After Murong Nan sent a message to the third child, he waited for Gu Qingli and Anhao to finish their meal before clearing the table.

Tang Yining went to help, but was pushed away by him.

With no other choice, Tang Yining had no choice but to arrange for Anhao and Gu Qingli to sit in the living room.

Gu Qingli and Anhao still pretended not to know each other and came to sit down in the living room.

After scanning the whole villa but not seeing his son, Gu Qingli ignored the presence of several people around him and asked Tang Yining:

"Where's Xiaobei? Doesn't he live here with you?"

Tang Yining no longer shies away from talking about her son with Gu Qingli in front of so many people.

She responded, "It's just that he hasn't been here for the past two days. He has started school. The school is close to my home. Most of the time he goes back to live with his grandparents."

After hesitating for a while, Gu Qingli added, "Then I'll take him over and stay with me for a few days."

Tang Yining did not refuse, "If he is willing to stay with you for a few days, that's fine."

As my son grows older, he has the power to make his own choices.

If he forgives his father and is willing to live with him for a few days, she, as a mother, will not stop him.

After all, children also need their father's love and company.

Seeing Aning agree so readily, Gu Qingli felt inexplicably happy.

Still not caring about Anhao's existence at all, he approached Ye Che to talk about work.

Little did they know that Anhao didn't take Gu Qingli seriously at all, sitting next to Forsythia and watching her play games.

Sometimes I lie on Forsythia's shoulder, sometimes I hug Forsythia's waist, and sometimes I lean against Forsythia.

It's so annoying that you can't even tell that they just met each other.

Ye Shengsheng was sitting next to her, wanting to get up and see what game Forsythia was playing. Murong Nan packed everything up and came over, stood in front of her and said:

"Sister, if I've delayed you for a few minutes, can you come over and let me have a few words with you?"

Ye Shengsheng paused and said without giving any face, "Can't you just say no here?"

"Come here."

Murong Nan insisted, then turned and walked away.

Ye Shengsheng really didn't want to go.

She knew exactly what her eldest brother was going to tell her.

It's nothing more than an apology and asking her to forgive.

Just when she was hesitating, Ye Che next to her signaled: "Go ahead, don't wrong yourself, just do whatever you want."

Ye Shengsheng then got up and followed his elder brother towards the back garden.

Seeing his sister following him, Murong Nan motioned for her to sit down, and he also sat down next to her.

"I know that no amount of sorry I can make up for the harm we have done to you, but sometimes we really can't help ourselves.

For example, it would be like hypnotizing you to make you forget what happened in the past. Your mental state was particularly bad at that time. If you were not hypnotized, you might have..."

"It is indeed our selfish intention to let you return to your mother, but think about it, during the year you lived with your mother, your mother still had her own intentions in treating you, right?"

Ye Shengsheng lowered his head and said nothing.

That year, she actually didn't feel loved by many people in that home.

The second brother has never seen her before.

My father also appears occasionally.

Although the eldest brother and the third brother are kind to her.

But the fact that she is still willing to sit here with her elder brother and listen to him say this proves that she doesn't blame him at all.

I just don't want to admit it.

"Sister, you are the daughter of the Murong family anyway. Our hometown is in country E. I think you don't have to forgive your mother, but after my wedding is over, is it okay for you to come back to country e with us to recognize your ancestors?"

My father means that I must take my sister back this year.

Taking advantage of the rare opportunity to talk to his sister alone, and since she was willing to give him this opportunity, he wanted to persuade her.

Unexpectedly, Ye Shengsheng raised his head to meet his gaze and refused without hesitation:

"There is no way I will go back to that place with you."

"Isn't it okay even if my eldest brother begs you?"

"no."

Ye Shengsheng stood up suddenly and stepped forward with his back to Murong Nan.

"I will tell you clearly right now, I will never go to that place again in my life, nor will I step foot in the door of the Murong family again.

Brother, I know you are good to me, but please don’t force me to do things I don’t want to do. Those bloody scenes of your mother hurting me will come to mind as soon as you appear.

You may never understand the feeling of being abused to the point of being disfigured by your own biological mother.

So don’t try to persuade me, I won’t go with you.”

"Mom, she knows she was wrong."

Looking at her sister's back, Murong Nan's voice became a little deeper.

"And regarding Zheng Zheng, the Murong family also removed her from the family tree. Not only our family, but the entire clan hopes that you will go home and acknowledge your ancestors."

"That's not my home."

Ye Shengsheng was a little angry, turned to Murong Nan, and said glumly:

"That's your Murong family. My surname is Ye and my name is Ye Shengsheng. They only gave birth to me and did not raise me. But they have taken back what I owe them. Please don't tell me about going back to recognize my ancestors."

"Besides, I don't care what you did to Murong Zhengzheng. If she and Gong Yu go to the door of Ye Mansion again and don't leave, and something happens then, don't blame me for being cold-blooded and ruthless."

Murong Nan didn't know that Murong Zhengzheng and Gong Yu went to Ye Mansion to look for Shengsheng.

Seeing her attitude towards him now, he knew that it would be too difficult to persuade his sister to go home.

As he stood up, Murong Nanjun's face was gloomy and his eyes were filled with sadness.

"It was all because of me that you were lost in the first place. You were three years old at that time. I took you out of the house and failed to take good care of you, which is why you left us.

If we had found you in time at that time, or if I had not taken you out, you would not have gotten lost. If you had not gotten lost, then you would be the most noble princess in the entire E country."

"Sister, all the suffering and hardships you have suffered in the past twenty years are all thanks to your brother. You can just blame him alone. If you don't want to go home, don't want your parents, is that okay?"

He is begging for his sister.

I just hope she can give his brother another chance.

Ye Shengsheng really couldn't stand the way her eldest brother was begging her.

She was so afraid of being soft-hearted.

Shaking her head, she backed away from Murong Nan, "Don't do this, brother, please stop trying to persuade me, I won't go back."

Not wanting to stay any longer, she turned around and wanted to run away.

Murong Nan subconsciously held her arm.

"My mother has always loved you. It was because you were lost and she couldn't bear the blow and couldn't afford to fall ill. My father and I had no choice but to go to the orphanage to find a child your age and tell her that it was you.

Because there was a two-year difference, the mother, who was sick and confused, did not notice it.

If you had been by your mother's side at that time, you would be the one your mother loves now, Sheng Sheng, and everyone in the family really loves you."

"That's enough, I beg you to stop talking."

Ye Shengsheng shook off his hand, hugged himself and squatted down, unable to help but cry:

"You all love me, so during this year when I don't remember anything, has my second brother ever visited me?

I've obviously gotten along well with you this year, so why don't you take me back to Country E to recognize my ancestors?

When Murong Zhengzheng fell down and had a miscarriage, you all believed her when she said they were quintuplets. Although you didn't blame me, you also chose to protect her."

Ye Shengsheng closed his eyes to prevent tears from flowing out.

Her heart was burning, and she didn't understand how these family members, who had never put themselves in her shoes, had the nerve to ask her for forgiveness.

They only love that adopted daughter, how could it be her.

"That's not the case."

When Murong Nan saw his sister crying, his eyes turned red with distress and he wanted to go forward and hug her.

But Ye Che came over at some point and saw Sheng Sheng squatting on the ground crying. He hurriedly stepped forward to hug her into his arms and asked in a low voice:

"What's wrong?"

Ye Shengsheng sobbed and leaned into Ye Che's arms.

"Ye Che, let's go, I don't want to talk to him."
