Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart-Chapter 707

Chapter 707: Ye Sheng’s Apology

*************

CHAPTER 707

His eyes dimmed, his pain resurfacing.

“How about me? How you forgot your son and the love you were to show just to chase after carnal pleasures?”

“Ye Cheng I am sorry.”

“Sorry does not cut it, dad. You did those things for years. Not once did you think properly. My mother is not your toy so you know. She is a human being,” he reminded his father.

Ye Sheng who was feeling absolutely sorry for all his actions lowered his head in shame.

.....

“And now it must hurt her more to know you cheated on her even before I was born.” his lips parted in disbelief, releasing a sad scoff. “Have you no heart?”

He dropped his legs and lowered his head further. His eyes stung just watching the look of disgust overshadow Ye Cheng’s face. The way the anger rose in his eyes and his chest fell... “I am so sorry.”

“Sorry and forgiveness do not cut it. You had your fun. Now it is too late to want to build that family you ruined by yourself again.”

“Ye Cheng,” his voice broke. “Please.”

“Please what? You want us to go to how we were all loving and jovial? Hahhaa, can you not see that the consequences of your actions are a life reminder? Mother cannot go back to you and I think I grew up well surviving with your care, so I do not need it.”

“Ye Cheng.”

“Father, this is the plain truth. I would not want you hurting my mother again. She has gone through her own fair share of hurt. Please, do not make her relive incidents she wished did not happen, again.”

“Please.” He fell from his seat and went down on his knees before Ye Cheng, shocking the latter with his performance. “I know I was wrong and although the guilt ate me, I felt ignoring you all would be best. I just could not face you again.”

“Is that so? Because when you tried taking control of my life, it did not seem to me as though you wished to let us go and be free of you. Or have you forgotten that your daughter-in-law, you opposed my marriage to her?”

“I know. I was short-sighted in a lot of things. I want another chance.”

“You had your chances father. Why don’t you see that?” He shook his head and reached up with his hand to massage his temples. “This is tiring, please. Get up. Do not curse me with that.”

“No. Not until you can forgive me. I would not go anywhere.”

“You do not understand. You can kneel here from now till forever, it would not change my heart. I can only forgive you if my mother wills it. I suffered, yes bit I am a man, it only made me stronger but she... You were all she had.”

‘But...”

“No. Let me talk.” Ye Cheng stood up, his gaze turned even cold and deadly as thoughts of the past spiralled in his mind. “You know the most amusing yet annoying part of this whole thing?” Ye Sheng shook his head at his son.

“It is the fact that you did not bother hiding your flings. Not only did you dishonor my mother, you rubbed it in her face, embarrassing her. That is what ic annot forgive.”

The thundering of his voice as he said the last sentence made Ye Sheng lose hope completely.

“Mother may not voice things out but trust me, I know her too well. She since learnt to bottle things up pertaining to you. It wasn’t because she was not hurt but she hurt too much and she felt that hiding it was better while she ached badly.”

“I know I have done so much wrong but must you rub it in?”

A wry smile twisted hi slips. All he could do at the moment was to shake his head ta his father.

“I wish I had done that sooner. Perhaps, just maybe you would have come to your senses sooner. If I do not do this, how best would you learn? Instead you may run after the next thing in short skirts or pants.”

His smile twinkled some more. “Get up. There is a board meeting today. The last thing I want is having someone walk in here and see this.”

“Ye Cheng. Please, I know asking for another chance to love you both is late. However, please forgive this old man. Your forgiveness is good enough for me.”

“So, you can have peace of mind? Hmm, I would not be wicked and tell you to cut off all ties you have with Hao Huizhong and the other children because I am not wicked.”

“I do not have any other child save y=for yourself and he and I did not even know.”

“Yes. It shows just how much you care for your women. Anyway, that same son of yours readily worked with your enemy to kill me and take your company, do you see now why so many reasons play against my forgiving you?”

“I know. And I know I am not worthy. I would ensure no harm come to you and your mother.”

‘I have the capability to protect her. Bother about your illegitimate son. Because if he crosses my path one more time, I would ensure his doom.”

“Ye Cheng...” His dark gaze narrowed further, proving to his father he was very much serious.

“Fine. I would make it easier for you. Win mother’s heart to forgiveness, then my forgiveness is guaranteed. Until then, please refrain from seeing me, father.”

“He walked away from his desk and headed for his door. On getting there, he turned on the doorknob and opened it, stepping to the side. “Please, I have things I need to do, father. I need you to take your leave now.”

With the tone ye Cheng had about him and the air of anger, Ye Sheng knew he should not push his luck too much. It was better to take things, one step at a time.

Standing up, he picked up his things and walked over to where his son stood. “I would see you soon.”

With that, he walked away, with his head lowered. Ye Cheng did not bother to see him off and shut his door with a loud bang.

His right hand flew to his hair instantly. He had been in this situation longer than he had planned or expected. He massaged his temples gently and let out a heavy sigh.

The honest truth, seeing his father that way broke his heart but when he recalled everything that he did, he did not even have the conscience to not be angry.

He deserved everything and anything that came his way.

He would have not been repentant had he not been blackmailed by Chairman Zhang and he lost things. With that in play, how could he believe that he had changed all of a sudden?

Hmm, there was no telling.

His mind flashed back to the point where he had fallen on his knees in apology. “Damn that old man! He played his card well.”
