Mrs. Yuan was always crying softly on the phone, not saying specifically what was wrong, just telling Yuan Yung to hurry ho.
Yuan Yung knew that sothing very serious must have happened, otherwise, her always strong mother would not be crying so sadly—
Ye Xu saw her face turn pale and asked worriedly, "What’s wrong?"
"...Sothing might have happened at ho. Sorry, I need to go back now, can you please tell him for !"
Ye Xu was displeased, pouting, "If you want to say sothing, say it yourself; I’m not a ssenger."
Yuan Yung really wanted to give him a bear paw slap, "You can’t even help with such a small favor; isn’t he your big brother?"
"Of course he is!" Ye Xu said boldly, "Precisely because he is, I shouldn’t go; if he knows you left without saying goodbye, he’ll definitely be upset."
He inexplicably used the word "upset," which seed at odds with his usual cold big brother!
Emotions really are terrifying—
"Will he... be upset?" Yuan Yung awkwardly fiddled with her wine glass, her gaze shifting, "Then I’ll send him a WeChat ssage, that should be fine!"
Ye Xu waved his chopsticks, "Up to you."
Yuan Yung breathed a sigh of relief and took out her phone to send Ye Zheng a brief WeChat ssage: [Beauty, I have to leave early, there’s sothing going on at ho, I’ll see you later, take good care of yourself!]
Previously, Ye Zheng always replied instantly when they texted.
But this ti, Yuan Yung never received a reply, even after she boarded the plane back to Hong Kong.
Could it be that he’s angry?
There wasn’t ti to think too much as Yuan Yung hurried ho with her luggage.
——
As soon as she entered, tearful-eyed Mrs. Yuan rushed to her, tightly hugging Yuan Yung without letting go.
"Mom, what on earth is going on?" Yuan Yung quickly pulled her to the living room, "Where’s Dad?"
Mrs. Yuan wiped her tears with a tissue, pointing to Yuan Yuqi’s room, "He’s inside with Yuqi."
"What’s wrong with Yuqi?" Yuan Yung felt a foreboding.
"I’m not sure what happened, but out of nowhere, that Huo Junting wants to call off the engagent, Yuqi begged him, but he refused. Later Yuqi ca back and in a mont of despair, tried... to commit suicide. Luckily your dad found her early, otherwise our Yuqi, Yuqi... would’ve been gone."
Suicide.
Gone.
Fire surged in Yuan Yung’s heart. She released Mrs. Yuan’s hand, "Where is Yuan Yuqi now?"
"Since coming ho from the hospital, she’s been lying in bed without eating or drinking... She lost so much blood and is already weak. If this continues..."
"Knowing you’re busy with work, we didn’t plan to have you co back. But your dad and I were at a loss, thinking the bond you sisters share since childhood might allow you to persuade her not to tread down a dark path."
Yuan Yung couldn’t bear her mother’s tears; at the orphanage, she understood the complexities of human warmth early, and only after being adopted did she experience the warmth of family.
Though she was not their biological daughter, they treated her as their own, giving her whatever Yuan Yuqi had.
"Mom, don’t be upset anymore, I’ll go in and see her, and find out what’s really going on?"
Mrs. Yuan wiped her tears, "Okay, Yung, really...sorry for the trouble."
"Mom, what are you talking about! I’m your daughter too, Yuqi is my sister; no matter what, I’ll take care of her—"
Mrs. Yuan finally smiled, "Mm, if only Yuqi were half as sensible as you."
...
After entering the room, Yuan Yung let Father Yuan leave first, deciding to have a heartfelt talk with Yuan Yuqi.
Upon hearing the sound, Yuan Yuqi suddenly sprang up from the bed, and angrily shouted, "Yuan Yung, get out! It’s all you, all your fault!"
