Chapter 1244 - 1033: Never Live in Aggrievement
Ye Yide stared fiercely at his adoptive daughter. After so many years, he hadn’t seen through her true nature. All these years were truly wasted. He just couldn’t understand why, despite adopting her as a child, he never realized her true self.
Either the adoptive daughter was scheming from a young age, or he was too careless. If he had known she would turn her back on them like this, he would have never allowed her to continue her education, no matter what others said.
"Do you think just because you got an education, you have nothing to fear? Do you think recording a couple of videos can control us? Qiu’er, you are underestimating things," Ye Yide said with a venomous tone.
Hearing him address her like that, Ye Qiu almost wanted to puke the breakfast she had eaten. If there was anyone the original self hated the most in this family, it was this adoptive father.
Don’t be fooled by this adoptive father’s honest appearance. In reality, he had vile intentions. Seeing Ye Qiu grow more beautiful, he had improper thoughts more than once. If her adoptive mother hadn’t kept a close eye on her, forcing her to earn money, if she hadn’t been bossed around by Ye Meng after coming home, he might have succeeded.
Ye Qiu only came out after letting her adoptive mother, Lu Mei Juan, leave, intending to deal with Ye Yide on her own, and also to negotiate with him. On the surface, Lu Mei Juan seemed to call the shots at home, but Ye Qiu knew that the smartest one was Ye Yide.
It’s just that normally, Lu Mei Juan appeared more domineering, and since most of her decisions didn’t differ much from Ye Yide’s thoughts, he usually kept quiet. But in reality, whenever there was a major decision to be made at home, it was mostly him that had the final say. He would always prod Lu Mei Juan subtly into agreeing with his views.
For example, when Lu Mei Juan, after getting pregnant with Ye Meng, was planning to dispose of Ye Qiu, it was Ye Yide who said they could just raise her casually, claiming that disposing of her wouldn’t be good for their biological child, Ye Meng. He also said that raising a girl like Ye Qiu wouldn’t cost much money and could help with house chores, eventually bringing in some dowry money and enhancing their reputation.
Another instance was when the Ye Family bought a house for the first time. Lu Mei Juan insisted on buying in the suburbs, but it was Ye Yide who persuaded her to buy a property near a school district, which had now appreciated several times over.
Then there’s the matter of Ye Qiu’s schooling. Initially, Lu Mei Juan insisted against Ye Qiu continuing her education, but it was Ye Yide who managed to persuade her. This time, though, things might not go according to his plan.
Of course, this was also because Ye Qiu had traveled through time. If it had been the original self, she would have indeed become the money-making machine for the Ye Family, sacrificing everything for them as per Ye Yide’s wish.
But unfortunately, the one in this world now is Ye Qiu. Ye Yide is destined to end up with nothing.
"I’m not as easy to deal with as your mom. Do you think we only know how to make a fuss? No matter what, you will always be our adoptive daughter. Right now, these students may be making a ruckus, but what about later? What about when you have a job, get married, have children? Do you think there won’t be anyone else who dislikes you? Do you think everyone will stand up for you? In the adult world, everyone looks out for themselves. Aren’t you afraid?" Ye Yide threatened.
Ye Qiu suddenly laughed. She truly wasn’t afraid. She had nothing tying her down in this world. What was there to fear? A job? As long as she was capable enough, who could mess with her? At worst, she could be her own boss. As for getting married and having children, wasn’t being single great? The ones who didn’t like her, who knows who would end up unfortunate! At least Xie Lizzi had already lost badly before. What standing up? What looking out for oneself? That only applies when one’s not strong enough.
"Dad, what you’re talking about is still very distant. It doesn’t threaten me at all right now, but you all don’t have it that easy now. It doesn’t feel good to have your biological daughter criticized and scolded, right? Are you distressed?" Ye Qiu sneered arrogantly, "Don’t try to threaten me; you should worry about Ye Meng."
"It’s just an unranked college. She can stop going if it comes to that," Ye Yide seemed unconcerned.
"Oh, then let’s use your words, Dad. The sister will have to work in the future, right? Get married and have kids, right? How do you think her future colleagues and husband will look at her when they know what kind of person she is? I heard that her boyfriend at school broke up with her right after seeing my post!"
Ye Yide stared at her, enunciating each word, "She doesn’t have to work. She can open a small shop. As for her future husband, I will scrutinize it strictly. I won’t let Meng’er be threatened by you."
"Is that so?" Ye Qiu chuckled, "That’s just your idea, Dad. Are you sure sister will live according to your plans?"
Hearing this, Ye Yide’s face turned completely dark. How could he not know about his biological daughter? Although he didn’t want to admit it, she had indeed been spoiled by him and his wife, not listening to them much. Ye Yide used to think it was nothing, only to now realize that this had become a tool for Ye Qiu to attack them.
Before coming to A City, he would never have thought that the docile adoptive daughter would turn out like this. His threats turned into being threatened by her.
"But if Meng’er knows you’re threatening her like this, she’ll definitely listen to me to spite you," Ye Yide refused to admit defeat.
"How many days?" Ye Qiu said with a sly smile, "After all, I’ve been her sister for over a decade, Dad. Do you think I don’t know her personality? How many days can she hold on?"
"You..." Ye Yide seethed, clenching his fists with a red face.
Ye Qiu stepped back, a smirk on her lips but her eyes full of threat: "Dad, you better not get physical. The security in this neighborhood is still watching. If I shout now that you’re threatening me and attempting to assault me, do you think they’ll call the police?"
"It seems college really changes a person. I really misjudged you before. You’ve become so capable now, even able to falsely accuse people and lie through your teeth."
"Didn’t I learn all of this from Dad, Mom, and my sisters? After getting bullied so many times, you naturally get smarter. People have to look out for themselves, right? You all treated me so poorly since I was a child. Why should I put up with you? Am I a masochist? Dad, do you know why I didn’t agree when someone introduced a lawyer to sever ties with you?"
Ye Yide, looking at the current Ye Qiu, who he used to ridicule for being foolish, began to panic: "Why not?"
"Of course, to get revenge on you all. Wouldn’t it be too merciful to let you off so easily? I want you to suffer the same hardships I did, without being able to speak out."
Ye Yide’s heart skipped a beat: "I’m prepared now. Do you think you can still succeed?"
"Naturally, I trust in my strength. I also enjoy the thrill of the cat-and-mouse game. Dad, don’t let your guard down!" Ye Qiu grinned mischievously, filled with malicious intent.
