Chapter 150 He Loves You, And Only You
Managing people is a profound art, and she naturally would have managed well herself.
Employing others might not yield good results.
The old masters from Yunxi Lane couldn’t integrate with the existing embroidery staff of Ya Garden, which would be counterproductive.
Ren Ye said earnestly, "What are your thoughts on Yunxi Lane and the Chu Family Embroidery Manual?"
"I don’t have any particular thoughts. My initial interest in Yunxi Lane was only because my mother lived there as a child, and I had hoped to bring her back to Jiangnan someday to let her rest there permanently. However, after interacting with Lady Chu and Yunhui, I realized that my mother might not have been happy during her time in Yunxi Lane, which made me hesitant."
"I realized that everything I did was motivated by my guilt towards her, not by her actual feelings. If she had been fond of this place, she wouldn’t have gone all those years without any thoughts of it."
Ren Ye couldn’t help but ask further, "She never mentioned Jiangnan and Yunxi Lane at all?"
"No. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known about her childhood in Yunxi Lane until you mentioned it. I thought she grew up in the Fu Family’s main house," Fu Bing said softly. "My mother rarely talked about the past. I am very observant, yet I never noticed any unhappiness in her all those years. On the contrary, she seemed happy every day."
Ren Ye fell silent.
Everyone thought that Fu Ya, having left Jiangnan for an unfamiliar place, would face continuous setbacks and return soon.
Instead, she didn’t face any obstacles and was doing well, raising her daughter excellently.
Ren Ye said, "Perhaps your presence made her feel everything was worthwhile."
