Ye Yun was amused by the little girl’s words.
Was this a threat to die if he refused?
Indeed, all women were the same, whether old or young.
They were all born with the ability to cry, make a scene, and threaten to hang themselves!
Ye Yun smiled and agreed to everything before taking his leave.
Soon, Ye Yun returned home.
Li Mengyao had also returned after taking Ke Ke to her tutoring session. Seeing Ye Yun, Li Mengyao said solemnly,
“Ye Yun, there’s something I want to discuss with you.”
“About Meng Hao’s wedding yesterday?” Ye Yun asked.
Li Mengyao nodded.
“Ye Yun, I originally planned for you not to flaunt your wealth in front of my parents. But yesterday, everything was exposed at once. Aren’t you afraid they’ll pester us endlessly from now on? Like vampires, always demanding from us?”
“After so many years, you know my parents better than anyone. Even Meng Hao and Meng Han don’t understand them as well as you do. Everything was exposed yesterday; we need to think about what to do about this!”
Ye Yun was a little surprised by Li Mengyao’s words. He couldn’t help but tease her with a smile,
“According to the logic in TV dramas, shouldn’t you be trying your best to help your maiden family now? What’s that term on TV? A ‘sister who dotes on her brother’?”
“You’re still in the mood for jokes at a time like this!” Li Mengyao glared at Ye Yun.
Then, her gaze drifted towards the door, her eyes slightly lost in thought.
“Ye Yun, you don’t know after the last argument I had with you, I went back to my parents’ home. At that time, I still had some illusions about them. But they insisted on dragging me to marry that Sun Youcai so they could live a better life. At that moment, my heart turned cold.”
“Yet, just two days later, as our lives were starting to improve, they ruthlessly snatched away the five million from your hands, leaving not a single cent! From that day on, I said I had nothing to do with them, and they shouldn’t acknowledge me as their daughter anymore.”
“Besides, you are my man. That night, I swore that I, Li Mengyao, would be yours in life and yours in death. In this world, the most important people to me are you and Ke Ke. After what they did to you before, I will not forgive them.”
“Sigh,” Ye Yun sighed and pulled Li Mengyao into his embrace.
“Mengyao, I’ll say it again. I’m not afraid of any grievances I suffer; you are what’s important. As long as you are happy, that is the most important thing to me. Regarding your parents, no matter what your choice is, I will unconditionally support you with all my heart, without any complaints. Because to me, nothing can compare to you.”
Hearing Ye Yun’s promise, Li Mengyao felt a little touched, but she still shook her head and sighed.
“Ye Yun, I actually made this decision a long time ago. I originally wanted to tell you last night, but then Tongtong’s matter came up.”
“My heart is truly cold towards my parents. I know that no matter what, I still have their blood in me, and they raised me bit by bit for over twenty years. As parents, they have the right to accept my support, and I have the obligation to do so!”
“However, I will only provide support. I will not let them drain our blood endlessly like vampires.”
Li Mengyao sighed as she said this.
“It was precisely for this reason that I didn’t want them to know about our family’s situation, and I didn’t even tell Meng Han and Meng Hao. I was afraid they would let slip these things with their loose tongues.”
“Mengyao, I’m sorry for ruining your plan…”
“No, you don’t need to apologize,” Li Mengyao interrupted Ye Yun, covering his mouth. “Given the situation yesterday, if you hadn’t revealed it, Meng Hao wouldn’t have been able to see through that woman Wu Qian’s true colors. Compared to my brother living his life with the shame of being a cuckold, it’s better that we exposed everything. To put it simply, I should thank you for helping my brother.”
Ye Yun smiled and stroked Li Mengyao’s silken hair in his arms.
“You think too much. Meng Hao is my brother-in-law. If it weren’t for this kid before, it’s unlikely we would have ended up together. I’ve always been grateful to him and Meng Han.”
“Besides, it’s not necessarily a bad thing that it was exposed. Given your parents’ personalities, after what happened yesterday, they’ll probably rack their brains trying every possible way to treat you well. Honestly, although I don’t care much, seeing you and Ke Ke suffer makes me uncomfortable too.”
“As for them relying on me, that’s not really accurate. If they want me to help, they’ll definitely have to go through you. I estimate that they’re now desperately trying to find you, trying to get through to you first.”
Regarding Li Mengyao’s parents.
No, they should be called “father-in-law and mother-in-law.”
Ye Yun naturally held grudges in his heart.
Although in the past, his father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law had all treated him poorly.
But there was a world of difference between them.
His father-in-law and mother-in-law had always treated him badly, fundamentally because Ye Yun was poor and incapable.
His brother-in-law and sister-in-law were different. They had treated Ye Yun well at first, regarding him as a brother-in-law.
Even after Ye Yun fell into decline, they only treated him poorly, while still taking good care of Ke Ke and Mengyao.
Unlike his “father-in-law and mother-in-law,” who always had foul expressions towards his entire family and could even utter such words as Ke Ke being a “bastard”!
Ye Yun was not a coward.
He wouldn’t get angry even if his daughter was insulted to his face!
That’s why he had said before that he would let Li Mengyao and her daughter enjoy all the luxuries in the world, and let his “father-in-law and mother-in-law” know that taking his five million that night was like picking up a sesame seed and losing a watermelon.
Of course, Ye Yun didn’t want Li Mengyao to be unhappy.
So even if Li Mengyao wanted to help her parents, Ye Yun naturally wouldn’t object.
But he himself would absolutely not offer a single penny.
Even the most basic filial duty, Ye Yun would not undertake!
“Forget it, let’s not talk about them. It’s bothersome to talk too much! Ye Yun, don’t worry, a married daughter is like spilled water. Now I belong to you. Even if they are my biological parents, I won’t use your money to go back to my maiden home, nor will I casually use your connections to help them,” Li Mengyao said earnestly.
“I said, your happiness is the most important thing, and I support any decision you make,” Ye Yun said with a smile.
“Mm, there’s something else I want to ask you. What are your plans for Meng Han and Meng Hao? Meng Han and Meng Hao are different from my parents…” Li Mengyao hesitated.
Yesterday, Ye Yun had made a promise to Li Meng Hao in front of so many people.
Li Mengyao cherished her relationship with her younger siblings, but she didn’t want to put Ye Yun in a difficult position.
Ye Yun flicked Mengyao’s nose and said with a smile, “Silly girl, do you really think your husband is an idiot? Can’t I tell if Meng Hao and Meng Han truly care about you or not?”
“Don’t worry, I’ve already thought about their arrangements. Meng Hao’s personality is a bit impulsive, but now that he’s married to that girl Wang Hui, it’s time to help them out. I plan to give him two options: first, to hold one ten-thousandth of the shares in Yao Ke Group and have a relaxed position in the company. Second, I can invest in a project and give him a chance to forge his own path. The choice is his.”
