Chapter 212 - Humilated Ye Sheng

*********

CHAPTER 212

The words that came out of his father's mouth were appalling and bewildering. Regardless, he went on speaking about just how good and well-mannered she was that he failed to notice just how irritated Ye Cheng was.

"So, I think it would be wise for Ye Cheng and Qiuyue to get to know each other better," Ye Sheng added after some time.

Unknown to him, all his son could hear him say was blah blah blah…

"Ye Cheng!"

"Father."

"I hope you would treat Fang Qiuyue well?" Ye Sheng asked. His face was full of smiles and so much hope that left Ye Cheng more disgusted than before.

"I never said anything. I am not yet ready to get married, so I would hate to keep Miss Fang here waiting. I know there are so much pretty boys in love with her and are vying for her hand in marriage, not so?"

"Ye Cheng!"

"I am asking a simple question here father. For a girl of her calibre with such good looks and behaviour, it can only mean she had numerous suitors. It would be wrong for me if I make such beauty and well-mannered girl wait?

"Ye Cheng!" Ye Sheng was going to have a headache because of his son. How could he say such things openly?

"Father, if this is what you called my attention for, I am sorry to say, I have better things doing. Mr Fang, I am sorry I would have to take my leave first."

"Ye Cheng!"

Ye Cheng did not pay his father or Fang Qiuyue any heed and walked out of the meeting. The last thing he ever wanted to be a part of was an arranged business marriage.

Not again. Not in his life would he live that way.

It was his parents' doom and he was not willing to go through that part with anybody. His mother and father had married based on a business stand and although both of them had grown up together in love, as they were family friends, still when it came to, things weren't as good.

They were friends but not lovers and their parents felt it was a good match and it would prosper their company when two strong families came together in marital union. Look where the marriage had left them?

For the failure of his parent's marriage, he couldn't blame it entirely on his father, no. His mother still had her fair share of the blame but what he had least expected from his father was that since he loved her, then he should have been there for her when her withdrawal symptoms started and helped her find her way out and not move on to have flings to satisfy his sexual urges.

Sex wasn't just the only thing in life and the fact that he let it control him, was something Yue Cheng was disappointed in.

That was why when Ru Mei Xing came to him, he felt extremely irritated by girls who felt they could use what was between their legs to get what they wanted. What was worse was that these girls feel they could control men with that thing and it was damn annoying.

They should know they can only control loosed men and nothing more. 

"Ye Cheng!" Ye Sheng called out once more but his sons wanted no part of what he had to say and took his leave.

Ye Sheng who had stood up, calling his son's name was left in shock by the attitude his son portrayed. Clutching his hand to his heart his eyes dimmed. He was just humiliated big time in front of his business partner.

'How can he refuse such a classy, well-mannered young lady? This boy's mother has spoilt him so much. Okay, we would see who has the final say.' Ye Sheng thought to himself before he sat down and apologized.

"I am sorry, Fang Qiang. I apologize for Ye Cheng's behaviour."

"Not to worry my friend. We are more than business partners." Fang Qiang replied. Hearing his friend's words, Ye Sheng's expression lit up.

"I know he is probably having a lot on his plate right now that is why. Give him time, he would come to realize that the thoughts you have for him are of good," he continued.

"Thank you so much, Qiang. It really means a lot coming from you."

"No worries, no worries." Fang Qiang smiled at Ye Sheng reassuringly.

Ye Sheng who felt relieved that his friend wasn't angry quickly turned over to where Fang Qiuyue sat and with an apologetic smile, he cupped both hands in front of his face.

"My dear, I am sorry you had to witness that bad behaviour from your future spouse. Please forgive him and do not take it to heart."

"It is okay, Uncle does not need to apologize to me. I am alright sir. It is just as father said. I bet he has so much going on in his life right now. So we should give him time. I know of a fact that Ye Cheng would make a much better husband than all the other guys."

"Oh my! Such a brilliant girl. Kindly do not leave my Ye Cheng and show him just how much you are worth. Do not lose to other girls vying for him, alright?"

"Thank you, Uncle, for the tips."

"No need to thank me. I would be happy having you as my daughter-in-law." They smiled at him and soon their meals were served. It was time to eat.

"Shall we?" Ye Sheng asked the father and daughter duo and they nodded their reply.

Meanwhile, after his successful escape from the nightmare he was about to live in, Ye Cheng did not waste time rushing over to Mr Lin's house to meet up with Li Jing. He had wanted to call her and see if she was still around but kicked against it as he knew that he did not spend too much time with his father.

'Li Jing, I hope you are doing well. Don't forget to breathe.' He cautioned her in his mind like she was hearing him and sped up.
