He glared at her, roaring, “Why? Why are you helping him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grant was like a wounded wolf, helplessly rejecting everyone’s aid, unaware that he was quietly hurting the one who truly loved him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ellie looked at Grant, tears in her eyes. “Grant, are you really this kind of man?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you talking about?” Grant asked, confused. Seeing Ellie’s tears, he grew flustered. “I don’t know what you mean. Don’t listen to him—he’s just a child, he understands nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand,” Ye Nan smiled. “I know what Ellie means. The one who doesn’t understand is you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any woman, when facing her lover, tends to overlook his flaws and magnify his strengths—even ignore them. What Ye Nan did was expose Grant’s flaws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Women are emotional creatures who crave beauty; they never like someone prone to jealousy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Nan’s words were slowly luring Grant to reveal his true nature. He disliked children because they wasted money; Ye Nan’s appearance shattered his long-held beliefs—a boy of just eleven was already the CEO of a major corporation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with such a shock to his worldview, Grant either had to accept it or viciously denounce it. This impoverished scholar, provoked by Ye Nan, developed a strong aversion to him and instinctively chose furious denunciation. Step by step, under Ye Nan’s provocation, Grant lost all his composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Ellie, who had viewed Grant as flawless, seeing him so different from her idealized image left her bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re a tall, upright man. I love how focused you are when you work. I cherished the days when we rejoiced together over new fossil discoveries, or fretted over missing data.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In my mind, you hated children because they were messy and wasted money. You said you didn’t like them and never wanted any.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I need them. I’m a woman—children are my support, besides my husband. Yet when I asked you, you always dodged and changed the subject.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ellie stared at Grant, tears streaming down her face, releasing all the accumulated Weiqu  of recent days. Each Shitan , each disappointment—so much resentment had built up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, Ye, it seems your plan failed. Look, their bond is still deep. All Grant needs to do is apologize, and they’ll make up.” Hammond smiled at Ye Nan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had figured it out: Ye Nan admired Ellie greatly—perhaps even loved her—which was why he was stirring up trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh, love—it drives people to life and death. Even a business genius like him can’t escape it. He’s still too young.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hammond chuckled inwardly. He had no real friendship with Grant—only once supported his research, with a mere fifty thousand dollars. But Ye Nan was the one he needed to rely on; Ye Nan’s ICQ company was the internet’s dominant force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With ICQ’s backing, his Jurassic Park would become even more perfect, even expand—buying up all nearby islands. He could then continue refining his technology, pushing dinosaur creation to new heights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weighing both sides, Hammond unhesitatingly abandoned Grant and chose to aid Ye Nan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Nan ignored Hammond and pointed at Grant. “You’re not a man. You can’t even protect your own woman. You don’t deserve to be called a man.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did you say?” Grant’s face flushed crimson as he glared at Ye Nan. The romantic atmosphere Ellie had built vanished in an instant, leaving only her disappointed expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I say you’re not a man—you have no responsibility,” Ye Nan pointed at Ellie, speaking slowly and clearly. “Ellie is a woman. For a woman, children are her support. Yet you, because of your personal preferences, refuse to have any—cruelly crushing Ellie’s hope. Tell me, are you even a man?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, Ye Nan’s words would have been medicine. But at this moment, they became a fuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You little brat, what do you know? Kids are dirty, wasteful, and make already tight budgets even tighter. Our research needs funding—we can’t sacrifice it for a child!” Grant shouted, as if Ye Nan were truly clueless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But was Ye Nan really clueless? He was a bright young man from the twenty-first century—how could he be ignorant?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True, Grant’s words held merit. In America and Europe, many families feared that having children would worsen their already strained finances, so they chose not to have any.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their eyes, as long as they themselves were fine, there was no need for children. Kids were burdens; after all, the federal government would support them in old age, so they needn’t worry about being abandoned. This stood in stark contrast to Chinese values.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how could such words be spoken in front of a woman—especially one who loved him and hoped to bear his child?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ye Nan had predicted, the moment Grant spoke, Ellie’s disappointment deepened visibly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she understood, though she could empathize, when faced with it directly, she still felt a crushing weight in her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her expression, Ye Nan knew he only needed to press a little harder to make Ellie completely lose faith in Grant. But fate was unkind—just as Ye Nan and Grant were locked in conflict, a sudden hurricane swept in.\u003C\u002Fp>",937,"2026-06-21T03:32:50.781Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","44905cf62249d4d553d2a8e9364bf5ace7602e24935885eb42e8f2d6ec5e3185","arrival-in-1994-chapter-20","arrival-in-1994-chapter-18",643,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Farrival-in-1994-cover.jpg"]
