From childhood, the original owner always had to give way to Ye Jianglin, no matter what she did.
If the young master takes a liking to a toy he made by hand, he must give it to him unconditionally.
He scored higher than the young master, but he couldn't boast about it, otherwise he would be scolded by his mother when he got home, and in severe cases, he might even get slapped.
However, if he behaves well, such as playing with the young master and making him laugh heartily.
So a mother who rarely gives him a kind look is very likely to give him a smile and a compliment.
For the original owner, having a good mother was an incredibly luxurious thing.
Having lacked maternal love in her childhood, the original owner went to great lengths to please the young master in order to gain even a little bit of her mother's affection.
Unbeknownst to her, the original owner had become Ye Jianglin's follower.
Even with his own remarkable abilities, he couldn't escape the shadow of Ye Jianglin's brilliance and could only become a pitiful background figure.
After graduating from university, even though my major was simultaneous interpreting, which is in high demand, it's normal to earn 400,000 to 500,000 yuan a year.
However, because Ye Jianglin said that the company lacked talent, she was persuaded and emotionally blackmailed by her mother to pursue a master's degree in economics.
After graduating with a master's degree, she became Ye Jianglin's special assistant, handling company affairs and Ye Jianglin's private life.
A classic case of using a great talent for a small task.
That being said, as soon as the butler uttered those words, not only Yi Mu, but also Ye Jianglin and his wife's expressions changed.
The lady knew that the housekeeper was always strict in educating the children, but Yi Mu was twenty-four years old this year and was no longer a child.
Saying things that disregard a child's feelings is incredibly hurtful and damages their self-esteem.
The lady was gentle and didn't know how to speak harshly. She held back for a long time but couldn't utter a single word of condemnation.
Ye Jianglin put down his knife and fork, and the silver cutlery made a crisp clinking sound on the plate.
He glanced at the butler indifferently, his tone displeased.
"When Yi Mu wanted to move out, you wouldn't allow it. Now that he's living at home, are you expecting him to eat out?"
The housekeeper wasn't afraid of the madam in this household, but he was afraid of Ye Jianglin saying a harsh word.
Her arrogant expression softened, and she stammered, "Let him eat in the kitchen; it's not appropriate for him to eat with the host..."
The lady interrupted her.
“You and Yi Mu have been living at home for over twenty years, so you’re practically family to Jiang Lin and me.”
I've told you so many times to sit down and eat with me, but you just won't listen.
The housekeeper had nothing more to say; she still refused to sit down and eat with them, but she didn't try to stop Yi Mu any further.
Like his wife, Yi Mu enjoys Chinese dim sum, preferring sweet and savory flavors, with shrimp dumplings being his favorite.
The lady placed two pink shrimp dumplings in his bowl.
When the butler went elsewhere, the lady winked at him and comforted him, "That's just how your mother is, don't take it to heart."
Yi Mu smiled and nodded at her.
After finishing his breakfast, Ye Jianglin said to his mother, "Please enjoy your meal. I'm going to the company now."
There was still half a bowl of seafood porridge left in Yi Mu's bowl. He quickly picked it up and drank it, hurriedly said goodbye to his wife, and then chased after Ye Jianglin as he ran out.
Ye Jianglin opened the car door and had just sat down when he saw Yi Mu get in from the other side.
Before he left the table, he clearly saw that there was still half a bowl of porridge in Yi Mu's bowl.
Ye Jianglin: "There's no rush. You don't need to follow my pace next time."
Yi Mu smiled but didn't say anything.
As long as that nominal mother was around, the original owner's filial son persona forced Yi Mu to not do as he pleased.
However, things will get interesting when the story of this world progresses to the second half, and the original owner turns evil after learning the truth.
