Chapter 949: Jin’s Credit

Editor: Henyee Translations

In truth, Ye Qingzi’s feelings for Tong Wan were not very deep. She had hoped Tong Wan would wake up and continue to support her, including in her desire to be matched with Xiao Yize.

When she learned that Gu Yang was Tong Wan’s daughter, she realized that her hopes were dashed.

Tong Wan looked at the unfamiliar young woman in front of her and felt a bit uncomfortable. However, given her relationship with Qin Shuzhen, she felt it was inappropriate to say anything.

At that moment, Xiao Yize and Gu Jin approached.

Xiao Yize was not polite to Ye Qingzi. “Ye Qingzi, it’s good that you recognize your fault. Since you feel guilty, stay away from my mother and sister.”

Ye Qingzi looked at Xiao Yize in shock, not expecting him to be so harsh in front of their families.

“Brother Yize, I know you resent me, but now that Auntie Tong is awake and your sister is back safely…”

Gu Yang couldn’t help but roll her eyes, though her tone remained gentle. “Miss Ye, these issues are not your concern.”

“That’s right. It’s thanks to Jin that my mother woke up, and it’s thanks to Jin and Uncle Gu that my sister was safely returned to the Gu family.”

When Xiao Yize spoke to Ye Qingzi, his voice was as cold as snow. Yet, Gu Yang could detect a hint of pride beneath the chill.

Ye Qingzi looked at Xiao Yize and Gu Jin, standing side by side, and found their presence glaring.

Qin Shuzhen glanced at Gu Yang and Xiao Yize, then turned to Tong Wan with an awkward expression. “Ah-Wan…”

Ye Qingzi also turned to Tong Wan, grabbing her sleeve with eyes full of grievance. “Auntie Tong Wan, I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault…”

Ye Qingzi felt that Xiao Yize and Gu Yang were being harsh. Though Gu Jin remained silent, her presence and her hand held by Xiao Yize spoke volumes about her support.

As long as Auntie Tong Wan forgave her, Ye Qingzi hoped she could smooth things over despite the harshness from Xiao Yize and Gu Yang.

Auntie Tong Wan had always been kind and forgiving, and as a close friend of her mother’s, she would surely understand. However, at that moment, Tong Wan slowly pulled her sleeve away.

Ye Qingzi and Qin Shuzhen were stunned.

Tong Wan’s expression remained unchanged, her smile gentle and appropriate. “Qingzi, I appreciate that you’re admitting your mistake. However, it wasn’t just Yangyang and me who were affected by your actions. I can’t forgive you on behalf of all the lives lost.”

Ye Qingzi was left speechless.

If Tong Wan hadn’t mentioned it, she would have long forgotten the others who had perished alongside them.

Qin Shuzhen interjected, “Ah-Wan, I understand your kindness. It must be hard for you to move on from those who died. But rest assured, their families have been compensated by the country, and our Ye family has also provided significant support. Their relatives have been taken care of.”

That money was something the families of the deceased could never hope to earn in their lifetimes.

When Ye Qingzi heard Qin Shuzhen’s words, the guilt and self-blame she felt immediately began to fade.

Yes, compensation had been provided, and the families of the deceased had moved on. Why was Tong Wan still dwelling on it?

Tong Wan suddenly reached up to massage her temples, as if she had a headache. She spoke to Qin Shuzhen with visible exhaustion.

“Shuzhen, life cannot be measured in money. I’ve just recovered from a serious illness and can’t handle any more distress. Seeing your daughter reminds me of what happened back then. Please, take her away.”
