Ouyang Jun hugged the crying Ye Ziyuan and said softly: "I always said that I can't understand the pain of your childhood. You tell me about it. Maybe you will feel better if you tell me everything."
Ye Ziyuan bit her lip and stopped crying. She was silent for a while and then spoke with tears in her eyes:
"Yu Zhenyuan abandoned my mother many years ago for the sake of her future. She left Taiwan sadly with my two-year-old brother Ye Lingfeng, and moved to Singapore, where she worked in a laundromat to barely support the life of mother and son. Half a year later, she
I lived with a man who also worked in a laundry and gave birth to me the next year. My father was an alcoholic and would not attack me yet, but beating my mother and brother was almost routine.
A few years later, my father drank too much one night and died of alcohol poisoning on the street. From then on, my mother took me and my brother to live a hard life. My brother has been talented in music since he was a child, and I loved ballet dancing when I was a child, but I lived a poor life.
, my mother had no ability to educate us, so the two siblings of us could only secretly go outside the classroom to watch the children of wealthy families rehearse. My brother sang a song boldly outside the classroom and was noticed by the music teacher, who took him to free teaching.
I embarked on the road of music, but I did not have such a good life. I could only peek pitifully out of the window, and then go home and practice hard.
The days slowly passed, and I grew up slowly. My shabby clothes could not hide my beauty. At only twelve years old, I was already like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child. I am not boasting. I would describe it as slim and graceful.
It’s not an exaggeration.” When Ye Ziyuan said this, there was a proud smile on her face.
"I know, in my eyes, you are as beautiful as a fairy descending to earth." Ouyang Jun echoed the praise.
Ye Ziyuan continued: "Ballet is still my most passionate hobby, but the expensive tuition is a stumbling block to my dream. In order to remove this stumbling block, I - I set my sights on a local single man with some wealth.
I dedicated myself to him, and that man gave me enough money to send me to learn dance and successfully finish college." When Ye Ziyuan said this, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed.
"Is this what you mean by losing your virginity at the age of twelve?" Ouyang Jun suddenly pushed her away.
"Yes! If not, I would still be living in the slums of Singapore, or marry an alcoholic husband, have a bunch of children crawling all over the floor, work as a nanny, or wash clothes," Ye Ziyuan said excitedly
, stretched out his delicate hands and waved them in front of Ouyang Jun, "But God gave me such delicate hands and a beautiful face. I shouldn't live such a life!"
"I have to change, do you understand? I have to change!" Ye Ziyuan knelt on the bed, her body trembling slightly. She continued, "I graduated from college. I went to tell that man that I could be independent and that I wanted to leave him.
But he threatened me, saying that as long as I left, he would spread the scandal about me living with him, and even if I went out, I would not be able to hold my head high."
"Then - I killed him - he asked for it!" Ye Ziyuan said, her body shaking more and more violently, her eyes bulging, as if she had returned to the scene at that time, full of hatred and fear.
Ouyang Jun looked at her, stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, and said: "I had a very difficult time when I was a child. My parents passed away long ago. When I was a teenager, I became a younger brother. With my fear of death,
We have worked so hard to achieve what we have achieved today, and we have spent so many bloody days on the tip of a knife. It is also unbearable to look back. We can all be considered as fallen people at the end of the world."
Ye Ziyuan looked at him, her excitement gradually calmed down.
"I never thought that Yu Haoxuan would change his mind about me so quickly. He disappointed me so much." She said sadly.
"Perhaps that boy Yu Haoxuan is as ruthless and unrighteous as me. From now on, if you follow me wholeheartedly, Brother Jun will want to rip his heart out for you." Ouyang Jun said.
Ye Ziyuan leaned in his arms and nodded lightly.
"He said he would give me Ziyuan's villa, but I would still live there. Firstly, it would be easier to get close to Yu Haoxuan and keep track of the Yu family's dynamics. Secondly," Ye Ziyuan bit her lip and pondered for a while, then said bitterly, "
Secondly, I can’t let that woman succeed like this! I can’t make it easy for them!”
Ouyang Jun hugged her, let out a long sigh, and said, "Yu Haoxuan won't care about you these two days because of his grandfather, so just stay here with me."
"I will leave at night. I have to do something important. Maybe it will succeed, maybe it won't." Ye Ziyuan's expression suddenly became tense.
"What to do?" Ouyang Jun asked.
Ye Ziyuan shook her head, lay down and closed her eyes tiredly. After being rejected by Yu Haoxuan last night, she tossed and turned almost all night without closing her eyes.
Ye Lingfeng returned to Guhe Hospital. His grandfather was out of danger. He and Yu Haoxuan looked at him through the glass window outside the intensive care unit, silently.
Yu Zhenyuan walked to Ye Lingfeng and whispered: "Lingfeng, let's go over there and talk."
Ye Lingfeng followed him to the end of the secluded corridor.
"Ling Feng, it's not that dad doesn't want to recognize you -"
"Don't call yourself dad. In my heart, my dad is dead a long time ago." Ye Lingfeng interrupted him coldly.
Yu Zhenyuan coughed awkwardly and wanted to smile, but his muscles were stiff and he couldn't force out a smile.
"Then the shares Grandpa talked about——"
"I have also rejected Grandpa." Ye Lingfeng interrupted him again.
"Grandpa is out of danger. I think you can leave too. Also, your sister Ye Ziyuan, I hope she leaves Haoxuan, because Haoxuan already has a marriage partner designated by grandpa." Yu Zhenyuan said.
"Hmph! Are you so anxious to get rid of us? I really don't understand why you can be so selfish all your life that only your fame and fortune are in your heart?" Ye Lingfeng snorted coldly and looked at Yu Zhenyuan aggressively.
"Is it easy for me to get to where I am today? I don't want to ruin half my life's hard work just because of your appearance!" Yu Zhenyuan became a little angry.
"Work hard? Your hard work is just abandoning your wife and children and clinging to power!" Ye Lingfeng scolded angrily.
Yu Zhenyuan avoided his piercing gaze, lowered his head and said: "Yes, I am ashamed of you mother and son. I will make it up to you in the future, but the time is really not right now. I am running for parliament now. If your Aunt Shufen
If she learns about my past, she will definitely be sad and hate me for deceiving her. She helped me establish all my connections in the political arena. If she doesn't help me, I will have no hope."
Ye Lingfeng looked at him with contempt and said coldly: "I will not ask for your compensation, nor will I hinder your future. Grandpa is fine, and I have to go back to work. You can rest assured to pursue your fame.
Please tell grandpa that I will go back to Taipei to see him often." After Ye Lingfeng finished speaking, he left without looking back.
