"When I was about three years old, my mother met my adoptive father. He raised me as his own daughter and was very kind to both me and my mother."

"I study hard, behave well and am always the pride of my parents."

"I thought about getting into a good university and giving my parents a good life. I also thought about being with you during college..."

When he said this, a trace of pain flashed in Cheng Shuhui's eyes.

Ye Yan also sighed.

"At that time, was it your biological father who came to see you?"

Cheng Shuhui nodded and explained seriously, "Ye Yan, don't misunderstand me! I didn't choose to go back with the Cheng family because I was greedy for their wealth."

"Those people in the Cheng family...are so shameless! They used my adoptive father and mother to threaten me!"

"As a descendant of the Cheng family, I am destined to follow them back and become a puppet trained by the family and a tool for marriage alliances..."

At that time, Cheng Haojie had another son and a daughter.

Cheng Shuhui's half-sister is only one year younger than her.

In order to become the head of the family, Cheng Haojie must marry into another big family.

But the person that the marriage proposal was for was a disabled person with paralysis in the lower body, and Cheng Shuhui's "stepmother" was reluctant to let her own daughter jump into the fire pit.

Cheng Shuhui became that poor creature.

When mentioning this, a hint of hatred flashed in the depths of Cheng Shuhui's eyes, and her eyes turned red.

"Ye Yan, can you understand how desperate I was at that time? I even thought about committing suicide!"

"Unfortunately, under their supervision, I don't even have the right to commit suicide!"

"When I was most desperate, I thought of you countless times. But the steward beside me told me that I must completely forget you, otherwise it would bring disaster to you!"

Even if one has a heart of stone, one would be moved by Cheng Shuhui's words.

There were also ripples in Ye Yan's heart.

He was willing to believe Cheng Shuhui, but unfortunately, fate played tricks on him.

"and after?"

Cheng Shuhui's eyes welled up with tears: "During my sophomore year, I got the news. My intended partner had passed away!"

"At that time, my father had already secured the position of Patriarch of the Cheng family. I thought I would finally be free, able to leave the Cheng family and return to my adoptive father and mother."

"But they still won't let me go. They want to squeeze every last ounce of my usefulness out of me!"

At that time, Cheng Shuhui became a "widow" overnight.

If that family had not been swallowed up by other aristocratic families in Beihu Province, Cheng Shuhui might have been a widow for the rest of her life.

But this incident still had a huge impact on her reputation.

In addition, she is an "illegitimate daughter", so it is difficult for her to find a suitable marriage partner.

At this time, the Cheng family planned to extend their influence to Jiangdong Province and support the Lin family as their vassal family.

The marriage between Cheng Shuhui and Lin Kailun is now on the agenda!

Ye Yan sighed deeply, and his eyes revealed an indescribable emotion.

He really wanted to ask, why didn't Cheng Shuhui tell him these things earlier?

But then I thought about it.

When Cheng Shuhui was taken away by the Cheng family, he was just an ordinary student.

Despite having good academic performance and seemingly having a bright future, he is simply no match for the Cheng family.

Later, Ye Yan disappeared for three years because of that accident...

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you before!"

Before she could finish her words, Cheng Shuhui suddenly plucked up the courage and hugged Ye Yan.

"Ye Yan, I'm the one who should be sorry. I was too cowardly and missed you!"

"This time, I..."

Ye Yan could probably guess what Cheng Shuhui wanted to say.

But he ruthlessly interrupted Cheng Shuhui.

"What happened in the past is in the past. Next, I can arrange for you to go to Tianwu Sect."

"Whether you embark on the path of martial arts or become a wealthy and idle person, the choice is up to you. You can control your destiny in your own hands, and the Cheng family can't do anything to you."

Cheng Shuhui trembled all over and tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Is there really no future for us?"

Ye Yan is not a saint, how could there be no ripples in his heart?

But now that he has accepted Cheng Shuhui, it is not fair to Tang Yuerou.

What's more, the Cheng family teamed up with Luo Tianshen and others to murder him, and he indirectly wiped out many people in the Cheng family.

Even Cheng Shuhui's father, Cheng Haojie, is Ye Yan's mortal enemy.

With this grudge in between, how will the two get along in the future?

Ye Yan opened his mouth and was about to speak.

"Ye Yan, I finally found you!"

A graceful figure hurried over, but after seeing Ye Yan and Cheng Shuhui hugging each other, her expression was slightly dazed.

Ye Yan's heart trembled: "Yue Rou, don't misunderstand..."

He didn't expect that the scene just now would be seen by Tang Yuerou.

Cheng Shuhui was also a little panicked and quickly let go of her hand.

"Ms. Tang, things are not what you see. Let me explain..."

Tang Yuerou pursed her lips and said, "You don't have to explain. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have disturbed your old classmates' reunion. But now, I have something very important to talk to Ye Yan about."

As she spoke, she looked at Ye Yan with pleading eyes.

"Ye Yan, something happened to Xiao Hai! He seems to have been poisoned, go check it out!"
