After receiving the fake pregnancy pills, Ye Ru visibly relaxed. Seeing that Liu Daxian had already walked away, the man quickly stepped forward and asked Ye Ru:
"Xiaoru, what exactly are you planning to do?"
Ye Ru's eyes shone as she replied, "Dad, I want to go back to the Ye family. Not only do I want to go back, but I want to go back openly and honestly!"
"What...what does this have to do with the medicine you have?" the man asked, puzzled.
“Of course it’s related!” Ye Ru replied, “Abner is currently unconscious. As long as I tell Ye Haiming that this child is Abner’s, I don’t believe he would abandon his own grandson!”
Upon hearing Ye Ru's words, the man's face showed worry: "But didn't the master say that the herbs have serious side effects? And you can hide it for a while, but not forever. There will always be a day when it's exposed. What will you do then?"
"Dad, you don't need to worry about that. Just because it's fake now doesn't mean it will be fake in the future. Don't worry, one day I will make it real."
Seeing Ye Ru's confident demeanor, the man didn't say anything more. After a long silence, he asked Ye Ru with some difficulty:
"Xiaoru, can't you come back? Even if you're not with the Ye family, Dad can still earn money to support you."
Ye Ru shook her head and refused without even thinking.
“Dad, it’s not that I look down on you for being poor, it’s just… I’ve been in the Ye family for so many years, and now I’m in this state, I’m really not willing to accept it. Besides… didn’t the doctor say that Abner will wake up one day? Once Ye Haiming hands over the Ye Group to Abner, I will be the president’s wife of the Ye Group, and then I can let you live a good life.”
"I'd rather not have these good days!"
The man looked at Ye Ru, his eyes filled with heartache and reluctance. "Dad just wants you to be happy. If you're not happy, no amount of money will mean anything to me."
Ye Ru turned her face away from the man, her voice choked with sobs, "Dad, please don't say things like that to me anymore. I don't want to hear it. I've lived in the Ye family for so many years. Just think of me as vain. Coming back to you, I have nothing, I can't get anything. This isn't the life I want. I'll only be more unhappy like this."
Hearing this, the man sighed helplessly, "I'm sorry, Xiaoru, I didn't consider your feelings. I won't say these things to you again."
"It's good that you know."
Ye Ru picked up the water glass on the bedside table and took a small sip to hide her guilt.
The man sat by Ye Ru's bedside for a while with his head down, his eyes dark and unreadable.
Looking at his wrinkled eyes and the patches of white hair on his head, Ye Ru felt her eyes well up with tears.
Over the years, to avoid suspicion, she has never called the man in front of her "Dad" in front of outsiders, and in the Ye family, she doesn't even dare to look at him more than once.
She had always regarded Ye Haiming and Gao Yalan as her own parents, but after going through this and that, she suddenly realized that she had been really foolish before.
When have they ever treated her like their own daughter?
She's nothing more than a pet. When they need her, they reward her with something so she can wag her tail and beg for their favor.
When they no longer need her, they think about squeezing out the last bit of value from her before kicking her aside.
Thinking of this, Ye Ru's heart ached even more. She closed her eyes wearily and said to the man, "Dad, I want to rest. You can go back to your room first. Once I've rested, you can send me back to the Ye family."
The man nodded silently, stood up, slowly walked out of the room, and gently closed the door behind him.
Just as he was leaving, he seemed to remember something, and reopened the door, saying to Ye Ru:
"Dad forgot to tell you, I've already taken care of the matter you asked me to contact the Song family. However, Song Lin doesn't even want to leave the house now. He locks himself in his room all day and won't see anyone. Those two old guys in the Song family don't dare to offend Ye Huanhuan anymore. It's going to be very difficult for you to get rid of Ye Huanhuan by using the Song family."
Ye Ru had almost forgotten about this matter because she had been so busy lately. But when the man brought it up, an idea immediately came to her mind.
"If he doesn't want to come out, then we'll find a way to get him to come out!"
"What method?" the man asked, puzzled.
Ye Ru sat up again, a cold glint in her eyes, and said to the man, "Tell Song Lin that the child in Ye Huanhuan's belly isn't his, but her current husband Tang Yi's. They were already having an affair long before Ye Huanhuan divorced him. I don't believe Song Lin will let that bitch Ye Huanhuan go after knowing this!"
"But..."
The man was still somewhat worried, "What evidence can prove that what you're saying is true?"
Ye Ru's eyes grew even colder. "What does it matter whether something is true or false to someone who is about to go crazy? As long as he is willing to believe it, then the news is true."
The man nodded, completely obedient to Ye Ru, and said, "Okay, I'll take care of it tomorrow."
"This is not urgent."
Ye Ru said, "Let's talk about it after I get back to the Ye family safely."
"Okay, then Dad won't bother you anymore. You should rest well. If you get hungry, just call Dad and he'll cook your favorite dumplings for you."
After saying that, the man closed the door completely, no longer disturbing Ye Ru's rest.
Ye Ru stared at the closed door, the coldness in her eyes gradually fading. Tears streamed down her face, dripping onto the blanket, instantly dampening it.
She covered her mouth with her hand, trying hard not to cry out, her heart filled with complex emotions.
I'm sorry, I can't stay here with you. I must go back to the Ye family and take back everything that belongs to me!
