1070 Otherwise, Don’t Blame Me for Being Rude
At this moment, Mei Hanqing was eerily calm, so calm that it sent chills down the spine!
Especially those eyes, devoid of any vitality, like a dark black hole, as if everything withered and perished because of it.
Looking at Mei Hanqing now, Ye Xunhuan felt a sharp pain in his heart.
He could clearly sense that Mei Hanqing’s heart was in great pain.
"Han Qing, I..."
Ye Xunhuan wanted to explain something to Mei Hanqing, but he didn’t know how to do so. In the end, he heaved a sigh and nodded.
"When did you find out?" Mei Hanqing asked again as she saw Ye Xunhuan nodding.
"It’s been a while since I met her at the orphanage!"
At this point, Ye Xunhuan did not hide anything and told Mei Hanqing what he knew: "She went there to find the old director!"
"Originally, the old director and I wanted to tell you, but she begged us not to tell you. She was afraid you couldn’t accept it..."
"So you just never told me?"
"Han Qing..."
Ye Xunhuan had just opened his mouth when Su Mingxuan also caught up. Upon seeing Ye Xunhuan and Mei Hanqing, Su Mingxuan immediately called out, "Sis..."
Upon hearing Su Mingxuan’s voice, Ye Xunhuan had to swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue and slowly turned his head to look at Su Mingxuan.
At the same time, Mei Hanqing also stiffly turned to look at Su Mingxuan.
In an instant, Su Mingxuan ran to Mei Hanqing’s side: "Sis, I know you can’t accept all of this at once, can’t accept me as your brother..."
Looking at Su Mingxuan in front of her, Mei Hanqing felt a surge of complex emotions in her heart.
This was her brother, her own brother!
Once she had longed for a complete family, but as time passed, this longing slowly faded away.
Time is something that can take away hatred, take away hope, and erase everything.
Of course, it can also give you hope.
"Sister, no matter what, escaping won’t solve any problem. I asked Mom to let me come to Jiangzhong City because I wanted to tell you, you’re not alone, you have family!" Su Mingxuan said earnestly, "Before we siblings couldn’t be together, but I hope in the future, we can be!"
"If you’re bullied, your brother can stand up for you. If you have something on your mind, you can come to me. You..."
As Su Mingxuan’s warm words rang in her ears, the complexities within Mei Hanqing’s heart turned to bewilderment.
She yearned for all of this, yet she was afraid of all of this.
It all came too suddenly.
At this moment, Jian Yunong also caught up.
Now, Jian Yunong no longer had the radiance she once did, appearing utterly dejected and heartbroken!
"Han Qing, Mom was wrong, Mom begs you, Mom knows you must hate me, Mom doesn’t ask for your forgiveness, but Mingxuan did nothing wrong, you..."
Looking at Jian Yunong, who was close and full of tears, Mei Hanqing’s lifeless eyes slowly revealed deep sorrow and exhaustion!
In one’s life, perhaps one may possess many things.
But family, parents, children, are almost always things everyone has.
Yet this universal possession seemed incredibly foreign to Mei Hanqing!
Even extremely extravagant!
Once, when Mei Hanqing just learned to speak and walk, she tugged at the old director’s garment, crying and yelling for her mom and dad, while the old director, holding back tears, carried her around the orphanage until she cried herself to sleep!
Repeatedly, day after day, year after year, until she grew up and began to understand the world and her own life, she never uttered "Mom" and "Dad" again!
These words thus became a luxury.
Because she didn’t have them, she couldn’t find them either.
Even though she never called for Mom and Dad, it did not mean she didn’t feel pain or hate; the pain and hate just grew numb over the years, accepted, and buried deeper inside!
Especially when she faced difficulties, endured humiliation, or felt lost, the pain and hate became clearer.
But life is like a forced submission; if you can’t resist, you must learn to enjoy it. Fate is like a whore, strangling you into submission!
Mei Hanqing gave in.
She no longer fantasized about finding her parents or them coming to find her.
What she needed to do was live well, strive well.
One day, she could encounter them unexpectedly, and Mei Hanqing could stand before them confidently and say, "Even without you, I, Mei Hanqing, have lived splendidly!"
And the truth is, Mei Hanqing did just that. Now, her life was indeed splendid, with a successful career, becoming a department manager in her twenties, earning millions annually!
Especially after meeting Ye Xunhuan and establishing a relationship with him, Mei Hanqing just wanted to live well with Ye Xunhuan, even if it meant being a secret lover, she would quietly live with him.
But of all times, her mother appeared, and her brother appeared.
Moreover, her biological mother turned out to be the real estate queen of Su Hang, and she was actually the eldest daughter of the Su family in Su Hang.
She had finally found a peaceful and warm life, but now, it seemed like it would be turned upside down.
At this moment, Mei Hanqing wanted to confront Jian Yunong, asking why she wasn’t there when she was at her most painful, tired, and helpless?
Why did she come now when she wanted to live a peaceful life!
Simultaneously, she also wanted to slap Jian Yunong hard, tell her to leave, but she found she couldn’t do it, really couldn’t do it.
Especially seeing the heartbroken Jian Yunong now, for some reason, Mei Hanqing’s heart hurt a lot!
Decades of resentment turned into a sigh at this moment.
No recognition, no questioning, and no scolding or hitting.
Mei Hanqing turned and left again, as if none of this concerned her.
Watching Mei Hanqing’s departing figure, Jian Yunong couldn’t help but cry out, "Han Qing..."
Ye Xunhuan sighed deeply with a bitter face. It seemed that Jian Yunong’s desire to reconcile with Mei Hanqing was not so simple, and the knot between this mother and daughter wasn’t easily untied.
But then again, over twenty years of suffering, bitterness, and resentment aren’t easy to dissolve, are they?
Glancing at the heartbroken Jian Yunong, Ye Xunhuan sighed again: "Miss Jian, take your young one home!"
As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan seemed to think of something and added, "I’ll take good care of Han Qing, don’t worry!"
"And stop chasing, or else I won’t be polite!"
With that, Ye Xunhuan hurriedly chased after Mei Hanqing once more.
Jian Yunong stood there in a daze, as if she had lost her soul!
