She had vaguely sensed something was wrong with her mother since last night.
But her mother refused to say, so she kept quiet and didn't ask.
But now Mom needs someone who knows the situation to be with her.
She wanted to be the one who knew the situation, stay with her mother, and help alleviate her mother's anxiety.
Seeing the serious expression on Ye Qi's face, Chen Junheng sighed and then truthfully told her:
"Your mother ran away from home back then."
"Run away from home?"
"Hmm." Chen Junheng lowered his voice as much as possible, "Your maternal grandparents used to object to your mother being with that boy Ye Ji."
"Why? Dad's conditions aren't bad either."
Chen Junheng: "...Your maternal grandfather and your paternal grandfather have always been enemies who couldn't stand each other. The thought of his daughter marrying the son of the person he hated the most made your maternal grandfather very unwilling, and he absolutely refused to let your mother and your father be together."
"Although the other one didn't disagree, his gloating expression angered your maternal grandfather. He still holds a grudge about the look in your grandfather's eyes back then, and he keeps cursing him for being a smug little man. He also curses your father for being a vixen who inherited his traits."
"..."
"Your grandfather was furious when he heard this. He changed his mind and disagreed with the marriage. He even threatened to cut off your father's credit card if he dared to get married."
"On the other hand, your maternal grandfather declared that if your mother dared to go out and suffer with a poor boy who had lost his credit card, he would pretend that she didn't have a daughter."
"Ye Ji is a man of principle. Without saying a word, he packed his things and ran away from home."
“Back then, Wanwan was very stubborn. She packed her things without saying a word and asked me to help her secretly return to China.”
Ye Qi looked up at Chen Junheng: "You agree?"
"Of course I agree. I don't have any hatred between those two. To me, Wanwan is a childhood friend. As a person, I can say she's like a daughter I've watched grow up. Wanwan wants to pursue happiness. Rather than suppressing her and making her unhappy for the rest of her life, it's better to let her try."
Chen Junheng looked at Shi Wanwan in front of him, because the handsome face with the scar, which was fierce even when he smiled, was now as gentle as ice melting into water:
"Besides, even if Ye Ji has changed his mind, so what? We can't deprive her of the opportunity to pursue happiness just because we're afraid of the suffering that follows. You can make more than one mistake in life. If Wanwan makes a mistake, she can come home anytime."
“Even if the old man doesn’t agree to let Wanwan come home, I will still build a home that belongs to her. As long as you have yourself, anywhere can be your home.”
"Whether I or your grandparents are around, your mother never lacks opportunities to regret."
"Moreover, putting myself in your shoes, if I met a girl I liked but my parents were against us being together, I wouldn't be happy either and would secretly run away. It has nothing to do with filial piety, it's just because I don't want to have any regrets. So, Wanwan shouldn't have any regrets either."
“Look, isn’t Wanwan very happy now? We are individuals, and we have the right to prioritize our own needs.”
He knew better than anyone the immense power hidden within this seemingly gentle and serene woman.
Ye Qi looked up at Chen Junheng and suddenly changed her opinion of this annoying uncle. At the same time, she blamed herself for disliking someone she didn't know the whole story of based on her first impression.
She pursed her lips: "I don't understand. If you can't weigh family and lover and can only choose one, why would you choose your lover?"
Chen Junheng paused for a moment, then laughed out loud. He was about to pat Ye Qi's head, but remembering that Ye Qi would be unhappy, he restrained himself and withdrew his hand.
“Not everyone chooses their lover; some choose their family. We can’t criticize someone just because they chose their family and someone else chose their lover.”
"You're still young, it's not time for you to make choices yet. Instead of agonizing over choices, focus on enjoying the present moment. The present is always the most important thing."
He patted Ye Qi on the shoulder: "Let's go."
