Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 93 - 90 Mrs. Ye

"Weiwei, then you must think it through carefully. Is he really the only one for you? If you can’t let go, then you have to accept it! Slowly, bit by bit, you can win him over! Besides, what other girl could be as outstanding and beautiful as my Weiwei? How could her mother not know?"

"Oh, Mom, you always think everything about me is perfect! But I did suspect someone—a girl from a small, modest family. Later, I tested the waters and found out it wasn’t true, so I let it go." Ye Duowei’s mind flashed with the image of Li Si.

Although somewhat suspicious, she had been back in the country for so long, and the two of them barely interacted at all. So she had gradually dismissed the thought.

"A modest background? Yin Xian’s mother would never approve of that! Others might not understand her character, but I do. Weiwei, remember this: when it comes to his mother, you need to butter her up, flatter her often—she’s just vain like that! Yin Xian, that boy, I’ve seen it too, he’s got a bit of a temper, but he listens to his mother in the end!" Mrs. Ye shared her advice and analyzed the situation.

"Oh, Mom, you’re amazing! I’ve been doing exactly as you said, and now, whenever I say something, Yin Xian’s mom definitely supports me! Brother Xian’s objections are useless now! Mom, has Dad not come home yet?" She saw it was already past 9 p.m., but there was still no sign of her father.

"Your dad has a dinner engagement tonight; he called and said he’d be home late. Weiwei, right now, all Mom wants is for you to be healthy, happy, and content!" Mrs. Ye sighed deeply, her thoughts turning to her sister’s child, which pulled at her heartstrings.

"Mom, are you feeling emotional because of Kesong? Don’t worry, we’re both such powerful families—how could we fail to find suitable bone marrow? It’s just a matter of time!" Ye Duowei tried to soothe her mother.

Mrs. Ye sighed and said, "Silly child, being sick isn’t something money and power can always cure. Today, at your grandmother’s house, your aunt was crying her eyes out. She couldn’t show her sorrow in front of her child or her husband, so she poured her heart out at your grandmother’s house. Your aunt’s life has truly been tragic!"

Thinking of seeing her younger sister in such agony today tore at Mrs. Ye’s feelings, too.

Lately, she kept wondering: If her younger sister had never been brought back all those years ago, would life have turned out differently? Pushing those thoughts aside, she shook her head—that kind of life, with no money or influence, struggling every day to make ends meet, would’ve been even harder.

As the saying goes: "When poverty strikes, love fades away." What’s more, their current lives are so comfortable—the only regret being that Kesong’s health is so poor, and now he’s even been diagnosed with leukemia!

She let out a silent sigh. Alas, perhaps this was her younger sister’s fate!

"True enough. I should go visit my aunt one day and try to brighten her mood! I remember how, ever since I was little, my aunt has always doted on me! Even if she’s buying something for Kesong, my share is always included!" Ye Duowei was very close to her aunt growing up. During times when she felt she couldn’t talk to her mother, she’d confide everything to her aunt. Even during the years she spent abroad, their phone calls never ceased, and her aunt frequently sent her gifts!

"That’s more like it! Weiwei, you really need to grow up now and hurry up with the wedding to Yin Xian! While Mom’s still in good health, I’d be satisfied to meet my grandson! Nowadays, people’s health is so fragile. Your dad’s subordinate, Uncle Wang’s wife, was recently diagnosed with late-stage cervical cancer!"

The younger sister did indeed spoil Weiwei excessively. Truth be told, the whole family understood it. It was all to make up for the guilt they felt toward that other child, trying to compensate through Weiwei.

Thinking of that other child, Mrs. Ye furrowed her brow in deep thought. If absolutely necessary, she might have to track them down. That child’s bone marrow would likely have higher compatibility.

But this was something that would need careful planning. Her sister’s husband’s family was quite influential and renowned, and they were unaware of this matter back then. At this critical juncture, how could she possibly bring it up?

And what if—what if the match wasn’t successful, and the truth about that child came to light? Would it affect her sister’s life going forward? That would be a disaster!

Moreover, so many years had passed, and the world was vast. Even if they wanted to find the child, where would they start? Were they even alive? After all, the child had been so young back then.

This was exhausting to think about! Mrs. Ye massaged her temples, headache brewing.

"No way! Cancer? I think I remember—isn’t she the really beautiful lady?" Ye Duowei’s jaw dropped in surprise. She still had an impression of that aunt—not only was she gorgeous, but she had an air of elegance about her, always speaking softly and gently.

"What’s not possible about it? That’s why you need to hurry up! Weiwei, you never know when Mom might get seriously ill too!"

"Pfft, pfft, pfft! Mom, what are you saying? Don’t curse yourself! My mom will live to be a hundred years old! I want you to watch my children grow up with me!" Ye Duowei snuggled affectionately into her mother’s embrace.

"Alright, Mom will take good care of her health and wait for that day!" The mother and daughter fell into silence, both lost in their own thoughts.

...

At Mrs. Ye’s maternal family home.

The elderly woman glared fiercely at her eldest daughter. What was going on today? Knowing how much her youngest daughter cared about this issue, yet bringing it up—that was rubbing salt in the wound!

"Mom, why are you glaring at me? Right now, the most crucial thing is to find suitable bone marrow for Kesong and proceed with the transplant as soon as possible! At this point, does any of that matter?" The eldest daughter tirelessly tried to reason. What could possibly be more important than saving the child’s life?

"You’ve said it all now! If you knew this, then why did you persuade your younger sister to marry the eldest son of the Yan Family back then? Now you remember that child? You should think carefully. Back then, the family was so ruthless—would the other side willingly send the child over for you to do a transplant?" The elderly woman, recalling the past, regretted her own softness, the stubbornness of the old man, and the enabling of the eldest daughter!

"Mom, what kind of talk is that? Back then, weren’t Dad and I doing it for the sake of my younger sister’s future? What future could she have had with that man? Would she have the comfortable life she has now? Can you stop blaming me every time something happens?"

She still felt indignant about the past. Yes, she had made mistakes back then, like giving her younger sister’s letter confirming her safe return to their father.

But it was for her sister’s own good! If she had spent her whole life with a poor rural boy, what kind of future would she expect?

Standing silently the whole time, the youngest daughter quietly wiped away tears. What kind of life was this? The lover she thought she could spend her life with was torn away by her father’s interference. The daughter she gave birth to was so young when she disappeared forever. Then, after being forced to return home, she was married off within a year into the Yan Family, and though she bore a son, he was frail and sickly. Now, without a successful bone marrow transplant, he could only wait for death.
