You Need to Perform Well

"The money for my surgery was all thanks to those wealthy bosses. Why did I give birth to such a despicable thing like you? I'd rather die. If I close my eyes, it'll all be over..." After He Shuxin finished speaking, she weakly closed her eyes.

"You get out of here. I don't want to see you again..."

"Mom..."

"Get out!"

Ye Chu looked at her mother lying on the hospital bed, pale, not even sparing her a glance. She felt so wronged that tears instantly streamed down her face.

She didn’t dare argue with her mother or say she was innocent.

She didn’t dare, because she was no longer innocent.

So she had nothing to explain. She only hoped that her mother, who had undergone a kidney transplant, would recover day by day.

"Get out!" He Shuxin closed her eyes and said again.

Ye Chu wiped away her tears and quietly walked out.

On the way back, Ye Chu felt depressed and absent-minded. Several times, she almost caused an accident, and the driver scolded her for seeking death. But no matter how bad the driver’s attitude was, it couldn’t compare to the pain from her mother’s words.

When she got home, Ye Chu realized that her phone was out of power. She charged it and turned it on, but it suddenly rang.

"Hello." Ye Chu looked at the caller ID and answered the phone coldly.

"Ye Chu! What happened at Joyful Restaurant today? Why did Mr. Li cancel all cooperation with the Ye family? What did you do to make Mr. Li angry?"

Just as Ye Chu picked up the phone, Ye Xingguo’s roar came through. Even through the phone, his yelling made her heart tremble. If it were face-to-face, she might have been scared to death.

"Ye, don’t you know what happened?" Ye Chu adjusted her mood and asked with a sneer.

"I wasn’t there at the time! How could I possibly know!" Ye Xingguo roared. "What did you do?!"

"Of course, I did what you instructed me to do, Mr. Ye."

Standing in front of the mirror, Ye Chu looked at her reflection. Her makeup was still enchanting, but after being slapped several times, her cheeks were red and swollen. It would probably take a few days to recover.

"How could Li do that if you did what I said?" Ye Xingguo interrupted Ye Chu’s thoughts.

"Mrs. Li has left." Ye Chu interrupted him. "When Mrs. Li found out that I was the one you sent to Mr. Li, she was furious and demanded that Mr. Li terminate all cooperation with the Ye family."

"What did you say?" Ye Xingguo was stunned.

"Did you lie to me?" he snapped.

"Whether I lied to you or not, you can go to Joyful Restaurant and find out. It caused a big commotion, and Mr. Li was even dragged out of the restaurant by Mrs. Li by the ear," Ye Chu said.

"You useless thing!" Ye Xingguo cursed fiercely.

"I am indeed useless. If you have any more great plans to win people over, please find someone else," Ye Chu said coldly.

"What, do you think you can get rid of me just because your mother’s surgery was successful?" Ye Xingguo’s voice turned vicious. "Don’t forget, the surgery is just the first step. Rejection reactions and improper use of medication in the future could still kill her!"

"Ye Xingguo, what else can you do besides threatening me?!" Ye Chu couldn’t take it anymore and yelled into the phone before hanging up.

On the other end, Ye Xingguo was so angry that he threw his phone and cursed.

"Why are you so mad at that little b*tch?" Yu Wanyue quickly tried to calm him down. "It’s not working with Mr. Li, but we can try Mr. Zhang or Mr. Zhao."

"It’s not as easy as you think. I worked so hard to make progress with Mr. Li, and now it’s all ruined because of Ye Chu!" Ye Xingguo gritted his teeth. "But you’re right, we’ll find someone else who’s interested in her!"

At that moment, the door to the study opened, and Ye Shiyun walked in wearing a pretty pink dress. "Mom, Dad, what are you talking about? Come and see my new dress. It’s almost Mrs. Gu’s birthday, and I want to impress her and become her daughter-in-law as soon as possible!"

As soon as she saw Ye Shiyun, Yu Wanyue smiled lovingly. "Shiyun is so beautiful, she looks good in anything."

"Shiyun is right. If you behave well that day and Mrs. Gu likes you, marrying into the Gu family won’t be a problem!" Ye Xingguo looked at Ye Shiyun and calculated that if she married into the Gu family, the Ye family would gain a powerful ally, and people would come to curry favor with him.

Ye Shiyun twirled around to show off her new dress when she suddenly felt nauseous and covered her mouth.

"What’s wrong with you, Shiyun?" Yu Wanyue hurried over and saw Shiyun retching. She immediately showed a happy expression and exclaimed, "Shiyun, could it be that you’re pregnant?"
