Cheng Yue never expected his daughter to be so considerate and kind. He was extremely surprised. His eyes couldn’t help but light up. He was excited and asked carefully and impatiently, “Are you really willing?”
Cheng Yi smiled sweetly. “Of course.”
She had already thought it through. Instead of letting He Jing stay in the He family to conquer He Ning and He Sui, bringing her under her nose was better.
In any case, with Ye Shuping around, He Jing wouldn’t have a good time, and she could also please Cheng Yue.
To ensure a complete victory, it didn’t seem like a big deal to let He Jing continue to live a wealthy life for a few days. She wanted to see if He Jing could still stay in the Cheng family without her identity as a daughter.
Cheng Yue couldn’t stop smiling. He quickly called the butler over and asked him to contact He Jing.
Ye Shuping was extremely displeased upon hearing this.
She was about to cry from the stupidity of her innocent daughter.
No one could lure a wolf into the house like this.
She said without thinking, “No. I don’t agree. He Jing is no longer a member of the Cheng family. She can’t stay in the Cheng family.”
Cheng Yue looked at his beloved wife and felt a headache coming on. He said earnestly, “It’s not Jingjing’s fault that she was carried away wrongly. After all, we’ve been in a relationship for more than ten years. Can’t you be more forgiving?
Ye Shuping was furious. “Forgive? Cheng Yue, I’m telling you, I won’t be forgiving! How have we treated He Jing all these years? We’ve provided her with good food, drinks, and clothes. How has the He family treated Xiao Yi? They made Xiao Yi drop out of school to support her brothers. Let me tell you, this matter will never be solved.”
Cheng Yue said helplessly, “But Jingjing is innocent.”
Ye Shuping was hysterical. She didn’t listen to him at all. “I don’t care if she’s innocent or not. She has to pay back what she owes the Cheng family!”
As the argument escalated, Cheng Yi quickly stopped them. “Dad, Mom, you’ve misunderstood. The He family has been very good to me. They made me drop out of school because of my poor academic performance and I was ranked at the bottom among my brothers. Moreover, the He family can’t afford my tuition fees anymore. They said that as long as my eldest brother graduates and earns money, they will continue to support my education…”
Ye Shuping thought that Cheng Yi was putting in a good word for the He family. She grabbed her hand. “Xiao Yi, I know you’re kind. You don’t have to find an excuse to exonerate the He family.”
Cheng Yi insisted, “It’s true.”
Ye Shuping still didn’t believe it. She had seen too many people who favored boys over girls. Each one was more ridiculous than the last. If what she said was true, why didn’t the youngest drop out of school? What was the big deal about being two years late in primary school?
Little did she know that even He Xiaoguo had always been ranked first in the class. He was often showered with praises and awards.
Cheng Yi was the only one in the family. She had failed a few exams. Despite attempting an arts-focused education path, her grades were still insufficient for university admission.
Cheng Yi didn’t want to reveal her true academic struggles. She hugged Ye
Shuping’s arm pitifully and shook it. “Mom, please.”
Despite being a usually dominant figure, Ye Shuping found it difficult to resist the united front of her husband and daughter. With a determined heart, she pushed Cheng Yi’s hand away and exclaimed in frustration, “Alright then. But if
He Jing bullies you, don’t come crying to me.”
Cheng Yi smiled, “No, Mom, it won’t happen.”
Cheng Yue felt relieved.
The matter was settled. Cheng Yue instructed the butler to visit the He family in person to buy more gifts and speak politely…
He Jing had a bad temper. She must still be angry after being kicked out of the Cheng family by Ye Shuping. She had to be coaxed..
