You're such a fool!
These three words were like a powerful atomic bomb being dropped on the dining hall of the Ye family.
The noisy scene suddenly quietened down, and the lively discussion instantly stopped.
Everyone looked at Ye Rou with astonishment, looking at the girl who said "you're such a fool" to her father.
The Ye family was a traditional family. Like other families in Swallow Dock, they all implemented the patriarchal system. The juniors had to be respectful when speaking to the elders. Even if the elders said something wrong, they couldn't refute them directly.
What was Ye Rou doing?
No one said a word. They even tried to suppress their breathing.
Everyone stared at Ye Rou, at Ye Daowen, who had been countered by Ye Rou.
Ye Daowen was the patriarch of the Ye family. He represented the dignity and face of the Ye family. He represented the Ye family's attitude towards a certain person or thing.
Now, what kind of punishment was he going to give to Ye Rou, who had disobeyed him?
Ye Daowen's expression was extremely gloomy. Because of his anger, the veins on his fists bulged.
His eyes were fixed on Ye Rou. He stared at the daughter he had always treated as a treasure.
Just now, what did she say to him?
Ye Daowen wasn't a man who hadn't experienced many trials and tribulations, and because of his long years of practicing martial arts, his temperament and self-restraint could be considered first class. However, being slapped in the face by his own daughter in front of so many people, he still had a hard time accepting it.
How did that sentence come about? Only the person you love can hurt you the most. That was exactly what he was feeling at this moment.
"Ye Rou …" Ye Daowen tried hard to calm the anger in his heart. He tried his best to make his voice dignified and gentle. "What did you mean by those words just now?"
"I'm saying that you can't stop me." Ye Rou's expression didn't change at all. On the contrary, one could see her calmness and sincerity in her eyes. She wasn't hypocritical, and she hated hypocrisy. She thought of this and said it directly. "In the past, you couldn't stop me. Even if I wasn't a Heavenly Dao realm expert back then, when I wanted to marry Fang Yan, I would definitely marry Fang Yan. As long as he was willing to marry me. "
"Now, I'm a Heavenly Dao realm expert. I have greater power and autonomy — if I want to marry Fang Yan, I will marry Fang Yan. This was following his own temperament and obeying the rules of the Heavenly Dao. Even the heavens won't stop me, let alone you — "
"I'm your father, and you don't consider my attitude at all?"
"I've thought about it and I've been troubled by it. It's also because I've considered your attitude and the Ye family's attitude that I've decided to hide the fact that I've succeeded in climbing the Heavenly Axiom —"
"Gentle, don't get too excited." Ye Daoxuan wanted to smooth things over between the father and daughter. He was worried that their relationship would become even more strained, and it would be difficult to clean up when the time came. "Your father is doing this for your own good. He hopes that you can consider the position and attitude of the Ye family."
"It's for my own good," Ye Rou said. "I also hope that he can consider my feelings and my future. He's my father. Isn't that what he's supposed to do? What kind of father would let his daughter sacrifice for the family without caring about his daughter's feelings? "
"It's not that your father doesn't consider you, but the Ye family's position and your choice are contradictory —"
"So I have to compromise and turn a blind eye to everything that the man I like has encountered?" The corners of Ye Rou's mouth curled up as she revealed a mocking smile. "If that's the case, what's the point of me climbing the Heavenly Axiom? I can't even abide by the human path, and I still want to borrow the power of the Heavenly Axiom — isn't that going against the heavens? "
Ye Daoling understood Ye Rourou's character. He knew that there was no way to discuss this matter today. He smiled and said, "Okay, okay. Rourou has her own considerations. The Ye Family also has their own position. We need to discuss this matter in the long run. There is no need to rush it now. Regardless, today is a joyous day for our Ye family. Rou has succeeded in climbing the Heavenly Axiom, and she's the youngest Heavenly Axiom expert in Swallow Dock and even the entire Hua Xia. Our Ye family has a reason to celebrate. "
Ye Daoling looked at the Patriarch and said, "Patriarch, shall we have dinner?"
The Patriarch didn't wish to see the family's internal strife either, so he nodded and said, "Let's have dinner."
All sorts of exotic delicacies surged onto the dining table like flowing water. Jar after jar of Shaodaozi were broken, emitting a rich fragrance of alcohol. The atmosphere in the hall turned lively once again, but everyone felt that the atmosphere was a little off.
Qin Qiang sat in the middle of the Qin family's juniors. He raised the teacup in front of him and said with a smile, "Brothers, have you ever gone back and told your parents that the Qin family can't save Fang Yan this time? Who is Fang Yan? He has nothing to do with our Qin family, so why would our Qin family risk our lives for an insignificant person? "
"Can we not say it? But it's useless even if we say it. That woman rejected the Jiang family's settlement agreement. She's clearly helping that punk — "
"You can't say that the punk has nothing to do with our Qin family. He's the man Qin Yitian likes. Qin Yitian usually puts on a cold face in front of us. She doesn't think anything of us brothers, but she's dead set on a wild man outside. She clearly knows that he already has a girlfriend, yet she's willing to be his mistress. Doesn't she have any shame?"
Qin Qiang waited for everyone to vent for a while before he rubbed the rim of his teacup and analyzed the situation. "This is a huge matter. It's a matter of life and death for our Qin family. I've asked around at the Jiang family's side. They are bent on killing Fang Yan this time. And I heard that it was personally decided by the Jiang family's Patriarch, and it was handed over to the Jiang family, who has been in the limelight recently. Tell me, for our Qin family to wrestle with them at this moment, if we don't control it well, the two families will end up in a life-and-death situation. Why? For benefits? But even if we get rid of the Jiang family, how much benefits can we get? Who knows, at that time, our Qin family's strength will be greatly damaged, and the Huang family, Li family, and Chen family will take advantage of us. "
"We and the Jiang family usually mind our own business. It's not that we don't have small fights, but that's only courtesy demands reciprocity. This time, the seriousness of the matter is extraordinary. If the Qin family really goes to war with the Jiang family, those two women will be the sinners of the Qin family. But at that time, will it be too late for us to complain? We can only stop it before it happens. "
Qin Qiang had ten thousand reasons to hate Fang Yan. Of course, he hated Li Xinnian and Qin Yitian who stood behind Fang Yan even more.
The conflict with Jun Xiepu last time was actually a flash point of his dissatisfaction with the two women who controlled the Qin family's power.
Whether it was Li Xinnian or the new generation of Qin Yitian, they were both rare business prodigies that only appeared once in a hundred years. Because of this, some people even joked that because the Qin family's women took advantage of the Qin family's Fengshui, the men of the Qin family were all idiots.
In all honesty, was Qin Qiang an idiot? Take a closer look, how could he be an idiot?
This time, Li Xinnian refused the gift from the Jiang family, causing a huge split within the Qin family. Qin Qiang and the other like-minded people saw the opportunity and wanted to make a big move. It would be best if they could push down Li Xinnian and Qin Yitian.
"Qin Qiang, you have the most ideas among us. Tell us what to do, we'll all follow you." Qin Yi shouted.
"That's right. We don't have much strength. We can't even say a few words before the elders in the family scolded us. I think we should stick together. "Qin Guan echoed.
"In any case, I don't want to go to war with the Jiang family, and I don't want to go to war with the Jiang family for an outsider."
Qin Qiang waved his hand. "It's not that there's no way. But as Qin Guan said, we don't have the strength to fight alone. As you all know, the Qin family is divided into two factions. One is for peace, and they agree to the Jiang family's agreement in exchange for all of Chao Yan's benefits. The other faction is for war. Although they didn't explicitly say that they want to go to war with the Jiang family, the Qin family rejected the Jiang family's offer. Isn't it clear that they want to go to war? Under the control and influence of those two women, my father is currently contacting the uncles in the family, as well as some of the direct descendants of the family who hold important positions in various businesses. He's prepared to force the Jiang family to abdicate. Force that woman to abdicate. As long as she abdicates, the conflict between the Qin family and the Jiang family will be easily resolved. "
"I support you." Qin Guan nodded. "I'll also convince my father and grandfather to support you."
"I support you as well. Let the woman go back to nursing her child. If Qin Yitian really likes Fang Yan, he can marry into the Fang family. "
"It's time for the men of the Qin family to stand up and take responsibility. The vision of women is still too shallow."
Qin Qiang smiled vaguely as he looked at his companions in the family who had been incited by him.
"Fang Yan, you're just an insignificant target. Our true targets are those two women. Their existence is too dazzling, and we're too embarrassed. As a man of a family like the Qin family, you should be able to understand our situation, right? "
"But, who told them to like you? Many times, liking someone is a mistake. "
