BXBX NOVEL Chapter 149 - 149: Stepmother
After returning from the Ye family, Yu Miao had been staying at the Yu family’s house and did not go out again. During this period of time, Yu Ruo had also pushed away part of his work and rested at home because of the public opinion spreading online.
However, even though the two of them were under the same roof, Yu Ruo did not treat Yu Miao as intimately as before. Instead, he would deliberately avoid Yu Miao when she wanted to be closer to him.
Yu Ruo’s actions made Yu Miao want to rush over and scold him, but in order to maintain her considerate persona, Yu Miao could only endure it.
Recalling that she had learned from her second brother yesterday that Yu Su had already established her own studio, Yu Miao decided to send a message to Ye Chang and ask him if he wanted to send a tweet to congratulate Yu Su.
After Yu Miao sent the message, she waited for a long time before receiving Ye Chang’s reply. [Don’t embarrass yourself.]
Seeing this message, Yu Miao could tell that Ye Chang was unhappy. She was unhappy that Ye Chang was unhappy because of Yu Su, so she immediately sent two more messages, but Ye Chang did not reply to either of the two messages.
In Ye Chang’s house.
Ye Chang saw the two messages that Yu Miao sent after that, but he did not reply. He just threw his phone away in frustration. Then, he picked up the unfinished wine on the ground and continued drinking.
He was frustrated and depressed now. He did not know what to do now to make Yu Su let go of what had happened previously and let the two of them reconcile.
At this moment, there was a knock on his door.
“Come in.” Ye Chang thought that the person knocking on the door would be the housekeeper, but he did not expect it to be his stepmother.
Lin Ya opened the door and saw the bottles scattered on the ground.
She could not help but frown. “Ye Chang, what are you doing?”
Ye Chang did not look at her. He shook the bottle in his hand and said, “It’s nothing. I’m just in a bad mood.”
Faced with Ye Chang’s perfunctory answer, Lin Ya frowned even more.
Usually, Ye Chang’s attitude towards her could be said to be respectful. Most of the time, he could even be said to be currying favor. What kind of attitude was this now?
“Are you doing this because of what happened online? Or because of that girl, Yu Su?” Lin Ya’s voice was filled with dissatisfaction.
Ye Chang did not answer her question. Instead, he looked up and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Lin Ya frowned. “Why didn’t you reply to Yu Miao’s message? Where’s the social etiquette 1 taught you since you were young?”
Ye Chang was already in a tipsy state and was still frustrated. Now that he heard Lin Ya’s words, he suddenly became agitated and slammed the wine bottle in his hand onto the ground.
This sudden action shocked Lin Ya, but her face only turned cold and she did not say anything to reprimand him.
Ye Chang looked at her with red eyes and questioned, “Did you set up a trap long ago to ruin my reputation?”
Ye Chang’s words made Lin Ya put away her last bit of indifference. “Ye Chang, although I’m your stepmother, I’ve been by your side since you were young. No matter what outsiders say, you should know best how I treat you. You shouldn’t casually say such things to trample on my sincerity towards you.”
Ye Chang looked at the woman in front of him who looked as good as ten years ago, her face completely not stained by age, and suddenly felt aggrieved.
“I know you’re good to me, but… but why did you do the couple jade pendant thing? I’ve already said that 1 don’t have any romantic feelings for Yu Miao. I only like Yu Su. Why did you still do this!” Ye Chang shouted out the words in his heart. This was also the first time he had lost his composure in front of someone.
This was the first time Lin Ya had been refuted by her stepson, who had always been very respectful. She was instantly furious. “Yu Miao is a person with great luck. It’s best for you to be with her.”
“But 1 don’t like her. I said that I only like Yu Su!” Ye Chang looked at Lin Ya stubbornly. “I’ve treated you as my biological mother since you were young. Must you force me to love someone I don’t love?”
“What kind of drug did Yu Su drug you with? Why must you only like her?!” Lin Ya looked at Ye Chang’s current appearance and felt a deep sense of disappointment. “Yu Miao is the one who can help you reach the altar. If you insist on being with Yu Su, your future will be dark!”
Seeing that Ye Chang was unmoved, Lin Ya simply told him what Yu Su had done to retaliate against the Yu family recently.. “Have you forgotten what Yu Su has done to you recently to deal with the Yu family and Yu Miao? She almost ruined your career!”
