Reborn I will never be a dog lick

In the room, the Ye family and his son seemed to be eating quietly.

Outside the door, Xu Zhi Muye Luojia and Aunt Song came to the kitchen to wait.

Aunt Song handed Ye Luojia a bowl of chicken soup.

"Jiajia, drink some soup to warm yourself up."

Just as I was preparing to eat, these things suddenly happened, and no one had a good meal.

Ye Luojia looked at Aunt Song, she stretched out her hand and took the small bowl: "Thank you."

"That's right. I'll make some side dishes for you two. It will take a while and a half for your father and your grandfather to come out. Let's eat in the kitchen."

Aunt Song turned around with a smile, put on her apron and started cooking skillfully again.

Ye Luojia looked at her back in a daze.

Aunt Song is from the Song family in Kyoto.

Although the Song family was only a second-rate family in Kyoto, it still had a much higher status than Ye Luojia's mother.

I remember that after my mother passed away, Aunt Song came to the house the next year. As expected, she was Ye Luojia's stepmother.

But as a child, Ye Luojia had a natural resistance to terms like stepmother.

Every time Aunt Song came, although Ye Luojia would not make a fuss, she would always sit quietly at the door of the backyard.

Don't let anyone in, not even Ye Qinghai.

After repeated contacts, Aunt Song also knew that this little girl might have some misunderstandings about her.

So I took the initiative to discuss with Ye Qinghai not to get married yet. When Ye Luojia grows up, he may slowly let go and accept her.

This wait lasted nearly ten years.

Instead of easing the relationship between father and daughter, Ye Qinghai and Ye Luojia, there is a tendency for them to stay away from each other until they die.

Aunt Song also never had a formal identity and stayed with Ye Qinghai. Every time Ye Luojia came home, she would always greet him warmly.

Ye Luojia knew that she sincerely wanted to have a good relationship with him, and perhaps she had automatically assumed the role of mother sometimes.

However, Ye Luojia could not let go.

After all, this originally belonged to my mother. No matter how kind others are to her... they are not her mother after all.

She looked at Aunt Song, who was cooking at the moment, and noticed that the food on the table today was actually her mother's specialty back then.

Perhaps subconsciously, she also wanted to give Ye Luojia a mother-like feeling and get along with her for ten years.

Maybe she no longer seeks any identity, but her concern for Ye Luojia has been increasing.

"Aunt Song, can you tell me about my grandma?"

Ye Luojia suddenly asked this question, and what Ye Bei said just now always echoed in his mind.

Aunt Song paused in her cutting of vegetables and looked at Ye Luojia, considering that Ye Luojia rarely took the initiative to chat with her.

With some memories in her eyes, she said, "I heard your father and people in the family say that your old man experienced a lot of ups and downs when he was young.

The Ye family was just a small shop a long time ago, doing a little business, and eventually it gradually became a bit larger, starting from a textile factory. When the old man attended an entrepreneur chamber of commerce, he met the daughter of a local banker, and the two of them developed.

Soon, I will get married soon, and I will be your eldest grandma."

The old man had three wives, and the first one was the mother of Ye Rong and Ye Bei.

Aunt Song continued: "Later, due to some competitive reasons, the family's weaving factory was taken away by the opponent through trickery, and the old man almost lost his life. For the safety of his family, the old man fled alone.

He was desperate and hiding in a poor fishing village by the sea. When he almost starved to death, he was saved by a fisherman. While the fisherman's daughter was taking care of him, the two gradually fell in love. Later, his rival also failed to manage well and collapsed, so the old man returned home.

The bearer of the sedan chair has married the fisherman's daughter home, who is also your own grandmother."

Ye Luojia was stunned. This was the first time he knew about this matter. This kind of thing was a secret belonging to the older generation, and he had never heard his father mention it.

I just remember that my grandma was an old lady who loved to laugh, was very kind, and was very good at making fish soup for her to drink.

When Aunt Song said this, she suddenly sighed softly: "Although the old man loves your grandma very much, the Ye family has become a prestigious enterprise in Kyoto at that time.

The difference in status between the two people has always caused some criticism in the family, especially... your eldest grandma, after all, comes from a banking family, so she will inevitably have a grudge against your grandma's appearance, and there is always some rejection in the family.

"

When Aunt Song said this, her voice gradually became softer.

Ye Luojia listened silently. This kind of experience was exactly the same as that of his mother.

"However, your grandma gave birth to your father later. At that time, the mother was still more valuable than the son. After that, life became a little better, but overtly and covertly, she was still ostracized.

In fact, the reason for today's situation has been laid for a long time. The bigger the family, the more fierce the fight between these half-brothers. In order to make his family live a better life, your father only

If you can work hard enough to take away your father's identity as the leader of the Ye family from the two Ye family brothers, the conflict between them has become irreconcilable."

Aunt Song said with a hint of sadness in her tone.

Ye Luojia listened, but her eyes were a little lost. She seemed to be talking to herself: "If this is the case, then why did he abandon us again in the first place..."

Since he knows this feeling of being excluded, why has he become such a person himself?

Aunt Song was chopping vegetables and whispering: "No one wants to be a bad person at the beginning, but reality will always treat everyone indiscriminately, and unknowingly, it turns us into the people we hate most."

people……"

…

In the room, the Ye family and his father sat face to face.

Ye Qinghai poured a glass of wine for the old man and filled a glass himself, with a long voice.

"Ever since I can remember, I have felt that I am incompatible with the Ye family, and that feeling cannot be eliminated by just one or two people being nice to you.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is a kind of contempt coming from different classes.

My mother is a very optimistic person, but I have also seen her looking at the sky late at night, guarding a bowl of cold fish soup, waiting for you to come back, even though she never waited for you to come back.

"

Ye Qinghai looked at his father, and the old man's old eyes also showed complicated expressions.

"I used to not understand you, and even resent you, but my mother would always tell me.

Your father is here for this family. He also has his own things to do. He is just busy...

But I really don’t know what you are busy with, you are so busy that you can’t even take care of your own family.”

The old man's hands trembled. Although everything was vindicated back then, the Ye family's property had also been emptied out.

With so many people in the Ye family and so many mouths to eat, the old man had no choice but to start all over again.

Moreover, only by relying on the relationship between his eldest wife, the banker's daughter, can he quickly lead the Ye family to rise again.

But after all, he is controlled by others, even between husband and wife, but the old man has to pay more attention to the words of his eldest wife.

She also holds many shares in the family business.

And he knew that the eldest wife had some grudges against Ye Qinghai's mother.

The old man had to act like he was neglecting her on purpose. This was also to protect her. After all, in such a big family, sometimes being neglected might help avoid many whirlpools of power struggles.

Of course, these are all the old man's wishful thinking. Although his approach ensures their safety.

But the void in his soul was something he never had time to make up for in his lifetime.

The old man looked at his son and chose Ye Qinghai to take charge of the Ye family many years ago out of his desire to compensate.

Otherwise, due to family disputes, no matter how powerful Ye Qinghai is, it will be difficult for him to seize the inheritance rights from the deep-rooted forces of Ye Rong and Ye Bei.

The old man couldn't explain this to Ye Qinghai.

He sighed slightly.

Ye Qinghai said: "I really couldn't understand it before, but when I reached this position, I suddenly could understand why you became like this.

Back then, the reason why I married Jiajia's mother despite your objections was probably because I saw her pitiful appearance and thought of my mother back then.

I love her very much and want to spend a good life with her, but this is the first time I feel the chain of oppression and contempt between families.

Back then, no matter how wronged my mother was, she would always tell me tactfully that she was fine, and she would always silently resist the pressure from the outside world.

But when I grew up, all these pressures came to me, and I realized that there are things in this world that are far more terrifying than poverty, and that is the prejudices in people's minds."

Ye Qinghai took a sip of wine and showed a bitter smile: "I originally thought that it would be enough for me to be nice to her.

However, people in the family will always reject me in a subtle way, especially since my wife and I have been married for several years and only have one child, Jiajia.

In a family like ours, if you don’t have a son, you will always be inferior to others. However, her body has been diagnosed with problems and she has been unable to conceive a child. Even if she can conceive, her body cannot support her to give birth to a second child.

It's a child.

This made some cynicism in the family even worse.

Once I saw with my own eyes that my wife was secretly wiping tears in the kitchen.

From that day on, I decided that I wanted to give them the best life, but this road was not easy. Maybe it was also a man’s weakness. During the days when I worked hard outside, I gradually lost myself, just like a

Just like the nouveau riche who suddenly became rich but became poor.

I am addicted to my achievements, and to the way that I can control the wind and rain by ascending to a high position, and make people who once looked down on me bow down to me.

However, I forgot my original intention, and even more, I forgot why I was working hard for all this.

By the time I came to my senses, she didn’t have much time to wait for me to regret it.”

When Ye Qinghai said this, there were even some tears in his eyes: "It's like when my mother passed away. She was already lying on the hospital bed and couldn't get up, but she still told me with a weak smile that she didn't want to

Blame it on me, but I just felt sorry for Jiajia and asked me to take good care of her in the future. If possible, find a stepmother for Jiajia who can love her...

But over such a long time, there have been too many gaps between me, an incompetent father, and my only daughter.

I remember her mother’s last wish, I wanted to see Jiajia marry someone who treats her well one day, and have a happy family, so that she can feel at ease.

Therefore, I always want to introduce young talents in Kyoto to Jiajia. I have never wanted to force Jiajia to marry anyone for the sake of profit.

But I know too well that it is really difficult for people from different classes to obtain the same happiness, so I became a little tougher, which made the relationship between Jiajia and I even worse..."

Ye Qinghai shook his head and looked at his father, a man who had always remained calm and composed in the face of his family's rebellion, now like a child again.

"Dad, we are successful entrepreneurs in our career, but in our family, we are all losers.

We all only care about our careers and always think that once we have a career, we have everything.

But in the end, it seemed to be all in vain.

Such a tragedy has happened to us twice, and I don’t want Jiajia to make the same mistake as us."

After Ye Qinghai finished speaking, there was another long silence in the room.

The old man looked at this small house that looked a bit "shabby" compared to the magnificent manor next to it.

He also thought about the years when he was in poverty, when the living environment in that small fishing village by the sea was not as good as here.

I can't even guarantee three meals a day, I can only eat some simple stewed pickled vegetables and sea fish.

However, there was no time when life was so relaxed and comfortable. Those were the most depressed but also the most purely happy years in his ups and downs life.

Moreover, the foundation he had worked hard for his whole life was originally intended to make the family members worry-free.

But the scenes of today's fight, watching his sons turn against each other, made him couldn't help but think about it.

What is the purpose of this life?

I didn’t cherish it when I was young, but I regretted it again when I was seventy years old.

However, the old man still finds it difficult to accept what happened to Jiajia.

He thought for a long time and looked at his son: "Do you think that Xu Zhimu can give Jiajia what she wants?"

Ye Qinghai looked outside the door and said, "I know my daughter fairly well.

Jiajia has been hidden away since her mother left. She does not lack a good life, but she only lacks someone who can care about her."

Ye Qinghai looked at the most inconspicuous bowl of tomato and egg noodles on the table.

"I used to think that I could compensate her by giving her a life without worries about food and clothing, but I never thought of making her the most ordinary bowl of tomato and egg noodles.

When we had dinner together just now, Jiajia looked at that boy with a proud expression, as if she was telling me that I had chosen him and I was going to marry him.

I haven't seen that kind of expression in a long time.

I don’t know if our choice was right or not, but we have followed the path that others think is right our entire lives, and now, we know better than anyone whether we are winners or losers.”

"But, what if this Xu Zhimu changes in the future..." The old man always makes the worst-case scenario in his mind.

After all, Xu Zhimu is now young and proud, and even more brilliant than when they were young.

His future achievements will definitely be limitless, and he can choose almost everything. At that time, will he change his appearance for the sake of higher power and money?

"No, I have met him twice. He is different from us."

Ye Qinghai shook his head, and his tone was somewhat meaningful: "Although he is young, I always feel that he knows many things more thoroughly than we think. He is a greedy person, but if a man is not greedy, he will become

No atmosphere.

Moreover, he was so greedy and arrogant that even though he knew that we might be disadvantageous to him, he still came to Ye's house alone.

Compared with him, we are more like hesitant hypocrites."

Ye Qinghai looked at his father, he sighed deeply, shook his head and smiled: "Dad, we can't help ourselves in this life. When it comes to Jiajia's generation, let them choose the life they want.

"

The old man also looked at the simple and warm food on the table. He raised his head and sighed, without saying anything, he just picked up the wine glass and drank it.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

At the door, Aunt Song opened the door.

Ye Luojia was holding a basin of milky white soup, and the fragrance filled the house.

This is a basin of fish soup.

Simple sea fish, no expensive side dishes, just some ordinary pickles and dumplings.

But it wafts out the most appetizing fragrance.

The old man was stunned for a moment, looking at the basin of fish soup, his lips trembled slightly.

"This is the fish soup that Jiajia and Zhimu made together. You can try it while it's hot."

Aunt Song smiled and spoke.

After putting down the fish soup, Xu Zhimu took the initiative to take up the task of serving the soup, handed it to the old man first, and said.

"Grandpa Ye, something happened suddenly just now. I haven't had time to introduce myself yet. My name is Xu Zhimu, Jiajia's boyfriend. This is our first meeting. I made some soup. Please drink some to warm yourself up."

Xu Zhimu said this very naturally. In his eyes, it didn't matter whether the old man was the old head of the Ye family who could influence everything in Kyoto.

In his eyes, what's more important is that she is Jiajia's grandfather and will also be his relative in the future.

Jiajia’s boyfriend...

This title made Ye Luojia feel a little dazed. Her delicate face turned slightly rosy and she looked at her grandfather.

What surprised her was that grandpa didn't show much surprise or excitement.

Although it is a bit complicated, this attitude is already difficult.

The old man looked at Xu Zhimu for a moment, looked at the fish soup in his hand, and moved his lips.

He said nothing, but still stretched out his hand to take the bowl in his hand and nodded to Xu Zhimu.

…

Family dinner.

The meal was somewhat silent, but such an atmosphere was already very rare for such a complicated family.

The old man didn't say a few words from beginning to end, but when he finally left, he looked at Xu Zhimu and Ye Luojia again.

"The Ye family's affairs have not been settled yet. Next time... we have a chance to have dinner together."

"And Jiajia, grandpa knows that you have been wronged before, but this is still your home. The family's property that originally belonged to you will also be in your name these days. I still hope that you can come back and see if everything is fine.

look."

After the old man finished speaking, he looked deeply at the two people, and the old housekeeper who followed him helped him leave.

This sentence also shows some of his attitudes. The matter of Xu Zhimu and Ye Luojia remains to be investigated.

However, it is very rare to get the old man to relent to this extent.

Ye Qinghai drank a little too much and was swaying a little. After the old man left, he motioned for the two of them to sit down.

"Jiajia, the company under your second uncle's name originally had some plans for you. This is something that belongs to you. I still hope you can take over it."

Ye Qinghai looked at his daughter. Now he knew that his daughter had found someone she could trust.

What he can do now is to prepare enough capital for his daughter, whether it is used as a dowry, so that her daughter can be prosperous.

He was sorry for Ye Luojia too much, and now this is the best thing he can do to make up for Ye Luojia.

Ye Luojia looked at her father. She thought for a long time and finally nodded lightly.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! She agreed not for any property, but because of what her mother once said.

Ye Qinghai smiled happily, his eyes were a little red, and he looked at Xu Zhimu: "What you and Jiajia have to prove is not to me, but to Jiajia's mother. Her mother was the most

What I hope for is to see Jiajia recognized by everyone in the family.

As a loser as a father, I couldn't do it, so I hope you can do it."

Ye Luojia's eyes flashed and he looked at his father. Today, Ye Qinghai was particularly sentimental and it was the first time he said such words.

A man, especially a man who stands tall and stomps his feet can make many people sleepless and sleepless.

When one day such a person says such a request, it proves that he is really old and he really has someone he cares about.

Ye Luojia didn't know what feeling was emerging in her heart.

Yes, my mother is a person without much education. She always thinks that if she can treat others well, others can treat them well.

It's a pity that the reality is cruel, but the mother still maintains some innocence. She still hopes to see her precious daughter recognized by the whole family.

The corners of her eyes were slightly red, and a warm hand gently held her hand under the table, placing it in the palm of her hand and holding it gently.

Xu Zhimu looked at her, he showed a warm smile, his eyes were deep and serious: "I promised Jiajia a long time ago, and I promise you today, too. This is a promise between men."

Ye Qinghai sighed a few times and nodded.

It was late at night, Ye Qinghai drank a lot, and his heart was extremely complicated. After this night, the Ye family would change.

"Go back. I've encountered so many things today and I'm tired. Take a good rest."

Ye Qinghai stood up unsteadily. Aunt Song went over to help him, but hesitated and retracted her hand.

It was like a tacit understanding, as long as they were in front of Ye Luojia, they would keep some distance.

Ye Luojia had already seen all this, and her eyes moved, remembering the last words Aunt Song said to her in the kitchen.

She and Xu Zhimu walked to the door. Finally, she turned back and looked at her father and Aunt Song. She pursed her lips.

Finally, he spoke softly: "It's dark, don't run around after drinking, Aunt Song, please take care of my dad."

This simple sentence made both Aunt Song and Ye Qinghai stunned for a long time.

Ye Qinghai's breathing also accelerated slightly, and Aunt Song couldn't help but feel a little sour in her eyes.

She looked at Ye Luojia: "Don't worry, Jiajia, you guys should go slower on the road."

"Um."

Ye Luojia took Xu Zhimu and left.

Inside the house, Ye Qinghai looked at the direction the two people left for a long time.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.

"Brother Ye... let me help you go back and rest."

Aunt Song said softly.

Ye Qinghai slowly withdrew his eyes, the drunkenness in his eyes dissipated a little, and he looked up at the luxurious manor in front of him.

"Tomorrow the Ye family is going to change. My stupid second brother is just being pushed onto the stage after all. The people behind him probably won't be able to sit still either."

Ye Qinghai's eyes flashed with countless gleams: "No matter whether my guess is right or not, no matter what happens to the Ye family in the future, I will keep the share that belongs to Jiajia for her."
