Chapter 4 - Yousre A Very Scary Person (1/2)
Just as Ye Jie walked inside his family house, he could hear the loud argument between his younger brother, Ye Jun and his father, Ye Kang. He sighed as he shook his head a little prior to strutting inside the opulent Chinese villa.
When Ye Jie came back from Ming Qu's wedding 6 months ago, he tried to contact Lu Yuhan plenty of times but she ignored him and finally, moved to Country E without even informing him.
Ye Jie decided to come clean to his family and as expected, everyone was worried for him but they understood his pain and didn't push him for details. For that, he was really thankful to everyone. His mother, Zhou Ning even said, "I'll find a much better girl for my precious son."
Their love was overwhelming for him because they always embraced his short-comings with open arms. The thought of their warmth caused a soft smile to appear on his face.
"I'm not going to marry her and that's my final decision, dad," Ye Jun bellowed at his father while throwing daggers with his glare.
"You were fine with the arranged marriage before. What's the problem now?" Father Ye, asked while he held his head. Mother Ye held Father Ye's arm and brought him to sit on the sofa as she offered him water. He took the water with gratitude in his eyes.
Seeing his father's deteriorating health, Ye Jun softened his voice, "Dad, I agreed before because the marriage was going to be with Xu Liqing, the younger daughter of the Xu family. But now, they want me to marry Xu Mey, the eldest daughter. That Xu Mey is infamous because of how cowardly and timid she is. I can't spend my life with someone like that. She's a useless wretch."
Father Kang patted his son's head as he said, "I heard about that son. But Xu Liqing fell in love with someone else. This marriage between Ye's and Xu's was decided by your grandfather, if you'll say no then how'll I face your grandfather in death?"
Ye Jie listened to the entire conversation and he understood the gist. "If they are replacing the younger daughter with the eldest one then we can do the same," Ye Jie suggested while giving a hug to his mother.
"Brother, you want to take my place?" Ye Jun asked unsurely. He was most familiar with his brother's nature and knowing him, it was inevitable to not know how much he loved his last girlfriend.
"Xiao Jie, you don't have to do this," Mother Ye said while looking at her son lovingly.
"Mom, I'm already 30. I have to marry someone. So, why not Xu Mey or whatever her name is."
"Thank you, son! Father will always be grateful for saving my face," Father Ye hugged his eldest son with a warm smile on his elderly face.
