You Are My Rare Passion

Chapter 23: Realizing All Of These, How Could Ye Xingbei Still Allow Them To Get Their Way?

They were so jealous that their eyes became bloodshot. Feeling extremely regretful, they wished that they could travel to the past and smack their stupid past selves awake with force.

They had been too dumb!

Too stupid!

Such a great man had actually been pushed away by themselves and even schemed into delivering to Ye Xingbei.

Their hearts were dripping blood out of jealousy and their facial features twisted in regret and distress.

Jiang Zhengxing’s complexion wasn’t too good either.

Gu Junzhu was the son that Gu family’s Old Master had later in life, so he had greater seniority than him.

If Gu Junzhu had not married Ye Xingbei, then according to their families’ seniorities, Gu Junzhu should call him “Third Elder Brother Jiang”.

But now that Gu Junzhu had become his son-in-law after marrying Ye Xingbei, he should correct himself and call him “Dad”.

However, Gu Junzhu didn’t actually correct himself and he also didn’t call him “Third Elder Brother Jiang”. Instead, he had addressed him very distantly as “CEO Jiang”.

He had even been thinking that it was a grand affair to become Gu Junzhu’s father-in-law.

Once others knew that he was Gu Junzhu’s father-in-law, they would all envy, flatter and respect him.

In the future, his career would progress smoothly and no one would dare to ‘attack’ him with shady means again!

He really wanted to hear Gu Junzhu call him “Dad” a few times.

But Gu Junzhu actually addressed him as “CEO Jiang”.

Immediately, he felt terribly upset in his heart but he didn’t dare to nitpick in front of Gu Junzhu. He could only suppress his unhappiness forcefully and greet Ye Xingbei cheerfully. “Bei Bei, you’re finally home. Dad missed you dreadfully these few years!”

As he spoke, he walked to Ye Xingbei’s side and patted her heavily on her shoulder. Staring at Ye Xingbei for a while, his eyes turned somewhat red and even became a little moist. “This child! Dad and Mom were afraid that you would go down the wrong path that year and said a few words to you. Who knew that you would have such a huge temper and actually ran away from home!”

“After you left home, your mom cried for a few days; she could neither eat nor sleep and lost so much weight in a few days. We sent people out to search for you—but this child—once you left, there was no news at all. You made Dad and Mom so terribly worried!”

“That’s right!” Xu Yanlai agreed and rushed up emotionally, then tugged on Ye Xingbei’s hand. She pulled her into a hug in her embrace and spoke in a choked voice, “Bei Bei, Mom missed you so badly! This foolish child, how can there be parents who don’t love their own children in this world? Dad and Mom were just too stressed about you that year and said a few heavy words. Who knew that you would be so sensitive and run away secretly by herself?”

As Xu Yanlai patted Ye Xingbei’s back, tears really fell down her face. “This child, you didn’t come home for so many years; did you want Mom to miss you to death? Mom looked around for you and dreamed of you every single day. How could you be so heartless to only come back to see Dad and Mom now?

Ye Xingbei was constantly taken aback by this couple’s weeping.

If Gu Junzhu had not disclosed her identity in the car, she may really have been fooled by this couple’s extraordinary acting skills right now.

Perhaps she would really suspect that there had been a misunderstanding that year.

She might have thought that Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai actually did love her but had been kept in the dark or deceived by a nasty person and that was why they drove her out of the Jiang family.

But now, no matter how great their acting skills were, Ye Xingbei wasn’t fooled by them at all.

She wasn’t their daughter!

They didn’t love her at all!

They were hugging her as they cried and spewed everything on their minds—saying how much they loved her. But that was only because she was already Gu Junzhu’s wife now.

Gu Junzhu was not on the brink of death. Furthermore, he treated her very well.

This couple didn’t dare to offend her anymore.

Once they smoothed out their relationship with her and made her acknowledge them as her Dad and Mom, they would definitely receive a ton of benefits as Gu Junzhu’s parents-in-law in the future.

Realizing all of these, how could Ye Xingbei still allow them to get their way?
