CHAPTER 608: CHAPTER 597: THE DIVINE DOCTOR FATHER OF THE WEALTHY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW

"Chanchan, how could you think of me like that?" After Ye Chan spoke those words, Li Chengyu showed a heartbroken expression, "Is this really how you see me in your heart? Yes, your dad is very formidable, but am I the type of person who only cares about benefits? If I were really the kind of person you describe, why would I have married you when you had nothing?"

After shouting those words, Li Chengyu drove away heartbroken, leaving Ye Chan standing there with an indiscernible expression.

Yes, initially Li Chengyu didn’t mind her family background, and she was grateful for that, but is the situation the same as it was back then?

Back then, it was the height of their romantic love, who would consider so much? Moreover, was her marrying into the Li family truly like Cinderella entering a wealthy family? She asked herself if she had diligently worked at Li family, exerting herself daily to enhance the performance of the Pengcheng Group. Wasn’t what she did enough?

This relationship wasn’t first betrayed by her, so why is it made to seem like she was heartless and unfaithful?

Ye Chan sighed, "Let it be, whatever Li Chengyu thinks in his heart, their relationship is over now, there’s no possibility of reconciliation."

However, Ye Chan couldn’t imagine that Li Chengyu, after leaving that day, did not give up. He continued to wait for her downstairs every day with fresh flowers and breakfast.

The house she and Ye Qiu are now living in belongs to an old neighborhood from over thirty years ago, which isn’t managed as strictly as the new ones, so there really was no way to drive him out.

"Let’s move out, and come back to see dad when we have time," Ye Qiu observed the waiting figure downstairs and shook his head.

"I didn’t expect him to be so persistent." Ye Chan was neither sad nor happy, she actually knew that Li Chengyu coming back to pursue her carried a bit of sincere affection, but they were no longer in their student days, and certain things that happened ensured they couldn’t be wiped clean. Why couldn’t he let go?

"Both of the Li family’s children actually have good natures, it’s just that Li Pengcheng and Gao Juan are a bit more opportunistic, and these two kids listen to their parents, they’ll probably suffer because of their parents in the future," Ye Qiu saw it very clearly.

Li Chengyu is basically a good person, but he’s easily swayed and lacks a strong opinion on his own. Otherwise, relying on his love for Ye Chan, he wouldn’t have been coerced by his parents to go out and keep a mistress.

But he’s an adult now, he shouldn’t just do what others tell him to, he should learn to think for himself. Therefore, having made mistakes, he must accept the consequences, and not be so lacking in responsibility as he is now.

Look at what he said to Ye Chan before? Did his parents tell him to have an affair? Did his parents tell him to have children with someone else? If you don’t act yourself, can your parents do it for you?

So even if he has genuine feelings, Ye Qiu would never allow his daughter to get back together with him, especially not with that pair of extremely opportunistic parents behind him.

"Dad, I’ll move out tonight," Ye Chan said tiredly.

"Have you found a place?"

"I made a call to President Gu, asking him to recommend a house with good security developed by the head office. There should be some options by this afternoon, but I can’t move in immediately, so I’ll stay at Mingmei’s place temporarily."

"Doesn’t she live with her brother?" Ye Qiu frowned slightly.

"She has several apartments in her name, she said she’ll lend one to me."

"Hmm, that’s good. Let’s go, Dad will go with you."

"Chanchan." Li Chengyu’s eyes lit up when he saw Ye Chan, then saw Ye Qiu beside her, his eyes showing disbelief.

This... Is this his previous father-in-law? How come he looks even younger now? And his aura, it’s completely unlike the madness when he used to call Ye Chan for money after losing at gambling. How could a person change so much?

However, Li Chengyu quickly remembered what Ye Qiu was like before his gambling days, when he was a doctor at a small hospital. Although he was not as radiant as now, he had a refined appearance, or else he could not have fathered a daughter as beautiful as Ye Chan.

"Dad." Li Chengyu thick-skinnedly called Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu looked at him with a half-smiling face: "I am not your dad. You never called me that when you married my daughter, and you don’t need to call me that in the future either, since Chanchan and you are no longer related."

Ye Chan recalled the past events when Ye Qiu mentioned this. Li Chengyu used to love her, but he always had reservations about her dad, never willing to address him properly, always referring to him indirectly.

Especially after her dad got addicted to gambling, even when she answered her dad’s calls, he would show a disgusted face, even though he wasn’t asked to pay the gambling debts.

Thinking about all these, Ye Chan’s expression grew even worse.

Li Chengyu felt extremely awkward, also recalling those past incidents, and sincerely admitted his fault to Ye Qiu: "Dad, I was wrong before. Could you please forgive me magnanimously? As long as you help me reconcile with Chanchan, we will surely take good care of you in the future."

"Forget it." Ye Qiu said with a smile but declined, his eyes narrowed but void of warmth, "Even without you, Chanchan will take good care of me."

"Dad, let’s go. I have nothing more to say to him." Ye Chan pulled Ye Qiu away, and whenever Li Chengyu tried to catch up, Ye Qiu would look at him with a mocking gaze, making him very uncomfortable.

Li Chengyu stood there awkwardly. Could he be blamed for the past? His family background was never on par with Ye Chan’s; the fact that she married him was already her marrying above her station. Why should he respect Ye Qiu, his gambler father-in-law?

Who knew he had such a skill! It’s clear he is his father-in-law, yet he never mentioned that he was studying herbal medicine; if he had known, he would have respected him long ago! He was supposed to marry Ye Chan, not her family. Why should he endure Ye Chan’s dad?

Li Chengyu didn’t think he was wrong, instead he felt Ye Qiu was problematic.

What kind of father urges separation and not reunion? He might have neglected Ye Chan’s dad in the past, but did Ye Chan’s dad value him?

Li Chengyu unwillingly left, but he wasn’t about to give up.

Gu Pharmaceutical, Gu Mingting was inspecting this branch again, and brought some real estate information for Ye Chan.

"I asked Secretary Li to find three places. The first is an apartment in the city center, fully furnished, ready to move in, but it’s a bit far from the office and not very suitable for the elderly. The second is a residential complex, good privacy, nice environment, but it’s not furnished, and there might be traffic jam to the office. The last one is a villa in Beiyuan, also nicely furnished, was previously used as a show house, very private, but like the first apartment, it is quite far from the office, however, you can avoid the city center by driving, no congestion. Personally, I think you might choose the villa," Gu Mingting analyzed for Ye Chan very methodically.
