Chapter 581: Change of 581 thoughts
In her previous life, Ye Jiu had suffered immensely due to her parents’ preference for sons over daughters, which is why she genuinely detested those who couldn’t even treat their own children as human beings.
Ye Jiu offered many words of comfort, but although Ye Gaosheng verbally agreed, his pale face showed no sign of change.
Ye Jiu knew that Ye Gaosheng might appear carefree and indifferent, but he tended to take everything to heart, shouldering all the blame and letting it weigh him down until he could barely breathe.
If his family had been understanding, it would have been slightly better, but with Zhao’s recent outburst, it was clear that Ye Gaosheng, who already felt immensely guilty, now had an even heavier heart.
Even though she did not know exactly what Zhao had said, by looking at Ye Gaosheng’s current state, she could guess that Zhao definitely hadn’t said anything nice.
Originally, Ye Jiu had planned to share part of the compensation she received from Prince Jing with the first and second branches of the family as restitution, encouraging them to look for other ways forward. But now, Ye Jiu no longer wished to do so.
The things were hers from the start, giving them out was a favor, not giving was her right, but she was annoyed with people who clearly gained an advantage and ended up treating it as their due.
However, knowing her fourth brother’s state of mind, ignoring him entirely might just lead him to suppress himself to death.
Thus, she needed to come up with a way to keep him busy, so that he wouldn’t have the time to think about other superfluous matters.
Ye Jiu comforted Ye Gaosheng a few more times and just as she left, Ye Wenyu came over.
Looking at his uncle who had seemed fine just a moment ago, but now appeared exhausted, Ye Wenyu felt very guilty, "Fourth Uncle, I’m sorry, my parents..."
Ye Gaosheng gave a bitter smile, "Wenyu ah, you’re a good kid. Fourth Uncle is fine, don’t feel pressured, it’s getting late, hurry back and rest."
