Chapter 1165 - 1154: When the Daughter Is the Second Female Lead and the Younger Sister Is the Female Lead
After returning home, Mei Chunli was the first to notice that her daughter was acting strangely, and she quickly went up to inquire.
"Are you in love?" She asked as someone who has been through it, and indeed her instinct proved to be very keen.
Ye Yun thought about the intense affection Zhang Beichen had just shown her and nodded bashfully, "Yes."
Mei Chunli’s heart was filled with joy, "Which family’s young man is it? Can you tell Mom?"
Then Ye Yun’s brow furrowed again, seemingly a bit difficult to speak.
Seeing her daughter like this, Mei Chunli’s joy dissipated, and her heart skipped a beat, "Is he not someone from our circle? Is there an issue with his identity?"
"No," Ye Yun glanced around before pulling her mom into her room and whispering, "It’s Zhang Beichen."
"What?"
"I mean, the person I’m involved with is Zhang Beichen."
Mei Chunli was startled, "Isn’t that?"
"Exactly, so Mom, please keep your voice down. I still don’t know how to tell Dad and Xiao Shu!" She sat disheartened on the bed, "Mom, I’m a bit scared. Previously, Big Sister tacitly accepted that Beichen and Xiao Shu were a pair. Now that Beichen is with me, will everyone blame me?"
"Who brought it up first? Who fell for whom first?"
Ye Yun blushed, "Beichen brought it up first, we both fell for each other at the same time."
Mei Chunli heard this and felt both happy and uneasy, comforting her daughter, "It’s okay, you truly love each other, your father won’t blame you."
"But what about Sister and Xiao Shu? Will they think I did it on purpose?"
Mei Chunli held her daughter’s hand and reassured, "Emotions are uncontrollable. What right do they have to blame you? Besides, your sister and Xiao Shu have never agreed to the engagement with the Zhang Family, have they?"
"But what if Xiao Shu regrets one day? After all, it’s hard to find someone as exceptional as Beichen now."
A glint flashed in Mei Chunli’s eyes, and she soothed, "Don’t worry, Mom will protect you, your dad won’t just stand by."
Ye Yun was still anxious, "I hope so!"
After talking with her daughter, Mei Chunli was more convinced of her inner thoughts; she would never let her daughter be wronged.
That day, Ye Qiu seemed to have a premonition, paying extra attention to the road conditions outside, quickly noticing a large truck behaving oddly, following her through three intersections.
She remained calm, continuing along her original route until the truck couldn’t hold back by the lake road, seemingly out of control, rushing toward her.
Ye Qiu had seriously practiced her driving skills. She dodged calmly, but the truck seemed to have eyes, always aiming to crash into her no matter where she swerved.
Ye Qiu directly called the police, narrating the situation quickly and calmly, then slammed on the gas pedal. But this time, Mei Chunli was determined, just ahead on this road, a car had broken down purposely leaving her no place to escape.
However, she didn’t know that Ye Qiu had been preparing for this day for years. She opened the sunroof, jumping into the lake at the roadside just as the truck collided with her and the broken-down vehicle, noticing the truck driver pounding the steering wheel in frustration.
It must be said, Mei Chunli’s method was simple but very effective. If she were just an ordinary rich girl, faced with this incident today, she would have been caught off guard and unable to escape.
So what if they found out the truth? She’s Ye Changfeng’s wife, and he now relies on and loves her dearly. The elder daughter is already dead, so would he send his wife to prison and let the younger daughter hate him?
What would happen to Ye Group then? With no one to lead, it would be devoured by competitors, and the whole Ye Family would be truly ruined.
Therefore, for the bigger picture, Ye Changfeng would choose to sacrifice his elder daughter; Mei Chunli and Ye Yun would be safe.
But what puzzled Ye Qiu was why Mei Chunli would do such a thing? What deep-seated hatred did she have against her? She never seemed to covet Ye Family’s assets in the past!
The news of Ye Qiu’s accident quickly reached the Ye Family, and Mei Chunli shattered the glass cup in her hand.
Ye Changfeng came to comfort her, "Don’t worry, the doctor said it’s nothing serious. She’s still recording her statement, she’ll be back soon."
"Why is she recording a statement? Wasn’t it an accident?" Mei Chunli felt panic in her heart, sweating from her palms.
"It’s probably just a routine inquiry! When Ye Qiu returns, we’ll know. Hopefully, it’s not something those competitors did."
"What kind of competitors would do such illegal things?"
Ye Changfeng looked at his wife’s widened eyes, assuming she was worried, patting her hand to comfort, "Some disregard the law. I encountered such people when I was younger. Don’t worry, I’ve been complacent these years, I’ll hire more bodyguards in the future."
"We stay home every day, what should I fear? I’m worried about the kids." Mei Chunli forced a smile, thinking back to determine if she revealed any flaw, and after recalling everything, she was sure no one would find out, so she slightly relaxed.
"You mean that truck looked like it wasn’t out of control, but deliberately targeted you?" A policeman asked.
"Yes." Ye Qiu nodded and shrugged, "You know, once you reach my position, many people become displeased with me, so I’m extra sensitive."
The cop recording her statement laughed, "We understand. Anything else?"
"My car has dash cams front and rear; you can check them. I also suspect that the broken-down vehicle was unusual, suggesting you examine it. After all, it was too coincidental, as if intended to bring me down. If I hadn’t trained, I might not have reacted quickly enough to jump away."
The police recalled the scene’s chaos, also feeling a chill, promising, "Miss Ye, rest assured, we won’t overlook any doubt."
"Thank you very much. I’m a legitimate taxpayer, just hoping to uncover the truth. Once you do, I’ll present a banner to express appreciation. My position is somewhat sensitive, the faster the truth is revealed, the greater the public trust in the government."
Ye Qiu didn’t need to say that, the police already understood, especially since she regularly engaged in philanthropy, benefiting the local police significantly, leaving everyone passionate.
While she said this to the police, after returning, Ye Qiu acted normally, explaining the incident as a mere accident to her family, soothing them. Her main intention was to make Mei Chunli lower her guard.
Ye Qiu never intended to investigate herself; it wouldn’t be appropriate. Besides, today’s police are skilled and fair; why shouldn’t she trust them?
As for the previous life, her father, Ye Changfeng, oppressed the investigation. The truck driver had died; therefore the case went unresolved.
