1038 Chen Yuan’s Past (3)
That was the day Chen Yuan lost her vision.
And the very person who caused her to lost her vision was none other than the very person whom she trusted the most. With her eyes physically torn and injured, there was practically no hope for her to cure her eyes.
Even when Chen Yuan checked it herself, she knew very well that it was incurable.
She had turned blind.
No matter how much she cried, wailed, and begged, her older brother never let her go nor allowed her to be treated until the next day. At that time, everything has been too late and there was nothing that she could do.
“Young Miss Chen,” a mocking tone could be heard. “You’re now a blind girl and the family head required your attendance.”
The young Chen Yuan raised her head. A bandage was used to cover her eyes up to the back of her head. After all, there were blood on her face because the broken porcelains also hurt her face’s skin.
Her hand trembled.
Being the respected young miss of Chen Family, this was the first time the young Chen Yuan was being treated so casually. She could hear that the servants were looking down on her.
.....
“Lead the way.”
Taking a deep breath, the young Chen Yuan stood straight. No matter what, she would never back down to fate.
So what if she’s now blind?
She didn’t want to resign to this fate and become a recluse who couldn’t do anything.
The servant snorted. “Please follow me.”
Without waiting for the young Chen Yuan, the servant began to walk.
The young Chen Yuan was not used to be blind by now. She could only struggle and tried her best to follow the servant’s movement. Thankfully, she knew the entire Chen Family like the back of her hand, so it was no problem for her to walk to the main hall.
The young Chen Yuan could feel the oppressive atmosphere the moment she entered the main hall.
Her father, her uncles, her aunts, her half siblings, her cousins, they were all looking down on her.
The young Chen Yuan could sense it, but she pushed all kind of thoughts to the back of her mind. She had to stay strong.
Chen Yuan’s father looked at his now blind daughter and snorted. Now that she’s blind, how could she be of use to the Chen Family?
The next moment, he announced the result of the investigation and everything.
Chen Yuan’s mother was executed because of her action and there was nothing the young Chen Yuan could do.
She naively thought that there must be a mistake.
But the mocking tone and the way her family members looked down on her told the young Chen Yuan that she should stop dreaming. No one in the Chen Family will care for her, a disable, anymore.
Her heart slowly turned cold.
The young Chen Ye usually didn’t disappoint her.
As for his friendship with the young Chen Yuan, Chen Ye’s mother opened one eye and closed the other. For her, it didn’t matter who Chen Ye was close with as long as his result was good.
But now…
She felt that she had underestimated her son greatly.
Chen Ye’s indifferent gaze made it impossible for her to know what he was thinking. Chen Ye’s mother wanted to scold and yell, but in the end, she snorted and walked away.
“Just be a soldier and don’t hinder Chen Family’s plan anymore.”
“Yes, Mother.”
The young Chen Ye wouldn’t care about the Chen Family’s lofty goal.
As long as it didn’t involve Chen Yuan.
He turned around and saw the young Chen Yuan’s lonely back as she walked to her quarter. He opened his mouth and in the end closed it again without leaking any words out.
‘Sorry, Chen Yuan.’
The young Chen Ye clasped his fingers into a fist and then walked away. The future will be hard. Even if Chen Yuan hated him and wanted to torture him or even kill him in the future, he will never resist.
Because he owed her too much.
