Ye Guanguan frowned, “Dad…”
She couldn’t help but think daddy’s words had a hidden meaning.
Ye Guo heard someone calling him, and then noticed Ye Guanguan was in front of him. His face turned stiff.
But still, he was an experienced man in the business field. He quickly adjusted his mood, “Don’t overthink it. I just think your elder brother is not righteous enough.”
Ye Qiancheng was scolded and he didn’t even raise his head. He looked like a wooden man.
Seeing this, Ye Guo felt like his fist hit on cotton, soft and useless (meaning you treat someone harshly but he doesn’t react at all, and it looks like he is ignoring you, which makes you unhappy.) He felt stifled. It was like there was something stuck in his heart.
He was so angry that his face turned red. He kept rebuking him, “You deliberately hold it against me?”
“Ye Qiancheng, you are no longer a teenager and I’m no longer the father who is energetic and can fight desperately for my career.”
Ye Guo’s voice suddenly became a little deep and sounded helpless, “Guanguan has already got married. As her elder brother, you should take the responsibility on behalf of her natal family.”
“Now, you are even willing to do anything, regardless of how inapproriate it is, for a club lady. How can I pass on the Ye Group (the family business) to you?”
“Without Ye Group backing us up, how can our family hold our reputation in the S City? And who can Guanguan count on?” If Guanguan was ever bullied in the future, what could you, as her elder brother, do?
Ye Qiancheng’s eyes got a little red, “I won’t let Guanguan go through any of that!”
“You won’t?” Ha, I am not trying to disappoint you, but without Ye Family and our Ye Group, you, Ye Qiancheng, can’t even protect yourself in the S City. How can you protect Guanguan then? ”
Ye Guo unfolded the cruel side of reality directly in front of Ye Qiancheng, not even caring if he would lose his face.
He shook his head, a trace of disappointment flashing across his eyes. Since Ye Qiancheng had been following him to travel all around, he saw these things clearly. He knew exactly what his father truly wanted was no more than Ye Qiancheng’s promise of breaking up with the club lady.
Ye Qiancheng knew that but he didn’t do it. He obviously was insisting on something.
Ye Guo didn’t want to force Ye Qiancheng to do so. He rubbed his throbbing head, “Forget it, recently life has been so easy on you that you clearly forgot how cruel and crazy this business world is.”
“Go back to your own room. Before you figure it out, you are not allowed to take one step out of the villa without my permission!”
If he cut off their connection, it would be at least helpful, even in the slightest way.
Without saying anything, Ye Qiancheng turned around and left the study.
Ye Guanguan stood where they were, looking at the direction where Ye Qiancheng had left, feeling rather uncomfortable.
She had heard Ye Guo’s words, clearly.
The burden on their shoulders was about her, the little sister and daughter.
But this time, in her present life, she no longer wanted to be their burden.
Ye Guo sighed and glance at Ye Guanguan, “Guanguan, stay at home and have dinner with us. I’ll ask Mrs. Liu to prepare something that you like.”
Ye Guanguan didn’t want to be at the same dinner table with her uncle, Ye Jian, and his family. She was quite annoyed. However she couldn’t refuse her father when looking at his hopeful eyes, “Fine.”
A hint of smile appeared on Ye Guan’s cool face. He said while walking outside, “I will ask Mrs. Liu to prepare the dinner now.”
Standing outside the study, Ye Guanguan looked at the direction Ye Guo had left, with complicated thoughts rolling in her eyes. Finally, she turned around and knocked on Ye Qiancheng’s door.
Without any response, she pushed the door open and walked in. She immediately saw a figure on the balcony, which seemed so lonely and unhappy.
For a moment, Ye Guanguan felt that she had made a mistake. She shouldn’t have told her father those things about her big brother and Meng Wanru.
However, it was only for that moment.
The tragic fate of Ye Qiancheng and Meng Wanru in their previous life flashed in front of her, which was so miserable and desolate.
How could she see those two helpless people who had tortured each other in their previous life, once again step into that bottomless, scorching pit that could melt people.
Stop it!
At least, those tragedies wouldn’t happen again.
Ye Guanguan took a deep breath, but her eyes were unconsciously full of tears, “Brother is no longer willing to turn back to look at me?”
Was her elder brother who used to treat her as an apple of his eyes and protect her now became distant with her because of her willfulness.
The thought flashed across her mind quickly, but it slashed her directly in her heart.
She didn’t want to do this either. She also wanted to see her big brother and his lover live happily together. But he and Meng Wanru were doomed; they were not supposed to be together!
The voice coming behind him didn’t show any grievance. It was just a subjective statement, but it made Ye Qiancheng’s body stiffed and his heart clenched for a moment.
Ye Qiancheng pursed his lips and eventually turned around, helplessly but lovingly, “How can it be like that? You overthink it.”
Ye Guanguan felt her heart ache as well. Her elder brother, who used to be high-spirited all the time had become not like himself ever since he met Meng Wanru.
The bitter taste spread out all over her mouth, but she didn’t care. She looked at him with her eyes burning, “Even if you blame me, I won’t agree on you and Meng Wanru getting together.”
The topic was brought up by her, initiatively. Ye Qiancheng’s lips twitched for a while and his eyes flashed with struggle, but he still asked, “Because she is a club lady?”
Except for her status, he really couldn’t think of any reason for Guan’er to stop him and Wanru being together.
“Guan’er, status doesn’t mean anything.” It was just like you and Lu Jinting being together. You know he was also criticized by the whole world because of his identity… ”
Ye Guanguan really didn’t like others talking about Lu Jinting’s status. If the person in front of her wasn’t Ye Qiancheng, she would have been torn him into pieces.
However, her look was not good, “Lu Jinting is very good. You should remember that in the future, I will not be happy if you say anything bad about him.”
After showing her bottom line, she said softly, “In your heart, I am just such a shallow person? A person who judges people by their family and background? ”
“Does that mean that when I was together with Lu Mingye, I did that because of his background?”
Ye Qiancheng choked. He didn’t expect Ye Guanguan to have such a big reaction.
He calmed down and found out how hurtful his words were. He hurriedly tried to remedy, “Guan’er, that’s not what I mean. I’m just saying…”
Of course Ye Guanguan knew he didn’t mean it, and she didn’t want to waste time on these meaningless arguments, “I don’t mind her status.”
“Since you took Lu Jinting as an example, let me ask you a question. Is the situation between me and Lu Jinting really comparable to that between you and Meng Wanru?”
Ye Qiancheng’s face froze, turning black, and suddenly he didn’t know what to say, not even a single word.
“Lu Jinting at least has feelings for me and he won’t hurt me.” Ye Guanguan’s tone became a little intense. “But can you guarantee that Meng Wanru has feelings for you and won’t hurt you?”
In their previous life, Meng Wanru didn’t show her love for Lu Qiancheng until he died. But when he was dead, everything was too late. She didn’t want Ye Qiancheng to die because of her in this life.
Seeing his sullen face, Ye Guanguan couldn’t bear to continue. She sighed, “Anyway, you should think it over during this period of time!”
She hoped her daddy to ground him, because it was really useful.
