Zhao Xiaoxin and Lin Yuzhe understood that it was better for Zhao Sulan to remain silent than to lie.
Lying would only make ng Chuyue hate her even more.
It would be counterproductive.
Neither of them said anything else, each leaving five hundred yuan before departing.
On the way, Zhao Xiaoxin asked Lin Yuzhe, "What do you think, if we asked Sister directly, would she tell us?"
Lin Yuzhe shook his head, "No, she wouldn’t. If she could tell, she would have by now. Even if she wouldn’t usually say, when we invited her over and she refused, she should have said sothing. Since she doesn’t want to ntion it, let’s not pry. She’s always been reliable; there must be a good reason. Let’s not make her more upset."
Zhao Xiaoxin imdiately laughed, "Right, you’re right. From now on, I won’t obsess over this anymore."
Zhao Xiaoxin and Lin Yuzhe might not be troubled anymore, but Zhao Sulan was becoming increasingly entangled because of this conversation.
What could be the reason that ng Chuyue wouldn’t even tell Zhao Xiaoxin and Lin Yuzhe? It must be sothing serious.
So, what was it?
She had to figure it out.
After much thought, she finally made up her mind to talk with Han Zheng and have him tell her the answer.
Han Zheng was very close with ng Chuyue; he must know the reason.
As soon as she felt a little better, she had the caretaker send a ssage to Han Zheng, saying she wanted to et him.
She thought Han Zheng would refuse, that she might have to ask several tis, but Han Zheng ca as soon as he received the ssage.
He even brought so high-quality fruits as a gift, though not many, indicating that his visit was a formality rather than out of concern.
Zhao Sulan noticed this and said to Han Zheng with a bitter smile, "I thought you wouldn’t agree to see ."
Han Zheng said indifferently, "You’ve always been self-aware, so I thought there must be sothing important for you to want to see , and that’s why I ca."
Zhao Sulan sighed, "You’re right, there is sothing very important. I want to ask you, why does Chuyue hate so?"
Before coming to see Zhao Sulan, Han Zheng had called ng Chuyue and followed her advice.
ng Chuyue had told him that he could explain the past life’s events to Zhao Sulan by pretending it was a "dream."
He hesitated for a mont and then said lightly, "Chuyue told that after she first t you, she had a dream, in which you succeeded in scheming against her for one of her kidneys.
ng Wanhua died of anger because of it, and as she left in haste, she didn’t have the chance to tell her the truth about her origins.
She thought Lin Youdong truly was her father, so when you said you’d take her back to the Lin family to nurse her health as compensation, she agreed.
But what you claid to be compensation was actually just keeping her as a kidney donor reserve. Later, when you saw her culinary skills, you treated her like a free maid, and she was ever so grateful to you."
Zhao Sulan was shocked, "...It was just a dream, can it be taken seriously?"
Han Zheng nodded, "Yes, indeed, it was just a dream, nothing actually happened, she knows that, so she didn’t retaliate against you. But every ti she sees you, she’s reminded of the dream, and it scares her...
Zhao Sulan, maybe you don’t think it’s a big deal, but have you ever considered what kind of life Chuyue has been living in the ng family?
You treated Lin Fangwei well because you believed she was your own, but what about Chuyue? In the beginning, ng Wanhua knew that she was the daughter of you, her enemy. How do you think she treated her, do I need to say more?"
Zhao Sulan’s eyes widened, "ng Wanhua was pretty nice to Chuyue, wasn’t she? Otherwise, why would she have gone to such lengths to prevent us from letting her donate a kidney?"
"Why? Obviously, because she was dying from a terminal illness and worried about going to hell after death, she wanted to atone for her sins. What else could it be?
Don’t tell that you’re unaware that Chuyue was always left in the countryside, subject to beatings and scoldings, working to the bone..."
"I..."
Zhao Sulan blinked guiltily, "...I knew she lived in the countryside, but I thought... it wouldn’t be too hard..."
