"Am I sure she wouldn't like it? I'm positive. I just don't understand why you drove her out? Were you afraid that she would take control of the company as soon as she found out?" Brian asked, smiling ironically while he squinted at Leo. He was wondering how his father would explain it to him.
"You should ask your mom about it, who wouldn't let her stay. I believe she will give you a satisfactory answer," Leo said, looking at Yakira with loathing. How could he have turned a blind eye to that if she hadn't complained about her day after day?
"Why is it my fault? Besides, she was the one who was willing to leave. I never meant to kick her out of the house," Yakira said. She would never admit that she couldn't keep Daisy around Brian. After all, he already had a problem with her. If he knew about it, then he would surely hate her, despite the fact that he was her son.
"How could she do something like that if you didn't pamper her?" Brian smiled coldly. Was it because Daisy wasn't his daughter? So he treated her cruelly. But Mary wasn't his daughter either. Why he could stand Mary but not be tolerant of Daisy?
Are you questioning me now? Keep in mind that I'm your father," Leo said. He almost lost it, when pushed by his son. He liked to think of himself as a calm man, but he had his limits.
"No. I was just telling the truth. Now that it's done and over with, why are you being concerned about what I said?" Brian said. It was obvious that he was challenging his father on purpose. Only he knew why. "Brian, how could you speak to your father like that? Leo, don't take it to heart. He's just talking nonsense," Yakira said. No matter how much Brian disliked her, he was still her son. So she couldn't stay calm when her son deliberately annoyed Leo. After all, Ouyang Foreign Trade came with a lot of benefits. She couldn't let Daisy take over the company. Otherwise, all her efforts over the years would end in nothing.
"You taught your son well. Hah! Whether you pissed me off on purpose or not, I still insist that you go to the company now that you've graduated. You spend your days mostly loafing around. What good is studying if you don't use it for anything?" Leo snorted. He glared at Yakira, then stood up and walked out.
"Brian, take your father's advice! It'll be good for you to learn new things," Yakira said and looked at Leo with fluttering eyes. She was exhausted because of the thing with Paul. So she didn't want something unexpected to happen.
"You mean it will be good for you! If you want me to take over Ouyang Foreign Trade, sorry, I won't satisfy your ambitions. If you want it, just talk to Dad in person. It will not be difficult for you to bring him back to his obedient attitude. You did it once already."
As a matter of fact, he didn't care about Ouyang Foreign Trade. When he was abroad in the past few years, was he content to be a nerd? He was not that stupid. He had already established a company with friends as business partners. Although it was difficult in the beginning, it was going well now. He was confident that he would develop a cross board company which would be as great as FX International Group, although his company couldn't compare with even Ouyang Foreign Trade right now.
"Mom, see? Like dad said, you spoiled him, so he shows no respect to his elders," Mary said. Brian was the stumbling block here. She wondered if he played tricks privately, vying for power, even though he said he didn't care about Ouyang Foreign Trade. So she thought she'd better be on her guard against him.
"I show no respect to my elders? Mary, if I did, do you think you could sit there peacefully? Don't try to offend me. You can't afford to pay for it," Brian said. He was so smart that he could guess what Mary was thinking. His goal was not Ouyang Foreign Trade, so he just let her be. But it didn't mean he would let her boss him around.
Mom, just look at him. He even threatened me in front of other people. Even worse, he does that for the bad girl Daisy every time," Mary said. She dared not mention Daisy as "a bitch" again based on the last experience, fearing that Brian would freak out again. After all, "the loss outweighs the gain."
"Shut up. Get to work now. Didn't you see your father leave?" Yakira had been in a mess already even if Mary wasn't involved in it. So she didn't have time to take Mary's temper tantrum seriously.
"I..." Mary wanted to retort, but Brian was there, so she chose to stamp her feet and went to work angry, no matter how reluctant she was.
"Don't expect to teach me anything, because you don't have the qualifications. If you want to interact with me, please act like a mother," Brian said. He knew it was immoral, but it was true that he got no mother's love from her.
In your heart, who has the qualifications then? What does it mean to you? What would make you feel like you have a mother? Don't even tell me Daisy fits that role! Do you think you could have lived a comfortable life abroad without me? It is said that "parents do nothing wrong". If I didn't act like a mother, did you act like a son?"
Yakira said, and became a bit emotional. She accepted less education and didn't know how to teach her children, so her children looked down upon her and yelled at her. But was it her fault? Was she supposed to die because she fought for a better life for them? Finally, they didn't even take her seriously.
I admit I made a mistake, so I apologise sincerely. But dont think you can direct the course of my life, because you can't control me, Brian said with acold eyes on her. Then he turned on his heel and walked upstairs. He didn't want to stay there arguing with her anymore. She was right. As a son, it wasn't proper for him to dictate to her.
Yakira, throw the plates in front of her with resentment. What a life I'm living! She thought it was okay she wasn't the woman that her husband loved. But at the time, her treasured son even didn't take her seriously. How could she keep living this terrible life? Had the of reconing come for her?
