Chapter 313: Get Out

Through her conversation with Lu Shan, Bai Zhi gained a deep understanding of her inner world.

She also knew that Lu Shan could never be attracted to Ye Qingbo, and that Ye Qingbo had no need to make a one-sided effort.

As Ye Qingbo's family, they should promptly offer guidance and advice, urging him to give up on his fruitless unrequited love.

Start a new life, don't put pressure on others, and don't let yourself get stuck in a quagmire.

She knew that Lu Shan had specifically asked her to have dinner alone today for this very reason.

When Bai Zhi got off work in the afternoon, she specially bought some vegetables and cooked a few dishes, planning to sit down and have a good meal with her grandfather and Ye Qingbai.

With the wedding approaching, her feelings became complicated.

I cherish the time I spend with my family.

Ye Qingbo didn't go out all day. Ye Rufeng came back from his morning clinic early and chatted with Ye Qingbo for a while.

Ye Qingbai was in a low mood, and no matter what Ye Rufeng said, he kept his eyes down and remained silent.

When Bai Zhi was cooking, Ye Qingbai also went into the kitchen to help her.

But when it's time to eat, she says she has no appetite.

"Sit down. Your cousin came home from get off work and specially cooked dinner. What kind of attitude is this? Don't you have any shame?"

Ye Qingbai had no choice but to obediently sit down after being yelled at by Ye Rufeng.

"It's just a breakup, what's the big deal?" Ye Rufeng said. "No, this doesn't even count as a breakup. You've never even been in a relationship, so what kind of breakup is this?"

Ye Rufeng's words made Ye Qingbai even more heartbroken.

Yes, neither of them had ever been in a relationship.

If two people break up after dating, it can still be considered a breakup.

But for him, it was just a one-sided love that would never come to fruition.

"Xiao Zhi, did you see Dr. Lu today? Did she mention me to you?"

Ye Qingbo was curious to know how Lu Shan felt after she so resolutely rejected him yesterday.

Although he knew he was being pathetic, his love was inherently humble.

"Cousin, Dr. Lu had lunch with me today."

Now that things have come to this, Bai Zhi no longer wants to give Ye Qingbai any unrealistic hope.

She had anticipated this outcome when she supported his confession.

But I still supported him.

Because there are some things he has to face himself before he can give up.

"Dr. Lu told me to comfort you. She said she was sorry, but there would be no future between you two, so she didn't want to hold you back."

Ye Qingbai had still held a sliver of hope, but Bai Zhi's words plunged his heart into an ice cellar.

"Is she really unwilling to give me even the slightest chance?" His eyes were vacant, and his voice became hoarse.

"Cousin, you can't force matters of the heart. Try to be more open-minded."

Ye Qingbo's handsome face darkened, and he remained silent.

Seeing his demeanor, Ye Rufeng shook his head helplessly.

That afternoon, Ye Qingbo spent a long time crying and pouring out his heart to him, the main point being that he was madly in love with Lu Shan and couldn't let her go at all.

Ye Rufeng was not a very understanding person and had no idea how to comfort him.

All he knew was that forced relationships are never sweet.

You have to give up when you should.

But no matter how much he talked, the brat wouldn't listen to a word he said.

Seeing that Ye Qingbai was losing his appetite and looking like he'd lost his soul, he started lecturing him again, "You brat, can't you be a little more capable? What's wrong with the men in the Ye family? They're either completely fooled by women or infatuated with them. Can't you guys be a little more responsible?"

Seeing that Ye Rufeng was truly angry, Ye Qingbai sniffed and tried to compose himself.

The more I try to adjust, the more uncomfortable I feel.

"Second Grandfather, you're getting old and don't understand our young emotional world."

Ye Rufeng snorted coldly, "Get lost, as if I've never been young."

Ye Qingbai: "You were young once, but you never experienced love."

Ye Rufeng, "!!!"

Ye Qingbai muttered, "If you understood love, could you have been so heartless as to ignore my second grandmother back then?"

"What did you say?" Ye Rufeng's face was grim, his sharp eyes shooting at him, and he exuded a chilling aura.

Bai Zhi was also terrified.

She never expected Ye Qingbo to mention her grandmother.

That was her grandfather's taboo.

The key point is that Ye Qingbai's understanding is clearly in line with Ye Tiandong's.

They all believed that when her maternal grandparents were imprisoned in the cowshed, her maternal grandfather failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband. Not only did he not take care of her maternal grandmother, but he also betrayed her to regain his freedom.

Just as Bai Zhi was about to explain something, Ye Rufeng suddenly slammed his hand hard on the table.

His face was dark and gloomy, as if a storm was brewing.

Ye Rufeng's sharp eyes turned dark and deep. He said, "Since that's how you think of me, then get out of my house. You don't deserve to live with me."

"Second Grandfather, I..."

Ye Qingbai realized his mistake and wanted to apologize for his careless words, but Ye Rufeng didn't give him the chance. He pointed towards the door, his eyes filled with disappointment, and his voice was steady and powerful, leaving no room for argument, "Get out."

Ye Qingbai didn't say anything, stood up, and bowed to Ye Rufeng, "Second Grandfather, I'm sorry, I misspoke."

"I'm leaving now. I'll come back when you've calmed down."

After Ye Qingbo finished speaking, he turned and left.

Bai Zhi originally wanted to follow him and ask where he was staying, but she was intimidated by a glare from Ye Rufeng.

She had no choice but to sit down again.

Ye Rufeng's emotions were clearly affected by Ye Qingbai's words.

The grandfather and grandson ate their meal, with Ye Rufeng keeping his eyes down and remaining silent.

After eating a few bites, he said he was full and got up to go back to his room to rest.

Bai Zhi looked at the dishes on the table and sighed wearily.

How could her grandfather not be heartbroken?

Being misunderstood by her own son, she simply cut off all ties with him and stopped all contact.

Even his grandnephews thought that way about him.

Perhaps not only Ye Qingbo, but also Ye Qingbo's father, were biased towards Ye Tiandong from the bottom of their hearts.

In his past life, my maternal grandfather was obsessed with medical research, and his attitude towards others was indifferent and apathetic.

Even if he was misunderstood, he had no intention of explaining.

Therefore, her relationship with her uncle has always been strained.

My uncle also doesn't seem to have any intention of contacting the old man.

The father and son remained deadlocked for twenty years until her uncle met the research aunt, which cleared up the misunderstanding and led to them taking the initiative to reconcile.

But by then her grandfather was already old, and the father and son hadn't been in contact for a long time. Even though they tried to break the ice, they couldn't live together happily like other fathers and sons.

In this life, Bai Zhi discovers that her maternal grandfather is somewhat different from her previous life.

Perhaps it was because his granddaughter, who knew the inside story, stood firmly on his side and believed in him that the old man's heart was not as aggrieved as it had been in his previous life.

Therefore, he was willing to open his heart to her and show her his true self.

After all, there's absolutely no need to hide anything from her.
