The Ye Family's driver drove up at that moment, and as the car stopped in front of them, Ye Miao suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"I don't think this car can fit all of us. I'm going to get a taxi in the back!" He quickly said this, and without waiting for Ye Lin to say anything, he turned and ran, acting as if he wanted to avoid the situation at all costs.
Suddenly abandoned and left alone, Ye Baozhu felt utterly isolated and helpless. "..."
"I'll go with Third Brother to take a taxi!" she suddenly had an idea.
Ye Mo: "..."
She looked at Ye Lin with a chilling gaze and said, "Big brother, are you a jackal or a tiger? Look how scared you've made them."
Those two were clearly on the verge of fleeing for their lives!
Ye Lin offered no comment, only glancing casually at his "escaping" siblings, and said with a smile, "Get in the car."
Ye Mo's eyelids suddenly twitched.
"Fourth Miss!" After Ye Mo got into the car, Secretary Huang greeted her and handed Ye Mo a small first-aid kit.
Secretary Huang pointed to her cheek. "Ms. Momo, please have your facial wound treated."
Ye Mo touched his right cheek and felt a slight stinging sensation.
Although she was a skilled fighter, in that situation, with a group of people fighting, she inevitably sustained injuries. On her right cheek, there was a cut, but fortunately, it wasn't big, only oozing a little blood, which had already clotted.
"It's nothing," Ye Mo touched his face, completely unconcerned. "Everyone gets hurt in a fight... The most important thing is, we won!"
"Heh." Ye Lin chuckled lightly and said, "You don't seem to care about your face, do you? Aren't you afraid of having scars on it?"
Ye Mo said with some pride, "I have a constitution that doesn't leave scars. I used to have a big cut on my hand, but look, you can't even tell I was ever injured."
She pointed to the spot on her left index finger, where the skin was smooth and there were indeed no scars.
Ye Lin suddenly felt a pang of sadness, and all the words he wanted to say ultimately boiled down to one sentence, "I hope you can take better care of your body in the future."
Ye Mo and his companions returned home safely at 11 p. m. By then, Ye Zhipeng and his wife were already asleep. The couple, who considered themselves to be of advanced age, now had very healthy sleep habits.
Ye Lin did not tell Ye Zhipeng and his wife about their fight, so the couple only found out the next day that Ye Mo and the other two had been taken to the police station the night before for fighting.
Well, in the end, they had to call Ye Lin and ask him to bail them out.
"How could they have gotten into a fight?" Ruan Xianyue felt a mix of heartache, worry, and anger—specifically, anger towards the group of thugs who had clashed with her child.
"It's definitely their fault!" she said confidently, with the air of a doting mother who spoils her son.
Ye Zhipeng: "So, what exactly caused the fight? Ouch, Momo, how did you get hurt on your face... No, I'll have to get insurance for your face later. You're a celebrity, how could those people hurt your face? That's so unsportsmanlike."
Ye Zhipeng's words are somewhat unreasonable. When it's a group fight, of course they'll fight wherever they can get to; who cares about martial ethics then?
Ye Zhipeng then asked how the fight started, and also, "Why did you guys decide to go to a bar?"
Ye Baozhu:!
Ye Miao:!!!
Ye Miao stammered, "What's wrong with bars? We're all adults now, isn't it normal to go to bars?" Because of his nervousness, his voice rose uncontrollably.
Ye Zhipeng glanced at him and said strangely, "I didn't say anything was wrong, why are you so nervous?"
Ye Miao: "Am I nervous?"
Ye Zhipeng nodded firmly, "You do!" He stared sharply at Ye Miao, his expression suspicious. "Are you hiding something from me?"
"!!" Ye Miao chuckled dryly, "Ha, hahaha."
He Momo looked at Ye Mo and Ye Baozhu, his eyes full of pleading. Ye Baozhu met his gaze, her eyes darting away for a moment before she Momo turned her head away, her expression one of elegance and obedience.
Ye Miao:?!
Seeing this, Ye Mo really didn't want to admit that this person was related to him by blood.
"Wasn't Third Brother heartbroken?" Ye Mo asked casually, quickly shifting the blame to Ye Miao. "We just accompanied him to a hotel to drown his sorrows, and we never expected such an accident to happen."
Ye Zhipeng suddenly realized, then asked in surprise, "Did the third brother break up with his girlfriend?"
Although she had indeed broken up with her boyfriend, Ye Miao, feeling like she had been made a scapegoat, nodded with a tearful smile, reluctantly accepting this "crime."
When Ye Zhipeng learned about Ye Miao's heartbreak and discovered that Ye Miao had been cheated on countless times, a hesitant expression appeared on his face.
"Third brother, you..."
..."
Ye Miao felt a pity in his father's eyes that seemed to hold a thousand unspoken words. His heart clenched, and he couldn't help but look at Ye Mo with a hint of resentment—you've really ruined me!
Ye Mo pretended not to see his accusing gaze. After all, she had told the truth from beginning to end; she had just left out some things.
*
In the absence of Ye Zhipeng and Ruan Xianyue, Ye Baozhu looked at Ye Mo with a complicated expression.
"Why didn't you just tell Mom and Dad that I caused all this?" she asked Ye Mo. "Why didn't you tell them that I wasn't some obedient daughter, and that I was secretly forming a band in a bar?"
Ye Mo countered with, "Why should I say that?"
Ye Mo smiled and said slowly, "Obviously, it's in my best interest not to tell Mom and Dad about this. As long as I don't tell them, you'll be under my threat every day, won't you?"
She looked at Ye Baozhu with a smile and said, "So, in the future, if you're ever up to something naughty or want to cause trouble, think about this first. Otherwise, I'm afraid I might accidentally tell Mom and Dad everything."
Her meaning was clear: leverage, of course, is something you hold in your own hands; once it's been revealed, it's useless.
Ye Baozhu, understanding her meaning, said, "... You really aren't a good person!"
She was really about to cry; she was so angry with Ye Mo.
Chapter 88. Ye Mo's face was injured...
Ye Mo had an injury on his face and wasn't one to join in the fun, so he simply asked his agent, Shen Yan, to turn down all his upcoming offers and started staying home to hibernate.
After the incident at the bar, she searched online but found no information about herself, leading her to suspect that someone had suppressed the news.
However, the story of Ye Miao being cuckolded so many times was perhaps too rare for one person, yet it remained a hot topic online for several days. People kept finding it interesting and entertaining, and Ye Miao even became a "minor celebrity" in the process.
Ye Miao: "..." Do you want this good fortune?
Depressed by this incident, after returning from a trip out, he followed Ye Mo's example and hibernated at home, deciding not to go out at all.
Ye Mo:??
Ye Lin later told her the reason: Ye Miao had gone out to play with his friends, but was ridiculed and pitied because of this incident. His self-esteem was shattered, and it seemed that he didn't want to appear in front of people again for a while.
Five days later, He Mingzhang came to visit Ye Mo at home. He didn't know how he found out that Ye Mo had gotten into a fight and ended up in the police station.
"It's just a minor injury on my face, look." Ye Mo showed him the wound on his cheek, "It's already scabbed over, it'll be fine in a couple of days."
