Chapter 716 Ye Zi, You Should be Grateful
- However, Madam Li interrupted her and said, “Don’t call me ‘mother’—if it wasn’t for Yuntong, I wouldn’t have let you into the Li Family! The Li Family has been involved in the government for centuries, but our matriarch has never requested anyone to come from a rich family. Back then, you liked Zhanming so much that you drugged him—which was really shameless. You were despicable as you took advantage of others to climb the ranks and marry into the Li Family. After that, you couldn’t stand your house being silent so you did all those things as well. You’re really unfit to be a wife and a mother! It’s impossible for you to occupy all the good things in the world. You knew from the very beginning that Zhanming did not have any feelings for you, so you used every trick up your sleeves to marry him—you even thought that Zhanming actually loved you. The Li Family has been treating you too kindly; all these years, Zhanming helped the Ye Family become one of the four most distinguished families in Beijing. During your lowest point in life, he even fully supported you from behind. You should be grateful, Ye Zi. You said that Zhanming and I don’t like Yuntong—you’ve even gone as far to say that we look down on her. With the glory that she has right now, doesn’t she have the Li Family to thank for? You were the one who cheated on Zhanming; the only reason Zhanming and I haven’t given you the divorce papers and chased you out of the Li Family is because we’re considering the fact that Yuntong hasn’t grown up yet. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to; you’re still thinking about reconciling with Zhanming and bearing another child for him. Stop dreaming!”
- Madam Li’s remarks made Ye Zi’s knees go weak; all of her dreams had been shattered, and she knew that she would never get anything she wanted for the rest of her life anymore. She was discontented. She was extremely discontented!
- “Mom, seeing that Yuntong still has a place in your heart, why do you insist on acknowledging Xia Micheng as your granddaughter? What spell has she enchanted you with?” Ye Zi really could not understand what was so charming about Xia Micheng; not only were men enchanted by her, even Madam Li had submitted to her.
