Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 441: Encountering a Thug and a Scoundrel
Even Wu couldn’t stand it. Thinking of Ye Ningwan’s status, he suggested to her, "Madam, the smell here is too unbearable. How about you wait outside while I go in to find the person."
"It’s fine. This sachet placed near your nose will make the smell a bit better," Ye Ningwan said, handing him a sachet.
Wu hurriedly refused, "No, it’s fine, I’m fine. I’m a rough man, not afraid of this. I’m just worried you can’t take it, since you’re delicate and precious, how can you stand such a bad smell."
"Then you’re underestimating me," Ye Ningwan said. "When I was in epidemic areas abroad, I’d seen worse, smelled things far worse than this."
"Ah, there’s something that smells worse than this?" Wu was surprised.
"The smell of corpses, isn’t it worse than this?" Ye Ningwan said with a smile.
Wu: "..."
He couldn’t help but swallow, feeling a chill in his heart.
Their Madam was indeed extraordinary.
"Ningwan?"
Suddenly, a woman looked at them in surprise and called out Ye Ningwan’s name.
Ye Ningwan looked over and frowned slightly.
The woman was wearing a floral shirt, all wrinkled. Her pants were torn, and her hair was disheveled with a full head of gray.
At first glance, Ye Ningwan almost didn’t recognize her.
Only after a while could Ye Ningwan vaguely see her features through her aged face.
It was the Second Aunt.
"Ningwan, it really is you!" Second Aunt walked over joyfully.
Thinking of the water on her hands, she hurriedly wiped them on her body.
Ye Ningwan sighed inwardly, remembering that Second Aunt, unlike First Aunt, came from a very ordinary background.
After all, Second Uncle himself was very mediocre, so when he married, he naturally also married someone ordinary.
When she first came to the Ye Family, it was said that she was often bullied by the First Aunt.
But as she stayed with the Ye Family for a long time, she gradually acquired some of the noble lady’s demeanor.
However, now, there wasn’t a trace of her former semblance. She even seemed less vigorous than the people at the construction site.
"Second Aunt, how did it come to this?" Ye Ningwan asked.
As soon as she asked, Second Aunt couldn’t help but be tearful, unable to control her tears from falling.
"Ningwan, it’s so good to see you. Please come home for a visit," Second Aunt invited.
Ye Ningwan went back with her.
The so-called home was just a rental room.
It was only about ten square meters, but it had three beds.
One single bed and two bunk beds.
The beds were in complete disarray. Apart from the space occupied by the two beds, everywhere else was filled with clutter, not even a decent chair to be found.
Second Aunt wanted to clear a clean chair but could only throw the piled clothes off it.
"Ningwan, please sit down. Sorry, there’s usually no one at home, there’s only this chair," Second Aunt said apologetically.
Ye Ningwan said, "It’s fine, we won’t sit down. Second Aunt, how did this happen? What exactly happened over the years?"
When Second Aunt heard Ye Ningwan’s question, her tears welled up again.
While wiping her tears, she recounted the ordeals of these past years.
Actually, life wasn’t good, but it wasn’t too bad either.
After Ye Henghuang left the Ye Family, he found a simple low-paying job, barely making ends meet.
Ye Ya also had a job, a decent one. They even had a young son attending school, so life was pretty harmonious.
Two years ago, the house they lived in was demolished.
They received three properties and two million in compensation.
This finally lifted them out of poverty, and the whole family was very happy.
However, this happiness didn’t last long. Soon, Ye Henghuang got lured into gambling.
At first, it was just small bets for fun, but later turned into serious gambling.
By the time she found out, Ye Henghuang had already mortgaged the two million of the relocation funds, plus the three properties.
He even borrowed a huge sum from loan sharks, and they came knocking, taking everything that could be taken from home. They demanded repayment by a deadline, or else they’d chop off one of Ye Henghuang’s hands.
They had no choice but to move the whole family.
To avoid creditors, they also resigned from their jobs and moved several times.
They only recently moved here.
Even in a place like this, they don’t know how long they can stay. Once creditors find them, they’ll have to find another place to move.
"Where is Second Uncle?"
After listening to Second Aunt, Ye Ningwan noticed that Second Uncle hadn’t shown up, so she asked.
Second Aunt said, "He doesn’t dare to stay home, only comes back at night to sleep. During the day, he hides outside. If creditors come, they can’t find him. Seeing me, just a woman, they won’t make things too difficult."
"What about Ye Ya and Ye Qing?" Ye Ningwan asked again.
Second Aunt wiped her tears, "Those two poor kids, Ye Qing is currently in high school. This delay has disrupted school. Ye Ya tutors him herself and can’t go back to her job. She takes a part-time job, teaching Ye Qing while earning a little money." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
"Ye Ya, Ye Ya."
Suddenly, someone outside shouted Ye Ya’s name loudly.
Ye Ningwan frowned.
Second Aunt’s face instantly turned ugly, standing up hurriedly to block the door.
But the person outside forced their way in.
"What’s this about closing the door? Mother-in-law, your son-in-law is here. Are you driving me out?" The man pushed in, almost knocking Second Aunt over.
Ye Ningwan frowned and looked at the man who walked in.
The man was about in his thirties, with a scar on his face, clearly not a good person.
Perhaps Ye Ningwan’s gaze was too cold, making the man quickly notice her.
Seeing such a beautiful woman, the man nearly drooled on the spot.
"Where did this beauty come from, how come you’re in a place like this? Want to come with me to somewhere nicer, eat something good?"
"Rude," Wu angrily rebuked
What kind of thing was this, daring to flirt with their boss’s wife.
"Who the hell are you? Guys, get this punk out of here, I want to have a private chat with the beauty," the man said, leering at Ye Ningwan.
Second Aunt became anxious and quickly said, "Zhao Kui, don’t do this, she is Ye Ya’s cousin."
"Oh, no wonder she’s so pretty, turns out you’re the sister-in-law. Mother-in-law, since Ye Ya doesn’t want to marry me, how about I take the sister-in-law instead."
"That can’t be," Second Aunt raged as she stepped forward, wanting to push Zhao Kui out.
"Old hag, get lost."
Zhao Kui impatiently shoved, causing Second Aunt to stagger back.
Ye Ningwan quickly reached out to support Second Aunt, concerned, "Are you okay?"
Second Aunt shook her head, immediately telling Ye Ningwan, "Ningwan, you should leave, this has nothing to do with you."
Ye Ningwan patted the back of her hand, reassuring her.
Then she looked at Zhao Kui and said, "You like me?"
"Of course, it’s love at first sight. Seeing you, I just like you," Zhao Kui said sycophantically.
"You like me, so what can you give me?" Ye Ningwan asked with a smile.
Zhao Kui immediately raised his hand and swore, "You want my life, I’ll give it to you."
