Chapter 2023: Shut Up
Of course, the apology letter punishment was only for the accomplice. They still had not decided on the punishment for the main culprit, Ye Xueli.
It was a huge incident, so Colonel Ye heard about it even though he was not home. He rushed back to the city on the same day. He called his home when his train reached the station. He rushed home after learning that Ye Xueli was home after spending the whole day outside.
When he reached home, Colonel Ye suppressed his anger and knocked on Ye Xueli’s door.
He would have kicked the door open if Ye Xueli was not a grown woman.
Ye Xueli knew that she had to face her father’s wrath eventually. She knew her father had been away, so she only returned to the army base that day. She had planned to pack up her things and temporarily hide at a family or friend’s house.
She would leave matters at the army base for her father. She would only return after everyone had forgotten about it.
She did not expect her father to return so soon.
Ye Xueli clenched her teeth and thought, ‘My stepmother must have called him!’
She did not want to open the door, but she knew she had no choice. So, she got dressed and did that.

Since it was late, Ye Xueli wanted to tell her father to talk about it the next day.
However, Colonel Ye slapped her before she could finish her sentence.
“How can you hit her like that? Can’t you just talk to her properly?” Colonel Ye’s wife sat on the sofa as she tried to persuade him. She had a half-eaten pear in her hand. Her chubby son was also with her; he looked confused. He was frightened by his father’s rage.
“Shut up!”
Ye Xueli resented her father for hitting her. Her stepmother’s meaningless persuasion was like fuel to a fire. She knew that the woman was gloating.
“You can’t wait for my father to hit me, can you? It was you who told him to come home! Stop pretending!” Ye Xueli roared.

“Do you think I wouldn’t know if she hadn’t told me?” Colonel Ye shook his hands angrily and said, “I already knew you were fired. I arranged that job for you through my connections. How would I not know that you were fired? Do you think I was clueless about the happenings in the army base if she didn’t tell
Would he be a colonel if he were that useless?
He was embarrassed his subordinates told him what had happened.
Colonel Ye was furious. “I didn’t think I’d have a daughter as vicious as you. I would have killed you when you were born if I had known. I wondered why you were home so frequently recently. I thought you learned to be sensible. didn’t think you would have such an evil mind.”
“The rumor about Colonel Lu’s wife’s kidnapping is rampant in the base. You didn’t even hear what they were saymg about Xueli. I was too ashamed to go out. Those people are always asking me what Xueli was thinking.. Why would she want to kill Colonel Lu’s wife to replace her?”
