Facing the family that pressured her, Ye Jingyi kept a calm expression.

”Make a phone call? I won’t do it.

I’m telling you, my marriage is about not wanting to be treated as goods that can be sold, nor will I become a tool for family alliances.

I am a person, a living person!”

As she spoke, her tears slowly slipped down, but her words did not stop:

”My dreams are simple, just to marry someone I like, someone who cherishes me, and live a simple life.

But I’ve realized that in my life, in my home, in my family, such dreams are too much to hope for.

You don’t want to give me these, don’t want to give me love, you just want to use me to trade for your rich lives.

Since you can’t give me love, I will find it myself.

Jiang Chen might not be very capable, but I can tell he truly likes me, and that’s enough.”

By the time Ye Jingyi finished speaking, her tears were gushing like a fountain.

She had been completely heartbroken by her family, pushed into a corner with no way out.

After her declaration, she clutched the marriage certificate in her hand, ran upstairs crying, locked herself in her room, and didn’t want to deal with them any longer.

Ye Jianxiong and the other two became anxious, looking at each other uncertainly.

They had no idea Ye Jingyi had a boyfriend, and they knew nothing about this Jiang Chen who appeared out of nowhere—what he did, what his status was, whether he was a suitable match for Jingyi, whether he could help the family’s company develop better, whether he had a significant background; they were clueless.

”What should we do?” Ye Jianxiong was a coward with no ideas of his own, turning his head to look at his wife.

”How would I know?”

Zhou Ru yelled at Ye Jianxiong, thought for a moment, then gritted her teeth, ”No, we can’t let Jingyi get married without understanding clearly. Our whole family is relying on her, we must find out Jiang Chen’s background. If he has one, fine, otherwise, hmph!”

”I know Jingyi’s good friend Lin Wan’s phone number, I’ll ask her, she must know about Jingyi’s marriage!” Ye Yanni thought of Lin Wan and hurriedly took out her phone.

”Right, right, right, ask Xiao Wan, she must know. Ask her what this Jiang Chen is all about!” Zhou Ru nodded repeatedly, urging Ye Yanni to make the call.

Ye Jianxiong could only agree from the sidelines; in this home, he only dared to act tough with the kind-hearted Jing Yi.

”Hello, Yan Ni.”

The phone rang for a while before being answered, and from the voice that came through, it seemed Lin Wan had already been resting.

”Xiao Wan, do you know this person, Jiang Chen?” Ye Yanni switched her phone to speakerphone and tentatively started speaking.

”I know him? Yan Ni, why are you asking about him?” Lin Wan’s words were filled with undisguised disgust.

Ye Yanni and the others tensed up as Zhou Ru asked hastily, ”Xiao Wan, tell Auntie, who is this Jiang Chen, and why did Jingyi marry him?”

”What? Married?!”

Surprise echoed from the handset, and the faintest trace of sleepiness vanished.

”Yes, she’s married, she’s even got the certificate.”

Zhou Ru’s heart skipped a beat; Lin Wan didn’t know? What exactly had Jing Yi done?

”Oh my, why would Jing Yi marry that bastard?

He’s the Li family’s son-in-law, a top-grade scumbag, a complete swindler, and a freeloader to boot!

Has Jing Yi gone mad? How could she marry him? And they’ve even got a certificate? How is this possible?! That Jiang Chen he...”

Lin Wan reeled off a barrage of accusations against Jiang Chen, depicting him as a modern Chen Shimei, the worst of the worst, a total bastard!

”What? Jiang Chen is a fraudster? And a freeloader? The Li family’s son-in-law? No, if he is their son-in-law, how could he register for a marriage with Jing Yi? That’s illegal.” Zhou Ru was dumbfounded and asked anxiously, ”Lin Wan, which Li family is it?”

Lin Wan: ”Auntie, don’t panic, I have his information right here. I’ll send it to your phone.”

Soon, Lin Wan’s information came through.

Ye Jingxiong and the others all saw it clearly, their faces turned ghostly pale one after another.

At this moment, Ye Jianxiong chimed in with a suggestion: ”Wife, don’t you know Xu Yan from the Li family? Call her and ask if that Jiang Chen is really their son-in-law. If he is, we should report him to the police and have him arrested.”

”Yes, yes, yes, I’ll make the call.”

Zhou Ru nodded repeatedly and pulled out her mobile phone to dial.

Ye Jianxiong and Ye Yanni both watched Zhou Ru intently, the family of three all eagerly awaiting for Zhou Ru’s phone to connect.

”Hello, Zhou Ru?”

Xu Yan’s phone was quickly connected. Obviously, after experiencing such an upheaval these past days, Xu Yan couldn’t just go to bed early. Whether she could even sleep was debatable.

”Xu Yan, does the Li family have a son-in-law named Jiang Chen?” Zhou Ru tentatively started.

”Jiang Chen? What do you want with that bastard? Are you deliberately trying to insult me?”

Xu Yan immediately shouted herself hoarse: ”What is that Jiang Chen? He’s nothing but scum, trash, a useless wimp... Let me tell you, this morning my daughter divorced him, and she’s totally dumped him; my daughter is free now!

Zhou Ru, don’t ever mention him in front of me again, or we won’t even be friends anymore!”

After a barrage of insults, Xu Yan hung up the phone abruptly.

Listening to the dead tone coming from the phone, the three members of the Ye family were stunned.

Zhou Ru’s face was livid, her teeth nearly crushed: ”This... he just got divorced this morning, and he married Jing Yi in the afternoon? Is there a scummier scumbag than this?”

Ye Jianxiong shook his head repeatedly: ”No, we can’t let Jing Yi be with that bastard, we can’t let Jiang Chen enter our Ye family’s door.”

Ye Yanni also spoke up venomously: ”Right, this kind of freeloader, he must be after our family’s wealth. We absolutely can’t let him take a share of our property.”

”Right, let them get a divorce!”

...

Meanwhile, in a luxurious villa in Jinhai city, Lin Wan sat on the bed in her pajamas, her brows furrowed deeply into a ’chuan’ character, her face full of frustration:

”Jing Yi, oh Jing Yi, have you gone mad? To break free from the family’s arrangement, you can’t just marry that bastard Jiang Chen! He’s the scummiest of scumbags, you... No! I can’t watch you fall into this trap!”

Lin Wan picked up the mobile phone she threw aside, started searching her contacts, and prepared to call Ye Jingyi.

”Got it.” While opening her contacts, Lin Wan hadn’t yet found Ye Jingyi’s number, but another person’s name caught her eye, and she immediately made the call with a glint in her eyes.

”Hello, Lin Wan?... Why don’t you come over and have some fun, let’s party!” The sound of noisy music came through the receiver.

Lin Wan’s face darkened as she snapped, ”Shen Zhui, are you at the nightclub again? Do you still want to pursue Jing Yi or not?”

”Of course I do. Wait for me, I’m going outside to talk.”

Shen Zhui responded and shortly after, the noisy background faded away.

”Lin Wan, has Jing Yi started to have feelings for me?”

”Feelings my ass, Shen Zhui, let me tell you, if you still want to pursue Jing Yi, then come find me early tomorrow morning. We’ll go straight to the Ye family and propose to Jing Yi.”

”Isn’t that too hasty?”

Shen Zhui on the other end sounded a bit reluctant.

”Hasty my ass!” Lin Wan cursed directly: ”Jing Yi already registered her marriage with that Jiang Chen this afternoon. If you don’t hurry, it will really be too late.”
