Chapter 78:

As a married daughter, Zhong Ya was disgusted when she found out that she had a half-sister, and the younger sister was five years older than her daughter.
As an illegitimate daughter, Chloe was raised in a stocking manner since she was a child. Her mother didn’t care about her at all. Since she was a child, she raised herself by herself. She cooked for herself, washed her own clothes, and gave it to herself. Tutor homework by yourself.
My mother drank drunk every day. When she was not awake, she lay in bed and went to sleep. When she was awake, she dressed brightly and went out to have fun. At home, she didn't even talk to Chloe, even if she did, she was told to cook.
Chloe’s impression of childhood and her mother was that whenever her father came, her mother would put on a new dress for her, and then she stood at the door, waiting awkwardly for her father to come.
When my father came to the house, he would care about her a few words as usual, but before he could finish speaking, the mother would stick to his father and either cry or say something ambiguous. Regardless of whether Chloe was present or not, they thought Chloe was young and could not remember anything.
Growing up in such an environment, Chloe is not much better than autism. The label of an illegitimate daughter is buckled on her head. Wherever she goes, people look at her with strange eyes. Even if those people didn't know that she was an illegitimate daughter, and saw her appearance and height different from ordinary people, they were unwilling to get close to her.
Even though it was so miserable, now that Chloe thinks about the time back then, she will feel a little nostalgic, because it was one of the few quiet lives in her more than 30 years of life.
Although she vaguely heard that she was an illegitimate daughter from the time she remembered, she had no idea about the identity of an illegitimate daughter. Until that day, she was dragged to the house by her mother. in.
Seeing another thin and graceful woman, another child who has not yet grown up, and another family, she suddenly understood what kind of existence she was.
Serge and her mother wanted to head-on, and they used Chloe to demonstrate to Zhong Manwei, Han Feixu’s grandmother. Zhong Manwei was a woman with no idea and weak temperament. Serge derailed not a day or two, but a full dozen. For more than ten years, she swallowed her anger and swallowed in her belly even after knocking out her teeth. But her swallowing voice ended on that day, because Serge did something she absolutely couldn't bear, and he actually involved the child in this matter.
After that day, Zhong Manwei didn't want to bear it anymore. She divorced Serge and asked him to leave with the money as he wished. But not long after the divorce, he had an accident. Chloe's mother had a guilty conscience and thought someone was revenge on them. So, she took all the money and Chloe back to France.
After returning to France, Chloe looked like a different person. Before, her personality was a bit like Zhong Manwei. Others treated herself badly, so all she would do is endure. After that, she became a bit like her mother. She became sharp, cruel, and very aggressive. She hated herself and her mother.
Her mother took her to Hertel, which was her hometown, but not long after arriving there, Chloe broke out with her a very serious argument, and then she ran away from home and left more than ten years away. She never went back in 2016.
When she left, she had only two hundred francs and more than thirty euros. The money was only enough for her to live for three to five days in 2002. She had to work immediately or she would have to live on the streets. In the first year, she had done everything and suffered everything. If it hadn’t been for someone to find that she was beautiful and could act, I’m afraid she would stay in various restaurants in Paris and work illegally. There would be no chance of achieving what she is today. height.
It is not easy for a girl with nothing to survive in the French capital. I don’t know how long she worked hard, how long she struggled, just when she thought she could finally have Ann’s birthday, her mother found it again. It turned out that the inheritance was almost spent, and she wanted to move Chloe’s inheritance. , But found out that she was an adult, and if she was not herself, she could not get the money out.
She wanted to spend the money, but Chloe was determined not to let her move. Her mother scolded her, beat her, went to her work place to be like a shrew, and even sue her, all methods were used, but Chloe just kept her from using the money.
Although the money didn't move, she always had to stop her mother's mouth, otherwise she would not be able to mix in here.
For so many years, her mother was like a vampire, clinging to her bones and blood, greedily asking her for money every day. To be honest, after discovering that she had cancer, Chloe’s first reaction was not shock, but relaxation. Sighed.
What irony, my mother is dying, her first reaction is that the day has finally come.
When she returned to China, she wanted to come back. Paris has nothing to miss for her. It is just a place to work. She can work wherever she is. It is not essentially for the purpose of returning the money to charity auctions. Atonement, after so many years, Chloe still feels guilty, but not much guilt. Because she already understood that it was not she who did the wrong thing, she was also one of the victims.
By paying back the money, she can say goodbye to the past completely. She feels a little bit guilty and can relax. The inheritance is converted into RMB, which is less than 100 million. She used her own money to add the insufficient part. People will be shocked when they hear it. In fact, she has no idea herself, but just some money, and she can make more money without it. She has her own residence and a transport car, and her daily life is rich and wealthy. It is basically useless to keep the money, so even if she spends it like this, she will not feel distressed.
As for Han Feixu, she thought about getting acquainted with Han Feixu. Whether she wants to admit it or not, they are both blood relatives, and in her life, there is no normal relative. She wanted to know what kind of people Han Feixu was, and maybe they would become friends if they could.
Ye Mingxin listened to her and didn't say anything for a long time. She pressed the corners of her lips tightly, and after a while, she said, "I will give you the part you added and return it to you. Don't refuse, you don't want to owe us. We don’t want to owe you either."
Chloe opened his mouth and was interrupted by Ye Mingxin before speaking. Hearing what she said, Chloe fell silent.
Ye Mingxin turned her head and took a long breath. She continued: "As for what you said, I want to be friends with Xiaoxu. Sorry, this should not work."
Chloe was stunned, and she quickly explained, "I didn't want to recognize her, but as a normal friend, I met occasionally. She would never know who I was."
"That's not okay," Ye Mingxin refused very simply. "You walked out of your shadow. This is very powerful. I admire it, but Xiaoxu hasn't walked out of her shadow yet. If you always appear in front of her, maybe something Time, it will remind her of the past."
Ye Mingxin looked at her, "Year after year of psychological cues and time washing, you gradually become more calm and can face your own past. If Xiaoxu remembers it, how long do you think it will take her to become What do you look like? Her mental quality can't be compared with you at all, her mental quality is worse than ordinary people."
Chloe wanted to say something more, "But..."
"I thank you for Xiaoxu, thank you for your kindness," Ye Mingxin smiled, "I also said sorry to you for her. I'm sorry, she may not accept your presence in her life."
Ye Mingxin left, Chloe stood there, looking at her leaving back, slowly, she lowered her eyes and sighed silently.
After leaving Marikalai, Ye Mingxin drove the car home. At that time, there was no one in the family, and even Aunt Li went out to buy groceries. In the afternoon, Han Feixu came back, holding a cup of passion fruit drink in her hand, lowering her head and trying to the coconut and pearls inside.
Seeing Ye Mingxin sitting in the living room, she raised her head, "Where have you been? Mr. Gan is still looking for you."
Ye Mingxin didn't answer the question, "Why is he looking for me."
"I didn't say, I just asked, I guess it's not an important thing, but you should call him back."
With a hum, Ye Mingxin turned his head back, Han Feixu bit the straw and sat down beside her, "What are you thinking about, so absorbed?"
Han Feixu sat down too hard, Ye Mingxin was bounced by the sofa twice, she looked at the people around her, Han Feixu opened a pair of big eyes, looking at her curiously, under those smart eyes, Ye Mingxin was open. He opened his mouth: "I want to go out for a drink. I don't know who I should be with me."
Han Feixu slapped her shoulders very happily, "Look for me, I'll drink with you!"
After a moment of silence, Ye Mingxin stood up, "I'll go find Lin Yi."
Han Feixu: "..."
I'd rather look for the enemy than look for her, is her drinking so bad!
Lin Yi was very surprised when she received a call from Ye Mingxin. She had something else in the afternoon, but after thinking about it, she pushed off her afternoon schedule.
They came to the tavern together. For them, this was the safest place to drink. After entering, Lin Yi smiled and sighed, "It turns out that this is the legendary tavern. Thanks to you, it is finally See what it looks like inside."
Ye Mingxin didn't speak, she walked straight to the bar, and after sitting down, she said to the bartender with her back to her, "A glass of Long Island Iced Tea."
Lin Yi sat down next to her, "Two glasses, trouble."
The bartender looks cute, with fluffy curly hair, a fringed see-through top, and a black knitted pleated skirt that will never go out of style underneath. Ye Mingxin's eyes flashed over the bartender. She was still wondering how the bartender had changed. She saw the bartender holding a bottle of gin and turning around with a stinky face.
Jiang Lingyu patted the wine bottle in her hand, looking as if she was about to hit someone, she stretched the last tone extremely long: "There is no Long Island Iced Tea. If you want to drink it, please go out and turn right"
Lin Yi was stunned. She looked at Ye Mingxin and asked her who this was with her eyes. Ye Mingxin introduced her, "This is Jiang Er, Jiang Lingyan's sister, Jiang Er, this is Lin Yi, you should know her. "
Jiang Lingyu snapped the wine bottle onto the bar, and said angrily: "You are still Ye Da, my name is Jiang Lingyu! I opened this bar, so you can just give me a nickname, letter. If you don't believe me, I put up a sign in front of the door!"
Lin Yi was startled by her sudden explosion. Soon, she looked at her with great interest, "What brand?"
Jiang Lingyu looked at Lin Yi and drew a big circle in front of him with both hands, "It's the kind of iron plate that is harmful to your health. It is round, with a picture of Ye Mingxin printed on it, and then draw a thick and long one. The black bars."
Lin Yi: "..."
She thought it was a somewhat insulting brand like "Ye Mingxin and dogs are not allowed", but she didn't expect it to be, but it was a little cute.
Today, Ye Mingxin didn't want to argue with her anymore. She straightened her back, raised her eyelids, and said very politely: "Well, Miss Jiang Lingyu, would you please help me serve a glass of Long Island Iced Tea?"
Jiang Lingyu was stunned, her eyes widened, "Ye Mingxin, are you okay?"
Since she was in junior high school, Ye Mingxin has never treated her so well. Even if there was no such thing as getting engaged before, Ye Mingxin's attitude towards her was still light.
Ye Ming said silently, "If you don't bring the wine again, I will be fine."
Jiang Lingyu glanced at her, and saw that she was not energetic, so he went to mix drinks, and Lin Yi looked at her, "What's the matter, let's talk."
When at home, Ye Mingxin didn't just say something to prevaricate Han Feixu casually. After thinking about it, she felt that she had to look for Lin Yi to resolve the entanglement and boredom in her heart. Because Lin Yi is the only person Han Feixu talked about the bad things in the family, even Section Chief Shen didn't know about those things about the Zhong family.
Ye Mingxin was silent for about half a minute before asking, "If, I mean, if Xiaoxu has a relative who has never seen it before and is still close by blood, you know the existence of this relative, you would want Xiaoxu Will Xu meet her?"
Jiang Lingyu poured the rum and gin into it. Just after taking the bottle of vodka, she heard these words. She rubbed her aside silently, raised her ears, and wanted to hear what they were talking more clearly. .
Lin Yi looked at her suspiciously, "The question you asked is too weird, why not let them meet? If you know that you have a close relative, Han Feixu would be very happy, right?"
Lin Yi was puzzled, "Why are you blocking this kind of thing?"
Ye Mingxin lowered her voice, "Because she is a relative over there."
Lin Yi blinked slightly, and then reacted after a while, she suddenly realized, "Oh...that's a bit..."
Jiang Lingyu, who is still holding his ears and making wine:? ? ? What? What is it? Can you speak more clearly?
Lin Yi paused and said her own opinion, "But, the mistake was made by her grandfather. It should have nothing to do with this relative. By the way, what kind of relative is that person? Who is her grandfather's?"
Ye Mingxin tapped the bar lightly and said quietly, "His daughter."
Lin Yi didn't react for a while: "Who?"
Ye Mingxin repeated again, "His daughter is Xiaoxu's aunt."
Lin Yi was so startled that she almost fell off the chair. She quickly held her back and stared at Ye Mingxin's face, "Wait, he still has a daughter? No, I mean, he has other daughters?!"
"Same father, Xiaoxu doesn't know about it."
Ye Mingxin and Lin Yi looked at each other, watching Lin Yi's expression gradually turn from shocked to calm, her arm resting on the bar, it takes a while to digest the news, "Oh my god, this...even me. I was shocked, it is hard to imagine how Han Feixu would react if he knew it."
"No," Lin Yi raised his head, "Then how do you know?"
Ye Mingxin didn't say that he also investigated Chloe, "I also knew it by accident."
How can there be so many accidents that Ye Mingxin could discover such a shocking news, Lin Yi looked at her suspiciously, at this moment, Jiang Lingyu brought two glasses of cocktails over and picked up his own cup from the coaster, Lin Yi Then he asked: "Then what did she want to do when she came here, isn't she here to make trouble?"
"No," Ye Mingxin shook his head, "I just talked to her today. In fact, she has been in China for more than a month. She has also met Xiaoxu several times through the opportunity of a job, but she has never shown her own She said her identity, not to recognize her relatives, but to understand Xiaoxu."
Lin Yi thought for a while, "It sounds like a nice person."
Although Ye Mingxin didn’t want to admit this, Ye Mingxin nodded,
Not only is he good, he should be a very good person. However, this premise must be based on the fact that she is telling the truth. I don’t understand her. It's all her own words, maybe she is lying."
Lin Yi also nodded. This is all possible. It is better to be careful. No one wants to discriminate against others, but the virtue of her parents... really makes people have to guard against it.
Lin Yi asked again: "What did she tell you?"
"I didn't say too much, just talked about the purpose of her coming here, and then talked about her past life. I didn't ask her, she said it herself, it should be to eliminate my guard."
After speaking, Ye Mingxin took a sip of the cocktail, and then closed his mouth again.
...
Lin Yi almost didn't mention it in one breath. She asked this, didn't she just want Ye Mingxin to repeat everything that the person said to her? She would do well, and it would be over in a brief summary.
Lin Yi put the wine glass down, just about to speak, suddenly, a violent voice completed the task for her, "Who is it that you want to die in anxious death? What did she say? You said it completely, otherwise How can we help you analyze!"
Jiang Lingyu stood behind the bar with anxious and angry expressions. Lin Yi and Ye Mingxin looked up together and looked at her. After talking about this, Jiang Lingyu suddenly remembered that he seemed to be eavesdropping.
Jiang Lingyu was silent and quickly changed her words: "...Otherwise, how could Miss Lin help you analyze?"
Ye Mingxin didn't bother to take care of her. She looked at Lin Yi, just about to speak, lifted it up in one breath, and then turned her head, Jiang Lingyu was still standing opposite them, with her hand on her chin, as if she was listening carefully.
Ye Mingxin asked her: "Do you understand?"
Jiang Lingyu replied honestly: "I don't understand, it's okay, you said yours, I will ask if I don't understand it later."
Ye Mingxin: "..."
Forget it, just let her listen.
Although Jiang Lingyu is very emotional in terms of feelings, she still has the thoughts that she should have, and her mouth is very strict, as long as it is something she doesn't want to say, even Jiang Lingyan can't bridge the news from her mouth.
Ye Mingxin told her, "It's okay to listen to, but you can't spread a word, you know?"
"I know, I know," Jiang Lingyu readily agreed, "You can say it, I'm so anxious, what did she tell you?"
Ye Mingxin picked what Chloe said and said it again. When Chloe said, the purpose was not to sell miserably. She just wanted to tell Ye Mingxin that she had been a stranger to her parents for a long time, and she had never tried to hurt Han Feixu's family. Her parents hurt Han Feixu. , Hurt Zhong Manwei and Zhong Ya, the same, hurt her, and hurt her no less than they did.
She said this, but just wanted to convey this kind of information. In fact, the real situation is a hundred times worse than what she said. The purpose of Ye Mingxin's retelling is to let Lin Yi help her analyze and analyze whether she did it right. After Mary Carle came out, she always couldn't help but think of the family tree that Han Feixu drew that day. It was a long time ago. , What Han Feixu said to her.
The version Ye Mingxin said was more understatement than the version Chloe said, but after she finished speaking, both Lin Yi and Jiang Lingyu had the same expression on their faces, expressions of extreme sympathy.
Lin Yi: "Unfortunate people have their own misfortunes, this girl...hey."
Jiang Lingyu: "It's too pitiful. What did she do wrong? It's not easy to be able to grow up safely in that situation, and to grow up so well. You still won't let her see Han Feixu, you are too much!"
Ye Mingxin: "..."
Sometimes, Jiang Lingyu always made her want to knock her with a stick, Ye Mingxin looked at her speechlessly, "If her identity is okay, how could I not let her see Xiaoxu, the problem is, There is a problem with her identity, and I don’t want to do this, but what can I do?"
Jiang Lingyu curled her lips. In fact, this kind of situation is not uncommon around her. With two stinky money, men feel that they are invincible in the world and can despise morals and ethics. They can't control their own three ways, and finally they have a bunch of illegitimate children and daughters. Who doesn't know that illegitimate children are pitiful, but what can be done?
Jiang Lingyu stopped talking. Ye Mingxin looked at Lin Yi. Her attitude towards Lin Yi was always the same. At first, she didn't like Lin Yi, and now she still doesn't like Lin Yi. However, when something happened, She had to admit that Lin Yi was the most mature and assertive person among the people around her, and the advice she gave was always the right advice.
Lin Yi also looked at her, after considering it for a moment, she replied, "I think you should tell Han Feixu about this."
Ye Mingxin was not surprised by this answer, but she still frowned.
Lin Yi leaned against her, with a gentle and firm voice, "Ye Mingxin, there are some decisions that should be made by Han Feixu. You are her wife, but not her. No matter what decision you make for her now , That’s all your decision, don’t use the word for it, how do you know which decision is good for her? Maybe the decision you made will only make the situation worse."
"There is an idiom called break and stand up. You can't shrink back because one thing might frustrate Han Feixu. People grow up from frustration, and the wounds of suppuration and rotting should be removed. Rotten flesh, suffer the pain of gouging the flesh, and then it can be completely cured."
Lin Yi's expression was very gentle, and it was unclear whether Ye Mingxin listened, but Jiang Lingyu did.
She looked at Lin Yi admiringly, her eyes turned into stars.
Wow... What a great sister.
