"She doesn't like him?" Ye Haiming sneered, his eyes fixed on Ye Ru, and asked in a cold tone, "Then let me ask you, do you have feelings for Herbott?"
Ye Ru's body stiffened abruptly, a wave of unprecedented fear washing over her. Her intuition told her that if she dared to disobey Ye Haiming's wishes, her future would be exceptionally difficult.
She shook her head with difficulty, managing to force a smile that looked worse than a grimace.
"Daddy, I think Mr. Herbert is pretty good..."
Seeing Ye Ru's reaction, Ye Ting felt a surge of protectiveness. He quickly stepped forward, shielding Ye Ru behind him, and fixed his gaze firmly on Ye Haiming, saying in a deep voice:
"Xiaoru isn't telling the truth at all! You know perfectly well that she wouldn't dare to disobey your arrangements, yet you still interrogate her like this!"
This time, Ye Haiming didn't attack Ye Ting as he had before. He simply looked at Ye Ting coldly and said in a completely emotionless tone:
"Starting today, you'd better go back to China and stay there obediently! I'll cut off all your sources of income, and you can forget about enjoying any resources or benefits from the Ye family anymore! Since you're unwilling to follow my arrangements, then I'll give you back your so-called freedom!"
At that moment, Ye Ru was stunned. She had never seen Ye Haiming lose his temper with Ye Ting like this.
She nervously tugged at Ye Ting's sleeve and whispered, "Brother, I'm really okay. Actually, I'm quite satisfied with Dad's arrangements. Please stop arguing with him and quickly apologize to him, okay?"
Ye Ting was not an impulsive person, but the thought of Ye Ru pretending to please that ugly Y country man made him unable to suppress his anger.
Ye Haiming's words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the anger in his heart. He knew that if he dared to contradict Ye Haiming again, Ye Haiming would really do what he said.
He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, as if he wanted to vent all his resentment and anger, but he desperately restrained himself and tried to convince himself to let go of his pride.
He silently told himself, "Give in, Ye Ting! You have no room to resist!"
"Hmph, since that's how it is, you'd better go back to China right now. Come back to me when you've thought things through!" Ye Haiming said angrily, turning to leave.
Just then, Ye Ting's voice slowly rang out: "Daddy, I'm sorry, it was my fault... It's all my fault, please forgive me."
Although it was an apology, the tone was filled with resentment.
Hearing this, Ye Ru finally felt relieved. She knew that Ye Ting's feelings for her were far more than just brotherly affection, and therefore, she had been worried that he would abandon everything for her. Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Ye Ting did not lose his composure.
"It's good that you know you were wrong. In a few days, after Xiaoru's leg injury has healed, the two of you will come with me to Mr. Herbert Smith's residence to apologize to him properly." Ye Haiming did not turn around, but his tone was gentler than before.
Ye Ru forced a smile and replied softly, "I understand, Daddy. I'll definitely do better next time."
However, deep in her heart, there was endless bitterness and helplessness.
