Upon hearing this, Zhao Yunye's expression visibly softened.
Although his time was truly precious, waiting so long was nothing for his daughter.
"Daughter, have some water." Zhao Yunye handed her a cup of tea.
Song Yuwei took the tea and took a small sip. She didn't usually drink tea and preferred coffee, but Zhao Yunye's tea tasted exceptionally mellow and fragrant.
“Daughter, the reason I called you here today is because of your fiancé.”
Zhao Yunye hesitated for a long time, seemingly trying to find a suitable reason to explain what he had discovered.
But he seemed afraid of hurting Song Yuwei and couldn't bear to be too direct.
"It's okay, Dad, just tell me."
Song Yuwei nonchalantly put down her teacup, leaned back calmly against the wheelchair, and stared directly at Zhao Yunye without the slightest fear.
"Well, according to my father's investigation, I saw his history of mental illness. His condition seems to be getting worse and worse over time, and you know what? He's done countless horrific things during his episodes..."
At this point, Zhao Yunye felt a sinking feeling in his heart. He didn't know if his daughter knew, but if Song Yuwei knew everything and still married Jiang Cheng...
Then he would really be so angry that he would die on the spot!
"Oh? Tell me about it." Song Yuwei picked up a peach from the table. The peach was red and big, and it looked delicious.
"That Jiang Cheng, when he has an episode, he attacks others, no matter what relationship he has with them or whether they are complete strangers. If he catches someone, he will beat them up."
The more Zhao Yunye talked, the more he felt he wanted to cry for his daughter.
“Daughter, I know you grew up in an orphanage and must have lacked love. But you can’t just marry any man because of that, can you? It’s understandable for a girl to want to find a suitable person to settle down with, but you still need to be rational! Once you marry him, it’s like you’ll be tied to him for life.”
This is unlike making friends or anything else! You can easily get out of other situations, but once you're married, it's very difficult for a woman to move on from a failed marriage!
As Zhao Yunye spoke, he felt increasingly like he was having a heart attack. He hurriedly took out the quick-acting heart medicine he had prepared beforehand, poured it into his palm, and swallowed it in one gulp.
Seeing his flustered and nervous appearance, Song Yuwei pressed her throbbing temples. Sure enough, she started her next life with a clear mind, which was different from others.
Everyone else thought they only had one chance to be human, so they valued everything extremely highly.
But she no longer felt that way. She had long believed that trusting someone didn't only last one lifetime, meaning that there was such a thing as past lives and present lives.
So she always felt that life was a playground, and she could play however she wanted.
They don't care about or cling to too many things, which naturally gets rid of many troubles.
“Dad, I’m not as stupid as you think. I know he has schizophrenia.”
Song Yuwei's nonchalant attitude made Zhao Yunye very worried.
“Daughter, you know he has schizophrenia, but do you know how many personalities he has? Schizophrenia is extremely complex, and it can even be hereditary. Don't you want children in this life? If you want children, and they turn out like him, are you planning to live with schizophrenia for the rest of your life?”
Zhao Yunye held Song Yuwei's shoulders tightly, earnestly persuading her, his eyes even brimming with tears from being so moved.
“Dad…” Song Yuwei rubbed her forehead. She really didn’t know what to say, but she could understand Zhao Yunye’s good intentions. She had already decided to play this game, so she definitely couldn’t go back on her word.
Besides, we've already taken the wedding photos. It's not easy to get married, so it's not bad!
"My daughter! If you are not happy, I will be sad for the rest of my life."
Seeing that Song Yuwei was not swayed by his words, Zhao Yunye knew that his daughter was a person with her own personality and ideas, and would not be easily swayed by others.
But he still found it hard to convince himself, so he said this emotionally.
These words, brimming with a father's boundless love, startled Song Yuwei.
She felt as if a warm current flowed through her heart and gradually spread throughout her body.
That's what family love is like—it's there for no reason, yet it's incredibly heartwarming.
"Dad, don't worry, I have my own judgment. Besides, happiness doesn't lie in the chaos of the outside world, but in one's own peaceful and prosperous heart."
Zhao Yunye fought back tears and continued, "Since you've made up your mind, Dad won't stop you. But if anything makes you uncomfortable in the future, you must call Dad immediately. We can get a divorce anytime! Even if it offends the Jiang family! My daughter can't suffer the slightest grievance!"
Song Yuwei nodded. She knew how influential the Jiang family was in the business world. Zhao Yunye was willing to offend the Jiang family for her sake, which showed how much he cared about her as his daughter.
"Dad, I definitely won't be wronged. I didn't come into this world to become an ascetic. I naturally have my own values. Once someone crosses my bottom line, I can tell them to get lost."
Song Yuwei's words made Zhao Yunye feel a little better, but he still continued, "This Jiang Cheng, he has beaten people many times, but because of the mental illness assessment, he cannot be convicted. Also, there are rumors that he beat a subordinate or servant to death. These are just rumors, but there is no such thing as a baseless rumor, so there must be some basis for them."
Zhao Yunye cautiously analyzed the situation for Song Yuwei, fearing that his daughter might be deceived.
Moreover, killing someone is too terrible and bloody. If that's the case, wouldn't his daughter be in a state of extreme danger every day?
“Dad, don’t think like that. Those things might just be malicious rumors. After all, you haven’t found any direct evidence to prove that he actually did those things, right? Besides, I took wedding photos with him today, and I don’t think he’s as irritable as you think.”
Song Yuwei remained remarkably calm, as if she were discussing what kind of breakfast to have the next morning, or when the sun would set and rise again.
But the meaning behind her words left Zhao Yunye speechless.
"What did you say? You went to take wedding photos?"
