Ye Mo gazed at her and said, word by word, "Then of course you're jealous that they're living a happier and more fulfilling life than you!"
Chapter 93, Side Story 2: Actually Ye Mo had always found it very strange...
Ye Mo had always found it strange.
If Zheng Lingyin's actions were motivated by revenge, why did she wait until Ye Zhipeng and his wife's fourth child was born? Mingming had three more opportunities to strike.
Of course, it's also possible that she just hadn't found an opportunity to act, but Ye Mo had a feeling that the reason wasn't like that, so she had someone investigate Zheng Lingyin's life.
"Coincidentally, after investigating, I discovered something interesting..." Ye Mo gazed at Zheng Lingyin, whose expression was one of embarrassment and annoyance, with a half-smile, "I discovered that after you and my father broke off your engagement, you actually had three marriages, but each one ended without a trace."
"Your first marriage was marked by domestic violence. He frequently assaulted you after you got together, causing you to be arrested several times. The relationship ended in less than a year."
"And in your second marriage, the man was a gambler. After marrying you, he secretly transferred your assets, and by the time you found out, you had already lost a large sum of money."
"As for your third marriage... this man treated you very well, which is why your marriage lasted the longest. However, this man was a womanizer and had several mistresses besides you."
As Ye Mo recounted his story, Zheng Lingyin's expression grew increasingly grim. She glared at Ye Mo and said fiercely, "What business is it of yours what my marriage and relationships are? You think you can hurt me by talking about these past events? You're dreaming."
Ye Mo glanced at her indifferently and said, "I haven't finished speaking yet..."
"Your marriage is so terrible, but look at my parents, they are a loving and harmonious couple, well-known in our circle. It's a stark contrast to your marriage."
"Shut up!" Zheng Lingyin suddenly shouted, charging towards Ye Mo with her claws outstretched. "You're not allowed to say another word!"
Ye Mo took a step back and saw her lunge at nothing, stumble, and fall to the ground.
Ye Mo looked down at her, saying each word slowly and deliberately, "You see my parents being so loving, and the more jealous you become, the more jealous you get, and that jealousy gradually turns into hatred! The more unhappy you are, the more you hate them, the more jealous you become... because their happiness seems to mock your misfortune..."
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" Zheng Lingyin's expression turned ferocious. At this moment, she was nowhere to be seen the elegance she had shown when Ye Mo first met her. All that remained was the embarrassment and anger of someone whose sore spot had been hit.
Ye Mo sneered, tearing away the last layer of skin from her face, and said, word by word, "You say my parents betrayed you, so you want to take revenge on them? But you're doing all this clearly just out of jealousy!"
Zheng Lingyin bit her lip tightly.
She was fifty-six years old, no longer young. Despite her efforts to maintain her appearance, her face was still marked by the passage of time, and now, each of those marks was filled with shame and indignation.
Ye Lin glanced at Ye Mo, a hint of admiration in his eyes—as expected of someone from the Ye Family, always choosing to rub salt in the wounds of their enemies.
"Ms. Zheng, over the years, because of my parents' situation, the Ye Corporation has taken great care of your Zheng Family. If it weren't for that, how could your Zheng Family have enjoyed so many years of prosperity?" Ye Lin stated a fact. "Even if my parents wronged you, they have long since paid back all those debts over the years."
Thirty years ago, the Zheng Corporation was comparable to the Ye Corporation. However, due to a series of mistakes by the decision-makers of the Zheng Corporation, the Zheng Corporation has long since declined. If it weren't for the help of the Ye Corporation, it would probably have gone bankrupt long ago.
In stark contrast, the Ye Corporation Ye Corporation, under Ye Lin's leadership, reached new heights, surpassing its former glory.
Ye Lin believed that his Ye Family owed the Zheng Family nothing, and after learning what Zheng Lingyin had done, it was now the Zheng Family who should be apologizing to the Ye Family.
So, what gives the Zheng Family the audacity to show their face at our door?
Zheng Lingyin was in a sorry state. She looked at Ye Lin and Ye Mo with a jealousy in her eyes that she herself did not realize.
The more outstanding Ye Mo and Ye Lin were, the more resentful she became, and she couldn't help but question: Why, why are Ruan Xianyue's children so outstanding?
Ye Mo was right. She was jealous. She was jealous of Ruan Xianyue, jealous of Ruan Xianyue's happy marriage and sensible children. The happier Ruan Xianyue was, the more miserable she seemed.
Therefore, she abandoned Ruan Xianyue's daughter, wanting Ruan Xianyue to raise someone else's child and watch her pour all her love into that child.
The thought that Ruan Xianyue's own child had died somewhere, and that Ruan Xianyue was completely unaware of it, filled Zheng Lingyin with an overwhelming sense of pleasure.
It's just a pity that the child didn't die, and even more surprisingly, was found...
Zheng Lingyin glared at Ye Mo with resentment, then suddenly said, "You must be feeling terrible, right? When you were suffering in the countryside, being beaten and abused by your adoptive parents, your parents and brothers were doting on a little sister who came from who-knows-where..."
Even if you are found, they still love another child more. They treat you differently from that girl. You should have sensed this yourself, right?
She looked intently at Ye Mo, asking from the bottom of her heart, "Can you really say you have absolutely no resentment about all of this? I don't think so."
Anyone could tell that Zheng Lingyin was trying to sow discord. Ye Zhipeng couldn't help but look nervously at Ye Mo, afraid that she would be influenced by Zheng Lingyin's words.
Upon hearing this, Ye Mo replied, "Actually, it's alright."
Then he said something that even the Zheng Family couldn't quite understand.
She said, "I believe that where there is money, there is love!"
Ye Zhipeng and his wife gave her shares in Ye Corporation's Group; that's real money, isn't that enough?
Ye Mo didn't know about the others, but for her, this love was enough. They were people she had never been with before, so what else was there to pursue?
*
In the end, Ye Zhipeng basically had the servants kick the Zheng Family out; he was truly angered by Zheng Lingyin's words.
"I knew I shouldn't have let them in!" he said grumbled, adding, "It's a good thing your mother wasn't here, or she would have been really upset."
As a renowned pianist, Ruan Xianyue has been away from China for the past two months, participating in concerts abroad.
Compared to his emotional outburst, Ye Lin and his sister appeared extremely calm.
"Are you going out?" Ye Lin looked at Ye Mo, who was clearly dressed up, and her already radiant appearance made her even more eye-catching.
Ye Mo nodded readily and said, "I want to have dinner with He Mingzhang."
Ye Lin paused for a moment, then said, " Uncle He has been pursuing you for four years. Shouldn't you say yes to him? You can't let Uncle He stay by your side without any official status, can you?"
Hearing the word "four years, "Ye Mo was somewhat dazed, suddenly realizing: Ah, so four years have already passed.
When she got into university, she devoted most of her time to her studies. However, she didn't exactly retire from the entertainment industry. In four years, she produced two dramas. But apart from news related to the dramas, news about her personally was rarely exposed online.
Now, four years have passed, and she is about to graduate from university. She and He Mingzhang have maintained contact over the past four years, but there has never been a concrete explanation for their relationship.
Ye Mo snapped out of her daze, rolled her eyes at Ye Lin, and said rather rudely, "That's really awful of you to say. What do you mean by 'following me without a title or status'? It makes it sound like He Mingzhang is some kind of lover I can't show my face in public."
