Ye Yao smiled and continued, âOnce, I escaped and ran to the embassy. I called Ye Tianhao and asked him to come and get me. I thought that he must not have been aware that I was sent to the wrong place, but the only person who turned up was a doctor from the mental hospital. The second time I escaped, I asked the embassy to send me back to the country, but the embassy had to verify my identity through my parents. Then, Ye Tianhao told the embassy that I was ill and disobedient, and that he had sent me to the mental hospital for treatment. He didnât allow me to return home. So, it was deliberate on his part to leave me there. Do you know what life was like in the mental hospital? Now youâre asking me to help him? Why should I?â
Ye Yao did not want to continue talking about the time she was overseas. Words could not describe her tragic state back then at all.
Yang Ya did not expect Ye Yao to tell her what happened overseas. She was instantly speechless. âImpossible. Your father wonât do this. Are you making all this up because you donât wish to help your father?â
Ye Yao looked at Yang Ya in amusement. âDo you trust Ye Tianhao that much?â
Yang Ya said, âOf course. Your father is a very responsible and mature man. He takes good care of women, so I believe him.â
Ye Yao sneered sarcastically. âThatâs right. Since Ye Tianhao is so good, why did you leave him back then? If you act this way, itâs easy for people to misunderstand and think that you still have feelings for him. Donât forget that youâre now Qin Guodongâs wife and are a person of significant status in the imperial capital. If Ye Tianhao is really in trouble, I think you can help him easily, right? Instead of trying so hard to convince me, why donât you help him yourself?â
Yang Yaâs expression darkened. âHow can I help him? Weâre divorced, I have my own family now. If I help him, what will others think of me?â
Ye Yao smiled. âSince youâre unwilling to do it yourself, why force me to do it? Youâre so loyal to him and youâre not even willing to help him. Iâve already fallen out with him. What reason do I have to help him?â
On the same note, Ye Yao had also fallen out with Yang Ya at Grandmother Gaoâs birthday banquet. Not even a few days had passed, and Yang Ya was making demands of her as if nothing had happened.
Ye Yao was finding out for the first time just how shameless Yang Ya was. In the past, when she just could not get Ye Tianhao and Yang Ya to love her, Ye Yao blamed it on herself. She thought that Ye Tianhao and Yang Ya didnât like her because she wasnât good enough. So she tried her best to become better. However, it was when she had such a torturous time overseas that she suddenly realized, the problem didnât lie with her. It was the people around her who were sick. That was why a normal person like her was deemed abnormal! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Now that Ye Yao was among people like Jiang Jie, Huo Buyu, and Yang Youwei, she felt more normal than ever.
Seeing that Ye Yao could not be reasoned with no matter what, coupled with the fact that she had been bitten by a few mosquitoes, Yang Ya could not hold back her temper and her face turned cold. âSo, youâre just unwilling to help, right?â
Ye Yao maintained her stance. âYouâre dreaming if you think Iâll help!â
âFine!â Yang Ya said without mincing her words, âBack then, a portion of the 30% of the shares your grandfather gave you was mine. You have no right to return my shares to your uncle. I want you to compensate me for the shares I own.â
Ye Yao chuckled. âAre you kidding me? When Grandpa split the shares, he clearly said that the shares were for me. However, itâs strange. Youâre Grandpaâs biological daughter. Why didnât Grandpa give the shares to you but to me, his granddaughter?â
Ye Yao initially meant this to be a casual question but then having said it, she was struck by that fact and started to feel that something was indeed amiss.
When her grandfather was alive, he treated her very well. He especially doted on her and loved her to the core. In the ignorance of her youth, she would get into fights with Yang Youwei. Her grandfather would always take her side.
Even Yang Youwei, his biological son, could not compare to her.
Logically speaking, it should have been that Grandpa treated her well because he loved his family and Yang Ya, his daughter. But why didnât he give the shares to Yang Ya? Ye Yao couldnât figure it outâ¦
Suddenly, a possibility flashed across Ye Yaoâs mind and she broke out in cold sweat as she looked at Yang Ya inquisitively.
Yang Ya wanted to say something, but when she met Ye Yaoâs gaze, a chill ran down her spine.. âWhat is it? Why are you looking at me like that? What are you up to?â
