Chapter 87 Love is not a compromise for one person.
"Sorry, that's just how we do things!"
On the 13th floor of Anning Huating, Ye Chong's voice rang out in the living room.
The room was pitch black, with only a faint light emanating from the coffee table in front of the sofa, from the response video that Ye Chong had just uploaded.
"That Ye Chong! He's gone too far!"
On the sofa, Yifei was wearing a bright yellow nightgown, with two special horns flying up on her head.
She squatted on the sofa with her knees drawn up to her chest. When she saw Ye Chong bullying someone again, she couldn't help but pout her little mouth, as if she wanted to use "100,000 Volts"?
"Kaichi"
The living room lights were turned on, and Liu's mother came in carrying a plate of washed fruit.
"Sissi, why would you say that?"
After half a year apart, Liu's mother looked tired and weathered.
Being an agent, especially a professional agent, is very difficult; she had to learn everything from scratch.
You can call this woman, who has dedicated her life to her daughter, selfish, or hateful, but you can never say she doesn't love her daughter.
"Mom, he's making a scene online again, even though the online storm has only just subsided."
Yifei picked up a grape with two fingers, ate it elegantly while frowning.
"My dear daughter, I don't believe you can't tell who he's doing this for."
"I—" Yifei paused in her chewing, pursed her lips, and her signature dimples appeared on her cheeks.
Does she think she can't tell?!
In June, Huayi Brothers wanted to sign him, but they were suddenly attacked by unsolicited online trolls, and the deal fell through.
In early August, Tangren brought up the signing of the contract again, but last week Ye Chong dragged them into a mess, and the two sides are still tug-of-war.
And also — Song Zude.
Thanks to Ye Chong's early intervention, the X-human transformation incident did not occur in this lifetime.
Yi Fei didn't remember any past grievances with Song Zude, nor did she know what Song Zude would do to her. But perhaps it was her sixth sense, Yi Fei was 100% certain that Ye Chong's actions against Song Zude were for her sake.
Ye Chong—even when arguing with himself, he can protect himself from the shadows like Batman.
"So what are you thinking? You still won't forgive him?"
Yifei paused, then leaned over and spat the grape skins into the trash can. The horns on her head swayed with her movements. When she looked up, her expression became much more serious.
"Mom, didn't you object to my relationship with him?"
The child's cute, baby voice was full of complaints and grievances, while her almond-shaped eyes were fixed on her mother.
"I—" Liu's mother awkwardly looked away.
Of all the years she's spent with Ye Chong, she's the most indecisive person.
From initial wariness, to distancing herself from Chen Jinfei, to briefly accepting Ye Chong and joining him in resisting Chen Jinfei.
Finally—the couple forced themselves to control their daughter because of a cold war.
So, I've been the bad guy all along?
Thinking of this, Liu's mother raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes with apology: "Qianqian, I'm sorry. It was my fault. I shouldn't have forced you to be so strict."
"Um----"
Upon seeing her mother, she immediately apologized, which put Yifei in an awkward position.
She shook her head, her voice gradually softening.
"It's okay, Mom, it's all over now."
"Come on!" She squatted down with her feet and forcibly pulled Liu's mother onto the sofa. Then, she tilted her buttocks, lay down on her side, and rested her head on Liu's mother's shoulder.
"Mother."
"Sisi doesn't blame you. Sisi knows you meant well."
Hearing how sensible her daughter was, Liu's mother felt even more guilty.
Ye Chong's character is his character, and his heart is his heart.
She had always considered things from a practical perspective, but she had never faced the truth about Ye Chong's feelings for his daughter, nor had she considered that he was just over twenty years old.
"Mom, how about we have a heart-to-heart talk?"
"it is good."
Hearing her mother say this, Yifei quickly got up, picked up the fruit on the coffee table, and lay back down.
"Um----"
"Could you first tell me your thoughts and evaluation of Ye Chong?"
"Um?"
Liu's mother paused, lowered her head and pondered for a while before speaking: "Impulsive, speaks without thinking, and sometimes even foolish."
"madness?"
Yifei looked up at her mother's eyes, but all she saw was her mother's double chin.
She lowered her head again, Ye Chong's image beginning to appear in her mind: "Your comments are truly insightful!"
Liu's mother lowered her head suspiciously: "Aren't you angry?"
"angry?"
Yifei rolled her eyes in annoyance, picked up a cherry from the fruit plate on her stomach, and fed it to her mother.
"Hmm~ Hmm~ Why are you stuffing it in so fast? It's almost hitting my throat!"
As Liu's mother chewed the cherries with difficulty, her daughter's words warmed her heart.
"How could I be angry? You are my dearest mother! Besides, in my eyes, bad—Ye Chong is also stupid."
"Really?"
"Hmm!"
Yifei placed the fruit plate on her tummy and started counting on her fingers.
"Look at this: the first time we argued, he didn't even use his brain and told me to stay away from my godfather and keep my distance!"
Liu's mother frowned; this was the first time she had learned about these things.
"Isn't this just slandering someone out of thin air!"
"That's right!" Yifei nodded seriously.
Perhaps thinking of the scene from that night, she pouted, and the cherries in her hand no longer tasted good.
She popped a cherry into her mouth, then raised her hand and broke off her second finger: "Mmm, the second time, umm~ the second time was at his house."
"His house!"
Liu's mother turned over and got up, causing Yifei to stumble and hit her head on the sofa.
"Yo!"
"Ah!" Liu's mother helped her up and apologized repeatedly, "I'm so sorry, baby."
"It's okay!" Yifei turned her head and found a soft, protruding spot to rest her head on.
"Let me continue! The second time was at his house. I made him stir-fried wood ear mushrooms with pork, and it was quite delicious!"
"Hmm————" Liu's mother's eyes were complicated. She never thought that her daughter and Ye Chong had this kind of relationship.
"And then?"
"And then?" Yifei smacked her lips twice.
"Later, when I stir-fried the wood ear mushrooms and they released water, he was quite surprised! He's someone who never lifts a finger to do housework."
"He only knows how to stir-fry shredded potatoes, so he asked me if I wanted them in chunks or shreds?"
"Um.
""
"I said stir-fried shredded vegetables, I can do it!"
"Ah!" Liu's mother sat up again.
"Um----"
"Yo!"
"Mommy!" Yifei sat up, supporting her little head.
Liu's mother stared at her eyes, looking them up and down, but she couldn't see the expression she had imagined.
Thinking of her daughter's innocent nature, she breathed a long sigh of relief.
"What's wrong?"
"It's alright!" Liu's mother hugged her little head and lay down again.
Yifei blinked her big eyes incessantly, her fluttering eyelashes almost creating a fragrant breeze.
Is something wrong?
I can have stir-fried shredded Ye Chong, right?
Before she could think it through, Liu's mother's voice rang out.
"Was the fourth one the one where people were beaten in Jiuzhaigou?"
Yifei glanced at her fingers, then shook her head dismissively: "Yeah."
"Um----"
A long silence fell over the living room once again.
A few minutes later.
"Is there anything else?"
"What? Is there anything else?"
Yifei looked up and looked at her mother again; this time, their eyes met.
"Any further reviews?"
'
""
Liu's mother turned her gaze away from her daughter's expectant face and looked at the paused image on the coffee table.
"He's good-looking, and he's becoming more and more manly."
"Eh~" Yifei laughed and nudged Liu's mother's lower abdomen with her shoulder: "You're not being honest! You say you dislike him, but you say he's handsome?"
"Hey! You unlucky girl!" Liu's mother rarely blushed because of her daughter, so she raised her hand to pinch her daughter's soft flesh.
"Hehehe—Wrong, wrong, hehehe—"
The two bickered for a while until both mother and daughter lay on the sofa, their faces flushed, before they finally stopped.
"I, well, what I mean is, Ye Chong, at least in terms of appearance, is barely a match for you. But he's still a tiny bit short of my ideal son-in-law standard~" Mother Liu said, her fingertips forming a small universe.
Yifei's chest heaved violently, a gentle smile playing on her lips.
My mom is rarely naughty, so I won't argue with her claim that "Ye Chong is the most handsome man in the world."
"Anything else?"
Liu's mother rolled her eyes at her daughter.
This girl, I apologized, but why do you insist on making me find Ye Chong's good points?
and many more!
Liu's mother suddenly realized!
So that's how it is!
Tonight, her daughter seemed to be having a heart-to-heart talk with her, but every word she said was about Ye Chong.
She spoke entirely about her experiences with Ye Chong, from her perspective: the image of Ye Chong as a person.
It's been over two years now, and my daughter has long since shed her naivety and innocence.
She may be naive and kind at times, but that doesn't mean she's stupid.
On the contrary, because of her simple and kind nature, she has a knack for judging people, the kind that goes straight to the soul.
so----
She was telling herself from her own perspective: Mom, the person I chose for myself is actually very outstanding.
Is it excellent?
Putting aside his reputation and personality, Ye Chong is both good-looking and capable.
His ruthlessness in protecting his wife, even at the cost of dragging Huayi and Tangren down with him, is actually quite admirable.
that is----
Forget it! Every mother-in-law initially dislikes her son-in-law.
"Mom's done talking, it's your turn to speak."
"?"
Yifei sat up, and Liu's mother glared at her before picking up a cherry and stuffing it into her daughter's mouth.
"Go ahead and tell me! Promote the person you've chosen."
Upon hearing this, Yifei trembled, and her chewing motions paused.
"I—um, I think his most admirable quality is his honesty!"
"Honest?"
Liu Xiaoli frowned, her brows furrowing almost into a deep frown.
Ye Chong is notorious, yet the word "frank" can be used to describe him?
Seeing her confusion, Yifei reached out and shook her arm.
"Mom, don't you think Ye Chong feels a sense of 'I'd rather betray the whole world than betray you' towards me?"
Before Liu's mother could even process what she had just said, her daughter eagerly added, "Despite being a 'mischievous' director that everyone else seems to hate, he's the most serious person in front of me!"
Liu's mother was taken aback, then raised a finger and poked her daughter's forehead, shoving her: "That's because he hasn't gotten you yet. All men are the same. Once he gets you—"
"That's not what I mean!" Yifei exclaimed, shaking her head and twisting her mother's fingers away. "It's honesty! It's being genuine! It's being able to see right through his soul and his true feelings!"
At this point, Yifei scratched her face again: "I just occasionally like riddle-solving people, they're so annoying."
Looking at her daughter's deeply infatuated expression, Liu Xiaoli shook her head helplessly.
"Sissi."
"Um?
'
Liu's mother opened her little hand, picked up a cherry and placed it in her palm: "Qianqian, now, you are in charge of your life."
Yifei's pupils dilated in surprise: "Mom, what do you mean?"
Liu's mother smiled and said, "Mom won't take care of you anymore."
"real?"
"real!"
Finally, Liu's mother remembered something and reminded her, "Qianqian, remember, love isn't about one person compromising, it's about two people accommodating each other. We don't need to force each other to become the person we expect. Accepting each other's imperfections is the only way to make love last!"
Yifei puffed out her cheeks and nodded.
"I know, Mom."
"What are your plans next?"
Yifei spread out her little hands, looking at the cherries in her hand and muttering to herself.
"I want----"
