Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After settling Lu Fen and the nanny, Ye Shu brought Ye Xun back to his room to rest.

Ye Xun hugged Ye Shu in a daze. “Mommy, I’m not sad.”

When Ye Shu heard her son’s words, her heart ached slightly.

Her son was so young, could he feel her sadness?

Then why hadn’t her mother noticed her sadness for so many years?

“Sigh…”

Ye Shu sighed. She gently touched her son’s face and kissed his forehead.

…

Ye Shu was busy organizing the materials in her office.

Ever since the department manager was fired, Ye Shu was forced to take over many of the remaining jobs until the new manager came in.

Although she could handle these problems, she was not familiar with them. At first, she was a little overwhelmed.

Her phone suddenly rang. Ye Shu tilted her head and picked up the call.

“Hello, is this Miss Ye?”

“Yes, you are?”

“Hello, this is the second prison in the city. Do you know Ye Qing?”

Hearing her father’s name, Ye Shu was stunned.

“Yes! I know him!”

Ye Shu put down her work and sat up straight. “May I know what’s the matter?”

“It’s like this! Ye Qing wants to see you. Are you available to meet him?”

“Yes!” Ye Shu replied solemnly.

“Okay! Please come to the meeting at the appointed time.”

“Alright! Thank you!”

Ye Shu hung up the phone, unable to hide the excitement on her face.

She could finally meet her father!

It had been five years and she never had the chance to see her father all this while!

…

Ye Shu arrived at the entrance of the prison at the appointed time.

She arranged her attire, tightened her grip on the application materials, took a deep breath, and stepped through the prison door.

After settling all the procedures, Ye Shu was brought to a small room where she waited quietly to meet her father. She had not slept well for the past two days ever since they agreed to meet.

After telling Lu Fen that she could finally meet her father, Lu Fen wrote a long letter and told her to give it to her father.

Ye Shu could understand her mother’s feelings. She knew that her mother had always loved her father deeply.

However, they had no choice but to separate when faced with the double pressure from the Ye Family and the Luo Family.

The metal door opened with a loud clang.

Ye Shu looked towards the door excitedly.

Ye Qing walked in with handcuffs on. He had lost a lot of weight, and his white hair made his cheeks look even more sunken. It was clear that he had not been living well for the past five years. His spirit was low.

Ye Shu looked at her father with heartache. She didn’t know what to say.

Ye Qing’s eyes flickered when he saw Ye Shu. He did not speak immediately but sat quietly opposite Ye Shu.

A prison guard dutifully closed the door to the meeting room and stood by the door, staring at the two of them.

Ye Shu wiped her slightly moist eyes. “Dad, are you… alright?”

Ye Qing smirked. “You still know that I’m your father?”

Ye Shu looked at Ye Qing in surprise.

She thought that her father was blaming her for not visiting him for so many years and quickly explained, “Dad, it’s not that I don’t want to visit you…”

Ye Shu did not know how to explain her experiences in the past five years. She also did not know how to explain why she could not come to see her own father.

Ye Qing didn’t seem to feel Ye Shu’s emotions.

He stared straight at Ye Shu. “It’s all because of you that my life is so miserable!”

Ye Qing gritted his teeth.

Ye Shu looked at Ye Qing in confusion, not understanding why he said that.

“Dad, what’s wrong? Why?”

Ye Qing glared at Ye Shu. “Who did you provoke?”

“Me? I didn’t!” Ye Shu looked at Ye Qing blankly.

“Dad, what happened to you?”

“They already told me! It’s because you provoked someone you shouldn’t have, that’s why they…”

As Ye Qing spoke, he subconsciously glanced at the prison guard.

“Dad? What happened to you? Who are they? What did they do to you?”

“Bah! You still have the cheek to ask me!” Ye Qing was very agitated, but he didn’t dare to show it in front of the prison guards, so he could only grit his teeth.

“I really don’t know… what’s going on?”

“They told me you were the one who ruined their plans! That’s why their leader sent people here to beat me up!”

Ye Qing pulled his sleeve and showed it to Ye Shu.

Ye Shu covered her mouth when she saw the scars on Ye Qing’s body.

“How did this happen? I really didn’t know…”
