Chapter 43 - 042: Mutation
Old Mrs. Ye’s harsh words left everyone in the room slightly stunned. Ye He Ping opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute, yet felt his mouth was as heavy as a thousand pounds, unable to move.
Ye He Ping understood why he didn’t have the face to refute. Previously, he said not to let the older daughter study, all for the sake of the younger daughter. Now, his mother’s words had blocked any further discussion.
In the living room, Bai Xue became anxious after hearing this
Although she hadn’t stayed close to her mother-in-law in recent years, she knew well her mother-in-law’s temperament. Once she made up her mind, it was generally hard to change.
Whether the eldest daughter attends school or not, Bai Xue didn’t care, but the younger daughter couldn’t not study, particularly not give up dance class, or else wouldn’t her life be over? At that moment, Bai Xue was like an ant on a hot pan, pacing anxiously, yet didn’t dare to rush into the East Room. Unable to wait any longer for her husband’s words, Bai Xue wished she could shout out loud to remind her husband to refute.
Finally, Ye Qian couldn’t hold back any longer. Without saying more to her mother, she took a few big steps into the East Room, and her crying voice came out, "Grandma, please don’t be mad at Dad. If you must blame someone, blame me. It’s all my fault, I’m the one dragging the family down."
Ye Qian knelt directly by the bed, crying to the bedridden Old Mrs. Ye, then admitted her fault to her father beside her, "Dad, I won’t study or learn dance. Let my sister go to school, or else even if I live, I’ll despise myself for life. Dad, I know you and Mom mean well for me, but if my sister truly can’t study because of me and wastes her life, I’ll never forgive myself."
Ye He Ping’s eyes reddened, his voice trembled slightly, "Good child, stand up, it’s your father who’s incompetent, it’s all your father’s fault."
"No, Dad is not at fault, it’s my fault. I know Mom and Dad cherish me, but this is a rich man’s disease I have, please don’t let me burden the family anymore. Whatever happens, just let it happen, don’t continue treating it." Ye Qian threw herself into her father’s embrace and began to cry.
Ye He Ping couldn’t help but tear up as well.
