On the way back, Ye Beichen's mind was in turmoil, and he thought about many things.
The two younger sisters in the family are worlds apart. Jiang Xin is still living the life of a pampered young lady at home, while Mingyue is working while wearing a heavy mascot costume, risking heatstroke.
Jiang Xin lived a life of luxury in the Ye family, yet she still complained to outsiders that her mother treated her badly. He couldn't see why his mother treated her badly, and at this moment, he felt deeply sorry for his mother.
Jiang Xin is not worthy of the Ye family's sacrifices for her.
Ye Beichen turned the car around and went straight to the company.
Mingyue is so much younger than me, yet she knows to use her summer vacation to work and buy gifts for her parents. I should also take on my responsibilities.
She was somewhat surprised to see her son, Shu Yuqing, at the company. In her previous life, her son had accused her of interfering in his life and forcing him to give up his hobbies.
Having been given a second chance at life, Shu Yuqing has come to terms with it and will let her son do whatever he likes.
Therefore, in this life, Shu Yuqing did not force Ye Beichen to take over the company. She wanted her son to be happy and did not want him to repeat the depression of his previous life.
"Mom, I want to intern at the company so I can get started as soon as possible." Ye Beichen was a little embarrassed. He had originally planned to travel to another city with his classmates, but Mingyue had a great impact on him today, and he felt that he should mature.
Looking closely at Shu Yuqing, Ye Beichen was surprised to realize that his mother bore many marks left by the years.
Ye Beichen felt a pang of sadness as he noticed some gray hairs at his mother's temples and wrinkles around her eyes. He realized that his mother had grown old without him noticing, while he had been preoccupied with having fun and neglecting his parents' hard work.
Ye Beichen felt ashamed; he had almost become like Jiang Xin.
He enjoyed everything his parents gave him, but never thought about how to repay their kindness in raising him.
Shu Yuqing was shocked: "Didn't you say you didn't like doing business? It's okay, do whatever you want, Mom will support you, and Dad and Mom won't force you to take over the company."
His mother's words brought tears to Ye Beichen's eyes. He took a few deep breaths, held back the tears in his eyes, and smiled, "Mom, Dad and I have worked so hard all these years. Don't worry, I will try my best."
Her son's words struck Shu Yuqing's heart. In her previous life, Ye Beichen had never said these words to her. Like Jiang Xin, he resented her strictness and hated her domineering and forceful nature.
The two children completely denied all her efforts and hard work for them; they were like vengeful ghosts, their words filled with condemnation of her.
Unexpectedly, she can now hear her son say to her, "You've worked hard."
Those few words pierced through Shu Yuqing's thick armor, leaving her utterly defeated.
Ye Beichen, whose gaze had been fixed on his mother, felt even more ashamed upon seeing her moved expression.
He stepped forward and hugged his mother: "Mom, I was immature before, please don't hold it against me. Chenguang is not only your and Dad's hard work, but also my responsibility. I was too selfish before, only thinking about myself, I won't do it again."
Shu Yuqing patted his arm with satisfaction and said happily, "Bei Chen, you've grown up. Your parents are getting old, so we'll be entrusting Chenguang to you from now on."
The two talked about company matters for a while, and Ye Beichen thought about it and decided to tell his mother about Mingyue.
"Mom, I went to see Mingyue at her workplace today. She wasn't handing out flyers; she was working outdoors wearing a thick mascot costume."
"What?!" Even the usually composed Shu Yuqing couldn't maintain her usual calm.
Shu Yuqing got up, grabbed her bag, and was about to leave when Ye Beichen quickly stopped her: "Mom, don't go. I can tell she's very happy. Even though she's sweating profusely, she hasn't complained once."
Ye Beichen's words calmed her down. Mingyue had never lacked money since she was a child, and now she was going out to work to train herself. Since the child was willing to challenge herself, she should support her.
“I only realized it when I saw Mingyue. She’s only 16 years old, and she already knows how to buy you gifts through her own hard work. I’m the older brother, how can I be worse than my sister?”
Ye Beichen looked somewhat flustered when he said this.
Shu Yuqing then understood why her son had suddenly come to his senses; it turned out he had been provoked by his sister.
She said to Ye Beichen seriously, "Mom doesn't ask you to do these things. As your parents, it's only right that we provide you with a comfortable life. Your father and I have never thought about asking you to repay us."
We are no different from other parents in the world; our only wish is for you children to have a good life.
You're all grown up now, and there are some things you should know. You know that Mingyue's biological father was a policeman. He was an anti-drug officer who died in an operation.
Mingyue aspires to be a police officer. Although your father and I don't entirely agree, we support and respect her decision. So, her going out to work in this weather is probably preparation for becoming a police officer. After all, flowers grown in a greenhouse can't withstand the ravages of a rainstorm.
Shu Yuqing's words surprised Ye Beichen. He didn't expect his younger sister's background to be so secretive, nor did he expect her to be so tenacious, enduring so much hardship just to fulfill her dream.
Thinking of Jiang Xin, who stayed at home in air conditioning and only knew about romance all day, Ye Beichen's feelings became even more complicated.
