Chapter 56 - Explanation
Chapter 56: Explanation
Yu Yao carefully recalled some blurry scenes that appeared in her mind. When Yu Wan was showing off to the original Yu Yao, she did not seem to have said directly that she received dividends from the company. Instead, she had used ambiguous words to mislead the original Yu Yao into thinking so.
Now that Yu Yao figured out the truth of the matter, she frowned in confusion.
“Is there something wrong with Yu Wan? Me, the biological daughter, has already returned to the Yu family. No matter how Yu Wan tries to sow discord between us, will you guys really ignore Mother’s wishes and the views of the world to cross over me, the biological daughter, and give the shares to Yu Wan?”
Yu Lang’s heart ached. He recalled in his previous life, when everyone had been disheartened by Yu Yao, they had indeed thought of handing the portion of shares that their family had prepared for Yu Yao to Yu Wan. Later, it was precisely because their mother, Chen Lin, had strongly objected and even threatened them with her life that their father and the three of them had changed their minds.
At that time, Yu Wan probably did not expect the shares that she had almost received to fly away like that. She had quarreled with the family for a long time.
They should have seen Yu Wan’s true colors from that time onwards, but because of their usual train of thought, Yu Wan’s past actions made them trust her deeply. That was what had led to the Yu family’s tragedy in the end.
After his rebirth, Yu Lang had sworn that he must prevent such a tragic ending from happening. Hence, he would definitely not let the misunderstanding between Yu Yao and them grow deeper.
Yu Lang lowered his head slightly, his gaze meeting Yu Yao’s. He looked exceptionally serious.
“Yaoyao, Yu Wan is just like that. She has been trying to grab onto something that doesn’t belong to her, that’s why she said those words in front of you. But you have to believe that even if you have only returned to us for a few months, we won’t tilt the scales towards her for no reason.”
Perhaps there was some kind of magic in Yu Lang that could convince others to believe him. Even if Yu Yao had always had a grudge against him, she could not help but want to believe every word he said this time.
The alienation and wariness in her body dissipated a lot under Yu Lang’s gaze.
Yu Lang seemed to have sensed Yu Yao’s attitude, so his expression became even more serious and sincere.
“Furthermore, we have already discovered that Yu Wan is not as innocent and harmless as she seemed in the past. Of course, we won’t trust her unconditionally while creating misunderstandings with you. What happened in the past was indeed our fault. I know that nothing can make up for the harm you have suffered in the past…”
“But Yaoyao, I hope you realize that Yu Heng, Yu Jue, and I are trying our best to treat you well. We won’t ask you to repay us with the same feelings. I only hope that you can be like our real sister and enjoy everything we do for you without any misgivings.”
Yu Yao stared blankly at Yu Lang in front of her. Suddenly, an unbearable emotion welled up in her heart. She didn’t realize that her eyes were filled with a layer of mist. She just couldn’t help but voice her thoughts…
“If Yu Yao could hear your confession, she would definitely be very happy.”
Yu Lang’s heart ached. He instantly recalled the discussion he had with Yu Heng and Yu Jue. He understood that the other “Yu Yao” that was mentioned was a different personality that had been removed.
The previous “Yu Yao” would be touched by Yu Lang’s sincerity, but the current Yu Yao was not used to accepting their kindness at all. In the end, it was still them as brothers who had hurt their own younger sister.
The huge apartment was silent for a long time. Both of them seemed to need some time to sort out their feelings.
Fortunately, they were more rational than emotional people. After silently gathering their emotions, they could pretend that the previous conversation had never happened.
After that, Yu Lang and Yu Yao discussed some business matters regarding the face-swapping technology.
This was originally part of Yu Yao’s plan. She initially thought that if the Yu family was unwilling to interfere in her fight with that mysterious evil organization, she would use the informational technology and her knowledge of the internet to find partners for herself. However, she hadn’t expected Yu Lang to support her decision without any hesitation.
When Yu Yao returned home and lay on the bed, her emotions still felt a little complicated.
She could not help but recall the words Yu Lang had said today. She also could not help but recall the bits and pieces of moments that Yu Heng and Yu Jue had spent with her. They seemed to be working hard to please her.
If they didn’t know each other, then Yu Yao was sure that boys who cared and protected her this much were definitely pursuing her passionately. However, those two were her biological brothers, so their actions seemed to be making up for something.
Were they trying to make up for the sibling relationship that had been empty for 18 years? Or were they trying to make up for the mistakes they had made to the original Yu Yao?
Yu Yao did not want to forgive them on behalf of the original Yu Yao, but everyone’s feelings were beyond their control.
