Ye Cheng ignored his parents' pointless questioning and directly asked Ye Xin, "Are the reporters
making things difficult for you?"
Ye Xin, who was similarly disappointed by her parents' useless bickering, sobbed upon hearing her
brother's direct question. She said through her tears, "I've been pestered by the reporters the entire
morning. They kept asking me how I feel; how do they think I feel?"
Ye Cheng's heart softened when he saw the tears streaming down Ye Xin's face. He said in an attempt
to coax her, "Don't worry. I'll arrange for two media outlets to do an exclusive interview with you
tomorrow. We'll find a team to shoot the magazine covers for you as well, and we'll address this
matter."
Ye Xin's tears did not stop as she asked, "Brother, why does Mu Chen treat me this way?"
Ye Cheng did not respond to Ye Xin's question. As a man, he knew Mu Chen had never been in love
with Ye Xin. From the very beginning, Mu Chen had no romantic intentions toward Ye Xin at all.
However, since he was Ye Xin's brother, he would naturally take his sister's side and put the blame on
Mu Chen. In his opinion, if Mu Chen did not like his sister, Mu Chen should not have led his sister on.
He was not certain he could help his sister with obtaining Mu Chen's heart so he could only comfort
her.. "Ye Xin, you deserve a much better man."
"No, brother! I want Mu Chen! Get rid of that woman! Can't you think of a way to make her disappear?"
Ye Xin said venomously.
Ye Cheng was stunned by Ye Xin's vicious words.
Ye Xin said through gritted teeth, "Brother, I don't care what method you use, but you have to make her
disappear. I want Song Ning to disappear from M City. Mu Chen is mine. I don't care whose daughter
she is. No one can take Mu Chen away from me!"
Upon hearing these words, Ye He, who had not been paying attention to the start of the conversation,
interjected, "Who took Mu Chen away? Who's so capable?"
Gao Wen said indignantly, "Are you even listening at all?"
Ye He ignored his wife and directed his question to Ye Cheng and Ye Xin instead. "When did such a
thing happen? Why didn't I know about it? My precious daughter, tell daddy why did Mu Chen break up
with you? Why is it so difficult for you to hold onto a man? I've been telling you to settle down and get
married, but you refused to listen. Look, now the chicken has flown the coop!"
Ye Xin who was filled with grievances with nowhere to vent them felt even more aggrieved when she
heard these words. She stomped her feet and cried out before she ran back into her room, "I don't
care! If Song Ning doesn't die, then I'll die instead!"
The three people in the living room were stunned upon hearing these words.
Gao Wen glared at Ye He fiercely before she asked Ye Cheng, "Son, did you hear that? What should
we do now? In the past, we could've made a move on Song Ning. However, what can we do now that
she's been revealed to be the Eldest Young Miss of the Ning family? How did the good relationship
between Ye Xin and Mu Chen turn out this way?"
Ye Cheng sighed. "Mom, things are already like this, what else can we do? You should speak to your
sister and advise her to give up on Mu Chen." All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Gao Wen's expression changed to one that was brimming with dissatisfaction when she heard Ye
Cheng's words. "How can I do that? Ye Cheng, why aren't you helping your sister? How can you utter
such heartless words? Previously, I asked you to invite Mu Chen out so we can have a proper
discussion with him, but you didn't even do anything. You couldn't even do your sister such a small
favor. Is this how a brother should act?"
Ye Cheng's face paled slightly upon hearing his mother's accusatory words.
Ye He stepped forward and gently pushed Ye Cheng to the side before he said, "How can you blame
your son for this matter? Don't tell me you want him to kidnap Mu Chen? If you ask me, I'd say this is
all your fault. You're always trying to put on airs. I told you to establish a good relationship with the old
lady from the Mu family, but you're not willing. Isn't it all your fault that the old lady has taken a fancy to
a girl from another family?"
Gao Wen was so angered by her husband's words that she had difficulty breathing for a moment.
Meanwhile, Ye Cheng grabbed his coat that he had thrown on the couch earlier and turned around to
leave without saying another word.
Upon seeing this, Gao Wen shrieked, "Where are you going?"
Without turning back, Ye Cheng said, "I'm going to look for Mu Chen."
...
After Ye Cheng got into the car, he sat in a daze with his hands on the steering wheel. Naturally, he
could not go look for Mu Chen. The Ye family was not so influential where they could force Mu Chen
into giving up on the person he loved.
After a moment, he brought his phone out and played the video of the press conference to watch it
again. He was disappointed that Mu Chen and Song Ning's marriage had been cemented so firmly.
Moreover, the two of them were clearly so in love that it would be impossible to separate them.
Jealousy welled up in his heart as he looked at Song Ning who was standing next to Mu Chen's side
obediently. Why did the heavens give everything good to Mu Chen? It was so unfair. How could only
one misstep bring these two people together?
Ye Cheng slammed his hands against the steering wheel in frustration, causing the horn to sound
loudly just like how he was roaring in his heart.
Since he was young, he had always been compared to Mu Chen. Ever since they attended
kindergarten, he had always been inferior to Mu Chen. His desire to defeat Mu Chen was like a
poisonous seed that had taken root in his heart and was impossible to remove. It had become his inner
demon.
