Ye Mu felt this was a lost cause, "I bet as soon as Shen Congmo hears it’s your distinguished name, he will immediately refuse."
"I’ll go find him." She put down her tablet, and was about to dash off in her shoes when Ye Mu grabbed her, "Come back here! Yingying, do you really want to drive me to my grave?!"
"Mom, don’t pull me!"
"Sit down, I have something else to say to you."
Ye Ying plopped down onto a seat, "Go on, tell me."
Ye Mu told her the news she had heard, "Yesterday at the beauty salon, while I was getting a facial, the owner told me that Mrs. Long had casually mentioned that Long Tianjiao dropped out of school and signed with a talent agency, planning to develop a career in the entertainment circle."
"If she wants to go, just let her be. It’s ridiculous that someone with such a wealthy background wants to be an actor in the entertainment circle."
"Ye Ying," Ye Mu looked at her seriously, "What I want to tell you is not just about this matter itself. It’s said that Long Tianjiao is now taking many classes and focusing on learning acting. It is a legitimate profession. Although she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, she has given up continuing university in pursuit of another goal. What about you? Can’t you concentrate all your energy on your studies? Matters of the heart cannot be forced. You can pursue them, yes, but it must be done methodically. It only annoys others if you don’t think about it; have you considered if he might accept you?"
Ye Ying didn’t want to listen to her prattling, and said, "Long Tianjiao is Long Tianjiao, I am me. I’m nothing like her, and I don’t even want to hear her name. She wants to be a star, I don’t."
Ye Mu was exhausted and spoke softly, "Ye Yan is getting more capable by the day, and your dad often praises him for his abilities. Have you thought about what our life would be like if the Ye Family falls into his hands after your dad steps down? You’re not young anymore, can’t you understand these things? Your brother is not promising, are you planning to follow his footsteps? It’s because your dad has seen you and your brother’s lack of ambition that he’s pinned his hopes on Ye Yan. I’m really at my wits’ end, Yingying. Don’t make me worry about you anymore."
"Why not drive him out now and cut off all future troubles? Why not get rid of him?" Ye Ying snorted, "Mom, we are the legal wife’s family; what right does that illegitimate child have to compete with us for the inheritance?"
"He is also your dad’s biological son." Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel✶fire.net
"In my eyes, he’s nothing."
"That’s all you should say in front of me. Do you think I don’t want to drive him out? I’ve dreamt about it, but in this house, your dad makes the decisions, and we all have to rely on his mood. Don’t you know that?!" Ye Mu spoke earnestly to her, "Forget about Shen Congmo; withdraw your heart from him completely, and concentrate on your studies. Didn’t you say you didn’t want to be like Long Tianjiao? Well, I ask you, do you want to end up so unsuccessful that even Long Tianjiao looks down on you? If you don’t want that, you have to work hard too, don’t let her underestimate you."
Ye Ying looked at her, and her heart calmed down.
"Son, how is it?" Mrs. Shen’s face was animated, "Miss Jin is pretty good, right? She’s definitely suitable to be our daughter-in-law, with fine looks, upbringing, family background, and education. She also has a pleasant personality, and I heard she has never had a boyfriend because of her strict family discipline."
"She’s quite good." Shen Congmo’s face was indifferent, "We can carry a conversation. Let’s settle on her."
