Chapter 11
Dealing with Huo Youcheng’s “blind dates” was the same, and marrying him was also the same.
But after seeing Huo Youcheng’s reluctance, he occasionally summoned the courage to want to end it all.
Although he had expressed this desire several times, he was scolded by his mother until he withdrew into himself and locked away that thought in a dark corner of his mind. Then, he bitterly tried to maintain this marriage devoid of love or warmth but filled with neglect.
However, this time, it seemed to have reached a point where it had to end.
Ye Zhi furrowed his brows and carefully reviewed the template for the divorce application form. Then, when no one was paying attention, he used the printer to print it out.
As he prepared to leave work, Ye Zhi took out his communicator and saw many unread messages and missed calls, all from his mother. Opening the message panel, Ye Zhi saw a lengthy voice message from his mother. Even if he didn’t listen, he knew what she would say.
Rarely, a sense of resistance surged within him. Without opening the voice message, Ye Zhi directly put the communicator into his bag.
Now, he had Huo Ran as a shield. Huo Ran was the best excuse, so even if he didn’t go back, his mother shouldn’t scold him as she used to.
Comforting himself in his mind, Ye Zhi walked out of the company’s door, only to see his mother’s figure.
Ye Wan, Ye Zhi’s mother, was almost an alpha female.
In fact, human babies could roughly analyze their future differentiation direction through their blood shortly after birth. Due to the advanced technology, this test had a 90% accuracy rate. When Ye Wan was born, she was also tested, and the result showed a 96% chance of differentiation into something other than beta.
At that time, Ye’s family was considered wealthy, and they were overjoyed with this result, already preparing to celebrate.
However, after her differentiation period passed, she actually only differentiated into a common beta.
With a 75% global probability of differentiation into beta, it was already a considerable chance. If it were anyone else, they might feel upset for a few days and then accept it. But Ye’s family had been eagerly anticipating it for so long, only to receive such a result. Not only did the older generation feel uneasy, but it also caused a great shock to Ye Wan herself.
She had always prided herself on being outstanding and extraordinary. Before her differentiation, she even revealed her analysis results to those around her. This blow was like a slap in the face for her. Her popularity was not good, and she naturally received some ridicule.
Feeling embarrassed, her personality became increasingly extreme and narrow-minded. The matter of differentiation became a wound that never healed in her life.
So, when she got married and had children, she cared deeply about her children’s attributes.
As a result, among the siblings in the Ye family, Ye Zhi, as a beta, was neither liked nor expected, while Ye Mu, who successfully differentiated, was extremely doted on and was the treasure of the entire Ye family.
Ye Wan was proud and arrogant. Even though she was nearly fifty years old, whether at home or going out, she always wore a full set of makeup and branded clothing, carrying a limited edition handbag. She was skilled in makeup, and her facial features didn’t show her age much. She looked like she was in her thirties, especially when she wore ten-centimeter high heels. When facing others, she had a high and mighty demeanor.
Standing so ostentatiously at the company’s entrance, if Ye Zhi had come out ten minutes earlier, he would have seen his coworkers’ strange looks and hushed discussions.
Ye Wan always liked being the center of attention. Knowing that people were talking about her didn’t bother her; instead, she held her head even higher. She waited with furrowed brows for quite a while, finally seeing the person she wanted to see.
The moment she saw her son, her brows furrowed even deeper involuntarily.
This son was born when she was twenty-two years old. As it was her first child, she naturally had high expectations. By then, they had already moved to the central city, surrounded by wealthy people from the upper class, most of whom she had made friends with. Although others didn’t show any signs of suspicion towards her, she felt inferior because of her beta attribute. Therefore, she always tried to please others and was generous with her spending. After becoming pregnant, as long as someone said her future child would differentiate into her, she would be happy for a long time.
However, things didn’t go as planned. After Ye Zhi’s first blood test, the result showed a 99% chance of differentiation into beta.
If there was still a possibility with a 4% chance, then there was absolutely no possibility with only 1%.
Ye Wan was disappointed. She was even postpartum depression, reaching the point of disgust when she saw this child. Ye Zhi didn’t look attractive enough, and apart from slightly fairer skin, he didn’t inherit any of her facial features. Therefore, the more she looked, the less she liked him, and she rarely got close to him since he was little.
After giving birth to her second son and learning that he had a high chance of differentiation, Ye Zhi’s situation became more and more difficult.
