As Ye Zhen listened to Mother Ye talk about what she would do in the future, her heart did not waver at all.
Favoritism had become a habit, so she no longer felt that she was being biased.
As for Mother Ye, perhaps she really regretted it, or perhaps she really wanted to make it up to Ye Zhen, but Ye Qing was like the palm of her hand, while Ye Zhen was like the back of her hand. Both were flesh and blood, but there was more flesh in the palm of the hand than the back of the hand.
Seeing Ye Zhen's silent expression, Father Ye was the first to react. Mother Ye was still rambling on about Ye Qing's difficulties. Father Ye tugged at Mother Ye's sleeve and coughed loudly.
Mother Ye finally snapped back to her senses.
Ye Zhen's face was expressionless. She belatedly realized that she had said something wrong.
"Zhen Zhen, don't listen to your mother's nonsense. She's always been like this. Ever since you were young, she would always panic whenever something happened between you and your sister. She's just anxious now, so don't take it to heart. If this endorsement deal is really difficult, then forget it. This is Ye Qing's own choice. She has to bear the consequences herself, and no one can share the burden with her."
Mother Ye was unhappy with Father Ye's words. She glared at Father Ye and said, "What do you mean by she has to bear the consequences herself, and no one can share the burden with her? Zhen Zhen is now Mrs. Lu. She has everything and doesn't lack anything, so I don't have to worry about her. But Qing Qing is different. Isn't she your daughter? Don't you feel bad for her when you see her suffer in the entertainment industry? "
"I tried to persuade her not to enter the entertainment industry, but she didn't listen to me. What could I do?"
"That's because you're useless!" Mother Ye suddenly stood up. "Ye Zhenting, if it weren't for you being so useless as a father, would she be able to endure hardships in the entertainment industry?"
"Enough!" Mother Ye said this in public. It was a blatant slap to Father Ye's face. "Since you think it's hard, then come back. If I can afford to raise you, then I can afford to raise her as well!"
Father Ye rarely got into a fight with Mother Ye in public. He only yelled at her because he felt embarrassed. Mother Ye had spoken too quickly and regretted it after she finished speaking. She calmed herself down and sat to the side without saying a word.
"Zhen Zhen, don't take it to heart. Your Mother is just anxious too. If you were in her shoes, she would do the same."
Ye Zhen had no intention to discuss this with them. After all, it had nothing to do with her. She just didn't want to listen to the high-sounding words of Father Ye and Mother Ye anymore. "Mom, if you are really worried about Ye Qing and think that she is suffering in the entertainment industry now, it is better to let her withdraw from the entertainment industry. . We can still afford to raise a daughter. "
"This... Qing Qing is already famous. It's not good to give up halfway. What's more, the comments online are quite good. Many fans like Qing Qing, so it would be a pity to quit. Qing Qing only lacks an opportunity now. No matter what, Beichuan is Qing Qing's brother-in-law. He can't possibly not help her with this."
At this point, Mother Ye sighed. "Back then, you were sent to the Lu Family by accident. It was your sister's good fortune. Otherwise, Mrs. Lu would be your sister now. You wouldn't have any resources. Why would you need to look for Beichuan?"
She touched on his sore spot. Father Ye coughed hard and used his eyes to stop her from saying anything else.
"Why are you coughing? Am I wrong? If that bastard Lin Zhan hadn't seduced my Qing Qing back then, would she still be fighting alone in the entertainment industry? " Mother Ye frowned and said to herself, "Zhen Zhen, don't blame Mother for speaking the truth. What Mother said is the truth. Back then, the Lu Family specifically asked for Ye Qing. It was only by coincidence that you were sent to the Lu Family. Now that you're doing so well, you owe your sister a favor. What's wrong with sisters helping each other? Why is it so difficult for you to say a word or two to Lu Beichuan? "
Ye Zhen smiled. "If you really think that Ye Qing has commercial value as an ambassador, why don't you get her manager to contact the company directly? If she really has value, I don't think Beichuan's department staff would have missed it, nor would they have pushed such a big piece of meat out. If she got the endorsement based on her own abilities, it would be much more justified than if she got it through the back door. She would be able to hold her head high in front of others and wouldn't have to listen to others gossiping behind her back. What do you think?"
"You..." Mother Ye wanted to say something, but Father Ye interrupted her. "Yes, yes, yes. Zhen Zhen is right. If she got the endorsement based on her own abilities, then she would be justified. You also know that there are a lot of people in the entertainment industry. Rumors and slanders are even worse. If you let Qing Qing get in through the back door, what would others think of her? Qing Qing is such a proud girl. How could she stand it?"
"But..."
"What's there to 'but' about?! Stop fooling around here. Qing Qing has already grown up. She can handle her own matters. Does she still need you, her mother, to worry about her? You can control her for now, but can you control her for the rest of her life? She has to learn to face it on her own! "
Mother Ye sneered. "You make it sound so righteous. Fine, you can face that lousy company of yours on your own. If you're so capable, don't look for Beichuan to inject funds and help you!"
Father Ye was furious. "Is that the same thing? Can it be mentioned in the same breath? "
"How is it not the same thing? How can it not be mentioned in the same breath?"
"I'm worried about the company because I want to support our family. What about Ye Qing? Has she asked you anything during this period of time other than asking for money? Every time I call her, has she ever been on the phone for more than five minutes? Take care of your daughter, take care of your daughter. Look at how you've spoiled her! "
Ye Zhen listened quietly from the side. She got annoyed and pressed the call button on the bedside table. Not long after, a nurse knocked on the door and pushed it open. Father Ye and Mother Ye's quarrel came to an abrupt end.
"Mrs. Lu, is there anything I can help you with?"
Ye Zhen rubbed her forehead. "I'm a little tired and would like to rest for a while. Can I trouble you to send my parents out?"
Before they could finish speaking, Ye Zhen was clearly chasing them out. Father Ye and Mother Ye could not keep a straight face either. Their expressions were very ugly. How could they be willing to leave without accomplishing anything?
But when they saw that Ye Zhen did not even look at the two of them before closing her eyes and lying down to rest, they had no choice but to follow the nurse out.
Lu Beichuan walked over from the corridor. Father Ye's face lit up and he quickly went up to him. "Beichuan, Zhen Zhen is resting. She's asleep now, so don't go in and disturb her. Let's find a quiet place to talk, shall we?"
Lu Beichuan looked expressionlessly at his father-in-law, who was beaming from ear to ear, and said coldly, "What's the matter?"
His attitude was telling him to spit it out.
Father Ye's smile froze on his face. After a while, he laughed and said, "It's like this. Haven't I been discussing with you about the investment project? You know that if it wasn't 100% profitable, I wouldn't have let you invest in it. We're a family, so we should earn money together. "
