Chapter 541: Chapter 542: Understand the Heart of a Mother Who Lost Her Child
"I..."
"Can’t speak, can you?" Bai Haoxue said, "I just gave birth, and Bai Youran came to see me. You let her come on purpose, right? The purpose was to stir up trouble between Ji Hanyu and me, to make me hate Ji Hanyu, to make me think Ji Hanyu was there to take me back.
The person who advised me to take a cruise was you, right? This was your blatant and direct intention to drive a wedge between Ji Hanyu and me, to make me willingly board that cruise.
The owner of that cruise is your so-called friend, isn’t he? You planned and misled me, creating the illusion that Ji Hanyu killed my father, making me shoot Ji Hanyu myself, let Ji Hanyu die at the hands of the woman he loved most. Even if he didn’t die, it was enough to make him wish he were dead."
"Haoxue...that person suddenly shot your father, which caught me off guard. Later, I quarreled with him, and you heard it."
"Yes, I heard it. It’s because I heard it that I know you’re not innocent. You’re not just an informed party, but a participant.
It’s a fact that you set me up! It’s a fact that you hurt me!
Ye Jinyan, we’ve been close since we were young. How does it feel to be betrayed by someone you consider family, to be stabbed by your own family? Do you know?"
"Haoxue..." Ye Jinyan was momentarily at a loss for words, just looking at Bai Haoxue with guilt.
"Ye Jinyan, no matter how much you participated in, or how much you know, or your reasons and justifications, the harm I’ve suffered has already been done, hasn’t it?
You haven’t experienced my despair, haven’t gone through everything I have.
To simply say ’for my own good’ isn’t it ridiculous? You’re not me, do you really know what’s good for me?"
Bai Haoxue said, "Ye Jinyan, let’s make things clear today once and for all.
If you’re willing, please tell me everything you know because I desperately want to find my child—I miss him so much, I really do!
If you’re not willing, I will find out myself!
Nothing in this world can stop a mother from wanting to find her child.
No matter how harsh or cruel the truth is, I will keep investigating and searching.
He is my child, and even if there’s only a 0.1% chance he’s alive, I’ll still search for him.
If not today, then tomorrow; if not tomorrow, then a month from now; if not a month, then a year; if not a year, then ten years; if not ten years, then fifty years...so what if I find him at the end of my life?
Ye Jinyan, I’m not asking you to consider our lifelong relationship, but I beg you to understand a mother’s heart after losing her child..."
"Haoxue...I..." Ye Jinyan clenched his fists, his face conflicted.
"I don’t want to hear your nonsense, your apologies, guilt, excuses, reasons; they’re all nonsense to me.
What I want is the truth, I only need you to tell me the whole truth.
However, your behavior and words today have already told me that you won’t tell me, will you?"
The Ye Jinyan of the past never beat around the bush like today.
"Haoxue..." Ye Jinyan paused and confessed, "Yes, I invited you to dinner today, I just purely wanted to invite you for a meal.
We haven’t seen each other for so many years, I wanted to know if you are doing well?"
"Ha..." Bai Haoxue scoffed, "Do you think I’m doing well? What does my well-being have to do with you?
No, if I’m doing well, it certainly has nothing to do with you."
In this world, only Ji Hanyu could make her feel that she could still be doing well.
