Sir, How About A Marriage

Ye Cheng ignored his parents' pointless questioning and directly asked Ye Xin, "Are the reporters making things difficult for you?"

Ye Xin, who was similarly disappointed by her parents' useless bickering, sobbed upon hearing her brother's direct question. She said through her tears, "I've been pestered by the reporters the entire morning. They kept asking me how I feel; how do they think I feel?"

Ye Cheng's heart softened when he saw the tears streaming down Ye Xin's face. He said in an attempt to coax her, "Don't worry. I'll arrange for two media outlets to do an exclusive interview with you tomorrow. We'll find a team to shoot the magazine covers for you as well, and we'll address this matter."

Ye Xin's tears did not stop as she asked, "Brother, why does Mu Chen treat me this way?"

Ye Cheng did not respond to Ye Xin's question. As a man, he knew Mu Chen had never been in love with Ye Xin. From the very beginning, Mu Chen had no romantic intentions toward Ye Xin at all. However, since he was Ye Xin's brother, he would naturally take his sister's side and put the blame on Mu Chen. In his opinion, if Mu Chen did not like his sister, Mu Chen should not have led his sister on. He was not certain he could help his sister with obtaining Mu Chen's heart so he could only comfort her.. "Ye Xin, you deserve a much better man."

"No, brother! I want Mu Chen! Get rid of that woman! Can't you think of a way to make her disappear?" Ye Xin said venomously.

Ye Cheng was stunned by Ye Xin's vicious words.

Ye Xin said through gritted teeth, "Brother, I don't care what method you use, but you have to make her disappear. I want Song Ning to disappear from M City. Mu Chen is mine. I don't care whose daughter she is. No one can take Mu Chen away from me!"

Upon hearing these words, Ye He, who had not been paying attention to the start of the conversation, interjected, "Who took Mu Chen away? Who's so capable?"

Gao Wen said indignantly, "Are you even listening at all?"

Ye He ignored his wife and directed his question to Ye Cheng and Ye Xin instead. "When did such a thing happen? Why didn't I know about it? My precious daughter, tell daddy why did Mu Chen break up with you? Why is it so difficult for you to hold onto a man? I've been telling you to settle down and get married, but you refused to listen. Look, now the chicken has flown the coop!"

Ye Xin who was filled with grievances with nowhere to vent them felt even more aggrieved when she heard these words. She stomped her feet and cried out before she ran back into her room, "I don't care! If Song Ning doesn't die, then I'll die instead!"

The three people in the living room were stunned upon hearing these words.

Gao Wen glared at Ye He fiercely before she asked Ye Cheng, "Son, did you hear that? What should we do now? In the past, we could've made a move on Song Ning. However, what can we do now that she's been revealed to be the Eldest Young Miss of the Ning family? How did the good relationship between Ye Xin and Mu Chen turn out this way?"

Ye Cheng sighed. "Mom, things are already like this, what else can we do? You should speak to your sister and advise her to give up on Mu Chen."

Gao Wen's expression changed to one that was brimming with dissatisfaction when she heard Ye Cheng's words. "How can I do that? Ye Cheng, why aren't you helping your sister? How can you utter such heartless words? Previously, I asked you to invite Mu Chen out so we can have a proper discussion with him, but you didn't even do anything. You couldn't even do your sister such a small favor. Is this how a brother should act?"

Ye Cheng's face paled slightly upon hearing his mother's accusatory words.

Ye He stepped forward and gently pushed Ye Cheng to the side before he said, "How can you blame your son for this matter? Don't tell me you want him to kidnap Mu Chen? If you ask me, I'd say this is all your fault. You're always trying to put on airs. I told you to establish a good relationship with the old lady from the Mu family, but you're not willing. Isn't it all your fault that the old lady has taken a fancy to a girl from another family?"

Gao Wen was so angered by her husband's words that she had difficulty breathing for a moment.

Meanwhile, Ye Cheng grabbed his coat that he had thrown on the couch earlier and turned around to leave without saying another word.

Upon seeing this, Gao Wen shrieked, "Where are you going?"

Without turning back, Ye Cheng said, "I'm going to look for Mu Chen."

...

After Ye Cheng got into the car, he sat in a daze with his hands on the steering wheel. Naturally, he could not go look for Mu Chen. The Ye family was not so influential where they could force Mu Chen into giving up on the person he loved.

After a moment, he brought his phone out and played the video of the press conference to watch it again. He was disappointed that Mu Chen and Song Ning's marriage had been cemented so firmly. Moreover, the two of them were clearly so in love that it would be impossible to separate them.

Jealousy welled up in his heart as he looked at Song Ning who was standing next to Mu Chen's side obediently. Why did the heavens give everything good to Mu Chen? It was so unfair. How could only one misstep bring these two people together?

Ye Cheng slammed his hands against the steering wheel in frustration, causing the horn to sound loudly just like how he was roaring in his heart.

Since he was young, he had always been compared to Mu Chen. Ever since they attended kindergarten, he had always been inferior to Mu Chen. His desire to defeat Mu Chen was like a poisonous seed that had taken root in his heart and was impossible to remove. It had become his inner demon.
