Chapter 124

Upon returning to the Tang residence, Ye Fengyun found the Tang family sitting in the living room, their expressions radiating an air of impending judgment.

Ye Fengyun said nothing and silently headed toward his room.

"Ye Fengyun!" Tang Shihan suddenly called out.

Ye Fengyun stopped in his tracks and asked, "What is it?"

Tang Shihan glared at him indignantly. "Have you forgotten our relationship?"

"I haven't." Ye Fengyun's reply was calm. "Since you all intend to kick me out of the house, I shall leave."

"You..." Tang Shihan was caught off guard by his response, momentarily at a loss for words.

Lin Yuzhen, sensing her daughter's inner turmoil, stood up and said, "Fengyun, come and sit here for a moment."

Ye Fengyun walked into the living room and sat down.

Lin Yuzhen sighed. "Fengyun, has our Tang family not treated you well?"

Ye Fengyun nodded.

Lin Yuzhen continued, "And has Shihan not been faithful to you throughout your time here?"

Ye Fengyun nodded again.

"Then why would you betray Shihan? Even if this is just a contractual marriage, shouldn't you at least fulfill your mutual obligations?" Lin Yuzhen sighed.

Such a gentle mother-in-law was truly rare in this world. Facing her, Ye Fengyun found it difficult to speak harsh words.

However, just as he was about to speak, Tang Dahai interjected viciously, "It’s just a dog unable to break its habit of eating filth. A bumpkin from the mountains, living like a monkey—he hasn't changed his true nature even after coming to the city."

The words were so malicious that even Lin Yuzhen could hardly bear to listen.

"Husband, that is..."

"What? Are you saying I’m wrong?" Tang Dahai glared at Lin Yuzhen, who sighed and lowered her head, remaining silent.

Tang Dahai turned his gaze back to Ye Fengyun and demanded, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Ye Fengyun stood up and said, "I have nothing to say."

"Then pay the penalty for breach of contract, take your pathetic junk, and get out!" Tang Dahai roared.

Ye Fengyun wanted to retort to this foul-mouthed simpleton, but for the sake of Tang Shihan and his mother-in-law, he held back. After all, this was his final day as a member of the household, and he did not want to leave on such an ugly note.

Ye Fengyun turned and walked toward his room. Before he even reached the door, he could still hear Tang Dahai’s vitriol echoing from the living room.

Ye Fengyun silently packed his belongings. Looking at the Tianshan Rootless Water, the Kunlun Stone Stalactite, and the Thousand-Mechanism Stone on his desk, he muttered to himself:

"Only three more medicinal ingredients left."

He packed the ingredients into his suitcase. As he was about to leave, he turned to see Tang Shihan standing in the doorway.

Ye Fengyun tried to walk past her, but Tang Shihan raised her arm to block his path.

"What is it?" Ye Fengyun asked.

Tang Shihan frowned and said coldly, "Aren't you going to offer an explanation?"

Ye Fengyun smiled. "Explain what?"

"Explain why you betrayed our marriage."

Ye Fengyun had long lost the habit of explaining himself. Indifferently, he replied, "I have nothing to explain."

Tang Shihan’s gaze grew colder. "So, you are confessing to your infidelity, then?"

Ye Fengyun smiled faintly. "When someone looks at others through tinted glasses, no matter what that person does, it will always be seen as wrong."

Tang Shihan laughed in fury. "So you mean to say I’ve wronged you?"

Ye Fengyun said nothing and quietly walked out of the room.

Tang Shihan chased after him, shouting sternly, "Ye Fengyun! I demand an explanation!"
