difficult thing, and it could be done easily with one sentence. After all, as far as she knew, the old Qiao family and the old Qi family actually had relatives and friends working at Zhiwei, and even some people in the same Shamao Lane were working at Zhiwei.

If these unrelated people could be arranged, there was no reason for Qiao Yichen not to do things for his wife's brother, his own brother-in-law. It was just a question of what position and how much money.

But Ye Xiaolang didn't want to satisfy her parents' wishes so easily; otherwise, once this start was made, wouldn't they eat her alive in the future, constantly coming to make a scene and pestering her, and she would have to comply and give money?

So she refused without hesitation at the first time, and recounted the hardships of the past many years, condemned her parents' partiality, and angrily scolded her brother for being ignorant and unpromising. After tangling back and forth like this for two days, she finally agreed to arrange a job for her brother.

Just as Ye Xiaolang thought, Qiao Yichen didn't refuse this kind of thing. And it wasn't a leadership position, just a grassroots worker; Qiao Yichen didn't need to refuse this kind of thing.

So Qiao Yichen found Simei and sent the person to the factory. As a result, it didn't take two days. After this kid actually understood, he felt the work was tiring and the money earned was little, which was very mismatched with the level of his good brother-in-law's family he had learned about. Because of his good brother-in-law's relationship, he was very arrogant. As soon as he arrived at the factory, he wanted to lecture the production team leader, didn't listen to orders, and even fought with people after being told a few words.

So he came back, found his parents who hadn't left, added oil and vinegar to tell the situation, and then found Ye Xiaolang again.

Immediately after, after another communication from Ye Xiaolang, she wanted to give some more money, but it was absolutely impossible to arrange a leadership position for her own brother, or any other position that controlled resources and handled money. She still had a count on this point.

Of course, her having a count wasn't because her understanding was correct, but because she was annoyed by these people in her family. She didn't want these people to take advantage of her and suck her blood. If she had enough wisdom, how could she be so impatient to play some little tricks?

But Ye Xiaolang's parents still knew the difference between being full once and being full every meal, let alone the money given wasn't much. Of course, they didn't agree and threatened to go to the unit to make a scene.

Ye Xiaolang had no choice but to test and want Qiao Yichen to arrange a slightly better position. But she hadn't considered the inconsistency of her previous and subsequent words. Initially, she said she would absolutely not compromise, and then she retreated to rent a house, arrange a job, and now she wanted to give money and change jobs again.

Then what was the meaning of tossing around like this? Was everything before Ye Xiaolang's performance?

If it was Qiao Yichen who was full of Ye Xiaolang before, then obviously there was no problem. But it was precisely because Qiao Yichen was exhausted after experiencing many arguments, which made him sober and re-examine this relationship, that Ye Xiaolang's problems were exposed.

So Qiao Yichen refused and said, "Sometimes I suspect it was you who let your parents bring your brother." This sentence was undoubtedly quite sharp in the current relationship between the two, and then a bigger argument broke out.

The stimulated Ye Xiaolang had no good words for the parents and brother who caused all this for her, which made her parents and brother unhappy. They simply didn't comply and forced her to comply, directly finding Qiao Yichen's unit.

After making a scene for another two days, Qiao Yichen finally couldn't hold on and wanted to divorce Ye Xiaolang. At this time, Ye Xiaolang finally panicked, so she took her family to the old Qiao house to sell misery and beg for forgiveness...

Wang Yan waved his hand to interrupt Ye Xiaolang's words and looked at Qiao Yichen: "Really decided?"

"It's already made such a scene, what other way is there to go? It's impossible to live together reluctantly." Qiao Yichen let out a long breath.

"No, Yichen, I'll change, I can change everything!" Ye Xiaolang's panic couldn't be hidden.

"You are also a college student. My big brother said he can't live on, you can understand, why are you still pestering here?" Simei was disgusted, "Can't you leave yourself some decency? Do you have to make it so ugly?"

"I..."

Wang Yan waved his hand again to interrupt Ye Xiaolang's words: "Go, go back and calm down."

"Why?" Ye Xiaolang stared, stiffening her neck, "I just don't understand, which sentence did I say wrong? Why are you targeting me so much? From the moment I married Qiao Yichen, you didn't treat me as one of your own. You all thought I was taking advantage of your family, but did I really take any advantage?"

"You don't need to wave your hand at me, Wang Yan, I just want to say, I..."

Wang Yan said: "From the moment you stole Big Brother Yichen's article, the two of you couldn't last long. In this life, character is still very important. You don't need to say anything about giving the editor's name. Song Qingyuan is right. You didn't think much when you took pictures with the camera, didn't think much when you handed it in, and didn't think much when it was published. Then when did you think much?"

"As for the things you said later, like taking advantage, you know your own mind best. Saying you didn't mean it, saying you didn't think so, is meaningless. We are not police handling cases, no need to send for prosecution, no need to be so clear about the rules. Go back."

"I..." Ye Xiaolang still wanted to open her mouth to argue, but under Wang Yan's gaze, the rotten words that reached her mouth were all swallowed back.

"You guys have money, but you can't bully people like this, right? Are you still going to reason? I know you are a gangster, I'm not afraid of you, let me tell you..."

On the other side, seeing Ye Xiaolang quiet down in a few words, Ye Xiaolang's parents and brother started to make a scene, and even the old guy lay on the ground and played the rogue.

Wang Yan didn't say a word, dialed the number with his big brother phone, and then sat next to Old Qiao, fiddling with peanuts and melon seeds to eat. Old Qiao was also very considerate and poured a cup of tea, saying that peanuts and melon seeds were salty when fried, and drinking tea would relieve it...

Just under everyone's gaze, Ye Xiaolang's parents were making a scene and playing the rogue. Ye Xiaolang's brother still wanted some face, couldn't say anything after a few words. Ye Xiaolang stood blankly on the side watching, perhaps still holding the idea that her parents could make her marriage back...

It didn't take a minute, a burst of footsteps came, and immediately after, a group of people entered the old Qiao house, filling the small courtyard all at once.

"Send them out, send them all to Big Brother Yichen's house, the address is..." Wang Yan smiled and looked at the frightened family, "Since it's like this, don't force it, go, go."

"Yichen~" Ye Xiaolang's eyes were helpless.

Seeing Wang Yan wave his hand, two people went over and lifted Ye Xiaolang up from left and right. Her parents and brother had the same encounter. Amidst the cursing, struggling, and kicking of the whole family, and under the onlookers of the surrounding neighbors, this family was taken to several cars, and then drove away in a puff of smoke.

After a while, I heard Aunt Wu scolding outside at the top of her voice.

"What are you guys thinking one by one? Still reporting to the police! Wang Yan is a serious businessman, do you really think he is a gangster? Even if he is, so many people are watching, if he makes them something bad, how will he explain it then?"

"Oh my, you guys listen, this Aunt Wu, how good she is at selling favors. She has to shout at the top of her voice to let you hear, her intentions are sinister, her heart is bad!" Old Qiao spat melon seed shells on the ground.

"Don't point at the mulberry and scold the locust!" Qiao Yichen said in a muffled voice, "If it hadn't reached this point, I wouldn't have known she was such a person."

Old Qiao hummed and didn't speak again.

Sanli said: "Wang Yan, what did you just say about stealing the manuscript?"

"That's right, when did this happen, why don't we know?" Erqiang also followed up.

So Wang Yan told the reason, Qiao Yichen sat there sighing helplessly, he felt extremely uncomfortable at this time.

The considerate people of the old Qiao family didn't say anything more about this matter. Simei shifted the topic: "Brother Yan, my sister said you were drinking with Brother Min and the others before?"

"That's right, ran back halfway through eating."

"Just right, isn't there someone buying drunkenness? We haven't eaten at home for a while, we'll go buy groceries, you, the big chef, work hard?"

Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "Okay, I haven't eaten enough yet."

"Go, go, go, Second Brother, hurry up and drive me to buy groceries."

Qiao Yichen sat there covering his face. After a long while, he raised his head: "Wang Yan..."

"I didn't say anything, don't blackmail people. Ye Xiaolang is your wife, and the one who is exhausted and worried is you. I don't have any trouble. If you really want to say it, I'm still watching the fun. Just before coming here, Song Qingyuan was talking about your father-in-law making trouble at your unit."

"Oh my, Wang Yan..." Sanli glared over angrily.

"It's okay, it's all my own fault, it's all my own fault..."

Qiao Yichen sighed...
