Chapter Thirteen: Xu Ruowei, Get Out!
Wu Jinyong was furious, but more than that, she was at a loss, completely baffled. What was wrong with this Xu Ye today? How could he be so difficult with her?
“Xu Ye! How long are you going to keep this up? Can’t you speak properly to my mother?!”
Xu Ruowei was nearly boiling with anger, her face etched with fury.
“She’s just a servant in our household. Why should I bother speaking properly to her?”
Xu Ye glared at her without any courtesy. “And what about you? What right do you have to question me?!”
“You… you…”
Xu Ruowei was absolutely livid. She had thought that by tolerating him repeatedly, she had already been merciful enough. Yet not only did he show no gratitude, he only grew more outrageous and overbearing.
Was it just because she was a surrogate heir?
Was it just because her family had some dirty money and she was a rich second generation?
What was so great about that?
She was the top beauty from Jiangzhou No.1 High School to Jiangzhou University, practically deigning to let him bask in her aura every day—a gift from her. Did he not understand what gratitude meant?
Did he not know what it meant to be moved to tears by kindness and to repay a favor?
“Young master, are you and Ruowei having a fight?”
“It’s normal for two people to have a quarrel. No matter the misunderstandings, wouldn’t it be better to calmly talk things through?”
Wu Jinyong cursed inwardly but outwardly hurried to mediate. After all, she still had her eyes on the Xu family’s wealth. She was desperate to latch onto the Xu family and feed off them, so of course she couldn’t let the two truly fall out.
“Mom, today’s trouble isn’t my fault. Who knew what craziness he was on?”
“He kept targeting me again and again, and before going home, he even shoved me out of the car in front of all my classmates.”
“It made me lose face in front of everyone—my dignity shattered completely!”
Xu Ruowei grew more and more aggrieved as she spoke, finally bursting into tears.
What was her fault?
Was it a crime to secretly hug Pei An for a moment at noon, to hold his hand briefly?
There was nothing else—no kiss even!
And he definitely didn’t see it; otherwise, that petty Xu Ye would have called her out immediately.
Since he hadn’t, on what grounds was he targeting her?
He must be out of his mind!
“Young master, aren’t you going a bit too far?”
“You promised to take good care of Ruowei and never let…”
Wu Jinyong’s face instantly darkened. What did she think it was? Apparently, there was no reason at all!
If so, what right did he have to show such disdain in front of her?
Before she could finish, Xu Ye rudely cut her off with a raised hand. “Stop babbling. What obligation do I have to take care of your daughter? Just because she’s shameless?”
“Enough, Xu Ruowei! Pack your things now and get out of my house immediately!”
Wu Jinyong was kept around to be properly dealt with and tormented, but Xu Ruowei was different. To please her and make her comfortable, Xu Ye had spent a fortune.
Not only did she live in the master bedroom, but from decoration to furniture, even the bed and bathtub, the expenses reached nearly ten million yuan!
And now he wanted her to stay in this house?
What a ridiculous dream! What nonsense was this?
But Wu Jinyong felt as if her brain exploded—completely stunned.
That little bastard Xu Ye actually wanted to kick his daughter out of the Xu family?
That was absolutely impossible. If even his own daughter was driven away, it meant Xu Ye was serious this time, truly turning against her.
And if the only daughter who could manipulate the Xu family was gone, how could they still cling to the Xu family and siphon off its wealth?
She hurriedly nudged her daughter, silently urging her to soften her stance quickly, or else their carefully laid plan would be ruined.
“Young master, I don’t know what’s going on between you and Ruowei, but it’s normal for two people to have a quarrel. It doesn’t have to come to this.”
“Besides, haven’t you always liked Ruowei?”
“If you make her this angry and then kick her out, aren’t you afraid she’ll never give you a chance again, or even completely ignore you?”
Xu Ye chuckled.
It was almost as if mother and daughter shared the same mind, their views astonishingly aligned.
The threats were the same: “Won’t give you a chance,” “Never speak to you again.”
Yet did they still think he was the same pathetic sycophant as before?
Xu Ye looked down on her from above. “I am the eldest young master of the Xu family, heir to a fortune of hundreds of billions. Not to mention any girl, even your daughter, Wu Jinyong’s daughter—do you think she’s worthy of me to chase after?”
“I have been giving you face again and again, but did you really think you were a dish to be served?”
“Enough. Don’t make me say it a third time. Now, have your daughter pack her things and get out of here!”
“Xu Ye, what the hell are you playing at? You’re not seriously jealous of Pei An, are you?”
“I’ve already told you, he’s my cousin. Haven’t we always known that?”
“As for those rumors online claiming he and I were childhood sweethearts, it’s just nonsense spread by people who know nothing!”
“You have me by your side. Before I graduate, I don’t want to waste time on romance, you know that. You’ve always known!”
Xu Ruowei was flustered, starting to babble in a confused way. She truly felt Xu Ye was slipping out of her control.
Of course, it might also be his tactic—forcing her, trying to make her yield and bow to him through this pressure.
“Aunt Liu, help that woman pack her things. She has one hour to leave. Make sure she gets out as fast as possible!”
“Oh, and keep an eye on her. She’s not allowed to take any valuables from the house. They belong to the Xu family. She’s neither worthy nor qualified.”
Xu Ye was too lazy to argue further, turning his gaze to Aunt Liu in the corner.
“Xu Ye!!!”
“You’re really something. You’re great. But it’s you who’s kicking me out. Don’t come crawling back to me later!!!”
Xu Ruowei was completely enraged, storming back to her room in a fury.
She was certain now: Xu Ye was out of his mind today, utterly unreasonable.
He was arrogant because of his wealth, not only repeatedly picking fights with her but also humiliating her in front of all her classmates.
Now, the school and the campus forum were beginning to doubt her identity, suspecting she wasn’t some wealthy heiress at all.
What had she worked so hard for all this time?
All for that bastard, to be worthy of him!
And now? He was ungrateful and had destroyed her with his own hands!
All she did was like Pei An, held his hand, hugged him briefly!
She was supposed to be his future wife in name—wasn’t that enough?
Surely it was because she had been too good to him lately that this bastard had started to act high and mighty, growing more audacious!
Fine. She would leave for a while, let him cool down and reflect properly!
