Defrosting The Cold Young Master - Chapter 536

Chapter 536: Chapter 537: He Turned Into a Disgusting Person

Chi Zhan’s words, like another criticism of Ye Xinglan, left his face even paler.

The events that had just occurred played over and over again in his mind. Suddenly, he realized that what Gu Junzhu had said was correct.

He claimed over and over again that he loved Ye Xingbei, but deep down he didn’t think so.

In the past five years, he had punished Ye Xingbei numerous times for all sorts of reasons.

The contempt and punishment for Ye Xingbei had become a habit.

Subconsciously, he thought that Ye Xingbei didn’t need to be valued.

Whether for the sake of Ye Family, or for himself, Ye Xingbei could be sacrificed.

If Ye Xingbei were Jiang Zhengxing’s daughter, he could reason that his daughter was paying off his father’s debts.

But Ye Xingbei wasn’t.

Beibei was his uncle’s daughter.

His father had grown up under the care of his uncle.

The uncle was the person whom his father admired the most.

Furthermore, it was while searching for his father that his uncle and aunt tragically passed away in a car accident.

Even though Ye Xingbei’s identity had changed, his mentality hadn’t.

His care and affection for Ye Xingbei had only been verbal.

Deep down, Ye Xingbei was still the same person whom he could freely berate and sacrifice.

Once he realized this, he was ashen-faced.

When did he become such a disgusting person?

What did Beibei do wrong for him to treat her like this?

Both Gu Junzhu and Chi Zhan were right.

If Shi Shijun was going to lash out at Ye Xingli, he would protect her at all costs.

But because it was Ye Xingbei, he easily cast her aside.

He shook his head, unable to face the repulsive person he had become.

After a long while, he closed his eyes and took a moment to calm himself. When he opened his eyes, he looked at Ye Xingbei guiltily, “I’m sorry, Beibei. I was wrong! I’m not worthy of being your brother.”

“It’s okay,” Ye Xingbei shrugged nonchalantly, a slight smirk on her face, “I know, you’re just used to it. It’s fine, I’m used to it too.”

After all, Ye Xinglan had never treated her well. Nothing had changed, and she felt no loss.

Regardless, if the Ye Family hadn’t taken her in back then, she and Xiao Shu wouldn’t have had five years of peace.

In the end, she did owe the Ye Family.

If cousins get along well, they’re as close as siblings.

If they don’t get along, even actual siblings can turn against each other, let alone cousins?

She understood this.

But her heart also felt cold.

When she didn’t know that Ye Xinglan was her real cousin, no matter how he treated her, she was always grateful.

She was grateful that Ye Xinglan provided a shelter for her and Xiao Shu, and made her into the shining “Star Glitter”.

But once she knew that Ye Xinglan was her cousin, her mentality changed.

She started to yearn for more.

She yearned for Ye Xinglan to treat her kindly as a real cousin should.

To put it bluntly, she was just being too greedy.

But she couldn’t control it.

If Ye Xinglan couldn’t treat her as a sister, then she couldn’t unconditionally be good to Ye Xinglan like before.

Perhaps she was an ungrateful wolf?

She didn’t know.

She only knew that Ye Xinglan had hurt her deeply and made her exhausted.

She no longer wanted to live this way.

She looked at Ye Xinglan and asked softly, “Brother Lan, do you think I’ve repaid the debt I owe you?”

Ye Xinglan was stunned. His expression became even more guilty, “Beibei, don’t say that. You never owed me anything.”
