Chapter 44 - 043: Angry Departure
Ye Ling returned the words, although she called out ’Dad,’ her tone was indifferent, as if she were speaking to a stranger.
After Ye He Ping entered the room, he noticed that his eldest daughter had been keeping her head down. Despite everything that had happened, his wife and younger daughter had come over to shoulder the blame, but his eldest daughter just sat there like a stranger, uninvolved. This attitude made Ye He Ping feel uncomfortable; even though he knew that the reason his eldest daughter was distant was because she had not been by their side all these years, how could she sit there so coldly when the family was going through such turmoil? It must take a heart of ice to do that.
Listening to his eldest daughter’s indifferent words, he couldn’t help but get angry, his expression turning stern, "Ye Ling, you are the eldest, you should be more sensible than your sister. I know not letting you go to school wronged you, but given our family’s current situation, you should sacrifice a little self-interest for the family’s sake."
"Dad, I grew up in the countryside, I’m not as noble as you think, capable of sacrificing my whole life for others. I don’t care about eating well, dressing well, or even not living with you in the city, but when it comes to studying, I cannot give in or agree," Ye Ling looked steadily at her father. How could they be so harsh on her, for two lifetimes now?
Originally, after being reborn, Ye Ling thought she no longer cared, but standing in front of everything now, she couldn’t help but feel hurt, a mocking smile appeared on her lips, how could she still hold hope, how laughable and pitiful.
"Ye Ling, do you really want to make the whole family have a hard time because of you?" Ye He Ping unconsciously raised his voice.
"Why are you shouting? What did the child say wrong? Why should the whole family have a hard time if she goes to school? I’ve never heard of such a reason." Old Mrs. Ye was anxious and squeezed in next to her son, raising her palm to hit him.
Ye He Ping didn’t dare to dodge, letting his mother do as she pleased, "Mom, don’t be angry."
It wasn’t that Ye He Ping was afraid of the pain, but seeing his mother at such an age, he was really worried that she might hurt her back or something.
Bai Xue and Ye Qian also hurried to break up the fight. Old Mrs. Ye couldn’t push away Ye Qian, but instead swung her hand fiercely at her daughter-in-law, "Stop pretending to be a good person here, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. If you weren’t instigating from behind, would He Ping have such an idea? They say a virtuous wife brings prosperity to the family, but with a troublemaker like you, life can’t be good."
