Chapter 2094: Chapter 2054: Clearing Things Up Face-to-Face
Old Cao, Old Ye, and Cao Ling’s uncle sat down, followed by Ye Weidong and his wife, while Lin Xiang watched from a distance, with Ye Qiu and Cao Ling sitting nearby.
Clearly, Ye Qiu called them here to clarify things face-to-face and avoid any knots or unresolved feelings in the hearts of Ye Weidong and his wife.
Actually, many Chinese parents raise children as a safeguard for their old age, because, compared to developed countries, the domestic retirement system is still lacking.
It’s quite normal for Ye Weidong and his wife to think that way.
Of course, back then, when the family planning policy was still strict, having had Ye Xue, they couldn’t have another child. However, since Ye Xue had polio, which classified her as disabled, according to the policy, Ye Weidong and his wife could have another child.
However, after adopting Ye Qiu, the couple didn’t have any more children.
In fact, back then, the couple could have had another child.
But if they had another child and it was a daughter, perhaps it would have been fine, they wouldn’t have placed more affection on a daughter, but if it was a son, they surely would have placed their love on their biological son.
This is human nature, very reasonable.
Therefore, the couple considered this and decided not to have more children, having Ye Qiu was enough.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qiu’s changes have now brought about so many problems.
"Old Cao, Uncle Cao Ling, Cao Ling, let me clarify this in person; regardless of my relationship with the Capital City Ye Family, whether I’m an illegitimate child or not, I can tell you, that Ye Qiu has died."
That Ye Qiu died?
Actually, what Ye Qiu said is true.
That Ye Qiu indeed is dead.
Now he merely inhabits the other’s body.
However, to Ye Weidong and his wife, to Old Cao, and even Old Ye, Ye Qiu’s words held meaning.
Ye Qiu meant that the Ye Qiu who was abandoned back then is dead, and it’s impossible for him to have any association with the Ye Family anymore.
"Ye Qiu, I am not very clear about what happened back then, I don’t even know why that lad abandoned you?"
Still, Old Ye seemed to have thought of something.
After all, back then, Ye Zhengyu and Ye Feng’s mother were well matched in social status, and it was he and the Ye Family who forced Ye Zhengyu to marry Ye Feng’s mother, and perhaps Ye Zhengyu didn’t like Ye Feng’s mother at all.
Then, who is Ye Qiu’s birth mother?
Why did these two abandon Ye Qiu?
Old Ye looked into a lot of records but couldn’t find anything; the most critical point is with Ye Zhengyu, and perhaps he doesn’t even know who Ye Qiu’s birth mother is now.
"Old Ye, I don’t want to discuss this, no matter the reason, I have no relation to the Capital City Ye Family."
Actually, apart from a possible blood connection, in other regards, there really is no relation.
Old Cao and Uncle Cao Ling seemed like they wanted to say something but ended up not saying anything.
"Honestly, I’m not asking you to really go back to the Ye Family; I just feel that the Ye Family could provide you with better conditions, a better space for development. After all, the blood flowing through you is Ye Family blood."
Old Ye said again.
"Haha, others might desperately want this, but I don’t need it. Everything I have, I’ll earn with my own two hands."
Don’t want it?
Seeing Ye Qiu’s expression, Old Ye realized that Ye Qiu was telling the truth.
Clearly, Ye Qiu directly denies the Ye Family.
He doesn’t care at all what the Ye Family is like because he doesn’t need to beg anyone for anything.
"I hope you think it over carefully."
Old Ye said.
"No need, I had no relation with the Ye Family before, and it will be the same in the future, however, I hope the Ye Family doesn’t see me as a threat anymore, sending people to assassinate me, next time it won’t be that simple."
Send people to assassinate?
Clearly, Ye Qiu was referring to Ye Feng.
But Ye Feng has already died of cancer.
In Old Ye’s view, this is karma.
Ye Qiu has made himself very clear, but fears there are still some reckless ones in the Ye Family, if so, Ye Qiu certainly wouldn’t let them go.
Old Ye was momentarily taken aback, clearly understanding Ye Qiu’s stance.
"In this world, I have only one set of parents, and that’s Ye Weidong and Chen Fang. As for anyone else, I do not acknowledge them."
Ye Qiu continued.
Ye Qiu didn’t want to say more.
In front of so many people, he has made himself clear, naturally hoping Old Ye would not use his status to disrupt his life.
Although Old Ye was mentally prepared, for some reason, there still was a sense of discomfort.
Why?
This kid actually looks down on the Ye Family?
If word got out, wouldn’t the Ye Family become a laughingstock among the great families in the Capital City?
Of course, Old Ye thought Ye Qiu was young and impetuous, thinking that perhaps he might not think so over time.
For now, it’s most crucial to figure out where Ye Zhengyu is, and who Ye Qiu’s birth mother is.
"Mr. Ye, thank you for your understanding." Old Ye said in embarrassment while looking at Ye Weidong and his wife.
Clearly, the other party has acknowledged Ye Qiu’s statement.
"It’s fine." Ye Weidong said.
No matter what, the old man before them is Ye Qiu’s biological grandfather, and his status is formidable, Ye Weidong and his wife didn’t know what more to say.
As Ye Weidong and his wife asked Xiaomai to prepare dinner, Ye Qiu directly took Cao Ling to the second floor.
However, Lin Xiang didn’t expect Ye Qiu’s background to be like that, for ordinary people it might indeed seem tragic, but Ye Qiu didn’t seem to care at all.
This made Lin Xiang admire Ye Qiu even more and feel something indescribable.
Ye Qiu pulled Cao Ling upstairs to the second floor, and after closing the door, directly pulled Cao Ling onto his lap; Cao Ling wasn’t shy, after all, they were already so close.
Only now did Cao Ling hold Ye Qiu by the neck and ask, "Ye Qiu, isn’t the Ye Family pretty great? With the Ye Family shielding you, there’s really no one you need to fear domestically."
"I told you, I have nothing to do with the Ye Family."
While saying this, Cao Ling still couldn’t understand why Ye Qiu said that, was Ye Qiu truly so filial to Ye Weidong?
Cao Ling leaned into Ye Qiu’s arms.
Now the Cao Family approves of her being with Ye Qiu partly because Ye Qiu is a descendant of the Ye Family, which means they are well matched, though of course, Cao Ling would never say this aloud.
Anyway, Ye Qiu has already surpassed the vast majority of people through his own abilities, and to Cao Ling, regardless of whether Ye Qiu has anything to do with the Ye Family, she is determined on Ye Qiu.
"Don’t you want to know about your biological parents?" Cao Ling asked again.
Even if Ye Qiu has no feelings for his biological parents, in her view, at least he should want to know something about them, right?
Biological parents?
Ye Qiu laughed.
His biological parents are not in this world, they are at the Heavenly Court Imperial Medical Bureau, and he understands this well.
