Chapter 1282: What Did You Do?

Chapter 1282: Chapter 1282: What Did You Do?

"Nothing is deserved," Zhao Gushen said flatly. "Including love, there is no love that is taken for granted. You always have to give to receive. If you only want to receive without giving, that’s not how things work. Even if you passively accept at the beginning, if there is no reciprocation, over time, the other person will stop giving to you."

"This holds true for any family, at any time. You did not give her the love she deserved; how dare you demand her to repay you without reciprocation, even with virtue in return? Even if she is hurt, she should still love you. Even if she is manipulated, she should still repay you. If there is anyone in the world you can find who can do this, I am willing to call you both father-in-law and mother-in-law for life."

"But you can’t find one. No one in the world can do what you’re expecting Ye Fei to do," Zhao Gushen said coldly.

"Just because she didn’t help you when you asked for help, because you weren’t invited to the wedding, you resent her, you blame her, you gossip about her. Have you thought about the things you’ve done from the day she was born to now — how do you expect her not to resent you, not to blame you?"

"With the power she has now, honestly, making you lose everything and unable to appear in front of her again would be an easy task. But she hasn’t done that, nor has she ever asked me to do anything to you."

"Despite what you’ve done to her, she remembers, yet she has no intention of retaliating, which is already kind enough. I can’t even find someone like her anymore."

"Yet you still don’t realize your mistakes," Zhao Gushen said coldly. "It seems even the father she said wasn’t too bad is actually not a good one. Otherwise, he wouldn’t allow Xu Huizhen and Ye Ning to cause such a scene on such an important day."

Zhao Gushen had not finished speaking when Xu Huizhen shouted, "I am her mother! I gave birth to her, raised her. Without me, where would she be? If I hadn’t given birth to her, there wouldn’t even be a person named Ye Fei in this world. Let alone who she is today!"

"I gave her life, and even if she gave me a life in return, it would be deserved!" Xu Huizhen yelled, "Just for that, whatever I demand from her is not excessive! However I treat her, it’s not excessive! I gave her life, and she still wants to resent me? She still wants to take revenge on me? If she really does that, she has no conscience! Can’t she see how much I suffered to give birth to her and raise her? I put in so much effort, and she can never repay it all in this lifetime."

Zhao Gushen tilted his head and said, "Seal her mouth for me."

Immediately, someone came over and taped Xu Huizhen’s mouth shut.

"Mmm mmm!" Xu Huizhen was anxious.

She had so much more to say.

But with her mouth sealed, it really affected her ability to express herself.

Zhao Gushen ignored Xu Huizhen and said to Ye Dezhang, "If you really want to ask Ye Fei why she didn’t invite you, if you really feel sad, why do you have to ask at the wedding? Have you thought about how asking this at the wedding will leave a mark that will never be forgotten on what should be a perfect wedding?"

"You’re only thinking of satisfying yourself, getting the answers you want, questioning Ye Fei. You’re only thinking about how wronged you are, that Ye Fei shouldn’t do this to you or that. Have you ever thought for even a minute about Ye Fei? Have you considered what impact this would have on such an important wedding for her?"

Ye Dezhang, feeling guilty from Zhao Gushen’s words, slowly hung his head.

"You didn’t even think about why Ye Fei would rather go to her godparents than come to you."

Seeing Ye Dezhang’s shock, Zhao Gushen sneered, "You didn’t know she had godparents, did you?"

"During the most difficult five years in City B, it was her godparents who helped take care of Xiao Mo. While you were complaining about her being ungrateful, she was receiving care from others. The sisterly affection she couldn’t get from her biological parents, she received from others."

"Feelings have nothing to do with blood," Zhao Gushen said. "Her godparents treated her well, and she treats them well. She truly considers them her family, her own family, which is why she married from there."

"She didn’t let her godfather walk her down the aisle but did it herself," Zhao Gushen said. "Because she considered you. However, to have you walk her down the aisle..."

Zhao Gushen sneered, "You are not worthy."

"So, she walked herself, just like her journey from birth to now. Every road she has walked herself," Zhao Gushen said.

"You, you all," Zhao Gushen looked at Xu Huizhen again, "besides giving her life, what else have you done?"

"You’ve done nothing yet expect so much?" Zhao Gushen sneered.

"Don’t tell me that you gave birth to her, gave her life, and that’s why she is who she is now," Zhao Gushen said coldly. "That kind of excuse is useless to me."

"When Xu Huizhen and Ye Ning bullied Ye Fei, what did you do?" Zhao Gushen asked Ye Dezhang. "Knowing full well what Xu Huizhen and Ye Ning have done, what did you do? You still came to Ye Fei for them."

"What did you do when Ye Fei was helpless as a child?" Zhao Gushen said coldly. "And now you’re trying to exercise your rights as a father?"

"I... I did a lot, I did a lot within my abilities..." Ye Dezhang stammered in rebuttal.

"What did you do? When Xu Huizhen gave all the good food to Ye Ning and only let Ye Fei eat the leftovers, you remained silent. That’s what you did. During Ye Fei’s after-school hours, during her vacations, you took her to the restaurant kitchen. Under the guise of teaching her culinary skills, you were really just having her help out."

"When Ye Ning went out to play with others, spending the pocket money given by the family, Ye Fei was in the restaurant helping you earn money. It’s safe to say that part of Ye Ning’s spending money was earned by Ye Fei. Yet Ye Fei got nothing. You thought putting Ye Fei in the kitchen was protecting her."

"But when one daughter gets to play happily outside and the other daughter has to work in the kitchen for a moment of peace, is that protection?"

"When Ye Fei’s college entrance exam scores were high enough to get into one of the top three universities, Xu Huizhen forcibly changed her choice and restrained her locally. What did you do for her then?"

"When Xu Huizhen and Ye Ning continued to push her, one step at a time, all you did was remain silent on the sidelines. Then, quietly saying some words of pity to Ye Fei. But beyond those few shallow words of comfort, what else did you do?"
