Ye Zhiliang frowned: "Brother Gu, this is our family matter."
Gu Wanqin’s father said, "I know this is your family matter, I have no opinion on how you divide your family assets, but my daughter will not be promised to both brothers of the Ye Family. Wanqin is at fault in this, but so is Ye Yanting from your family. We agree to annul the engagement, but Wanqin will never have any more relations with Ye Yanting."
Ye Yanting suddenly looked over: "Uncle, Wanqin and I are truly in love!"
"Truly in love?" Gu Wanqin’s father mocked, "If you truly loved her, you wouldn’t have let things develop to this stage. Why didn’t you speak up during all those opportunities before?"
"We just didn’t know how to say it. We thought about ending this relationship, but the emotions were real and not so easily controlled. Uncle, today we really couldn’t help ourselves, please forgive me. I promise I will treat Wanqin well from now on."
"I don’t believe you’re a responsible person. It’s you who let her fall into the whirlpool of public opinion. Even if no one wants her in the future, I won’t let her marry you," Gu Wanqin’s father said angrily. Ye Yanting is a man, at most he suffers some negative commentary, but if he works hard in the future, a joke will pass. However, the harm to his daughter is lifelong, because in this world, men and women aren’t truly equal, and women always suffer more. He couldn’t forgive Yanting’s so-called true love for the harm it caused his daughter."
"Wanqin, say something, beg your father, we are truly in love, we are only happy when we are together. We can’t just separate like this." Ye Yanting said anxiously.
However, Gu Wanqin just kept her head down crying. Listening to her father and Ye Yanting’s conversation, her tears flowed even more fiercely and she couldn’t say a word.
The Old Lady snorted lightly at this, thinking they made a mistake and couldn’t even say a word at this point. Fortunately, she hasn’t married in yet, otherwise, her eldest grandson would suffer even more grievances in the future.
"Brother Gu, I’ll see you and your wife out." Although Ye Zhiliang was also angry at Gu Wanqin’s indiscretion, she seemed gentle and sensible normally. Who knew she’d entangle with his younger brother in private? But he understood that his younger son was unruly. There was surely a strong influence from Ye Yanting, and indeed the woman suffers more loss. So he kindly saw them out.
What anger could Gu Wanqin’s father harbor? Although the younger son of the Ye Family wronged his daughter, his daughter also wronged the elder son of the Ye Family. He truly admired Ye Qiu, but fate had other plans.
He patted Ye Qiu on the shoulder, then led his daughter away, ignoring Ye Yanting’s yelling behind them.
"Can you settle down for a bit!" After seeing them off, Ye Zhiliang shouted and then kicked him. "What a spectacle! Do you think you can act so lawlessly just because your mom and I spoil you? From tomorrow, you’ll work at the branch company, otherwise, we’ll cut off your allowance."
"Dad, I know I’ve wronged big brother. We were planning to come clean to everyone, but we didn’t expect Tan Nana to rudely open my room door like that..."
"You think you have a point?" Ye Zhiliang interrupted with another kick, "I haven’t even addressed how you intentionally deceived Tan Nana’s feelings. She’s your girlfriend, what’s wrong with her coming into your room?"
"Stop kicking him, Yanting has already realized his mistake. What if you really hurt him?" Ren Zhen defended.
"Indulgent mothers raise incompetent sons. He’s spoiled to this stage, but have you thought about how Ye Qiu’s feelings?"
Ren Zhen stiffened, looking apologetically at Ye Qiu: "Qiu’er, your brother..."
"I want to move out for a while." Ye Qiu said tiredly, "I’ll come back once I figure things out."
"If someone’s moving, it should be him." The Old Lady said.
"No need, Grandma. A company project is very busy recently. I was already planning to move closer to the office. I’ve packed up my place already. I’ll move, but Grandma if you miss me, I’ll come back to visit you whenever I’m free."
Grandma lovingly patted his head: "Since you were little, you were sensible. Even when your parents weren’t around, you wouldn’t complain if other kids bullied you. Now that you’re finally with us, your dad’s busy, and your mom dotes on your brother more, yet you still don’t say anything. Now, after being wronged, you still bear it silently. When will you ever start thinking for yourself?"
Her words made Ye Zhiliang, Ren Zhen, and Ye Yanting all feel very guilty, especially Ren Zhen, who realized she probably just hurt her elder son by defending her younger one, bringing a flood of remorse. Could it really be, as they say, that the favored ones have no fears?
The Old Lady snorted seeing the three of them looking uncomfortable. She said those words on purpose. Did they really think they could feel peaceful when her eldest grandson was wronged?
"Grandma, let me take you back to your room to rest."
When Ye Qiu returned to the living room, only Ye Yanting was there, looking ashamed: "Bro, I should have said something earlier. Sorry about today, we really thought about going our separate ways."
"But matters of the heart can’t be controlled, right?" Ye Qiu continued, "I understand. Wanqin is a good girl, liking her is normal. She suffered a lot today. No matter how Uncle Gu treats you in the future, you shouldn’t lose your temper or act immature. If you gain the approval from the Gu Family, if you and Wanqin eventually love each other, if you become strong enough, only then will everyone gradually forget today’s incident and start to bless you both."
Hearing Ye Qiu’s sincere advice, Ye Yanting felt even more guilty: "I will, bro. Thank you."
Ye Qiu patted his shoulder without saying more, then turned to pack his belongings.
He moved the next day to a new apartment in the city center. Its simple and clear design perfectly suited his preferences. Without him in the middle of the awkwardness, Ye Yanting and Gu Wanqin should reconcile soon enough. After all, the two were destined protagonists.
However, things didn’t go as he expected. Gu Wanqin left A City; it was heard that the Gu Family sent her abroad to avoid the whirlpool of public opinion.
Actually, the Gu Family’s decision was right. Time is the most effective way to wear down everything. Now staying in A City was indeed unwise for Gu Wanqin, but it was unfavorable for the relationship between the two since Ye Yanting was forced to work by his dad, unable to reach her.
Ye Qiu shook his head. Following the past life’s pattern of their romance, it’s unsure how much more they’d have to struggle. Without him and Tan Nana as obstacles, there might be others, and before reconciling, perhaps misunderstanding each other might still occur.
But none of that concerns him anymore. If they want to indulge in melodramatic love, let them. After all the ups and downs, they will eventually be together. He didn’t want to get involved again.
