After much hesitation, Ye Beichen still felt that he should tell his mother what Aunt Chen had told him today.
When Ye Boxian learned that his son had come to the company, he stopped what he was doing and went to his wife's office to find them.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw his wife and son sitting on the sofa with serious and suppressed expressions. He couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"
"Dad, I was talking to Mom about Jiang Xin. Today, Aunt Chen told me that Jiang Xin has been calling other people a lot lately to complain about Mom."
She said her mother was bullying her, that she was only unable to leave home, and that the Ye family treated her badly. Dad, Mom, even an outsider like Aunt Chen can see that Jiang Xin is an ungrateful person. Why should we continue to indulge her?
Yes, we're not short of money, and raising a daughter isn't a burden for us. But shouldn't we have a conscience?
She felt perfectly comfortable living like a pampered princess at home, and even went around telling everyone how unhappy she was. After a while, people who didn't know the real situation actually started to think we were mistreating her.
Ye Beichen said to his father in frustration.
Shu Yuqing appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was in turmoil. She never expected that the son who had been the most protective of Jiang Xin in her previous life would treat her so differently in this life.
The cookie that Jiang Xin loved in her past life was about to go bankrupt. Ye Beichen was afraid that his sister would not be able to eat the familiar taste again, so he bought the cookie factory overnight.
After Jiang Xin broke with her family, Ye Beichen secretly helped her behind their backs. Jiang Xin once told him not to bother her, but Ye Beichen couldn't bear to abandon her, fearing that she was not doing well at her boyfriend's house and was being mistreated.
Jiang Xin moved to her boyfriend's house. Ye Beichen felt sorry for her long commute to work, so he got up an hour earlier every day just to drive her to work.
Jiang Xin always acted superior to Ye Beichen, not only failing to express gratitude but also taking Ye Beichen's kindness for granted.
Jiang Xin knew that she was Ye Beichen's younger sister, the daughter whom the Ye family had doted on for over twenty years, and the Ye family couldn't bear to part with her.
In this life, her family has gained a Mingyue who is many times better than her, but she still did the same thing as in her previous life.
Jiang Xin has lost the favor and good fortune of her previous life, yet she is still so reckless; she is truly courting her own destruction.
"Yuqing, what do you think?"
Her husband's voice interrupted Shu Yuqing's recollection. She said calmly, "We can't break off the relationship when she turns 18. It won't sound good to others. Let's wait until she finishes university. But given her current grades, it's hard to say whether she can get into university. If she doesn't, then let's wait until she's 20."
Ye Boxian nodded in agreement: "Your suggestion is good. It would seem a bit heartless to sever ties right after someone comes of age. Let's wait a bit longer."
"She enjoys wealth and luxury, so why does she complain that her family treats her badly? She did something shameful, and her mother didn't say a word of reproach. How can she falsely accuse her mother out of thin air!"
Ye Beichen couldn't help but raise his voice, and then said, "Why is there such a big difference between people?"
Although he didn't mention a name, Shu Yuqing and Ye Boxian both knew he was referring to Mingyue.
Having experienced betrayal and hurt in her previous life, Shu Yuqing knew that Jiang Xin was inherently selfish and cold-hearted. She enjoyed the wealth and luxury of the Ye family, and if anything didn't go her way, she would say that she wasn't the Ye family's biological child, and that the Ye family treated children who weren't their own children differently.
Mingyue and Jiang Xin are completely opposite. Mingyue is sentimental, rational, and resolute, and she values her family even more.
When Mingyue was in elementary school, she would hug Shu Yuqing and Ye Boxian when they came home, and then sweetly say, "Mom and Dad, you've worked hard."
Shu Yuqing was resting at home with a fever. Mingyue would bring her tea and water, and would occasionally touch her forehead with her little hand to see if it was hot. She felt sorry for her and worried about her.
The two are treated equally, but one only knows how to take and the other knows how to be grateful and filial. It's obvious who is better and who is worse.
After returning home, Shu Yuqing asked about Jiang Xin's health and whether she should go back to school for tutoring.
Jiang Xin didn't speak, but pointed at Shu Yuqing with her eyes, her face full of resistance.
Shu Yuqing turned her head away and stopped looking at her. Instead, she went to the kitchen and instructed the servants to make white fungus soup for Mingyue.
Just as she finished her work, Jiang Xin rushed up to her: "Mom, I'm sick! I should be resting at home. How could you make me go to school for extra lessons at a time like this?"
Shu Yuqing remained silent, gazing at Jiang Xin quietly for a while before uttering a cold, clear voice: "Whatever you say."
Ye Beichen clenched his fists, trying his best to control his anger.
He really couldn't understand why Jiang Xin, a senior in high school, wasn't stressed at all and wasn't doing what she was supposed to do. Her classmates were working hard day and night, while she spent all her time talking about love and completely forgot what she was supposed to be doing.
Her mother kindly reminded her, but she actually thought her mother was unreasonable.
Jiang Xin was secretly pleased with herself, thinking that this was Shu Yuqing's concession, but little did she know that her family was extremely disappointed in her and had decided to give up on her as their daughter.
