Sweet Wife in My Arms
846 Child, This Really Is Not A Place For You
"I'm not a kid anymore, father." Ye Xinyu adjusted his standing posture, which was already straight as a pole, "I'm 22 now, I've learned what I needed to, and even if I'm childish, I still know that I shouldn't bite off more than I can chew. She didn't even attend school, but she aspires to be an actress. On top of that, she even asked her sister-in-law to sacrifice herself as a foil for her."
"Father, do you think Sun Yuhan is that presumptuous?"
Ye Chuji tossed a glare in his son's direction, and at the same time, he also stared at his father. For once, he was neither dying to avoid it nor was he afraid.
"Father, grandpa is old and clumsy, but what about you? You knew this whole time that I owe sister-in-law my life, that if it wasn't for her you would've lost a son, and the Ye family line would've broken off already. No, he's mocking himself, isn't Sun Yuhan still here? I don't care if she were to be endowed with half of the Ye family's wealth, I just don't want to be working my ass off everyday driving the mill like a donkey, just to end up providing for others."
"That's your grandpa." Ye Chuji's face was stern with warning, "No matter what he does, he's still your grandpa. Also, regarding Sun Yuhan, what do you mean by 'that woman'? She's your aunt's daughter."
"I've never even seen my aunt," Ye Chuji muttered under his breath, "I was raised by my eldest aunt, taught by my cousin, and personally dug up by sister-in-law and uncle themselves."
"That's all I remember, and as for everything else, I don't know and I won't acknowledge them."
Ye Xinyu disliked it when past events such as these were forced upon him. He did not owe anyone anything, and he did not even remember that aunt, or even seen her daughter. They did not feed him a single grain of rice, or gave him a drop of water; he was single-handedly raised and fed by his eldest aunt, grew up on his cousin's back, and when he was buried under the debris after the earthquake, he was dug up by his sister-in-law and uncle. What had Sun Yuhan given him; what had the aunt he never met ever given him?
So what if he only remembered these?
"You..." Ye Chuji fought back the sudden urge to beat his son just the way he did in the past, but when he saw the resemblance Ye Xinyu bore to his wife at the moment, alongside the fearless expression he sported on his face, he could not bring himself to hit him.
This might even have been the first time he could not bear to hit him, to hit this brat.
Despite that, even he himself could not deny that Ye Xinyu was not wrong. What he said was true, he was completely right.
In this world, some people force others to do things against their will, some who are beyond ungrateful, and many others who abandon their benefactors upon achieving their goals. The Ye family was a combination of these three types of people.
Was there a single thing under this vast sky that could serve as a threat to Yan Huan? Besides relationships, was there really anything else? It was not like Yan Huan had no money; Linlang was hers, and she had also managed to secure 10 percent of shares from the Ye family's airport, she had filmed advertisements and movies alike, and her pay was top in the entire country. She was currently holding the first and second place for the highest-grossing films, and it was still her place to keep.
Actually, even he himself found this ridiculous. He did not understand what was going through Sun Yuhan's mind when she decided to have Yan Huan play a supporting role in her film. Could she overpower Yan Huan? Obviously not, and now she was even pressuring Yan Huan to sacrifice her own acting skills, to fulfill her.
Even fools would not comply with such requests.
Was Yan Huan a fool?
If she were one, then there would be no intelligence in this world.
To make things worse, Lu Yi managed to find out about this matter. And as for Lu Yi's temper, could he be any more informed?
He and his son stared at each other with consternation for the longest time. Ye Xinyu had almost pointed a finger at his father's head and called him out for being ungrateful, but perhaps to maintain the respect for his status, he held himself back.
Before he could let out the breath he was holding, Lu Yi arrived.
"You're here," Ye Chuji sighed softly. "This is about Yan Huan, am I right?"
"That's right." Lu Yi took a seat, facing Ye Chuji. At this moment, he had already dropped the smile, and his face revealed no trace of emotion. Ye Chuji could not tell whether it was disappointment or something else, but it made him feel depressed.
Look at this, what had been done?
Why else did Ye Shuyun once label this Sun Yuhan as an absolute disaster for the Lu family? Could it be that this was the nature that beckoned unfortunate events, and after causing chaos to the Lu family, it was now the Ye family's turn?
Nevertheless, his sister's child, or his niece, was a member of the Ye family no matter what, and he must still protect and guide her.
"Just speak your mind." Ye Chuji no longer wished to bicker with his nephew over nothing. They clearly knew about this incident, so there was no purpose in seeking excuses. They ought to be direct and get straight to the point.
Lu Yi lifted his gaze, staring at Ye Chuji without blinking. "Uncle, I hope that you will not bother Huanhuan in the future. Sun Yuhan's issue has absolutely nothing to do with her, the fact that you want to beat up those in the Ye family also has got nothing to do with her. Her family name is not Ye, and she doesn't owe you anything."
His tone carried an unexplained stiffness that would not stop ringing piercingly in Ye Chuji's ear.
Initially, Ye Chuji had already felt the guilt stemming in his heart but, topped off with the earlier argument with his son, and the fact that his nephew was now here, he suddenly felt as if he had aged a good few years.
All of a sudden, he got an intense urge to retire.
"That's enough." He waved his hand dismissively. He felt thoroughly exhausted, and he told himself he would not care anymore.
"You should leave first. Regarding their future matters, I shall not intervene anymore." At the same time, he was aware in his heart that even if he did not step in, Grandpa would regardless.
Anyhow, it was simply impossible to make Yan Huan diminish her acting skills to cater to Sun Yuhan. Yan Huan would neither joke about Linlang, nor would she laugh about her lifetime reputation. She had spent all her two lives on perfecting her acting skills, so to prompt her to ruin her own skills would equate to destroying all the effort throughout her two lifetimes, and that was out of the question. She would never compromise even if it meant pulling herself out of the film.
Grandpa Ye had played a few cunning moves in between as well, but they did not yield substantial outcomes. After all, if it were too much, not only would it cause Yan Huan trouble, the same thing would happen to his granddaughter. Perhaps this was what they called sparing the rats to save the dishes.
Sun Yuhan aspired to be a celebrity, but she had not even a single bit of talent in acting, and the expressions on her face were constantly obtuse. When asked to smile, she put on a stiff, unnatural smile; when asked to tear, she called for eye drops; in short, it was a bumpy road. Even the frustrated director gave up on her, having lost all hopes he had initially held for this film. The only thing he could still count on was the fact that the other actors, inclusive of Yan Huan, still possessed outstanding acting skills, and that the outfits were glamorous. The team had an ample amount of money to get the most desirable props and facilities in place. Besides, other than the female lead, every other actor was up to standard. This somewhat reassured the director, though he still had to resist the urge to bawl every time he laid eyes on the female lead.
In the future, if this Sun family person still lingered in the entertainment industry, he would definitely do everything he could to avoid her. As long as she was involved, be it movies or TV series, he would not accept the project even if he was beaten to death.
Still, he really wanted to tell Sun Yuhan one thing.
