Chapter 361, Episode 0390: The Aftermath of the Gossip
Ye Yiwen sat opposite Lin Yuexi, crying and sobbing, holding a tissue in her hand to wipe away her tears or sniffle from time to time.

That filthy guy, he's nothing like the arrogant and domineering person he was when we first met. He just looks like a pitiful little bully.

Lin Yuexi: "..."

How did things turn out this way?
Lin Yuexi was about to leave, and she had already reached the door when Ye Yiwen suddenly came to her senses.

She glanced at Lin Yuexi, puzzled?

I glanced at it again, and I was shocked!

Then the believer saw the true God himself, so excited that he couldn't speak and his whole body was trembling. He still managed to grab Lin Yuexi's sleeve tightly.

Today was Lin Yuexi's first day of school, and she paid a little attention to her appearance, wearing a pantsuit. She didn't like feeling restricted, so the suit was a loose style, which made it convenient for Ye Yiwen to hold onto the sleeves.

Just by looking at Ye Yiwen, you could tell she was her little fan. Lin Yuexi wasn't the kind of person who was cold and emotionless, so when Lin Yiwen asked for her autograph in a trembling voice, Lin Yuexi agreed.

Who knew that after she sat down again, as she was signing the notebook Ye Yiwen had taken out, the girl suddenly burst into tears.

While crying, she acted like a wronged child who had finally found an adult to support her, as if she were airing her dirty laundry in public, not treating Lin Yuexi as an outsider at all.

From Ye Yiwen's incoherent and tearful account, we can roughly summarize the following story:
Ye Yiwen's eldest brother, Ye Zhennan, and sister-in-law, Rong Siqin, were childhood sweethearts, but their relationship didn't begin with love; it was arranged by their grandfather.

Have you seen Shanghai T? Ye Yiwen's grandfather, Ye Sheng, had a similar experience to that of Ding when he was young. The two old brothers from the same village went to Shanghai to make a living. At first, they worked as laborers at the docks. At that time, Shanghai was full of gangs and factions, and each faction occupied different places. The dock where Ye Yiwen's grandfather and his friends worked belonged to a faction called the Green Dragon Gang.

Back then, various factions would often fight each other for profit. Once, the Green Dragon Gang had a shipment of valuable goods arrive at the dock. The leader of the Green Dragon Gang was very interested in that shipment and went to pick it up personally. However, the news leaked out, and one, two, three... five factions came to rob it.

Ye Sheng and Lin Qing saved the leader of the Green Dragon Gang. The leader saw that they were skilled and daring, in other words, they were good at fighting and didn't care about their lives, so he recruited them into the Green Dragon Gang.

Initially, both of them were responsible for protecting the leader of the Green Dragon Gang. Later, Ye Sheng's intelligence was valued by the leader, and he gradually broke away from his simple bodyguard identity, climbing up step by step from the bottom, eventually becoming the second-in-command.

After the fall of Haishi, the Green Dragon Gang and the Little Notebook team went head-to-head. Unfortunately, they were almost completely wiped out in less than one night.

Ye Sheng was delivering medicine to our party at the time and was not in Haishi. By the time he returned, the Green Dragon Gang no longer existed.

When the Green Dragon Gang confronted Xiaobenzi, they knew that going there would be a certain death for them. So they hid all the gang's children in a secret place, leaving only Lin Qing to guard them, so that he could wait for Ye Sheng to return and entrust the children to Ye Sheng.

Lin Qing got married earlier than Ye Sheng. He already had a son who was about ten years old at that time. However, his wife had a difficult childbirth and could not be saved. That child was his only hope.

Lin Qing has a stubborn personality and is very loyal to the gang leader. Ye Sheng thought that he would endure it for the sake of the children and continue to endure it for the sake of his son. Unexpectedly, after handing the children over to Ye Sheng, Lin Qing went to assassinate Xiao Benzi that very night.

The next morning, Ye Sheng saw Ye Qing's body, with its limbs missing, hanging in the middle of the street.

The gang's children all depend on him, so Ye Sheng can't act impulsively; he can't even go to collect Ye Qing's body.

Ye Sheng felt guilty towards Lin Qing's son, and always treated him like his own son, even better than his own son.

He didn't raise his son astray; Lin Qing's son, Lin Wu, grew up to be exceptionally talented, joined the Communist Party, and distinguished himself in battle, becoming a lieutenant colonel before the age of thirty. Lin Wu tragically sacrificed his life while saving his comrades during the Burma campaign.

His wife was about to give birth when she learned of his sacrifice. She was so shocked that she went into premature labor and gave birth to a daughter with great difficulty. That same night, she jumped out of the hospital window.

This orphan of a martyr, who lost both her parents, is Rong Siqin.

Ye Sheng treated Lin Qing like his own son. Lin Qing's sacrifice was a great blow to him, and naturally he wanted to take care of Lin Qing's orphaned children.

Ye Sheng married late. When Rong Siqin was born, his eldest son Ye Zhenwen was only seven years old, his second son Ye Zhenwu was four years old, and his youngest daughter Ye Yiwen had not yet been born.

If we're really talking about seniority, Ye Zhenwen and his two brothers are Rong Siqin's elders.

Ye Zhenwen always treated Rong Siqin as a junior. When she was young, he treated her as a younger sister, and when she grew up and became more sensible, he treated her as a niece. There was never any inappropriate romantic feeling between them.

Who would have thought that as Rong Siqin grew up, she would develop such feelings for Ye Zhenwen, and even begged Ye Sheng to let her marry Ye Zhenwen.

Ye Sheng wasn't too much of a jerk. Even if he favored Rong Siqin, he wouldn't neglect Ye Zhenwen. Ye Zhenwen was his eldest son, the one who would carry the family name, and he was exceptionally capable. Ye Sheng was absolutely at ease entrusting the Ye family to him.

So when Ye Zhenwen expressed his unwillingness, Ye Sheng did not force him, but instead persuaded Rong Siqin to give up on Ye Zhenwen.

Then, well, that's the kind of cliché plot.

At an old man's birthday banquet, Ye Zhenwen and Rong Siqin were caught in the act.

Ye Yiwen didn't know the specifics of the situation at the time. She was still young then, and the old man wouldn't let her see it. Later, information was tightly controlled, and she couldn't find out anything.

All she knew was that her older brother married Rong Siqin not long after. However, their wedding was rather modest; they didn't have a wedding ceremony or invite any relatives for a meal. All they did was get a marriage certificate.

In Ye Yiwen's eyes, her eldest brother and sister-in-law's relationship had never been good. Her eldest brother rarely came home, and when he did, he slept in the guest room by himself. Her eldest brother didn't seem to care much about the son he had because of that accident. On the contrary, her second brother doted on his nephew.

Lin Yuexi looked at Xu Shan. Knowing they often shared gossip, Xu Shan immediately understood her meaning, raised an eyebrow, and nodded slightly.

What a coincidence, sir, you have the same suspicion.

Ye Yiwen wiped her snot and looked at Lin Yuexi pitifully. "That Rong is such a good actress. When she's only with me, she always puts on an innocent face and says really nasty things to me, saying that I'm a parasite, that I live off my older brother, and that I should have died long ago."

“I have a bad temper. If she criticizes me, I will yell at her. Then people always think that I am bullying her. From childhood to adulthood, I have been scolded by my grandfather and second brother a lot because of her.”

"Luckily, my older brother believes in me, but he's very busy, and I don't want to bother him with such a small matter. But, but I really feel wronged."

"Waaah~" She cried again!!!

This time it was even worse; the sound was deafening.
