Defrosting The Cold Young Master

Chapter 700: Chapter 704 I Can’t Bear It

By splitting clans, it means that he, Ye Bingjun, along with all his descendants, will no longer have any connection with Ye Mingquan’s lineage!

The Ye Group belongs to Ye Mingquan. His lineage, due to their relationship with Ye Mingquan, although they may not have meat to eat, can always sip some of the broth.

Moreover, being members of the Ye Family in country Y, his descendants find it easier to arrange marriages than ordinary people.

Ye Mingquan would be gracious enough to provide a house and a car for his sons and grandsons when they get married. His generosity wouldn’t waver.

But if they were to split the clan, they would clearly become different families.

Would Ye Mingquan then still care for his descendants?

Ye Mingquan frowned and said, “I only have this one cousin. In our generation, there are just the two of us old brothers. And in Tongtong’s generation, I only have one daughter. If the family has any problems, it depends entirely on your cousins from your uncle’s family. Ah Lan and Xiao Li have only two brothers, which isn’t many. If we split the clan, there will only be a few of us left in the family. What’s the point? Isn’t it better to live together with your uncle whose family is thriving with many offspring?”

“Dad, last time when Ye Tao bullied Beibei, you interceded, and Ah Lan endured it. But this time I can’t stand it,” Ye Wuwei’s eyes dropped, his voice was very soft but firm, “They don’t take my niece seriously, they don’t take me seriously either. In the end, they think I’m just here because of a marriage, they think I’m a sponge, just a pretty face living off of their handouts. They think they are the real Ye Family members.”

He looked up at Ye Mingquan and said quietly, “Dad, I agreed to marry into the family because I love Tongtong, not because I have no dignity. They openly slapped me in the face today, I can’t take it.”

Although Ye Wuwei’s words were calm, each sentence felt like a knife stabbing into Ye Zhitong’s heart.

In country Y, it is shameful for a man to marry into his wife’s family.

Men who marry into the wife’s family are always despised and talked about behind their backs.

Ye Zhitong was willing to marry Ye Wuwei not because he was willing to marry into her family, but because she deeply loved Ye Wuwei.

But initially, her father insisted that Ye Wuwei had to agree to marry into their family before he could marry her.

At that time, Ye Wuwei had lost his memory due to a serious injury, he couldn’t remember who he was. The two of them fell in love, so he didn’t dwell on the matter of marrying into her family and agreed to her father’s conditions.

She knew that these years, because of marrying into her family, Ye Wuwei had endured countless jokes and ridicule.

Ye Wuwei didn’t care before, and he also persuaded her not to care.

But at this moment, seeing Ye Wuwei calmly discussing others accusing him of being a freeloader and pretty boy, Ye Zhitong’s heart was tormented—tears poured down her face.

She pleaded with Ye Mingquan, “Dad, just agree to it. Brother Wei is right. You and your cousin are just that—cousins. Even if they were real brothers, once they had a house full of kids and grandkids, they should have split the clan long ago. Much less being just cousins.”

Seeing his daughter crying inconsolably, Ye Mingquan hesitated.

He only has one daughter in this world whom he treasures as much as his life.

He does value his only cousin, Ye Bingjun, but no matter how high this value is, it can’t surpass his only daughter.

Seeing Ye Mingquan wavering, Ye Bingjun became anxious, “Ah Wei, isn’t it just because the kids were thoughtless and took breakfast? Do we need to go to such severe extents as splitting the clan over a meal? Isn’t this making a laughingstock of ourselves if this gets out?”

Ye Wuwei glanced at him coldly, suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Ye Xingbei’s wrist, and glanced at Ye Bingjun, Ye Weizhi, Ye Liu, and Ye Ying one by one, “I’m telling you, my desire to split clans with you is not because of the meal, but because you look down on my niece!”
