The Ye Family’s heart skipped a beat, and she reached out to grab her son out of habit, "Son, what you said is a bit too harsh. Don’t you know your own worth? I know you care about , but there’s no need to talk like that. Don’t ntion tens of billions, I’d be overjoyed to see you earn two thousand a month on your own, I’d literally laugh myself awake from dreaming, really."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zheng’s mouth twitched a few tis. This mother’s expectations for him truly weren’t high.
Well, it’s because the previous ’Ye Zheng’ was a trust fund kid!
"Mom." He tried to comfort her, "Don’t worry, there’s always a solution. It’s late, you should go upstairs and rest, I need to talk to Dad."
"I’m not tired." Ye Family stubbornly insisted, but she was actually dead tired, "Go talk to him, I’ll just listen in on the side."
Ye Zheng knew she was worried, "Mom, it’s just so guys chatting, you go rest! Don’t worry, I won’t say anything stupid, I’ve got a brain, you know!"
Ye Family wanted to say that his brain was mostly for show, but after all, he’s her own son, carried for ten months and then born, what could she do?
Even if he’s disappointing, as a mother, she can’t disown him, right?
"Really... just chatting?" Ye Family was a bit uncertain.
"Yes, purely just chatting."
"Alright then." She thought boys really should communicate more with their fathers.
"Mom—" Ye Zheng looked at her deeply.
Ye Family suddenly felt disoriented, thinking when did her son beco so restrained?
Upon thinking this, she suddenly rembered that this change happened after that car accident!
After he woke up, he rembered nothing, she had to tell him bits about himself, and since then he’s beco... a bit different.
Still loves to stir things up, play, and avoid responsibilities like before, hanging around idly all day, but the aura he exudes is becoming more and more noble.
To be honest, he used to really seem like a thug.
Once Ye Zheng saw his mother really leave, he turned to face Father Ye’s confused eyes. He smiled faintly and stepped forward, "If Dad is worried I’ll cheat, we can make a pledge, how about that?"
"... Ye Zheng, are you not joking?" Father Ye couldn’t believe it.
Ye Zheng suddenly stepped back, "Since you still don’t believe , there’s nothing I can do, just miss this chance. It will be tougher to get to leave the Ye Family then."
These words pierced like a sharp blade into Father Ye’s heart. He stared dazedly at this son before him, inexplicably feeling unfamiliar.
That look, that deanor, was not at all like his son.
Instead, like a talented young man thriving in the business world—
He hesitated, then said, "Alright, we’ll make a pledge."
...
After the talk, Ye Zheng went upstairs and upon entering the room saw his mother inside making a phone call.
"Yes, yes, isn’t it? My kid just loves to play, but honestly he’s not bad at heart, just not mature enough yet. When he grows up a bit and settles down, he’ll be a good man."
"So I entrust you with this, it won’t be easy, the Feng Family’s girl isn’t an easy one, speak cautiously when you talk to her, be careful not to get chased away!"
Ye Zheng: "..."
Ye Family saw her son standing at the door, arms crossed, smiling eyes staring at her. She quickly said to the matchmaker, "Alright, I’ll hang up now, your reward won’t be small once it’s settled."
Hanging up, she imdiately put away her smile, "Hey! What did you say to your dad?"
Ye Zheng laughed and walked into the room, "Mom, your tone just now sounded like you raised a silly son and are hiring a matchmaker with a bribe to trick a virtuous wife into our ho."
He touched his nose, "Am I... really that bad?"
