Chapter 173: You Should Be Reasonable
"That's right, he really is just a driver." The two of them desperately tried to comfort themselves; only then could they feel slightly better.
Chen Yu had an enormous private garage in his basement that could easily fit four cars. Currently, three brand-new cars were parked there, which left Ye Xinyu and Ye Qian, who had just finished work, dumbfounded.
"Honey, what is this for? Where did these cars come from?" Ye Xinyu asked in shock.
"I just bought them. This E-Class is yours; drive this to work from now on. I'll use the other one to get around, as I sometimes need to discuss business," Chen Yu said with a smile.
"Then whose is this GT?" Ye Qian asked, looking up.
"A birthday gift for you. Happy early birthday," Chen Yu smiled slightly.
"Wow, brother-in-law, you're too good! I really love you so much, I like it so much!" Ye Qian excitedly hugged Chen Yu, then sprawled herself over the car: "This is the car I've been longing for."
"Honey, a car for getting around is enough, why buy such expensive ones?" Ye Xinyu said with a hint of resentment: "Besides, Qianqian is teaching ethnic music at school now; will driving this car to school have any negative impact?"
"Sister, don't overthink it. The Qunxing School I'm at focuses on the arts. It's all wealthy people sending their children there, planning to groom them into stars or internet celebrities. This car is small potatoes there," Ye Qian said, not caring at all.
"You should still be mindful of the influence," Ye Xinyu said crossly.
"Alright, sister, I know. Brother-in-law, thank you so much," Ye Qian chuckled, wishing she could hug Chen Yu and kiss him a few times.
"Also, I'll find you a driver to take you around exclusively from now on," Chen Yu said.
"Why find a driver? I can drive myself," Ye Xinyu quickly said: "Honey, don't waste money even if you have it. Half of my salary would have to go to the driver."
"This is also for your convenience. Look at you, you're still working with such a big belly," Chen Yu smiled.
"I'm not that delicate. Alright, I know you're good to me, but I really don't need it," Ye Xinyu giggled and walked upstairs, arm-in-arm with Chen Yu.
Just as they went up, they received a call from her mother-in-law, Wang Xueqin: "Xinyu, your dad had a heart attack and is still in the hospital. Wuwu, you and Qianqian, come quickly."
"What? Mom, don't panic, I'm coming right now," Ye Xinyu panicked as soon as she heard: "Qianqian, Dad is sick..."
"Sister, how could this happen?" Ye Qian was also a bit panicked.
"Dad is sick, honey, I..." Ye Xinyu looked at Chen Yu with teary eyes.
Originally, she had been hard-hearted about cutting off all ties with her maiden family, but with her closest kin sick, Ye Xinyu still couldn't control her emotions.
"Don't worry, I'll go with you to take a look. Let's go," Chen Yu quickly comforted her.
At the hospital, in an intensive care unit, Ye Taihe was still unconscious. Wang Xueqin's eyes were red from crying. Don't look at how fierce she usually was; her husband was the pillar of the family, and once he collapsed, she lost her backbone.
Ye Chenguang was hanging his head in dejection on the side; this guy had been dealt with by others more than once.
"Xinyu, you've finally come. Your dad has been unconscious for so long and hasn't passed the danger zone yet," Wang Xueqin burst into tears the moment she saw her daughter.
"Mom, don't worry. Let Chen Yu take a look. What did the Yisheng say? Dad is usually fine, how could he suddenly get sick?" The Ye sisters helped her sit down.
"It's all because of that bitch Zhou Lu. She wants to divorce your older brother and split half of our family's assets. If we don't split it, she comes to cause trouble every day. Your dad was purely angered into this," Wang Xueqin cried wailingly: "Why is my Life so bitter?"
"Xinyu, don't worry. Your dad is fine. I'll prescribe some medicine, and he'll be better after a few days of recovery," Chen Yu checked Ye Taihe's condition and learned there was no major issue; he had simply been angered into this state.
"Chen Yu, is your dad really okay? I know we looked down on you before, but after all, I entrusted Xinyu to you. We don't have such deep hatred between us, right?" Wang Xueqin wiped her tears and began to play the victim.
In fact, Ye Chenguang had been constantly harassed by those loan sharks, and she knew a thing or two about it. She also knew that she couldn't afford to provoke the current Chen Yu, so she could only soften her stance.
"I was also in the wrong before. You're right, we don't have any irreconcilable hatred," Chen Yu glanced at Ye Chenguang: "However, your son is grown up; he should be able to rely on his own hands to earn money and support his family. If a son doesn't strive, even if his parents support him, he won't be able to stand up."
"Chen Yu, I know. I will definitely turn over a new leaf from now on. Don't worry, I will work hard," Ye Chenguang was truly determined to change this time.
"Mom, what's going on with sister-in-law?" Ye Qian asked: "Weren't she and big brother doing fine? Why do they want to divorce?"
"That bitch Zhou Lu, she went behind my back to find a wild man outside. Now it's me who doesn't want her," Ye Chenguang said angrily: "Her lover has some power, and plus her second brother returned from the border, so she's acting all high and mighty."
"Yes, she is just a bitch. When she was in our Ye Family, I treated her carefully and never dared to provoke her or make her unhappy. Over these years, she has also siphoned many benefits from our family for her own maiden family."
"But now it's clearly her who cheated, yet she still wants to split our Ye Family's assets. She wants us to sell the house we live in now and split half the money. You tell me, where is the logic in that?" Wang Xueqin said indignantly.
Chen Yu glanced at Wang Xueqin, seeing her current righteous and indignant appearance, not realizing that she herself used to be like that too.
"It's okay, Mom. They can't just be unreasonable. If it really doesn't work, we'll go through legal channels," Ye Qian comforted her.
"Your dad is such a proud person, how could he stand going through legal channels?" Wang Xueqin said and started crying again: "Why is my Life so bitter?"
"Wang Xueqin, today's matter must be resolved. Otherwise, I'm not finished with you Ye Family," Zhou Lu said, walking over with a large group of people.
She was also holding onto a bald man, and the man had tattoos on his arms; the momentum looked quite intimidating.
"Zhou Lu, what do you want to do? Do you still have any shame? You aren't divorced yet, you are still the daughter-in-law of my Ye Family. You actually go around fooling around with other men in public?" Wang Xueqin was almost exploding with anger.
It was fortunate that Ye Taihe was unconscious; otherwise, he would probably have been angered into a faint seeing this situation.
"Won't we be divorced once you sign the agreement? I want half of the Ye Family's assets, otherwise, my husband will beat you all to death," Zhou Lu snorted coldly, her attitude extremely arrogant.
"You shameless thing, you're already calling him husband now, I, I..." Wang Xueqin was really about to be angered to death.
"Zhou Lu, you were at least married into our Ye Family properly. If you're tired of it and want to remarry someone else, that's not our business, but you aren't divorced yet. Do you really have any shame acting like this?" Ye Xinyu said with a cold face.
"I'll do whatever I want. If you're not convinced, go sue me?" Zhou Lu pulled the bald man and acted coquettishly: "Husband, it's this family that is shamelessly refusing to divorce me. If I don't divorce, I can't be with you openly."
