Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty Chapter 305 - Spoiling Uncle

Although He Susu left the room with a placid look, inwardly she had some heavy feelings. Zhou Ning's words had struck where it hurt. The fact that she missed out on precious years of her son could not be disregarded. And it was the cruel reality of life.
"Su," Zhu Chen placed his hands on her shoulders and looked at her with a sad smile on his face. "If we'll let her words get to us, we'll be letting her win. Don't let her guilt trip you in this way."
He Susu pressed her lips tightly before saying, "But Chen, she is right. If I had not married you and if Jie had not been our son then he really could have lived the life that people would be envious of." Her voice choked up a bit as she added, "Also, as a mother, I'm a failure. I didn't even get to hold my son or hear his first word." Tears streamed down her face and shoulders shook lightly as she sobbed silently.
"Mom," Ye Jie had been listening to her blaming herself at the side. He hugged her small frame tightly as he tried to cheer her up, "Stop crying. There is no use in blaming yourself. The only mistake in your life was being nice to someone who didn't deserve your kindness at all."
He Susu tilted her face a bit to look up at Ye Jie as she said, "But I really hate myself for not being able to hold your hand when you took your first step. That'll be my biggest regret and it will haunt me for life."
Ye Jie didn't know what to say anymore. Her words weren't wrong. They couldn't possibly turn back the time. It's true when people say, lost people and lost moments never come back. He could only sigh heavily at their lost time.
"Actually there is a way to recover those lost moments." Ye Jie and He Susu both turned to look at Ye Jun who had just chimed in to offer his 'wise-words.'
"How?" Before Ye Jie could reprimand him, He Susu asked.
"It's very simple. Ask bro to work hard." Everyone in the room frowned as they gave him an inquisitive look.
"Work hard? How is this working hard related to our topic of discussion?" Ye Jie gave Ye Jun a glare for spouting nonsense at such a time.
"Oho, bro... You're not understanding my point."
"Why don't you make me understand then?" Ye Jie retorted.
"Aiyoh, if you won't work hard how will a little Jie or little Mey come to this world? Obviously, you have to work hard for that to happen. That way Auntie here won't be missing anything since your child will definitely be a reflection of you." With his 'wise-words' Ye Jun managed to leave everyone dumbfounded.
As the moment of dumbfoundedness passed, bouts of laughter prevailed in the room. He Susu sniffled softly and said, "I like that idea." She turned to Ye Jie to say, "Work hard son!" She even patted his shoulder to encourage him leaving him speechless.
All of them left the police station together and as they reached the parking lot, Father Ye paced up to Ye Jie. "Da..." Ye Jie was going to address him as 'dad' but stopped himself in time. He didn't know how to call Ye Kang anymore. He knew that Zhou Ning might not have loved him like a mother but this man always treated him as his eldest son.
"If it's not too much awkward for you, I'd like you to call me dad like you used to do." Ye Jie was surprised to hear that. "I'm sorry for not knowing my own wife after spending decades with her." He suddenly looked fatigued as if his years of tiredness had caught up to him in just a single day.
"Dad, you don't have to say sorry to me. If it wasn't for your love and care, life really would have been tough. But I always had your support. And I'm thankful for that." Ye Jie couldn't forget that he still owed a lot to Father Ye.
Most importantly, if it wasn't for Father Ye who knew how long would it take for him to actually meet Xu Mey. The biggest thing he owed Father Ye was his marriage. Because of him, Jie didn't have to do anything to find his perfect life partner.
Father Ye patted Jie's shoulder with a bitter smile before he shifted his gaze to Zhu Chen. "Mr. Zhu, you're really lucky." Although Zhu Chen didn't get the underlying meaning of his remark, he still gave a nod of acknowledgment.
Ye Jun helped his father to the car before walking back to Jie. "Are you okay, little brother?" He asked Ye Jun straightforwardly.
"Honestly, bro I'm not okay. Knowing this side of my own mother is really hurtful. But as long as you're willing to call me little brother, your Jun can cope with anything." Seeing Ye Jun's resolve Jie gave him a bro hug.
"You'll always be my little brother."
"Well, obviously I'll have to be your little brother after all our little Mey and Little Jie needs a spoiling uncle as well. Ouch!" Jie had slapped his back for turning everything into a joke. But he knew it was Ye Jun's way of hiding his pain.
"Take care of dad. You are all he has now." Jie advised Ye Jun sternly.
"I will..." Ye Jun promised and went to take his seat behind the wheel.
Jie stood by the road and watched their car disappear before turning to his own car where his parents were waiting for him. Seeing his mother leaning on his father's shoulder, Jie felt pleased but his heart reminded him that his own other half had been missing from his side from the morning and until now, she didn't even call to check up on him.
'What kind of schemes are keeping her busy now?' He wondered to himself and shook his head lightly before sitting in the car.
