Chapter 39 Ye Zhen, I shouldn't have given birth to you in the first place.
When Ye Zhen saw the word "mother," her heart ached uncontrollably.
If her brothers in her past life were biased towards Ye Zhenzhu, then her parents bear an undeniable responsibility.
Because all of this was approved by my parents.
She now wishes she hadn't been born to them.
He Hanjing naturally saw the caller ID on Ye Zhen's phone. He frowned. Since Ye Zhen was having such a hard time, it meant that her parents were spoiling her.
The next second, he reached out and snatched Ye Zhen's phone away.
Ye Zhen looked over, and he said calmly, "Let's eat."
Ye Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and naturally didn't look at her ringing phone, nor did she want to answer it now.
After all, she didn't need to guess what her mother wanted to say when she called.
She was in a good mood right now and didn't want the Ye family to ruin it.
Ye Zhen took a bite of the fish and exclaimed in amazement, "It's so delicious!"
I never expected that this man, who looks so otherworldly, could actually cook, and cook such delicious food!
Indeed, appearances can be deceiving.
"This whole plate is yours."
A smile played in He Hanjing's eyes. It seemed that no matter how much time had passed, even if she had forgotten the past, she still liked to eat fish with this flavor.
Ye Zhen accidentally ate too much.
She said a little shyly, "This is the best fish I've ever eaten."
He Hanjing calmly handed her a tissue: "Thank you for your feedback."
"How did you learn to cook? Was it self-taught, or is it a hobby?"
Ye Zhen was genuinely curious.
The man in front of her thought for a moment before answering, "I learned it myself because other people's fish dishes don't taste good."
His tone was calm, yet still carried a hint of arrogance.
Ye Zhen thought he was a bit picky about food, which was why he complained that other people's fish dishes were not good, and then he was forced to cook for himself.
Ye Zhen nodded: "But the fish you made was really delicious. Indeed, smart people excel at everything they do."
He Hanjing saw the smile in her eyes and seemed to have forgotten his unhappiness from the day.
Sure enough, delicious food helps her forget unpleasant things.
He glanced at the time: "Let's go, it's getting late. I'll take you home."
"No need, I'll just take the subway back."
Ye Zhen saw the man in front of her stand up. Did he want to see her off?
Why is he so good to her?
Does he have ulterior motives towards me?
While Ye Zhen hesitated, her phone received a transfer message with the note: "Transportation subsidy".
He Hanjing calmly held his phone and said, "Take a taxi back. The company provides transportation subsidies."
Ye Zhen glanced at the transfer and immediately felt guilty for her dark thoughts.
How could she make such assumptions about others?
I just ate two big bowls of rice from someone else.
Seeing her lowered head and guilty expression, He Hanjing guessed what she was thinking. It was really easy to guess.
It's a good thing that the little girl is so vigilant.
He said casually, "Send me a message when you get home."
"good."
Ye Zhen grabbed her schoolbag, turned around, and ran away.
She ran out onto the street, which was a bustling area, and there were many people out strolling and walking around.
The scorching summer wind outside made the heat on her face seem less noticeable.
After getting into the taxi, Ye Zhen calmed down a little by turning on the air conditioning.
Half an hour later, Ye Zhen returned to the Ye family villa.
As soon as she stepped into this place, she felt her whole body tense up and she could hardly breathe.
She glanced at the living room; the lights seemed dim, and it appeared no one was home.
My mother called her during dinner, which is unusual for her.
This suggests that Ye Chengbei's parents probably already know that he lost the basketball game and is no longer eligible for Yunjing University.
Even a fool would know that they're probably trying to shift the blame onto her again.
I really can't stay in this house for even a day longer.
Ye Zhen took a deep breath and mentally prepared herself before entering the hall.
She never imagined that she would feel such physical disgust towards her family.
The lights suddenly turned on the moment Ye Zhen stepped into the living room.
Ye Zhen subconsciously reached out to cover her face, and vaguely saw someone sitting on the sofa.
So that's where she was waiting.
After Ye Zhen adjusted to the living room lighting, she put her hand down and saw a very fashionable lady walking angrily toward her.
Before Ye Zhen could say anything, she received another slap on the cheek.
Zhao Wanru pointed at her nose angrily: "How could I have such an inconsiderate daughter like you? You actually caused your brother to be unable to get into Yunjing University through a recommendation program. You ruined his future. What good does that do you?"
Ye Zhen turned her face slightly to the side.
At that moment, she thought to herself, "Luckily, it was the other side of my face that got slapped, otherwise I'd probably have to go to school with a pig's face tomorrow."
She was not at all surprised to hear Ms. Zhao Wanru's angry words.
After all, in her past life, no matter what happened, it was always her fault.
"Ye Zhen, what kind of attitude is this? Are you acting like you're wronged?"
Zhao Wanru pointed at Ye Zhen's face: "Turn your head around, what are you pretending for?"
Ye Zhen slowly turned her head to look at her, her eyes dark and expressionless, without any emotional fluctuation.
Zhao Wanru met those eyes and was momentarily stunned. Those eyes seemed to belong to a weathered old man, not a teenage girl.
Ye Zhen twitched the corner of her mouth: "So, what crime are you trying to pin on me this time?"
"I'm framing you? You still won't admit it now? I know the whole story. You're the one who caused your fourth brother to lose the competition and not get into Yunjing University. What else do you have to say?"
Ye Zhen scoffed, "So what they're saying is the truth? Are they judges? They just open their mouths and convict me?"
"Does your older brother think he'd take sides with someone else?"
Zhao Wanru rubbed her temples in anger: "No wonder your older brother said he can't control you anymore. Your temper is getting worse and worse, and you have no manners at all!"
Ha, manners?
Ye Zhen's eyes reddened slightly: "Then did you raise me? All these years, you've been raising someone else's daughter!"
"You dare talk back!"
Zhao Wanru raised her hand again to hit Ye Zhen, but this time Ye Zhen grabbed Zhao Wanru's wrist.
Ye Zhen said coldly, "What I said is the truth."
"Let go, and you still dare to resist? Aren't I teaching you now? Look at yourself, if you were even half as sensible as Pearl, none of this would have happened."
Zhao Wanru was furious. Why was Ye Zhen so disobedient, even though they were both her daughters?
Ye Zhen shoved Zhao Wanru away: "If you think she's so good, why did you bring me back in the first place? If you think I'm not presentable, why did you acknowledge me as your wife?"
Ye Zhen never understood.
Why do the parents she has always longed for not care about her or love her at all?
Was it because she didn't do a good enough job?
In her past life, she tried so hard to please everyone in the Ye family, she was so humble, but what did she end up with?
"If I had known you were like this, I shouldn't have taken you in in the first place!"
