Kiss With Mr. CEO

Chapter 63 - Warmth Of Familial Love

"Chen Yi, don't forget 'Benefit goes to the humble, while failure awaits the arrogant!' Weren't you satisfied enough after snatching our home from us? You had to be arrogant enough to go to this extent and humiliate me. Hadn't you taken enough from us? How far must your revenge go on us?" 

To give up on that Manor was already a difficult feat for Ye Zhouyan. 

She was already tortured enough. Since Chen Yi had succeeded in hurting her this badly, Chen Yi should stop now, shouldn't she? That was only fair in Ye Zhouyan's eyes.

"Dear Aunt..." Chen Yi's melodious laugh echoed to the other side of the line. "I have not even returned the one percent of what you people have made me go through. How could you be so presumptuous to assume that my revenge would end with this little thing?" Her tone was cruel, containing in it the vengeful feelings she harbored.

Even her eyes looked bloodthirsty.

The driver on the front seat happened to accidentally have taken a glance at those beautiful yet frightening eyes through the rearview mirror. He shuddered and almost lost control of the car.

Ms. Li... wasn't she such a gentle-looking, kind-hearted lady? That was the impression everyone had of hers in their mind owing to her endearing and soft looks!

H-How could she possess such a cold-blooded side to her?

He quickly calmed himself.

Of course, the woman his Boss would choose would not be just an ordinary one!

The recipient of her words was shocked speechless from her words. A shimmer of fear emerged in her heart. "Chen Yi, I tried. I tried my best to knock some sense in you! For what might come next, you should not blame me!" Ye Zhouyan menaced.

Unaffected from her threat, Chen Yi's carelessly placed her elbow on the armrest of her seat. "What is Aunt planning to do? I'm actually excited to see what you have up your sleeves."

"Chen Yi..." Ye Zhouyan seethed. "Back at that time when you tried to target Young Master Fu's sister because of your pettiness, it was because of your Uncle's intervention that Young Master Fu didn't report the incident to authorities. You-do you think after what you have done, we would still try to hold back Young Master Fu? After he listens to what you did, I am certain he would file a lawsuit against you. Do not pin your hopes on us that we would try to intervene and stop him."

Hearing her words, Chen Yi laughed: "Aunt, I am more than certain once Fu Jianguo brings up this matter, you would be the first one to interfere and stop him from reporting this to authorities."

"I would not!"

"Then..." Chen Yi said: "Are you willing to take the risk of getting authorities involved? What if...they find out the real culprit behind that incident?"

Hearing her words, Ye Zhouyan's heart thumped loudly in fear. She quickly said: "What are you trying to hint at Chen Yi? Yang Mi had seen you. We have a witness. Why are you trying to shift the blame of someone else?"

"Whether Yang Mi was lying or not, Aunt knows better than me. I would just say that if authorities get involved, are you certain that the real culprit could stay hidden?" Chen Yi's lips curled up.

Why had they not handed her over to the authorities? The answer was simple. As long as authorities got involved, there were chances of discovering out the truth. That could put Ye Zhouyan and Chen Ying in mortal danger.

Otherwise, why would those so-called relatives of her care for her?

In their eyes, Chen Yi was nothing more than a pest, a potential threat to the fortune they swindled from her parents. Chen Yi was well aware of this fact. 

If they did not fear being investigated, they would have long reported this incident to the authorities.

"You are trying to scare me off by using such threats. Chen Yi, let me tell you it won't work. Everything evidence points towards you."

"Then...Aunt, are you scared?" Saying those words, she cut off the call.

On the other side, Ye Zhouyan's face was red in anger. She threw away her phone. "Damn it! Damn it! That bi*ch!" She felt completely helpless.

Yes, she was scared...

Because what Chen Yi said was right. She could not risk involving the authorities. There was always the chance that Ye Zhouyan and Chen Ying would be exposed.

"That b*tch, how did she find out it was-it was us?" Suddenly her eyes widened in fear. "Could it be that she had some evidence? No, this is impossible! We were very careful at that time. She can't have any evidence. She must have been guessing it."

Ye Zhouyan felt her heart constricting in anxiety. "This won't do. I must do something about her. If she is left unrestrained just like this, she would come to bite us in the future."

After deciding this, Ye Zhouyan finally decided to contact Chen Ying. "Yazhu said I shouldn't ask for her help but water is already over the head. I need her help to deal with that vixen!"

...

When Chen Yi returned to the Li family residence, the appetizing aroma of various dishes assaulted her nose and forced her stomach to grumble in protest. Following the aroma, she soon found herself in the direction of the kitchen.

"Mom, let me taste a little at least! I will tell you if there is any shortcoming and you can correct it!" Li Yuan argued. 

Li Shanguaan hit his hand with a ladle and glared at him. "Don't try to be smart with me. I know exactly what you want. I have told you countless times before, this is not for you. This is for your sister-in-law."

"Mother!" Li Yuan complained, tear-eyed. "It has only been a day since she came to our home yet you already spoil her so much. This is unfair! When was the last time you personally cooked for me?!"

Hearing the cheerful banter, Chen Yi's heart filled with warmth.

As someone who had always carved for familial love, she suddenly felt her eyes watering in happiness.
