Without his parents’ support, Yang Heng wouldn’t be able to face the Yao family so directly.
He knew clearly that things had already reached a breaking point. If he didn’t cut his ties with Yao Jing and wait for her to pester him again, he wouldn’t be able to get rid of her anymore. Thus, it was better to say everything on his mind directly.
The boy’s voice was sharp and clean. Unconsciously, he was slapping the faces of Yao Jing’s parents. “In your and Uncle Yao’s eyes, your daughter is your baby. You must dote on her dearly. As for other people’s children, they were born to be stepped on. If they were scolded by Yao Jing, they mustn’t be angry. Instead, they should thank Yao Jing.”
“Uncle Yao and you think that the other person should jump into Yao Jing’s trap to make her happy. If they didn’t, they are not doing the right thing. They shouldn’t make Yao Jing unhappy!”
Yang Heng’s continuous speech caused Mother Yao to stagger. Her vision turned black and she couldn’t stand up properly. Yao Jing, who kept crying, had to hold on to her mother. Mother Yao grabbed her daughter’s arm and forced a smile on her face. She said, “Hengheng, Jingjing did those things because…”
Yang Heng used a gentle attitude to forcefully stop Mother Yao from continuing her sentence. He smiled politely and replied, “Do you want to say that she did those things because she likes me? Just because she likes me, she can ask Uncle and Auntie to help her chase that young lady out of school?”
“Just because she likes me, she can attack Ye Jian without restraint? Just because she likes me, she can secretly warn all the ladies that interacted with me? Just because she likes me, she wanted to catch a venomous snake and let it bite Ye Jian because Ye Jian is close to me. Just because she likes me, she asked gangsters to beat Ye Jian up.”
“Auntie, please don’t let her like me. I can’t handle such a frightening form of like! I don’t have the right to scold your daughter but I can tell you that if she continues using her like for me to form enemies for me and continues harming my friends, I won’t care how close the relationship between our families are. I will not show any mercy to her anymore!”
Yang Heng was smiling but the contempt in his smile caused Deputy Commissioner Yao and his wife to flush. They wished that they could disappear immediately.
Mother Yao was a woman. As a Head of Office, she had authority. Usually, people treated her with respect. No one would refute her or go against her will. Yet, now, she was being mocked by a child who grew up before her eyes. He mocked her until she had no dignity left. Her face had turned red.
Her face was stinging in pain and her heart was hurting too. She was humiliated until she had nothing left!
Nothing!
“Hengheng, you didn’t give me any path of retreat at all. Yes, you’re right. Auntie was the one who spoilt Jingjing. It’s Auntie’s fault. I’m the person in the wrong. I was the one who made a mistake!” Mother Yao had tears shimmering in her eyes as she raised her hand and caressed her precious daughter’s head to console her. She saw her daughter’s face. She was so frightened it had turned pale. Mother Yao felt as if a portion of her heart was dug out. It was so painful that tears fell down her face. “It’s all Auntie’s fault. Jingjing is still young and immature. It has nothing to do with her.”
“I was the one who caused her to become like this. She’s an obedient child. She will listen to what her parents say. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have taught her like this. You’re right. This isn’t good for her. I harmed her. I harmed her.”
To protect Yao Jing’s reputation, Mother Yao pushed all the blame onto herself. She just didn’t want the future son-in-law she liked to hate her daughter.
