Chapter 1954: Biased
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A father knew his daughter best.
Ye Qingqiu didn’t say anything, and Ye Jianyun didn’t intend to hear any other answers from her.
He stared at Ye Qingqiu and pondered for a while before saying slowly, “When school starts again, you’ll be in your third year. That kid should be in his second year.”
“Yeah.”
There was still a year left. She couldn’t skip Year Three anymore.
!!
No matter how hard she tried, she could only shorten the gap by a year.
At least they had two more years to spend together.
“He’s a boy after all. He shouldn’t be so idle during the summer break.”
Ye Qingqiu didn’t understand what Ye Jianyun meant. She looked up at him in confusion.
“What do you mean by doing nothing?”
“He has a lot of responsibilities in the future. He’s not young anymore. We have to let him learn how to run the company.”
Ye Qingqiu was stunned for a moment before a smile appeared in her eyes.
“Then I want it too.”
Ye Jianyun looked at her mockingly. “I didn’t see you being interested in the company before.”
Ye Qingqiu nodded without hiding anything. “Yes, I’m only interested in Li Tingshen.”
“Shameless.”
—
Ye Jianyun called Lian Lili.
Although she didn’t understand, she knew that Lian Lili had refused to let Li Tingshen come into contact with the company.
Hence, he couldn’t be bothered to beat around the bush. As long as Lian Lili agreed, he believed that there was no problem with Li Tingshen.
“Let Tingshen start managing the company this summer?”
“It’s not management, it’s contact. I don’t think a smart person will manage a company as soon as he takes over. Managing a company isn’t child’s play. It’s time for him to interact.”
Lian Lili was silent for a while. “Can’t we wait another two years? At his age, he should enjoy university life without any worries…”
Ye Jianyun laughed and said, “I don’t know what you’re thinking, but this reason is definitely not your real reason. At this age, Tingshen is no longer qualified to talk about enjoying university life without worries. If this continues…”
Ye Jianyun didn’t hide anything. “This child is crippled.”
These words made Lian Lili’s face darken.
She was silent for a long time.
“I think no matter what your reason is, it won’t be more important than Tingshen’s life. I can’t control the Li Corporation for long, just like how I can’t control the Ye family for the rest of my life. Leave Tingshen to me while I still have the energy.”
Lian Lili tightened her grip on her phone. “Leave it to you? Ye Jianyun, are you pitying us or for something else?”
Ye Jianyun frowned. “No matter what, it won’t do any harm to Tingshen.”
The person on the other end of the line was silent for a second before he smiled. “That’s true. You’re right. Alright, I’ll hand Tingshen over to you. Sorry to trouble you.”
Ye Jianyun hung up and called Li Tingshen.
Li Tingshen had long thought of contacting the company.
He didn’t hesitate to call Ye Jianyun.
Ye Jianyun knew the Li family’s company like the back of his hand. Li Tingshen had never rejected someone who had learned from him.
“Okay, I’ve already informed your mother. You’ll be at the company tomorrow.”
There hadn’t been two calls in ten minutes.
Ye Qingqiu’s eyes were filled with tears. “He agreed?”
Ye Jianyun nodded. “As expected.”
Ye Qingqiu’s face was full of joy.
“Then I want to go tomorrow.”
Ye Jianyun glanced at her. “You’ll only cause trouble there! I asked him to go to the company to study, not to play around. Do you think he has the time to bother with you?”
Ye Qingqiu didn’t like hearing this. “No matter what, it’s his first time at the company tomorrow. I definitely can’t be absent. At most… I can do it tomorrow!”
Ye Jianyun shook her head helplessly, but she didn’t refuse.
Not long after, there was a movement on the stairs and Liang Xuer rushed down.
She gripped the expensive and high-end dress tightly with both hands. Her eyes were red and filled with l.u.s.t.
She looked at Ye Qingqiu and asked, “Li Tingshen is going to study in the company during the holidays?”
Ye Qingqiu couldn’t be bothered with her.
Liang Xuer s.h.i.+fted her gaze to Ye Jianyun. “Did you arrange this?”
Ye Jianyun pursed her lips and nodded. “Yes.”
Liang Xuer staggered. Tears welled up in her eyes and her lips trembled.
“You’re doing this on purpose, right? You all know that I’m going to skip a grade. He wants to tutor me during this holiday?!”
Ye Jianyun’s eyebrows twitched. “I’ve thought about that. There will be the best tutor for you tomorrow.”
“Why?” Liang Xuer suddenly said, “Did I threaten Ye Qingqiu by being with her for a holiday? Is that why you want to use this method to stop her?”
Just as she finished speaking, a pillow fell from her head.
Then, Ye Qingqiu stood up abruptly.
“Liang Xuer, don’t think too highly of yourself! Are you threatening me? It’s true that I don’t want Lisheng to be with you, but you have to understand that it’s not that you’re threatening me, but I don’t want him to have any contact with any woman, not even a female beast, understand?”
“Where did you get the confidence to think that after being with him for a holiday, the two of you can be together forever? Even if you’re given a holiday, what can the outcome change?”
“Besides, why should I? Don’t be too selfish. Isn’t it more important for him to take over the company and take revenge than to tutor you personally?”
Liang Xuer let the pillow hit the ground. With her messy hair, she looked at Ye Qingqiu with bloodshot eyes.
“Selfish? Ye Qingqiu, you’re the one who has the least right to say that you’re selfis.h.!.+ Which thing of yours doesn’t have a motive? Which thing of yours doesn’t only care about your own interests?”
“Indeed, everything I do is for myself. I might not have the right to criticize others, but you’re the only one who doesn’t act n.o.ble in front of me. No matter how selfish I am, I won’t ignore the wounds on his body just to be with him for a holiday.”
Liang Xuer’s eyes flashed.
She bit her lip tightly.
“He didn’t let me touch him…”
“So, what else do you want to say?” Ye Qingqiu sneered in her heart. “Also, Liang Xuer, even if the arrangement this time is selfish, you have to accept it. Ye Jianyun is my father. So what if he’s really biased towards me?”
“Don’t look at me like that. You look like you’re an orphan and you’re in the right. I wonder if you feel anything when you see the entire Ye family treating you so carefully every day. In the entire Ye family, has my father mistreated you?”
“They’ve always accepted you, but have you accepted them all these years? You’re the one who pushed them further and further away. Do you feel aggrieved? Look at yourself first.”
Ye Qingqiu had tolerated Liang Xuer for a long time.
Everyone knew that the two of them had been at odds since the first day Liang Xuer entered the Ye family.
However, compared to the quiet, dignified, and pure Liang Xuer, they preferred this princess who had been pampered by the entire Ye family.
At the very least, she could be described as evil.
After spending so much time together, they didn’t even know if their little princess was considered bad.
Liang Xuer was once again rendered speechless by Ye Qingqiu’s words.
After being in the Ye family for two years, she indeed couldn’t say anything bad about Ye Jianyun.
Even if she really wanted to deny it, so many people in the Ye family were watching.
But now…
Wasn’t it obvious who was more important?
However, Ye Qingqiu pushed the responsibility to her.
She had never accepted anyone from the Ye family. She had always been the one pus.h.i.+ng them away…
Ha.
Indeed.
Ye Jianyun was not her father.
How could she accept them?
Time would tell.
Ye Jianyun had been disappointed with Liang Xuer recently.
Qingqiu’s words had indeed pierced his heart.
“It was my idea to let Tingshen study in the company. It’s right to say that I’m thinking for his sake. I have selfish motives too. I’ll find a tutor for you. Whether you accept it or not is entirely up to you. If you’re unwilling, you can look for him. If he gives up on entering the company and chooses to tutor you, I won’t force you.”
“But…” Ye Jianyun stood up and looked at Liang Xuer with a dark expression. “His starting point can be high, but I’m the one who gave him this starting point. If you want to go back on your word and find him again, I don’t have to bring him along. In order to let him tutor you and become a useless person in the future… You can do whatever you want.”
Liang Xuer held her breath.
Then, she reacted and stared at Ye Jianyun in disbelief.
“Are you… threatening me?”
Ye Jianyun frowned and looked at her calmly. “No matter how young you are, you should be able to tell the truth. Or is it that whatever you say will be the truth? Will time wait for you?”
How many years did one have?
How many could she afford to miss?
Liang Xuer bit her lips tightly.
Her eyes were filled with anger, unwillingness, and grievance.
Ye Jianyun’s heavy sigh sounded.
Liang Xuer was stunned.
She could hear the deep helplessness and disappointment in his sigh.
She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
Ye Qingqiu glanced at her coldly and followed behind Ye Jianyun.
—
Reality had proven that Liang Xuer would never let herself suffer.
Even though she had such a huge conflict with Ye Qingqiu and Ye Jianyun this time, she still accepted the tutoring that Ye Jianyun had arranged for her.
Everyone knew that this was a wise choice.
No matter what, life was her own.
If she didn’t learn, she would be the one to suffer.
—
The next day, Ye Qingqiu and Ye Jianyun went to the Ye Corporation.
The little princess of the Ye family had only been to the company a few times, but everyone in the company knew her.
She was wearing a simple plain dress and her fair face was beautiful.
Everyone in Ping Cheng City knew this face.
The company’s att.i.tude towards her was clear. She was the real princess of the Ye family.
What else could he do?
It was over.
Not long after the father and daughter arrived at the office, Li Tingshen appeared in Ye Jianyun’s office.
