Chapter 991: Sin

“Your brother still needs to get married in the future.”

Madam Ye’s words completely discarded her own dignity.

In their daily interactions, it was always Ye Wanting’s delusion.

It was only because Ye Cheng wasn’t there that she occasionally got a bit of attention.

Once Ye Cheng returned, she became nothing.

No matter what, you always have an escape prepared for him, right?

Even if it means living under someone else’s roof, facing daily insults from the aunt.

Even if it means going to the emergency room, you have to wait and see if Ye Wanting has a way.

Clinging to the last bit of money to buy a tombstone for her son, Ye Cheng!

“What’s he getting a wife for?

He’s so messed up, what’s he got to ruin a decent girl’s life with!”

“Wanting!” Madam Ye was infuriated, “The Ye Family must pass on its bloodline, you can’t do it.”

“Pass on what, does your family have a throne to inherit?!”

Whoa!

Yaen Chi was shocked.

He deliberately looked at Madam Ye’s reaction.

She was scared, her gaze dodging, her face slightly embarrassed, and even a hint of fear in her expression.

But she wasn’t too surprised by Ye Wanting’s sudden outburst.

Apparently, there had been times before when Ye Wanting lost control of her emotions.

“Come and see, take a good look at your beloved son, what has he become now!”

Ye Wanting clasped Madam Ye’s shoulder, pulled her to the bedside, and harshly pushed her down, “Look at him, gambling, taking drugs, tormenting himself to the point of being neither human nor ghost.

Every time he comes back he doesn’t even bring you a fruit peel, takes money and leaves, comes back when he’s broke, he even dared to swindle the money you need for life-saving surgery from the hospital to squander.

Such a person, I wish one day the debt collectors would kill him outside, better than him coming back time and again to bleed us dry!”

“Wanting, Wanting…

Wanting!”

Madam Ye was both anxious and panicked, she didn’t know where Ye Wanting got the strength to actually immobilize her.

The incessant questioning words rained down, her ears buzzing, unable to hear clearly.

Her eyes only fixed on Ye Cheng, and when Ye Cheng furrowed his brows, she suddenly turned around and pushed Ye Wanting away.

“Keep your voice down, you’ll disturb your brother!”

“…”

Heh heh.

Damn!

Yaen Chi pressed his lips tightly, pulled out a cigarette, and flicked the lighter until it sparked.

As the flame moved to the tobacco, he glanced at Ye Wanting, then pocketed the lighter again.

The cigarette was held between his fingers, unlit.

Her back was ramrod straight.

Suddenly not a sound.

If not for her shoulders slightly trembling, even standing just two steps away, he wouldn’t realize she was crying.

But even her crying was soundless, as soon as tears began to flow, she wiped them away instantly, took a deep breath, forcefully repressing the despair and bitterness bubbling inside her.

“How many more times…”

Her lips trembled, “How many more times does this family need saving?”

Madam Ye moved slightly.

“Every time life gets a bit better, he comes back and drains the house clean.

I’ve been dragged down by him for half my life, why should I spend the rest of my life on him?

What did I do wrong in my past life that I have to pay him back like this, is several lifetimes enough for atonement?”

“Is it enough for me to break free from him?

Huh?!”

Madam Ye leaned against the headboard without moving, her lips twitched several times, yet only managed to utter one sentence, “After all…

he is your own brother.”

A cliché of a sentence.

Repeated over and over.

Her ears could no longer bear it, yet she still couldn’t withstand the sentence’s destructive force upon her.
