100m Yuan Wife: Buy One Get One

Chapter 405: Settling the Score

The young kid timidly raised his hands and forced a smile on his face. He said, “Daddy, shall we evict the outsiders before settling the domestic affairs? Let’s not mess this order up and treat outsiders to a spectacle.”

“That’s right. Third brother, third sister-in-law, we can talk things out,” Ye Wei laughed as she said despite the incongruent look on her face. It seemed she was hoping to watch the spectacle.

‘Dear son, it seems that I have not brought you up in vain.’

Daddy Cheng wanted to explain, but Ye Chen raised his hands and laughed. “Daddy, don’t say anything for now. I will talk to her when we are home.”

Third Young Master Ye heavily emphasized ‘talk to her’. Cheng Anya shrugged her shoulders as though nothing had happened. She looked into Third Young Master Ye’s eyes deeply and wondered whether he recalled anything. If he did not recall anything, Lin Li pulling that off on her would mean Third Young Master Ye giving her a very bad time.

She turned her head and coldly said, “Gao Mei, Lin Li, are you getting out yet? Or would you like an invitation from us?”

Lin Li smartly realized that the atmosphere between Third Young Master and Cheng Anya did not seem right and broke into a terrifying smile. “Third Young Master Ye, I am telling the truth. Despite what Cheng Anya told you, she must be lying.”

While Lin Li had no idea how Third Young Master Ye learned about it, she pounced on the opportunity to fleece him of his money. She imagined money falling from the sky and felt exceptionally good for a moment.

“It seems like you really understand her.” He sounded a little cryptic as he imagined himself giving Cheng Anya a good lesson.

“That’s a given. Cheng Anya is an utter liar. When she stayed with us, she lied every day. What a perpetual liar she is.” Lin Li insulted Cheng Anya even harder, taking exceptional joy in fanning the flames.

Gao Mei, who was watching from the side, was extremely worried.

“Is that so?” Third Young Master Ye smiled elegantly as he looked at Cheng Anya. “She is indeed a perpetual liar.”

A certain campy scene replayed in Third Young Master Ye’s head. He clenched his fists even harder as anger came over him. He had the ‘cross me and you’re toast’ look.

Ye Wei looked at her third sister-in-law sympathetically.

The young kid pulled Cheng Anya’s sleeves and softly said, “Mommy, you have spun too big a lie. Daddy is really looking upset, so keep that in check. I cannot help you this time.”

Ye Wei tucked her lips and smiled. She became even happier when she saw the young kid pout in a seemingly extremely unhappy manner. Cheng Anya pinched his face and became slightly angrier. She was indeed in a predicament. She said, “You’re not going to help me anymore? If you didn’t always ask where your daddy went to, would I have lied to you? It was not me who told the campy story but you, so why are you pinning that blame on me?”

As Third Young Master Ye listened on, his anger burned even more. He tried to suppress the anger that boiled over in him and said, “Dear Anya, it seems that you need to reflect on your intentions. Keep it up, and I will listen to whatever reasons you have to offer.”

The young kid raised his hands in panic and said, “Evict outsiders first. Evict them first.”

Third Young Master Ye quietly sat on the sofa and looked at Cheng Anya coldly. Cheng Anya ignored him and looked at Lin Li from the corners of her eyes. “What are you waiting for? Scram, damn it!”

Lin Li, Gao Mei, and the others could also tell that Third Young Master Ye was angry and were planning to drive a wedge between them. Third Young Master Ye, however, did not respond. He sat on the sofa and looked at them with a seeming smile. The mother and daughter could not make up what was on their mind.

Cheng Anya smiled coldly upon hearing Lin Li say, “Cheng Anya, are you sure you will not agree to my conditions?”

“No way in hell!” Cheng Anya immediately denied and laughed arrogantly like a queen. She said, “Lin Li, what kind of dream is that of yours? Even if we prostitute you for life, we will never earn said amount.”

Lin Li flew into a rage and said, “If you are not giving me that amount of money, I will tell them what happened to you at the bar those years ago and your perfect love story will no longer be perfect. If the media gets wind of it, can you afford the embarrassment?”

While Cheng Anya frowned, Third Young Master Ye had a good laugh and said, “Lin Li, did you say you took her to the bar back then?”

“That’s correct.” Lin Li nodded.

Third Young Master Ye took a side glance and pointed to her and asked, “Why did she want to go to the bar?”

He remembered that she was extremely drunk and drugged. So Lin Li was the suspect! Humph! He kept the score. If she had encountered somebody else instead of him back then…

The anger in him built up.

Cheng Anya was secretly cursing at how bad things went. Oh, dear, if this leaked, Third Young Master Ye would utterly lose his composure. The young kid, on the other hand, was thinking. If his mommy did not like Lin Li, why was she drinking with her?

Cheng Anya shot a warning glance at Lin Li, but the latter harrumphed and ignored her. She said, “If you give me the money, I will tell you.”

Third Young Master Ye leaned back arrogantly and crossed his legs. He had a tasteful smile across his face and said, “A hundred million? Deal.”

Ye Wei laughed and said, “Dear brother, to buy information for a hundred million is not value for money. How about you let me teach her a lesson? I’m sure she will yield. This doesn’t make sense.”

The young kid raised his eyebrow when Daddy Cheng was about to say something. The young kid tugged Daddy Cheng and shook his head, hinting to Daddy Cheng to stay out of it and let his daddy talk to her instead.

Cheng Anya remained emotionless. She was going to get hurt by the truth anyway.

Gao Mei, on the other hand, rejoiced and tugged Lin Li’s sleeve and beckoned her to quickly tell Third Young Master Ye. Lin Li was still a tad more cautious and repeated her question, “You’ll really give me the money?”

“As long as you tell me the truth. It’s a small change,” Third Young Master Ye smiled elegantly.

Lin Li acknowledged and said, “Back when Cheng Anya was dating Wang Rui, Wang Rui two-timed her only for her to notice it. She was thus in a bad mood and wanted to drink despite having no money, so I brought her along and paid for her.”

And she went the whole nine yards by calling someone with the intention of prostituting her. Lin Li would naturally not say that.

Third Young Master Ye’s elegant smile became a cold smile, and the young kid felt that his mommy was certainly dead meat. Third Young Master Ye slowly turned to look at Cheng Anya, who was clearly calm and reserved.

Those were indeed the facts.

Third Young Master Ye did not see her rebut Lin Li, so he knew that Lin Li was telling the truth. Third Young Master Ye regretted his initial anger. Had he knew what happened back then, he ought to have torn Wang Rui a new one. She had encountered him when she was heartbroken, drunk, and schemed upon.

So he became a stand-in for somebody that very night?

If looks could kill, Cheng Anya would have become ashes long ago. Third Young Master Ye was truly enraged. Cheng Anya quietly teared. How could her luck be so bad?

“Third Young Master Ye, that’s the truth. It’s time for you to fulfill your promise.” Lin Yi and Gao Mei, the mother-daughter duo, had a greedy look in their eyes. A hundred million yuan would allow them to live in opulence for the rest of their lives.

Third Young Master Ye coldly harrumphed. “A hundred million in hell notes.”

Ye Wei broke into laughter. ‘Third brother, you should not troll them like this!’ Miss Cheng, however, was unable to laugh. Third Young Master Ye did say back then that he would pay for a night with her and she asked the same question in return. She was thinking of paying him in hell notes.

Did that damn idiot regain his memory? How could he not even show it?

When Gao Mei and Lin Li, the mother-daughter duo, knew that Third Young Master Ye had taken them on a ride, they cursed and scolded him gratuitously and were on the verge of hysteria. Third Young Master Ye eventually kicked them out of the house and called Long Fei in front of Brother Bull. “Long Fei, bring some men to Chunkou to take care of a few idiots. Don’t kill them. Just wallop them into submission.”

“Understood!”

When Brother Bull heard Long Fei’s name, his legs trembled in fear. Third Young Master Ye coldly harrumphed. He dared to use the name of the Dragon Gate to carry out such things. What an idiot!

He did not have the mind to settle that. Instead, he stared at Cheng Anya while gritting his teeth. He had a score to settle with her.

Since she was at Daddy Cheng’s place, Third Young Master Ye naturally did nothing. Once they returned to the mansion, he pulled Cheng Anya up the stairs and slammed the door of the master bedroom with a loud thud. Everybody downstairs shrugged their shoulders.

Ye Wei asked, “Would the marriage be delayed?”

…

Upstairs, Third Young Master Ye pinned Cheng Anya against the door once she entered the room. He looked at her deeply as he propped his body against the door. Cheng Anya felt her heartbeat speed up.

She did not dare to look at Third Young Master Ye in the eye and instead looked around. When she squirmed, she felt the breathing of the one around her become rougher. She calmly looked back and down like some girl next door who was ready to receive her scolding.

A moment later, Third Young Master Ye said nothing and Cheng Anya slightly panicked from his presence. She decided to be direct and say, “I made a mistake, okay? I should not have lied to you, but you cannot get angry at me for this. Since Ning Ning asked me why he had no daddy, I definitely couldn’t tell him that he was born because we had a one night stand. That would seriously traumatize any child, and I had no choice but to spin a campy story. Who knew you really encountered an accident and lost your memory, and add the fact that Ning Ning even told you said campy story. I will make amends, and it really was an accident.”

“You had many opportunities to tell me the truth,” Third Young Master Ye said through gritted teeth and almost strangled her. Where the hell did she find the courage to be so righteous?

“You really could not remember, and I, at the start, did not…” Cheng Anya looked at Third Young Master Ye’s sinister face and wondered if she would die with her unborn child. She had spun that lie for too long, and it would be better for her to come clean. “Do not get anxious. I will tell you the truth. I did not like you at the beginning, and I did not expect you to like me. I felt that we had to go separate ways… Okay, okay, can I stop? I said that I will not make you anxious. To think that people these days do not like to hear the truth, and you still blame me for lying to you…”

“Cheng Anya!” Third Young Master Ye’s roar could be heard by the three downstairs who looked at each other, speechless. Cheng Anya felt that she had gone overboard. Was apologizing insufficient?

What else could she do?

“Let me say something honest as well. If I knew that you had really encountered an accident, I would not have come up with such a story back then. I really should have come up with another one. Please don’t stare at me. I am telling the truth,” Cheng Anya calmly replied. Third Young Master Ye’s anger reached its peak and suddenly lost all desire to get angry with her.

“I really want to strangle you.”

“Calm down, calm down, you will regret it.” Cheng Anya smiled at whatever he said. She said, “Tell me what exactly you want me to do so that you will not be angry.”

“Were you planning to always hide it from me?” Third Young Master Ye coldly asked.

“Since you can’t remember a thing, does it make a difference to say it? My silliness in admitting it caused you to be angry, but Daddy said earlier that couples must be honest and upfront with each other. I ought to have told you just so that you bear an even deeper grudge against me in the future. I was really hoping that my honesty would beget your mercy.” Cheng Anya obediently told him what was on her heart.

Third Young Master Ye coldly harrumphed and scrutinized the woman in front of him, his gaze incomprehensible. “Since honesty begets mercy, here’s your chance. Who did you treat me as back then?”

Cheng Anya did not understand the question at that moment and instead felt intense anger burning in him. She had never felt Third Young Master Ye’s anger burn this intensely. She could not help but feel trepidation.

As his gaze became colder, he said, “You became drunk because of a man and encountered another man instead. Who the hell did you treat me as?”

She finally understood the question. Did he assume that she treated him as Wang Rui? Seeing her pondering with no apparent answer, Third Young Master Ye suddenly barked, “Tell me!”

Anger burned brightly in his eyes.

“Ah Chen, I was romantically involved with Wang Rui for a while, but I did not love him. When I discovered that he two-timed me then, I was quite unwilling to end it. Besides, he betrayed me along with my sister. Is it a crime for me to get angry then? Besides, Wang Rui is just Wang Rui and I did not treat you as though you were him.” Cheng Anya explained. As Third Young Master Ye listened on, his mind was at ease.

Memories from that moment rushed into his mind. He recalled how she did not call Wang Rui’s name. She was drunk and was perpetually crying from his torment. She called him a beast, and that thought sent him into uncontrollable arousal.

He had yet to settle his score with her, but his damn little brother was excited and ready. What was most stifling, however, was how he was visually feasting on her. What did he have to get excited about?

Third Young Master Ye’s heart became twisted and Cheng Anya looked down to see somebody’s junior wanted to greet her. She looked around uncomfortably. That pervert…

She was indeed out of luck. Third Young Master Ye would never relieve himself once he had her. Left with no choice, she had to help him…

She got… the short end of the stick.

“You know what to do to appease me now?” Third Young Master Ye pulled back his hands on the door and broke into a perverted smile. He looked at Cheng Anya’s lips with a fiery passion in his eyes. He knew how he could settle her.

“Have you regained your memory or not?” Cheng Anya felt her face turn slightly warm. Since the air was clear, she did not mind being at a slight disadvantage as long as he did not have another opportunity to settle another score with her.

“What do you think?”

Cheng Anya stared at him and Third Young Master Ye pecked her lips in return. He smiled and ran his finger across her lips. “Let’s do it slightly differently this time. Use this instead.”

“Third Young Master Ye, you…” He kissed her on the lips before she could finish.

As Cheng Anya struggled for her dear life, she said, “I… I don’t know.”

“I’ll teach you.” He sounded attractive and hoarse.
