As soon as Liu Bei returned, he immediately sought out Liu Wen, insisting that she send Yang Juanjuan home and not allow her to continue living in the Liu household.
If Liu Wen wanted to interfere in the affairs of the Liu family, the most direct way to do so would be to bring Yang Juanjuan into the family. Once Yang Juanjuan became the mistress of the Liu household, they could take over openly.
Moreover, for Liu Bei, if possible, he still wanted to maintain a sense of familial connection with Liu Wen's family without causing any conflict.
As long as they sent Yang Juanjuan back, she would no longer have the audacity to cling to the Liu household. At that point, he could persuade her a little, and she would likely return on her own.
It must be said that sometimes Liu Bei's thoughts were naively questionable; in reality, things were not so simple.
“Liu Bei, what did you say? Can you repeat that?”
Liu Wen said in disbelief, “You actually want me to send Juanjuan away? What are you trying to do?”
Liu Bei's attitude was respectful, but anyone could see his determination: “Miss Yang is a young lady; it is inappropriate for her to stay at a male relative's house for too long. If Aunt truly cares for her, it would be best to send her home as soon as possible.”
“Brother Liu Bei, how can you say that? Haven't we been getting along well? Why do you suddenly want to drive me away?”
Yang Juanjuan was taken aback by the bad news, tears welling up in her eyes as she twisted her handkerchief and looked at Liu Bei with a pitiful expression.
Liu Bei understood that their relationship was unclear; in fact, Yang Juanjuan was merely a tool for Liu Wen. While Liu Wen might have some affection for her, it certainly did not compare to the importance of the Liu family.
“Aunt, I will hire a car shortly. Please help Miss Yang pack her things.”
Liu Bei decided to act according to his own intentions. If he didn’t take decisive action, he feared that this matter would drag on indefinitely.
Seeing that Liu Bei showed no mercy and was determined to send her away, Yang Juanjuan burst into tears and clutched Liu Wen's sleeve, seeking help from her: “Aunt Wen, look at Brother Liu Bei! Please persuade him not to drive me away.”
"Don't cry, Aunt Wen will stand up for you!" Liu Wen said angrily as she pointed at Liu Beibei. "Liu Beibei, you've suddenly become so cold-hearted. I know this isn't your true nature. Is it that Ye Xiaohan, that bitch, has been stirring trouble in front of you? Is she the one who wants you to drive us, Juanjuan, away?"
Liu Wen was overly confident; Ye Xiaohan wanted more than just to get Yang Juanjuan out. The main goal was to drive this peculiar couple away.
Seeing that Liu Wen held a biased view against Ye Xiaohan without any self-reflection, Liu Beibei felt a chill in his heart. He found it strange that despite their family being decent people and his father being kind, his father's siblings were so selfish.
Since they couldn't communicate, Liu Beibei decided not to waste any more words and headed straight for the door to hire a car.
Liu Wen became anxious. Liu Beibei's actions must have been provoked by Ye Xiaohan. If they sent Yang Juanjuan away today, they could easily do the same to them tomorrow!
No! She hadn't achieved her purpose for coming to the Liu family; how could she be driven away so easily?
After making up her mind, Liu Wen prepared to cause a scene. She threw aside her dignity, determined to change Liu Beibei's mind and ensure they stayed. Everything could be settled later!
"Liu Beibei, you unfilial descendant! When your father was alive, you called me auntie in front of him and behind him. Now that he's gone, you don't even regard your relatives! You heartless thing! Aren't you afraid your father will come back at night to scold you for being blinded by others?"
Liu Wen slammed her hand on the table and began to berate him, even dragging Liu Beibei's father into the argument to pressure him.
Yang Hua, witnessing his wife's performance, quickly understood her intentions and joined her in reprimanding Liu Beibei.
Yang Juanjuan was deeply hurt by Liu Beibei's indifference and cried on the side, occasionally chiming in to support Liu Wen and her husband, hoping Liu Beibei would take back his previous words.
She couldn't be driven away like this; if she left now, she would never return to the Liu family again. She had quite liked Liu Beibei when Aunt Wen introduced him to her; he seemed like a good person from a wealthy family. Once she entered the Liu household, she could become a ready-made young mistress.
She had envisioned herself flaunting her wealth among her old friends as a prosperous lady. Now all of that seemed like it would turn into nothing but a dream, leaving her heartbroken.
The room was filled with a chaotic mix of curses and cries. Just then, Ye Xiaohan walked in from outside, glanced at the situation inside, and a smile crept onto her lips.
"Listening to the noise, it seems quite lively. Could it be that Aunt and Uncle are expressing their reluctance to part with us? We are truly honored."
Her words nearly drove the people across the room to the brink of fury.
Seeing her, Liu Wen and her husband immediately turned their anger towards Ye Xiaohan, stepping forward as if to strike.
With Liu Bei present, how could they allow Ye Xiaohan to be harmed?
Liu Bei stepped in front of Ye Xiaohan to shield her. He couldn't lay a hand on Liu Wen, but he had no such reservations about Yang Hua: "Aunt, Uncle, don't go too far!"
Ye Xiaohan was quite pleased with his response. She pushed Liu Bei aside and called out loudly, "Aunt, since I'm acknowledging you as part of the Liu family, I'll call you Aunt. As for whether you can handle it, that depends on how thick your skin is!"
"You little bitch! How dare you show up in front of me! What did you do in front of Liu Bei that made him suddenly turn cold towards us relatives?"
Liu Wen's hatred for Ye Xiaohan intensified. If it weren't for this bitch, they could have easily dealt with the Liu family.
Ye Xiaohan scoffed, "You should save those words for when you face the Liu family yourself. I really want to see how you, as an elder of the Liu family, can do such things without feeling guilty! You just mentioned Liu Bei's father; I wonder if you sleep better at night with two extra blankets under you, waking up startled in the middle of the night!"
Liu Wen was struck by her words; she was first taken aback and then filled with rage. This bitch dared to insult an elder right to her face—such a lack of upbringing!
Before Liu Wen and her husband could react, Liu Yang rushed in from outside, hurrying over to Ye Xiaohan and Liu Bei while panting heavily and resting his hands on his knees.
Ye Xiaohan patted his back: "Why are you running so fast? Some people won't disappear unless you push them away."
"Six Bei asked in confusion, 'Six Yang, where have you been? You disappeared early this morning!'
After finally catching his breath, Six Yang stood up straight and shot a glare at the Six Wen couple before turning back to Six Bei. 'Big Brother, we've been deceived!'
He pointed at the Six Wen couple, his anger boiling over. 'I went to Auntie's house early this morning to gather some information! And guess what? It wasn't like Auntie said; she didn't come to the Six family out of concern for us!'
Upon hearing that Six Yang had gone to investigate, the faces of Six Wen and Yang Hua turned pale. If the truth were revealed, they would be utterly humiliated.
Ye Xiaohan glanced at them and urged Six Yang to continue. 'You went to gather information; what did you find out? Share it with everyone.'
'Well,' Six Yang replied, 'I did some digging around, and it turns out Uncle's shop has been struggling for a long time. Not only has the shop been mortgaged, but he also owes a mountain of debt! When I got to their place, I even saw debt collectors loitering outside their door!'
The expressions on Six Wen and Yang Hua's faces darkened further. The truth they had worked so hard to conceal was now laid bare. They had always thought that with Six Bei's honesty and the children's reliance on them, they would surely believe their words without question.
They never expected that someone would secretly investigate and expose their facade so quickly.
Six Wen's eyes flickered as she scanned everyone in front of her one by one.
Of course, the Six family had always been simple-minded and wouldn't resort to such schemes. It had to be that bitch Ye Xiaohan who stirred up trouble and caused a rift in their family!
Six Wen placed all the blame on Ye Xiaohan, showing no reflection on their own greed and selfishness that had led to this situation.
Six Bei was somewhat surprised; he hadn't anticipated that there was such a backstory. At this point, he fully understood the intentions of the Six Wen couple."
