Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 552

Zheng Cai was now sincerely admitting her wrongs!

She truly realized her mistakes. Why had it been so hard to acknowledge Ye Yuning’s excellence? Just because Ye Yuning wasn’t her biological child? She had always known that the Ye Family’s current success was all thanks to Ye Yuning. Every time she heard those wealthy ladies talking about it, she always felt uncomfortable. However, during this recent period, when they mentioned Ye Tong, Zheng Cai finally understood! Having a daughter like Ye Yuning was truly something those people couldn’t even dream of envying. As for Ye Tong... she was truly exhausted.

"I was too petty before," Zheng Cai said. "I’m not asking for your forgiveness, but I’m asking you not to forget the relationship between us."

Even though that relationship wasn’t so harmonious, to Zheng Cai, there was still some affection. As long as there was affection, that was good enough!

Ye Yuning frowned, roughly understanding what card Zheng Cai was trying to play.

She chuckled. "You don’t need to play the sentiment card with me here. We have long since..."

"Ningning!" Zheng Cai interrupted before Ye Yuning could finish.

Clearly, she didn’t want to hear what Ye Yuning was about to say.

"The New Year is almost here, and your grandfather wants to see you too. Can you not be so absolute? Even if we aren’t qualified family members, there will be times in the future when you will need us."

A woman cannot be without the support of her maternal family! Once that is gone, she must tread carefully, fearing any mistake.

"What need could I possibly have for you?" Ye Yuning scoffed.

She had seen through it all. It was probably because Old Master Ye had been pressuring Zheng Cai recently. The Ye Family members might have lacked other skills, but their obsession with status and power was ageless. Even Old Master Ye, despite his advanced age, still knew how to curry favor with the powerful and look down on the weak. When Ye Tong returned to the Ye Family, the first to reject her was Old Master Ye! If he could be so cold to his own granddaughter, would he truly dote on her, someone with no blood relation? What they saw in her was nothing more than the benefits she could bring to the Ye Family.

Since she had already taken the opportunity to clarify everything last time, Ye Yuning had no desire to soften her heart now just because of Zheng Cai’s few kind words.

Seeing Ye Yuning remain indifferent, Zheng Cai’s face turned a shade paler.

"No, you can’t say that."

"I won’t go back to the Ye Family. Please leave!"

The Ye Family—would she go back? Even if she did, it would be in a different capacity, definitely not with the feelings they hoped for. Come to think of it, the Ye Family’s villa was still registered in her name. If she were to really press the issue, given their behavior, they should have been kicked out long ago. But right now, she didn’t have the time to reclaim it! After all, everyone in Upper City believed their adoptive relationship was valid. If she didn’t use some other method and simply evicted them forcefully, it would affect her as well. Ye Yuning used to not care! But Qin Jinchuan and Xiao Shuo’s influence on her was so great that she couldn’t help but pay attention to these things now.

Her directness in asking Zheng Cai to leave made it hard for the latter to maintain her composure. She rose to her feet. "You..."

"Mrs. Ye," Ye Yuning said, "you should just continue being Mrs. Ye. Stop trying to play the sentiment card with me."

"..."

"From now on, just remember one thing: you and I have no relationship. That’s enough!"

Dealing with such people was the real trouble, and Ye Yuning wanted no further interactions with her.

Zheng Cai’s face turned an ashen hue.

"Fine, fine. I’ll just wait and see how tough you can be. Don’t come to regret it later."

Losing patience after just a few words? And she still expected Ye Yuning to forget the past and cherish their old ties. Talking about affection with such a person was a complete waste of breath.

"Even if I do regret it, you won’t be the one gloating. Go back!"

"You, you, you’re just too much!" Zheng Cai exclaimed. "Who gave you the audacity to treat us this way?"

Who gave her the audacity?

Ye Yuning replied, "That’s none of your concern. By the way, you’d best stay far away from me. I’ve already offended the Xiao Family."

"What? You’ve offended the Xiao Family?"

Zheng Cai was so shocked she almost jumped.

No way! She’d actually offended the Xiao Family...?

"How did you offend the Xiao Family?" Zheng Cai asked, panicked.

Ye Yuning met her gaze. "Curious?"

Zheng Cai remained silent. Curious? She wasn’t curious; she was worried about being implicated by Ye Yuning! Was this girl insane? To dare offend a powerful house like the Xiao Family—just how audacious did she think she was?

Ye Yuning pressed, "Aren’t you leaving?"

Zheng Cai had wanted to say more, but the thought that Ye Yuning had offended the Xiao Family made her feel there was no need. She quickly left!

Watching her flee as if escaping a disaster, Ye Yuning sneered. So much for being her ’maternal family’! Sharing the good times but worse than strangers when trouble arose! Who would dare rely on such support? Who could?
