On Friday night, Yuna brought Youyou back to the family household. At first, Grandpa Chang was against her and Youyou moving out, but, understanding her circumstances and her difficulties, he settled for having her visit the house once a week to accompany him for dinner.Despite Yuna feeling a little fearful, there was no other way to go around this. After all, she owed him a lot. If he had not taken her away from the welfare center, her fate would have probably been a lot worse.Yuna carried the groceries she bought and walked behind her son. Youyou bounced up the stairs and saw that Chang had long been waiting for them at the corridor. After the company’s closure, they sold the villa that they had previously stayed at and moved into a condominium far off from the city center. It was on the eighth floor, and there was no elevator.Seeing his grandpa, Youyou happily ran over to him and threw himself into his embrace. When Chang saw his adorable, little grandson, his heart was immediat
Lisa lowered her head and shot Youyou a cold glance. No matter which angle she looked at his youthful face, she could only feel annoyance. The flames in her heart raged even more. She squinted her eyes, raised her hand, and swung it down his face. “You little bastard, stop pretending to be a good boy! What are you, anyway?! Get out of my way! It’s all because of you!”Youyou’s face twisted to the side from the force of her slap. He slowly lowered his head and touched his cheek with his small hand. The strands of his bangs hid his eyes from view, thus except for his tightly pursed lips, his facial expression could not be seen.Yuna heard the commotion and rushed out of the kitchen. When she saw that Youyou had been hit, her anger was instantly provoked. With an aching heart, she dashed over to Youyou’s side and held him in her embrace. Looking up, her eyes were cold.Witnessing this, her father was unable to suppress his rage. He stood up and rushed toward Lisa. He lifted his palm at h
Yuna whispered into her son’s ear, “I’m sorry… Youyou…”Youyou opened his little mouth to speak but hesitated. He really wanted to ask: Did his daddy really not like him – not want him – so he threw him away and did not bother with him anymore?Was he really what those adults said? ‘Born to a father but acknowledged by none’?These questions sprang to his lips, but he forcefully swallowed them back.Youyou flipped his hand and held his mom’s tender, delicate fingers. He lifted his small face and gazed up at the night sky, speaking softly, “Mommy, even if my daddy doesn’t want us, I still have mommy! I love mommy the most, so don’t be sad! It’s all because of daddy that mommy is sad! When I grow up, I will definitely protect mommy!”Yuna raised her eyes, followed his line of sight, and gazed outside as well. She eventually gave a long sigh and hugged him even tighter.“Youyou is such a good child….”*The Azhe residence*In the living room, Yuki Azhe, who was sitting on the sofa, sudden
When Yuna returned from her meeting with the department head, she was shocked by what she saw, but she quickly regained her composure.Once the few bossy youngsters saw her, they immediately recognized her. They approached her and forcibly dragged her by the arm outside the office.One of them, who seemed to be the leader, ruthlessly slapped her on the face. He was evidently vexed. In a threatening manner, he asked, “You’re that b*tch’s sister?!”Yuna was stunned. She cradled her stinging cheek and studied them. She then realized who the ‘b*tch’ that they were talking about was! Nasi!“Y’know how much that sister of yours owes me?” He chewed on gum, his eyes looking her up and down a few times.Yuna docilely pursed her lips and kept her silence. Very quickly, she sorted everything out and understood the entirety of the situation.Calling Nasi to mind, she probably incurred this huge debt while she was out having fun. Her family’s financial situation was still unstable, so she had no m
Unsure whether it was the pain or something else, Yuna’s eyes suddenly filled with moisture. Tears soon streamed unabatedly down her cheeks and steadily dripped onto the ground. She was so upset that she wept. From a young age, she had led a wandering life. Although she later had a place to call home, other than Chang, no one welcomed her. She was, all alone, reliant on no one. With her job gone, she really did not know what to do. Her deeply suppressed indignation finally burst out. The unforeseen events over the past few days had mentally and physically taken a heavy toll on her, and she was already at her limit of what she could endure. On top of shouldering Nasi’s debt, she also lost her job. At this very moment, she was without a penny to her name. What should she do now? She was very resilient to the point of unyielding even when she was in a difficult situation, she fended for herself. No matter how tough or how tiring it was, with Y
She did not even look at his expression. Messily wiping off the tears from her eyes with the back of her hand, she indignantly said, “Mister, I know it’s my fault for not looking at where I’m going, but you don’t have to act so condescending as to ‘pity’ me! I don’t need it!”After saying these words, she was no longer bothered with him and treated him as if he were non-existent. She bent down to pick up the documents on the ground, and turned to leave quickly, not bothering to look at him again.Weston fixed his gaze upon on her swiftly departing back. He was somewhat in a daze, unable to retract his sight from her for a long time.Her words caused his unwavering gaze and stance fly far out from his mind all of a sudden!Just by rewinding his memories, he could vividly recall the night he shared with the blindfolded, young girl – the girl who was forced to withstand all of him.He still remembered how he had delved into her delicate body and suffocated in her tightness.He willfully
Aaron was Weston’s right-hand man. Therefore, he was expected to be reliable in whatever he did, and investigating a regular citizen was truly a simple task. He conducted a thorough investigation within a day and brought everything over to Mr. Azhe’s office. However, he did not expect to run into Manrou. In front of her, he was a mere subordinate, naturally having no say in things, so he did not stop her from looking through the documents.The information collected was indeed very thorough. The thick stack of documents contained pictures and texts.Manrou flipped through them all. From the person’s family background and the institute the subject had graduated from down to the subject’s résumé, everything was listed out explicitly.At first, she was puzzled. This was clearly just a normal girl, and she could not fathom why he would order an investigation into her identity. However, the more information she read, the more uncertain she felt.“Yuna Shire?!” She had a vague impression of
The elderly man took out a similar keepsake to the jade she was holding. When the two were put together, they fit perfectly.She was unaware of the jade’s importance and simply lied that it was something her mother had left for her. The elderly man believed her words and brought her back to the family residence, naming her Manrou Azhe and just as quickly setting her as Weston’s fiancée when he was fourteen…*****Back to the present, in the CEO’s office, Manrou weakly dropped down on the sofa. She supported her forehead with a palm as cold sweat drenched her back.She tightly gripped the documents in her hand, her fingertips shuddering out of her control. She was very flustered.She could not guess why he had someone investigate all this. Could he have noticed something unusual about her origin, and he started to cast doubt on her real identity despite her being brought back by Grandpa Azhe personally back then?Her heart jumped once she considered this possibility.In actuality, she
