Chapter 275 Destiny
Daniel hugged his knees tightly, curled up into a shrimp ball, and sobbed softly: "But...my mother,"
He paused, and suddenly remembered that Rebecca was no longer his mother. She was someone else's mother, and he had no right to call her mother.
Daniel wanted to cry but didn't dare to. He hid his head in his arms, avoiding all this like a poor little kid.
Xavier accepted it well. He was still the same as when he sat down just now. He had no feelings for Rebecca and Louis. He had no other thoughts except that he thought his script was a bit melodramatic.
Ye Lin was relieved to see that Xavier was fine. It was already difficult enough to coax Daniel, and if there was another one, he really wouldn't be able to handle it.
Turning his gaze back to the little curly-haired girl nestled in his arms like a quail, Ye Lin ruffled Daniel's hair and softly comforted her, "It's okay. Mommy loves Daniel very much and will never blame Daniel. Everything that happened has nothing to do with Daniel. Daniel is a good boy."
Daniel said in a muffled voice: "But, I am not my mother's child, nor am I you..."
Hearing this, Ye Lin frowned unhappily, then took a tough stance, pulling Daniel out of his arms and forcing him to look directly into his eyes: "You are, you always will be, I don't like to hear you say that."
The moment Daniel looked up, he met those eyes that were as deep as a pool. Those dark eyes were full of heartache. He called out absentmindedly, "Brother."
"Um?"
The little curly-haired one cried,
"I'm sorry that you're left without a mother."
Ye Lin's body stiffened, and he quickly turned his face away, blinking several times to cover up the panic in his eyes, but his slightly trembling fingers still exposed his loss of composure.
After taking a breath to adjust his mood, Ye Lin turned his head again, tried to pull the corners of his mouth towards Daniel, and laughed dryly: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's all fate. It's not your turn to apologize."
Daniel's eyes were slightly stunned, a little confused: "Fate?"
Xavier also cast a questioning look.
"Get up first, let's sit down and talk."
Ye Lin pulled Daniel back to sit on the sofa and slowly told them what happened decades ago.
It is also the source of everything.
This morning, Ye Lin not only called the housekeeper to come to the welfare home to refuel, but also called Oakley to inquire about Louis's situation.
During the conversation, he finally learned Louis's motives.
Louis did all this not just for money, his original purpose was revenge.
To avenge his parents.
Decades ago, the leader of the Fairburn family was Ye Lin’s grandfather, Mr. Walter Fairburn.
Walter is a qualified businessman, shrewd, decisive and profit-oriented.
When he was in charge of the Fairburn Group, World War II broke out. With the help of the war, Walter made a fortune by reselling supplies and issuing loans, making the Fairburn Group the top capital tycoon in the West.
And Louis was just a small episode in the expansion of the Fairburn Group, a little man whom Walter never cared about and didn't even know his name.
Louis comes from a middle-class family in Italy. His parents run a small real estate company. They are not rich, but they have enough food and clothing.
Until one day, Louis returned home from school as usual. What was different was that there were many people gathered at the door of his house, and there were also several ambulances. He learned from his neighbors that his parents had committed suicide.
Louis' parents owned a piece of land, which affected the business plan of a branch of the Fairburn Group. After the head of the branch failed to reach an agreement with Louis' parents, he resorted to malicious competition and other means to seize the land, which indirectly led to the bankruptcy of Louis's small company and heavy debts.
Louis' parents were unable to repay the huge debt and chose a dead end.
The seeds of hatred were deeply buried in Louis' heart from that moment on.
He wanted the Fairburn family to pay for his parents' lives.
Now that things have come to this,
Louis had nothing to hide, and even arrogantly confessed to Oakley that he not only killed Irene, but also the old patriarch Walter died in his hands. It was a pity that Ye Lin escaped.
Originally, according to Louis' plan, he was going to wait until Ye Lin inherited the Ye Group before taking action. In this way, Rebecca could inherit the Ye Group. After that, he would get rid of Rebecca who inherited all the assets of the Ye Group and Fairburn.
You can get all the money without any effort.
As for Xavier, Louis planned to kill him as soon as he was born, but because Vivian was soft-hearted, she let Xavier survive.
Later, Louis thought it would be interesting to let Walter's grandson struggle in the quagmire forever and live his life in poverty and pain.
She agreed to Xavier staying in the orphanage and warned Vivian not to help him.
The dusty past finally surfaced again.
Ye Lin sighed helplessly.
"Everything is fate. Our ancestors made their fortune by massacring cities, then through war, and in recent years, they used all means to expand their business. We've made too much money that we shouldn't have. Perhaps this is just a tit-for-tat."
After the words fell, the room fell into a dead silence, and no one spoke again.
The source of everything is unclear.
In the final analysis, it is all for the sake of profit.
Being blinded by greed will eventually bring about the consequences. It is not that there is no retribution, but that the time has not come yet.
Ye Lin looked out the window with empty eyes, and there was an lingering sadness in his dull eyes.
He was thinking about his past life.
In the previous life,
As expected, Louis succeeded.
After his death,
How long will Louis, who is eager to get all the property, let Aunt Rebecca live?
What kind of life is Xavier living?
Louis has gone crazy, will he take good care of Daniel?
The Ye family members also left one after another, and no one knew of Ye Lin's existence.
The Fairburn family and the Ye family disappeared silently in the long river of history.
After a long time
'Boom, boom,'
The clock on the wall swung its pendulum to tell the time. Ye Lin was pulled out of his muddy thoughts by the sound of the clock. Following the sound, he subconsciously turned his head to look at the clock.
Twelve o'clock noon.
Maintaining a posture for a long time makes the spine feel sore.
Ye Lin slightly bent his legs, changed the sitting position with his upper body, turned his head and asked the two little ones who were still wandering, "It's noon now, do you two want to eat?"
"ah?"
"Um?"
The two dazed people looked at Ye Lin together, with dull expressions on their faces as if saying, the house is in such a mess, how can you still eat?
Ye Lin got up and went to Daniel's closet to find a shirt to change into. When he came back, he saw that the two of them were still looking at him with that wandering expression, so he slapped each of them.
"Don't look at me like that, both of you. Even if the world ends tomorrow, I still have to eat today. I'll die well-fed."
"Stand up and go downstairs!"
Daniel had been used to being trained by Ye Lin since he was a child. When he heard the order, he reflexively jumped off the sofa and jogged forward.
Xavier had just joined their organization and was stunned for a moment before he could react. Then he imitated Daniel and ran down the stairs behind him.
The two of them ran into the restaurant one after the other.
Xavier didn't have time to sigh at this restaurant that was big enough to hold a dance party. He sat down next to Daniel, panting. This restaurant was really too big. It took him five minutes to run for a meal.
Xavier slumped on the chair, rolling his eyes in exhaustion. He turned to Daniel and asked, "Why are you running? Why is food even more scarce in your house than in our welfare home? Is there no food for us if we come late?"
Daniel gulped down half a glass of water, burped, and explained, "What do you know? According to my years of experience, if we don't run, the demon king Ye will kick us, the kind that can kick us from the third floor to the restaurant."
Xavier!!! His brother is indeed a dandy boy.
Daniel took another sip of water and added, "What welfare home? This is your home. From now on, I will share half of Ye Da Mo Wang's love with you."
"That's great. I won't have to carry this heavy burden of love alone anymore. Xiaoze, I have faith in you."
Daniel's emotions came and went quickly. After running for a while, he became more cheerful and talked to Xavier with stars in his eyes.
Xavier inexplicably felt that this love was not a good thing: "Let's not use it..."
The two of them whispered to each other for a while, and the maid began to serve them appetizers. Ye Lin had not arrived at the restaurant yet.
Daniel raised his upper body, looked towards the elevator entrance, and muttered, "Why hasn't the big devil come down yet? Did he go to take a shit?"
Owen, the butler, walked into the restaurant with an elegant and gentlemanly gait, like a little swan, but he stumbled and almost dropped the fruit plate in his hand.
Ever since his second young master changed schools, his speech has become more and more rude. He calls it a toilet, not a shit!
Straightening his small bow tie, Owen respectfully stepped forward to convey Ye Lin's words to Daniel: "Second Young Master, the eldest young master just went out for something, and told you and Young Master Xavier to have dinner on your own."
