208 Return to the Human World
◎It turns out there is such a hidden story here.◎
Yu Jingyao remained silent for a moment.
Yu Jingyuan's words echoed again, "I told you years ago that if we couldn't live together anymore, we'd get a divorce. Zhiyan's grown up now."
Yu Jingyao frowned.
"Zhizhi is a sensible child. Even if you get divorced, she will understand."
"The grudges from so many years ago aren't so easy to erase. Furthermore, I know for sure that it's not just because of him; I blame myself, too."
She took maternity leave for half a year that year and didn't pay much attention to the company's affairs. She had accumulated a lot of work. After her confinement, she rested for another half a month and then got busy with work. Little Ye Zhizhi moved with her to a villa in the city center.
Yu Jingyao has been thinking about what happened that day all these years. She not only blames Ye Lang for not handling the emotional debt he caused, causing her innocent little Zhizhi to suffer unnecessary hardships, but also blames herself for why she had to focus on work during that time. If she had spent more time with little Zhizhi and waited until she was older before going to work, she saw with her own eyes that no one else would have found a chance to take little Zhizhi away.
Or maybe she could just work harder to get to work, leaving Xiao Zhizhi in the Ye family manor, where security is tightest, so that people with ulterior motives wouldn't have a chance to strike...
She thought a lot, but couldn't figure out why she was so busy that day that she didn't watch the video more often and didn't notice that there were any bad people among the nannies. She also couldn't understand why no one noticed the problem among so many nannies.
Of course, the one who blamed Ye Lang the most was why he didn't realize that he was being watched? Why couldn't he stay home and spend more time with Xiao Zhizhi?
In the end, it was their fault as parents that they brought their daughter into the world but failed to protect her.
If we think rationally, they shouldn't blame themselves, shouldn't take on the responsibility of others' mistakes. Even if there wasn't that one incident, it might happen again in the future.
Strictly speaking, this is not entirely Ye Lang's fault. Who would have thought that someone would attack a baby who was just born not long ago?
But she couldn't be rational, she blamed him and resented him.
Even though Xiao Zhizhi is back now, the grudge in my heart has not subsided.
Yu Jingyao said calmly, "That's it. I don't have the heart to look for someone new anyway. I have a lot of things to do in the future, and I won't have enough time to spend with Xiao Zhizhi."
Yu Jingyuan said seriously: "No matter when, everyone has the right to pursue happiness. Xiao Zhizhi will have her own life in the future, so you should think about yourself."
"I advised you to divorce back then. It's better than being stuck in the same situation now."
Yu Jingyao said, "I'm not a child anymore. I have my own plans. Don't worry, no matter what decision I make, I will follow my heart and will never let myself down."
"I'm relieved that you think so. Remember, the Yu family will always be your backer."
"I know, thank you, big brother."
After Yu Jingyuan finished speaking, he left for the guest house.
He is not young anymore and pays more attention to health preservation. Now it is already past his usual sleeping time, so he doesn't play with young people.
Yu Jingyao walked him for a while and watched him enter the guest building. She stood there for a moment.
"Come out."
Ye Zhizhi, who was squatting on the side: "?" She looked left and right. She hid so well, but she was discovered?
When she walked out, she saw Ye Lang walking out from the corner opposite with his head down.
Ye Zhizhi blinked and was about to hide himself, but Yu Jingyao had already seen him.
Her eyes wandered, she was listening so intently that she didn't notice Father Ye's presence downwind, and she fell into the trap.
"Jingyao." Ye Lang called out pitifully. He moved his lips, wiped his face, and said nothing dejectedly.
Yu Jingyao ignored Ye Lang and looked at Ye Zhizhi, "Did you hear everything just now?"
Ye Zhizhi nodded. What did their conversation mean? Was there a hidden story behind her disappearance?
She blinked and looked at Yu Jingyao curiously, occasionally glancing at Ye's father as if he had done something wrong.
"Mom knows you can understand a lot of things. You have the right to know the truth, so I won't hide it from you."
Ye Lang lowered his head even lower.
Yu Jingyao then recounted in detail the causes and consequences of her loss.
After hearing this, Ye Zhizhi didn't react for a long time.
The person who threw her into the jungle and left her with a very twisted and terrifying impression turned out to be Ye's father's former lover. Just because Ye's father was going to marry Yu's mother, he broke off their previous messy relationship. As a result, the woman refused to break off the relationship and kept pestering him. Later, when she saw that there was no chance, she disappeared. Unexpectedly, the person did not really give up, but lurked beside them, kept staring at them, and then gave them fatal revenge at the critical moment.
Just because of this, they threw her, a baby less than three months old, into such a horrible jungle? You know, if she hadn't been brought back to the den by the wolf mother, she would have been devoured by wild beasts or frozen to death or starved to death in the jungle, and her bones would have become nutrients for plants.
And that jungle is where the woman and Ye’s father met?
It turns out there is such a hidden story here.
She always thought it was a plot twist and it was time for her to get killed. She never thought that there was something about Ye's father involved.
Actually, this is a plot-driven thing. It was not mentioned in the original novel, but for the sake of a reasonable plot, it developed like this.
Even if this hadn't happened, she would have been lost in some other way.
After all, the original novel says that the heroine Bai Yueguang has a younger sister who was lost in her early years.
Ye Lang's voice was hoarse, his face full of guilt. "Zhizhi, it's Daddy who's wronged you. It doesn't matter if you don't forgive Daddy. I just hope that I can see you more often."
Ye Zhizhi looked at Yu's mother, then at Ye's father, feeling a little helpless.
Yu Jingyao said: "Zhizhi, no matter what decision you make, Mom will support you."
Ye Zhizhi didn't say whether she forgave or not. She had never thought about it deeply over the years, and she firmly believed that it was due to the plot. However, she thought of Yu's mother and her little brother who had faced a broken family for so many years.
Although they all tried to hide it, Ye Zhizhi could see that Yu's mother's headache was caused by her disappearance that year, and her little brother was not living well either. Even if she didn't care, she couldn't forgive him on their behalf.
Mother Yu and little brother also suffered a lot of torture and torment, which could not be erased by her return.
Although that was the lover that Ye's father had before he met Yu's mother, and it was not wrong for him to take the initiative to break up the previous relationship after deciding to get married, but who made him not keep himself clean?
Ye Zhizhi held Yu Jingyao's hand and said firmly: "I support you." No matter what decision you make, even if it means divorce immediately, she has no objection at all.
Even if she didn't understand the complexity of human love, she could see that there was a lot of distance between Dad Ye and Mom Yu. Dad Ye wanted to keep them together, especially after Xiao Zhizhi came back. He wanted to go back to the time when the family of four was close together, but Mom Yu had always been indifferent to this.
Ye Zhizhi has accepted the reality that her once happy human family has been broken up these days. If Yu's mother wants to divorce, she will fully support her. At worst, she can live separately for a while like her brother.
Ye Lang's heart was bleeding and he was filled with bitterness, but he couldn't say a word to try to keep her. He also thought that he was a sinner, so how could he be qualified to ask for forgiveness?
While Ye Lang was waiting for the verdict with a broken heart, Yu Jingyao said calmly, "It's time to go back. If it's any later, Zhiyan will come out to look for someone."
Ye Zhizhi blinked. Does Yu's mother mean to maintain the status quo, neither divorce nor forgive?
Ye Lang's mind was in turmoil for a moment, but when he came to his senses, his face was filled with joy. He didn't expect to be able to reconcile, being able to maintain the status quo was the greatest blessing. As long as Jing Yao was still his legal wife and his children were still together at home, he was very satisfied.
After talking about this matter, the huge rock that was pressing on Ye Lang's heart was also removed. He was very afraid that Xiao Zhizhi would look at him with blame and resentment after knowing the truth about why he was abandoned. Now that he knew that she did not resent him, Ye Lang was very happy.
His way of expressing his happiness was to give her another pile of assets.
Her ID information came down some time ago. After she showed that she could write her own name, she signed a box of asset gift transfer documents the next day. At first, Ye Zhizhi took a few glances at it, and then there was the one given by Yu's mother. She signed until her hands were tired.
Now another box has arrived. Isn't this the case of emptying all the Ye family's assets and transferring them to her? Ye Zhizhi thought divergently, if the Ye family goes bankrupt in the future, will these things have to be paid out as compensation?
But it was just a thought, and Ye Zhizhi didn't take it to heart. She felt that with her little brother around, even if she faced a bankruptcy crisis, she would be able to survive.
What's more, there are two successful business people, Mr. Ye and Ms. Yu.
