Chapter 340: Number 1 in Playing the Victim
Chapter 340: Number 1 in Playing the Victim
Ye Ze had tears in his eyes and looked terrified. But Yun Zhi knew his selfish and cold nature. Ye Ze wasn't afraid that Ye Chengyan would scold him for Yu Baisu when he came back. He was afraid that Yu Baisu had offended Ye Chengyan and displeased him, causing what should have belonged to him as the eldest young master of the Ye family to be blown away by Yu Baisu's pillow talk.
He is still too weak to protect what he owns.
A flash of resentment crossed Ye Ze's eyes, and he also hated the father who had gotten Yu Baisu pregnant. His father had promised that he would be the only child in the Ye family, so why did he break his promise? Everything in the Ye family should be his, and he would not give it to anyone.
"You're young and insecure, which is why you acted impulsively. When your father comes back, tell him about your unease. He won't be angry. But you can't do this again. Since Miss Yu is pregnant with your father's child, she will marry him. The child in her belly is your half-brother or half-sister. As the older brother, you have to love and care for your younger sibling, otherwise your father and grandmother might not like you."
Yunzhi held Yeze's hand and looked at him seriously as she spoke.
Ye Ze frowned instinctively when he heard about caring for his younger siblings. Especially after hearing Yun Zhi's last sentence, he became even more certain that what Xiao Zhuang said was true. Now he had to make concessions again and again because of that bad woman's child. After that child was born, would he still have a place to live in this family?
When the time comes, the love that Dad and Grandma doted on will be transferred to someone else. Just thinking about it made Ye Ze want to make a scene. He suppressed the hatred in his heart and nodded reluctantly, but he was still young and his thoughts were written all over his face.
Yunzhi didn't miss the resentment and indignation on his face and the unwillingness in his eyes. She lowered her eyes to hide the pleasure in them and stood up as if she hadn't noticed anything.
Yu Baisu, oh Yu Baisu.
I wonder if in this life, you have this child in your belly with whom you have placed special expectations, and whether you can empathize as you did in your previous life. Just thinking about it makes Yunzhi impatient.
The Ye family villa is about to be thrown into chaos.
When Yunzhi led Ye Ze inside again, Ye Ze had calmed down considerably. At least he wouldn't rush at Yu Baisu without thinking. However, Yu Baisu instinctively shivered when she saw Ye Ze. She touched the obvious teeth marks on her arm and shrank back.
Ye Ze licked his teeth, suppressing his anger only after remembering Aunt Zhizhi's words.
Just then, the door to the ward was pushed open from the outside.
Wearing a custom-made black suit, Ye Chengyan strode in. As soon as he entered, he saw the extra person in Yu Baisu's ward, and his brows furrowed. Especially when he saw Yun Zhi, his pupils suddenly contracted, and a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes, as if some secret he couldn't share had been discovered by the person he least wanted to know.
He pressed his thin lips into a straight line, not understanding why Yunzhi was here, and whether Yunzhi knew that Yu Baisu was pregnant with her child.
Ye Chengyan felt a little flustered. When he looked up at the hospital bed and saw the clothes on the bed disheveled and the hair looking like weeds ravaged by a storm, his brows furrowed even more.
"Ayan, you're back." As soon as Yu Baisu saw Ye Chengyan, her nose tingled, and tears welled up in her eyes. Large tears slid down her cheeks and pattered onto the back of her hand.
If Yu Baisu had cried loudly, it might have annoyed Ye Chengyan, but his silent weeping made Ye Chengyan's heart tighten. Ye Chengyan quickly walked through the crowd and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Ayan, Ayan, our child almost died." Yu Baisu's voice choked with sobs, which made Ye Chengyan even more irritable. Before he could ask who had the audacity to do it, Ye Ze burst into tears, instantly drowning out Yu Baisu's voice.
Yu Baisu was so startled by Ye Ze's sudden action that she forgot what to do next. By the time she came to her senses, Ye Ze had already rushed over and hugged Ye Chengyan's leg, crying pitifully, "Daddy, please don't send me to the old house or to Grandma's. Please don't abandon me."
"Who said I don't want you? Who said I'm going to send you to the old house?" Ye Chengyan looked displeased. He wasn't so poor that he couldn't afford to raise his own child. Who was gossiping in his son's ear?
"Nobody told me, but I know that Xiao Zhuang from our kindergarten has a stepmother who doesn't care about him anymore after she had her own child. Xiao Zhuang is like a motherless weed in our kindergarten. I don't want to be a motherless weed. Dad, didn't you say I was your only child? Were you lying to me?"
Ye Ze raised his head and looked at Ye Chengyan expectantly.
Ye Chengyan was speechless for a moment. He had never planned to have a second child before, and even if he did, it would never be with Yu Baisu. But the accident had already happened. No one expected that just that one time would make Yu Baisu pregnant.
Could he possibly let Yu Baisu hit him?
However, Ye Chengyan had already made up his mind. After Yu Baisu gave birth to the child, he would give her some compensation and tell her to go back to the United States and not to come back unless necessary. The Ye family could afford to raise the child.
"No, Xiaoze. Even if Dad has a new child, he won't dislike your Xiaoze. As for Dad saying before that he wouldn't have a new child... Dad meant it. But something unexpected happened. But don't worry, in Dad's heart, Xiaoze will always be the most important one."
After all, he was his eldest son. Although Ye Chengyan usually disliked Ye Ze for being willful and impolite, he actually favored Ye Ze in his heart.
"Really, Dad? I just found out Auntie is pregnant, and I was scared, so I did something wrong. Dad, you won't be angry with me, right? Dad, I'm so scared. I'm afraid you'll abandon me once you have a new baby." Ye Ze's chubby little hands carefully gripped Ye Chengyan's clothes, his eyes filled with timidity, fear, and panic.
Ye Chengyan remained silent for a moment. He finally understood who Yu Baisu was in such a sorry state because of, and who Yu Baisu had just wanted to complain about. Ye Chengyan was indeed angry for a moment, but seeing Ye Ze's cautious appearance, the anger in his heart seemed to have been punctured and disappeared in an instant.
At this moment, he had no time to be angry; his first reaction was to comfort Ye Ze.
He raised his hand and rubbed his temples. "Dad won't be angry, and Dad won't abandon you just because he has a new child."
