Ye Chen was secretly shocked as soon as he said that. "Dad, how did you find out?"
In reality, he had been prepared to go to Beijing since a long time ago. However, Ye Wen's engagement party had delayed him for a few days, and he had yet to come up with an excuse.
Since his identity had been exposed a little, he would tell Ye Hai even if he did not ask.
"Because I know you!"
Ye Hai put the smile on his face away and said in all seriousness, "You like to hide things and shoulder everything alone. However, you've exposed something today. I won't talk about your identity.
I know that you're going far away from the fact that you're giving us a car and getting Wenwen to work at your company. If it's a trip like last time, you'll definitely tell us. However, you didn't this time … "
Ye Hai could not go on as he spoke to this point.
"That's right."
Ye Chen nodded and said, "I'm going to Beijing tomorrow. I've been separated from Yuhan for five years. It's been three years since Mengmeng saw her mother."
He looked at Ye Hai rather nervously when he was done speaking. "Dad, y-you're not going to stop me, are you?"
"What's the point of me stopping you? I've been nothing in my life and I'm not ambitious. I didn't ask much of you in the past. "
Ye Hai fell into silence for a few seconds and mocked himself all of a sudden, "But who asked you to win the heart of the Su family's young mistress? You even gave birth to this girl, Mengmeng. "
Ye Chen was silent.
Ye Hai walked to the cabinet and took out a bottle of white wine. He poured a glass for each of them. "Your mom and I are old. Our biggest wish is for you to marry an ordinary woman and give birth to a fat grandson for us. We'll live a peaceful life together."
He passed a glass of wine to Ye Chen as he spoke to this point. After the father and son clinked their glasses, he gulped down the wine and coughed.
"Your mom and I couldn't accept it when you brought Yuhan home in the beginning."
Ye Chen took a sip and listened quietly.
"We couldn't accept it because Yuhan is too beautiful and outstanding. Your mom and I thought that you don't deserve her.
"Your mother and I panicked especially after we found out about Yuhan's family background because she's the daughter of a wealthy family. She's been pampered since she was young. How can she afford to be poor?"
"However, the truth has proven that your mother and I are wrong. Yuhan is a good girl. Ever since she came to our house, she has been eating simple meals without any complaints. She even fought to do the housework at home. She's very filial to your mother and I." "You're right.
Ye Hai drank another glass and blushed. "I discussed it with your mother later on. We had to get you and Yuhan together no matter what. Even if I had to sacrifice my face and kowtow to the Su family's door, we had to make this marriage happen. However, you disappeared."
"Yes, you disappeared. You disappeared for a whole five years. In the month after you disappeared, your mother and I almost went crazy because of you. If Yuhan hadn't found out that she was pregnant, your mother and I would have almost committed suicide." "That's right.
Ye Hai slammed the wine glass hard on the table. He stretched his arm out as if he was going to slap Ye Chen. However, he could not do it eventually. "You're unfilial to your parents!"
Ye Chen knelt on the ground and said nothing.
"A year after you disappeared, Mengmeng was born. There was still no news about you. Your mother and I thought you were dead, but Yuhan was always at my house."
Ye Hai did not wake him up. He proceeded to speak, "Your mother and I thought that we shouldn't ruin Yuhan's happiness because of you. Therefore, we persuaded her to give up on you. However, Yuhan was determined. She said that even if you were really dead, she would take care of us and raise Mengmeng."
Slap!
Ye Hai slapped Ye Chen directly. It was a hard slap. "You're unfilial because we didn't teach you well. However, you don't deserve to be a husband. You didn't do your duty to your wife and girlfriend. You must slap her!"
Although Ye Chen could have dodged the slap, he did not. Instead, he removed his physical strength.
"After Mengmeng was born, the family's burden became heavier. Milk powder and diapers cost a lot of money every month. Moreover, this girl was weak. She would have headaches and fever every now and then. It would cost a lot of money to go to the hospital. Because of that, Yuhan went out to look for a job before she even finished her confinement."
Ye Hai rubbed his eyes and said while sobbing, "Your mother and I saw that and felt sorry for her. We tried to persuade her many times, but she was stubborn. You have no idea how much your mother and I hated you back then. We also hated ourselves for being useless.
"When Mengmeng was two, Yuhan performed well in the company. Her performance was high, and her salary was higher too. The family's burden was getting lighter day by day.
"Just when your mother and I thought everything was going well, the Su family sent people. There were three of them."
Fear and rage flashed through Ye Hai's face as he spoke to this point. "They snatched Mengmeng, who had just turned two, from Yuhan. They threatened Yuhan with your mother, me, and Mengmeng. They said that if Yuhan didn't go back with them, they would kill your mother and me. They would even throw Mengmeng to her death."
Piak!
Ye Hai slapped Ye Chen again. Ye Chen removed his physical strength from the slap, and he felt a burning sensation on his face.
"When our family needed you the most, you weren't there. When Yuhan needed you the most, you weren't there too. It was because you were a toad lusting after a swan's flesh. You overestimated yourself.
"In the end, Yuhan left with them. There was no news of her after she left. God knows how much that girl had suffered. Soon, Mengmeng was diagnosed with leukemia …"
Ye Hai broke down completely as he spoke to this point.
Ye Chen remained silent, but he was filled with guilt. Yes, he did not deserve to be a son, a husband, or a father.
However, he did not want all of that to happen.
If the Su family had not knocked him out and tossed him into the river, he would not have traveled to the cultivation world by chance. He would not have disappeared for five years.
He did not regret being with Yuhan. He only hated himself for not being capable back then and underestimating the Su family's cruelty.
"Forget it. It's useless to talk about this."
Ye Hai drank the entire bottle of white wine until there was nothing left. Subsequently, he stood up and his body swayed. He smashed the bottle onto the ground and stared straight at Ye Chen with his drunk eyes.
"I've been a coward my entire life. I've had enough of it!
Go. Even if you have to turn the world upside down, you have to ask for me if there's justice in this world. Is power more powerful or a favor more powerful?! "
After saying that, he staggered back to his room.
He staggered back to his room and said softly as he walked, "I must bring Yuhan back. As for the Su family …"
A strong wind blew, causing the curtains to flutter.
"It's windy. It's going to rain …"
As a series of rustling noises came, Ye Chen heard his father snoring on the bed and his mother complaining.
Ye Chen lifted his head and looked in the direction of Beijing.
'Yuhan, I've brought our daughter to bring you here!
That's right!
It's going to rain!
It's the best to kill on a rainy day! '
