  While there was the sound of happiness and laughter at the hospital, in contrast, the atmosphere was heavy at the Ye’s. After Father Ye and Mother Ye returned from the hospital, the two remained silent. They didn’t say a single word.

  Mother Ye sat down on the couch with an unhappy expression.

  Sensing that there was something wrong, the housekeeper aunty carefully poured them each a cup of tea to try to ease their anger. Right after the housekeeper aunty had delivered the ceramic cup to Father Ye, he hurled the cup onto the ground.

  The housekeeper aunty, who was standing at the side, was greatly frightened and didn’t know what to do.

  Mother Ye pressed down the anger in her heart and with a calm expression, she said to the housekeeper aunty, “Go out to buy some food.”


  The housekeeper aunty hastily left.

  Father Ye didn’t dare to erupt in anger when he was outside, but at home, he had the courage and confidence to gesticulate and name the person he was scolding.

  “What’s so great about that Lu Beichuan? He only lucked out on the family he was born in. Without the Lu’s, what would he have? Where does he get off saying that 20 million is only a small project? I knew it. He’s always looked down on us!” Father Ye’s face was flushed in anger. He smacked the coffee table in front of himself before sitting down. Spitting mad, he scolded without taking a break.

  “At the very least, I’m his elder. He doesn’t know his place! He arrogantly considers himself above everyone else! Does he even see me as his father-in-law?!”


  Mother Ye sat on the couch and quietly listened for a while. Hearing the last part, she coldly laughed.

  “Father-in-law? His wife doesn’t even acknowledge you as her father. Why would this son-in-law acknowledge you as his father-in-law then?”


  “What do you mean?”


  “How can you not understand what I mean?” Mother Ye was very dissatisfied by Ye Zhen’s performance today. A fire had already been ignited in her heart. “Do you really not understand the words that Ye Zhen said at the hospital today? We only asked her to act as a go-between and say a few words to Lu Beichuan. And how did she respond? Counterattacking and resisting. How can you not understand what she meant by that attitude of hers? She doesn’t want anything to do with you, her useless father. What? You can’t tell?”


  After speaking to this point, Mother Ye sighed. “What a good daughter you raised. That old saying is truly right. A married daughter is like water that’s been poured out. She only cares about her in-laws lest they suffer any losses. She doesn’t care about the well-being of her maiden family at all.”


  Father Ye’s heart was full of anger when he heard these words.

  Although he was incompetent, his mind wasn’t clouded by bias. He had known what kind of person Ye Zhen was since she was a child. If her mother hadn’t been overboard with her bias and hurt her heart, then right now, she would do her utmost to help him after marrying into the Lu’s!

  “A married daughter is like water that’s been poured out……” Father Ye scoffed. “At the very least, Ye Zhen doesn’t ask for handouts from me. She’s not like your other good daughter. Every day, she thinks about ways to get money from me!”


  “What’s wrong with Ye Qing? How can you say that without being embarrassed? If you weren’t so useless, Ye Qing wouldn’t have such a hard time in the entertainment industry.”


  “Fine, I’m useless. Look at that good daughter that you’ve raised. You’ve always given her whatever she wanted since she was a child. She thinks she’s better than everyone else. Now that she entered the entertainment industry and hit a wall, does she finally understand who truly has power? Why is she having a hard time? It’s because you’ve raised her to go about with her nose in the air. She is undisciplined and out-of-control.

  How do you even have the face to speak badly about Zhenzhen? If you hadn’t been so biased, things would be different now. It’s one thing for you to give everything that’s good to Ye Qing, but why couldn’t you have prepared another portion for Zhenzhen too? If you had known how to treat your daughters fairly, Zhenzhen wouldn’t have treated me like that today!”


  “You say that as if you hold no responsibility for this. I was the one that gave birth to them, and I was the one that single-handled raised them too. As their father, what have you done for them? You think I’m biased. So why didn’t you show more concern to Ye Zhen in the past? You’re too slow to act. Ye Zhen has already succeeded in life by marrying into a good family. If you felt Ye Zhen was being mistreated, why didn’t you speak out for her in the past?”
