Chapter 1160 - 1149: When the Daughter Is the Supporting Character and the Younger Sister Is the Protagonist
Zhang Beichen looked at Ye Yun and smiled, "Thank you for your encouragement. I wonder when Xiao Shu will finally wise up."
"It won’t be too late." Ye Yun vaguely remembered that it seemed they confirmed their relationship in high school and officially started dating in college. In her past life, she hadn’t paid much attention to their relationship. Does it seem like the Zhang family’s wages also went through a bumpy emotional road?
Ye Yun began to envy again. Why couldn’t she encounter someone whose heart was devoted wholly to her?
"I will definitely work hard, Sister Ye Yun, can you help me?" Zhang Beichen pleaded.
Ye Yun chuckled, "How can I help you? I’m Xiao Shu’s aunt; do you think I would help an unrelated man pursue my niece?"
Zhang Beichen shyly laughed, "I know Sister Ye Yun, you’ll definitely help me because you are a good person."
"Even a good person wouldn’t blindly help someone pick at her family’s little cabbage!"
"That’s naturally because the one picking the cabbage is also excellent. Sister Ye Yun, rest assured, my heart is only for Xiao Shu, and I will certainly be good to her." Zhang Beichen guaranteed.
Ye Yun felt genuine envy at this. She certainly believed his promise, but had not anticipated that he would have such a sense of responsibility at a young age.
"Alright, I can help you, but what’s in it for me?" She teased him, pretending to joke.
"Hmm..." Zhang Beichen thought for a while, "How about this, Sister Ye Yun, you keep an eye on whether there are other men around Xiao Shu and what she likes. I will give you my most precious figurine."
"I’m not into those figurines you boys like; what use do I have for them?" Ye Yun raised her eyebrows at him.
Zhang Beichen suddenly felt troubled: "Then what do you girls like? As long as you tell me, Sister Ye Yun, if I can do it, I will make it happen."
"Nothing comes to mind right now. How about this, when you go out and encounter something special, just bring me something back. Bringing something three times will do."
"Alright." Zheng Beichen solemnly promised.
At that moment, neither he nor Ye Yun realized that his promise to bring her gifts would turn into a habit.
Ye Yun’s adult ceremony was grandly organized because she previously went on a trip with Ye Shu and met several heirs from group enterprises. Their arrival made everyone look at her more favorably.
Mei Chunli observed with delight, as her daughter began implementing her advice. This birthday banquet made her realize she couldn’t be a drag on her daughter.
Her daughter was so outstanding; why should she be buried because of her stepdaughter? The stepdaughter was precious, but her daughter was too. Previously, she had wronged her, and now she would wholeheartedly plan for her!
"Dad, you said Aunt Mei got hurt?" Ye Qiu frowned after receiving the call. It seemed like this didn’t happen in the previous life!
"How did she get hurt?" She asked again.
"It’s all my fault." On the other end, Ye Changfeng spoke with a tone of self-blame, "If I hadn’t insisted on going out to clear my mind, if Aunt Mei hadn’t gone to buy water for me and I couldn’t resist moving the wheelchair myself, the wheelchair wouldn’t have lost control going downhill and happened to be hit by a passing car when Aunt Mei rushed to save me and got accidentally hit."
"She got hit by a car? Is the injury serious? What did the doctor say?" After eighteen years of companionship, Ye Qiu was still very concerned about Mei Chunli and asked eagerly.
"Her leg got hit; the doctor said she’s fine but she’ll need to recover for a few months."
"It’s good that there’s no major issue. I’ll go to the hospital to see you after work." Ye Qiu felt a sense of relief in her heart.
"I’m not seriously injured, why disturb Ye Qiu?" Mei Chunli lay on the hospital bed, her face pale as she comforted her husband.
Ye Changfeng’s face showed self-blame, his eyes full of affection: "It’s all my fault this time. I acted impulsively. I shouldn’t have moved on my own."
"You did it for me; I really like this flower." She said, looking at the simple small yellow flower in the glass bottle by the bedside.
Ye Changfeng opened his mouth but found he couldn’t voice the words he wanted to say, feeling more guilty in his heart.
What he hadn’t told his wife was that Ye Qiu’s mother loved yellow flowers, saying they resembled the sun. Today, when he saw them, he subconsciously picked them, but his wife thought he picked them for her.
Seeing her so satisfied and happy made him feel indescribable.
At first, he had owed her, being a full twenty years older and had her marry him while pregnant. Even after marrying her, she wasn’t treated as a wife but more like a nanny or caregiver.
Yet she never complained, diligently taking care of him, Ye Qiu, and Xiao Shu, putting herself last and not even allowing her younger daughter Ye Yun to stand out.
He knew exactly what troubled her, and the more he knew, the more guilty he felt monthly. He was always owing his wife and younger daughter too much, lacking for her full-hearted love.
He thought he didn’t care about her and believed providing her wealth and honor was enough, but today watching her saving him, watching her getting hit by the car, he admitted he panicked. Seeing her fall, he realized he couldn’t do without her.
It was the first time he felt so helpless and anxious since Ye Qiu’s mother passed away.
He thought he needed to change his attitude, follow his heart; at this age, he didn’t want any more regrets in his remaining life.
Ye Changfeng went forward and held Mei Chunli’s hand, filled with deep affection, "If you like it, I’ll give you flowers every day."
Listening to this, Mei Chunli started to shed tears, "Okay."
Ye Yun watched from outside the door without disturbing them, feeling relieved. She didn’t expect her mom to be so bold, but fortunately, nothing serious happened, and dad finally realized his feelings. Mom’s fall was worth it; dad will treat mom better from now on, and mom won’t have regrets.
Since Mei Chunli’s injury, Ye Changfeng, who initially didn’t care about which major the younger daughter chose, suddenly paid attention and after several long conversations discovered her business talent. He fully supported her career, even providing her with a substantial start-up fund.
"The enterprise went to your sister, and these assets from dad will be left to you. Go ahead and do what you wish, and if there’s anything you don’t understand, ask me or your elder sister." Ye Changfeng looked at Ye Yun with adoration.
"Thank you, Dad, I will definitely live up to your expectations." Ye Yun was extremely happy; she was an adult, with networks and initial funds, and most importantly, her father’s support. She no longer needed to fear her elder sister!
However, she was cautious, yet Ye Qiu hadn’t been concerned from the start, relying on her own abilities and trusting her family. However, this trust ultimately was betrayed.
