IPWTVC[COMPLETED]

🌸 Chapter 143 - 144 🌸

Ye Zhen didn't feel anything as she listened to Mother Ye promising how things would be different in the future.

Mother Ye’s bias had already become an ingrained habit, so she couldn’t even see how she was treating one daughter unfairly.

Mother Ye might have had an epiphany and regretted her actions. She could even genuinely want to make things up to her younger daughter. But in her heart, Ye Qing was like her palm and Ye Zhen was like the back of her hand. There was flesh on both sides of the hand, but in the end, there was more flesh on the palm.

Seeing that Ye Zhen was remaining silent, Father Ye took the lead in responding. Mother Ye was still going on and on about how Ye Qing's life was so difficult when Father Ye tugged his wife's sleeve and loudly coughed.

It was only then that Mother Ye came to her senses.

Seeing that expressionless look on Ye Zhen's face, she realized her error.

"Zhenzhen, don't listen to your mom's nonsense. That's just how she is. She always runs around like a chicken with its head cut off whenever you or your older sister get into a predicament. She's just anxious. Don't take it to heart. If this endorsement issue is difficult, then never mind. Ye Qing made the choice herself. If there are consequences to her choice, then she has to bear it herself. No one can share that burden with her."

Mother Ye was upset when she heard her husband's words. She glared at him and said, "What do you mean by that last part? Zhenzhen is Mrs. Lu now. She has everything and is lacking in nothing. She doesn't need me to worry about her. But Qingqing is different. Isn't Qingqing your daughter too? Don't you feel bad for her? She's suffering in the entertainment industry."

"I tried to persuade her from entering the entertainment industry from the very beginning. She wouldn't listen to me. What can I do?"

"That's because you're incompetent!" Mother Ye swiftly stood up. "Ye Zhenting, if she didn't have a useless father like you, would she have to put up with the hardship of being at the mercy of other people's moods in the entertainment industry?"

These words were the same as blatantly slapping him in the face. Father Ye retorted, "Enough! If she feels that she's putting up with hardship, then she can just come home! If I can afford to support you, I can support her too!"

Father Ye and Mother Ye rarely spoke against each other in front of others. He only yelled so loudly because he felt embarrassed by her words. Mother Ye also felt regretful that she had spoken without thinking. With a sigh, she sat back down and remained silent.

"Zhenzhen, don't take this to heart. Your mom is just anxious. If it was you in Ye Qing's position, your mom would feel the same way."

Ye Zhen hadn't intended to be a participant in that discussion. After all, this had nothing to do with her, and she didn't want to listen to their grandiose words either. "Mom, if you're genuinely worried about Ye Qing and think that she's suffering by being in the entertainment industry, why not have her quit being an actress? Hasn't dad already said he can afford to support a daughter?"

"But... Qingqing has already become known to the public. It would be bad for her to give up halfway. Moreover, her favorability is good amongst netizens. She has a lot of fans that like her. It would be such a waste for her to quit now. Right now, Qingqing is only missing an opportunity. Beichuan is Qingqing's brother-in-law, and it's just a small favor. How could he not help her?"

After speaking to this point, Mother Ye sighed. "That strange combination of circumstances that led to you marrying into the Lu family could be considered good luck that your older sister gave you. Otherwise, she would be Mrs. Lu right now, have access to all the resources she needs, and there would be no need to ask Beichuan for help."
