CHAPTER 412: CHAPTER 329: MUST LEAVE

Ye Duowei turned back and glanced at the varying expressions on their faces, and smiled faintly: "Grandma! Mom! I know what you’re thinking, what you’re worried about! Rest assured! You don’t need to pay for my trip abroad! I’m not going there for fun; I’m going there to live and work! Don’t worry! I’ll take good care of myself!"

"You have money to go abroad? Where did this money come from?" Tian Yaru exploded immediately!

Where did Ye Duowei get the money? This child spends recklessly and has no sense of financial restraint!

Claiming that she saved the money herself? Yaru wouldn’t believe it!

Could it have been given by someone else?

Mrs. Tian Sr. also entertained this thought, especially with Weiwei’s unusual behavior lately. Normally someone who’d be out and about every day, she suddenly never stepped outside. How could this not make people suspicious?

Ye Duowei felt as though her life was truly a failure, and said, "It was given to me by Yin Xian!"

That night, perhaps feeling guilty, Yin Xian actually gave her a check for one million!

These past few days, she hadn’t gone out because she was truly reflecting on herself, questioning what she was even doing.

How had things come to this?

Tian Yaru’s face lit up with joy: "Yin Xian? When did you meet with him?"

This news thrilled her—could it mean the two had reconciled?

Mrs. Tian Sr. also beamed with joy and eagerly asked, "You two are back together?"

Ye Duowei replied helplessly, "It’s not as good as you’re imagining! He only felt that he had been too harsh with me when we divorced and was giving me proper compensation!"

She didn’t mention anything about Yin Xian’s remarriage plans that she had disrupted!

Tian Yaru’s eyes sparkled—this was like someone offering her a pillow when she was desperate for sleep. "Weiwei, how much did Yin Xian give you, huh?"

Mrs. Tian Sr. didn’t look pleased. She could tell from Yaru’s face that she was scheming to get her hands on the money.

Ye Duowei looked at her defensively: "Why are you asking that? Mom, I know you and Dad lost money in stocks! But I can’t give you this money! Don’t worry, though—when I go abroad, I’ll work hard and earn money. In the future, I promise to give you a lot of money!"

She really couldn’t bear to stay in the country for even a moment longer. Whenever she closed her eyes, the memories would come rushing back.

They were humiliating! She couldn’t forget them and could only choose distance!

Tian Yaru scoffed sarcastically, curling her lips: "Weiwei! You’re truly heartless! Knowing how difficult things are for your dad and me right now, yet holding onto money without offering any help. Makes me think we truly raised you for nothing all these years!

You say you’ll go work and earn money—tell me, have you worked even once since graduation? It’d be better to hand this money to your dad so he could invest it for you, and you could continue being a carefree little princess. Wouldn’t that be wonderful!"

Ye Duowei’s eyes reddened—she never imagined her mother, who had always doted on her, now thought so little of her. Was all that love before just a farce?

Mrs. Tian Sr., unable to bear it anymore, reprimanded: "Yaru! What you’re saying to the child isn’t right. How long can you support her? Ten years? Twenty years? What about after that? You can’t just rely on me and your dad—we obviously won’t live that long! What will the child do then to support herself?

Now, she clearly has an idea, so let her go ahead and try! With some money in her pocket, at least she’ll have confidence and live more comfortably out there!

Stop being so shortsighted. You’re actually thinking about scheming for the child’s money now—aren’t you ashamed?"

She was truly infuriated by her eldest daughter. Ever since Ye Cheng’s business failed, it had been nothing but sobbing at home or pestering Yaruo for money.

It had even caused Yaruo’s divorce, and now she was calculating against the older generation.

Recently, she had pushed for their villa to be mortgaged for a bank loan! There was no way Mrs. Tian Sr. and her husband would agree to that!

It was absolutely out of the question!

She almost wanted to confront her eldest daughter and question whether she’d gone mad. Ye Cheng was a bottomless pit—how much money could he possibly lose?

And why wasn’t the Ye Family contributing anything? Why always scheming against the Tian Family?

This was their granddaughter from the Ye Family after all—her loyalties were painfully inclined toward outsiders!

Tian Yaru looked embarrassed—she was really just speaking offhandedly and wasn’t necessarily fixated on Weiwei’s money.

On the one hand, since Weiwei said the money was from Yin Xian, Yaru thought maybe there was still room for reconciliation between the two. If communication continued, perhaps they could remarry someday—it wasn’t impossible. But if she were to leave the country, being so far away, how could a reunion ever happen?

On the other hand, she genuinely didn’t want her child to go abroad. It might have been fine for studying, but working there wouldn’t be so easy.

Especially since Weiwei was her daughter—Yaru knew her well. Weiwei wasn’t the type to handle hardship or struggle. It’d be better if she just stayed in the country. If things didn’t work out with Yin Xian, they could simply find a few suitable men from good backgrounds and have her marry someone decent. She’d still live a comfortable life as a wealthy wife—it wasn’t a bad idea!

"Mom! Look what you’re saying! Am I such a person? I’m only thinking about Weiwei’s well-being! Since Yin Xian was willing to give Weiwei money, doesn’t that mean she’s still on his mind? When they divorced, he didn’t give a single penny! He was so heartless back then! If she suddenly goes abroad now, what chance remains for them in the future?

Besides, asking the kid how much money she has—what’s wrong with that? We’ve been living in your home every day, eating and drinking plenty. As your granddaughter, isn’t it proper for her to contribute a bit to show gratitude?"

Ye Duowei stood silently, sneering coldly. Her mom truly lived in a world of fantasy! Even if Yin Xian gave her the money, it was out of pity for all the years they’d shared and to give her peace of mind—nothing more.

As for the latter half of what her mother said, Ye Duowei found it even more ridiculous. Saying it like poetry!

Mrs. Tian Sr. thought Yaru’s argument was somewhat sensible, and her tone softened: "We don’t need Weiwei to show gratitude—her parents don’t even do it, so how can we expect the granddaughter to? Weiwei, don’t mind what your mom says. Do what you want to do! Grandma supports you! But tell me honestly—what’s truly going on between you and Yin Xian?"

Ye Duowei was silent for a moment. She lifted her head and replied seriously, "Thank you! Grandma! Thank you for supporting me!

Mom, with you and Grandma both here today, I’ll say this once—there’s no future for Yin Xian and me. This matter of going abroad—none of you need to stop me. I’m going no matter what!"

Tian Yaru’s eyes darted around. She thought that if she pushed harder, the child might become defiant, so she quickly put on a smile: "Weiwei! If you really want to go, Mom won’t stop you anymore!

But with New Year’s almost here, after the holidays comes the Lunar New Year. You’ll be all alone abroad and we can’t help but worry! If you really want to go, how about waiting until after the holidays to leave, okay?"

Ye Duowei was silent for a moment and then nodded, "Alright, then!" After all, she needed time to prepare before leaving—departing after the New Year seemed reasonable.

Tian Yaru’s sudden change of heart surprised Mrs. Tian Sr. She thought to herself—this shift was too abrupt!

"Mom! Let’s step out for now and leave Weiwei to herself for a while!" Yaru then shot her mother a look and tugged her out of the room.

Ye Duowei turned back and gazed at the sunlight streaming through the window, falling deep into thought... (To be continued.
