Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 376

Chapter 376: Chapter 376 Probing

After all, the little girl had been adopted by the Chu Family and indeed raised like a treasured pearl. They also feared that she wouldn’t want to acknowledge them.

Just as the Ye family had discussed, Shi Jingfang was currently chatting with Yunyi about family matters. "Yunyi," she asked, "if one day your biological parents came looking for you, would you acknowledge them?"

Yunyi swallowed the food in her mouth and, after some thought, replied, "That would depend on why they didn’t want me back then and why they haven’t found me all these years. Also, I’d have to see if the whole family genuinely wanted to acknowledge me.

"After all, I’ve grown up now, and I’m living quite well without them, so why bother bringing a whole bunch of trouble upon myself by acknowledging them?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Jingfang felt very anxious. What Yunyi said wasn’t wrong. I truly fear that after Yunyi learns the truth, she’ll become estranged from me. After all, if I hadn’t left her side back then, that woman Qin Lijuan wouldn’t have succeeded in her scheme. Yunyi would have been doted on and raised with the love of her parents and brothers. And to think, the little girl was later adopted by the Chu Family... if it weren’t for Chu Yuanzhan and Ding Zhilan, I daren’t imagine the consequences.

Yunyi sensed there was more to Shi Jingfang’s words. Suddenly thinking of something, she probed, "Aunt Jingfang, why did you suddenly bring these things up?"

Shi Jingfang cleared her throat lightly, masking her expression. Just as she was about to speak, she heard someone shout, "Yunyi, the director is looking for you! He wants you to go over after you’ve finished eating." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Shi Jingfang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and quickly changed the subject. "You should hurry and get going. I also have errands to run this afternoon, so I might not be back tonight."

Yunyi still felt that Shi Jingfang was acting strangely. However, since the director was looking for me, I’ll put this aside for now.

「Two days later.」

Their two sons quickly came over to lend a hand, helping their father make their mother comfortable.

Once they were done, Ye Wenhui whispered, "It’s a good thing Mom listened to reason. If this had gone on for a few more days, I was really afraid her body wouldn’t have been able to take it."

Ye Wenhao spoke up, "Dad, if Little Sister acknowledges us, should we try to find a way to bring her back to Beijing?"

Ye Bingyu looked out the window. "That will depend on her wishes."

Though he said that, he felt uneasy. There was a reason for his apprehension. Currently, every family was supposed to send children to the countryside. In their family, because their eldest and second sons were twins, they had graduated high school and, before the Educated Youth Office could mobilize them, one had joined the army, and the other had passed an exam on his own merit to become a junior clerk in a government office. When it was Wen Yue’s turn to graduate from high school, Ye Wenhui had pulled strings to get her a spot in a cultural troupe. Because of this, it wasn’t that no one wanted to cause trouble for them, but they refrained out of respect for the family’s patriarch, so no one spread malicious gossip. However, if they brought Yunyi back to Beijing, he feared some people would undoubtedly step forward to make an issue of it.
