Chapter 751: You're really getting senile.
Ye Jingyao pursed his lips and said, "The Holy Church is questioning why the Ye family would take in Ye Fei, who has demon blood... Father, what should we do?"
Ye Rui didn't speak, but picked up the teacup on the table and silently drank the tea.
Ye Jingyao watched his father's every move, seeing him calmly sipping his tea, and grew increasingly anxious: "Father, please think of a solution! If this continues, the Ye family's reputation will be in jeopardy!"
What's the rush?
Ye Rui glanced at Ye Jingyao with a cool look in his eyes, "The more anxious you seem, the more leverage the Holy Church will have against you."
"But this matter is indeed related to the Ye family!" Ye Jingyao couldn't help but raise his voice, "Excuse me for speaking frankly, if it weren't for Father insisting on keeping that bastard Ye Fei back then..."
"Fei'er is your child, she has your blood flowing in her veins, don't you care about her at all?" Ye Rui interrupted him coldly.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingyao's eyes flashed with disgust: "Care about her? Jiang Xun is a demon! She concealed her identity and married me, which resulted in Ye Fei, a half-human, half-demon! How do you expect me to forgive her?!"
“Jiang Xun concealed his identity and wronged the Ye family, but no matter what, Fei’er is innocent. You shouldn’t call your own daughter an illegitimate child.” Ye Rui said calmly.
Ye Jingyao stared at Ye Rui's face, then suddenly seemed to understand something, and said quietly, "Father, do you have any intention of bringing Ye Fei back to the Ye family?"
Ye Rui narrowed his eyes: "Why do you say that?"
"Your public claim that you've banished Ye Fei is just a pretense. You only want Ye Fei to temporarily leave the troublesome Ye family. In reality, you've set your sights on her dual spiritual roots and plan to secretly bring her back when the time is right..."
Ye Rui raised an eyebrow, and the study fell silent for a moment, utterly still.
After a long while, Ye Rui sighed, "Jing Yao, I did want Fei'er to stay in the Ye family before. She has dual spiritual roots and is very promising. I don't want to waste her talent."
"If it weren't for that thorn, Xiao Fei's half-human, half-demon identity would have remained a secret forever, known only to you and me... But an accident happened at this time, and we had no choice but to watch helplessly as a genius who could have made the Ye Clan shine slipped away."
Ye Rui paused for a few seconds, then raised his eyelids, his gaze fixed on the expressionless Ye Jingyao: "Jingyao, sometimes family interests are far more important than personal grudges. I know you can't forgive Jiang Xun for hiding things from you, but Xiao Fei can't decide her own identity either. She wasn't born wanting to be half-human, half-demon. You've targeted her at every turn, even trying to kill her. Isn't she truly innocent?"
Ye Jingyao sneered: "So, I should relay your words to the Holy Church?"
Ye Rui remained silent.
"The Holy Church is arrogant and domineering; who in the world doesn't know that? You say I'm targeting Ye Fei at every turn, but aren't you also showing her mercy at every turn? You're making decisions that will destroy the Ye family!"
Ye Jingyao gritted his teeth and spat out a sentence: "Father, you're really getting senile!"
He was furious, turned around and walked out of the study with a flick of his sleeve.
Ye Rui lowered his eyes and sighed inwardly.
Little Fei'er, you complain that Grandpa only cares about the family's interests and doesn't value you and your mother. Now, Grandpa is giving you back your freedom—the world is vast, go as far as you can.
Ideally, go somewhere where no one knows you exist.
Ye Rui was deep in thought with his head down, so he didn't see the strange dark glint that flashed quickly in Ye Jingyao's eyes as he turned and walked away.
