Cheng Yue never expected his daughter to be so considerate and kind. He was extremely surprised. His eyes couldnât help but light up. He was excited and asked carefully and impatiently, âAre you really willing?â
Cheng Yi smiled sweetly. âOf course.â
She had already thought it through. Instead of letting He Jing stay in the He family to conquer He Ning and He Sui, bringing her under her nose was better.
In any case, with Ye Shuping around, He Jing wouldnât have a good time, and she could also please Cheng Yue.
To ensure a complete victory, it didnât seem like a big deal to let He Jing continue to live a wealthy life for a few days. She wanted to see if He Jing could still stay in the Cheng family without her identity as a daughter.
Cheng Yue couldnât stop smiling. He quickly called the butler over and asked him to contact He Jing.
Ye Shuping was extremely displeased upon hearing this.
She was about to cry from the stupidity of her innocent daughter.
No one could lure a wolf into the house like this.
She said without thinking, âNo. I donât agree. He Jing is no longer a member of the Cheng family. She canât stay in the Cheng family.â
Cheng Yue looked at his beloved wife and felt a headache coming on. He said earnestly, âItâs not Jingjingâs fault that she was carried away wrongly. After all, weâve been in a relationship for more than ten years. Canât you be more forgiving?
Ye Shuping was furious. âForgive? Cheng Yue, Iâm telling you, I wonât be forgiving! How have we treated He Jing all these years? Weâve provided her with good food, drinks, and clothes. How has the He family treated Xiao Yi? They made Xiao Yi drop out of school to support her brothers. Let me tell you, this matter will never be solved.â
Cheng Yue said helplessly, âBut Jingjing is innocent.â
Ye Shuping was hysterical. She didnât listen to him at all. âI donât care if sheâs innocent or not. She has to pay back what she owes the Cheng family!â
As the argument escalated, Cheng Yi quickly stopped them. âDad, Mom, youâve misunderstood. The He family has been very good to me. They made me drop out of school because of my poor academic performance and I was ranked at the bottom among my brothers. Moreover, the He family canât afford my tuition fees anymore. They said that as long as my eldest brother graduates and earns money, they will continue to support my educationâ¦â
Ye Shuping thought that Cheng Yi was putting in a good word for the He family. She grabbed her hand. âXiao Yi, I know youâre kind. You donât have to find an excuse to exonerate the He family.â
Cheng Yi insisted, âItâs true.â
Ye Shuping still didnât believe it. She had seen too many people who favored boys over girls. Each one was more ridiculous than the last. If what she said was true, why didnât the youngest drop out of school? What was the big deal about being two years late in primary school?
Little did she know that even He Xiaoguo had always been ranked first in the class. He was often showered with praises and awards.
Cheng Yi was the only one in the family. She had failed a few exams. Despite attempting an arts-focused education path, her grades were still insufficient for university admission.
Cheng Yi didnât want to reveal her true academic struggles. She hugged Ye
Shupingâs arm pitifully and shook it. âMom, please.â
Despite being a usually dominant figure, Ye Shuping found it difficult to resist the united front of her husband and daughter. With a determined heart, she pushed Cheng Yiâs hand away and exclaimed in frustration, âAlright then. But if
He Jing bullies you, donât come crying to me.â
Cheng Yi smiled, âNo, Mom, it wonât happen.â
Cheng Yue felt relieved.
The matter was settled. Cheng Yue instructed the butler to visit the He family in person to buy more gifts and speak politelyâ¦
He Jing had a bad temper. She must still be angry after being kicked out of the Cheng family by Ye Shuping. She had to be coaxed..
