“I won’t harm you. You have to listen to me and marry Yu Miao!” Lin Ya changed into a loving mother and said earnestly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Chang stood up with a regretful expression. “I lost the girl 1 liked because I listened to you too much.”
“You said that Yu Miao is the youngest daughter that the Yu family dotes on and asked me to take care of her a little. 1 listened to you. You said that you don’t like Yu Su, so I restrained myself from bringing her back to this house. I also tried my best to meet her in private and didn’t publicize my relationship with her. What else do you want now?”
He kicked all the bottles on the ground. “Although I’m not your biological son, I really treat you as my mother. What about you? What do you treat me as? A son or an obedient dog?”
Ye Chang’s face was filled with pain. “1’11 do whatever you want me to do, but I can’t give up on Yu Su.”
Ye Chang’s heart ached uncontrollably at the thought of the girl who had been looking at him since he was young suddenly abandoning him one day.
Previously, he had his own selfish motives for helping the Yu family target Yu Su. He wanted Yu Su to leave the industry and return to his side. He wanted Yu Su to be by his side alone.
He did not want others to see such a dazzling Yu Su, and he hated to see her acting with other men. He only wanted to imprison her by his side as his canary.
Unfortunately, he had underestimated the tenacity in her bones and her determination to make a name for herself.
Lin Ya understood her stepson’s temper. She knew that he had already made up his mind and would not change it easily. Thinking of her many years of planning, no matter how angry she was, she could only suppress it.
“I was too worried about your future and neglected your true feelings.” Lin Ya put on a self-reproaching expression.
“I’m sorry. Previously, I thought that you were acting on impulse. In the future, I won’t interfere in your and Yu Su’s matters anymore. However, Yu Miao is indeed a kind and good girl. 1 still hope that you won’t blame her for this. After all, everything was caused by my arbitrary decision. It has nothing to do with her.”
Hearing Lin Ya’s obvious flattery, Ye Chang slowly calmed down. “This isn’t your and Yu Miao’s fault. It’s my fault for not being able to control the balance. You… don’t have to blame yourself and worry.”
Ye Chang did not know what day it was today. He had just sent his stepmother out in the morning when his father came at night.
“Drinking won’t solve anything.” Ye Wen frowned and looked at his son, who was emitting a dispirited aura. “How have 1 taught you since you were young? You were born into a rich family. You were already in a game since you were born. Everything you had experienced is your fate. You can’t escape it.” Looking at his father, Ye Chang chuckled. “You’ve left me with Grandpa since I was young. Other than Grandpa, I’m afraid only Mother has cared about me. Father, how can you have the cheek to say such a thing?”
Ye Wen knew that the “mother” his son was referring to was Lin Ya, his stepmother. He was relieved that his lover had obtained his son’s approval.
Ye Wen said calmly, “There’s no need for you to point the finger at me. This matter is completely your own problem. You can’t have both the fish and the bear paw. You want to listen to your mother but don’t want to lose Yu Su because of this. Aren’t you a little too greedy?”
Ye Chang smiled contemptuously. “Why didn’t you remember this saying when you married Mother?”
Ye Wen’s eyes darkened. “I’m different from you. I’ve never been like you. In order to achieve my goal, I’ve never attacked the person 1 like.”
Ye Chang’s heart was pierced by his father’s words. His pupils instantly constricted. “Then what do you think 1 can do?”
“What’s the use of regretting your previous scheme?” Ye Wen continued to add fuel to the fire. “You’ll only make others hate you more and more.”
Ye Chang smiled bitterly and said, “If there was a more effective way, why would I do this?”
“Helping her when she needs it the most is better than anything else.” Ye Wen patted his shoulder and instructed the servants at home to make some sobering food for him.
Ye Chang looked at Ye Wen, who was about to leave, and asked, “Father, are you… not asking me to marry Yu Miao?”
