Defrosting The Cold Young Master Chapter 1715 - 1719: Beautiful Yet Hollow

I accidentally kissed Wei Hanting’s lips yesterday, so sorry about that.

Beitang Xinya was clueless about what happened, utterly confused, and could only helplessly say to Wei Hanting and the others, "Tingxue is the youngest, both her brothers spoil her, they’ve spoiled her rotten, you are all her siblings, if she does anything wrong, feel free to teach her a lesson, don’t hold back."

Ye Xingbei held back laughter and shook her head, "No, Auntie, Tingxue is very cute, and she even steps forward bravely for a just cause, she’s a good girl with a kind heart."

"Exactly, exactly!" Beitang Tingxue nodded in agreent, "I am well-educated and sensible, smart, cute, gentle and kind, I have so many good points you can’t count them all!"

Beitang Xinya looked at her helplessly and said, "And what about your flaws?"

"Blind as a bat!" Beitang Tingxue said angrily, "With the best intentions I saved soone, and ended up saving a treacherous!... And Yue Zhi! I’ve called him dad for so many years, and I just found out he’s an absolute scumbag! If I’d known what kind of person he was, I wouldn’t have called him dad even once."

Beitang Xinya sighed and shook her head, "Tingxue, don’t be like this, no matter what, he is your biological father."

"Biological father?" Beitang Tingxue sneered, "A biological father who fras his own daughter to transfer her inheritance rights to his illegitimate child?"

Beitang Xinya opened her mouth but said nothing further.

"Mom, I don’t understand," Beitang Tingxue suddenly thought of sothing, "Since Yue Zhi likes Wu Runjia so much, why didn’t he marry Wu Runjia and instead chose to harm you?"

Beitang Xinya said, "Because back then, both the Beitang family and the Yue family needed a marriage alliance, and at that ti, the Beitang family was the best alliance for the Yue family. Your dad did ntion to your grandparents that he wanted to marry Wu Runjia, but Wu Runjia ca from a modest family and couldn’t provide any help to the Yue family, so your grandparents refused."

"Then why did he suddenly turn against us and dare to plot against us?" Beitang Tingxue frowned. "Is it because now our Beitang family’s company isn’t doing as well as the Yue family’s company?"

"No," Beitang Xinya was silent for a mont before saying, "because Jiarun’s uncle was promoted to Deputy Director of the Treasury Departnt a few months ago, Tingxue..."

Beitang Xinya looked up at Beitang Tingxue, "In the face of absolute power, a public-listed company is like a castle in the air, beautiful but unsubstantial, easily blown away by the wind..."

Beitang Tingxue clenched her fists in anger, "Mom, do you an that because Jiarun’s uncle got promoted, they have the confidence to shift from the shadows to the open and openly bully us?"

Beitang Xinya silently nodded.

It was also because of this that she and her son decided so readily to give up the inheritance rights.

Just like what she had just told her daughter, in the face of absolute power, a public-listed company is like a castle in the air, beautiful but unsubstantial, easily blown away by the wind.

If her son didn’t give up the inheritance rights and the Wu family dealt with them, not only would they not be able to keep the inheritance rights of the Yue family, she wouldn’t be able to keep the Beitang family’s company either.

Seeing Beitang Xinya nod, Beitang Tingxue thought of sothing and suddenly froze, her eyes gradually reddening.

"Tingxue?" Beitang Xinya held her hand, worriedly asked, "What’s the matter?"

"Mom..." Beitang Tingxue looked at Beitang Xinya, her voice trembling slightly, "I, I think I know why Second Brother suddenly went to join the army... Hasn’t Wu Runjia’s uncle been an official for several years now?"
