"I ache for Yiyi just as you ache for me. Seeing you ridicule her like that, do you think it doesn't pain me? Doesn't break my heart?"
"Grandma, your actions are a hundred times more cruel than how I just treated you. You are the elder, and I couldn't possibly do anything to you, so I can only bear this pain silently in my heart as I watch Yiyi be wronged."
Ye Che repeated the old lady's words back to her, word for word. He let out a sigh, steadied himself to be calm and composed, and then continued to speak.
"If you can't accept Xia Weiyi, then you can't accept me. It would be best if you could accept that, but if not, from now on, I will never bring Xia Weiyi before you again."
A stark, naked threat!
He was absolutely possessed!
Ye Che had once used this tactic to threaten his grandfather; was he now threatening her with the same?
Was he willing to see his family and himself ruined, to bring disaster upon his country, just for the sake of Xia Weiyi?
