Chapter 260: Morbid Paranoia, Face the Reality
Cheng Shiyan was speechless: "Big sister, you are just making a sophistry. We know very little about Xiaomian, so you assume that she has other intentions towards Xiaoye? What kind of logic is that?"
"That's enough. How can you keep quarreling like this every day?!"
The more Father Cheng listened, the more annoyed he became. He looked straight at Cheng Wei and said, "Xiao Wei, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but Xiao Mian is the daughter of a wealthy family. We can't afford to offend Xiao Mian. You know that, right?"
Cheng Wei's expression changed: "But she..."
"Don't say buts." Father Cheng said in a cold voice, "We have warned you before not to mess with Xiao Mian, let alone try to sow discord between Xiao Mian and Xiao Ye. It is already difficult enough for us to restore Xiao Ye's affection for us. You want to do both at the same time, isn't that wishful thinking?! Besides, the possibility that Xiao Mian might hurt Xiao Ye is just your personal speculation so far."
Cheng Wei frowned: "Dad, I have already shown you the video evidence of Jiang Mian bullying his classmates. Why do you still think I am just making groundless guesses?"
"Why? You're still asking me why?" Father Cheng was very disappointed. "Can you learn to be flexible? If Xiao Mian wanted to hurt Xiao Ye, she would have a hundred ways to do it. Since she didn't do that and even helped Xiao Ye's career, it's not the situation you said."
Cheng Wei was anxious: "Dad, have you ever thought that Jiang Mian helping Xiao Ye might be Jiang Mian's bad taste? First bring him light, then let him fall into darkness, and feel the pain of loss, this is Jiang Mian's bad taste."
"Sister, what you said is too outrageous!" Cheng Shiyan responded indignantly.
For Cheng's father, if the relationship between the Cheng family and Xiaoye eased, Xiaoye and Xiaomian would be together and be able to be involved with the Jiang family, which would mean only benefits and no harm.
So Cheng's father thought his eldest daughter's explanation was just nonsense.
"Let's end the topic here, Xiaowei. I won't argue with you about this extremely boring topic now." Father Cheng interrupted what Cheng Wei was about to say.
The atmosphere in the ward suddenly froze to freezing point.
Cheng Wei stopped talking. She felt that there was a serious generation gap between her, her father, and her third sister. She had clearly explained it clearly, but her father and third sister still did not understand what she meant.
Cheng's mother was immersed in longing and sorrow and couldn't extricate herself.
Cheng Zhirou, who had said little from beginning to end, would have a headache for a long time just by listening to the quarrel between her eldest sister and third sister.
Each member of the Cheng family has a heavy heart, and they are all trapped in a dilemma from which it is difficult to escape.
It has been quite a while since Xiaoye left the Cheng family, but their recovery progress is still only at 0%.
To put it more accurately, as Xiaoye's career flourished, their recovery progress was almost falling back to a negative percentage.
This made everyone present feel a panic that penetrated deep into their souls.
At the same time, Cheng Fenghao, who was imprisoned, was trembling in the dark corner. These days, he had nightmares every night. He dreamed that the bad things he had done were exposed, that he became a rat that everyone wanted to beat, and that he was abandoned by everyone in the Cheng family...
Cheng Fenghao couldn't help but shiver, and curled up in the corner to minimize his presence.
For the prisoners in the same prison with him, Cheng Fenghao's imprisonment was nothing new, and they made low noises of ridicule.
Cheng Fenghao heard the undisguised ridicule of the prisoners around him. He suddenly raised his scarred face and threatened: "Don't be so arrogant. When I get out of prison and make a comeback, that will be the time for you to regret kneeling down and begging for mercy!!"
"Hahahahahahahahaha, what big talk is this loser saying?"
"Making a comeback?! This is so funny!!"
"I guess it's because of the beating by Cheng Ye that your mind is starting to get confused! The Cheng family already knows that you want to kill the three Cheng sisters. They will never forgive you! Without the support of the Cheng family, who are you?!"
Cheng Fenghao's cheeks turned red with anger.
Damn it, the more complacent these prisoners are now, the more they will regret in the future!
Cheng Fenghao gritted his teeth and swore, just wait! When he is in a high position and has great power, the first targets for revenge will be these prisoners who love to laugh at him.
He clenched his hands in anger. Not only these prisoners, he would also make all those who insulted and bullied him pay the price! !
Cheng Fenghao is full of confidence. He is an invincible cockroach! He is fearless!
Cheng Ye will eventually be defeated by himself, and he will definitely gain a lot of fans who admire him in the future.
Thinking of this, Cheng Fenghao began to plan what to do after he was released from prison.
He took out his makeup box and upgraded his makeup several notches. Before, it was mainly smoky makeup, but now he wanted to thicken every detail of the smoky makeup. Not only that, he also drew a black mole on himself in the center of his forehead.
After finishing the painting, Cheng Fenghao thought happily that now he could at least surpass Cheng Ye in appearance and momentum.
After putting away his makeup box, Cheng Fenghao began to alter his clothes.
He dyed all his clothes black!
The prison uniform represents that he has an extraordinary and tortuous experience, while the black prison uniform represents that he has become evil! !
Two lines of hot tears rolled down from Cheng Fenghao's eyes.
Cheng Ye, I won't let you go!
-
in the office.
Cheng Ye was processing documents. After finishing them, he thought about it and decided to propose to Jiang Mian. But before that, many people on the Internet were discussing his arranged marriage with Chu Xiyan.
Cheng Ye had previously drawn up an engagement breakup agreement and asked Chu Xiyan to sign it, but she refused to sign it, using the excuse that she wanted him to ask her grandfather.
Originally, this engagement was just a verbal agreement between the elders of the Cheng family and the Chu family, and it had no legal effect. She also publicly announced her relationship with Jiang Mian on her social media account, but it is difficult to satisfy everyone, and there are always keyboard warriors who use the child marriage engagement between the Cheng and Chu families to stir up conflicts.
Thinking of this, Cheng Ye's eyes were thoughtful.
Jiang Mian was sitting next to Cheng Ye. She was biting a lollipop in her mouth. She turned her body slightly, propped her elbows on the desk, and supported her cheeks with her soft white hands. Her clear and bright starry eyes were curved like a moon. She said softly, "Cheng Ye, what are you thinking about?"
Cheng Ye pulled himself out of his thoughts. He wanted to propose to Jiang Mian, but he couldn't let Jiang Mian know about it yet, otherwise there would be no mystery.
Feeling.
Therefore, he only mentioned that he wanted to unilaterally cancel the engagement with Chu Xiyan.
After hearing this, Jiang Mian's fair cheeks showed cute and charming dimples. "It doesn't matter. You are already my boyfriend anyway. Your marriage with her has no legal effect. The Cheng family and the Chu family can't do anything to you. They can't restrict your choice and freedom."
Cheng Ye smiled and pinched Jiang Mian's soft little face with both hands: "I know that they can't restrict my behavior in the slightest, but there will always be people on the Internet who use the engagement to make things happen, and Chu Xiyan refuses to sign the divorce agreement. In this case, they are them, I am me, and I need to make my attitude clear."
Jiang Mian guessed what Cheng Ye was going to do next. She asked with a smile, "But won't this make Chu Xiyan particularly embarrassed? If you unilaterally propose to cancel the engagement in order to stop everyone from talking..."
"It's none of my business. Although the divorce agreement is just a formality, it can effectively shut up keyboard warriors. But she doesn't want to divorce, and doesn't want to sign the divorce agreement, so I can only do what I want."
Cheng Ye said calmly, "I don't need to consider her feelings. This matter has been dragging on for so long, it's time to put an end to it once and for all."
At this time, assistant Chi Mu knocked on the office door. After getting permission, he walked in and said carefully, "Boss, Chu Xiyan has been squatting outside the company recently, which has affected the normal work of the company's employees."
Cheng Ye had no emotions.
Jiang Mian smiled and said, "Cheng Ye, how about we let her in? If she is willing to sign, we can simply mention it in the live broadcast room and tell netizens that you and her had signed the divorce agreement a long time ago. This will minimize the impact on her and she will not be ridiculed by netizens."
When Chi Mu heard this, sweat broke out on his forehead. Thinking of the tense atmosphere that would follow, he straightened his body and waited for his boss's instructions.
Cheng Ye had no objection and said to Chi Mu, "Bring her here."
"Okay, boss." Chi Mu quickly left the room. Not long after, Chi Mu brought Chu Xiyan into the office.
Seeing Cheng Ye sitting at the desk, Chu Xiyan couldn't hide her excitement. It seemed that her hard work these days had paid off.
Just as Cheng Ye guessed, it was not that he didn't care about him. It was most likely that he was threatened by Jiang Mian.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiyan subconsciously glanced at Jiang Mian beside Cheng Ye. The other party was still well-behaved, innocent and harmless, without exuding any aggression. Instead, she looked weak and delicate, and her delicate body seemed to have no strength as she leaned in Cheng Ye's arms, her innocent eyes just staring at her.
Chu Xiyan tried her best to suppress the strange emotions in her heart. She turned to look at Cheng Ye and was about to speak when she heard Cheng Ye coldly ask, "Do you want to sign the divorce agreement or not?"
After saying that, Cheng Ye took out the pre-printed divorce agreement from the drawer and threw it on the desk.
Chi Mu was very observant. He quickly ran over and handed the divorce agreement that his boss had left on the table to Chu Xiyan in a timely manner.
Before Chu Xiyan recovered from her joy, she was shocked by the divorce agreement sent by Chi Mu. Her hands were shaking as she held the agreement. "Cheng Ye, do you have to be so heartless?"
As if she suddenly remembered something, Chu Xiyan looked at Jiang Mian unhappily: "Did you force Cheng Ye to do this?"
Jiang Mian blinked and did not face Chu Xiyan's question directly. Instead, he asked Cheng Ye with a smile: "She said that I forced you to let her sign. Did I force you?"
Cheng Ye frowned slightly. What kind of train of thought is Chu Xiyan having? !
"No." After Cheng Ye answered Jiang Mian's question, he frowned and said to Chu Xiyan: "If you don't sign, I can only make it clear to the public and unilaterally cancel the engagement with you."
Hearing this, Chu Xiyan couldn't help but burst into tears, "Cheng Ye, no, you can't treat me like this, it's really too cruel. Now it's because of the engagement that I can still have some thoughts about you, so I won't be completely desperate."
"But now you want me to sign the divorce agreement... Isn't that just destroying my remaining hope?" Chu Xiyan's voice became choked and hoarse halfway through her words. She sobbed, "Cheng Ye, is Jiang Mian threatening you again? I said, her mind is not simple, and she doesn't really love you at all. Don't be bewitched by her."
"You and I are the only people from the same world. She is playing with your feelings. When you think you have found love, she kicks you away..."
"Cheng Ye, do you know? Just last night, your eldest sister called me and told me very clearly that she seriously suspected that the mastermind behind the surveillance of her was actually Jiang Mian."
"Because she has carefully analyzed that her phone has never left her body and has never been touched by anyone other than herself. Who would have the ability to install hidden eavesdropping software in her phone without her noticing?!"
Chu Xiyan's words echoed in the huge office. She was a little nervous, but love filled her with infinite courage: "Cheng Ye, after careful consideration, I came to a reasonable conclusion. It is precisely because Jiang Mian knows hacking technology that I can explain why Jiang Mian used hacking technology to install shameful eavesdropping software in her mobile phone."
"Your elder sister has not yet found the source file of the eavesdropping software, which means she will face the risk of having her personal privacy stolen in the future."
Chu Xiyan said word by word: "Cheng Ye, she definitely didn't tell you about the eavesdropping, right?"
After saying so much, Chu Xiyan thought that Cheng Ye should be wary of Jiang Mian. After all, surveillance itself is a bad behavior.
Jiang Mian's smile of success was fleeting. She deliberately let Cheng Wei discover that she was being monitored.
If she didn't want to, how could Cheng Wei have the chance to find out?
Jiang Mian lowered her eyes slightly, raised her red lips, and lowered her long eyelashes, hiding her morbid paranoia.
She will make both Cheng and Chu's families realize the reality that Cheng Ye is so special to her that he can unconditionally side with her.
After hearing Chu Xiyan's complaints, Cheng Ye skipped over them and said, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Do you want to sign or not? I'll ask you one last time."
Chu Xiyan felt like the sky was falling. Her body was shaking violently and her lips began to turn pale. She looked at Cheng Ye in disbelief as he showed no emotion.
"Cheng Ye, I just said so much, don't you have any reaction to it?"
"How should I react?" Cheng Ye said sarcastically.
Chu Xiyan's eyes were filled with deep sorrow. "Shouldn't you start to blame Jiang Mian for his bad behavior after listening to him? Also, did you allow me to enter your office this time just to discuss the divorce agreement with me?"
