Chapter 42 -42: That kind of torment is very uncomfortable
“How could that be? The only daughter of the Ye Family can only be you. As for me, I’m an outsider.”
Tang Yu didn’t feel any glory, instead, she felt a chill all over her body.
The terror of this man was so deep and immeasurable, too frightening.
On the way, Tang Yu was thrown out of the car.
She stood there blankly for a long while before she came to her senses, watching the figures coming and going on the street, clear yet blurry.
Because she was beautiful and well-dressed, and looked pitiful, she attracted a lot of attention.
Tang Yu took out her phone to call a taxi; at that moment, Yu Zhaohui called. She walked to the side to answer.
Before she could speak, Yu Zhaohui’s eager voice came through, “What on earth happened? Didn’t you used to work at KING Group? How did you end up sleeping with Ye Sihan? How will others look at me and your Uncle Ye? Where will our face be then? This is wrong!”
Tang Yu had never felt there was anything wrong.
She had four adorable children; her children were her whole world, her happiness, the balm for her wounded soul—even if they were born from a one-night stand, she felt it was worth it.
And now, without anyone else telling her, she knew it was wrong.
Because her mother had married the father of Ye Sihan, becoming a married couple.
In the eyes of others, this was not permissible.
But what could she do? All this was unknown to her before!
While blindly walking forward, Tang Yu listened to Yu Zhaohui’s protesting voice on the phone, “Immediately make your boundaries clear with Ye Sihan! You cannot have any more involvement with him! Your mother will find you a suitable, gentle, and capable husband in the future!”
“After all those people saw what Ye Sihan did to me at your wedding anniversary, who would dare to want me?” Tang Yu retorted.
She didn’t want to get married, but to make Yu Zhaohui back off.
To let her know that no one would want a woman with such a messy relationship to become their daughter-in-law or wife. To let her know that in all of Kyoto, there were few people who dared to compete with Ye Sihan for a woman.
“As long as you want to, your Uncle Ye and I will help you,” Yu Zhaohui still naively thought.
“Do you know the power Ye Sihan holds in Kyoto?” Tang Yu countered. “Can you deal with him? Moreover, I have to work at KING Group again starting from tomorrow. This was arranged by Ye Sihan. I can’t resist it.”
“What? This Ye Sihan is too bullying! How can he treat you like this? If anything happens, let him come at me!”
Tang Yu took a deep breath, helpless and in despair, “Have you really not done anything to wrong Ye Sihan? Then why is his reaction so extreme?”
“I’ve already said, his father and I are in a proper relationship. It’s just that Ye Sihan cannot accept anyone taking his mother’s place, should Ye Xianghua spend his life alone in loneliness?”
At this point, Tang Yu didn’t even know who to listen to.
It was just her, stuck in the middle, being tormented.
“Xiaoyu, listen to your mother, you must think of a way. You can’t continue like this with Ye Sihan, what will people say behind your back?” Yu Zhaohui sounded very troubled.
Tang Yu, under great pressure, said bluntly, “I can’t solve this, you handle it.” With that, she hung up without listening to another word from Yu Zhaohui.
Did she even have control over what others were saying about her now?
Whether or not she could walk away from Ye Sihan’s control unscathed was already questionable.
To bear four children in secret for Ye Sihan, and now with her mother stirring up this trouble, wasn’t this just adding insult to injury beyond what she could psychologically endure?
When she got home and opened the door, Tang Yu was unexpectedly tackled into a full embrace—
“Mommy is fatty home!”
“Mommy!”
“Mommy!”
“Mommy!”
Tang Yu looked down, stunned for a few seconds, before squatting down to embrace the four soft little bodies in her arms.
Smelling the milky scent on them, the pain in her heart eased somewhat.
In this world, only her children could heal her…
“They said it was you as soon as they heard footsteps outside, and they were right! They really can tell Mommy’s footsteps,” Li Xue said with a smile.
Tang Yu watched her little ones lovingly, her face breaking into a smile as she tried to cast all worries from her mind.
She thought that the future must be bright, as long as she could get over this hurdle, and her children would always be the pillars of her spirit.
Tang Yu talked to Li Xue about her new job at KING Group, leaving Li Xue completely baffled, so Tang Yu had no choice but to divulge the truth to her.
Li Xue’s eyes widened in shock, “Your mom married… Ye Sihan’s dad? Then you and Ye Sihan… are siblings?”
“How could it be that simple? Ye Sihan has long broken ties with the Ye Family and his father; he hates my mom so much he might as well kill her, let alone accept me. Where is there room for siblings?”
“So him having you work at KING Group isn’t to take care of you?” Li Xue asked. “Your mom did the deed, they should be going after her, why target you?”
“Maybe by targeting me, he finds more room to maneuver…” Tang Yu said.
It must be that her mom wasn’t the other woman; Ye Sihan couldn’t tolerate her mom and, harboring hatred yet lacking legitimate reasons, could only start with her!
“This misunderstanding needs to be cleared up, right? Otherwise, we’ll have no way to compete with Ye Sihan,” Tang Yu said.
“Who’s Ye Sihan?” a milky voice piped up from the side.
Tang Yu jumped, turned around to see it was Zhengzheng, and quickly said, “Nobody. Does Zhengzheng need something from Mommy?”
“Nope, just walking by.”
“Ah, then go play!” Tang Yu patted his plump little bottom.
With Zhengzheng gone, Tang Yu and Li Xue lowered their voices even more.
“That’s all we can do for now. It’s just that sometimes I can’t manage my time, Sister Xue, and I might trouble you…” Tang Yu felt incredibly embarrassed, finding it difficult to even speak.
“I’m the children’s godmother, and a godmother is also a mom. Isn’t it only natural for me to take care of the children? Besides, I’m a freelancer, so it’s more convenient, isn’t it?”
“I want to give you money.”
“Watch it, or I’ll smack you!”
The next day, Tang Yu got her emotions together and went to KING Group.
No matter how mentally prepared she was, once she arrived at the entrance, her heart started pounding with fear.
Because she knew the real reason she was there wasn’t to work for money, but to live under Ye Sihan’s scrutiny, at his mercy, to be toyed with.
She had to undergo that certain thing every day.
At the thought, Tang Yu’s scalp tingled and her body shivered.
After working almost an hour in the secretarial department, the oppressive atmosphere heralding Ye Sihan’s arrival descended ahead of time, spreading throughout the entire floor.
Next to the secretarial department was a glass wall through which she could clearly discern the dark figure walking in their direction, followed by Xiao Yu and other executives.
All the seated people stood up until Ye Sihan entered his office.
When Tang Yu sat down, her legs were weak and her palms sweaty, as if she had been drained of all strength.
She spent the whole morning in the secretarial department, trembling and unscathed. Sometimes death isn’t terrifying; what’s terrifying is the waiting before death.
That kind of torment was extremely unbearable.
