Chapter 696: Chapter 696: Disliked From the First Sight
Dan Hanjie dotes on her so much, there isn’t anyone in the whole villa who doesn’t know it.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Seeing that the housekeeper agreed to help cover up for her, Qin Youxuan let out a sigh of relief, handed over the medicine bowl in her hand, and turned to leave the kitchen.
Ye Zhanxing sat on a luxurious pure leather couch, with his legs crossed, and a cigar between his fingers which he took a puff from time to time, blowing rings of white smoke.
His resolute face held a hint of coldness, and he remained silent for a long time.
Ye Mingmei knelt in front of him, her eyes red and swollen, occasionally rubbing her numb knees, but she dared not stand up.
“Dad, I know I was wrong today.”
After kneeling for almost an hour, Ye Mingmei couldn’t take it anymore and could only try to beg for mercy in a soft voice.
“What did you do wrong?”
Ye Zhanxing’s eyes flickered slightly, he placed the cigar at his fingertips in the ashtray, and looked at his darling daughter.
As if in the blink of an eye, a small baby had grown into a young lady standing straight and tall.
But her mind was still as simple as when she was a baby, it was his failure as a father in his upbringing.
“I shouldn’t have provoked Qin Youxuan.” Ye Mingmei pursed her mouth and replied unwillingly.
“But I just don’t like her. I’ve never seen such a ungrateful person. She’s clearly just a rich heiress of a small enterprise yet she always belittles me. I just can’t stand it…”
Ye Mingmei stopped speaking when she saw Ye Zhanxing’s strange look in his eyes.
But her eyes were filled with resentment.
If it wasn’t for Qin Youxuan, she wouldn’t have embarrassed herself at the Dan family’s dinner party.
She wouldn’t have lost her composure several times in front of Dan Hanjie, and even turned him against the Ye family.
All of this was thanks to Qin Youxuan. She hated this woman!
“How many times have I told you not to judge everything by a person’s background? What do you have to be proud of, apart from everything the Ye family has given you?” Ye Zhanxing scolded coldly.
“Mingmei, remember what I said, birth is just a layer of packaging, not a bragging capital. In contrast, it’s your intelligence, your diligence and efforts that even the professors praise, that make me look at you differently. The daughter of Ye family can be without anything, but she can’t be without an attitude. But look at you now…”
Ye Zhanxing’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned his gaze away in disappointment.
A single Qin Youxuan caused the daughter he took pride in for twenty years, to lose her composure.
Even for a man, she threw away the pride of the Ye family.
With such aptitude, how would she manage the entire Ye family’s industry in the future?
“Dad, I really know I was wrong. Can you please not be angry with me?” Ye Mingmei kneeled down and moved to the side of the sofa, cautiously reaching out to tug on Ye Zhanxing’s hem of his clothes.
Like an abandoned, pitiful little girl.
“It wasn’t me who provoked Qin Youxuan this time, she bumped into me. You can check the restaurant’s surveillance to see.” Ye Mingmei explained with grievances.
She didn’t know what was going on. She just didn’t like her from the first time she saw Qin Youxuan.
She’s too shiny, too defiant…
She can overshadow everyone else, just by standing casually in the crowd.
Without Qin Youxuan, she would always be the center of attention wherever she went. But with Qin Youxuan, she became the laughingstock wherever she went, being overshadowed no matter what she did.
That woman even took away the man she fancied…
The innate sense of rejection feels like if she retaliates, Qin Youxuan will snatch everything that belongs to her.
