Chapter 1152 - 1141: Favoring Daughters Over Sons
Ye Qiu knew Ye Qing was foolish, but he didn’t expect her to be so foolish. Not only was she completely deceived by Cao Wentao, but she also ended up with a two million debt. Was her brain eaten by a dog?
Indeed, Ye Qiu laughed at himself. In her past life, it was the same. Once she got married, she seemed like a different person, always putting Cao Wentao first. What kind of spell did some man cast on her to make her obey him completely?
After so many years of studying, it’s as if she used up all her intelligence. Can any paper be signed just like that? In her past life, at least she just lazed around at home living off others and ordering people around. In this life, it’s even worse. She was not only abandoned but also burdened with a two-million debt. It’s simply stupidity beyond measure.
Ye Qiu didn’t feel sorry for Ye Qing at all, thinking that today’s situation was completely her own fault. But he still couldn’t stand by and do nothing, not because he cared about that bit of sibling bond, but because he didn’t want Ye Qing to go crazy again.
His current status is different. For the sake of the company’s development, he doesn’t want any scandals due to family reasons. Furthermore, his son is growing up day by day, and he only hopes his son can grow up healthy and happy, without being confused by stories about grandparents or aunt when he grows up.
After all, it’s just a lift of a finger. Cao Wentao’s scheme was not flawless, and Ye Qing shouldn’t bear the two million debt alone. And there’s his little nephew. He can’t just watch such a small child be ruined.
But he can help Ye Qing handle the matter, and he can also help punish Cao Wentao. However, Ye Qing shouldn’t expect him to help her in the latter half of her life. Adults should bear adult responsibilities. If Ye Qing still sees herself as exceptionally high and takes it for granted, he doesn’t mind making her busy.
In fact, when he agreed to help, Han Hui and Ye Peilin decided to properly transform their daughter from then on. Regardless of what kind of work she does in the future, after the debt is cleared, apart from helping her with childcare, they won’t provide her with any more assistance. Even now, living at home requires her to pay rent and living expenses.
Ye Qing wasn’t without dissatisfaction, but now there’s no one on her side. After this calamity, she finally realized how big of a mistake she had made before. Clearly, she could have enjoyed life under the family’s love. Why did she listen to Cao Wentao and deceive her grandparents for money? As a result, now all the relatives look at her with strange eyes, and everyone despises her.
When the four elders passed away, Ye Qing cried harder than anyone else, but no one sympathized with her.
Now she doesn’t have branded bags or high-end clothes. Her more than four thousand yuan salary, after paying rent and living expenses, has only a negligible amount left for her to spend. What she wears are also discounted items from the supermarket.
Han Hui and Ye Peilin weren’t without heartache seeing this, but what can they do? They’re afraid their daughter might become lazy again if they become too soft-hearted. Moreover, their grandson is growing every day. In the future, tuition fees, living expenses, and tutoring fees will all be astronomical figures, so they have to save up.
The couple really loves this grandson sincerely. Perhaps because the young child has experienced these things, he is especially sensible. But Han Hui and Ye Peilin still dare not be careless, fearing that too much indulgence will raise another Ye Qing. So from a young age, they taught him to do household chores, but they also did not ignore him like they used to ignore their son Ye Qiu.
In such a growing environment, although his biological parents are unreliable, Cao Yun did not grow crooked. On the contrary, he is exceptionally excellent and sensible, so much so that even his uncle Ye Qiu, who occasionally sees him, loves him dearly.
Ye Qiu never reconciled with his parents and sister Ye Qing, but he has a good relationship with Cao Yun, often bringing him to side for parental education. Seeing this, Han Hui and Ye Peilin finally felt at ease, but the regret of not treating their son well lingered with them throughout their latter half of life.
Perhaps she finally repented, or maybe she wanted her son to have a better future. After Cao Wentao was brought back to the country, she met him once and then fell silent, going to work systematically every day. At home, she even started grabbing to do household chores, as if she changed into a different person.
Relatives and friends have a better perception of her now and are willing to slowly interact with her, but she closed off herself, becoming less talkative and more isolated.
Ye Qiu thought she probably still couldn’t accept such a fall from grace. After all, she was once a darling adored and praised by everyone wherever she went. Later, she became someone people avoided and detested. Even if she turned back, she still felt awkward and unwilling to face it.
Did Ye Qing regret it? She did. Looking at her glamorous younger brother and sister-in-law on TV, how could she not be envious? But who told her to commit so many mistakes in the past?
Except for her brother, probably no one knew she disliked him. Even though everyone at home favored her, she still disliked him. She always remembered the scene when Ye Qiu was born, and everyone gathered around him. She was scared, afraid that her love and adoration would be snatched away just like that because that’s what happened to a girl classmate of hers. After her brother was born, everyone in her family went to adore her brother.
So she deliberately acted cute and lovely in front of adults while secretly bullying Ye Qiu behind the scenes. Watching him get bullied even with no one to help, at first, Ye Qing felt guilty and scared, but over time, she took bullying him for granted.
The adults said it was because of her that her brother was born, so wasn’t it only natural for her to make him do anything? If it weren’t for her, he wouldn’t have had the chance to come to this world!
But Ye Qing knew herself, if she were so bluntly bad to him, surely someone wouldn’t like her but instead would love Ye Qiu. So every time, she said it was for Ye Qiu’s own good, and every time, she told the adults that boys need to be trained.
She feared that Ye Qiu would grow up to threaten her status, so she forced him to move forward according to her ideas. If he didn’t listen, she would sow discord in front of their parents. The result was fruitful; their parents indeed didn’t believe in him at all, even driving him out of the house.
But it was also then that she truly started to panic. She vaguely realized her mistake, but she didn’t dare to admit it, nor did she want to admit her mistake.
And then, what resulted was one mistake after another, leading to being deceived by Cao Wentao’s facade and recklessly plunging into it, staking everything she had.
When she couldn’t come up with living expenses for raising a child, when she was burdened with huge debts, she finally admitted it. She was foolish, jealous, and inherently bad.
Just how bad must she be to, from childhood, think about ruining her brother Ye Qiu?
Everything she is experiencing today is probably karma!
