Chapter 232 - Some Happy While Others… (4)

And when he started to hear about Yu Yan's glorious past, he started to despise the other party. 

It was to the point that he loathed himself for trying to get such a woman. He also felt thankful that he could get away from her before he got too close and earned himself a better woman. 

But…

That was the beginning of his downfall. He made the biggest mistake of trusting his woman without trying to assert whether it was the truth or not. He treated Yu Yan so badly that it was nearly impossible for him to repair their broken relationship to even become a friend.

He used to loath her so much.

But now he understood how stupid he was. The only reason why she was mistreated was because her capability was not as good as the other person. His uncle had told him when he was young that everyone has different capability and gift.

Even brother and sister can be different in their specialization and talent. Not everyone was born the same.

But Yu Family wanted both of their daughter to be equally brilliant. Yu Yan, who didn't have as much talent as Yu Xin, couldn't keep up with their demand and ended up becoming the abandoned child that was loathed in her own family.

How tragic.

That also made him unable to know the truth right away. He could only think of Yu Yan as an unfilial child who didn't even want to care for her family members. But thinking from another perspective.

Her parents had never even cared for her nor fulfilling their duty as parents.

How could Yu Yan care for them when they already not care for her and treated her worse than servants? Not everyone would be able to put up with such treatment. And Bao Tu himself knew he couldn't.

If he was treated badly by other people, he would not be able to act nice to them. 

If they ignored him, do they think that he was so easy to bully and have to answer to their every demand?

He was not their slave.

Bao Tu put down the newspaper in his hand as he sighed. He had been very tired recently because there were a lot of cases that he had to handle. His body kept on getting beaten up because of the criminals that passed the area.

From being up above as the heir with money and company worth billions to a mere security guard like this. His enemies were already coming at him, making fun of him and yet he couldn't do anything to fight back.

His fingers balled into a fist.

He felt utterly exhausted. 

How laughable of him to think that he would be the winner when he ended up in this state after all of that.

…

"Boss, your daughter is in television."

"Where?" 

Yu Zheng Tong put down the documents in his hand as he walked to the television. After he had lost Yu Company, he built new Yu Company with the name Yu Er Company. This time, it was at much smaller scale and no longer involved with jewelries. He was now dealing with delivery at the outer edge of City A.

Even though it was not as profitable as his previous company, it was still good enough for an old bone like him. At the very least, he didn't have to do menial work and still able to become the leader of a company.

He looked at the television and saw that it was showing Xingyan Jewelry Store. The main focus was Long Shu Ting and also Lei Xing Yi who were chatting with each other. However, Yu Zheng Tong didn't pay attention to them.

His eyes landed on the back where he could see a young woman stood with a man beside her.

Yu Yan and Long Ying.

She was dressed in beautiful dress but she acted as if she was nothing more than a spectator in the opening ceremony. It was clear that she had no intention of taking the spotlight from her younger cousin sister.

"Yu Yan…" Yu Zheng Tong muttered.

His friend patted him on the back. "You have raised a good daughter. She's more successful than you."

Hearing the praise, Yu Zheng Tong muttered instinctively. "I didn't raise her…" 

"Hmm, did you say something?"

"Nothing."

Yu Zheng Tong passed another glance at the television once more before he retracted his gaze. It was already good enough that she could live well. Even if she forgot about him, he would not be angry.

He deserved to be forgotten by his first daughter for his treatment to her, so he would not try to bother her anymore.

"Get back to work."

"Yes, Boss!"

…

- Long Family Mansion -

Long Shao Huai naturally noticed that Long Shu Ting appeared again in public. And this time, he did this to help his younger brother, who was not supposed to be close to him.

He could no longer move around and his life completely depended on the machine beside his bed. His men were the one who delivered him information from time to time regarding what happened outside.

"Shao Han, are you here?"

"Yes."

Long Shao Han appeared from the shadow. He looked at his older brother without any expression. His silver eyes were capable to see the darkness as if it was light. There was no night time for him.

"What do you think of that?"

Pointing at the document that stated Long Shu Ting's appearance in the new store that belonged to Long Ying's wife, Long Shao Huai's breathing turned rough. He coughed a few times as he could feel his strength starting to leave him. 

"What are your own opinion?" Long Shao Han didn't immediately answer. He had seen the picture and naturally have some guesses in his mind.

"What do I think?" Long Shao Huai laughed maniacally. "That none of my sons are worthy of this damn seat and that they should all just die!"
