"Do I owe him?"
"To be honest, I no longer have any expectations for this child. He's the same kind of person as Pan Zhiyuan, cold and heartless at heart."
Ye Lin said, "I raised him for ten years. During these ten years, I treated him with all my heart and soul, never mistreating him. I can say without a trace of guilt that I was a very qualified mother to him. But what about him?"
"He was only taken away by his grandmother for a month. After hearing some bad things his grandmother said about me, he didn't want to call me mom when we met again."
"Is this the kind of kid he is? He doesn't remember anything. Even trying to comfort him feels so boring."
"It's all in vain anyway. After a few days, he'll be driven away from me again by his grandmother's little words."
Yun Qiao looked at Ye Lin's excitement and didn't know what to say. He just advised her, "Children are fickle and easily influenced by adults. There's no need to get angry with a child. Try to be more open-minded."
"That's what I say, but when I really encounter someone like this, how can I possibly let it go?" Ye Lin sighed and said, "Qin Yunqiao, I've actually wanted to apologize to you for a long time, but I didn't feel like I had the face to do it. I've made too many mistakes in the past."
"Can you forgive me?"
Yun Qiao didn't want to say forgiveness, so he just said, "It's all in the past, let's not talk about it."
Ye Lin saw what Yun Qiao meant, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes. She felt embarrassed to force herself, so she pursed her lips bitterly and said "hmm" softly.
Yun Qiao didn't say anything, and the atmosphere became silent for a moment, seeming a little awkward.
This stagnant atmosphere made Ye Lin feel uncomfortable. She desperately wanted to say something to break the awkwardness.
After thinking for a long time, he finally thought of a topic and quickly said, "By the way, Wang Chunhua has returned from labor reform in Qinghai. Did you know this?"
Yun Qiao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he reacted.
Wang Chunhua was sentenced to ten years of forced labor. Considering the time, it is time for her to return.
"I don't know." She asked, "When did it happen?"
"Just last month," Ye Lin said. "She should have come back last year, but she was dishonest in Qinghai and stole food from the farm cafeteria, so she was fined an extra year."
Yun Qiao said "Oh" and acted indifferent, not showing much curiosity.
In her previous life, she thought Wang Chunhua was her biological mother, so she cared about her attitude towards her and wanted to gain her recognition and love. When she tried so hard but still couldn't get it, she felt sad and painful. In this life, after she learned that she was just a thief who stole children, she had completely let it go.
People don't crave the approval and love of a stranger.
And now she has received unreserved favoritism from her dearest cousin Feng Juan. Her lost heart has long been filled. This love will make her no longer feel confused and hesitant for the rest of her life.
Ye Lin could see Yun Qiao's indifference, but she continued, "Su Kang remarried and has stayed in western Sichuan ever since. The Su family's old house is gone, leaving only a small attic. Xiaohua was admitted to university and lives in the school dormitory. After Su Yixing returned from Yunnan, he couldn't find a job and went back to Yunnan last year.
The attic of the Su family is now occupied by the old man, Su Yichang. He's dating someone and is about to get married, but she doesn't want to live with Wang Chunhua, otherwise she won't get married. Su Yichang is already old, and in order to get married, he begged Wang Chunhua to move out and not be a burden to him, so she's homeless.
After hearing this, Yun Qiao's face remained expressionless. He turned to look at Ye Lin and asked her, "What do you mean by telling me this?"
"She stole you away from your family and changed you. Don't you hate her?" Ye Lin said, "I thought you'd feel relieved after hearing about her current situation."
"What about you?" Yun Qiao asked back, "Do you feel relieved too?"
"Me?" Ye Lin didn't expect Yun Qiao to suddenly ask her this question, and a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.
She was stunned for several seconds before she stammered, "I, I don't know either."
"I should feel relieved. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have left my biological father's side."
Even if her mother Gu Tingyu would still divorce her father, her father might not drown. Even if he drowned, she still had her grandmother, uncle and aunt to take care of her.
Just like they cared for Yun Qiao.
But she was replaced.
Wang Chunhua had distorted her character, making her narrow-minded, selfish, and profit-driven. After becoming her kin, she had done too many wrong things for the sake of profit, deeply hurting her uncle and aunt's hearts, so that now all she had left was the face she maintained by blood ties.
Qin Yunqiao's fate was changed by Wang Chunhua, and so was hers.
She should hate Wang Chunhua.
But during those years, Wang Chunhua was really very good to her.
Her position in Wang Chunhua's heart may not be as high as that of the brothers Su Yichang and Su Yixing, but it is much higher than that of Wang Chunhua's own daughter Su Hua.
The real preferences in the past made it hard for her to hate.
She couldn't help but remember these old feelings.
