Ye’s mother sighed, “Alas, it’s all past events. It’s a long story. I’ll tell you in detail in the future.” Ye s.h.i.+wei frowned.
The man in front of her was her uncle? And the chairman of Mu Business turned out her …
Li Dakai’s words exploded in Ye s.h.i.+wei’s mind, making her stand there in a daze and remain speechless for a long time.
Feeling her daughter not showing decent politeness, Ye’s mother quietly patted her hand as she explained to Mu Tingchen with a smile at the same time.
“I kept those things from Weiwei all the time, so it’s normal for her to be unbale to accept it at the moment. Tingchen, don’t take it to heart.”
“No at all.”
Tingchen approached s.h.i.+wei, and when his eyes fell on her shocked face, his cold face unconsciously turned soft.
“Weiwei.”
“Ah … ahh?”
Ye s.h.i.+wei looked up at a loss and saw his deep eyes. In this way, he directly pressed his deep concerned eyes on her.
Ye s.h.i.+wei’s heart thumped. And she hurried to move her eyes away.
It took a long time of stuttering before she finally uttered two words.
“Un … uncle.”
She felt so embarra.s.sed that she even wanted to die!
Everything of that night, every detail had come back to her. His smell, his big and cold palms, everything about him …
It made Ye s.h.i.+wei burning up inside.
“Un … uncle.”
It was even more awkward for her to say this once than a hundred times of a tongue twister!
“You’ve had such a big enterprise to manage, so you must be very busy. My mother has got me to take care of her here. You … you hurry to deal with your business …”
Her mother frowned slightly when she heard this.
“Weiwei! Why are you so rude!”
“That’s all right.”
Instead, Mu Tingshen was showing great kindness, which was completely different from his Great Devil image depicted in the report …
“Saozi (which means sister-in-law in Chinese), I’ll go first and come to pick up Weiwei in the evening.”
Saozi …
The way Mu Tingchen called her mother made Ye s.h.i.+wei’s head buzzing …
When she was exactly in a trance, Mu Tingchen’s a.s.sistant suddenly stepped forward and handed over a business card to her.
“Miss Ye, my name is Fang Ze, Mr. Mu’s personal a.s.sistant. You can contact me whenever you need to.”
Ye s.h.i.+wei took the business card stiffly and looked at it in a daze for quite a long time until they all left.
“Weiwei … Weiwei?” Her mother called several times.
“Huh …? Mom! What on earth is going on?!”
“Alas.” Her mother sighed and slowly told her what happened many many years ago.
Born to a big family didn’t always mean a fortune. You might look wonderful above a great many people superficially, but in fact, it would be difficult just to follow your own heart.
At that time, Mu Kang’an, the eldest son of Family Mu and the proudest, was once recognized as the heir. But at the prime of his days, it was revealed that he had been unscrupulous in his private life for getting a third-tier model pregnant without marriage.
This would be only a trivial thing in ordinary people’s life, but in Family Mu, where there were countless eyes staring, this black spot was infinitely magnified.
As a result, the media, the audience, and even his brothers in the industry, drifted far away from him. He was criticized by everyone. In the end, he resolutely chose his woman and left Family Mu, and everything that seemed superior.
And the woman was exactly Ye s.h.i.+wei’s mother.
Later, Mu Kang’an changed his surname to be the same as his wife’s, which was Ye. Then Ye s.h.i.+wei was born. And Ye Kang’an again established Ye Business through his own efforts. Judging from everything he was supposed to lead an ordinary but sweet life. Unexpectedly, his family was dragged into darkness for another time with his accidentally disappearance three years ago.
The story was so huge and shocking that Ye s.h.i.+wei stayed there dazed for a very long time until the nurse entered the ward to change her mother’s drip.
She was so confused, but she couldn’t help asking, “Could there be some mistake? Mu Tingchen shows nothing like his father in all aspects of his personality or his look. How can he be my father’s brother?”
“That’s because Tingchen has been living abroad when he was young. They didn’t have much communication actually. When he heard your father missing after he returned home for further development, he let bygones be bygones and help us. Weiwei, you should remember to be grateful.”
Ye s.h.i.+wei frowned, “Grateful? To those kinds of cold-blooded people? They always put interests first. I won’t believe he would be so kind to help us!”
Moreover, it was not help at all, judging from the current situation. It was all pain, instead!
One more look at Mu Tingchen, Ye s.h.i.+wei would feel one more share of shame. Her unethical thing should never be known by her mother.
Ye s.h.i.+wei thought it would work as long as she was away from that man!
But against her wishes, her mother seemed to think the opposite.
“Weiwei, don’t think about your uncle like that. He promised me that he would take good care of you. You don’t have to worry about the college fees. Tingchen will cover that. When I’m gone someday in the future, you should learn to get along well with him.”
“Mom!” Ye s.h.i.+wei stamped her feet anxiously. She had already felt great aggrievance, but hearing what her mother had said now made tears begin to spin in her eyes. “What nonsense are you talking about? You will be all right. We still have to wait for Dad to come back together!”
Her mother showed a distressing smile. As a mother, she was certainly reluctant to give her daughter into other’s hands, but she knew best about her own illness.
“Weiwei, remember this.”
“No! I want to be with mom. I’m not going anywhere!”
“Wei …” She straightened herself up, and couldn’t hold back the coughing because of the violent mood swings. Ahem ... Ahem …”
“Mom!”
“Ahem …”
Ye’s mother coughed more and more violently, with her face as pale as paper. Ye s.h.i.+wei pressed the first-aid bell with trembling hands. She had been so anxious that she was even unaware that an opening had been made on her lips by herself.
When the doctor came, the coughing was finally kept down, but at the same time, the breath of Ye’s mother also became weaker and weaker … until she totally lost her consciousness.
