Chapter 117 - Arguments

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Cheng’s mood was unusually bad. He did not expect that Song Ning and Ning Zhe were father and daughter. He had once thought Ning Zhe was fooling around outside and had taken a liking to Song Ning and was pestering her. In his heart, he had even disdained Ning Zhe at that time.

At this time, Ye Cheng’s heart was filled with regret and jealousy when he thought about how lucky Mu Chen was! Song Ning was a young woman with a good education, and he had thought she was rather unique previously. He even had to admit that he was slightly moved by her. At that time, he was certain Mu Chen and Song Ning’s marriage was fake so he was determined to win Song Ning over. As for what he would do after he won Song Ning over, that was a matter for the future. She was just a woman, after all.

Ye Cheng had grown even more determined to win Song Ning over when he discovered Mu Chen truly liked Song Ning. One of his joys in life was to snatch Mu Chen’s things. After all, Mu Chen always had the very best things.

.

Now that it had been revealed that Song Ning was Ning Zhe’s daughter, he felt incredibly vexed. Why was Mu Chen always so lucky? Why was he always a step behind Mu Chen? It felt like he could not catch up to Mu Chen no matter how hard he tried. Perhaps, the only advantage he had over Mu Chen was that he was about to take over public office. Even then, there was a voice in the depths of his heart that told him he was only successful in this regard because Mu Chen had no interest in politics. Otherwise, he would not be able to compete with Mu Chen as well.

All these thoughts really made Ye Cheng feel like vomiting blood.

Ye Cheng sat in the car for a while to calm down before he finally exited from the car.

At the same time, a sports car suddenly came to a screeching halt next to Ye Cheng.

Ye Cheng frowned.

Ye He, Ye Cheng’s father, began to shout as soon as he alighted the car, “Ye Cheng, what’s going on? Your mother has been calling me non-stop? What kind of madness is this?!”

Ye Cheng took a deep breath before he said, “I don’t know. As you can see, I haven’t entered the house yet. Maybe it’s about Ye Xin.”

Ye He frowned. “What could be wrong with her? She’s at the peak of her popularity.”

Ye Cheng did not say anything and entered the house with his father.

Ye He said with a hint of delight, “I heard quite a few productions are looking to cast her in dramas recently. Moreover, the dramas are all helmed by famous directors. There’s even a producer who came looking for me, hoping that I’ll be able to convince your sister to join the cast.”

“Dad, you didn’t agree, right?” Ye Cheng asked, slightly alarmed.

“Of course not. How can I make this kind of decision for her?” Ye He said a little bit too quickly.

Ye Cheng felt uneasy when he saw his father’s guilty actions. He decided to ask his assistant to speak to his father’s secretary to inquire about his father’s recent activities. He made a note to speak to Yang Li as well. With these thoughts in mind, he felt a headache coming on.

As soon as the father and son entered the house, Gao Wen said mockingly, “Oh, look at who’s back! It seems like Master Ye and Young Master Ye finally remembered they have a home and that they have a daughter and a sister…”

Ye Cheng did not speak; he was already used to his mother’s behavior.

Ye He did not respond to Gao Wen as well. Instead, he said to Ye Xin, “My darling princess, what’s wrong? Who made you unhappy? Hurry up and tell daddy so daddy can vent your anger for you…”

Ye Xin turned her body to the side angrily, ignoring her father.

Ye He turned to the helper standing at the side and asked, “What’s wrong with the Young Miss? Which one of you made her angry again? Let me tell you, no one’s allowed to make my little princess unhappy!”

The helper lowered his head, not daring to speak.

At this moment, Gao Wen walked over and sat next to Ye Xin before she clicked her tongue and said, “Look at our Master Ye! How awe-inspiring and fierce! However, why don’t you be fierce with outsiders instead?”

Ye He rolled his eyes. “What’s wrong now? I’m just trying to find out why my daughter is so upset. You’re so anxious and rushed Ye Cheng and me to come back, and yet, you refuse to tell us what’s wrong. What do you want us to do? Ye Cheng and I are very busy. Look at your son. In the past six months, in order to assume public office, he worked himself to the bones. Have you ever cared about him?”

Upon hearing these words, Gao Wen looked at Ye Cheng guiltily. Nevertheless, she stubbornly said, “Fine. Ye Cheng is busy, but what about you? What are you busy with? Which unknown celebrity are you chasing now? Don’t always use your son as an excuse. If you’re a reliable father, would my son be so exhausted?”

Ye He said impatiently, “Must you always say such unpleasant words? Hurry up and tell us what’s going on so Ye Cheng and I can come up with a solution. What’s the point of arguing? How pointless!”

Gao Wen said pointedly, “Pointless? Ye He, how dare you!”

Ye Cheng felt his headache worsen when he watched his parents argue with each other again.
