Chapter 288: Chapter 288: Don’t Cry…_1
“Grandma, it was my own choice to be with Mr. Ye. It has nothing to do with him, it’s my own problem.” Su Hongxing and Ye Qilan together, helped old lady Jiang up.
Old lady Jiang rushed her words, “How could I, as your grandmother, not understand your temper? It’s impossible for you to be with Mr. Ye willingly…”
“It was me who forced her because of all the pressure you put on her, it’s why she ended up with me.” This time, Ye Qilan responded before Su Hongxing could.
If something like this had happened in the past, he probably wouldn’t have felt anything. But in that moment, what he saw was not old lady Jiang kneeling to him, but the expression of sadness on Su Hongxing’s face, and the tear light in her eyes.
That tiny light made him feel extremely uncomfortable, as if a hole had been chiseled into his heart that could not be filled.
Ever since Su Hongxing appeared by his side, he also started having moments of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, his emotions would fluctuate with hers.
He thought, this is probably the emotions and desires everybody has.
Undeniably, it was she who taught him about love, hate, affection and resentment, step by step.
“Mr. Ye could have any woman he wants, why must he demean our child? She has already suffered enough…”
“Grandma, stop talking! I’ll visit you another day.” Su Hongxing interrupted old lady Jiang then turned to Xiaosu, “Xiaosu, take care of grandma, I’m leaving first.”
Without waiting for them to speak, she walked quickly out of the ward.
When she reached the elevator, she lifted her head, holding back the tears in her eyes.
Ye Qilan deliberately slowed his steps. After a moment, he walked over to her, only to see that she had returned to her usual self.
He wanted to hold her hand, but she avoided him.
Upon arriving at the parking lot, she got in the car herself and sat in the corner, her gaze fixed outside the window.
For the first time, Ye Qilan felt helpless and didn’t know how to face Su Hongxing.
“I didn’t know that grandma would kneel down suddenly…”
Su Hongxing’s long restrained emotions collapsed because of his words.
“Ye Qilan, what makes you think you have the right to make my grandma kneel to you? Just because you have some money or because you were born into the Ye Family?! You, a cold-hearted monster, how could you understand what kneeling means? No matter how ambitious or mercenary my grandma may be, she would never easily kneel to anyone, but today she knelt to you because of me. Tell me, what gives you the right to make a woman in her sixties kneel to you?!!”
Old lady Jiang’s kneeling didn’t only kneel away her dignity, but also the pride and self-esteem of their whole family.
The car was shrouded in a deadly silence, except for the sound of Su Hongxing’s heavy breathing that echoed constantly.
“You, you don’t cry…”
Ye Qilan was frantic as he wiped Su Hongxing’s tears.
Only then did Su Hongxing realize how uncomposed she was. She pushed Ye Qilan away, quickly wiped the tears from her face, leaned her head against the car window and turned her back to him.
Seeing her silently resisting back, Ye Qilan’s face grew long and gloomy.
He looked at the wetness on his fingertips, put it on his lips and licked it. It tasted salty. Her tears were clearly cold, but they left his fingertips burning.
Ye Ling had been waiting at home. As she saw Su Hongxing and Ye Qilan entering one after another, she was about to confront Su Hongxing, when she saw the tear marks on her face.
As for Ye Qilan, he followed Su Hongxing closely, looking anxiously guilty, as if he had done something wrong.
In Ye Ling’s eyes, Ye Qilan had always been self-righteous, and never put anyone in his eyes. She had never seen Ye Qilan like this. It was too shocking.
“Fourth brother, what happened to her?” Ye Ling asked quietly.
