Content Warning : Homophobia, mention of past abuse

"Si Ye, you are crazy!" Ms. Tao exploded as soon as she heard Si Ye's answer. The calmness on her face could no longer be seen, "You are a monster! After so many years, I thought you would have changed already. Why are you doing this to me? Have you always planned to retaliate against me like this?"

Si Ye allowed her to abuse him, and the more indifferent he was, the angrier Ms. Tao became. She grit her teeth and glared at Si Ye, "Why was it your brother who died and not you!"

"Si Ye, you have to keep in mind that the Si family originally belonged to your brother. When that child is found, you are going to return everything from the Si family to him. In his absence, Yichen is your brother's adopted son, of course he is the one who has the most right for the inheritance."

"You can't give Si family to an outsider!"

Si Ye's deep eyes stared at Ms. Tao and quietly said: "I just want to get married, your reaction doesn't have to be that big."

Ms. Tao said disapprovingly: "Don't think that I don't know what your calculations are. You and Chen Xu would marry in order to get your father's inheritance."

"I won't agree. It is stated in the will made by your father before his death that you can get the inheritance only if I approve of your marriage. It is impossible for me to approve." When Si Ye was adolescent, Ms Tao and her husband discovered that there were homosexual-related books on Si Ye's bookshelf. They immediately questioned him., Si Ye who had been abroad for several years, and had read and taken to heart the guidance of the books, did not think there was anything wrong with him, so he had freely admitted it .

But what he didn't expect was that his parents could not accept him as a homosexual at all, they even thought he was a pervert, a monster, and wanted to send him to the hospital for treatment. Originally, they thought Si Ye was not as good as his older brother. After knowing that Si Ye was homosexual, they did not show any good face to him. Verbal abuse and cold violence were commonplace. If Si Ye's elder brother Si Jinwen hadn't stopped them, they would have sent Si Ye to a hospital for conversion therapy.

Later, Si Jinwen and his wife died unexpectedly. The most common sentence his parents said to him after that was why was it his brother who died, and not him.

Si Ye had thought that over time, he would reach a settlement with his parents. It was not until after his father died and the lawyer read his will that Si Ye realized that his father had not accepted his sexual orientation till his death.

"You will agree." Si Ye took out the envelope and put it on the table. Ms. Tao frowned, not sure why Si Ye was so confident.

She didn't change her expression until she opened the envelope and saw the photo inside.

"You follow me?"

She was so ashamed and angry that she even wanted to swallow Si Ye alive.

Si Ye didn't take it seriously, and his slender fingers tapped on the table with ease, "Don't do anything wrong and you will not fear the ghosts knocking at your door¹. Since you dare to do it, you should be mentally prepared to be discovered."

Ms. Tao trembled with anger, "Si Ye, I am your mother, you will be struck by lightning if you treat me like this."

Si Ye said with a faint smile, "Really? If that's the case, you might as well worry about whether my dad will come to you at night."

He stood up, fixed the wrinkles on his shirt, and said, "He must have never expected that you would be having an affair with your niece's husband when you were already sixty-three years old."
