Ye Qiu stopped speaking. Indeed, his parents don't owe him anything; they gave him life and raised him. But Ye Qing owes him. In their previous life, because of their excessive favoritism towards Ye Qing, his efforts and achievements were all taken away by her. Who should he demand repayment for this cause and effect?
He no longer wants to argue these matters. Those things Ye Qing took from him in their past life, those wasted times—he'll just take them as repaying his parents for raising him.
In this life, he will still repay his parents for their upbringing, but he won't do it in the way of sacrificing for Ye Qing. He refuses to live in Ye Qing's shadow any longer.
"I really can't tell who you take after. Just a couple of words and you're upset. We're doing this for your own good; how could family possibly harm you?"
