Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

“I want to ask you. Why was Emma being chased out of Tang En’s home when she was born back then?”

Emma was born with differently colored pupils. There was an anomaly in the weather back then. There was sudden thunder and lightning for no reason. When the old lady from Tang En’s family heard that her granddaughter was born, she was very happy. She hurried to the hospital to see Emma. She was met with an accident and unfortunately died.

When Emma was born, her pupils were of different colors when she opened her eyes. She gave a fright to the doctor, nurses, and her family members. Differently colored pupils were a recessive inheritance of the European Ye Family. There was a daughter of the European Ye Family’s ancestors who also had different colored pupils. She brought an extremely big calamity to the European Ye Family, nearly annihilating the entire European Ye Family. Their vitality was greatly damaged. Furthermore, the European Ye Family had killed too much back then, resulting in a saying that their descendants were cursed.

Ye Wen also had differently colored pupils. It was only that no one else, besides the owner of the house and her brother, Ye Wentian, knew about Ye Wen’s differently colored pupils back then. This matter was hidden very well. When Ye Wen was one month old, her differently colored pupils were gone. Thereafter, they never appeared again.

The people in the Ye Family were also anxious and fearful back then, but the birth of Ye Wen brought prosperity to the Ye Family—not calamity. Hence, the people in the Ye Family did not take the curse to heart.

When it was Emma’s turn, the situation was very different. Tang En’s ancestors were feng shui masters. They strongly believed in feng shui and life characters. One could say that they were superstitious. They also heard of differently colored pupils in the Ye Family being cursed.

As his biological sister also had different colored pupils and went missing when she was two years old, the people spread rumors back then that Ye Wentian personally killed his daughter in order not to affect the Ye Family’s bloodline and the ancestors’ prosperity.

The Tang En old lady died when Emma was born. It confirmed the rumor of Emma being cursed even more. When she was born, she caused a very intense dispute, and she still had different colored pupils all the way until she was a month old. The situation in Tang En’s family suddenly had a sharp turn. The people in the family committed crimes one after another. It could be said that it was an unlucky year. Hence, the old master decided to send Emma out to be raised.

He had chosen to believe in feng shui and chose a little castle for Emma to stay. If it was not because of the Ye Family’s influence back then and that Ye Wen was very favored in the European Ye Family, Tang En’s family might not even be willing to let Emma stay.

“Hence, she was born with differently colored pupils?”

“Right.”

“Have you… seen her before? When she was young?”

Ye Junchen shook his head. “I was not familiar. After Auntie died, our family practically cut off all ties with Tang En’s family. They brought Emma back. At that time, her differently colored pupils were gone. As she was raised outside since she was young, she did not have many friendly relations with us. This was until Emma went to secondary school and became friends with one of the boys in our family. As my father doted on Auntie, they resumed their relationship.”

“Have you seen Emma’s differently colored pupils?”

“No,” Ye Junchen said. “The number of times that I saw Emma was not many. During Chinese New Year or other festivities, she would occasionally come over to stay for a while. Ye Huanhuan was on better terms with her. The few of us brothers could not get along with Ye Huanhuan. However, the differently colored pupils in our family were invisible. When Auntie was born, she had differently colored pupils, but it was gone when she was one month old. From then on, she did not have it again. My sister stopped having it when she was one year old; thereafter, she also had normal black eyes.”

Ye Tingyun held his wine glass and gripped it tightly. Ye Junchen felt strange. “Why are you so anxious about Emma’s matter? Why do you want to find out so clearly? In theory, she is also considered your sister. It is only that the bloodline is very far away.”

Although the Ye Family and the European Ye Family were one family in name, actually their bloodlines were also very, very far. Their relationship as relatives had already exceeded five generations.

“Was it people from Tang En’s family who set fire to the little castle back then?”
