Chapter 921 - Fear
Chapter 921: Fear
Lu Yi could only remember what Ye Rong looked like in her late teens. In his memory, she was a very gentle and beautiful woman. His aunt had always been very nice to Lei Qingyi and him. It was not wrong to say that Ye Rong had always been there as he and Lei Qingyi grew up. However, they were too young back then. He was only four years old, while Lei Qingyi, three years old. They were the most mischievous at that time and were punished almost on a daily basis. Whenever they were beaten, they would go to their aunt. Then, their aunt would buy them many delicious snacks. Not only that, they would also receive less punishment whenever their aunt was around.
He could not remember when, but one day, they could no longer find their aunt. Everytime he asked his mother about the pretty aunt’s whereabouts, Ye Shuyun would reply with merely a sigh.
As he grew up, he slowly forgot about his aunt. He also started to forget what his aunt looked like as all the memories he had with his aunt began to fade. Now, he could barely remember his aunt as a silhouette.
Ye Shuyun was one of the very few people who could remember Ye Rong’s appearance. Ye Rong’s picture was nowhere to be found in the entire Ye residence too. Therefore, if one was to ask Lu Yi to describe Ye Rong’s appearance, he would only shake his head. Both Lu Yi and Lei Qingyi failed to recall what Ye Rong looked like.
All he knew was that Ye Rong was a very tender beauty. She was born to a noble family and was a very sophisticated lady. She was supposed to have a bright future. Lu Yi did not know how she left the Ye family. He only knew that, when he was four years old, Ye Rong suddenly disappeared into thin air.
At that time, Ye Rong was still a university student. Back then, she was already a graceful lady. Many boys wished to be her sweetheart as they thought of her as the ideal girl to marry. Unfortunately, when she was at her best time in her life, she went missing. She vanished into thin air, leaving no trace behind. The Ye family had sent out many people to look for her. The search lasted for years, but to no avail. Owing to her disappearance, the grandmother of the Ye family died of depression. Before Sun Yuhan’s advent, Ye Rong’s disappearance had always been the greatest grief in the Ye family. Hitherto, the loss of Ye Rong was still the Ye family’s biggest regret.
Nevertheless, she would never return as the dead one would not return to life. Ye Jianguo could not do anything other than sorrow over her daughter’s untimely death.
Ye Rong’s departure, or rather, her disappearance remained as an unsolved conundrum even until today. The only thing they knew about Ye Rong was the fact that she had a daughter — Sun Yuhan. However, just like Ye Rong’s disappearance, the background of Sun Yuhan was also a mystery.
Nevertheless, the world was full of unsolved questions. Sun Yuhan’s unexplained arrival did not upset Yan Huan too much. After all, Su Yuhan claimed to be Ye Rong’s daughter. As long as she was not affected, Yan Huan was the least bothered by Ye family’s affair.
Lu Yi tucked Yan Huan in before he headed for the three kids’ bedroom to check on them.
Despite the fact that the three children always caused trouble for him, he reckoned that all his effort and weariness were worth it whenever he saw the three adorable faces. Little did he know that Yan Huan opened her eyes instantly after he shut the door.
Ye Rong. She sat up. Somehow, she got a strange feeling everytime she was reminded of this name. It was an indescribable feeling that constantly harassed her.
Sun Yuhan’s identity was rather dubitable. However, there was no concrete evidence for anyone to doubt her.
There must be a scheme behind every unplanned event. Ever since Yan Huan was reborn, she had always had everything in her hands. Although she had yet to grasp the entire timeline, she vaguely knew the chain of events of her life.
Other than incidents that involved the others, most of the events happened in a sequence that was almost the same as her past life. She had not attempted to change anything, not to mention to change the fate of the others. She knew very well that she was not anyone’s savior and was not capable of making the world a better place.
Although there were some minor changes here and there, as of now, everything happened within a reasonable scope.
Up to this point, the story went as she expected, until Sun Yuhan came.
Ye Rong’s daughter?
Did Ye Rong have a daughter in the previous life?
However, Yan Huan had not even heard of Ye Rong in her past life. After the Ye family filed bankruptcy, Ye Rong’s daughter did not show up to reunite with her family. Yan Huan found the event to be a little strange as it only happened in this life.
All of a sudden, Ye Rong and her daughter were introduced to her.
This was the only thing that Yan Huan had not been able to explain.
Sigh, forget it. Yan Huan heaved a sigh before she lay down on her bed and covered her face with her blanket. She hid under the blanket and sniffed her lingering scent on the blanket. Her mind was cluttered.
She could not reason the entire event that involved Sun Yuhan and Ye Rong.
She did not know how long she stayed in this position until someone removed the blanket and revealed her. He was relieved to see that Yan Huan was not suffocating but merely fast asleep.
Lu Yi pulled the blanket up to her chin before he placed his laptop on his lap and immersed himself in work.
His work lulled for a moment when he suddenly recalled the mess created by the Ye family. However, he did not realize that there was another family that he and Yan Huan should pay more attention to.
Besides the Ye family, they should also be wary of the Su family.
At this moment, Sun Yuhan was lying on a huge bed in a dreamy big room of the Ye residence. Sun Yuhan had never once foreseen herself being in such an exquisite room, fed with expensive foods or wearing branded clothings. In fact, she was most proud of the luxury car that she was driving around in.
Suddenly, Sun Yuhan recalled what happened at the Lu residence and sat up abruptly. Her heart skipped a bit as she felt overwhelmed by a sense of crisis. Then, she grumpily punched her blanket, trying to vent her frustration.
No. I can’t let this happen. I’ll lose everything if someone exposes my real identity. I’ll lose my grandfather, my uncle, and my place in the Ye family. Most importantly, I’ll lose Lu Qin too.
She loathed to return to the shabby house. She hated it when she had to worry about her next meals everyday and live next to a toilet. She had gotten used to her current extravagant lifestyle. The idea of returning to being impoverished filled her with dread.
No. I will never let this happen.
