Xia Jingshu frowned deeply and a sliver of worry appeared in her eyes.
“Ye Hao, frankly, I think you should send Yuan Yuan away this time because your father is extremely angry over this matter.”
Ye Hao said, “I don’t care! Let him fume if he wants to.”
He already promised his wife that they would raise Yuan Yuan together, so he couldn’t break his promise to her.
Furthermore, this child was only a small matter, so why did he need to get so worked up over it!
Xia Jingshu sighed helplessly when she saw how adamant her son was. She reached out and tugged at his sleeve, motioning for him to sit closer.
After he moved closer to her, she turned to look furtively at the door and only whispered when she noticed that there wasn’t anybody around, “Ah Hao, I’ve heard some information over at Qin Garden. Your brother, Ye Yi has successfully completed his drug rehabilitation program and is currently somewhere in Europe. He contacted your father some time ago and he was in tears and sounded very regretful during the two-hour long video call. After your dad hung up, he cried silently for a long while, and ended up not sleeping the entire night.”
Xia Jingshu clutched her fingers tightly.
Ye Hao frowned in confusion and a complex emotion flashed across his face.
“I knew that it was a matter of time before he came back,” he said coldly.
Xia Jingshu gestured for Ye Hao to place the sleeping Xi Xi back into her stroller. Then, she lowered her voice and said, “Ye Hao, we are both aware that you have only inherited a majority of the Ye family wealth because your father felt bad toward us and we happened to get into a car accident while he was hospitalized. Moreover, he felt very disappointed toward Ye Yi after you revealed traces of his bad deeds, so he gave all f this in a moment of weakness. However, you should be well aware of the fact that Ye Yi is your father’s favorite son and this was the son that he had groomed since Ye Yi was a child. Your father feels guilty toward you but he does love Ye Yi more than you.”
Xia Jingsu wiped at her tears with her aged hands and tears kept spilling down her cheeks.
Ye Hao patted his mother’s shoulder and he felt terrible too when he saw how upset his mother was. He knew that his mother had suffered a lot because of him throughout all these years and had only returned to live with his father for his sake.
“Alright, mum. I’m aware of all these, so don’t be so upset. I won’t let Ye Yi get his way. ”
Xia Jingshu shook her head and she felt as though she couldn’t let go of her anxiety.
“Furthermore…” she continued. “I’m only here to visit on the pretext of taking Xi Xi away today. What I truly wanted to do was to give you some advice. Your father was very upset when he heard that you were going on holiday with your family for a month. Huayang has barely managed to regain some of its former glory under your leaders.h.i.+p, so how could you bear to leave on a month-long trip?”
“If your brother comes back and stirs up trouble at the company and you’re not here to see to things, the consequences might be dire. Your father might have left his fortune and stocks to you but most are only be stipulated in his will. Since he’s still alive, he still has time to make changes to his will, so what would happen if he decides to leave it all to Ye Yi later on? What I’m trying to say is, if you’re feeling burnt out at work, then bring Yan Yan out to travel for a few days within the country but one month is far too long and I don’t wish for you to go on such a long holiday, especially when there might be unrest on the horizon.”
