Chapter 1024: Exchange Student

She’s just too lazy to care, out of sight, out of mind.

If it wasn’t for the hospital’s calls urging payment, she wouldn’t have taken a step inside.

Before she even walked in, there was a smashed ashtray at the doorway.

Ye Wanting walked over with an expressionless face.

Madam Ye heard footsteps, came out, and saw her, looking a bit panicked, “Wanting, why have you come?”

Ye Wanting glanced at the bathroom behind her, the door wasn’t closed tightly.

Ye Cheng was definitely inside.

“What’s he causing trouble about again?”

“Your brother’s not causing trouble; you’re talking about the ashtray at the door, aren’t you?

I was cleaning earlier and accidentally knocked it over.”

A flicker of coldness passed through Ye Wanting’s eyes.

She sat down next to the sofa, picked an apple, and grabbed the fruit knife.

Madam Ye kept looking back and said urgently in a low voice, “You should go home; there’s no need for you here.

Otherwise, when your brother comes out and sees you, he’ll become agitated again.”

“What’s he agitated about, just because I know Yaen Chi?”

Madam Ye became even more anxious, “You absolutely mustn’t mention that name in front of your brother!”

“What if I do mention it, what can he do?

What can he do besides hiding here pretending to be tough, does he dare provoke Yaen Chi?

Just because I know Yaen Chi, he also hates me?”

“You child, how can you!”

Seeing that she couldn’t sway her, Madam Ye was also angry that Ye Wanting had become increasingly disobedient lately, always arguing with her, coupled with the grievances she suffered from Ye Cheng.

She suddenly burst out.

She took a few steps forward and tried to pull Ye Wanting up, “You come outside with me to talk.

You’re becoming more and more unruly!”

Ye Wanting shook off her hand; the fruit knife in her right hand switched to her left hand, keeping the knife tip away from Madam Ye.

She had already peeled half of the apple, now using her left hand to peel the remaining half.

At this moment, the bathroom door was slammed hard against the wall.

Ye Cheng came out angrily, pointed his finger at Ye Wanting, “You wench, you still dare to come here.

You’ve ruined me, and you don’t feel any guilt, do you!”

Ye Wanting remained completely still.

She didn’t even look up.

She didn’t need to look to imagine Ye Cheng’s fierce expression.

After she finished peeling the apple, she picked up a plate and cut it into small pieces.

“Mom, actually, I’ve always wondered about one thing: While we’re staying at Uncle’s place, how come Ye Cheng knows to come here looking for us?”

Madam Ye’s expression faltered for a moment.

Ye Wanting asked, “Was it you who informed him?”

Madam Ye was about to speak when Ye Cheng yelled angrily, “It’s Mom who called me to tell me, not because I asked.

Who are you questioning here?

Since when did the Ye Family allow you to call the shots?”

“Just as I thought.”

Ye Wanting gave a cold laugh, “So, all these years, no matter where we were, whether it was at various part-time jobs, or me working at the hospital, you would report every detail to him, is that right?”

“What’s wrong with that?

We’re family, after all, what if your brother comes back and can’t find you?”

Ye Wanting almost burst into laughter.

She frequently changed her part-time jobs, all because of Ye Cheng.

Whenever he came back, he would first strip Mom clean, then come ask her for money, and if she didn’t give it, he’d cause trouble at her workplace.

Family, indeed!

She was nothing more than a tool for Ye Cheng to make money!

She’s already twenty years old, doesn’t even have four-digit savings in her bank account, her pocket is emptier than her face, and she’s lived until now with nothing but a hollow shell.

By now, Ye Wanting no longer cared to argue with them hysterically.

She was very calm, speaking clearly and distinctly, “Mom, there are five exchange student spots available abroad, as long as my grades are good, I can stay there for my graduate studies.

I’ve already submitted my application to the school, given my credentials, it’s not difficult to get selected.

I came today to let you know that I’m planning to cut off all contact once I’m abroad, and won’t tell you which country I go to.”
