Chapter 1522: Chapter 558: The Male Supporting Character Who Persuades Goodness (Part 2)
However, not only does Ye Beibei not feel grateful to Ms. Qiu, she actually harbors deep resentment towards her.
The reason is simple: back then, her real father divorced not because the relationship had broken down, but because a third party came between them.
And this third party was none other than the arrogant and noble Ms. Qiu.
Actually, there’s no need for a detailed investigation into the truth of what happened back then; just looking at the age difference between Ye Beibei and Ye Muwan tells the story.
Ye Muwan is the daughter of Ms. Qiu and Ye Cheeng. If they had been in a normal relationship and married, then Ye Muwan would at least be one year younger than Ye Beibei.
In reality, Ye Muwan is only six months younger than Ye Beibei.
And when Ye Cheeng divorced his wife, Ye Beibei was just three months old.
Which means, when Ye Cheeng was still a married man, he had already gotten involved with Ms. Qiu, and Ms. Qiu was pregnant.
The reason Ye Cheeng was so eager to force a divorce back then may well have been to legitimize the baby Ms. Qiu was carrying.
The daughter was only three months old when the divorce was forced upon them. Ye Cheeng’s ex-wife, Chen Beilei, was a pampered only daughter.
She couldn’t handle such a blow, and coupled with some post-partum depression, she fell ill immediately after the divorce.
For the following years, her health never recovered.
Those years on the sickbed, she often resented Ye Cheeng and Qiu Wanting, the wretched pair.
Ye Beibei grew up listening to the grievances of her parents.
Therefore, deep down, she also despised her Chen Shimei father and the mistress who could tear families apart.
When Ye Beibei was thirteen, her maternal grandparents died in a car accident. Her real mother Chen Beilei had been weak, and after this blow, she fell ill and passed away.
Ye Beibei was still a minor and required a guardian.
The residents’ committee and police station found her real father, Ye Cheeng.
Ye Cheeng did not have much affection for this daughter.
If he really cared, he wouldn’t have left her with his ex-wife back then.
Let alone, after not interacting for more than a decade, Ye Beibei was no more than a stranger with a blood relation to him.
But despite his dislike, he had to be mindful of public image.
After all, Ye Cheeng was no longer who he was before; he was now a Prince Consort of a wealthy family and had started his own business with the help of his wife.
Outside, people respectfully called him "President Ye"!
As a person with status, naturally he couldn’t ruin his reputation.
And Ms. Qiu, regardless of her intentions, not only didn’t oppose but was very proactive towards Ye Beibei.
Originally, Ye Beibei was attending a public middle school. Though it wasn’t top-notch, it didn’t have all those messy issues either.
Yet, Ms. Qiu generously suggested: "Let Beibei come to Hongde; she can accompany Muwan. Beixuan is in the high school division and can look out for her."
Ye Muwan is Ye Beibei’s half-sister, and Ye Beixuan is Ye Beibei’s biological brother.
Ye Beixuan is three years older than Ye Beibei; when the parents divorced, the brother stayed with the father and the sister with the mother.
These siblings, though biologically closest, were separated from a young age. More than a decade had passed and the bond wasn’t deep.
To Ye Beixuan, Ye Beibei, who shared the same mother, wasn’t as close as Ye Muwan, the half-sister.
During the parents’ divorce, he was young. Perhaps Ms. Qiu, out of "love for all that belonged to the house" or perhaps other intentions.
Upon finding that her hard-earned newborn was a girl, she showed great concern for Ye Beixuan.
Not saying she treated him better than her own flesh and blood, but she did treat him "as her own."
And Ye Cheeng and the Ye Family, in pursuit of family harmony, deliberately concealed the fact of Ye Cheeng’s remarriage.
From childhood to adulthood, Ye Beixuan lived under the assumption that his parents were the original couple and he was Ms. Qiu’s son.
It was Ye Beibei’s appearance that shattered Ye Beixuan’s dream.
Ye Beibei tearfully confessed to her brother: "Brother, it was all because of Qiu Wanting. She seduced our dad, causing our parents to divorce!"
"If it hadn’t been for the forced divorce, our mom wouldn’t have fallen ill. If our mom hadn’t fallen ill, our grandparents wouldn’t have had to run around making money at their age..."
They wouldn’t have gotten into the car accident during rush hour, dying together.
If the grandparents hadn’t died, mom wouldn’t have been so overwhelmed, worsening her illness and eventually passing away.
If mom hadn’t passed away, she wouldn’t have become an orphan!
