Rebirth: I am the boss uncle

The moon was rising above the willows. Ye Ling surveyed the room and marveled. Although Ye Youxuan's relationship with his parents was distant, they were incredibly kind to him. The room was warm and bright, spacious, and luxurious, with a separate bathroom, a large desk, a wall-mounted bookcase, a sofa, and a large bed. They even had a refrigerator brimming with food.

Ye Ling glanced at the food and then floated over to Ye Youxuan who was sitting blankly on the sofa on the balcony. "I see you didn't eat much tonight. There's some food in the refrigerator. Do you want to go and have some?"

Ye Youxuan glanced at the refrigerator and shook his head. Seeing Ye Youxuan once again lost in thought, Ye Ling stood up and changed the subject.

"Xiao Ye Zi, I'm a little jealous of you. When I left, I had nothing, but when you came back, you have everything. Your room is big and beautiful, and it even has such a big balcony. From here, you can see the entire backyard of the Ye Mansion. It's great."

Ye Youxuan looked at Ye Ling by the fence, seeing his angry face. Although he knew he was pretending, he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry. If I hadn't taken over your body, you wouldn't have become a ghost and wouldn't be able to hug your family... All of this originally belonged to you, but I took it away from you."

Ye Ling's mouth stiffened. She floated over to Ye Youxuan and sat down. "Little Ye Zi, how could you think that? I should be the one thanking you. If it weren't for you entering this body, I don't know what I would be like now, maybe even without bones... It's also because of you that I've become so successful. I never thought I could become the student council president of that cruel school. I also never thought I could lose weight and become so handsome, haha... With such looks and such a family background, I should be at the top. It's you who made the most of it... Ye Zi, I'm not you. Death is the best option for me, but not for you. I'm not like you. I can't let go of the fear in my heart, the bullying I suffered in the past. Looking back on my life, I find it's really a mess, so bad that I can't bear to look at it, but I don't want it to be so dull. Fortunately, you are here. You went through so much trouble to make it shine, and fulfilled my wish. I'm grateful for your arrival. Sometimes I even want to use this body to trap you for the rest of your life. Isn't that selfish... haha?"

Ye Ling smiled, as if mocking her own cowardice.

Ye Youxuan shook his head in pain and reached out to gently hold Ye Ling's hand.

"So, it's me who should thank you, Ye Zi. I'm very happy to be back at the Ye residence this time, not because I see my family, but because I came here with you when I was still alive, to the place where I grew up... As for my family, I grew up with my grandparents. After they passed away, I went abroad and refused to see or contact them. To them, I am dispensable. Now that this body is yours, they... should be yours too. Moreover, it's you and Mo Yan who have been with me for so many years in life. You are my family."

The Ye residence at night was so quiet and mysterious. The breeze blew, and the hair fluttered. Ye Youxuan looked at the full moon in the sky for a long time without saying a word.

"Why don't you explain? You're not the one who did what happened back then. This body is allergic to almonds, so it won't eat almond porridge."

"You heard those chattering women talking just now, didn't you?"

"Um"

Thinking about what he had overheard while strolling after dinner, Ye Youxuan felt irritated for no reason.

After hearing this, Ye Ling folded her arms across her chest and slowly leaned towards the sofa.

"Alas! It was because I was so angry back then... Not long after my grandparents passed away, my father brought me back. I was unfamiliar with everything around me, so I placed all my trust in Aunt Song and Mother Lian, who came with me. I was young and ignorant at the time, and Aunt Song's words were sweet, so I liked her even more. I scoffed at everything Mother Lian said, and the relationship between us gradually grew apart."

Ye Ling thought of the woman just now, and a hint of warmth flashed in her eyes.

"I placed all my trust in Aunt Song, but I never expected her to stab me in the back... I believed her and thought my parents didn't like me. I often went against them, hated them and my brother and sister-in-law, and gradually distanced myself from them. I also blamed all the mistakes on my nephews and nieces who were the same age as me, thinking that it was because of them that my parents gave them the love they originally gave me. I bullied and suppressed them. Now that I think about it, it's only right that they didn't come back to see me, but it's really hard on you."

Ye Youxuan shook his head

"As for Zhou... although I didn't do what happened back then, it was caused by me. If I hadn't come back... if I hadn't listened to her, this wouldn't have happened. At first, I was angry, resentful, and surrounded by distrust. I didn't want to say anything. By the time I wanted to say it later, it was too late. I've lived my whole life in hatred and fear. It was you and Mo Yan who saved me... I'm sorry for them, but giving you to them can be considered a reward for them. After all, you're so outstanding. In the final analysis, I'm the one who gained. Hahahaha."

Looking at Ye Ling who seemed to be there and not there, Ye Youxuan felt indescribably sad.
