Gu Yifei briefly told his mother what had happened, feeling very aggrieved.

"Mom, I really don't understand. What did I do wrong? Ye Linchen and Meng Zihan are cousins. This is a crucial moment for Meng Zihan's future. Why can't she help Zihan?"

Gu Yifei believed he hadn't done anything wrong and hoped to get support from his mother.

Gu's mother sat down next to him, thought for a moment and said, "I've heard about the Ye family's affairs. Putting everything else aside, I admire Ye Linchen very much."

Gu Yifei suddenly looked up, his face full of surprise.

"You admire her? She's so selfish, only thinking of herself, how could you admire her?"

Gu's mother's tone was full of praise:

"Such a young girl, with both parents alive, was abandoned in the countryside for more than ten years, and has been studying hard all along. Now she has moved out of the Ye family and can support herself on her own. How can such a person not be admired?"

"It's very difficult for a girl, especially a high school student, to establish herself and survive. She not only did it, but she did it very well. It's really not easy."

Gu Yifei retorted, "But she has no sense of friendship at all. She only cares about her own enjoyment and doesn't care about her parents' lives or deaths. She refuses to help Zihan."

Mother Gu looked at him and shook her head: "The Ye family raised Meng Zihan as their own daughter for eighteen years. During these eighteen years, Meng Zihan enjoyed everything that should have belonged to Xiao Ye. She has already received more than enough."

"Besides, Meng Zihan's matter is being handled by the Ye family's uncles and aunts, so it's not Ye's place to take responsibility."

"Meng Zihan and Ye Linchen are about the same age. Ye Linchen can get what he wants through his own efforts, so why can't Meng Zihan? Why does she have to be like a parasitic plant, only wanting to take and unwilling to be independent?"

"To put it another way, if Meng Zihan really wants to study and get extra help, why can't Meng Xueyun go to work? What kind of family would force their daughter, who hasn't graduated from high school, to work and live off her salary?"

Gu Yifei's expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "Mom, you've misunderstood Zihan..."

Gu's mother interrupted him, "I know you feel sorry for Xiao Meng, but this is someone else's business. Don't interfere. The most important thing for you now is to study hard and do well in the college entrance examination."

Gu's mother never liked Meng Zihan. She watched Meng Zihan grow up and thought the child was too scheming and calculating.

But since her son liked it, she turned a blind eye.

But now that it involves the relationship between her son and Gu Jingran, she can't ignore it.

"What you said to your brother today was too much. When he comes back next time, apologize to him yourself."

Gu Yifei lowered his head and remained silent.

His most respected mother and older brother actually shared the same viewpoint. Could it be that he was really wrong?
