Ye Shuping, who had just returned from the garden and entered the living room, stared at the two of them speechlessly, her eyes wide open.
She had never seen Cheng Yi so rebellious, as if... she had no feelings for them at all.
Her husband, his face filled with grief, looked as if his heart had been struck, and the wrinkles on his not-so-old face deepened.
This is her daughter!
How could she say such a thing?!
Ye Shuping walked in and said, "Xiaoyi, how could you talk to your father like that? Apologize to him right now!"
Cheng Yi felt a pang of regret, but Ye Shuping's intervention at this moment only fueled her rebellious spirit. She stubbornly refused to back down, turning her face away and speaking in a stiff and cold tone: "I did not say anything wrong, I will not apologize."
Cheng Yue sighed deeply: "Forget it, you're too old for me to control you. Do whatever you want."
Upon hearing this, Ye Shuping realized that Cheng Yue meant he was going to give up on his daughter. She panicked and quickly tried to mediate: "Old Cheng, Xiaoyi is young and doesn't understand. Don't take what she said to heart."
Cheng Yue shook his head, put down the newspaper, and turned to go back to his room.
He had taken Cheng Yi back from the He family and treated her perfectly, giving her everything she wanted and nurturing her with all his heart. Yet, she couldn't understand his good intentions at all, threatening to sever ties whenever she wanted, and showing no concern for him as her father.
Indeed, he couldn't let go of He Jing, couldn't let go of the fake daughter he had raised for more than ten years, but in order to take care of her feelings, he never mentioned it in front of her, and tried his best to restrain himself from paying attention to it. But she still secretly compared herself to him, and he didn't know what to do.
As for her desire to stay in the entertainment industry...
Let's just wait.
Not taking action against Orange Heart Entertainment was the last thing he did for her.
It wasn't until Cheng Yue was out of her sight that Cheng Yi gradually came to her senses. She realized that she had made a lot of mistakes in her moment of impulsiveness and hurriedly chased after him.
"dad."
But Cheng Yue had already closed the door and didn't want to listen to her anymore.
Cheng Yi stood at the doorway, turning to look helplessly at Ye Shuping. Ye Shuping sighed, "How could you say such a thing to your father? Even if he was wrong, he's still your father."
Cheng Yi burst into tears, wiping them away as she cried out in grievance, "Mom, do you know how hard it is for me to make it in the entertainment industry? How could he just take everything away from me like that? I was just feeling down lately, so I couldn't hold back. I'm so heartbroken..."
Ye Shuping hugged her daughter with a soft heart and sighed, "If your father hadn't become increasingly powerless in his work, he wouldn't be like this. You should be more understanding of him."
Cheng Yi suddenly froze, and hurriedly grabbed Ye Shuping's hand, saying, "Mom, is there a problem with the company? Or is it facing some kind of crisis?"
Ye Shuping shook her head: "There's nothing much going on at the company, but your dad is getting old, and it's hard for him to keep up with working every day. There's no one in the family to help him take over, so he has to do it himself. At first, your dad wanted He Jing to take over the company, so even though He Jing liked humanities, he made her study science. Later, he got involved with the Yan family, planning to have his future son-in-law help him out. But then you and He Jing were switched at birth, and the engagement with the Yan family fell through."
In short, exchanging Cheng Yi for Cheng Yue wasn't a good decision for the Cheng family, but Cheng Yue still agreed.
Over the years, Cheng Yue had seen how he treated Cheng Yi, and she also knew about how he had secretly helped Cheng Yi build connections in the entertainment industry. It was clear that his fatherly love was as solid as a mountain.
