"It's our fault, your father and I are useless..." Ruan Xianyue blamed herself, "We Mingming the ones who have wronged her, yet you have suffered so much and been subjected to this undeserved calamity. You have endured so much hardship over the years."

As she said this, there was a hint of resentment in her tone, clearly indicating that she was not entirely without hatred or anger towards Zheng Lingyin for this matter.

"... Your mother and I really didn't intend to protect Yuan Yongkang. If we had known he was involved, we would have taught him a lesson long ago, instead of waiting until now! So, please don't be angry with your mother and me." Ye Zhipeng pulled Ruan Xianyue and looked at Ye Mo expectantly.

Ye Mo: "..."

"Don't you think I went too far?" she asked. "I posted what he did online, and now it's hard to say whether he can still be a doctor. I even suggested that the old man in the Yuan Family kick Yuan Yongkang out of the Yuan Family..."

"He deserves it all, Yuan Yongkang!" Ye Zhipeng interrupted her before she could continue, "No matter what you do to him, he deserves it, he's the one who got what he deserves! And even if you hadn't done anything, I wouldn't have let him get away with it..."

Ye Zhipeng narrowed his eyes, a ruthless glint in them. "Don't worry, I guarantee you, no hospital in China will ever hire Yuan Yongkang again!"

Ye Mo looked at him in surprise, "Are you serious?"

Ye Zhipeng: "... Of course it's true. Didn't you say you didn't want him to be a doctor anymore?"

Ye Mo felt she needed to explain further, so she said, "It's not that I don't want him to be a doctor anymore, I just feel he doesn't deserve to be one..."

To reiterate, if Yuan Yongkang could forget his responsibilities as a doctor because of Zheng Lingyin, then such a thing could happen again in the future. Who knows, next time he might even murder Zheng Lingyin for money?

Call her an alarmist or think the worst of people if you will, but that's how Ye Mo thought.

Ye Zhipeng nodded. "You're right. If someone like him continues to be a doctor, he'll only cause trouble... So, are you willing to forgive me and your mother?"

Ye Mo: "..."

"I'm not angry with you guys," she said helplessly. "Even if you chose Yuan Yongkang Yuan Yongkang me, I wouldn't be angry. After all, he's been your friend for so many years."

He had heard from 888 about the relationship between Ye Zhipeng and Yuan Yongkang. The two had been playing together since they were children and had been friends for most of their lives. So if Ye Zhipeng gave up her, his adopted daughter, because of Yuan Yongkang, Ye Mo could understand it and wouldn't be angry or sad—she had long been prepared for the possibility that she would be the one who wasn't favored.

Ye Mo thought her words were very understanding, but she didn't expect that Ye Zhipeng and Ruan Xianyue would look at her with some discomfort after she said them.

"Momo!" After a few seconds of silence, Ye Zhipeng said to Ye Mo with a serious expression, "I hope you remember that no matter what happens, in your mother's and my eyes, you are the most important person. No one else, not even Yuan Yongkang, can surpass your position in your mother's and my hearts. Do you understand?"

Ye Mo looked at him with some surprise. After a few seconds, she slowly nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

Seeing her reaction, Ye Zhipeng and Ruan Xianyue knew that she didn't believe him. Although they had only spent a few months together, they had a certain understanding of Ye Mo.

Despite Ye Mo's ever-smiling demeanor, she is actually very guarded. Ye Zhipeng suspects that her blood relatives probably don't hold a higher place in her heart than her manager, and even her assistant might be more important to her than these relatives.

Naturally, Ye Zhipeng and the others were somewhat frustrated by this, but it didn't matter. They had a long future ahead of them, and one day they would definitely make Ye Mo accept them.

The Yuan Family patriarch and Yuan Yongkang came to the Ye Family, but returned empty-handed and did not gain the Ye Family's forgiveness. Shortly after that day, news came from the Yuan Family that Yuan Yongkang had been removed from the Yuan Family family genealogy.

Upon hearing this news, Ye Mo almost spat out her water. She exclaimed in astonishment, "That old man actually did that?"

To be honest, Ye Mo was a bit confused. She said those things that day mainly to annoy Yuan Yongkang. She didn't think the Yuan Family would be willing to kick Yuan Yongkang out of the house. But what was going on now?

Wasn't Yuan Yongkang supposed to be the most skilled doctor in his generation of the Yuan Family? How could that old man so easily remove him from the family register?

[After that day, your father spread the word that no hospital in the country was allowed to admit Yuan Yongkang...] 888 told Ye Mo.

Of course, that being said, the Ye Family's influence isn't that great yet; they can only affect a few, and only the large hospitals. So, if Yuan Yongkang wanted, many small hospitals and clinics would be willing to accept him.

However, given Yuan Yongkang's arrogance, even if small hospitals and clinics were willing to accept him, he certainly wouldn't go. Therefore, Yuan Yongkang's medical career was essentially over.

The reason why the old man of the Yuan Family removed Yuan Yongkang from the family genealogy might indeed be partly due to what Ye Mo said that day, but the main reason was probably that he also thought of this point— Yuan Yongkang, whose medical career was basically over, was of no use to the Yuan Family.

Now, by choosing to sever ties with Yuan Yongkang Yuan Family, the Ye Family can avoid the Ye Yuan Family's resentment and ensure that the younger generation can continue working at the large hospital.

For Yuan Yongkang, being kicked out of the Yuan Family family by the old man was indeed a huge blow. However, this was not the most painful thing for him at the moment. The most painful thing for him at the moment was something else.

[After hearing the secret you told me that day, Yuan Yongkang went back and contacted Zheng Lingyin to ask her about the child...] 888 said.

Zheng Lingyin never dreamed that this matter would be brought up again 23 years later, and that Yuan Yongkang, the person involved, would find out about it. So when she heard the question, she didn't have time to react immediately.

Yuan Yongkang also got the answer from her silence of more than ten seconds.

"Why?" Yuan Yongkang's eyes were bloodshot at that moment. He gritted his teeth, each word of his question almost squeezed out from between his teeth. He demanded, "Why didn't you keep that child? That was our child!"

In response, Zheng Lingyin remained silent for a moment before saying, "I got pregnant out of wedlock, what will others think of me?"

Yuan Yongkang hurriedly replied, "... I can marry you! We can get married! If you're willing, we can get married right now, so it wouldn't be premarital pregnancy!"

Zheng Lingyin: "..."

Although 888 didn't specifically describe Zheng Lingyin's reaction at the time, Ye Mo could easily imagine Zheng Lingyin speechless state. After all, if Zheng Lingyin really wanted to marry Yuan Yongkang, why would she have chosen to abort the child and not tell Yuan Yongkang about it?

Ultimately, marrying Yuan Yongkang was never one of her choices.

888 continued, "[... Zheng Lingyin didn't answer at the time, but Yuan Yongkang understood what she meant. He was so angry and resentful that he almost vomited blood!]"

Its appearance was so pitiful that even the system seemed pathetic. Therefore, the human saying, "There is always something hateful about a pitiful person," is quite true in some ways.

[I think after this incident, Yuan Yongkang really hates Zheng Lingyin!] 888 sighed.
