"I look so silly!" Ye Chenhan deliberately complained, holding up his phone.
Ye Ziyu zoomed in on the picture, looking at Ye Chenhan, who had his mouth half-open in the photo. "Very cute."
"No, let's take another one. We need to capture my handsomeness." Ye Chenhan opened the camera, insisting on retaking the photo with Ye Ziyu.
"It's great, I really like this one." Ye Ziyu dodged his touch, refusing to retake it.
Thinking about the photo being seen by many people, Ye Chenhan chased after Ye Ziyu.
"My lifelong reputation can't be ruined by this photo, we must retake it!"
Ye Ziyu ran forward like a happy child, trying to evade him.
Reaching the ground floor, Ye Ziyu burrowed into Di Mingjue's embrace.
"My dear sister, just take one more photo with me!" Ye Chenhan pleaded.
Ye Ziyu shook her head, refusing again.
A photo?
Di Mingjue saw the photo on Ye Chenhan's phone screen. "Very beautiful, no need to retake it."
Fine!
They were truly united as a couple!
Ye Chenhan puffed out his cheeks in feigned anger, but inside, he was overjoyed.
...
The matter of Ye Yubin spread throughout the Ye family, and the elders were furious.
The next morning, a large group arrived at the Ye residence. As soon as the servant opened the door, the people outside shoved him aside and rushed in.
"This is outrageous!"
Upon entering the living room, they immediately spotted Ye Ziyu.
It was said that Ye Yubin had his finger severed because the Ye family's newly returned daughter had caused trouble.
"Is it you who drove Yubin away?" an old man, leaning on a cane, fiercely questioned Ye Ziyu.
Ye Ziyu, having just come downstairs, looked at the unfamiliar group before her.
Was this their way of seeking justice for Ye Yubin?
Ye Ziyu stepped forward. "He did leave the Ye residence because of me, but I didn't drive him away."
"Hmph, silver-tongued!" the elderly man retorted angrily.
Hearing the commotion downstairs, the Ye family members came down.
Ye Qianzhi, from his vantage point, saw the people in the living room and hurried down.
"Second Uncle, why are you here?" Ye Qianzhi bypassed Ye Ziyu and took his arm.
This man was the elder brother of Ye Qianzhi's father, and the only surviving male of the previous generation of the Ye family. He held considerable sway, and even Old Madam Ye treated him with courtesy.
The Second Uncle pushed his hand away, and leaning on his cane, he walked to the sofa and sat down, huffing. "Tell me, what exactly did Yubin do that you let an outsider break his finger and then send him abroad overnight to fend for himself?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qianzhi turned to look at Shen Meixiu, who was by the staircase.
It had only been half a day, and his uncle, who was far away, already knew. It could only be that someone had deliberately informed him.
Shen Meixiu looked away.
"Second Uncle, he went too far. Sending him abroad was also intended to let him calm down and change his temper," Ye Qianzhi explained.
These words did not convince him. The Second Uncle tapped the coffee table with his cane. "Even if he committed a greater offense, his finger should not have been severed. As his father, you not only failed to seek justice for him but also aided and abetted his expulsion."
Having already harbored dissatisfaction with Ye Ziyu, no matter how Ye Qianzhi explained, the Second Uncle chose to side with Ye Yubin.
Standing up straight with a sigh, Ye Qianzhi faced his obstinate Second Uncle, truly unsure how to change his mind.
"Second Brother?" Old Madam Ye arrived in the living room, supported by Ye Shaoting.
Upon seeing Old Madam Ye, the Second Uncle's expression softened.
"I've come to inquire about Yubin's matter," the Second Uncle said.
The hope of the Ye family rested on the four sons of the Ye family. Ye Chenhan was a playboy, so they had no expectations for him. Now, Ye Yubin, who was known for his intelligence and capability, had been driven abroad by his own family to start anew.
