Chapter 477 Learning to Take Responsibility for Oneself



She clung tightly to Rong Zhaonan's arm, trembling, and began to recount her conversation with He Su.

Every time she spoke unclearly or tried to hide something, Rong Zhaonan would release his grip on her arm.

Ye Dong was so frightened that he could no longer feel the pain of his shoulder being pulled. He desperately tried to explain his interactions with He Su in detail.

Ye Yuan stood to the side, his face turning pale and then green, unsure of who to sympathize with or what to say, all his confidence gone.

Even though Dongdong knew how badly He Su had harmed Zhaonan, how could she have so many private dealings with He Su!

Moreover, this foolish act of jumping off the building was instigated by He Su!

After telling everything, Ye Dong burst into tears, his face deathly pale: "...I've finished telling you, please, pull me up...I'll never do it again, I'll never do it again!"

Rong Zhaonan looked down at her and said, "Although your brother is no good, Dongdong, you are already seventeen years old. You should have a basic sense of right and wrong and be able to make judgments. You can learn these things at school."

His gaze was cold and dangerous: "But it's obvious you haven't learned to think that by feigning fear and dread, you can escape responsibility for your mistakes, is that it?"

Ye Dong clung tightly to his hand, crying and pleading, "I know I was wrong, I won't do it again! I'll never do it again!"

Rong Zhaonan said calmly, "Well, being willing to admit mistakes and take responsibility are good qualities. Since that's the case... then let's experience it properly."

As he spoke, he suddenly twisted his wrist and abruptly released his grip.

The acceleration due to gravity and the weightlessness of falling made Ye Dong's heart feel like it was being thrown into mid-air. She stared wide-eyed in disbelief—"Ahhh—!"

The girl's screams instantly echoed throughout the entire hospital.

Ye Yuan stared wide-eyed in disbelief, ignoring the pain in his body, and charged at Rong Zhaonan like a mad tiger: "Rong Zhaonan! I'm going to kill you!"

He actually threw Dongdong off the building right in front of him!

Chen Chen was startled, not expecting his captain to actually abandon the person. He then told Ye Yuan to bypass him and rush to Rong Zhaonan.

But the next moment—"Bang!"

Before Ye Yuan could even get close to Rong Zhaonan, Rong Zhaonan punched him in the face, sending him flying.

The glasses were smashed and fell to the ground.

He couldn't get up for a long time, his eyes red as he stared intently at Rong Zhaonan: "You..."

Ning Yuan instinctively rushed to the window in three quick steps, looked down, and saw a slender figure in a hospital gown lying on a huge air cushion.

Medical staff and Rong Zhaonan's people had already gone over to check on her condition.

After seeing the medical staff check the situation, they didn't seem to be in a hurry and didn't rush to bring an emergency stretcher. At most, the patient was frightened and suffered soft tissue contusions.

Ning Yuan finally relaxed a little, then turned to Rong Zhaonan with a speechless expression: "You... this is the method you said you could use to make Ye Dong tell the truth 100%?"

Isn't this a bit much...? If the Ye family investigates, he's afraid he won't be able to explain himself.

Rong Zhaonan slowly loosened his knuckles, his handsome eyes remaining unmoved as he spoke—

"Hmm, isn't this very efficient? The air cushion is the latest import from the Hong Kong government. The equipment of the Hong Kong Police's Special Duties Unit is indeed excellent and worth promoting. We should thank Young Master Ning."

Ning Yuan: "..."

What could she say? That person who subconsciously tolerated the Ye siblings was like a bubble of illusion.

There's a reason why Tai Sui is called Tai Sui; for example, its dangerous and crazy aura...

If you piss him off, he'll show you what it means to be ruthless and heartless.

Rong Zhaonan looked at her intently, then suddenly raised his hand and gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, whispering, "Don't worry, I would never do such a thing to you."

Ning Yuan unconsciously shuddered, her heart inexplicably beating faster.

At this moment, Rong Zhaonan turned around, squatted down in front of Ye Yuan, and looked at him coldly: "The one who should be thrown down is probably you, Ye Yuan, don't you think?"

Ye Yuan had already figured it out, and gritted his teeth, whispering, "Rong Zhaonan, don't go too far. Dongdong is just a young girl, even if she has..."

"You're the one who went too far, not Zhaonan!" An old voice came from outside the ward door.

Ning Yuan was taken aback and subconsciously looked towards the door.

A figure dressed in a dark green Zhongshan suit and carrying a cane slowly walked in, supported by his secretary.

The old man looked very old; his eyebrows and hair were completely white, he was tall, and his back was bent.

But the old man stood there, his demeanor gentle, his gaze deep as the sea, making people involuntarily straighten their bodies and dare not act rashly.

Ning Yuan had never seen the other person before, but her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously knew who the person standing in front of her was.

He was an elderly man who appeared in newspapers and legendary biographies.

"Grandpa..." Ye Yuan was stunned. He tried to get up, but gasped in pain.

His secretary immediately tried to help him up.

"You're not allowed to go. My Ye family's child is such a good-for-nothing. It's my fault for not teaching him well. If he can't get up, he should just lie there!" Old Master Ye said calmly.

Ye Yuan, his face pale, took a deep breath and struggled to his feet, leaning against the wall for support. He didn't dare to look at his grandfather.

Old Master Ye ignored him and looked at Rong Zhaonan. His gaze softened considerably, even carrying apology and helplessness: "Anan, my two little beasts have caused you trouble."

When Rong Zhaonan looked at Old Master Ye, the cold and ruthless aura that had been emanating from him earlier dissipated considerably.

He lowered his eyes: "Grandpa, Zhaonan was a bit reckless. He shouldn't have thrown Dongdong down. He's afraid it will frighten her."

Ning Yuan: "..."

It turns out that even a straight male dog can suddenly turn into a tea dog.

His words lacked sincerity and seemed superficial.

The old man looked stern and authoritative, but his scolding of the child was surprisingly down-to-earth. However, the way he looked at Rong Gouzi seemed to indicate regret that he wasn't his own son…

Grandpa Ye's face darkened: "She's been spoiled. She should learn a lesson she'll never forget. The moment she climbed onto the windowsill, she didn't think about what would happen to her family if something went wrong! She's willing to do anything to achieve her goals. Once she's recovered, I'll have someone send her away."

Ye Yuan was startled and looked at his grandfather, saying with a pained expression, "Grandpa, Dongdong is only seventeen and has never been far from home before..."

"She's only seventeen, and she's already spoiled rotten. These days, so many people are starving, yet she has the energy to act like this. She's nothing like the children of the Ye family!" Old Master Ye interrupted him coldly.

He looked at Ye Yuan with disappointed and cold eyes: "Dongdong is only seventeen, there is still room for her to be saved. What about you? How old are you? Is there still room for you to be saved?"

Ye Yuan froze; his grandfather had never looked at him like that before.

Old Master Ye said in a deep voice, "I have high expectations for your eldest brother and third brother, but you are the only one who has been frail and sickly since childhood, yet your academic performance is better than theirs."

“I always thought you could be a good engineer and contribute to the country’s development, but I never imagined that your poor health would lead to mental illness as well.”

Old Master Ye sat down and spoke slowly and calmly, but Ye Yuan felt extremely distressed.

Old Ye suddenly gave a self-deprecating laugh—

"It's also my fault. Your parents and uncles and aunts couldn't take care of you when you were young because of their work. Your eldest sister is a sensible person and helped take care of you all."

“That’s how we live these days, but we forgot that she was a child herself and spoiled you. In the end, it’s because I, your grandfather and your parents, have been incompetent and failed to raise you well.”

Ye Yuan gritted her teeth, her eyes reddening: "Grandpa... I just wish everything could be like it was when my eldest sister was alive!"

"Slap!" A slap landed on Ye Yuan's face; it was from the old man who suddenly stood up.

The old man's face turned pale when he suddenly stood up. His secretary exclaimed in surprise, "Sir! You can't suddenly get so agitated!"

"Grandpa!" Rong Zhaonan frowned and grabbed his arm to feel that the once tall old man was now just a skeleton with nothing under his clothes.

He felt a pang of sadness.

Looking at Ye Yuan, whose face had been slapped to the side, Old Master Ye grew increasingly disappointed: "Who doesn't want a family reunion? In the Wuhan University compound, from before 1949 until now, who hasn't lost their dearest loved ones? Don't you know why your parents dedicated their lives to the South China Sea and the Xisha Islands?"

He was furious, pointing at Ye Yuan: "You're just bored and have nothing better to do! You're the one who should be teaching in the mountains, not your older sister! Do you even have the demeanor of a man from the Ye family?!"
