Reborn As a System
Chapter 78
Shi Qing was taken away by Qin Mo and was on the way. He was still regretting that he couldn't judge Ye Xin's performance up close. However, since his host was in such a hurry to complete the mission, he couldn't dawdle. Hence, the two of them went straight to Lin Su's residence.
On the other hand, at the Ye residence, Ye Xin was going all out. She cheered herself on and finally knocked on her father's bedroom door.
Grandfather Ye was old. Although he slept early, he didn't sleep deeply. He would wake up at the slightest movement. Who would knock on the door in the middle of the night?
He pressed the confirmation button and saw his fourth son.
Grandfather Ye frowned. He put on his robe and got out of bed to let Ye Xin in.
Then, he began to be stupefied. Stupefied.
Ye Xiao had been in the military all his life. Although he was not an uncouth man, he was still a pure man. He had spent all his time on love and affection for his wife. He did not have the nerve to consider other people at all.
Even if it was his own son, it was the same.
Therefore, he didn't know that Ye Xin had someone else in her heart. Although it was a little presumptuous of him to find a partner for her, to a certain extent, it was his responsibility and obligation as a father.
He didn't think that Ye Xin would reject this marriage, just as he didn't think that his prideful fourth son would kneel on the ground with a plop.
Ye Xin's opening speech was taught well by Shi Qing.
He said on the spot, "Dad, your son is wrong. Your son is unfilial. It's all your son's fault."
First, he put down his pride and took responsibility for everything. It was all his fault. He took the initiative to admit defeat and made Grandfather Ye's heart soften. Oh my, my precious son, what's wrong with you?!
Then, Ye Xin continued to work hard and recited the script that she had memorized in her heart.
In the beginning, it was Shi Qing who said it word by word for him to hear. When he heard it, he felt that he couldn't say it. Even if he said it, it was rigid and emotionless. Ye Rou could see the flaw in it immediately.
But what he didn't expect was that at this time, when he really opened his mouth, these words seemed to have been suppressed in his heart for a long, long time. Once he opened his mouth, he couldn't stop. It was completely from his heart, and all his true feelings were naturally revealed. There was no trace of pretense at all.
"Dad, I don't know what to do. I don't dare to tell anyone else, let alone you. I've spent five years trying to forget him, but I can't do it. I know it's impossible between us. His age, his status, his relationship with you, and his relationship with the Ye family are all impossible. I know all of this, I know all of this, but I really can't control it. Dad, I can't do it, I can't forget him. I really don't know what to do …"
Ye Xin's tears kept falling as she spoke. She had never been so embarrassed in her life, and she had never been so humble, but she didn't regret it at all.
Just like what Ye Liu said, this was because they loved their father. So what if they were in a sorry state? So what if they were lowly?
The old man was completely stunned. His heart was filled with all kinds of condiments, and it was a mixed feeling that he didn't know what to feel.
He was a little angry, but more than that, he felt heartache.
He knew his own child. If Ye Xin stubbornly came to confront him with a straight face, then Ye Wu would definitely fly into a rage. Although she couldn't bear to hit him, she would definitely scold him harshly. She might even forcefully marry him off.
But seeing Ye Xin like this, he couldn't get angry. Ye Xin really didn't know what to do. His child really didn't know what to do. That was why she came to see him like this …
Ye Xin knelt on the ground. Although her tears kept flowing, she didn't cry at all. Her voice wasn't loud either. It was even a little weak. "Dad, I know you're doing this for my own good. You've found me the most suitable partner. If there's no one in my heart, I'll definitely live well for the rest of my life.
But it's too late. What should I do? Dad, if I don't tell you anything and just get married like this, I really don't know what to do when Gu Yan finds out about my feelings in the end!
I haven't forgotten him for five years. I don't know if I can forget him in the next five years, or the five years after that. If I can't forget him, how am I going to face the Gu family? How am I going to face Gu Yan? When that time comes, how am I going to live … "
If the previous words had softened Ye Rou's heart, then these words had directly hit Ye Rou's heart, making him suddenly wake up.
Ye Wu was an Alpha. Although he couldn't understand the helplessness of an Omega and sometimes couldn't consider everything, he was an experienced elder after all. After being 'unintentionally' enlightened by Ye Xin, he instantly saw a further future.
If Ye Xin really had such a deep obsession with Lin Feng and he insisted on her marrying into the Gu family, then the consequences would really be unimaginable.
As an Alpha, how could they not understand this point?
Their Omega having someone else in her heart was simply an insult for the rest of her life. Even if she had the support of the Ye family, then Ye Xin's life … would also …
Sigh!
Ye Wu sighed heavily and helped Ye Xin up. Finally, he said his first sentence of the night, "You … you child!"
Ye Xin wept without saying a word.
Ye Wu felt heartache and helplessness. In the end, he thought of Lin Feng and couldn't help but vent all his anger on him. "Lin Feng, that bastard!
I was really blind back then! "
Regarding this, Shi Qing also instructed that if Ye Wu scolded Lin Feng, Ye Xin should listen obediently.
Ye Xin actually couldn't care about this right now. His emotions fluctuated greatly and he was also very shocked.
He had doubts about Ye Liu's words before. Before he knocked on the door and came in, he also thought about many things. However, all the results pointed to one thing, which was that Ye Wu would fly into a rage and flatly reject him. He might even beat and scold him.
He thought that he couldn't communicate with his father.
But now that he said it, Ye Wu's reaction was completely beyond his imagination.
He didn't beat him or scold him. He could feel that Ye Wu was very angry but because she felt heartache for him, she endured everything. In the end, his mountain-like father actually sighed helplessly.
Ye Xin had never cried for so long in his life. He always knew that Ye Wu doted on him but he really didn't expect his father to love him so much.
And he was actually so unfilial.
Although Shi Qing didn't get to watch as he wished, he wasn't worried.
Although the old man and Ye Xin almost turned against each other last week, the root of the problem was that they lacked communication and they were blinded by anger.
Also, the two of them were too proud and wanted to be strong.
Even if they were father and son and brothers, if they blindly clashed with each other, it would only end in a lose-lose situation.
If they took a step back from the start, the situation would be completely different.
To a certain extent, this was Shi Qing's outlook on life. It was also this outlook that allowed him to live comfortably by Qin Mo's side.
Shi Qing followed behind Qin Mo and the two of them entered the Lin residence. In the middle of the night, they saw General Lin, who was still busy with military affairs.
After that, Shi Qing witnessed Film Emperor Qin's superb acting skills.
Qin Mo strode into the study and grabbed Lin Feng's collar. His eyes were filled with anger. "Lin Feng!
You beast! "
Lin Feng wasn't the only one who was stunned. Even Shi Qing, who was walking with him, was also stunned.
Lin Feng didn't have time to react before a heavy punch landed on his head. What surprised him even more was that he couldn't dodge it at all.
But then, the fighting spirit in his body awakened. Lin Feng leaned back and blocked the next wave of attack.
Qin Mo's expression didn't change. He turned and punched the target accurately. It was aimed at Lin Feng's head.
The two of them went back and forth. For a moment, it was hard to tell who was the winner.
Shi Qing watched with his mouth wide open for a while. Then, he silently closed his mouth. He was an expert now. He could tell that Qin Mo wasn't serious. He was just playing with this blockhead.
Of course, Lin Feng didn't dare to use his full strength. He was guilty. Although there was nothing between him and Ye Xin, he liked Ye Xin. This was enough for him to feel guilty for the rest of his life.
But they couldn't continue fighting like this. Lin Feng took a break and opened his mouth to say, "Ye Mo, you … what are you doing?"
"What am I doing?"
Qin Mo didn't stop. His voice was cold. "You have the guts to do something but don't have the guts to admit it?"
Lin Feng was slightly stunned. He couldn't dodge this move. His handsome face was scratched. In an instant, there was a cut and blood seeped out.
But he didn't have time to care. He only said loudly, "I, Lin Feng, am not a coward!"
This sentence made Qin Mo stop. He looked at Lin Feng with a mocking smile, his eyes filled with anger. "Aren't you a coward?
Good!
Then you will immediately go to the Ye family to propose marriage tomorrow! "
"Propose … propose marriage?" Lin Su's expression changed so much that he could go to Sichuan to play with his face.
"What … what does this mean?
I … How can I … "
"What?
Scared again?
Do you know you ruined Ye Xin! "
Hearing Ye Xin's name, Lin Su's expression changed slightly. "Ye Xin, what happened to Ye Xin?"
Qin Mo looked at him coldly. His expression was definitely the best brother in the world. He looked as if he was extremely angry. Not only was his expression on point, but his tone was also very stiff.
"Ye Xin is an adult. Father is preparing to propose marriage for her. But when he mentioned marriage, all the aristocratic families avoided him. They said that she is General Lin's sweetheart. They said that she was already engaged by you, so no one dared to mention it!"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Su was completely dumbfounded.
"Impossible, impossible!
I didn't!
Absolutely not, Ye Xin and I, we … we have nothing! "
Qin Mo sneered. "Nothing?
Then tell me what you did these two years?
Who did you spend your holidays with every year?
Who did you go to look for on your days off?
Since there is nothing, why do you stay by Ye Xin's side all day?
Since there is nothing, why don't you get married? "
A series of questions made Lin Su's handsome face turn white.
These … He couldn't answer all of them.
He liked Ye Xin and only had Ye Xin in his heart. He hated that he couldn't look at her all the time. He usually restrained himself, but as long as Ye Xin looked for him, he couldn't control himself at all.
He knew that he wasn't worthy of Ye Xin, so he had been scrupulously abiding by his duty. He didn't even dare to get too close to her. He thought this was enough, but he didn't expect that he still delayed her.
Lin Su was disheartened. He knew that the turning point of an Omega's life was marriage. If he was covered in dust without marriage, then this Omega was almost ruined …
Ye Xin … Ye Xin should have a better life. She should have a handsome young Alpha to love her. They would have children. They would support each other and spend their lives together peacefully.
And he would always protect her in the dark. As long as he could see her, he would be satisfied.
But these … were all destroyed by him.
Lin Su stood there in a daze. The brave and unstoppable general on the battlefield was at a loss at this moment.
Qin Mo looked at him. His voice calmed down, but it was still as cold as ice.
"Don't find excuses for yourself. The so-called good for Ye Xin is just because you are timid. As a general of the Federation, you are simply a coward!
You are afraid that Ye Xin is young, you are afraid that her temperament is unstable, you are afraid that her love is just an impulse. You are afraid that as time passes, you will become older and older. You are afraid that Ye Xin will hate you, leave you, and abandon you. "
"You are so afraid that you don't dare to take a step forward. You are so afraid that you would rather never touch her than lose her after getting her. You don't even dare to fight for her. You only know how to blindly imagine that there will be a better person to love Ye Xin.
Why don't you think about whether Ye Xin, whose heart is with you, can be accepted by others?
You keep saying that it is all for Ye Xin, but in fact, you are selfish and only think about yourself. "
"Am I right?" Qin Mo raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at him with disdain. "You selfish and timid coward!"
