Gu Yifei became angry when he thought of what Meng Zihan had said to him.

He stubbornly insisted, "Aunt Meng did nothing wrong. They raised Ye Linchen, and now that Ye Linchen has earned money, shouldn't it be handed over to them?"

Because her family didn't have money, Meng Zihan couldn't afford tutoring, making her studies increasingly difficult. She often cried while doing exercises and was ridiculed by her classmates for her poor grades.

It pained him to see it.

"Ye Linchen earns so much money, but he won't give a single penny to his parents or use it to tutor Zihan. He just squanders it all on himself. He's so selfish!"

Gu Jingran frowned.

"What will happen to Ye Linchen now that the Ye family has taken his salary?"

"She can go home. It's selfish of her to live alone outside, eating and drinking well!" Gu Yifei retorted without hesitation.

"Go home? Where does she live? You know the Ye family better than I do, there's no place for her there."

"Ye Linchen's salary is earned by herself, and how she spends it is her own business. Why is she being selfish?"

"Or do you think that all the money I earn should be spent on you? And that not giving it to you is selfish?"

Gu Yifei was speechless after Gu Jingran's series of questions.

He paused for a moment before retorting, "The Ye family is different! Zihan is an orphan, all alone..."

"Her parents died, but it was Ye Linchen who suffered! She grew up in the Ye family, while Ye Linchen lived alone in the countryside for eighteen years! Ye Linchen is the one who is truly alone and miserable." Gu Jingran interrupted him without any politeness.

Gu Yifei was speechless.

That's really true!

But when he thought of Meng Zihan crying alone, he immediately found a new reason.

"The college entrance exam is just around the corner, a major event in her life that concerns Zihan's future. Can't Ye Linchen show some sacrifice and help Zihan? She's her own cousin, her mother's niece!"

Gu Jingran stared sharply at Gu Yifei.

What right do you have to demand that she sacrifice herself?

"Why should Ye Linchen interfere with Meng Zihan's future?"

"She is not yet independent, has not entered society, and has no obligation to take responsibility for someone else's future."

"She still has to live and study. It's already quite remarkable that she's managed to do what she has now."

Gu Yifei's face flushed red as he pointed at Gu Jingran angrily, "Brother! How did you become like this? You've been corrupted by Ye Linchen, becoming just as selfish and self-serving as her!"

"Her own parents despise her, how could she be a good person?"

Gu Jingran's expression turned very ugly.

"Don't you think it's contradictory that her parents despise her on the one hand, but want her money on the other?"

"Should parents who truly love their children act this way?"

"Xiaofei, let me tell you clearly, the Ye Linchen I know is a girl who strives to live a good life, studies diligently, and never gives up when faced with difficulties, not the person you described!"

"Your prejudice against Ye Linchen has blinded you to her efforts."

"But I believe she doesn't need your approval!"

Gu Yifei stood up angrily, pointed at Gu Jingran and shouted, "Brother, how could you say such things about me for the sake of an outsider?"

Do you think you understand her?

"Zihan said she's good at playing the victim to gain sympathy; you've been fooled!"

"You'll regret it! You'll regret it once you see her true colors!"

Looking at his bloodshot eyes, Gu Jingran suddenly sneered: "I have eyes to see."

"I've never heard Ye Linchen say a bad word about Meng Zihan behind her back, but Meng Zihan has obviously said plenty. Xiaofei, when judging a person, don't listen to what others say; use your eyes to see and your brain to think..."

"Are you saying I'm brainless?" Gu Yifei angrily interrupted Gu Jingran.

"Don't try to change my mind. I know you guys can make money, you think you're so great, and you look down on us. Don't worry, I will never take a single penny from you again!"

He got angrier and angrier as he spoke, "Last time at your company, you forced me to apologize to Ye Linchen, making me lose face. Now you're saying this to me again. I've treated you like my own brother!"

"Get out! Don't ever come to my house again! You're helping outsiders bully me like this, you don't deserve to be my brother!"

Gu Jingran was stung by his words and took a long time to take a deep breath.

"Alright, I'm leaving. Think about what I said. If you really don't like Ye Linchen, stay away from her and don't hurt her with Meng Zihan."

He didn't blame Gu Yifei.

This cousin is simple-minded, straightforward, and has a rather one-sided understanding of many things.

I just hope that when he goes to university, meets more people, and experiences more things, he will gradually understand.

Gu Jingran went to the kitchen and greeted his mother, "Auntie, I have something to take care of at the company, I have to go right away, I won't be able to eat."

Knowing that he was busy with work, Gu's mother said regretfully, "Oh dear, your uncle will be back soon. Can you wait until he comes back before you leave?"

"Let's do it another day, there's plenty of time."

Gu's mother had no choice but to see him out, reminding him not to just focus on work, but to take care of his health.

Turning around, I saw Gu Yifei standing at the door with red eyes and a blank expression.

"Mom, did I really do something wrong? Ye Linchen earns money, so should he enjoy it himself and not give it to his parents? If I do that, will you be angry?"

Gu's mother glanced at the door, as if she understood something.

"You and your brother had a fight? About the Ye family?"

Gu Yifei walked to the living room sofa and sat down dejectedly.

"Yes, he blames me for telling Zihan about Ye Linchen's part-time job."
