Chapter 735: Persuasion
Cheng Che looked at Ye Cheng skeptically.
Ye Cheng struck while the iron was hot and said, “If you care so much about your sister, why are you still so stubborn? Shouldn’t you consider her?”
Cheng Che’s eyes flashed before he asked somewhat uncertainly, “Consider her how? What’s there to consider?”
Ye Cheng looked at Cheng Che reproachfully before he said, “Even if Old Master Yin dotes on her, she’s still alone and helpless. Your father doesn’t treat her badly, but it’s obvious that he treats your half-brother and half-sister better. There’s no need to mention your stepmother. The Yin family is quite complex. There are your uncle and aunty, and there’s also Old Madam Yin. None of them are easy to deal with.”
Then, Ye Cheng shook his head before he continued to say, “I really can’t imagine how Yin Jia grew up. Perhaps, that’s why she’s a little stubborn and extreme. I think she’s like that in order to protect herself.”
Cheng Che listened attentively as Ye Cheng continued to say, “No matter what are the motives of the others for wanting you to return to the family, your sister’s motive is the purest. She only thinks that everything in the Yin family should belong to you. She’ll risk her life to restore you to your rightful position. Even if the Yin family didn’t look for you, she would’ve looked for you and brought you home.”
Cheng Che slowly drank the wine from his glass. As he set his glass down, he asked calmly, “Brother Cheng, if you were me, what would you do?”
Ye Cheng felt his heart relax when he heard the words ‘Brother Cheng’. He felt like he had successfully gotten Cheng Che to open his heart. He really felt like smiling at this moment when he thought about how there was hope of pulling Cheng Che to his side. This was good enough for him to show off in front of Mu Chen. Finally, he cleared his throat and said, “If I were you, I’d return to the Yin family immediately. You’re a man. There’s no need for you to care about trivial matters. Mu Chen is used to being aloof, and he can remain so without dirtying his hands. This is something his grandmother had helped him to obtain. However, we can’t compare to him. If I were you, I’d return to the Yin family. No matter the difficulties and risks that lie ahead, you shouldn’t let go of this opportunity.”
Cheng Che looked at Ye Cheng intently.
…
Ye Cheng patted Cheng Che’s hand and said earnestly, “You can’t rely on the Mu family your entire life. You’ve already started your own business so I don’t need to tell you about how hard that is. Although you’re doing very well standing on your own, your foundation is still weak. However, it’ll be different if you have the Yin family as your foundation. I advise you to use your brain to think when it comes to business. Don’t let your emotions get the best of you. What are those old grudges worth?”
Ye Cheng continued to strike the iron while it was hot. “To put it bluntly, your mother passed away a long time ago. Although she’s in heaven now, I’m sure she still wants the best for you. I’m sure she also hopes that you’ll be the Young Master of the Yin family instead of staying in the Mu family without any support. Moreover, your sister has been planning for you for so many years. She wants you to take on your rightful identity.”
Cheng Che lowered his gaze, falling deep into his thoughts.
Ye Cheng felt even more reassured and confident upon seeing this. He said, “As for your grandparents and Old Madam Yin… Cheng Che, in the end, their affairs have nothing to do with you. If I were you, I’d return and start to build connections and gain resources. I know you and Mu Chen think that I’m vulgar and only care about money. I don’t mind. I only have a stronger sense of purpose. I don’t pretend to be anything else.”
