Chapter 129: A selfish moment
The brother and sister chatted for a while, then left Ye Chi's room one after another. When they reached the door, Ye Ling stopped and said, "I still stick to my opinion."
Ye Chi did not respond. He knew that it was useless for him to say anything now. Only when Liu Yuzhen was dealt with could the two siblings reach a consensus on whether to get married or not.
After going out, Ye Ling was the strong Ye Ling again.
Ye Xingjian and Liu Yuzhen were sitting in the living room. Seeing Ye Ling was about to leave, Liu Yuzhen stood up and said with a smile, "Ye Ling, are you leaving? Have dinner first. I'll cook your favorite dishes myself."
Ye Ling didn't look at her and said calmly, "No, let's go home and eat."
Ye Chi walked out with the car keys in his hand, saying, "I'll take my sister home."
The brother and sister went out one after another. Liu Yuzhen said, "Did I do something wrong? I saw Ye Chi coming back, and thought that they hadn't seen each other for a long time, so I called Ye Ling and asked her to come over and get together with Ye Chi. But I saw that both of them looked unhappy."
She had a smile on her face when she spoke, but anyone who saw her smile would feel helpless and aggrieved.
Ye Xingjian patted her hands and said, "I don't blame you. Ye Ling wanted to introduce Ye Chi to someone, but Ye Chi disagreed."
Liu Yuzhen uttered an "oh" and said, "Speaking of which, Ye Chi is already of marriageable age. They have a good relationship as siblings, so the girl Ye Ling introduces to Ye Chi is naturally the best. Why doesn't Ye Chi agree?"
Ye Xingjian believed that his wife was innocent and kind, and was genuinely good to Ye Chi and his brother, so he said without any defense, "Didn't I tell you that I was saved by a little girl when I was in Shanshui Town?"
Liu Yuzhen nodded. "You said you wanted to thank them, but you can't find them."
Ye Xingjian smiled, "It was Ye Chi who ran into them. It was fate. Ye Chi fell in love with that girl."
Liu Yuzhen smiled happily, "Our Ye Chi is going to marry you in return for saving your life!"
Ye Xingjian laughed heartily, then sighed and said, "The daughter of the Xia family that Ye Ling mentioned is indeed more suitable. I will be retiring in a few years, and Ye Chi is the one who will support the family. If we can form an alliance, it will be better for both him and our family."
When Liu Yuzhen heard Ye Xingjian say that Ye Chi would still be the one supporting the family in the future, her eyes flickered slightly, and then she smiled and said, "That's true, but Ye Chi likes that girl. It's really a dilemma."
Ye Xingjian sighed again, "Let Ye Chi decide for himself. I'll try my best to help him before I retire, but after that, he'll have to rely on himself."
"You have to consider Xiaolei as well," Liu Yuzhen sighed softly. "Xiaolei isn't as capable as Ye Chi, so you should consider him more. It might sound selfish of me to say this, but what mother wouldn't consider her own child? Ye Ling is also considering Ye Chi in every way."
Ye Xingjian wasn't angry when he said that. He was her stepmother, and if she always favored Ye Chi and Ye Ling, he would be worried. He just liked her to speak directly about her feelings and not do anything behind her back.
People are selfish, and it is normal for Liu Yuzhen to make plans for her own son.
"You insisted on letting him join the army, but he's not cut out for it." Ye Xingjian said, "The army is about strength. Even if I help him, I can't help him complete missions or get first place. Ye Chi didn't have my help in Lizhou, but at the age of 27 he was already a battalion commander, which is one of the best in the country. He's the stuff of soldiers."
Although Ye Xingjian appears to be shrewd and calculating outside, he has no scruples when speaking to Liu Yuzhen. First, he trusts her, and second, he doesn't need to worry. Liu Yuzhen depends on him for her livelihood, so he doesn't need to worry about her emotions.
Liu Yuzhen lowered her eyes. No second wife liked to hear that the ex-wife's children were better than her own, especially when it came from her husband. But she couldn't show her displeasure, because her personality was gentle, simple, and sensible.
The character cannot collapse.
"Yes, Ye Lei is not as good as Ye Chi," Liu Yuzhen stood up and massaged Ye Xingjian's shoulders, saying, "But it is precisely because he is not as good as Ye Chi that we should help him more."
Ye Xingjian hummed, "Please persuade him to retire. After he retires, I will arrange a job for him that will provide him with food and clothing for the rest of his life. I will protect him while I am alive. One day when I am gone, there is still Ye Chi. Don't worry, although Ye Chi is not close to you, you don't have any major conflicts. If Ye Lei has any problems in the future, Ye Chi will definitely take care of it."
Liu Yuzhen: ""
My heart aches.
Standing behind Ye Xingjian, Liu Yuzhen took a deep breath and said with a smile, "I'll do whatever you say. I also know that Ye Chi is upright and honest, and I will have to rely on him in the future."
"Well, I just like that you understand things." Ye Xingjian felt comfortable being pressed, closed his eyes and said, "Don't accuse me of being partial. If Ye Lei had half the ability of Ye Chi, I would also train him vigorously. Alas, who does this kid look like? He loves to show off."
Liu Yuzhen stood behind him and took a deep breath again, otherwise she would be angry to death.
…
Ye Chi returned home very late. He didn't want to stay in this house at all. It looked harmonious on the outside, but it was full of swords and blood inside.
Entering the living room, Liu Yuzhen was pouring a glass of milk into the bedroom. She was doing a good job on the surface and taking care of Ye Xingjian meticulously.
Seeing Ye Chi, she smiled and said, "You're back. Your father and I have been waiting for you for dinner."
Ye Chi hummed, not watching her go upstairs to her room. This disregard made Liu Yuzhen very angry, but she couldn't complain. Ye Chi had always treated her like this, and Ye Xingjian knew it.
She hated that Ye Chi was too outstanding, overshadowing his son's brilliance. Otherwise, she wouldn't have to live such a miserable life.
Ye Chi returned to the house, washed up, and sat on the sofa in front of the bedroom window. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and smoked silently.
Today, Ye Ling told him that he couldn't be so selfish and asked him to let Gu Yimin go, but he didn't want to. He knew from a young age that if you want something, you must fight for it.
This time he was selfish.
Isn’t it just Liu Yuzhen?
I couldn't touch her before, but now I can. If I pull out her teeth, she won't be able to do anything. The best thing would be to get her to divorce the old man, but that seems a bit difficult.
After he cleaned up the house, he would confess his love to her and then propose marriage to the Gu family. He believed that he could bring happiness to Gu Yimin.
…
Lizhou
Gu Siqing was in fifth grade and about to take the entrance exam to middle school. Wang Yueju hadn't been particularly nervous. Back in the village, adults rarely paid much attention to children taking exams, especially since Gu Siqing's studies had always been a priority.
But Si Tianyi's mother had already started preparing. She had to turn off the TV at 7 o'clock and the whole family had to be nice to Si Tianyi to avoid affecting his mood and thus affecting his entrance exams.
etc…
Wang Yueju also became nervous when she saw this. These days, Gu Siqing has become the giant panda in the family, so precious.
But she felt very awkward and just wanted to take the exam as soon as possible.
