Chapter 314 -314: You Are Not My Daughter of the Ye Family

Ye Family ancestral home.

In days past, at this time, everyone in the ancestral home would have been resting, but today, the entire ancestral home was brightly lit.

In the study, Ye Chongzun was practicing calligraphy.

The butler knew that the old master would practice calligraphy whenever he felt upset, using it to suppress his foul mood to the lowest point.

Seeing him writing sheet after sheet, the butler couldn’t help saying, “Old Master, the eldest master and the second master have both arrived, and the young miss has been kneeling in the ancestral hall for three hours already. It’s cold and raining at this late hour, her health might not hold up!”

Ye Chongzun paused his brush, “She is no longer our Ye Family’s young miss. From the moment she chose that man over the family, I considered her no longer my daughter. Tell her to leave, she does not deserve to kneel in the Ye Family ancestral hall!”

But the butler knew he was speaking in anger. Otherwise, Ye Jinyu wouldn’t have been allowed through the door when she returned.

Now that she was allowed inside, it showed that the old master didn’t really want to expel her.

The butler tried to speak well of Ye Jinyu, “Old Master, the young miss already knows her mistake, she has cried in the ancestral hall for a long time. Furthermore, I heard she just had surgery recently and isn’t in great health. You should go and see her!”

“When did you start asking around about her affairs again? Haven’t I said not to meddle with her anymore? She has severed ties with the family over a man!”

Ye Chongzun’s anger could not be suppressed, not even by practicing calligraphy.

He threw his brush down and walked out of the study.

The butler hurriedly followed.

Descending the stairs, Ye Chongzun saw that his two sons were already seated in the living room.

The younger son’s face looked even worse than his, obviously, even after so many years, he was still holding a grudge against Ye Jinyu.

The elder son was much more composed. Seeing him coming out, he urged, “Dad, don’t make Jinyu kneel in the ancestral hall anymore. Let her come over. In the end, we are still a family. She is willing to come back and admit her mistakes, you have to give her a chance. It can’t go on like this.”

Ye Chongzun was furious, “Was it I who made her kneel in the ancestral hall? Did I permit her to kneel? Butler, tell her to get out of my sight!”

The butler hesitated, uncertain about what to do.

As the standoff continued, the living room door was suddenly pushed open, and Ye Jinyu walked in.

Her eyes were swollen from crying, and upon entering, she knelt before Ye Chongzun, “Dad…”

“I am not your dad!”

Ye Chongzun’s voice was incisive, his tone bone-chillingly cold, “In your eyes, there has never been me as your father, nor the Ye Family! You only have eyes for that man who is good for nothing but his looks! Get out, you are not my daughter of the Ye Family! From now on, I forbid you from setting foot in the Ye Family ever again!”

Ye Jinyu trembled, “Dad, it was all my fault before, I don’t dare to ask for your forgiveness. I only wish to ask your permission to enter the family cemetery once, to pay respects to my mother.”

“You still have the face to enter the family cemetery to pay respects?!”

Ye Chongzun stepped forward and slapped her across the face, “Before your mother died, I sent people to call you back, but you didn’t come! She refused to take her last breath on her deathbed, waiting for you, hoping against hope. And you? You didn’t come back to see her one last time! She died with her eyes open, do you understand?!”

Ye Jinyu’s face instantly paled, and she shook even more violently, “My mother… before she passed away, you sent for me?”

Ye Chongzun, remembering the scene of his wife’s death, shook with rage, almost unable to stand.

The butler hurriedly brought over a chair and helped him to sit down.

Ye Canghai sighed, “Jinyu, before Mom’s last moments, not only did Dad send someone to call you, but Zhengrong and I each also sent someone. Didn’t you receive any message at all?”

Ye Jinyu’s tears welled uncontrollably, “Big brother, I really didn’t receive any message. Otherwise, how could I not have come back? How could it be like this? How could I… I…”

Ye Zhengrong’s icy scorn was evident, “Useless! You don’t think for yourself, and you don’t listen to the family. You insisted on marrying Wen Xingye, and as a result, he brainwashed you completely, controlling everything inside and outside the family. You couldn’t even meet the people sent by the family! What else can you do?! Calling you useless is an overstatement!”
