"Yes, my parents did indeed have an affair behind your back, but do you think that counts as betrayal?" Ye Lin asked pointedly. "The marriage between the Ye and Zheng families was originally a business arrangement, and you have repeatedly expressed your dissatisfaction with this marriage in public!"

"Furthermore, my parents were together after my father broke off his engagement with you, so how can there be any talk of betrayal between you two?"

Ye Lin sneered, "During the engagement, you were dismissive of the marriage, but after it was dissolved, you feel betrayed by my parents. Isn't that a bit shameless?"

Zheng Lingyin blushed at his words and said, "But your mother is my best friend. No matter what, she can't be with my ex-fiancé, can she?"

Ye Lin: "So, this is why you switched my sister and had her dumped in a trash can at a train station a thousand miles away? Ms. Zheng, has anyone ever told you that you are shameless?"

Zheng Lingyin: "That's enough! No matter what, I'm still your elder! Ye Zhipeng, are you really going to let your son humiliate me like this?"

Ye Zhipeng: "... Ah, well, the child is grown up, and I really can't control him anymore. Could you please be more understanding and not hold it against him?"

Zheng Lingyin:?? Such a big child?

Ye Lin said coldly, "Ms. Zheng, you don't need to look for my father. I can tell you directly that I am now the head of the Ye Family. As long as I am here, the Ye Corporation's actions against your Zheng Corporation will never stop!"

Zheng Lingyin was furious. She shouted, "How could you do this?"

Ye Lin raised an eyebrow and said, "Of course I can do that. If it weren't for the fact that so much time has passed and I couldn't find any evidence that you switched the children, Ms. Zheng, you should be sitting in jail, not sitting in front of me."

"Ye Zhipeng, are you just going to let your son humiliate me?" Zheng Lingyin angrily.

Ye Zhipeng: "You've heard from my son that he's the head of the Ye Family now, not me. What he wants to do is none of my business. Besides, what makes you think I'd stand up for you, a woman who almost killed my daughter and made her suffer so much for so many years?"

Ye Zhipeng's eyes turned cold as he stared at the three members of the Zheng Family. "I don't recall ever leaving you with any impression of being merciful."

Zheng Lingyin's face turned pale, and the other two members of the Zheng Family also looked rather grim. They had expected Ye Zhipeng to be cold and unfriendly to Zheng Lingyin, but they hadn't anticipated that he would be so utterly ruthless. Mingming after their engagement ended, he had always been kind and gentle to Zheng Lingyin; why had his attitude changed so drastically now?

Fortunately, Ye Zhipeng didn't understand the Zheng Family's thought process; if he had, he would definitely have rolled his eyes.

Could things be the same before? Before, he and Ruan Xianyue felt somewhat guilty towards Zheng Lingyin, so they naturally gave her more leeway. But now? Now they know all the bad things she's done, how could they possibly treat her the same way they used to? It's already a miracle if they don't feel disgusted when they see her now.

Seeing the unyielding attitude of Ye Zhipeng and his son, the Zheng Family knew they couldn't get through to Zheng Lingyin. Zheng Lingyin's father said in a low voice, "Zhipeng, our two families have been friends for so many years. I know Lingyin was wrong, but so many years have passed, and that child named Ye Mo is fine, isn't he? And now he's been found. Why bother arguing with us about this anymore?"

Ye Zhipeng was furious upon hearing this. Just as he was about to say something, Ye Mo's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"So that's why it's so noisy today. Turns out there are three dogs barking here." Ye Mo's voice was light and cheerful. As her voice rang out, her figure came into view of Ye Zhipeng and the others.

Ye Zhipeng subconsciously straightened his back, stood up, and said, "Momo, why did you come down?"

Ye Mo's gaze lightly fell on the three members of the Zheng Family, and she said, "I heard a mad dog barking wildly, so of course I had to come downstairs to check it out." Her tone of voice, coupled with the way she stared at the Zheng Family, made it clear who the "mad dog" she was referring to was.

Zheng Lingyin had never been insulted like this before. Her expression immediately fell, and she glared at Ye Mo, demanding, "You're the daughter the Ye Family found? Tch, you really are from the countryside, you don't know any manners at all. Didn't your parents teach you anything about politeness?"

Ye Mo walked over, stood in front of Zheng Lingyin, looked down at her, and said, "My parents naturally taught me what manners are, but they didn't teach me to be polite even to animals."

Zheng Lingyin stood up in a rage. "You little bitch, who are you calling a beast?"

"Smack!"

Before she could finish her swearing, she was slapped across the face. Zheng Lingyin's eyes widened, still not understanding what had happened. She looked at Ye Mo in disbelief. "You, you dare to hit me?"

Ye Mo simply gave her a kind smile in response to her words, and then slapped her across the face again.

"I've wanted to hit you for a long time!" Ye Mo said, reaching out to grab Zheng Lingyin's neck and shoving her onto the sofa. She then proceeded to deliver several punches, viciously saying as she punched him, "I couldn't hit you before because you were abroad, but I didn't expect you to come to my doorstep!"

This woman had practically delivered herself to her doorstep to get beaten up, so why not? Besides, she'd been wanting to beat this woman up for a long time.

Zheng Lingyin screamed, clutching her head as she was beaten. "Ah! Stop! Stop it! Dad! Big brother!"

The Zheng Family father and son woke up with a start and rushed over to stop Ye Mo. Ye Lin also happened to come over at this time to "persuade" Ye Mo, shouting, "Momo, Momo, stop! Don't hit people! This is immoral behavior..."

Unfortunately, no matter how he moved, his body just happened to block the Zheng Family father and son, blocking them completely.

"Stop hitting him! Stop hitting him!" Zheng Lingyin's 83-year-old father screamed like a rooster crowing at the top of its lungs, stamping his feet in anger.

Seeing that things had gone too far, Ye Lin stepped forward and pretended to stop Ye Mo, saying, "That's enough, don't really hurt him."

He glanced at Zheng Lingyin, who was holding her head, and said, "She's over fifty years old, don't mistreat her."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Lingyin:!!

Zheng Lingyin's older brother glared at Ye Zhipeng and demanded, "Ye Zhipeng, are you just going to stand by and watch your son and daughter beat people? Is there no law anymore?"

Ye Zhipeng: "..."

He took a step back, indicating, "My children's behavior is none of my business; I can't control it."

The Zheng Family: "..."

"Aren't you afraid we'll call the police?" The Zheng Family's true colors were revealed.

Ye Mo scoffed, "That's perfect. Let's ask the police what the charges are for switching someone else's child and abandoning the child... Before, when Ms. Zheng was abroad, it was difficult to investigate, but now that she's back... Ha."

Her final shout was very spiritual, and the Zheng Family panicked upon hearing it.

Looking at Zheng Lingyin's already swollen cheeks, Ye Mo tilted his head slightly and asked with some curiosity, "Actually, I've always been curious, Ms. Zheng, when you had me and Ye Baozhu switched, was it really as you said, revenge for my parents' betrayal, or... was it purely out of jealousy towards them?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Lingyin's pupils trembled slightly. She said, "What a joke! What is there for me to be jealous of?"
