Chapter 61 - A Terrifying News
"I will call my assistant to arrange for a residence."
"W-What?"
That Mansion Chen Yi's mother left behind was in one of the wealthiest estates in the whole city. Her circle of friends had always been envious of Ye Zhouyan. Whenever Ye Zhouyan invited her friends to parties in their home, she would be showered with flatteries and praises from others. People would be vying for an invitation from Ye Zhouyan.
All of them wanted to be invited to their splendid Manor. And she, Ye Zhouyan, as the Mistress of the house would bask in comfort among all the vying and envies others held towards her status and position.
On the other hand, the place Chen Yazhi would arrange was definitely going to be twenty levels inferior to that Manion!
For Ye Zhouyan it felt like a favored concubine accustomed to finest silk and luxurious palace to be suddenly forced to compromise with rags for attire and beggars dwelling for residence.
How could Ye Zhouyan easily let go of such grandeur and luxury?
"Husband, can't you do anything about this? How about we ask Ah Ying to help us out? She wouldn't be able to stand still when her parents got bullied by that b*tch! Fu Jianguo has fine connections. Since he has such a good relationship without Ah Ying he would surely help us out!" Ye Zhouyan tried to convince her husband.
"Hmm..." Chen Yazhi appeared to be considering her words. "We can't involve Fu Jianguo as of yet. Chen Yi and Fu Jianguo's relationship is still young. If we demand too much at this initial stage of their relationship, it might leave a bad effect on their future. Not to mention we would lose face if Fu Jianguo declines to interfere. But..." He said. "...there might be another way to deal with this. We may be unable to get the Mansion back but we are able to force Chen Yi using public coercion." Chen Yazhi sneered.
Even though he didn't care about that Mansion as much as Ye Zhouyan, he was seriously unsatisfied with the lack of humbleness his niece displayed.
'At that time, I had been truly sympathetic towards that Chen Yi. I could have handed her over to the authorities with sufficient evidence but instead, I only disowned her. I even went this far to actually persuade Fu Jianguo to not report the incident to the authorities... But what did she do? She turned around and bit us! That brat is truly ungrateful! Undeserving of the kindness I showed her!'
"Husband, do you really have a way?" asked Ye Zhouyan eagerly. She could not wait any longer to have that arrogant Chen Yi punished. The memory of Chen Yi's arrogant and proud face made Ye Zhouyan sick in the stomach. Right now, she wished for nothing more than to see that trash being thrown out of their mansion that she shamelessly seized from Ye Zhouyan's hands!
The thought of that trash staying in that grand manor disgusted her and filled her to brim with anger. Ye Zhouyan could wait no more to see her beings stomped all over, just like Chen Yi stomped over Ye Zhoyuan.
No, she won't be satisfied with just that!
She wanted that bitch to suffer a thousand times more!
"I am planning to contact some media agency. During my time in the office, I have formed some links. But for my plan to be successful, make sure that no one knows the truth. We can't let other's know that using what excuse Chen Yi threw you out and disgraced you. You understand?"
"Absolutely," said Ye Zhouyan, "I would be a fool if I told anyone that her mother left a will with her name in it. Husband, what exactly do you plan on doing?"
"I'll have the front page of an A grade magazine to publicize this event. After all, it's only been two months since she stopped living with us. Not everyone knows we had kicked her out. I will have them state that because of Fu Jianguo and our daughter Chen Ying's engagement, Chen Yi became upset and took her revenge on us by kicking us out. On one hand, this would publicize Chen Ying and Fu Jianguo's new relationship and strengthen their bond. On the other hand, it would pressurize her."
"But husband, would this pressure be enough to force her to hand over the manor back to us?" Ye Zhouyan worriedly asked.
Chen Yazhi laughed. "Woman, you do not understand peer pressure. After all, she would have to attend her university. Not only that but the career she is pursuing also requires her to take good care of her reputation and socialize a lot. Since she would have to face a lot of people, she would need to give them answers. She can't afford a stain on her reputation. Once we have sullen her name enough, she would have no choice but to turn back to us to beg for us to denounce our words. With that, we can manipulate her as we wish. Trust me it would work." He was confident.
Hearing his explanation, Ye Zhouyan was satisfied. "Husband, let me tell you, I won't settle if she just hands back the manor's ownership to us. That Chen Yi had really crossed the line this time and humiliated me! I won't tolerate you getting soft on her. Once she realizes that we got her in a corner and comes to us to beg us to take down our claims, I won't allow you to be yielding. Only once I humiliate her enough and give vent to the grievance in my heart, would I allow you to take back your statement."
"Of course!' Since that ungrateful brat was unappreciative of what he did for her the last time by stopping Fu Jianguo from reporting her name to the authorities, he would not be lenient on her this time. "You can do as you please. Make sure she suffers and regrets her actions."
"You better not forget your words." Ye Zhouyan smiled in satisfaction. Her eyes glinted with evil intent.
Later that evening, while Chen Yazhu decided to contact the media agency and reach an agreement, his assistant called him with terrifying news.
