Carrying The Villains Baby 2

“You almost died on the operating table. Is that what you want to say?” Mrs. Jeon scoffed, “Don’t keep taking that out as your excuse. It was your choice to give birth to her, not Lili’s. It wasn’t her fault that you almost died on the operating table either. You keep brooding over this issue and blathering on about it. You use this as an excuse to say that Lisa owes you. Fine then, what she owes you, I’ll repay for her as her mother-in-law. This 30 million yuan can be considered buying out the mother-daughter affection between the two of you. Since you haven’t liked her since she was born, then you don’t have to regard her as your daughter!”

“In-law, don’t be so impulsive!” Father Ye tried playing mediator. He harshly glared at his wife, then he smiled at Mrs. Jeon and said, “I know that we’ve treated Lili unfairly, but in-law, no matter what, you have to give us a chance to make it up to her, right? Look, we truly regret it now. We shouldn’t have treated our daughter unequally. Although we were biased, as parents, we still hope that our children will be well. The relationship between parents and child, how… How can it be bought out with money?!”

Mrs. Jeon looked at Father Ye. “Let me level with you. Mr. Ye, my father-in-law had sought you out and requested you marry your older daughter to Jungkook in exchange for the Jeon’s financial help. You agreed.  When Ye Ji Eun backed out of the marriage, you had Lisa marry into the Jeon’s. Back then, why didn’t you tell us that the relationship between parents and child can’t be measured with money? When you pushed Lisa into a living h*ll by marrying her off, why didn’t you think that Lisa was also your daughter?!”

“This…” Father Ye awkwardly said, “Mrs. Jeon, it wasn’t that bad. Your family, the Jeon’s, is a prominent family. How can it be considered a living h*ll?! I didn’t do it entirely out of selfishness either. I was also doing it for the sake of Lili’s future.”

“For the sake of her future?” Mrs. Jeon smiled even more sarcastically. “My father-in-law clearly said the marriage was for the sake of bringing Jungkook good luck! Jungkook had been unconscious for almost a year by then. We didn’t even know if he would ever wake up. Mr. Ye, are you telling me you can see the future and you knew back then that Beichuan would wake up?”

She pierced through the flimsy lies and didn’t leave any room for excuses.

Father Ye’s gaze was flustered, and he didn’t dare to look Mrs. Jeon in the eye.

Mother Jeon said, “So, Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye, I advise that you take this money and draw a clear line with Ye Lisa. Don’t come looking for her or bother her. I don’t think Lili wants to be bothered by you either.”

“This won’t work.” Mother Ye shook her head. “I risked my life to give birth to Ye Lisa. I want to ask her in person if that’s what she wants. Otherwise, I’ll always be her mother.”

“Mrs. Ye, you can’t just give birth to a child, but not care for it. When you made the choice of ignoring her, you lost your right to be her mother.” Mrs. Jeon stared at Mother Ye. “I’m tired of going back and forth on this matter. I don’t want to say anymore on this subject. I hope this is the last time I see something like that online. If you can’t handle drawing a clear line with Lisa and having Ye Ji Eun leave the entertainment industry, then I’ll have to step in. If I have to be the one that steps in and takes care of this, I can’t guarantee there won’t be damage to your reputation.”

This time, Father Ye didn’t refute.

The 30 million yuan in front of him was a huge sum of money. He had long been unable to make ends meet with the low salary he drawed from Ye Corporation. Ye Ji Eun hadn’t succeeded yet in the entertainment industry. She spent more than she earned. Weighed down with such a heavy financial burden, Father Ye was truly tempted by the 30 million yuan.

However, he hesitated. He was sure that Ye Ji Eun’s future value in the entertainment industry would exceed 30 million yuan.

Whether to choose immediate benefits or a plan that would generate benefits in the future, that was a choice all business people had to make.

This decision was complicated by Mrs. Jeon’s tone. Based on her tone, it sounded as if the Jeon’s would force Ye Ji Eun to leave the entertainment industry anyways if she wouldn’t leave. In this way, not only would his long-term investment fail, the immediate benefit would slip out from his hands too.
