"Two years ago," Ye Rui said.
Ye Yan continued to ask, "Why did you work at the club? As a member of the Ye Family, working in that kind of place, you make outsiders look down on us. Where do we put our face? Don't we give you living expenses every month? Why still work?"
Ye Rui faltered, then simply bowed his head and said no more.
Ye Yan hated this sort of obsequious behavior the most, especially when it was his son displaying it.
"Didn't you hear me asking you a question?"
Ye Rui hung his head even lower, "I haven't had living expenses for a year."
He was not lying to him; as his illegitimate son, how could Xiang Zhen truly be generous enough to accommodate him? With Ye Yan often away from home, she naturally didn't need to show any restraint, first reducing his living expenses, and then eventually cutting them off entirely.
But he didn't care about these things; he had his own hands and feet and could get by very well on his own.
