As Ye Anxin approached the house, she noticed that the door was wide open. A group of people in moving company uniforms were moving things outside, disregarding her parents' objections.
Through the open door, she could see her mother standing in the middle of the living room with her head down, weeping silently.
Her father was following behind the people from the moving company. Whenever they moved something, he snatched it from their hands and put it back where it belonged. He was also shouting at them, "You thugs, get out of here. This is my home. You can't do whatever you want here."
Xie Yunlu, who was standing in the doorway, hadn't even noticed that Ye Anxin was standing behind her, as she said disdainfully, "Your home? What a joke. I, Xie Yunlu, have lived for more than 20 years, and I have never seen anyone as shameless as you are, occupying other people's homes and taking it for granted. I told you that the marital contract between Ye Anxin and Mu Rufeng has been nullified, so you have no right to live in this house any longer. Pack your things and get out. Otherwise...don't blame me for being merciless."
Father Ye took a deep breath, dropped the stool he was holding from shock, and screamed in a crazy voice, "Nullified the engagement? Why? Why? She has been with him for three years, since the age of 17. How can it be nullified so easily? No, we won't agree."
Xie Yunlu sneered at him. "Hee, hee...what a shameless family. The marriage contract has already been nullified, yet you refuse to let it go."
Ye Anxin, who had been standing behind her, couldn't bear to listen to her anymore, so she stepped into the room and slammed the anti-theft door firmly behind her.
Xie Yunlu was surprised by the loud sound. She hurriedly looked around, but when she saw that it was only Ye Anxin, the panic on her face disappeared, and she immediately resumed her smug expression from moments before.
Ye Anxin suppressed her anger as well as she could and said coldly, "Xie Yunlu, you and your moving people better leave here immediately, otherwise I won't be courteous toward you any longer."
Xie Yunlu crossed her arms in front of her chest and glanced at Ye Anxin disdainfully. "Ye Anxin, you've finally shown up? I thought you were being cowardly and wouldn't dare show up in front of me."
Ye Anxin was unwilling to show any weakness and immediately answered back. "Why wouldn't I dare to see you? I'm high-minded, unlike some people, who are an embarrassment to all women. Instead of being an upright woman, you chose to be a mistress, and not only don't you feel ashamed of it, you feel proud of it. Xie Yunlu, let me tell you something clearly. This is my home, and we don't welcome you here, so crawl right back to wherever you came from."
Xie Yunlu looked at Ye Anxin and smirked, then took out a neatly folded document from her handbag, and opened it in front of Ye Anxin. "This is a rental contract. If you had a brain, you would remember that Rufeng rented this house to you. Now that the two of you have nothing more to do with each other, I naturally have the right to take back the house. Let me tell you, I'm the mistress of the house now, so you will immediately take your fraudster parents and get out, otherwise...I'll throw you people out with all your stuff."
Ye Anxin looked at the rental contract in Xie Yunlu's hand, and she felt as if she was going to choke. She couldn't swallow her anger or vomit, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
Father Ye pushed Ye Anxin away and grabbed the rental contract from Xie Yunlu's hands. His eyes widened as he carefully read it over and over again. Although he didn't believe it was true, the facts were laid out before him. He had no choice but to believe it.
"This is impossible. How is this possible? Anxin, you broke up with Rufeng? How is this possible? Didn't you go to get your marriage certificate just now?"
