Chapter 616 Not Listening, Not Accepting
Ye Shenge was startled by the sharp voice that suddenly appeared and frowned, looking at Tiantian. How had this girl become so extreme?
"Tiantian, calm down. What did your sister teach you?"
"But why must you force me like this!"
Did you really not understand? Ye Shenge didn't want to discuss such emotional issues in front of others. Forbidden love that was not accepted would face different kinds of scrutiny once revealed to the public.
"Gu Miao, you leave first."
"Okay, I'll wait outside the courtyard."
As Gu Miao left, he gave Tiantian a deep look. Why wouldn't she enjoy the good life she had?
"Tiantian, why don't you try looking at it from a different perspective? Can Xiao Mi'er call her father Zi Yisheng? That's disrespectful. Min Hang is your father, and that can never change."
"I'm not being disrespectful. I've always called him Min Hang since I was little. Besides, he's not my father. My father died long ago."
"Then am I your sister? We defined our roles from the beginning. Min Hang took on the role of a father, raising you, taking care of you, and bringing you here for treatment from afar. Why do you think he did all this for you? Your current behavior is betraying his efforts. He even took on the responsibility of being a father at an age when he should have been getting married and having children. Do you want him to delay his life for you any longer? When everyone could be happy, why choose the most selfish path?"
"I'm not. I'm not selfish!"
"Then be good, let Min Hang go, and let yourself go. I know you can understand what I'm saying. I promise you'll have a wonderful future."
Tiantian looked at her sister with tears in her eyes, suddenly feeling that everyone was a stranger. They had never spoken to her like this before, nor had they ever criticized her.
"Sister, I've grown up."
"And then?"
"I can decide everything for myself."
"Do you mean you don't need me to manage you anymore?"
Tiantian pursed her lips tightly, as if enduring or perhaps contemplating. Ye Shenge waited patiently.
"Can't it be like before?"
"It's precisely like before. You just need to enjoy life, and everything will fall into place."
Ye Shenge gently took Tiantian's hand, wondering if she had persuaded her.
"What do you mean by 'fall into place'?"
"When it's time to work, you work. When it's time to get married, you find your other half. Doesn't that sound wonderful?"
"Then what about Min Hang?"
"He's the same. Although it's very late, he needs to experience what he should. That's a perfect life. Don't you think so?"
Tiantian suddenly pulled her hand away and took a few steps back. Looking at the person in front of her again, her eyes held a stubbornness.
"I feel like things are fine the way they are, so I don't need to change. Sister, I'll go see Min Hang first."
"Tiantian!"
Ye Shenge reached out but couldn't grab her, watching the retreating figure with disappointment.
Tiantian roughly pushed open the door and rushed to the bedside. Min Hang, only covered by a blanket from the waist down, quickly covered himself as soon as he saw her.
"You're getting more and more undisciplined. Is this how I taught you to enter without knocking!"
Tiantian, with a blank expression, kicked off her shoes and lay down beside Min Hang. Just as she was about to rest her head on his shoulder, she was forcefully pushed away.
"Get out! Mo Tiantian, don't make me call someone to throw you out."
"I'm not leaving."
Ye Shenge stood at the doorway. Hearing everything, she knocked and walked in. Seeing the scene, a knot tightened in her chest.
"Get down. You never had this habit since you were little. Mo Tiantian, don't force me."
"Sister."
"Get down. This is the last warning."
Ye Shenge was rarely so serious. Min Hang, ignoring his back pain, pushed her forcefully, directly shoving her to the ground.
Tiantian's elbow broke the skin as she fell. She sat on the ground, looking wronged at the two people glaring at her.
"I hate you!"
After shouting, she ran out without even wearing her shoes. Ye Shenge quickly followed.
"Asen, follow her. Don't let anything happen!"
Gu Miao heard the commotion and ran back, coincidentally running into Tiantian. But he didn't even try to stop her.
"Hey! Why didn't you stop her?"
"You didn't tell me to."
Asen, speechless, quickly chased after them. What was going on?
Ye Shenge stood there for a while to calm herself. Gu Miao reached out to help her back to her room but was stopped.
"I'm fine."
Ye Shenge returned to Min Hang's room and closed the door. She sat silently on a chair by the bed.
"Did you say anything?"
"I said what needed to be said. She doesn't listen and doesn't accept it."
Min Hang also buried his face in the pillow, feeling dejected. He didn't know what to do anymore. Should he really send her away?
"Why don't we send her to Mo Lin's place for a while?"
Min Hang fell silent at Ye Shenge's suggestion.
"Will she think she's been abandoned? That would only stimulate her more."
"Isn't she being stimulated now? Do you want to see the situation worsen?"
"Then, then let Mo Lin come back to pick her up. That's better than sending her away."
"Okay. Take two more people to look after her and also keep an eye on her so she doesn't run off."
Min Hang sighed heavily. Fine, they had to be firm.
Running barefoot, she couldn't run fast. A small pebble caused Tiantian to fall. Asen walked over lazily. Looking at the disheveled girl, he felt no pity. Although he didn't know the exact situation, he could guess most of it.
He didn't want to judge anyone. Mo Tiantian, though pitiable in her childhood, was very fortunate to have met Madam, which changed her life. She was, in essence, raised in pampering. She had everything others could only envy, so why did she still yearn for what didn't belong to her?
"If you can stand up, come back with me."
"Uncle Asen, they all hate me."
"No one hates you. But if you continue to make a scene, I guarantee everyone will hate you."
"Wuwuwu, why!"
Asen and the others were not compassionate people. Even though they had watched Tiantian grow up, they didn't have much affection for her. She was just a child adopted by Madam, so they couldn't give her too much attention. Naturally, their patience was limited.
He picked her up and slung her over his shoulder, carrying her away without regard for her struggles.
Elder Fan was just finishing his work and heading back, thinking about the barbecue and wine for the evening.
"What's going on here?"
"She's misbehaving and running off."
"What's wrong with this girl? She hasn't been quiet for the past few days. She wasn't like this when she was little."
"She's spoiled by Young Master Min."
Hearing this, tears streamed down Tiantian's face. What had she done to make everyone dislike her?
"Tiantian, listen to Grandpa Fan. No matter what it is, discuss it. See how your sister discussed things with you and got them done. Making a scene will only amplify the conflict and solve nothing."
"Wuwuwu, Grandpa Fan, I'm upset."
"Oh, kid, can't you be gentler? Just pick her up and carry her back."
"I'm already being gentle. It's not appropriate for me to carry her."
