Chapter 235: 233 Online Game: When a top player meets another top player (13) First update_2
Xu family’s patriarch looked at Ye Qingkun without any expression, "Do you think you have enough money now? It’s a pity you are too old. Our Xu family’s kids all attended high school abroad, learning etiquette, talent, and immersing themselves in realms ordinary people can’t access."
"You need to think clearly about what’s truly good for your daughter, and consider her future prospects. Or would you rather she follow in your footsteps, mingling with the riffraff of society, running around on construction sites?"
The Xu family is a prestigious clan, with connections to over half of Green City’s notable families.
If word got out that Shaohua returned, both the Xu family and our family would end up as a laughing stock.
But Xu Xiaohui was the patriarch’s most beloved daughter and the sole female star in her generation of the Xu family.
So when Xu Xiaohui made a request, the Xu patriarch didn’t stop her.
The patriarch simply crushed Ye Qingkun’s years of hard work beneath his feet.
He had always looked down on Ye Qingkun, a man of rural origins, so he didn’t even bother to feign kindness, "I have already summoned your daughter. The Xu family has made arrangements for her to attend a university abroad, as well as her future direction after graduation. I’ll let her choose for herself. She’s an adult now and knows what’s best for her."
"You all!" Ye Qingkun’s face changed color.
He knew that the Xu family patriarch had always despised his background.
All three generations of the Ye family were peasants.
But he never expected the Xu patriarch to go this far.
He knew he was now considered a successful man, but he also knew that he couldn’t compare to the Xu family’s heritage.
"You are also aware of the kind of business you’re in," the Xu patriarch warned Ye Qingkun with a stern look, "I don’t believe a businessman like you doesn’t have any flaws. Just say the word, and do you believe the authorities will be knocking at your door tomorrow?"
"I don’t want to make things difficult for you, and you wouldn’t want your daughter to witness you being arrested, would you?"
He was satisfied to see the pallor of Ye Qingkun’s face.
At that moment, the door of the private room was pushed open.
"Shao... Shaohua?" Ye Qingkun stood up somewhat off balance.
Even a bit fearful.
Xu Xiaohui also stood up instinctively at the sight of the girl.
Most features of the girl’s face resembled hers, but she wasn’t as gentle; instead, she had an added edge.
Perhaps it was a mother’s instinct at the sight of Shaohua, but Xu Xiaohui couldn’t conceal the joy on her face.
The Xu patriarch scrutinized Shaohua with a critical eye, finding not a single hair out of place from head to toe, which eased much of his dissatisfaction.
She looked like the well-bred lady of a grand household.
Such composure rooted deep in one’s marrow required solid ability to uphold. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Initially, Xu Xiaohui had to persuade him to come, and he was quite unwilling; now, he felt somewhat less so.
Thinking this, he repeated what he had just told Ye Qingkun to Shaohua.
He believed that the smart girl before him would make the most correct choice.
Ye Qingkun opened his mouth, but after a long pause, he still couldn’t express what he wanted to say. His smile was like a cry, "Shaohua, that’s your mother... you’ve been trying to find... you, go with her..."
He remembered how a very young Shaohua had once asked for her mother while in his arms.
Such a little child, lifting her head to question why other children had mothers.
Ye Qingkun held back the tears welling up in his eyes.
If the Xu family truly wanted to fight over this, he knew he stood no chance.
The heritage of the Xu family was indeed strong.
Shaohua handed a watch box to Ye Qingkun, then slid one hand into her pocket and headed straight for the door without looking back at the two from the Xu family.
Her expression was cold and her demeanor indifferent, as the light from outside the window almost lent her exquisite face a hint of the ethereal.
The patriarch’s eyes sharpened, "Do you know what you just refused?"
"Shaohua, I’m your mother!" Xu Xiaohui covered her mouth in disbelief as she watched Shaohua leave.
Ye Qingkun was also puzzled, glancing at Shaohua hesitantly, "Aren’t you always looking for your mother..."
"Looking for what mother," the girl’s fair and indifferent face slightly turned, and with a disdainful gaze she said, "Dad, did you forget that the grass over my mom’s grave is already more than ten meters tall?"
"Right, right, I almost forgot!" Ye Qingkun’s eyes brightened, just as he noticed the watch in the box, "Did you buy this? Honestly, I don’t need a new watch, why did you buy something so expensive for me?"
"Yes," Shaohua rolled her eyes and, seeing Ye Qingkun still in a daze, she lazily turned to face him, "Let’s go."
The tone of her voice trailed off with a lazy flavor.
"Oh, oh." Ye Qingkun hurriedly followed Shaohua out the door.
Unable to hide his joy.
Seeing that Shaohua truly just walked away, the expression on the Xu patriarch’s face darkened.
He had never been ignored like this in his life.
Xu Xiaohui was even more devastated, "Shaohua, are you willing to live such a plain and hard life forever? With your intelligence, coming out as the Number One Scholar in the sciences to get into S University, you clearly have a better future ahead of you. Why would you make the same choice as your dad?!"
Ye Qingkun originally had the option for a better life.
He didn’t want it, to toil so desperately for a life of hardship, and to visit construction sites every day.
Clearly having better choices. Why insist on this one?
She knew Shaohua couldn’t let go of pride to take the loss, fighting just to save face.
"Dad, try to persuade Shaohua, please. I’m her mother, I can’t just not care about her," Xu Xiaohui begged the patriarch.
The patriarch had someone hold back Xu Xiaohui, and, watching Shaohua’s retreating back, he said, "You will definitely regret your decision today."
Shaohua tugged at the corner of her mouth.
A lazy smile curled up.
Tsk, afraid of who?
Her phone buzzed with a message from Long Hair Reaching Waist—
