Chapter 526: Chapter 525 Leaving Overnight (2/3)
"My father?" Yang Chen was stunned, staring at the old officer in confusion: "You... know my father?"
Yang Chen didn’t directly mention that he was an orphan; he thought it impossible for the old officer not to know these things.
The old officer said with a smile, "I think your father would be very proud to have such an outstanding son like you."
Yang Chen carefully observed the old officer but could not see any flaw, as if he were merely praising Yang Chen.
Yang Chen frowned and said, "Old officer, I’m an orphan; even I don’t know who my parents are."
"Oh!" The old officer said regretfully, "Is that so? What a pity."
Yang Chen found the old officer’s words very suspicious but knew he couldn’t get anything from him, so he didn’t inquire further and left with Zhou Qinghe.
Along the way, Yang Chen looked out the window, his mind racing, but it was always interrupted by that sentence from the old officer: "I think your father would be very proud to have such an outstanding son like you!"
This sentence echoed in Yang Chen’s mind, eventually making him unable to think at all.
If I had a father, would he be proud of me?
Yang Chen gazed at the flashing lights outside the car window, asking himself questions he didn’t know and couldn’t answer...
...
The Ye family.
In Ye Xin’s boudoir.
"Xueqing!" Chen Siyan looked at Wei Xueqing, who kept packing things, and said anxiously, "What’s wrong with you? Speak up! Don’t ignore me! What’s really going on? What are you planning to do?"
Chen Siyan was frantically worried.
Wei Xueqing had a grim face, expressionless, silently packing her things, not saying a word.
Even if Chen Siyan was naive, she could tell there was definitely something wrong with Wei Xueqing.
"Hey! Xueqing!" Chen Siyan was anxious, grabbed Wei Xueqing’s arm, and asked, "What’s actually wrong with you? You’re not talking, just packing your things. Where are you planning to go?"
"Back to Ningchuan!" Wei Xueqing said coldly: "As for why... go ask your brother!"
After speaking, Wei Xueqing shook off Chen Siyan’s hand and continued packing.
Chen Siyan immediately understood what was going on and said to Wei Xueqing, "Did my brother bully you?"
She then remembered that Wei Xueqing had been unhappy since she met with Yang Chen; it must be related to Yang Chen!
Wei Xueqing paused but didn’t answer.
Chen Siyan had already confirmed and immediately said, "I’ll go find my brother!"
Saying this, Chen Siyan turned and walked out.
Seeing this, Wei Xueqing became somewhat anxious and quickly said, "Come back!"
"No!" Chen Siyan’s stubbornness flared up. She said angrily, "I’ll go ask my brother what’s wrong with him, why did he shout at us right after coming out after we’ve been waiting here for him for so long. Why?"
"Come back first!" Wei Xueqing shouted.
But Chen Siyan had already run out.
Wei Xueqing saw this, thought for a moment, stomped her foot, and hurried out to chase her.
Chen Siyan ran all the way towards the doorway.
Just as Yang Chen was saying goodbye to Zhou Qinghe and entering the courtyard.
Chen Siyan immediately saw Yang Chen, ran up, and shouted, "Brother!"
Yang Chen was stunned, looking at Chen Siyan in astonishment, hearing the tone, it sounded like something bad!
"What’s going on?" Yang Chen couldn’t help but laugh while looking at Chen Siyan.
Chen Siyan stepped forward and pushed Yang Chen, looking very angry, leaving Yang Chen bewildered.
"What’s going on?" Yang Chen asked again.
Chen Siyan pushed Yang Chen and said, "You keep asking! You keep asking! Don’t you know what you’ve done?"
Yang Chen was completely confused.
Sword Edge, who was nearby, saw this and coughed, quietly stepping back two steps, indicating he had nothing to do with this.
"What exactly is going on?" Yang Chen said annoyed, "I really don’t know!"
At this moment, Wei Xueqing followed them, and upon seeing this scene, quickly shouted, "Yanyan, stop it!"
Seeing Wei Xueqing follow, Chen Siyan pulled Yang Chen towards Wei Xueqing.
Pulling Yang Chen in front of Wei Xueqing, Chen Siyan said, "Tell him, what did he do to my Xueqing?"
Xueqing hurried and tugged on Chen Siyan, whispering, "Yanyan! What are you doing?"
Chen Siyan waved her hand and said, "Xueqing, you don’t need to be afraid of him. I’ll stand up for you!"
"Oh dear!" Wei Xueqing was terribly embarrassed, saying softly, "Don’t make trouble!"
"I’m not causing trouble!" Chen Siyan seriously stared at Yang Chen and said, "Brother, if you don’t make this clear today, don’t blame me for being rude!"
Yang Chen looked at Chen Siyan’s angry expression and couldn’t help but smile wryly, "What exactly did I do to make you so angry? I’ll change; is that okay?"
Yang Chen doted on this younger sister very much.
"It’s not you making me angry; it’s you making my Xueqing angry! How can you be like this? We’ve been waiting here for you so long, working hard and taking care of you, how did it become our fault? Why did you shout at us as soon as you came out? Did we do something to upset you? Brother! No one will be good to you for no reason. If you act like this, you’ll eventually drive everyone around you away!" Chen Siyan said.
Upon hearing this, Yang Chen frowned.
Indeed, the two had given a lot during this time, almost every day taking care of him, waiting for him to come out.
Yang Chen spoke in a deep voice, "I’m sorry, I’ve ignored your feelings."
Hearing this, Chen Siyan couldn’t help but be stunned; she didn’t expect Yang Chen to apologize so directly.
After recovering, Chen Siyan turned to look at Wei Xueqing and asked, "Xueqing... you see, my brother has apologized..."
"I don’t accept!" Wei Xueqing said coldly, "Moreover, he did nothing wrong, there’s no need to apologize!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Siyan frowned, glanced at Yang Chen, and scolded, "See, how could you make Xueqing so angry!"
Yang Chen looked at Wei Xueqing, thought about it, and felt that perhaps his words in the morning had upset Wei Xueqing, so he said in a low voice, "Xueqing, if you’re angry with me, I apologize. Perhaps I didn’t consider your feelings when I spoke, so..."
"You don’t need to apologize to me!" Wei Xueqing said coldly: "It’s unnecessary. I know you’re good to me. My waiting for you here is just wishful thinking, and I haven’t been able to help much. At the hospital, the doctors were arranged by the Ye family, the medical bills weren’t paid by us, and there was a nurse dedicated to looking after you; you didn’t need us. I should’ve left earlier and stopped being a burden here. It’s all me being wishful thinking, thinking that since Ye Xin wasn’t here, I should stay with you and comfort you. Now it seems, it really is just wishful thinking. You don’t need any of this; you’ll probably be better off on your own!"
Yang Chen furrowed his brows tightly.
"It’s done!" Wei Xueqing wiped the tears from the corner of her eye and said to Yang Chen: "I’ve packed my things, and I’ll leave tonight!"
After speaking, Wei Xueqing turned and walked towards the inner courtyard.
Yang Chen watched Wei Xueqing’s back in silence.
