Chapter 102 - 102: Mental Hospital
Ye Yao smiled and continued, “Once, I escaped and ran to the embassy. I called Ye Tianhao and asked him to come and get me. I thought that he must not have been aware that I was sent to the wrong place, but the only person who turned up was a doctor from the mental hospital. The second time I escaped, I asked the embassy to send me back to the country, but the embassy had to verify my identity through my parents. Then, Ye Tianhao told the embassy that I was ill and disobedient, and that he had sent me to the mental hospital for treatment. He didn’t allow me to return home. So, it was deliberate on his part to leave me there. Do you know what life was like in the mental hospital? Now you’re asking me to help him? Why should I?”
Ye Yao did not want to continue talking about the time she was overseas. Words could not describe her tragic state back then at all.
Yang Ya did not expect Ye Yao to tell her what happened overseas. She was instantly speechless. “Impossible. Your father won’t do this. Are you making all this up because you don’t wish to help your father?”
Ye Yao looked at Yang Ya in amusement. “Do you trust Ye Tianhao that much?”
Yang Ya said, “Of course. Your father is a very responsible and mature man. He takes good care of women, so I believe him.”
Ye Yao sneered sarcastically. “That’s right. Since Ye Tianhao is so good, why did you leave him back then? If you act this way, it’s easy for people to misunderstand and think that you still have feelings for him. Don’t forget that you’re now Qin Guodong’s wife and are a person of significant status in the imperial capital. If Ye Tianhao is really in trouble, I think you can help him easily, right? Instead of trying so hard to convince me, why don’t you help him yourself?”
Yang Ya’s expression darkened. “How can I help him? We’re divorced, I have my own family now. If I help him, what will others think of me?”
Ye Yao smiled. “Since you’re unwilling to do it yourself, why force me to do it? You’re so loyal to him and you’re not even willing to help him. I’ve already fallen out with him. What reason do I have to help him?”
On the same note, Ye Yao had also fallen out with Yang Ya at Grandmother Gao’s birthday banquet. Not even a few days had passed, and Yang Ya was making demands of her as if nothing had happened.
Ye Yao was finding out for the first time just how shameless Yang Ya was. In the past, when she just could not get Ye Tianhao and Yang Ya to love her, Ye Yao blamed it on herself. She thought that Ye Tianhao and Yang Ya didn’t like her because she wasn’t good enough. So she tried her best to become better. However, it was when she had such a torturous time overseas that she suddenly realized, the problem didn’t lie with her. It was the people around her who were sick. That was why a normal person like her was deemed abnormal!
Now that Ye Yao was among people like Jiang Jie, Huo Buyu, and Yang Youwei, she felt more normal than ever.
Seeing that Ye Yao could not be reasoned with no matter what, coupled with the fact that she had been bitten by a few mosquitoes, Yang Ya could not hold back her temper and her face turned cold. “So, you’re just unwilling to help, right?”
Ye Yao maintained her stance. “You’re dreaming if you think I’ll help!”
“Fine!” Yang Ya said without mincing her words, “Back then, a portion of the 30% of the shares your grandfather gave you was mine. You have no right to return my shares to your uncle. I want you to compensate me for the shares I own.”
Ye Yao chuckled. “Are you kidding me? When Grandpa split the shares, he clearly said that the shares were for me. However, it’s strange. You’re Grandpa’s biological daughter. Why didn’t Grandpa give the shares to you but to me, his granddaughter?”
Ye Yao initially meant this to be a casual question but then having said it, she was struck by that fact and started to feel that something was indeed amiss.
When her grandfather was alive, he treated her very well. He especially doted on her and loved her to the core. In the ignorance of her youth, she would get into fights with Yang Youwei. Her grandfather would always take her side.
Even Yang Youwei, his biological son, could not compare to her.
Logically speaking, it should have been that Grandpa treated her well because he loved his family and Yang Ya, his daughter. But why didn’t he give the shares to Yang Ya? Ye Yao couldn’t figure it out…
Suddenly, a possibility flashed across Ye Yao’s mind and she broke out in cold sweat as she looked at Yang Ya inquisitively.
Yang Ya wanted to say something, but when she met Ye Yao’s gaze, a chill ran down her spine.. “What is it? Why are you looking at me like that? What are you up to?”
