Chapter 697: Falling Out
Kang Ru and the others were furious. Kang Ru said, “Eldest Young Miss, didn’t Young Master Ye say he has no interactions with the artistes from Eldest Young Master’s company? However, based on your words, they’re now involved in a project?”
This was a blatant provocation.
Ye Cheng frowned before he said, “What’s wrong with that? We’re indeed working on a project, but we don’t have any interactions. This kind of thing is naturally dealt with by my subordinates. There’s no need for me to personally get involved.”
Cheng Che’s gaze swept across everyone as he said, “Can’t you see? They’re doing their best to destroy your relationship. It’s obvious they don’t wish for the both of you to be together.”
Kang Ru’s face seemed to turn purple upon hearing these words. Men usually would not involve themselves in women’s petty conversation. She did not expect Cheng Che to speak so bluntly without any consideration. Since Cheng Che had hit the nail on the head, she did not dare to speak anymore.
Yin Jia smiled as tears shone in her eyes. She lowered her gaze as she said, “You saw through their intentions? It’s fine. They’re only targeting me, not Ye Cheng. As long as I’m unhappy, all of them will be happy.”
Ye Cheng hurriedly handed her a piece of tissue before patting her hand. He said gently, “Don’t be angry. They’re just joking. If you talk like that, you’d be cornering Second Aunt and the others.”
Yin Jia wiped her tears and said with an aggrieved expression, “Then what about me when they corner me?”
Everyone was embarrassed.
Cheng Che coughed lightly before he said, “Since you’re unhappy with the Yin family, you can come to me. You still have a younger brother.”
Everyone turned to look at Cheng Che in unison.
Old Master Yin and Yin Bin were pleasantly surprised. After all, Cheng Che had acknowledged his eldest sister.
Old Master Yin hurriedly said, feigning anger, “What are you saying? Yin Jia, don’t act like a child. Ye Cheng has already said it was just a joke, but you’re still taking it so seriously. And you, Cheng Che, what do you mean by your words? The Yin family is also your family. How can you ask your sister to leave?” Then, his expression changed for the better as he turned to Ye Cheng and asked, “When’s your father coming back? Help us invite him out for a gathering. We can also discuss your engagement with Yin Jia.”
Ye Cheng smiled and replied, “Grandfather, my father is trying to finish up with his work as quickly as he can. He said he’ll visit you as soon as he returns.”
Old Master Yin was overjoyed. He said to Yin Jia, “My granddaughter is the best. She’s not petty like other girls.”
Yin Jia did not say anything. She had long gotten used to her grandfather’s behavior. On the surface, it seemed like he favored her, but in fact, he was really helping Old Madam Yin and her children.
As expected, Old Master Yin did not blame Kang Ru and the others at all.
Old Master Yin said to Cheng Che, “Your sister had a tough life. She was abandoned by her mother when she was young, but she was old enough to understand things at that time. She missed her mother so much at that time that she cried every day. You don’t know how difficult it was for her. She thought about you every day as well. She’d always hoped that you’d come home and reunite with the family. Cheng Che, you’re not young anymore. I don’t need to explain things to you. What’s more important than family? Blood is thicker than water. The past should be left in the past. You shouldn’t hold any grudges. Although your father was in the wrong, how can you hold a grudge against your own father for so long?”
