Chapter 313 - Chapter 313: Chapter Three-Hundred and Thirteen: Culprit (2/2)
Shi Nian frowned as he put down his phone. “Why is Yun Liu always causing trouble?!”
Yun Nan remarked, “Don’t worry about her. The biter gets bit; she’ll get her comeuppance! Let’s visit Fang Xi after dinner and relieve Ye Kun from his shift. He’s been eating and living in the hospital for more than half a month. The hospital’s about to become his home at this rate.”
Shi Nian nodded. He was at first surprised by Ye Kun’s deep and unwavering love, and then he admired it. He would do his best to help Ye Kun, whether in business or life.
Yun Nan sighed, “I didn’t expect Ye Kun’s family to accept Ye Kun and Fang Xi’s relationship. I thought they would be as heartless as the Xi family.” After saying that, she realized she had misspoken. After all, the Xi and Shi families were old friends, and Shi Nian and Xi Cheng had been good friends since they were kids.
Shi Nian didn’t mind. After all, the fault lies with Xi Cheng in this matter. He told Yun Nan, “The Ye family’s eldest son, Ye Tang, is my big brother’s best friend. That’s why Ye Kun would come to ask for my brother’s help when there’s something that his brother, Ye Tang, wouldn’t let him off for. Ye Tang took over the entire Ye family when he was very young. His situation is different from mine; my father, big brother, and grandfather are still around. Although I also took over my family’s businesses at a young age, I didn’t have to face as many obstacles as Ye Tang did.”
“It’s not easy for Ye Tang to handle all the different factions in the Ye clan and care for his mother and little brother alone. Ye Kun may complain and argue with his brother, but it’s just talk. He respects his older brother very much and knows his brother’s difficulties, so he’s always thinking about sharing Ye Tang’s burdens.”
Yun Nan nodded vigorously. “That’s great! If only Fang Xi could wake up and tie the knot with Ye Kun. A supportive and caring family like Ye Kun’s would definitely be able to heal the wound in Fang Xi’s heart.”
Shi Nian hesitated before stating, “I heard from Xi Cheng that, during the years they were together, Fang Xi never used his money.”
Yun Nan’s face darkened the moment she heard Xi Cheng’s name. “I hate his type the most. He thinks he’s so great just because he has money. He thinks he bought Fang Xi’s seven years of youth! As if that’s something money can buy!”
“He never cherished Fang Xi’s love, unashamedly wasting away Fang Xi’s youth because he thought he’d bought it, and when he realized that wasn’t the case—that she didn’t take any of his money—he started to whine and moan, blaming everything and everyone but himself. Then, he puts on a heartbroken act for others to see, as if he were the victim in all this. Hah! Such belated affection is meaningless!”
Shi Nian reached out and stroked Yun Nan’s head. “Alright, don’t be angry. Xi Cheng is indeed quite messy when it comes to relationships. No one can help him with this kind of thing—he has to make his own choice.”
“I wish him and Miss Lin Yu a long life together!” Yun Nan said huffily. “Those two deserve each other. I hope he’ll marry her and not break the hearts of good women out there anymore! What happened to Fang Xi is a cautionary lesson.”
Shi Nian couldn’t help but inwardly sigh deeply, thinking, ‘Yun Nan’s worldview is a little too naive and simple..’
