Chapter 100 I Don't Want You Anymore
After Yu Zhiyi realized this, she stopped paying attention to Yu Jiaojiao's little tricks.
"But Yu Zixuan, what makes you think I'll forgive you after you've repeatedly slandered me and helped Yu Jiaojiao bully me? There's always a price to pay for wrongdoing, isn't there?"
"From the moment you threw away the amulet and the defensive bracelet, smashed the pillow I had drawn with the spirit-gathering talisman, and repeatedly sided with Yu Jiaojiao to curse me and target me... I stopped wanting you."
"A mistake is a mistake. Any excuse is just sophistry. Don't even think about making amends, because the damage has already been done and cannot be undone! These are the words you said back then."
These words were spoken by Yu Zixuan the year he regained his senses, when Yu Jiaojiao deliberately pretended to push him on the road he passed every day in order to hurt Yu Zhiyi's heart.
After Yu Zixuan helped Yu Jiaojiao up, he flew into a rage and cursed Yu Zhiyi for being vicious.
At that time, Yu Zhiyi still had a glimmer of hope for him. If it were anyone else in the Yu family who had cursed her like that, she would have tolerated it. But since it was him, she couldn't help but argue back.
"The truth will be clear once investigated. Why are you siding with her without even checking the facts? Does doing one wrong thing mean I have to be nailed to the pillar of shame?"
"Besides, what did I do wrong?! I was just a newborn baby then, there was nothing I could do!"
Yu Zixuan coldly replied, "So what? Even if you did nothing, the damage has still been done, and you are not innocent."
Now, she returns these words to Yu Zixuan: "Although forgetting the past is not your fault, the damage has been done, and you are not innocent."
"So don't bother me anymore in the future."
With a flick of her long sleeves, Yu Zixuan felt as if a gust of wind had swept past him, and he unconsciously staggered a few steps to the side.
When he regained his balance and looked up, he found that Yu Zhiyi had already walked more than twenty meters away.
He collapsed to his knees, groaning, "Sister Yi, please don't abandon me. I really know I was wrong..."
When Yu Zhiyi returned to the Du residence, her emotions had calmed down.
From this day forward, she has no further connection with the Yu family.
The Yu family's demotion to commoners was something they themselves won.
She could no longer plan or scheme for them.
Whether Yu Zixuan came to ask for forgiveness today because he temporarily awakened his memories, or to play the emotional card and get her to help the Yu family, she will not agree.
Some things, once broken, are broken forever.
A broken mirror is hard to mend, let alone one that was already broken and damaged.
In the afternoon, the butler came to report that someone had delivered an invitation.
Yu Zhiyi doesn't have many friends in the capital. Besides the Yu family and the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, only Hongluan would look for her.
She guessed correctly; the invitation was indeed sent by Hongluan.
However, Hongluan did not invite her to Jinxiufang, but to Yiluan Charity.
Yu Zhiyi composed herself, changed into ordinary clothes, and took Li Rou out on the street.
Yi Luan Charity is located on Changping Street.
This street is not as bustling as Lin'an Street, where the imperial palace is located, but it still has a considerable flow of people.
However, Yi Luan Charity's shop is located at the end of the street, and the shop is not big. Although it has two floors, it still looks shabby compared to the shops further inside.
However, that's just the appearance.
Once inside the store, you'll discover a hidden gem.
The first-floor lobby is 20 square meters, and there is a tall counter right at the entrance.
The counter was custom-made and is different from ordinary counters nowadays. On the front side facing the entrance, the four characters "Yi Luan Charity" are prominently displayed.
To the left of the counter is a separate area, with a huge octagonal table that can accommodate three people writing at the same time on each side.
The eight-immortal table has twelve drawers at the bottom, one for each person.
Behind the counter stood a screen that led directly to the second floor, painted with traditional Chinese ink landscape paintings.
Behind the screen is a separate "customer area".
Hongluan said that if other people also want to donate to charity, this customer area is used to entertain guests.
Normally, the customer area is where she and Hongluan discuss matters and reconcile accounts.
Yu Zhiyi walked around the screen and saw that Hongluan had already arrived and was nestled on the mahogany "sofa" eating snacks.
"You've arrived?"
Hongluan quickly finished the pastry in her mouth and then drank a large gulp of tea.
Hongluan is beautiful, with a pair of charming fox eyes, but her rough movements greatly diminish the allure of her appearance, making her more approachable.
She could tell at a glance that Yu Zhiyi was in a bad mood, and frowned: "Did something happen?"
Yu Zhiyi shook her head: "It's nothing."
She was a little puzzled. She usually had a blank expression, so how did Hongluan see through her expressionless face to tell that she was in a bad mood?
Seeing that she was unwilling to say more, Hongluan did not press for details, but pushed the two booklets over: "Here, the one on the left is our employee information, but they are all out on business right now, and two others are checking the things in the warehouse in the backyard."
"The document on the right lists the people who need help and the solutions offered to them."
Yu Zhiyi first picked up the booklet on the left. She saw that the booklet listed about ten names after the sign-in, based on the importance of each person's identity.
The person in charge was named Wu Shan, and he was in charge of the overall situation.
Below Wu Mountain was an accountant named Li Pingle, who was in charge of verifying accounts and distributing funds.
The person in charge of coordinating the investigation of those in need of assistance was named Li Zhong, the person in charge of arranging the assistance was named Yang Xuetong, and the rest were the most ordinary staff members, roughly divided into two parts, one part under the management of Li Zhong and the other part under the management of Yang Xuetong.
Excluding Yu Zhiyi and Hongluan, there are twelve people in the organization.
Hongluan said, "I've never done this before, so we're completely clueless at the beginning and have to figure it out step by step."
"But don't worry, I've already spoken with Aunt Hong. We won't be taking any more orders in the near future. Even if I finish the clothes I have on hand, I'll reduce the number of clothes I make in the future, so I can save my time and energy. I'm determined not to let our charity work fall apart."
Yu Zhiyi said with some concern, "Wouldn't this be a bit inappropriate? Isn't your ambition to achieve something so that your father can see your abilities?"
Hongluan raised a brow with her fox-like eyes: "Am I not doing enough for you?"
Yu Zhiyi was speechless.
Yes, Hongluan has done a good enough job.
Other embroiderers need several years or even more than a decade of experience to become top-notch embroiderers.
But in just one year, she not only became famous in the capital, but also became the top gold medal embroiderer of Jinxiufang.
In fact, her fame surpasses that of the other four.
If this doesn't count as ability, then what does?
Hongluan laughed: "I want my father to see my abilities, not to be a full-time embroiderer. I have a feeling that if our charity works well, its achievements will be much greater than being an embroiderer in Jinxiufang."
“I plan to resign from Jinxiufang once I finish all the clothes I have on hand.”
"Resign?"
"It means that I unilaterally fired Jinxiufang and made room for the top embroiderer to motivate other embroiderers."
Yu Zhiyi was taken aback: "This... You've worked so hard for so long, and it wasn't easy for you to become a top embroiderer. It would be a shame to quit like this. Besides, if your father sees you like this, he might think you lack perseverance, and then all your efforts over the past year will have been in vain."
