Chapter 103 -103: The Mastermind Turns Out to Be… Her Mother
Tang Yifei hurriedly said, “It’s Ye Sihan’s father’s caregiver.”
“Right, that’s him. Just ends up climbing onto someone’s bed while watching over them.”
“Impossible!” Tang Yu’s body trembled slightly, unsure whether it was from anger or because she was flustered.
“All you know is what your mom told you. Would she tell you the truth?” Tang Fulin sneered. “Cut the crap. No money, no end to this.”
Tang Yu loathed his shamelessness, yet she had to give him fifty thousand yuan to buy some peace.
After leaving the hospital, she stood by the roadside, her body feeling cold all over.
She shouldn’t listen to Tang Fulin, right? She knew all too well what kind of person he was.
He would do anything for money.
But… everything she knew really did come from Yu Zhaohui.
Tang Yu stood there, lost in thought for a while, but finally decided to check it out.
To see who truly lied.
In her heart, she believed Yu Zhaohui hadn’t lied. After all, from childhood, her mother had been the kindest, most gentle person to her.
She was going to investigate, just to slap Tang Fulin’s face, so he wouldn’t spout nonsense every time he saw her.
Tang Yu felt terrible. She should’ve gone back to rest after leaving the drama crew.
But she endured it and took a taxi to the hospital where Yu Zhaohui used to work.
That was a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, which had been open for decades and was quite large in the capital.
Tang Yu remembered, when she was very little and no one was at home to look after her, Yu Zhaohui would bring her to the hospital, working while taking care of her.
She would stay in the nurses’ break room to sleep, do homework, and eat.
All day.
That was her most precious memory after losing her mother…
When she arrived at the hospital, she went straight to the nurses’ station.
The nurses she saw were all unfamiliar faces; after all those years, not everyone would stay in the job for so long.
So, how should she go about the investigation?
While she was at a loss, she heard someone call out for the head nurse.
Tang Yu looked over and saw a woman in a nurse’s uniform walk over to the station, discussing the vacancy of beds in the wards.
“Hello.”
The head nurse looked up, seeing the unfamiliar young girl beside her, “Whom are you looking for?”
“That… are you Aunt Zhou?”
“You are…?”
“I am Yu Zhaohui’s daughter, Tang Yu. When I was little, you even bought me potato chips to eat.”
Zhou Jin was initially stunned, but then she remembered, looking at her with an astonished expression, “You are Xiaoyu? You’ve grown up so much. My goodness, I almost didn’t recognize you.”
“Yes.”
“Why have you come here? Don’t tell me you’re looking for your mother? She left this job a long time ago,” Zhou Jin said.
“I came to see you. There are some things I’d like to ask you.”
“Sure, come with me.”
Inside the nurses’ break room.
Zhou Jin offered to pour her water, but Tang Yu stopped her, “No need, thank you. I just have some questions to ask, and I’ll leave once they are answered.”
“What do you want to ask?”
“Did my mother use to work as a caregiver for someone named Ye Xianghua?”
Zhou Jin didn’t expect her to ask about that, “Yes, and afterward, didn’t she marry that man? Quite a wealthy one.”
While saying this, Tang Yu noticed a flicker of an unusual look in Zhou Jin’s eyes and immediately asked, “At that time, Ye Xianghua wasn’t divorced yet. Did my mother break up someone’s family, right?”
Zhou Jin didn’t really want to discuss such matters with a child, “Why bring this up out of the blue? She should be very happy now. There’s no point in asking about the past.”
“Someone said my mom ruined someone else’s family and caused the death of Ye Xianghua’s wife. I just want to know the truth.”
Tang Yu left the hospital feeling dizzy and light-headed.
The truth Zhou Jin revealed to her was unbearable.
‘When your mom was selected as Ye Xianghua’s caretaker, she was eloquent and quickly became familiar with him. For the hospital, the meticulous care for a patient would reflect the proactive work attitude of an employee, but nobody expected the situation to develop the way it did. Ye Xianghua’s wife entered the room and saw them embracing each other, and it became known to everyone in the hospital. The director had no choice but to persuade your mom to resign. Everyone thought it would be over by then, but later, your mom stayed by Ye Xianghua’s side as a ‘friend’, and anyone with eyes could see the nature of their relationship. It continued until Ye Xianghua was discharged, and your mom was never seen again. Only later was it heard that Ye Xianghua’s wife had died from an illness.’
How could it have been an illness? Wasn’t it a suicide?
You can’t tell outsiders it was a suicide, right?
Tang Yu’s mind was filled with the ‘truth’ Yu Zhaohui had told her.
She said she met Ye Xianghua after Zhao Xing had passed away.
No, there must be some misunderstanding here.
How could her mother be someone who caused the destruction and death of another’s family?
She didn’t believe it!
She took out her phone and called Yu Zhaohui.
“Hello, my precious daughter, what do you need from mom? Are you missing me?”
“Did you seduce Ye Xianghua and cause Zhao Xing to commit suicide?”
“What? Xiaoyu, of course not.”
“I looked into it! Initially, you were Ye Xianghua’s caregiver, and then Zhao Xing saw you embracing Ye Xianghua, right?” Tang Yu couldn’t contain her emotional agitation, her hand holding the phone trembling.
“That was a misunderstanding, Xiaoyu, don’t believe what others say,” Yu Zhaohui denied.
“One misunderstanding, two misunderstandings, does everyone misunderstand you?” Tang Yu challenged. “Tell me the truth, did you or did you not!”
“Matters of the heart can’t be clearly defined in a word or two,” Yu Zhaohui said. “But I really never intended to break up anyone’s marriage.”
Tang Yu’s hands fell limp, the call still ongoing; she couldn’t make out what Yu Zhaohui was saying anymore, her mind was a blank.
So, this was the truth.
That’s why Lin Shuhuan became emotionally unstable at the sight of her.
That’s why she had been tormented by Ye Sihan to this extent.
Ye Sihan’s parents truly had their family ruined and lives lost because of her mother.
It was all what she deserved; there was never any ‘being wronged’…
Tang Yu staggered and sat down on the steps, tears streaming down unstoppably.
Not just mentally exhausted, but physically exhausted as well.
She lifted her hand, the phone still in the middle of a call, with Yu Zhaohui continuously calling out her name.
Phone pressed to her ear, Tang Yu said, “You go and apologize to Ye Sihan!”
“Where are you now? I’m coming to find you.”
Yu Zhaohui was out for afternoon tea, and after about ten minutes, she arrived at the hospital entrance. Seeing Tang Yu sitting on the ground, she walked over, helplessly pulling her up and hustling her into the car.
The car sped away.
Dinner time was almost upon them.
Yu Zhaohui took it upon herself to bring Tang Yu to a high-end restaurant.
The private room was booked in advance.
Seeing that Tang Yu was not in a good state, Yu Zhaohui ordered several dishes, then asked the server to leave.
“I ordered your favorite dishes, don’t be upset,” she said.
Tang Yu looked at her with eyes that were cold and alien. “Why did you do that? Do you realize, because of you, Ye Sihan’s family fell apart? He had a very hard life before.”
Other things aside, just the fact of being a Male Escort, if it’s not a last resort, who would do it?
And the culprit turned out to be… her own mother!
