I was forced to start the second round because I was raised in poverty

Chapter 232 A deadly attack

Ye Li's mind went completely blank.

She felt that this was no longer her home, but just an ordinary building.

Ye Li suppressed her anger and refused to slam the door and leave the house.

at this point.

She was determined to carry this lie through to the end.

Ye Li explained to them that this boss was very powerful and knew many people in the legal profession.

Going to court is time-consuming and laborious, and since it involves a large transfer, not a special amount, it won't be judged as a voluntary return, so it won't benefit her at all.

Ye Li had explained the matter entirely from a utilitarian perspective, without any emotional involvement.

Ye Haijun and Liu Wenhua's attitudes were surprisingly consistent with hers, and they were also talking about the matter entirely from a utilitarian perspective.

They say Ye Li is foolish for not leaving herself a way out.

He wanted Ye Li to try harder, and even if it was impossible, he wanted to consider their past relationship and ask him not to be so persistent. He wanted Ye Li to back down as little as possible, and if necessary, he would just self-destruct with him.

Ye Li grew angrier the more she listened.

In order to avoid taking back the money she lent out, Liu Wenhua has become shameless.

Older father Ye Haijun remained silent, hardly saying a word.

But his attitude speaks for itself; Liu Wenhua's thoughts are his thoughts.

He simply couldn't bring himself to say it because of the 'authority' and 'significance' of the father figure.

Did Ye Haijun think that by remaining silent, he hadn't interfered? Did he think he had maintained the dignity of a father and a man?
Ye Li wanted to use internet slang to describe Ye Haijun and Liu Wenhua.

A biological father.

A biological mother.

Ye Li didn't want to stay any longer; she wanted to end this farcical family drama as soon as possible.

She started saying some insincere things to make Ye Haijun and Liu Wenhua mistakenly believe that she had listened to their advice.

“I know they don’t have any money right now. If you can’t get this debt back, just let it go for now. Get it back whenever you can.”

"I'll think of other ways to handle the compensation."

Upon hearing Ye Li's words, the elderly couple's expressions instantly relaxed and became peaceful, as if they had breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm leaving tomorrow or the day after."

"You can stay in this house if you want. If you don't want to stay and go back to your hometown, then I will sublet it. Anyway, there is still a year left on the lease. Just make sure to pay the water, electricity and property management fees."

Ye Li verbally admitted defeat, but it was actually just a stopgap measure.

She will no longer contact this family and does not want to have anything to do with them.

Ye Li had already gone into her room to pack her things.

Liu Wenhua and Ye Haijun exchanged a glance. After their exchange, Liu Wenhua followed Ye Li into the room: "Where are you going, honey?"

Ye Li originally wanted to suggest Shanghai, but she was afraid that the elderly couple would think that Shanghai was also a super big city and want to go there with her.

She racked her brains trying to think of a city name, and then the name 'Shiqu City' suddenly popped into her head.

Su Cheng and Qin Fen went there in her car last time.

It is more than a thousand kilometers away from Jingzhou and their hometown.

"Shiqu City".

"Huh? Where is Shiqu City? Is it in the Gansu-Long region?"

"Ah."

"so far!"

Ye Li guessed correctly; Ye Haijun and Liu Wenhua did indeed think that way.

If it were Shanghai or other major cities, they would also go there.

But Shiqu City... that's too far away.

What kind of remote and impoverished mountainous area?

……

……

Jingzhou.

A detached villa.

Su Tianyan was wearing an ice silk bathrobe, and the wine glass in her hand contained a privately ordered bottle of red wine that had just been shipped from a good friend's vineyard in France.

Su Tianyan tasted the food while listening to Bai Zihua's weekly report.

Bai Zihua's report first covered information and circumstances related to Shengyue Consulting, the Du Juan case, Ye Li, and Su Cheng, and also included the field team's observations of Zhang Yangwen.

As Su Tianyan listened, he put down his wine glass and instead picked up the cigar on the crystal ashtray and took a puff.

"This girl is pretty good!"

"Great, I like it very much!"

"I'd even like to adopt her as my goddaughter."

Su Tianyan has his own set of standards for judging people.

Ye Li perfectly matches Su Tianyan's ideal of a daughter.

The goddaughter Su Tianyan mentioned is a genuine goddaughter, without any impure information mixed in.

In the town next to their hometown in Yuzhou, it's common to have godfathers and godmothers.

"Just watch."

"This girl has a bright future ahead of her; she'll definitely become rich and powerful on her own!"

After experiencing negative events, people tend to exhibit a kind of influence bias, which affects their judgment and concentration.

Ye Li broke through this boundary.

Judging from their recent treatment of Zhang Yangwen, he is still very inexperienced and cannot even withstand economic pressure.

Ye Li was carrying the pressure from her family.

To be able to perfectly resolve the Du Juan case under such pressure is already an outstanding achievement.

Especially for a girl, this is already very good, which fully demonstrates her resilience and intelligence.

Ye Li's solution to the Du Juan case was consistent with Su Tianyan's.

The only drawback is that it took a little too long.

Su Tianyan only glanced at the case file before he figured out the solution.

Ye Li came up with the idea after conducting on-site research for one or two months and actually working on the factory assembly line.

but it does not matter.

It's already quite impressive that you were able to come up with it.

Bai Zihua: ???

"President Su, what if it took the young master one or two months to come up with a solution?"

Su Tianyan said without hesitation: "Then he's just a piece of trash."

Bai Zihua: ...

Su Tianyan didn't have that much patience; he had much stricter standards for Su Cheng.

This is such a simple matter. I'll give Su Cheng at most a week. Anything longer than a week is useless.

Zhang Yangwen is still bearing the pressure of the economy.

Ye Li is carrying pressure from her family of origin.

As for Su Tianyan's successor plan, Su Cheng has to shoulder the pressure of economics and his family of origin, as well as be given all sorts of difficult problems to train him.

Even if Su Cheng doesn't participate and only plays a supervisory role, he still went down to the factory assembly line!

How come you haven't noticed anything wrong after all this time?
Is it because they didn't put in any effort and just lazed around, or what?
Bai Zihua continued to report to Su Tianyan: "President Su, the field team reported that the young master bought a lot of jigsaw puzzles at the mall and then delivered them to the hotel where Ye Li is temporarily staying."

"Ye Li only came up with the plan the next day."

Ok?
Wait a moment.

"Does that mean that brat gave her some pointers?"

"Yes, the young master has actually figured it out, and he's not inactive, but we're not sure when he realized it."

"Ouch?"

Su Tianyan was surprised for a moment, followed by a surge of relief.

Is this kid trying to use this method to reconcile with Ye Li?

"What's the situation between that brat and that girl now? Have they made up?"

"President Su, it seems that the young master and Ye Li have reconciled."

"Oh, oh." Bai Zihua's intention in reporting this information was to try and exonerate Su Cheng, but it would inevitably lower Ye Li's opinion of him.

But even so.

Su Tianyan still made no attempt to hide his affection for Ye Li.

"Being able to tell is a skill in itself, and I really appreciate it."

Bai Zihua couldn't help but feel uneasy.

If Su Cheng were in the same situation, Su Tianyan would definitely curse him as a good-for-nothing, saying that Su Cheng needed guidance to see the truth, and then punish him severely.

If it were Ye Li, it would be completely different.

Bai Zihua noticed that Su Tianyan seemed to have made a mistake that many parents make.

That means being nice to outsiders but not to your own children.

They give their best face to outsiders, even those with whom they have only a superficial relationship, always wearing a smile.

But when it comes to their own children, they are ruthless, with harsh standards and a strict attitude.

Su Tianyan possesses 'six eyes', which allowed him to easily discern Bai Zihua's inner thoughts.

"Zihua."

"what?"

"You're probably thinking that I'm nice to other kids but not to my own, is that right?"

Su Tianyan didn't give Bai Zihua a chance to deny it; he was eager to defend himself.

Am I that stupid?

"Ye Li is inherently more outstanding than that brat."

Ye Li wasn't going to take over his job, and since she wasn't his biological daughter but an outsider with no blood relation, the conditions and standards were more lenient.

"Moreover, that young lady also faced significant financial pressure when she first arrived in Jingzhou, but she has overcome that hurdle now."

Even by Su Cheng's standards, Ye Li was far above average in Su Tianyan's eyes.

"Let's not talk about that." Su Tianyan changed the subject, continuing to have Bai Zihua report, "What's going on at that girl's family?"

Bai Zihua reported to Su Tianyan point by point:

"On December 17, the young master contacted the property manager of Shengyue Building."

On the same day, the young master asked Qin Fen and Young Master Zhang to inquire about Liu Wenhua.

"On December 19th, the young master contacted the head of the human resources department of Datang Telecom."

"On December 21, the young master took leave and began visiting the surrounding property management companies."

"On December 23, the young master took leave to continue visiting the surrounding property management companies."

"On December 24, the young master took leave and began visiting property management companies near Ye Li's residence. He also treated the HR managers of two different property management companies to lunch at 'Yixianju' and 'Honglu' respectively. There were also transactions in the young master's bank account."

Bai Zihua has also been closely observing Ye Li recently, and he has a record of Ye Li's recent schedule.

I spent the three days I was with my parents after returning from my business trip to Yuzhou, and then I contacted the young master and others for a hot pot meal.

After dinner, they went to the park for a late-night chat, and the next day he suddenly took sick leave and left the company.

In recent days, Ye Li has been staying at a three-star hotel under the Emperor Group, and her daily work is handled online.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense can figure out what's going on here.

Ye Li argued with her parents, ran away from home, and even suddenly arranged a meal, which is most likely a farewell dinner.

Su Tianyan, on the other hand, had a clearer and more thorough understanding. Just by listening to Bai Zihua's description, he could roughly figure out the psychology of each person.

"President Su, we also have a recording here, you can listen to it."

"What recording? Ye Li's?"

"Yes."

"I didn't ask you to eavesdrop on Ye Li, did I?"

"Uh, Mr. Su, you were busy that day, so I didn't report it to you."

Bai Zihua believes that Su Cheng has been in close contact with Ye Li recently, and that everything she does is to worry about and work hard for Ye Li, so he feels it is necessary to eavesdrop.

"Yeah, that's true." Su Tianyan tacitly agreed, but he was more worried about being exposed. "When did you start pretending? Did you go into her house? You weren't discovered, were you?"

Bai Zihua explained, "That day, Ye Li's mother hired a locksmith, and I had our men go in. The listening device was hidden in the hinge of the front door."

"President Su, please rest assured, our people are very discreet and will absolutely not be exposed."

Su Tianyan's words reminded Bai Zihua.

He was thinking to himself, maybe he could deliberately leave some clues so that Xiao Cheng would find out?
But not now.

"President Su, would you like to listen to this?"

"Just put the key parts."

"Uh, Mr. Su, I haven't heard it yet either. The field team just sent it over."

"Alright then, let's listen together."

"Yeah, yeah, it's pointless, let's just hurry up and move on."

Su Tianyan asked Bai Zihua to play the recording.

What they heard left them with mixed feelings and a bitter taste in their mouths.

Just by listening to their conversation, you can tell what kind of people the elderly couple are.

"See? I told you this little girl is amazing."

"Girls who grow up in such families are very strong-willed and truly remain untainted by the mud, without any belief in evil."

This was also the first time Bai Zihua had heard the specific recording.

He retracted his earlier comments about Ye Li.

Ye Li's mental and psychological pressure was no less than Xiao Cheng's.

The only difference is that Ye Li's family background is real, and these experiences were destined for her.

Xiaocheng's experiences were all carefully created with human intervention.

By combining Su Cheng and Ye Li's schedule records, their plans were laid bare, and Su Tianyan saw through their schemes.

"Do you have any photos of her parents? Let me see."

Bai Zihua rummaged through the folder for a while and found a photo of the elderly couple.

Liu Wenhua has the classic look of droopy, triangular, squinty eyes.

Ye Haijun's appearance is also very typical.

Sometimes Su Tianyan doesn't even need to activate her 'Six Eyes' ability; she can tell what kind of person she is just by looking at her stereotypical appearance.

Su Tianyan asked Bai Zihua, "What do you think of these two young people's scheme?"

He was referring to a carefully planned scheme to evict the elderly couple.

Bai Zihua was furious about the old couple's behavior, and he answered the question without hesitation: "I think the young master and Ye Li's methods are still quite mild."

Being a parent.

He actually advised his own daughter to continue being someone else's slut.

For this reason alone, hanging the two of them from a street lamp wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Bai Zihua had no idea how Ye Li had managed to get through it all.

He accepted, believed, and affirmed Su Tianyan's high praise for Ye Li.

Xiao Cheng and Ye Li's scheme was relatively mild; they didn't try to kill the elderly couple.

"President Su, I feel I need to say something."

"We must take this as a warning!"

"What if the young master finds out the truth and then tries to get back at you?"

Su Tianyan frowned suddenly.

"Under your tutelage, the young master has lost much of his emotions and empathy, and is now gradually becoming the kind of person who is ruthless, heartless, and decisive in killing."

"This time it was Ye Li's parents, so the young master may have gone easy on them."

“But if it were his own parents, I don’t think the young master would be so lenient.”

“It is because you yourself do not want the young master to be the kind of person who is righteous and loyal, which naturally excludes ‘filial piety’.”

Bai Zihua added fuel to the fire with his persuasion.

His meaning was very clear.

See it.

This is the consequence of torturing children.

You need to be careful!
