The Ye couple couldn't believe what they saw with their own eyes.
The couple staggered towards Ye Che and raised their hands to touch him in confusion.
When they confirmed that the person kneeling in front of them was their son who jumped into the sea to save his daughter a year ago, the two elders burst into tears and hugged him fiercely and cried bitterly.
"Is this my Archer? Archer, are you back? Mom, isn't this a dream?"
"Son, is it really you? Isn't dad's eyesight dim?"
Ye Che straightened up and raised his arms to hug his parents, muttering in response:
"It's me, I'm back, my parents are sorry, my son is unfilial!"
"Arche, my Archer, you are not dead, you are back alive, my God, my son is back."
It is simply impossible to describe the feeling of regaining something lost.
Qiu Zhishu hugged his son and cried loudly without caring about his image.
"My son, do you know what happened to your family in the year you left? Do you know how painful it is for your parents to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person?
My son actually came back alive, God bless him."
It was really difficult to control her excited emotions, and she cried until she burst into tears.
Ye Cheng couldn't help wiping his tears. He looked around and saw no children. He asked in a hoarse voice:
"Archer, did you come back by yourself? Where is our poor little granddaughter?"
Upon hearing his father's question, Ye Che tried to push his mother away from his arms.
Seeing the situation, Gu Qingli stepped forward to help the two elders stand up, and also raised his hand to help Ye Che.
"Everyone, please get up first. Go sit over there and talk slowly."
One or three people got up and went to the living room.
As soon as he sat down, Qiu Zhishu asked while wiping his tears:
"Yes, Archer, where is Xiao Lianlian? Didn't she come back with you? What have you all been through? Why did it take more than a year for you to come back?"
Thinking of his daughter, Ye Che's heart felt uncomfortable again.
He lowered his head with guilt on his face.
"I'm sorry! I couldn't bring my daughter back. I don't know where she is or if she is still alive."
If he is with his daughter, then he will definitely bring her back.
Sadly, he doesn't even know where his daughter is.
I don't know whether he is dead or alive.
Gu Qingli couldn't bear to see their family of three so sad. He stood beside him and said:
"Lian Lian is so smart and sensible. I believe God will bless her and Archer will come back safely. Maybe she will turn the bad luck into good and come back one day."
The second elder glanced at Gu Qingli.
Looking at my son again, I can feel that the pain he has endured is no less than that of their parents.
Qiu Zhishu couldn't help but raise his arms to hug him.
"Qingli is right, Archer, don't blame yourself. Little Lianlian may be like you and come back on her own one day."
"If Shengsheng knows that you are back alive, I will definitely be happy."
Ye Cheng said excitedly:
"Son, do you know that Shengsheng has given birth to another son for you, and he looks very much like you. You must really want to see their mother and son. I will call them right now."
With that said, he picked up the cell phone on the coffee table and prepared to call Ye Shengsheng.
Ye Che quickly raised his hand to stop his father's behavior.
His red eyes were still moist, he shook his head and said feebly:
"Dad, Mom, Qingli told me everything about the family, and I also know that Shengsheng gave birth to a son for me.
But Shengsheng doesn’t remember me now, and I don’t want her to suffer anymore when she sees me and thinks of my daughter who has never come back.
Let’s not forcefully awaken her memory. She is in very good condition now, so let’s just keep her like this, okay?”
Xiao Lianlian is their daughter, and he, a father who has not been with his daughter for a long time, is so painful to lose his daughter.
If Shengsheng remembered his daughter and him and knew that her daughter would never come back, how painful it would be for her.
She gave birth to it in ten months of pregnancy, and she brought it up with her own hands.
She definitely couldn't accept the fact that her daughter was dead.
Ye Che thinks it's good to have such a voice now.
He will also try to persuade himself to get over the grief of losing his daughter and find an opportunity to return to Shengsheng and his son.
Qiu Zhishu agreed with what his son said.
She nodded and said:
"I think it's really good for Shengsheng to be like this now. Archer, do you know why Shengsheng forgot you?"
Ye Che shook his head.
Qiu Zhishu told his son in a hoarse voice.
"Shengsheng fainted when she heard the news that you and Xiao Lianlian were no longer together. After that, she would cry until she fainted every time she woke up.
When she woke up later, she cried and became mentally disturbed.
Then she fell ill and lay in bed for several days without waking up. In order to save her life, the Murong family hypnotized her to make her forget everything."
Raising his hand to hold his son's hand, Qiu Zhishu wiped the tears from his face and continued:
"Son, I didn't know Shengsheng had a family before, until something happened to you, and the house instantly turned into a mess.
It was Shengsheng's eldest brother Murong Nan who came to help us handle everything, and it was he who helped you keep the company.
From now on, you have to thank her deeply and loudly. Even if she doesn't remember you, she still often comes to visit me and your dad with her child in her arms.
Shengsheng, kid, you really made the right choice."
During this year, they all remembered the good things Shengsheng and her family had done to their Ye family.
She even thought about it, it didn't matter if they didn't let her grandson return to the Ye family.
As long as their grandson can grow up healthy, and as long as they can take good care of their only grandson, they will be satisfied.
Ye Che agreed, "I will."
He will thank Murong Nan well.
But when he thought of the pain Sheng Sheng had endured and the pain of being pregnant for ten months, he felt very distressed.
Knowing that it was getting late, Gu Qingli said:
"Uncle and aunt, I have brought you people back. Then you should rest early. I will go back first."
Ye Cheng hurriedly said, "You can stay here for the night, it's such a trouble running around."
"No need, you can have a good reunion and I will come visit you later."
When looking at Ye Che, Ye Che happened to meet his eyes.
It seemed to be telling him not to tell others about his return yet.
Gu Qingli naturally understood, nodded in agreement and turned to leave.
Ye Cheng stood up to see him off.
Qiu Zhishu saw that his son had lost a lot of weight and felt really distressed.
She squeezed his hand with red eyes and asked:
"Has Archer eaten? Do you want mom to get you a bowl of dumplings?"
"I've eaten. I'm going back to my room to rest for a while. As for where the noise is, you don't have to worry about it. I will find a way to get to her."
"Well, you go and rest."
Back in the room, Ye Che took a shower and lay down on the big bed where Sheng Sheng had slept before.
Thinking of his parents' excitement and joy when they saw him just now, he figured out that he shouldn't avoid the sound's approach.
He should get closer to Shengsheng and try his best to make up for his debt to their mother and son.
This is what he should do.
…
The next morning.
Alice Manor.
Ye Shengsheng got up, washed up, and was about to go to the baby room to see her son. When she went out in the corridor, she was blocked by Murong Zhengzheng.
In Ye Shengsheng's memory, there was never a time when this adopted daughter who stayed in their home dared to block her head-on.
"Is something wrong?" she asked coldly.
Murong Zhengzheng restrained her domineering attitude and said:
"I'm going to move out and live with my brother Yu, Ye Shengsheng, thank you for not choosing him from the beginning to the end. Thank you for not kicking me out after you found out about me and him."
During the year she lived with Ye Shengsheng, she had been enduring the unequal treatment she suffered.
She endured the indifference and alienation from her family, but she still treated Ye Shengsheng shamelessly and pretended to be friendly.
After moving out, she no longer has to look at anyone's face.
From now on, she will be the only one to meet her brother.
So what if she returns to her civilian status? As long as she has her brother by her side, she will be satisfied.
"Then I wish you both a loving relationship and a son soon."
Ye Shengsheng, who had never had a good impression of this person, didn't want to waste any more time and went directly to the nursery past her.
Murong Zhengzheng turned around and looked at her retreating figure, a coldness flashed across her eyes.
She had endured the sound of leaves for a long time.
If her brother hadn't chosen her now, she would have thought of dying together with Ye Shengsheng one day.
Fortunately, she is the one chosen by my brother now.
She also hopes that her brother Yu will be hers in the future.
Otherwise, she would have a hard time, and no one else would have a good time either.
…
Ye Shengsheng stayed with her son in the nursery for a while. When her son was hungry and wanted to drink milk, she handed it to the wet nurse.
Afterwards, we went downstairs to dine. Mrs. Murong was the only person sitting in the restaurant.
Seeing her daughter coming, she diligently brought her food.
"Has Shengsheng lost weight again recently? Eat more."
"Well, thank you, Mom."
When Ye Shengsheng was immersed in eating, Mrs. Murong asked her:
"Do you know about Zhengzheng moving out?"
Ye Shengsheng looked up at her and nodded.
Mrs. Murong sighed:
"Didn't you break off your engagement with Gong Yu? She said she was moving out to live with Gong Yu, so she wasn't overly concerned about it, was she?"
Ye Shengsheng sneered, "Why should I worry so much?"
"You really don't care about Gong Yu at all? You don't mind if he is with Zheng Zheng?"
Ye Shengsheng continued to eat his own.
"I don't care, I don't mind."
Since she had no feelings for that man, she naturally didn't care what he did.
As for Murong Zhengzheng, she was even more indifferent.
"As long as you don't care."
Mrs. Murong laughed.
"Shengsheng will stay with Xiaotuanzi for now. If you really want to find someone to accompany you later, mommy will introduce you to the people she knows. They are all famous and powerful people, no worse than Gong Yu."
Where does Ye Shengsheng have the heart to find a partner?
She finished her breakfast in a few moments, stood up and said:
"Thank you for helping me take care of Xiaotuanzi. I'll go to work first."
"You are so busy every day, why don't you leave the company's affairs to your brother and let their men work hard outside, while Shengsheng stays at home with mother and Xiaotuanzi?"
The Murong family has a lot of money.
Even if their daughter never works for the rest of her life, they can still afford it.
But my daughter is also a workaholic. When she was pregnant, she not only followed her elder brother to work every day.
It wasn't long after the birth of the baby that I quickly went to work again.
It really hurts her as a mother.
Ye Shengsheng looked at his mother and smiled.
"Brother said that the Shengsheng Empire is my company and will be completely handed over to me in the future. If I don't work hard to study in the company now, how will I be able to take over in the future?
If mom feels bored, she can go back to country E to find dad. As for Xiaotuanzi, I will take time to accompany him every night."
Seeing that Mrs. Murong couldn't explain to her daughter, she had no choice but to compromise.
Ye Shengsheng didn't say anything more and went out to the company.
…
In the morning, Gu Qingli personally picked up Ye Che and went downstairs to the Shengsheng Empire Building.
Both of them sat in the car and did not get out.
Looking at the towering buildings in front of him, Gu Qingli sighed:
"If you walk in, the people inside will be frightened."
"So I can't go in yet."
Ye Che said casually.
Gu Qingli turned to look at him, "If you don't go in, then why did you ask me to send you here?"
Ye Che gestured to the cafe next to him, "I'll go over there. You can help me call Murong Nan over. I'll just see Murong Nan."
Now that he has returned to Ye Mansion, he has no intention of hiding it from anyone anymore.
But it needs to be done step by step.
Gu Qingli chuckled, "Arche, have you lost your memory? Don't you know that Murong Nan and I are love rivals? You want me to date him?"
Ye Che knew that it was difficult for his brothers.
He gestured, "Then give me your cell phone and I'll call Murong Nan."
"Don't you have a cell phone?"
"I didn't bring it."
In fact, there are many mobile phones at home, so just grab any and use them.
But when he went out, he really forgot.
Gu Qingli opened his hand reluctantly.
"Okay, you go to the cafe and I'll help you ask someone out."
Ye Che said 'hmm', opened the car door and got out of the car, ready to walk to the cafe.
It's not that far after all.
Who knew that as soon as he got out of the car wearing a mask, a car stopped in front of him.
Ye Shengsheng lowered the car window, looked at the man outside the window, and smiled sweetly.
"I didn't follow you this time. I came here to work. I didn't expect you to be here."
