Chapter 150: Is he okay?

“Mm!”

The water rushed against him again and again, quickly draining Su Ling of all his strength. His hands hung limply around Gu Qingyuan’s neck. This kind of experience was special, very special, and also…

Su Ling couldn’t answer. He bit his lip tightly, tears in his eyes.

“How does it feel?”

Su Ling’s heart trembled. Being liked made him feel very happy inside, especially since this person was his Master. But the next words she spoke instantly made that happy feeling disappear.

“I enjoy playing with you!”

Su Ling’s heart suddenly felt bitter. ‘Just playing with me? Not that kind of like?’

“When your throat is healed, I still want to hear your cries.”

Gu Qingyuan’s voice continued, but Su Ling could no longer listen with any mood.

I don’t know how long passed. Gu Qingyuan looked at the little thing already asleep in her arms and sighed softly. This little thing was good in every way, except her constitution was too weak. She fainted partway through having fun.

Looking at the little thing, perhaps once her throat was healed, she could hire a nutritionist to properly regulate her health. At the very least, she shouldn’t faint while doing things.

“What exactly do you want?!”

Su Xing’s voice came from the other end of the phone, full of suppressed anger!

Ye Moran just smiled at that, playing with a watch in her hand.

“I just want revenge!”

“Revenge? Revenge for what?!”

Su Xing’s fists clenched until they creaked. He only found it absurd and ridiculous. ‘Revenge? Revenge for what?! Revenge for killing her mother? But what about his revenge? Could the days of helplessness and compromise, the ones he could never escape, just be ignored?’

Beside him, Ye Shuyu noticed Su Xing’s state was off. She gently patted his back, then took the phone from his hand, indicating she would speak.

“Moran, are you listening?”

After a long silence, Ye Moran said in a low voice, “I’m listening.”

“To be honest, I should be your aunt. When your mother left back then—”

“My mother was killed by you!”

Ye Moran’s voice was low, directly interrupting her.

Ye Shuyu was silent for a moment, but quickly adjusted and continued speaking, though her tone lost some of its familiar warmth.

“I know. I also know you were watching from the second floor at the time. I just didn’t expect you to remember. You were only a little over two years old then. A child that young shouldn’t remember these things.”

“But I do remember, Aunt! And I don’t just remember—I remember it clearly. It was Su Xing who slowly stabbed the knife into my mother’s heart!”

“Even more, I remember that when he stabbed her, he was crying fake tears.”

Ye Moran’s tone was unusually cold. These memories kept replaying in her mind. During those days without the little fellow, she would wake up from this nightmare every day!

And she couldn’t show it, because the people who killed her mother were right beside her. If she showed any sign of abnormality, she would only end up like her mother. After all, the man she thought was her father had wanted to kill her too from the very beginning.

There was a long, long silence on the other end before Ye Shuyu’s voice finally reappeared.

“Sorry, you might not believe me, but I still want to tell you: we were really forced into a corner when we chose to do that!”

“Forced into a corner?”

“Was gradually encroaching on my mother’s shares also being forced into a corner? I remember that happened before my mother died, right? Dare to say that you weren’t already planning my mother’s death back then? Now you say ‘forced into a corner’—ha, it should be premeditated, shouldn’t it!”

Ye Shuyu frowned, feeling inexplicably irritated. ‘She even found out about that? What else has she found out?’

She glanced at Su Xing beside him. He was still immersed in that painful emotion, unable to extricate himself. ‘No, I can’t reveal my other side in front of Su Xing, or he’ll be sad!’

She really did love him; otherwise, she wouldn’t have schemed step by step against her own sister for him, even if she eventually used him to kill her sister. But that was only to obtain him, to possess him!

Unfortunately, Ye Moran back then would create a rift between them. She was also worried that her weight in Su Xing’s heart wasn’t enough, afraid to rashly kill Ye Moran back then… and she had been softhearted, thinking Su Xing cared about his sister.

‘But there’s still a chance to fix this.’ She took a deep breath and continued, “Moran, if you want revenge for your mother, you can come at me. Don’t hurt your father. He’s actually conflicted too. He wants to love you very much, but he doesn’t dare to love you!”

“I know you don’t believe me, but the truth is, you are just like your father—you both love in a clumsy way. For example, you think that if you strike at us, we’ll hurt Ye Jin. So you sent him abroad and handed him over to someone you don’t even know to take care of.”

“You think Gu Qingyuan can protect him, but have you considered that she might also hurt him?”

“You two are too similar. Your way of loving is clumsy. It seems like you’re loving others, but actually you’re hurting them.”

“Shut up!”

“Ah, I know you’re angry. Don’t be angry for now. If you think I’m wrong, then you can go and see Ye Jin for yourself. See how he’s living. Then you’ll know whether I’m right or wrong.”

With that, Ye Shuyu hung up the phone directly.

Because she was very clear: Ye Moran would definitely go see Ye Jin. As long as she went, she would know Ye Jin’s current situation! Then she would clash with Gu Qingyuan, which would invisibly help them gain an ally!

Relying on their current strength to oppose Ye Moran was indeed a bit difficult! They could only blame their own negligence—all their attention was focused on Su Xing, completely ignoring Ye Moran, never expecting she would remember that night!

‘This is like a damn joke! But even if it’s a joke, it happened, and she has to find a way to deal with it. No one can destroy my current life!’

Ye Moran looked at the watch on her wrist. This watch was a birthday gift she had prepared for her sister… no, for the little fellow. She had already prepared several gifts like this.

She was afraid that if she couldn’t defeat those two old things, there would be no one to give the little fellow birthday gifts anymore.

She wanted to forget what Ye Shuyu had just said. The other party surely said those things to interfere with her thoughts, to make her make bad judgments!

But she still couldn’t help following that train of thought, thinking about Ye Jin’s current state.

Is he okay?

‘It should be, right?’
