Free Web NovelChapter 236: Chapter 236: Homeless _1
"What are you doing? Who let you into my house?"
The members of the Zhang family hurried back into their villa, only to find several cleaners already inside, clearing out the trash from the villa.
These people had once been the servants of the Zhang family, but now, with the downfall of the Zhang household, they blatantly disregarded their former young masters and mistresses and greeted them with brooms instead.
"What do you think you are? The villa isn’t yours anymore. Your Zhang family is finished!"
"We’re here to clean up the trash, and you’re part of it! Get out of here quickly!"
As the Zhang family fell, it was like a tree falling and the monkeys scattering. Not only the wealthy families that used to be on good terms with the Zhangs had turned their backs, but even their own servants had become defiant, showing them no kindness.
With no other choice, they had to rummage through the piles of rubbish to find their personal belongings and leave in a disheveled state, wandering the streets.
Within just a few hours, all the villas of the Zhang family and all their properties were transferred. With the help of the Ningjiang Mayor, such a small matter was handled very quickly, of course.
By evening, the members of the Zhang family didn’t even have a vehicle to their name and had to walk the streets in search of a new direction.
Among the crowd, Zhang Ruoyu and Zhang Ruoxue instantly became the targets of everyone’s arrows. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
"The great Miss Zhang, once the pursuit of so many, is now a drowned rat—truly unexpected!"
"It’s all because of you, messing with someone you shouldn’t have, causing all of us to lose our homes. You bear full responsibility!"
"It’s all because we spoiled you, relying on your beauty, you treated all men with a cold shoulder. If you had just agreed to the marriage, how could we have ended up like this?"
"And there’s also Zhang Ruoxue. If you had just agreed to repay the money, how could this have happened? For one billion, you’ve lost hundreds of billions, thousands of billions—you must have been kicked in the head by a mule!"
"Damn you women, you both should atone with your deaths! And you, your silly father who’s too proud to face reality, all three of you should die!"
At this moment, the Zhang family’s relatives turned their fury towards Zhang Ruoyu and Zhang Ruoxue.
The sisters looked helplessly at their relatives, who had transformed into wolves, unable to fathom how the kin who once adored them could turn on them so quickly.
But now, stripped of their former pampered lives, they couldn’t even afford to get angry, forced to swallow their resentment.
Just as the crowd berated the two sisters, a series of footsteps suddenly approached.
Zhang Ruoyu lifted her head and saw a handsome figure walking towards her—it was Lin Bingqing.
Her body involuntarily stepped back, her gaze towards Lin Bingqing carrying a hint of admiration.
She no longer felt her pride, in front of Lin Bingqing, just a sense of inferiority.
Lin Bingqing, expressionless, came up to Zhang Ruoyu, looked down at her with a trace of pity in his eyes.
The Zhang family members dared not say more, for they had seen with their own eyes that Lin Bingqing was someone from Ye Ming’s side.
Zhang Ruoyu felt a glimmer of hope rise in her heart, thinking of Lin Bingqing as her savior, and asked, "Did your master send you to find me?"
Lin Bingqing, looking at Zhang Ruoyu’s distressed appearance, felt a surge of emotion.
She remembered how Zhang Ruoyu had once been a highly respected young lady, but now had fallen so low, like a dog who had lost its home.
Lin Bingqing nodded and said, "My master asked me to give this to you."
As he spoke, Lin Bingqing took out a bank card from his bag and placed it in front of Zhang Ruoyu.
"Here’s some money, it should be enough for you to spend for a while,"
In Zhang Ruoyu’s originally dim eyes, a spark of light ignited.
She took the card and continued to ask, "Has he...really not said he wants to see me?"
Even now, Zhang Ruoyu still hadn’t given up hope.
Lin Bingqing let out a cold laugh and said, "No, he hasn’t, and moreover, you’re not worthy!"
With that, Lin Bingqing turned and left without giving her another word.
Zhang Ruoyu watched Lin Bingqing leave, a flood of emotions welling up inside her.
As soon as Lin Bingqing was gone, the Zhang family’s relatives descended like starving tigers upon sheep, swarming over to snatch the card from Zhang Ruoyu’s hand.
"It’s all because of you that we’ve ended up like this; you ought to be the one giving us this card!"
"You and your sister deserve to starve!"
Zhang Ruoyu’s gaze dimmed once more; she watched Lin Bingqing leave without caring about the card in her hand.
...
Ye Ming witnessed this human tragedy unfold before his eyes.
Xia Ningning, seated in the driver’s seat, happened to notice Ye Ming’s gaze and asked, "It seems you still care, you probably can’t stand to see your little fiancée so miserable, can you?"
Ye Ming didn’t think before denying, "There’s nothing about her that warrants my pity, it’s just that, her grandfather was a friend of our family!"
"I’ve already been as ruthless as I can be; I can’t let her actually starve to death in the streets. Otherwise, how would I explain it to my grandfather?"
Xia Ningning snorted and asked, "Look at her now, with just one word from you, she would definitely come running back into your arms. Think about it, such a beauty, aren’t you really tempted?"
She asked this deliberately to test Ye Ming, wanting to see how he would react.
Ye Ming just gave a nonchalant smile and said indifferently, "If I were moved by her, her fate wouldn’t be so miserable. I am wholeheartedly devoted to Le Le and will never change my heart."
"If I were moved by her, why would I go to such lengths to publish a disengagement announcement, making it known to all of Ningjiang City?"
Having said this, Xia Ningning still didn’t let Ye Ming off the hook, her eyes still scrutinizing him.
Ye Ming gave an awkward smile, possibly because his actions had aroused Xia Ningning’s suspicions.
Since he couldn’t clarify, Ye Ming simply changed the subject and said, "We’ve been out for quite a while, and we’ve pretty much done what we needed to do, it’s about time we went back."
They had done many things in Ningjiang City that were even more important than breaking off the engagement.
The Spirit Spring Water business had been fully expanded into Ningjiang City, and he had also taken over the Zhang family’s assets, securing his position as the top figure in Ningjiang City, reaping a rich harvest.
Having done all that was necessary, his mind returned to Xu Lele, and he wanted to go back to see her.
Upon hearing this news, Lin Bingqing and Sun Miaomiao both showed happy smiles.
But soon after, Ye Ming poured cold water on their excitement, saying, "Bingqing, you might stay in Ningjiang City to handle some things for me!"
Lin Bingqing revealed a look of surprise and asked, "Master, we’ve already taken care of so much; is there something else that needs our attention?"
