Chapter 262: The Meaning Of Your Life
Brant paused for a moment with an awkward expression and said, "I didn’t want it too, but the company..."
"Don’t mention the company to me." Yvonne interrupted him.
She couldn’t stand him every time he talked about the company, as if the company had something to do with her.
Brant adjusted his glasses frame and said after a brief hesitation, "Yvon, don’t be angry. I asked you to go on a blind date just for your own good, not completely for the company. You have grown up. It’s time to find someone to settle down."
Yvonne was tired of her father’s rhetoric.
She retorted bitterly, "Stop making excuses. You know very well whether it’s good for me or not. There’s no need for you to make such a highfalutin explanation."
"Am I such a selfish person in your opinion, Yvon?" Brant looked a little hurt.
Yvonne only thought what he asked was very ridiculous. If she had to find an egoist in the world, it would definitely be her father Brant.
"Of course, you’re not selfish indeed. You can push your daughter out without blinking for the White family. You’re selfless towards everyone in the family, but you’re only selfish towards me." She accused him.
"Yvon, you misunderstood me." Brant defended for himself.
"Misunderstanding? Why do you think I can do things that so many of you are powerless to do? You insist that you do it for my benefit, but do you really think that others will treat me kindly if I marry with this purpose?" She heckled.
"Yvon..."
"What’s more, Brant, when will you be able to act like a real man? You’re the head of the White family, yet you are always at the mercy of others. From before to now, you have never changed. Haven’t you noticed your problem so far?" Yvonne’s questions made Brant stunned.
Right at this moment, they heard a sound of footsteps.
"Who is making a fuss here?" Grace White walked in, wearing a pair of high heels. She ran her eyes over them, and then seemed to understand something, "I was wondering who was speaking so loud. So it was Yvonne."
Grace was still holding a briefcase in her hand. She had just returned from the company.
When Yvonne saw Grace, she felt that she had chosen a wrong day to come back today.
She immediately turned around and was about to leave.
"What, you want to leave? Do you have a problem with your aunt?" Grace stopped
her and said.
Hearing what she said, Yvonne stopped and looked back at her, "Don’t you know if I have any thoughts about you, Aunt?"
Grace was not angry with her. She walked up to her and said, "Isn’t it because we let you go on a blind date?"
She snorted, then looked up and down at her, "The Wood family’s son is a pedant and a conservative. You dress up enchantingly, how shredded you are!" She said in a sarcastic tone.
Yvonne kept sneering and said, "Auntie, haven’t you already planned everything? You know his personality and preferences very well, aren’t you?"
Grace did not mind her tone but said, "Yvonne, I know you don’t want a purposive marriage. However, this is your mission which you can’t escape from it."
"A mission? Am I born for this family?" Yvonne asked back.
Grace answered, "Your surname is White and you have the blood of the White family. This is the meaning of giving your life."
"So what is the meaning of your existence?" Yvonne asked.
Grace’s expression became serious, "My purpose is to protect the entire White Family so that the interests of the White family would not be harmed."
...
"Is that so?" Yvonne thought her words ridiculous. She did not expect Grace to be so shameless. She snorted and said, "Since the meaning of your existence is so great, why not marry yourself?"
"What did you say?" Grace’s expression instantly turned cold.
Yvonne ignored it and continued saying, "You are 35 years old now but you are still unmarried. Even if the White family need a business marriage, shouldn’t auntie go first?"
"You..." Grace was speechless.
Her marital status had always been a taboo in the White family.
But at this moment, Yvonne talked about it so bluntly that Grace’s face instantly turned pale. She looked at her brother Brant and said, "Listen to what Yvonne said, she is obviously disliking me!"
But before Brant could speak, Yvonne heckled her, "Haven’t you ever been to school? Since ancient times, there has always been an order between elders and the young. You are an elder, if the elder are not married yet, why should we be anxious? This is disrespectful to you, isn’t it?"
"You..." Grace was so angry that her hands clenched on her chest, "No matter what you say, it can’t change the fate of your business marriage."
"I don’t believe in destiny. What can you do to me?" Yvonne still insisted her opinion.
Grace was so angry that her expression turned terrible.
Upon seeing that, Brant immediately stood up and said, "Yvon, don’t talk back to your aunt. Apologize to her now."
"Apologize? Why should I apologize? If defending my dignity is wrong, then I won’t have to come back in the future." After saying these words, she turned around and left.
Grace’s voice sounded frustrated, "Even if you don’t come back for the rest of your life, you still can’t escape from your marriage."
Yvonne left the home angrily. She swore that she would never come back again.
She would move to a place where no one could find her.
At this moment, her phone rang and the screen lighted up. She clicked it and found that it was a message from her class group.
"We’ll meet on next Monday." A line of words was displayed on the phone.
Yvonne thought to herself, "I’ve already graduated for so long. There is no need to attend the reunion."
She didn’t want to go at all.
She took a taxi back to her house. Worrying that the White family might come to disturb her one day, she immediately decided to find another place to move out.
Accordingly, she logged into a rental website.
However, before she could take a look in detail, she was annoyed by the constant ringing of messages.
She clicked on the screen impatiently. Other than messages from the class group, there were also a few from her classmate, Dorothy Smith.
"Yvonne, Do you know that Stanley is back?" Dorothy asked her.
Yvonne’s heart missed a beat when she read the message. She immediately replied, "Are you talking about Stanley Levingston who are from our previous session?"
Dorothy persuaded her, "Yes, I heard that he was just transferred back to Tomaville Hospital. Yvonne, maybe he will also attend the reunion. Let’s go together!"
She sent an excited emoji.
Yvonne knew that Dorothy liked Stanley.
Speaking of it, not only Dorothy, but most of the girls in the medical school had ever been in love with Stanley Levingston in secret or in public.
Of course, Yvonne was also included at that time.
However, compared to Dorothy’s obvious affection, Yvonne’s affection was much more reserved.
She had never told anyone that she liked Stanley, including Dorothy, who lived in the same dormitory with her.
She admitted that she was a little hesitant when Dorothy mentioned Stanley.
However, it was only a momentary vacillate, and she quickly regained her rationality.
She clearly knew that an outstanding person like Stanley would never pay attention to an ordinary person like her.
In that case, there was no need to bother him.
Thinking of this, Yvonne rejected Dorothy’s invitation.
Her top priority now was to move her home and then find a stable job. She would return to the normality of a nine to five routine.
With that thought in mind, Yvonne turned off the message and logged back into the rental website.
When Janice knew that Yvonne was looking for a rental house, it was already a week later.
...
Janice called Yvonne immediately. "Yvonne, are you renting a house?"
On the other end of the line, Yvonne was not surprised to hear Janice mention this matter.
On that day, she met James while going to see the house with agent.
She had never been good at lying, so when James asked her what happened, she told him the truth.
Hearing that, James instantly said that he had a spare house so that she could live in it.
But she refused.
She was not a person who liked to be ambiguous with others. The reason why she agreed to be friends with him before was that she didn’t want to be entangled with him.
And now that she had made it clear, she would no longer have anything to do with him.
Therefore, she thought that Janice must have heard the news from James. She said, "Yes, I want to change a new environment."
"Then you can move to my house. You know, I have a house in the lakeside apartment, which has always been vacant. Why don’t you move there first?" Janice suggested.
Hearing her words, Yvonne remembered the house. She had sent Janice back before.
The house was very good in terms of environment and location.
Most importantly, it met her residence requirements.
Yvonne thought for a moment and said, "Okay, rent it to me. I’ll pay you double the market price."
However, Janice said reproachfully, "I know that you’re a wealthy woman, but what should I do? I just have a rich husband, and I am not short of money. So dear, please get back your rental fee and exchange it for something else."
Yvonne was amused by her serious tone. "Then, my friend, what do you want me to trade for?"
"I haven’t decided yet. I’ll tell you when I think about it." Janice replied, setting a suspense.
Yvonne chuckled and agreed, "Okay, then I will accept your kindness." The next day, Yvonne moved in the new house with her luggage.
The house had already been cleaned by the cleaner Janice had hired, so she directly moved in with her bag.
That night, in order to thank Janice for her timely assistance, she invited the couple to dinner.
In a private cuisine, Yvonne looked at Janice and Christopher sitting opposite her and said, "It’s my treat tonight. You can eat whatever you want. Enjoy yourselves!"
Christopher didn’t say anything, but Janice opened the menu and teased, "Don’t worry. I won’t be ceremonious to you. Tonight, I’ll lose myself to eat."
As soon as she finished speaking, Christopher disagreed, "No, you can’t. You’re pregnant now. You can’t overeat. You have to eat more frequent but smaller meals."
After saying that, he took the menu from her hand.
Janice was a bit depressed. "I didn’t say to overeating, I just want to eat what I like."
"That won’t work either. Now you need a combination of nutrients, not too many similar substances, and you need a diversified diet. "Christopher said.
"Oh my god! Why do you have so many rules? We’re just coming out to eat, don’t worry so much." Janice complained.
Christopher felt a little helpless. He frowned and looked at Yvonne. "Doctor White, what do you think?"
Yvonne thought to herself, "Please don’t show your affection in front of me, I’m still a bachelorette."
However, she still tried to persuade Janice. "Just listen to your husband. What he said makes sense."
Seeing that Yvonne was on Christopher’s side, Janice twitched her lips and reluctantly said, "Well, I’ll listen to you."
During the meal, Christopher was considerate throughout and took good care of Janice.
