Chapter 631 Complaints
Everyone was speechless.
Finally, Yin Bin chuckled and tried to smooth things over. “Look at what this child said.”
Yin Bin no longer looked at Cheng Che. Instead, he looked at Jiang Jin and said, “Auntie Jiang, to be honest, there were really some problems at home back then. At that time, my status in the family was almost non-existent, and I really didn’t have the time to take care of my son. You’re my mother’s best friend so I’m sure you’re aware of many things. My mother ran away from home in a fit of anger because of my father’s affairs with my stepmother. She even brought my wife away…”
Yin Bin glanced at Guan Ning before he continued to say, “My wife, at that time, was Yin Jian and Cheng Che’s mother. Back then, she left so she could persuade my mother to come home. Who knew she would give birth prematurely? You might not be aware of this, but after my mother left, my stepmother came. She even brought her children with her and claimed that they were my younger brother and sister. That naturally threatened the interest of our family. Since my mother was not home, who was going to fight for
me?”
“At that time, I could only turn to the elders. My stepmother was really dramatic. She would make a fuss, cry, and threaten to hang herself three times a day. I’ve never seen such a shameless woman. In order to enter our family, she really spared no efforts. Not only did she want to enter our family, but she even wanted our family to admit the two bast*rds as members of our Yin family. You don’t know how difficult it was for me that year.”
Yin Bin continued to complain, “I was a grown man. I had to take care of the company, and I also had to take care of my five-year-old daughter at that time. On top of that, I also had to stop my stepmother from kicking us out of the family.” He spread his arms and said, “I had no other choice but to grit my teeth and endure. It was thanks to the elders in our family that I was able to keep my position as the eldest son from the legal wife of the Yin family. With all those things, I truly had no time to care about my mother and my wife. When things finally stabilized, I found out that Cheng Che’s mother had already… had already…”
Yin Bin did not finish his words. Instead, he rubbed his face and sighed. “Her life was too bitter. She was an orphan raised by my mother. She was very docile and virtuous. I didn’t expect that she wouldn’t be able to enjoy the slightest bit of happiness after marrying me. I’ve let her down.”
Yin Bin let out another long sigh before he said again, “Although my wife was no longer around, I still had a young daughter. She couldn’t do without a mother, after all. I also couldn’t do without the support of my mother against my stepmother. For various reasons, I married my current wife, Guan Ning. Auntie Jiang, you see, I had a tough time in the
past.”
Jiang Jin nodded but did not say anything. This was the Yin family’s affairs. It was inappropriate for her to comment, and she did not want to embarra.s.s Yin Bin. No matter what, he was Cheng Che’s father, and she felt she did not have the right to criticize Yin Bin’s treatment of Cheng Che.
However, Song Ning did not have such qualms. She said, “President Yin, it really hasn’t been easy for you.” Yin Bin nodded immediately and sighed. “Isn’t that so? Now that I think about it again, it was really too difficult at that time. However, it did come to an end. My stepmother and her two children did not stop trying to bring me down. They always coveted my position. When Cheng Che was 18, I failed in an investment so she used it against me. She tried to use that to force me to give up my position and leave the Yin family.”
“Fortunately, my wife’s family supported me, giving me enough strength to contend with them. That’s how I was able to keep my position. At that time, you sent people to inform me about Cheng Che, and I said all those words to you.”
Finally, Yin Bin faced Cheng Che after he was done with his explanation and said with a sigh, “Cheng Che, you have to understand me. How could I not want you if I truly had a choice?”
