Chapter 1240 - 1240 1240 Family Battle

Chapter 1240: Chapter 1240: Family Battle Chapter 1240: Chapter 1240: Family Battle The next morning, Yang Qingyin and Yang Qingye were all summoned back home by Yang Yunlin.

What greeted them was naturally a thorough scolding from Yang Yunlin.

Yang Qingye appeared very wronged. The incident had nothing to do with him; it was Yang Qingyin and Luo Ziling who had escalated the situation. Why should he be scolded?

Faced with Yang Yunlin’s roaring, Yang Qingyin adopted a cold approach.

She didn’t utter a single word, just quietly sat on the sofa with an indifferent demeanor.

Chen Qiaoyu tried to persuade on the side, asking Yang Yunlin not to be angry.

She said that their daughter had grown up and had a rebellious mentality; forcing her to do things would only backfire.

Unexpectedly, Yang Yunlin immediately turned his anger towards Chen Qiaoyu, criticizing her for spoiling the children too much, claiming “too much love from a mother ruins children.”

Chen Qiaoyu got angry too. She retorted against Yang Yunlin, questioning which aspect of her son and daughter was not excellent.

Whether it was their looks or their scholarship, both were top-notch.

If this was considered spoiling, then what child wasn’t spoiled?

Yang Yunlin didn’t expect Chen Qiaoyu to talk back to him, especially in front of their son and daughter, which made him even more furiously agitated.

He coldly said, “You still haven’t forgotten your prince charming from those years, have you? Your daughter is mingling with his son, you see an opportunity again, don’t you?”

“Yang Yunlin, I can’t believe you would say such a thing,” Chen Qiaoyu was also quite agitated, “Have you ever wondered why your son and daughter like to hang out with others? Have you ever thought about why your beloved chose someone else back then? I know very well that over the years, you haven’t stopped courting Ling Ruonan, but has she ever cared about you? She would rather wait for that man for twenty years than settle for less. Have you ever thought about where you went wrong?”

Chen Qiaoyu grew more excited as she spoke, ignoring the astonished faces of Yang Qingye and Yang Qingyin; she loudly exclaimed, “You are just too petty and like to force others, thinking you are so formidable? You don’t realize that to be liked, you have to show genuine excellence, not force people to think you are excellent. Now, your daughter likes someone else, but it’s not as if he must marry your daughter. Look at the women around him, which one is inferior? By so adamantly preventing your daughter from being with the person she likes, aren’t you afraid she will regret it for life? If the man she likes is taken by someone else, do you think she’ll be happy?”

Chen Qiaoyu’s voice grew louder, “Luo Ziling has pride, facing your pressure and still daringly stands up to you; could you do that? If he can win the favor of so many beautiful women, don’t you think he’s outstanding enough to match your daughter? Moreover, he’s now lowering his stance to treat your father; even the old man has this intention, yet you alone oppose. You do this not for anything else but your own pride. For your pride, you disregard your father’s illness, for your pride, you disregard your daughter’s happiness. You fail as a son, as a father.”

Chen Qiaoyu spoke and tears unwillingly rolled down her eyes. Finally, she couldn’t hold back, covered her face and sobbed, running into her room and locking the door, hiding inside to cry.

In front of his son and daughter, Yang Yunlin was scolded by his wife for a long time, and he couldn’t even respond, which made him utterly furious. Seeing Yang Qingye and Yang Qingyin standing aside with strange expressions only intensified his anger.

“Get out, all of you get out,” his rage could only be directed towards his children, “Leave this home and never come back.”

With that, he angrily walked into his study and with a bang, locked the door.

Yang Qingyin and Yang Qingye looked at each other in dismay, unable to believe that a major family conflict had erupted so suddenly.

Yang Qingyin had heard rumors here and there about her mother and Luo Ziling’s father, Luo Xusheng, but Yang Qingye had hardly heard anything about it. It was only today, after hearing Yang Yunlin shout those words and listening to their mother’s response, that he suddenly understood.

He quietly asked Yang Qingyin, “Sis, why is this so terrifying?”

“Don’t talk nonsense,” Yang Qingyin whispered, gesturing toward the two closed doors.

“Sis, let’s go to your room,” Yang Qingye tugged at Yang Qingyin’s clothes and whispered softly, “Standing here dumbfounded isn’t helping.”

Yang Qingyin nodded, and they both entered Yang Qingyin’s room.

“What on earth is going on!” Once inside, Yang Qingye shut the door and asked Yang Qingyin urgently, “Why is dad acting so unexpectedly today? Did mom really date Ziling’s dad? And did daddy once pursue Ziling’s mom?”

Before Yang Qingyin could answer, he slapped his forehead hard, “This relationship is really messy, the matters of those days must have been very complicated.”

“You’re right,” Yang Qingyin did not deny it, “The matters of those days were indeed very complicated.”

“So, everything I just said is true?” Yang Qingye still looked slightly stunned.

“Pretty much,” Yang Qingyin nodded, “Mom really liked Luo Xusheng and even pursued him actively, but Luo Xusheng was only in love with Ling Ruonan. Later, they had Luo Ziling, and by then, Ling Ruonan was already betrothed to our Yang Family’s Yang Yunfeng. Naturally, the Ling and Yang families wouldn’t allow such things to happen, and you know these issues. What you don’t know is, not only did Yang Yunfeng like Ling Ruonan, dad did too, and even wanted to marry Ling Ruonan after Yang Yunfeng’s death.”

“Sigh,” Yang Qingye replied, feeling slightly dejected, “So, does that mean Luo Ziling’s parents were more outstanding than ours?”

“I don’t know about that,” Yang Qingyin shook her head, “The matters of those times, no matter how complicated, are already in the past. Let’s pretend nothing happened today. The quarrel between mom and dad was just a spur-of-the-moment thing; they can mend their relationship themselves. After all, they’ve been married for over twenty years.”

“Sis, I’ve heard that Yuqing’s mother also liked Ziling’s dad back in the days, and rumors say Yuqing is actually Luo Xusheng’s daughter,” Yang Qingye spoke hesitantly.

“Are you suggesting our father might also be Luo Xusheng?”

Yang Qingye hesitated for a moment, then nodded and expressed his concern, “If so, you and Ziling would be biological siblings, and I would become his biological brother too. If that’s the case, you being with him would be an incestuous affair!”

“We definitely won’t,” Yang Qingyin sighed, “But Luo Yuqing, she’s likely actually Ziling’s sister.”

“It’s complicated!” Yang Qingye scratched his head, “Their generation lived through such complexities, and now even our lives are tangled up in it.”

“Perhaps, this isn’t a bad thing!”

Yang Qingye was taken aback, not quite understanding Yang Qingyin’s point.

But Yang Qingyin didn’t explain anything further.
