The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 564 - 561: I Want Everyone by My Side to be Happy
"Will you believe me?" Dong Xiaoyou said slowly with a smile. "Actually, I never intended to hurt anyone. I just want everyone around me to be happy."
"Dong Xiaoyou, I really do believe you. You know I’ve always been very good to you, and I like you so much. I like Xiao Mei too. Please believe me, I will definitely find a way to solve your family’s issues," Wen Yajun said quickly, smiling at Dong Xiaoyou.
"Thank you, Wen Yajun. I’m really touched! I don’t even know what to say. Honestly, I’m truly grateful to you. Do you believe me?" Dong Xiaoyou said, looking at Wen Yajun.
At that moment, her heart was full of emotion because she felt that Wen Yajun was truly a good man. Indeed, she also truly wanted to build a life with this good man. But because some of her own problems hadn’t been resolved yet, she felt she couldn’t be with him. Besides, Xiao Mei wasn’t her biological daughter with Wen Yajun. However, Wen Yajun genuinely took great care of Xiao Mei. He not only helped pick Xiao Mei up from kindergarten but was also always eager to buy her any toy she wanted. More than that, he often took her to the movies, amusement parks, and the zoo. She felt Wen Yajun was like a father to Xiao Mei, and Xiao Mei had also grown very fond of him. It was just that Xiao Mei sometimes still called Wen Yajun "Brother Jun." In fact, if she were to marry Wen Yajun, Xiao Mei would have to call him "Dad." She wondered if Xiao Mei would be able to adapt to this change. Regardless, she knew she had to resolve her own problems first.
This concerned her biological father, Yu Hanxi. He still called sometimes to ask her out, and she never knew how to respond. Looking back, she hadn’t known Yu Hanxi had a family when she first fell in love with him. But when the truth finally came out, she discovered Yu Hanxi already had a wife. In that moment, she felt utterly deceived. But what could she do? Now, Yu Hanxi was demanding her daughter, practically trying to take custody, leaving her feeling cornered. If she had known back then that Yu Hanxi was only with her because he wanted a child, how could she ever have gotten involved with him? The current situation was truly unbearable; Yu Hanxi was relentlessly trying to take his daughter, making her feel completely trapped, like riding a tiger she couldn’t get off. Even though Yu Hanxi’s family was well-off and he was a successful builder, she would absolutely not hand her daughter over to him, no matter what. Her daughter was used to living with her and wouldn’t adapt to being raised by someone she considered a stranger. To Xiao Mei, Yu Hanxi was essentially a stranger, regardless of him being her biological father. Xiao Mei had no real feelings for him, so Dong Xiaoyou would never agree to give her daughter to Yu Hanxi.
"I do believe you. I really trust you, Dong Xiaoyou, and you should trust me too. Deep down, even though you haven’t said the words, I know I’m in your heart, and that you’ve accepted me. As for Xiao Mei, I’ll do my best to be a good father, to make her accept me from the bottom of her heart, so she can truly call me ’Dad’," Wen Yajun said, looking at Dong Xiaoyou. In that moment, it felt as if no other trouble in the world mattered; Dong Xiaoyou was the most important woman in his life.
Just then, there was another knock on the door. Dong Xiaoyou glanced towards it. Wen Yajun nodded at her, then walked over and opened it. Unsurprisingly, it was Dong Xiaoyou’s brother, Dong Jiahao. He wasn’t alone; a woman was by his side.
When Wen Yajun saw Dong Jiahao, his brow furrowed. He glanced at the woman Dong Jiahao had his arm around and asked curtly, "What are you doing bringing her here?"
"’Hey, don’t be like that! You’re scaring my girlfriend,’ Dong Jiahao snapped at Wen Yajun, annoyed. ’Besides, who are you to act this way? You’re not part of this family. What right do you have to be in my sister’s place? Get out! Leave right now!’"
How could he stand Wen Yajun treating his girlfriend so harshly right in front of him? So what if he was close to his sister? They weren’t even married yet! Even if they were, Wen Yajun had no right to act like a domineering brother-in-law and lecture people. Lecturing people, what was that all about?
Dong Xiaoyou looked towards the door and saw Dong Jiahao and Mu Yuyan. To be honest, she didn’t have a good feeling about this girl at all. Her brother had mentioned he had a girlfriend, Mu Yuyan, supposedly a young lady from a wealthy family that had fallen on hard times. Fine, so she’d fallen from grace. But why should their family have to pay off her debts? What kind of logic was that? It turned out Dong Jiahao hadn’t actually incurred loan shark debts himself; he wanted to help this girl, Mu Yuyan. Her father’s company apparently owed a massive amount of money to someone, and the whole situation was becoming a tangled mess, giving Dong Xiaoyou a headache. She had told her brother to break up with the girl, but he flatly refused. She knew her brother was keeping this from Wen Yajun.
"’Alright, stop arguing. Both of you, come in,’ Dong Xiaoyou said to Dong Jiahao and Mu Yuyan."
Mu Yuyan felt a little shy looking at Dong Xiaoyou. This was Dong Jiahao’s sister, someone she had heard about. Yet, at this moment, she felt a distinct distance. She was very afraid Dong Xiaoyou wouldn’t accept her. To be frank, she wasn’t with Dong Jiahao for his money. If it were just about money, there were many wealthy men out there. Why hadn’t she chosen one of them? She had chosen Dong Jiahao because he genuinely treated her well, and she truly liked him. She felt he was the most important man in her life, and that was why she had chosen him.
"’Wen Yajun, if there’s nothing else, perhaps you should head back first. I can handle things here,’ Dong Xiaoyou said to him."
Wen Yajun nodded without another word. He glanced at Dong Jiahao and Mu Yuyan. To be honest, he didn’t approve of Dong Jiahao’s relationship with this girl either. For some reason, she gave him a very uncomfortable feeling. It was after Dong Jiahao got involved with this girl that he ended up owing those loan shark debts. Honestly, whatever the initial reason, why couldn’t this girl try to persuade Dong Jiahao against it? Why couldn’t she help him out of such a precarious situation? Instead, had she actually let him incur those debts through gambling?
