On the day of her return to China, she was tied up and coaxed by the richest man to get her marriage

Yu Jinzhao remained calm and turned to look at the crabapple tree that stretched out of the window.

The dewdrops shimmered on the petals, like round pearls.

A breeze blew by, and the dewdrops swayed, scattering like fragments of light onto her face, mirroring her current state of mind—slightly cool.

Even though three years have passed, her heart still aches slightly, and a silent sense of grievance pierces her like needles.

She opened her mouth, her expression somber, and said softly, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's that you won't believe me."

She used to tell her close friends and family about everything she did, her thoughts, and her plans.

But now, she's used to shouldering everything alone and doing everything by herself. She doesn't need anyone's understanding; she just needs to ensure the results and protect the people she cares about.

Everything else is unimportant.

"How could I not believe it? I believe it..."

Yu Zongxian paused mid-sentence, his expression shifting, and then sighed.

“Aside from the incident with your grandmother, I know you still can’t accept the fact that you accidentally pushed her. Your brother and I both know you didn’t mean to…”

Yu Jinzhao, who was about to offer another explanation, swallowed it back down upon hearing these words.

She interrupted him.

"Father, is there anything else you wanted to see me about?"

Yu Zongxian stopped abruptly, and one could sense a slight fluctuation in her previously calm tone, clearly indicating that she was somewhat displeased.

He originally wanted to resolve the issue from three years ago, but since she still refused to face it, he decided not to provoke her further.

I remember that after the incident, many witnesses saw Chaochao reach out to the old lady, and the two of them were arguing about traditional Chinese medicine.

Having learned from his wife's experience, he understood better than anyone how obsessed Chaochao was with studying traditional Chinese medicine, and that a mistake was inevitable under those circumstances.

At that time, Chaochao was very emotional and kept arguing that she did not push her grandmother, but tried to pull her grandmother back. She wanted to save her grandmother, but failed to do so.

He also refused to believe that Chaochao had really pushed the old lady by accident.

So she even consulted a doctor who said that she had suffered a great shock and developed cognitive hallucinations, which is why she believed that her subconscious slip-up was an attempt to save herself—a kind of psychological compensatory suggestion.

Actually, Chaochao is sick.

The reason I promised my son to send her abroad was not only to make her face her mistakes, but also to avoid upsetting her. Only by sending her away to calm down could I alleviate her emotional breakdown and prevent her condition from worsening.

However, it seems that her emotions are still unstable regarding this matter.

Only when she comes to her senses will she understand his good intentions and be able to see things the way they were before.

Thinking this, Yu Zongxian felt a glimmer of hope, his depressed mood eased somewhat, and he said with a gentle smile,

"Actually, I wanted to ask you if there's some kind of conflict between you and your brother that I don't know about?"

The problems between him and Chaochao can be resolved with time, so there's no rush.

However, the issues concerning Chaochao and Axian cannot be delayed in the slightest.

Last night, while waiting for Chaochao's call, he wondered why, since A-Xian believed that Chaochao did not push the old lady on purpose, he would distance himself from Chaochao and even blame her!

They used to be such good siblings, how could they suddenly become resentful for no reason?

After thinking for a long time, he suddenly realized that perhaps the brother and sister had some kind of conflict before the old lady's accident.

At that time, Ah Xian was in closed training abroad, and the brother and sister could not meet. They could not be under his watchful eye as before, so he really knew nothing and could not find out even if he wanted to.

Since A-Xian refused to talk about it, he could only start with Chao-Chao.

As a parent, he couldn't accept his children being so distant; he couldn't let his family be ruined.

Upon hearing this, Yu Jinzhao paused, seemingly lost in thought for a moment, as if something had occurred to him.

Yu Zongxian frowned, not wanting to upset her, and said gently again, "Chaochao, think carefully, did your brother do something bad to upset you while he was studying business abroad, and that's why you two had a fight?"
