You Finally Did Something Human

You bastard, are you trying to drag me and Youyou into hell?!

Just after Ye Chen joyfully picked up Ye Youyou, before he could speak—Chen Yinuo suddenly screamed in fear.Yes, she mistook the scene of Ye Chen turning his rented apartment into a small workshop as a drug-making lab.This also explained why Ye Chen had received thirty thousand from Zhang Jingshan.That thirty thousand was likely drug money.The so-called "bargain hunting at the antique market" was all a lie. All lies!This scum, he couldn't even change his habit of lying, just like a dog couldn't stop eating shit! It would never change!Well, Zhang Jingshan just didn't know, otherwise, he would be not only confused but also furious!Was Zhang Jingshan really going to run a drug business with Ye Chen instead of enjoying a good life?"Mom, don't scold Dad, Youyou is scared!"The smile disappeared, and Ye Youyou started crying."What do you mean?" Ye Chen asked, confused."As long as you sign the divorce papers and leave the house I rented, you can do whatever you want. I won't care, I won't care! But you're making drugs in the house I rented, you're trying to kill me and Youyou, aren't you? I was really stupid to believe your story about making a fortune at the antique market. It turns out that money was for drugs, wasn't it? I thought you'd risk your life for money, but I never expected you to go so far as to be this heartless!"As Chen Yinuo spoke, her body trembled in extreme panic, her voice distorted, and she fell into a state of deep fear.Ye Chen was completely stunned by this accusation.Drug money? Heartless?She thought he was making drugs?Seeing Ye Chen's changed expression, Chen Yinuo was even more certain of her theory."Now, are you going to silence me? Go ahead, kill me and Youyou, we've lived through enough torment under your abuse these years! If you don't kill me, I'll report you!" Chen Yinuo screamed bitterly."Yinuo, have you watched too many movies? This is about drugs and silencing people? I, Ye Chen, admit that I've done many terrible things in the past, I've been a scumbag, but I'm not so crazy that I would make drugs, and definitely not kill anyone!" Ye Chen forced a smile.Before Chen Yinuo could speak again, he continued, "That thirty thousand wasn't drug money between me and Zhang Jingshan, I really sold some items I found at the antique market to him! Also, take a look at these materials—do you really think these can make drugs?"Chen Yinuo froze.Although she still didn't believe a word Ye Chen said, she still turned her eyes toward the materials on the table.Upon closer inspection, although there were many materials she didn't recognize, she did notice some familiar things.Fresh aloe vera, opened pearl powder, peach tree leaves, vitamin E capsules, and some tung flowers, ginkgo fruit, green beans, and goji berries...In an instant, a complex expression of embarrassment appeared on her face.Indeed, these materials could never be used to make drugs."Look at what you've done to this apartment. What exactly do you want to do?"Even though she knew she had misunderstood Ye Chen, her tone was still unfriendly."I'm trying to make an ointment to help you remove the scars on your body!" Ye Chen said."Use these things to make a scar-removal ointment?" Chen Yinuo sneered."Yes!" Ye Chen nodded, knowing she wouldn't believe him but still answered."Dream on!" Chen Yinuo snorted."Even if you really made an ointment that could remove scars, do you think it could remove the scars in my heart? Do you think it could heal the wounds from years of abuse?"Ye Chen remained silent.Mainly because he knew that no matter what he said, it would be in vain."Heh, none of this matters now! In twenty-five days, as long as you sign the divorce papers, that will be the greatest favor you could give me. I'll be forever grateful to you for your kindness!"With that, she turned and walked toward the bedroom.She quickly packed a few clothes and daily necessities for herself and Youyou, dragging them out."Youyou, come with Mommy!"For Chen Yinuo, every second spent facing Ye Chen was a torment."Mommy, don't go. Let's stay with Daddy, okay?" Ye Youyou pouted and cried."Do you want to listen?" Chen Yinuo frowned.Ye Youyou didn't dare to speak but tightly hugged Ye Chen's neck."Youyou, listen to Mommy. Go with her first. In a while, Daddy will come and take you and Mommy away. Then, we'll never be apart again!" Ye Chen forced a smile and gently put Ye Youyou down."Daddy, is that true?" Ye Youyou asked, her big, watery eyes shining with excitement."Of course it's true. Come on, let's make a pinky promise!""Okay, pinky promise. A hundred years without changing, whoever breaks it is a little dog!"On the side, Chen Yinuo silently allowed this father-daughter moment.But she didn't believe a word Ye Chen said.There would be no more continuation between her and Ye Chen, none at all!Perhaps this rented apartment would be the last time she came back."Daddy, you have to come and take us back home soon!"With reluctance, Ye Youyou turned back toward her mother, Chen Yinuo."Yes, Daddy promises Youyou, I'll do it!"After seeing Ye Youyou return to Chen Yinuo's side, Ye Chen stood up."From the moment we got married, you finally did something human!"After thinking for a moment, Chen Yinuo said these words before walking out."Yinuo, wait!"As if remembering something, Ye Chen hurriedly called out.Chen Yinuo ignored him, striding toward the door.Seeing this, Ye Chen anxiously grabbed the unopened brand-new laptop and blocked her path."Yinuo, I sold your work laptop before. This is what I owe you!" Ye Chen said."I don't need it!" Chen Yinuo said indifferently, trying to push him away."If you don't take it, I won't let Youyou go with you!" Ye Chen quickly said.Chen Yinuo's body stiffened.She didn't doubt that Ye Chen would do such a despicable thing.Without saying anything else, and not refusing, she grabbed the laptop packaging box.She then quickly walked out with Ye Youyou.But just as she reached the door, she suddenly paused."I'll pay you back the ten thousand you gave for Yihou's settlement as soon as possible!"With those words, she left without looking back.Ye Chen stood frozen, watching the figures of mother and daughter disappear, his heart filled with a mix of emotions.It wasn't until the sharp ring of a phone call broke his trance that he snapped back to reality.
