Chapter 162 - 162 162 Shi Youjin Youre Still Good at
?Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Shi Youjin, You’re Still Good at Pretending to be the Good Guy Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Shi Youjin, You’re Still Good at Pretending to be the Good Guy Ye Chuyi shook her head, “That’s not possible. I won’t sign the divorce agreement for now.” The Ye Family wouldn’t allow her to do so.
“For now? You really want to get a divorce.”
Sheng Tingyuan’s face looked rather unpleasant, “Ye Chuyi, divorce is impossible. Unless both the Sheng Family and the Ye Family go bankrupt, the two families are bound together, and you are bound to me.”
Ye Chuyi continued eating without raising her head.
Indeed, they were bound now, but someday in the future, when he discovered her true identity, he would probably be the quickest to unbind them.
Both he and the Sheng Family wanted the daughter of the Ye Family, not the daughter of a maid and a murderer.
After filling her stomach, Ye Chuyi took out a card and handed it to Sheng Tingyuan.
Recognizing the card he had given her, he didn’t accept it, “What do you mean?”
“I’m paying you back. The five million you transferred for me, I’ve put it onto this card.”
“It’s just a small amount of money, no need to return it.”
“Even brothers settle accounts clearly.”
“We’re not brothers, Ye Chuyi.”
“Close enough.”
Saying so, Ye Chuyi stuffed the card into his pocket, “Thanks for the dinner; you can go now.”
Sheng Tingyuan lifted her hand, “I’ll go after I’ve changed your bandages.”
Ye Chuyi pulled her hand back, “No need, I can do it myself.”
After being scolded by him at noon, her heart felt sour, and it wasn’t a good feeling. She had reflected on it and realized it was because he had been too good to her before, and she had unwittingly become somewhat dependent on him.
This was a dangerous signal.
She, a counterfeit, actually wanted to consider him her husband, which was absurd.
Without further explanation, she pushed Sheng Tingyuan out the door and then slammed it shut with a “bang.”
The assistant, seeing his boss kicked out, couldn’t help but ask, “President Sheng, didn’t you manage to appease Madam?”
“Hmm.”
“How about letting Auntie Wang send over some more of her delicious cooking?”
“No use.”
She even returned the five million to him; her intention to draw a clear line between them was quite obvious.
But—
Sheng Tingyuan opened his palm, he had smoothly taken her keys, so entering the house was still possible at any time.
In the living room.
Ye Chuyi also noticed the missing keys, but she didn’t make a fuss about it, thinking it wasn’t a big deal to just change the lock cylinder later.
She felt relieved to have pushed Sheng Tingyuan away.
She unwrapped the gauze herself, reapplied the ointment, then wrapped it with a new dressing, and returned to bed to continue sleeping.
Auntie Wang’s cooking was delicious; in her sleep, she dreamt of the freshly eaten tender and smooth meatballs.

Xingfu Residential Area.
Lin Yueqin walked around the house, clucked her tongue twice, “That little beast actually rented the house and even got a new fridge and TV. She’s quite filial to you, Shi Youjin; you always know how to play the good guy!”
Shi Youjin was somewhat dissatisfied, “Why didn’t you tell me when you sold the house?”
“Shi Youjin, don’t you forget, the house was transferred to me long ago. I’m selling my own property; why should I have to tell you?”
“But you should have told me. I thought Xiaoyi sold it and scolded her for it, making her upset.”
“So what if I scolded her? Is she now so precious that she cannot be scolded?”
Lin Yueqin’s voice became sharp, “When she was young, I could beat her into submission. She dared not disobey, she’d kneel and serve us as Youyou’s maid every day, and she was grateful to me!”
“But now, she dares to call me by my name, not even calling me mom! And she’s delusional, thinking about competing with Youyou for a boyfriend!”
“If it weren’t for your pretense of being nice and refusing to hit her, she wouldn’t be so defiant and unreceptive to me now!”
Shi Youjin lit a cigarette, took a drag, “Beating her is no use; she wouldn’t listen to you anyway. Moreover, it’s because you’ve hit her that she is rebellious now. She’s not a fool; she naturally won’t be filial to someone who treats her poorly. You have to give some sweetness along with the beating, that’s when it means something. ‘A slap followed by a sweet date,’ haven’t you heard of it?”
“I don’t have as many schemes as you.”
Lin Yueqin sneered, “You deliberately treat her hot and cold, one moment screaming and cursing at her to make her fear you, and the next, crazily apologizing to her and giving her pocket money to make her grateful and try to please you. You have her going around in circles, yet she sees you as the good guy and even went out of her way to bail you out of jail. What a cheap trick!”
