Chapter 15 - 14: The Not-So-Bad Dad
Ye Fang, who lived across from Liu Ping, might have had it a bit easier, but the increasingly deeper wrinkles on her face also revealed her discontent with life.
Her husband, Zhao Haiyang, although he became an administrative manager because of his elder brother's influence, hadn't managed to get a promotion in many years, and his salary wasn't even higher than that of Brother Ye, the security team leader.
As a result, for a long time, her in-laws and husband harbored deeper and deeper disapproval of her. Although they didn't dare to quarrel with her openly, the three of them united in ostracizing her, treating her as if she were an outsider, even their son, under the instigation of the grandparents, wasn't close to her, his mother.
As time passed, Ye Fang's resentment towards her elder brother and sister-in-law grew stronger. Clearly, they possessed a wealth that they wouldn't be able to spend in a lifetime, so why wouldn't they extend a helping hand to their own sister?
Thinking this, Ye Fang left the house in a huff, carrying her bag. Liu Ping, from across the hall, heard the sound of the door slamming and, after some thought, stealthily followed her.
Both families had been in the provincial city for several years, and it was impossible for Ye Qiu to keep his real address from her forever, but today was the day of the college entrance exam, and both Ye Qiu and Chen Wen were at the company. Ye Fang hadn't phoned beforehand, so she arrived to find no one home.
With no one in the house, Ye Fang didn't bother to ponder the reason, simply assuming that her elder brother and sister-in-law were deliberately avoiding her. She didn't try to contact anyone and instead went to the clothing company.
Now, Chen Wen's clothing company had expanded several times over its original factory site, and a few years ago, they even built a skyscraper of over thirty stories right here, creating the coveted fashion Empire in the fashion world.
Since Ye Fang and Liu Ping frequented the place all year round, the receptionists recognized them. Ye Qiu had also specifically instructed that whenever they arrived, they were to be led to the reception room and notified immediately.
