Chapter 332 – “Oh, that will not be necessary lah.” (2)

As for the fact that she had given birth to Zhang Yuanjia after being pregnant with him for 10 months, Yan Shuyu actually didn’t have too much problems accepting that. As much as she had always referred to him as her “instant son”, she had been thinking of him as her real son for a while now. Confronting Ye Rongchen, however, reshaped her perspective on things a lot.

Yan Shuyu had always thought of Zhang XiaoLu was the old lover of original owner and she accepted his re-appearance as a bystander and was happy about it. She thought that now that Zhang Yuanjia has his own father, their odds of avoiding their fates in the original novel was even better. She was, however, unable to forgive him if she was to look at this from the perspective of Zhang Yuanjia’s birth mother.

Yan Shuyu could see where Ye Rongchen was coming from. It sure sheer luck that he had survived. His family had saved him in the very last minute and given him a second chance. From where he stood, he should be appreciative of them. That, nevertheless, did not mean that she could forget about what had happened to her and her son in the original novel.

Naturally, she understood that the stepmother and her son brought their fate upon themselves. They had unrealistic expectations and greed. Zhang Yuanjia was envious of the male lead ever since he was a child. He was envious that Zhou Yi had a father from the very beginning. After he had grown up, he was envious that Zhou Yi was the heir of the Zhou’s Corporation and was born standing on the top of the food chain. As such, he was determined to fight over everything with the male lead.

But, what if he was to have what the male lead had from the very beginning too? Had Ye Rongchen returned like he did right now, he would have father and his father’s company that would go to him as well. Would he still need to go above and beyond to fight over what was the male lead’s and finally meeting his tragic end?

Yan Shuyu couldn’t get over the original story plotline. It was difficult for her not to think wondered that, had she not lost her memories and went to work over at Shine House; and that she the video of her playing the piano did not become popular and allowed for Ye Rongchen to notice her, would he, much like in the original novel, never showed up again to the very end?

Perhaps, Ye Rongchen was that close to never recalling any of these in this lifetime. He would be a happy Second Generation Official. He would take over his family business in the future and be a winner in life. He would also find a nice girl that was of his status, get married and have children with her and live out his happy life with ever realizing that he had another son somewhere out there – Yan Shuyu knew that she was being extremely double standard right now. She was already planning on accepting the boss’s proposal but was still upset when she thought about this.

She thought long and hard and, finally, looking calmly at Ye Rongchen who was looking at her with a very concerned look and said, “Then let me tell you another secret. One that you have no idea about…

“I have also read this novel in my previous life. It was a classic domineering CEO novel in which the male lead started out as a CEO from a prestigious family from the very beginning. What left me with the most last impression, though, was not the male lead, but his stepmother in his memories. The male lead’s stepmother married his father with her son from her previous marriage when he was around 6 or 7 years old. His stepbrother was barely a year older than him but he was a scheming one. He knew to ostracize him ever since he was a child and would set him up in front of his father. Bit by bit, the stepbrother gained his father’s trust and fondness. To a point that even outsiders thought they were half-brothers from the same father. Both of them joined the father’s company when they grew up and began the battle over succeeding the company… All of these were already in the past at the beginning of the book. The male lead had already gained control of the company. The stepbrother, on the other hand, had a big plan when he started to lose the battle and wanted to plan the death of the male lead in a car accident. Lo and behold, he ended up in the car that had been altered and died a traumatic death. The stepmother, as his accomplice, went to jail for her crime as well.

“The name of the stepmother was never mentioned but the male lead’s stepbrother’s name was mentioned a few times. It was Zhang Yuanjia. And the male lead was Zhou Yi.”
