Wen Muchi held her shoulders and squeezed them gently:

"Are you okay?"

Wen Shiqi came back to his senses and slowly shook his head...

"Wanna see?"

Wen Muchi handed the wooden box in his hand to her.

He was just worried that Li Ruyun would do something bad to Wen Shiqi and that there was something bad hidden in the box, so he took the box first.

Now it seems redundant.

Wen Shiqi did not take the wooden box, but seemed a little nervous.

Wen Muchi saw through her thoughts and took the wooden box back:

"Let's go back and take a closer look?"

Wen Shiqi then nodded.

The two returned to the house together.

In the living room, Mr. Ye sat there, drinking tea, seemingly nonchalant.

However, as soon as there was a noise at the door, he immediately put down the teacup and looked towards the door.

This impatient look...

Butler Yang standing behind him couldn't help but smile...

Seeing that the people who came in were indeed Wen Shiqi and Wen Muchi, he immediately asked:

"How was it? You weren't bullied, were you?"

As he spoke, he did not forget to look Wen Shiqi up and down.

I felt a little depressed and heavy because of what Li Ruyun said just now, but after seeing Mr. Ye like this, I felt a lot more relaxed.

Wen Shiqi smiled:

"It's okay. I remember what grandpa said. If anyone dares to bully me, I will definitely scream."

After hearing what she said, Mr. Ye saw that she really didn't seem to have any problems, so he relaxed and asked:

"What does that woman want from you?"

His tone wasn't very good.

Obviously, just as Wen Muchi thought at the beginning, he thought that Li Ruyun came to Wen Shiqi to plead for mercy.

"she……"

Wen Shiqi paused slightly, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should tell the truth to Mr. Ye.

The main thing was that she didn't know whether Mr. Ye would be so emotionally agitated that he would be unable to bear it when he heard about her mother's past.

However, her hesitation immediately made Old Master Ye see the problem.

"Don't hide it from me."

He said seriously, his eyes full of disapproval.

Seeing this, Wen Shiqi had no choice but to confess.

But before answering, she gave Mr. Ye a shot of prevention:

"Then Grandpa, we have to make it clear first. No matter what you hear later, don't get too excited.

“You have to control your emotions.”

Old Master Ye's hand tightened, he vaguely guessed something, and finally nodded.

Wen Shiqi then slowly told her what Li Ruyun had just told her.

After hearing this, the whole living room fell into silence.

Not to mention Mr. Ye, the person involved, even Butler Yang, who was a bystander, fell silent after listening to Wen Shiqi's story.

Obviously, they didn't expect the truth of the matter to be like this.

For the sake of friends and their orphans, one can bravely sacrifice one's own children.

This is not something that everyone can do.

What Mr. Ye didn't expect was that... Shu Hui had actually encountered such a terrible thing outside.

But...why doesn't she come home?

No matter who the person who wants to arrest her is.

As long as she returns home, the Ye family will definitely protect her.

Although the Ye family is low-key, they will never allow themselves to be bullied!

How could she...why was she so stupid?

Why didn't she go home? Why didn't she come to him as her father?

"Tell me... does your mother hate me?"

Old Master Ye murmured slowly, his eyes were red uncontrollably and his hands were shaking uncontrollably.

This was a sign that he was emotional.

Wen Shiqi was worried that after hearing those words, Mr. Ye would lose control of his emotions, and she noticed it almost the moment Mr. Ye behaved strangely.

Her heart tightened immediately, and she quickly stepped forward and squatted in front of Old Master Ye, tightly grasping his hand on his knee, and said:

"No, why would Grandpa think so?

“You’re worrying too much.

"Calm down, you promised me that you would control your emotions no matter what you heard."

Butler Yang at the side also had a nervous look on his face. He immediately took out his cell phone, his eyes fixed closely on Mr. Ye's situation.

As soon as Mr. Ye felt a little unwell, he would immediately call Doctor Liu to come over.

After hearing what Wen Shiqi said, Mr. Ye's distracted eyes finally regained focus.

He nodded slowly, murmuring:

"Yes, I promised the girl, I need to stay calm, stay calm..."

As if to remind himself, Old Master Ye kept repeating the word "calm".

At least, as he murmured, his emotions really stabilized.

However, his hands still held Wen Shiqi tightly:

"Is what you just said true?

"You said your mother didn't hate me, is that true? Are you sure?

"How did you know?

"Shu Hui...will she really not hate me?"

He held on to what Wen Shiqi had just said as if he had grabbed the last straw, trying to get a positive answer from her.

Wen Shiqi didn't know what had happened between his mother and grandfather back then.

However, looking at the fragile and uneasy look of Mr. Ye in front of her, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

She thought, if her mother were still alive, she would definitely not blame her grandfather, right?

"Will not."

She affirmed, and held Old Man Ye's hand with greater force.

Mr. Ye's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really?"

Wen Shiqi did not hesitate, and his tone was still very sure:

"Of course it's true. Maybe I'll be a little angry at first, but how can I really hate it?"

She knew that Mr. Ye needed her affirmation now.

There cannot be a moment of hesitation.

"Then...why didn't she come to me? Why didn't she ask us for help when she got into trouble?"

Old Master Ye asked in a trembling voice.

Wen Shiqi suddenly understood why Old Man Ye asked this question after hearing what she said just now, and why he suspected that his mother resented him.

“I don’t know what happened back then.

"Why didn't my mother come home?

"But I think there must be some reason why she can't go home.

“Or maybe she didn’t want to implicate her family.

"But I believe she must be thinking about home."

She held Mr. Ye's hand and said seriously.

She thought that something unexpected must have happened that year, which prevented her mother from returning home for help.

It was not like what my grandfather thought, that my mother refused to ask the Ye family for help out of resentment.

“Is that so… So that’s how it is…”

Old Master Ye murmured, but his expression had obviously eased a lot.

Wen Shiqi knew that he believed her words.

Of course, she really felt from the bottom of her heart that things were just as she said.

Seeing her determined look, Old Master Ye felt much more at ease.

Then he remembered what he said about Li Ruyun, and couldn't help asking:

"Can you believe what she said?"

He wanted to ask whether Li Ruyun said this on purpose to clear herself because she saw that the truth had been exposed.
