Chapter 752: 752 was abandoned again
"Mother..." Watching He's relentless back, Ye Jiu's tears finally burst forth uncontrollably, and her voice was filled with the helpless fear of being abandoned, "I don't have to go to the capital city, as long as I don't wish to, there is no one in this world who can force me. And even if I must go to the capital city, I will definitely bring you with me. We are very wealthy now, even if we go to the capital city, we can still live without worries, Mother..."
Yet, even so, it still did not win back He's return.
Ye Jiu helplessly turned her head, looking at Old Man Ye, "Father..."
Old Man Ye didn't know what had gotten into He. Clearly, she had known about the child's identity for a long time, and she was still worried the Prince would take the child away when she arrived.
But now, although the Prince had said he would take the child away, he also said he would not sever their relationship. Yet, this old woman actually pushed the child away!
What exactly was she thinking in her heart?
Looking at the despondently crying Ye Jiu, Old Man Ye did not leave like He did. Instead, he walked over and wiped away her tears with his rough hands.
When she was little, Ye Jiu was frail, and Old Man Ye often carried her around the village, showing her the outside world.
But later, as Ye Jiu gradually grew up and became plumper, and Old Man Ye aged and could no longer carry her, the father and daughter gradually grew apart.
At this moment, when Old Man Ye's rough, somewhat abrasive hand touched Ye Jiu's smooth cheek, he suddenly realized that his Xiaojiu had changed so much during this short span of just over a year.
"Xiaojiu, don't cry. Don't you know your mother? She cherishes you the most. She definitely can't bear to leave you. She might have just been confused for a moment. Since you're unwell, just stay with the Prince for now. Father will go back and persuade Mother. Don't hold it against her..."
Old Man Ye's comforting words still could not ease Ye Jiu's heart. Her eyes filled with pleading, she stared tightly at Old Man Ye and said, "Then I'll go back with Father."
Old Man Ye's heart softened, but after some thought, taking into account various considerations, and the Prince's threatening gaze, he still didn't dare to agree, "Just stay here with the Prince for now. Let's wait for Father to go back and persuade Mother first."
As he spoke, Old Man Ye, taking along a bewildered Ye Gaosheng, headed in the direction He had left.
And Ye Jiu, watching their retreating figures, felt deeply that she had ultimately been abandoned once more!
Turning around, Ye Jiu glared at the Prince, her face full of anger, "Are you satisfied now?"
Prince: "This Prince never said you had to sever your relations, it was their own decision."
Ye Jiu lay back down on the bed, covering herself tightly with the blanket, even her head buried underneath.
She didn't want to speak now, she didn't want to say a word, but her heart ached painfully, so painfully...
Abandoned again, everyone didn't want her, even He, the only person she cared about, didn't want her.
And she didn't even have the courage to chase after them, because she was truly afraid of seeing the disdainful looks and hearing the shooing words of others.
This was the third time. Was she doomed not to have parental love?
The Prince walked over and reached out his hand, wanting to comfort Ye Jiu, but as his hand was almost touching the blanket, he retracted it helplessly.
"Don't smother yourself. You've just woken up, don't make yourself sick again. Once dawn breaks, this Prince will take you to talk to them. If the Ye Family members are willing to follow us to the capital city, this Prince can be magnanimous and arrange everything for them."
