These words made Xiao He lose face again. She was indeed not as worry-free as Ye Yifan, but she was doing it for Ye Yifan's own good, to make his business path smoother. The Chang family was indeed beneficial to Ye Yifan.
Thinking about this, she felt that she had done the right thing: "Your family can't find anyone capable of helping you. If you knew someone like the Chang family, I don't believe your parents wouldn't want someone to help you."
Hua Kai smiled and looked at Xiao He: "Auntie, you really don't understand me and Ye Yifan at all. We've already said that we really don't care about the Chang family, and they can't help us either, so please don't worry about it."
Xiao He was so angry at Hua Kai's words that her hands trembled. She looked at Ye Yifan and said, "Xiao Fan, did you hear that? She's just a country girl who doesn't know anything and only knows how to spout nonsense. You've seen the world, don't you know your own limitations? How can she be considered respectable in front of Tingting?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yifan's expression completely changed: "Chang Tingting is less than a clown compared to Kaikai. Mom, I really don't understand your thoughts anymore. I chose this business partner myself, and it's so bad to you? All these years, have you ever cared about what I should have done? When I got into university, you weren't satisfied with the major I chose, saying it was my grandfather's obsession. Do you know that it was something I liked and wanted to study? And when I went abroad, you disagreed, saying my grandfather was harming me. But do you know how much I gained after I came back from abroad? You know nothing, yet you keep saying you're doing it for my own good. But what good has it done for me?"
Xiao He swallowed hard, momentarily speechless, before finally saying, "I'm only taking care of you because I'm your mother. If I were an outsider, would I be able to take care of you?"
Ye Yifan said, "I need you to do what I need to do, but you don't do it. Instead, you try to stop me from doing what I should do. I really can't accept this kind of love."
At this moment, Chang Tingting found another point to interject: "Aunt Xiao, don't be angry with Brother Xiao Fan. I believe that this is not Brother Xiao Fan's intention. It must be instigated by outsiders. Brother Xiao Fan is not that kind of person."
Hua Kai looked at Chang Tingting and said, "Why don't you just say it directly? What's the point of beating around the bush like this? Do you think I have time to waste on this? I'd rather study hard and do business properly. Unlike you, I don't like these crooked and unethical things."
Ye Yifan said to Chang Tingting without any mercy, "I roughly understand what your family and my mother mean, but I get annoyed just looking at you, so if there's nothing else, don't hang around in front of me anymore."
Chang Tingting was so embarrassed she was about to cry: "Brother Xiao Fan, how could you do this to me? I do like you, but is it wrong to like someone?"
Ye Yifan said, "There is absolutely no connection or possibility between us. Have some self-respect." After saying that, he turned to Xiao He and said, "Mom, if we're talking about Chang Tingting, then let's skip it. Is there anything else? If not, Kai Kai and I have other things to do, so we'll be leaving now."
Xiao He wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't. It wasn't until Ye Yifan and Hua Kai reached the door that she said to Ye Yifan, "Xiao Fan, I know you hate your mother, but I am your mother. Can't we talk to each other calmly?"
Ye Yifan turned to look at Xiao He: "I want to talk to you calmly, but have you really considered my feelings? What you're saying is all things I can't accept, why should I listen to you?"
Xiao He said, "Because I'm your mother, I'm doing this all for your own good."
Hua Kai couldn't stand it anymore and said to Xiao He, "Auntie, Ye Yifan did nothing wrong, yet he carries so much burden. Isn't he pitiful? Why should a mother give her love to her enemy and make him keep compromising? Why should he?"
Xiao He also knew who Hua Kai's enemy was, but she still believed that Fang Lanlan was right.
She said to the flowers, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. What enemy? Lanlan is innocent too. Back then, it was all Lanlan's aunt's fault. Even if Lanlan's parents were at fault, Lanlan was also a victim. She didn't know anything. I said, just consider Lanlan as an adopted child. Can't Xiaofan tolerate a little sister?"
Hua Kai waited for Xiao He, her eyes blazing with anger: "Auntie, do you know what Ye Yifan's life was like in the Fang family? Because the Fang family knew Ye Yifan wasn't their biological son, how could they possibly treat him well? While your son was suffering there, you doted on Fang Lanlan. Ye Yifan should have grown up in a healthy environment, but he lacked all the love. You gave all that love to Fang Lanlan. He came back thinking he could return to his original life, but now his original life has gained an enemy. Don't say Fang Lanlan is innocent. Even if she is innocent, she still enjoyed the love that should have belonged to Ye Yifan. If she had any conscience, she should have returned to her original position when Ye Yifan came back. After all, the Fang family is her root. How many times has she gone back to see her biological parents all these years? She doesn't even care about her own parents. What kind of person is she? And you say Ye Yifan is immature? As an outsider, I really can't stand it anymore. I also understand why Grandpa Ye let Yifan live with him. If he lived with you, Ye Yifan would probably have died of resentment long ago."
Ye Yifan thought this in his heart, but he had never said it aloud, nor could he say it out loud. Now that Hua Kai had said it, he felt much clearer-headed.
Of course, these words evoked different feelings in Xiao He, both outwardly and inwardly, because she had never thought about these things from this perspective before.
But she still defended Fang Lanlan in her heart: "Lanlan grew up by my side since she was little, so it's normal that she's not close to her biological parents. You can't say that about her."
Upon hearing this, Hua Kai laughed immediately: "Auntie, do you have to be so protective of Fang Lanlan? You yourself said that it's normal for someone who grew up with you not to be close to her biological parents. So why do you demand that Ye Yifan be close to you? What feelings have you ever had for him? Before he was thirteen, he suffered in his adoptive parents' home. After going through countless hardships to return, he was taken over by someone else, and in the end, he could only live with his grandfather. How many days did you raise him? How many meals did you cook for him? Do you know what he likes to eat? How many sweaters did you knit for him? Did you pick him up from school? Did you check his homework? Did you attend his parent-teacher conferences? When he was bullied, what did you do for him? Ask yourself how much you have given before demanding anything in return. Don't think that giving birth to him is an act of kindness. You didn't get his consent when you gave birth to him. Giving birth means taking responsibility. Even animals understand this. If you don't even have basic parental responsibilities, what right do you have to demand anything from your child?"
Xiao He fell silent after Hua Kai asked her questions. She really knew too little about Ye Yifan, and she was indeed missing the answers to all of Hua Kai's questions.
