Chapter 407: Changed name and surname
It’s not that they don’t know how to force others, nor that they don’t know that the impression Chu Haoxuan left in Ye Jing and the others was not very good. Despite this, they still have a blood relationship that is constantly being separated.
In fact, Ye Jing's heart was also turbulent. He could accept that Ye Lei and Chu Haoxuan were together because the other party could give him a wealthy life that he could not give. He was also snobbish, but Ye Jing just didn't want to see Ye Lei suffer and suffer again. But to ask him to call someone who is regarded as an enemy and say "Dad", it would be even more uncomfortable than killing him.
However, when he looked at Ye Lei's expectant and cautious eyes, he could not say anything he refused, but just kept silent.
Ye Lei was a little disappointed, but it was better than being rejected directly, so he continued to comfort him: "Xiao Jing, my mother just hopes to give you a complete home. Of course, I don't deny it because I love your father. Although he did do many wrong things in the past, it is not unforgivable. The reason for doing wrong things is because you can't help but learn to be considerate."
Silence slowly spread between the two, and Ye Lei's expectations and waiting were not urged.
Finally, after unknown how long it took, Ye Jing spoke and said, "Mom, what do you want me to do?"
Ye Lei was a little surprised. After being surprised, she sighed at Ye Jing's sensitivity. Does this mean that Ye Jing has noticed something? Ye Lei did not want to suspect, so she expressed her thoughts:
"After all, you are his children, so sooner or later you will return to the Chu family, not only because we will live together in the future, but also because you have the blood of their Chu family, so it will be a matter of time before you can recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors."
Ye Jing looked at Ye Lei in disbelief and murmured: "So you want to abandon us, right?"
Ye Lei widened her eyes and hurriedly said, "Of course not, how could you have such an idea?"
"Isn't this what it means to recognize ancestors and return to ancestors?" It's not that Ye Jing really doesn't understand, but once he recognizes ancestors and returns to ancestors, he must change his surname, so he still knows this.
Sure enough, Ye Lei's answer proved his idea: "Mom just told you to call him dad and change your name. You are still mother's children. Of course, if you don't like it, your mother will not force it."
Ye Lei may not know that Ye Jing has always been proud of his "Ye surname" because it was the surname that gave birth to his mother. Now he suddenly changed it to another surname, or the surname that he regarded as his enemy, how could he accept it?
Ye Jing’s idea was really surprising, and Ye Lei had to pay attention to it, so he asked carefully: “Xiao Jing, do you have any ideas? If you have one, tell your mother.”
Ye Jing wanted to say: You have changed, but you can't say it. No matter whether you change or not, Ye Lei is still his mother and the person he respects the most. And even if Ye Lei really changes, her concern for him will still disappear. What can he say?
"Mom, do you really like that person so much?" Ye Jing looked at Ye Lei and asked.
Ye Lei was stunned at first, and then felt that maybe this would make Ye Jing feel frivolous, but he still pursed his lips and nodded.
"Even though he did so much sorry and hurt you before?"
"Mom has forgiven him."
"Why?"
"There is no reason. Life is short, just like no one knows what will happen tomorrow. Instead of hating yourself to make you feel uncomfortable, it is better not to let yourself be free from anything."
I don’t understand the meaning of Ye Lei’s words, but I can still hear that Ye Lei’s choice is helpless. Why is this the case? Is this the so-called world of adults?
After all, Ye Jing is still a child who is less than eight years old. He is just ignorant about love affairs, so he naturally will not understand the ups and downs, hardships and happiness.
After a long silence, Ye Jing spoke again: "Since this is my mother's choice, I will not refuse."
"Xiao Jing——" Ye Lei called out with some concern.
Ye Jing frowned and said, "It's okay to change his name, but I won't call him dad."
"Xiao Jing!?" Ye Lei was surprised.
"I can only call him father, he is not worthy of the word dad." Ye Jing said his thoughts without hesitation. His face was extremely cautious and serious, as if even Ye Lei disagreed, his compromise was limited to this.
Ye Lei was stunned. Dad and father both had the same meaning at first glance. But who doesn’t know that compared to father, the title of Dad is obviously much more intimate. Simply put, it means that it has a more family feeling, and father seems much more alienated.
Ye Jing raised his little face and looked straight at Ye Lei, saying, "Mom, I don't admit that he is my father, at least not now. This is my bottom line."
Ye Lei felt a little sad in her throat. She never thought that she would force Ye Jing to this point, and she never even considered his feelings. She didn't know how much endurance she needed to say these words, but she only knew that she had hurt Ye Jing and the relationship between them, mother and son.
"Xiao Jing——"
"I won't hate my mother. Although my mother said hatred is bad, I just hate him. If it weren't for his mother, I wouldn't have suffered so much. If it weren't for her later things, I wouldn't have happened. Even if he is good to his mother now, so what? The previous ones will not change."
At this moment, Ye Lei felt that Ye Jing had suddenly grown up, so old that she was a little unfamiliar with her, but she felt extremely relieved in her heart.
"It doesn't matter if the person's last name is given, but I also have a request. I will not discard my mother's last name."
Hearing this, Ye Lei's eyes blurred instantly, and she could no longer control the emotions in her heart and directly hugged Ye Jing tightly into her arms.
How long has it been since she hugged the person in her arms? Ye Lei doesn't remember it. It's not that she doesn't want to hug her, but that Ye Jing will avoid her after becoming sensible. Over time, she no longer does that. But now, Ye Lei just wants to hug the person in her arms and pass on his warmth to him.
In addition to the initial stiffness, Ye Jing still compromised, without resisting, only compromise and feeling the other party's warmth. Ye Lei's arms filled him with nostalgia. It was not that he really didn't like to be hugged by Ye Lei, but that he knew that being hugged would only make him unable to grow up since he became sensible, so he repeatedly forced Ye Lei to push away by resisting his inner desire.
"It's okay, I'll listen to Xiaojing. I'll do whatever Xiaojing says, mom supports you." He spoke out from Ye Lei's mouth with a choked voice, and he seemed to use all his strength to say these words, and after he finished speaking, he was completely speechless.
