“She’s your niece. The only daughter your younger sister was survived by. You’re so cold-blooded. Don’t you feel sorry for your sister?”
Ye Chuji pursed his lips. “Dad, Shuyun is also my sister.”
Ye Jianguo didn’t seem to buy that idea. He snorted, “Rongrong is your biological sister.”
“True.” That was a fact that Ye Chuji could not deny.
“But dad, who has always been the one fulfilling her filial duty all these years? Is it your Rongrong and your granddaughter? Or, Ye Shuyun and Lu Yi?” He narrowed his eyes. He felt rather sorry for Ye Shuyun.. After all, blood relations were still Ye Jianguo’s priority. All the things they have done for Ye Jianguo for the past years have been completely disregarded.
“Ha…” He found this ridiculous. “Rongrong left without a care in the world. Since then, mom had never gotten a good sleep until the day she died. During mom’s last breath, she was still thinking of Rongrong. Where was Rongrong when the family needed her? For the past years, Shuyun has always been the one taking care of The Ye family. When the Ye family was in trouble, Shuyun stood by the family. Who has been taking care of you and your grandchildren? Who gave her utmost to help the Ye family when we were in turmoil? Dad, do you think you’ve been fair to Shuyun? Does your conscience allow you to act on Xunxun, who’s still a little girl?”
“Does blood relation mean so much to you? How can you not be grateful for what Shuyun has done for you? If I were Shuyun, I would be so disappointed in you.”
Ye Chuji took a deep breath. “Now I have finally learned that Sun Yuhan is your everything. Save her, none of us matters to you. We are all useless to you, right? You want neither Shuyun to be your daughter, nor me to be your son. You also don’t want Xinyu.”
“Fine, fine, fine,” Ye Chuji said. “Dad, continue to only care for your granddaughter. One day, you’ll regret this.”
He finished his words, turned and walked away. He stopped in his tracks after a few steps.
“Dad, I’m going to the Lu residence. I’m going to visit Xunxun. You better pray that Xunxun will be alright. Otherwise, you should stop calling Shuyun your daughter. You should feel ashamed when Shuyun calls you father. You should also be abashed when Lu Yi addresses you as grandpa.”
Then, he strode away. He thought that it was a better idea to divide the family’s assets, so that he could lead his own life. Otherwise, the people he hated might be able to lay their hands on his hard-earned money.
Ye Jianguo felt violent rising in his chest. Ye Chuji’s words continued to stab Ye Jianguo’s heart and pain his chest.
Fine. Even my son wants to leave me. Rongrong is my biological daughter, Ye Chuji’s sister. My poor Yuhan is an orphan, yet they dislike her. Fine. Just leave my granddaughter and I alone. I can still afford to raise my granddaughter on my own!
If he insisted on going up the blind alley, it was difficult for someone else to convince him that he was wrong. No matter how many people told him that he was wrong, he would continue to think that he was the right one.
It might be his own perception. At the same time, he was not capable of turning back time.
Once Ye Xinyu learned that Xunxun was hit by his grandfather, he rushed to the hospital. Xunxun was lying silently in her mother’s arms. Her beautiful yet thin brows were furrowed. Meanwhile, her initially pink lips were dry and resembled a withered flower.
Ye Xinyu had an urge to cry. How long more is this family going to hurt Big Aunt? Even Little Xunxun was not spared from these ruthless abuse. She is only two years old! She’s so young!
How on earth could his grandfather lay his hands on such a small kid?
“It’s not your fault.” Ye Shuyun patted him on his shoulder as she shook her head.
“I always knew. You shouldn’t be the one to take the blame.”
“We’re just gonna let him go?”
Ye Xinyu clenched his fist. It has happened more than just once or twice. Is our family going to remain divided and unpeaceful only because of Sun Yuhan?
“What else can we do?” Ye Shuyun reverted the question back to Ye Xinyu. “Do you want to go back and hit your grandpa? Or, do you want to beat Sun Yuhan to death?
Ye Xinyu was stunned. He could never hit any of them.
Hitting Sun Yuhan was no different from hitting his own grandfather.
He took a few steps forward and knelt before Xunxun. Then, he grabbed her chubby hand. Xunxun looked so ill, unwilling to utter a word.
Ye Xinyu put on a smile that made him look even more sorrowful.
Xunxun blinked her big round eyes. Her eyes, which were covered by her eyelashes, were very pure. Staring into her eyes made Ye Xinyu, the adult, felt extremely guilty.
She poked Ye Xinyu’s cheek with her tiny finger before she put on a smile. Her eyes remained sparkling.
“Uncle, please don’t cry.” She cupped Ye Xinyu’s face with her little hands. She was still a young kid and did not know how to bear a grudge. However, it was her innocence that brought tears to Ye Xinyu’s eyes.
How could his grandpa hit an obedient girl like Xunxun? She is Brother Lu Yi’s daughter!
Xunxun turned to look at her mom, confused. Why is uncle not talking to me?
Yan Huan caressed her daughter’s cheeks. “Just like Xunxun having pain in your head, uncle is having pain in his eyes. Let uncle rest,okay?”
“Sure. ” Xunxun nodded before she nestled in her mother’s embrace. She did not throw a fit. She listened to her mother and never touched the bandage that was wrapped around her head.
When Lu Yi came back, Xunxun had already fallen asleep. The girl had been under the weather recently, perhaps because of the pain from her wound. She had not been feeling well, but was still well-behaved.
He approached her and gently stroked onto his daughter’s tiny cheeks. “Fortunately, she hasn’t lost any weight.” It was hard for Little Xunxun to gain weight. She would even lose weight from a flu, let alone an injury like this.
“Yes. She has been eating well lately. She is not picky with her food anymore and even started to eat meat.” Yan Huan walked over to Lu Yi and offered him a glass of milk. He received it and put the glass by his lips, all this while his eyes fixed on Yan Huan.
“Why? Do I have something on my face?” Yan Huan touched her face. Is my face dirty? Did I not wash my face properly?
“Nope.” Lu Yi finished the milk and left the glass on the table. Then, he sat down and tucked Xunxun in. “Su Muran has been discharged.”
