Chapter 216: Her Past (2)

“I was still a child then and wasn’t able to work at all. When I went to borrow money from my relatives, not one family, including my aunts and uncles, was willing to lend us some money. To them, my father had passed away some time ago and my mother was at death’s door, so since almost all my family members were about to die, it wasn’t worth their time trying to save us. They didn’t know what would happen to me in the future and was even more worried that if they lent money to a child, they might never get it back. Therefore, they refused to even see me and if they could, they would prefer not to have a relative like myself. My mum passed away two months later. Before she passed away, she begged my uncle to take me in and said that he didn’t need to return the 30 thousand dollars. All she wanted him to do was to take care of my high school and university tuition fees.”

“So did you stay with your uncle thereafter?” Ye Hao gently stroked her back. He felt as though his heart was bleeding as she spoke about her tragic past.

He Xiyan smiled wryly but more tears spilled out of her eyes. If she could understand the first part of her story to be about the selfishness of mankind, then her relatives’ actions later left her completely and bitterly disappointed. She never wanted to see these people again.

“No, after my mother passed away, they didn’t even want to spend money to bury her. I borrowed money from my teacher to bury my mother. After that summer was over, I was supposed to start my third year of high school. I visited my uncle, hoping that he would give me money for my school fees but he refused to give me any. He said that I was an arts student and my annual school fees would cost thousands of dollars. He said that he didn’t have money and asked me to sell the house for money to study, and not to look for him again.”

“When I was in my third year of high school, none of them gave me a single cent. To my relatives, I was like a plague to be avoided and they would either take a detour or hide whenever they saw me. I didn’t attend class during the first few days of the new school year since I didn’t have money. Finally, my teacher asked a government officer for help and with his help, I managed to obtain a student loan. I repaid the student loan after I graduated from university. None of my relatives have ever helped me, not one person…”

He Xiyan curled up in Ye Hao’s arms and sobbed, her tears soaking his shirt through.

Ye Hao plucked out some tissue and gently wiped the tears off her face. Compared to her tragic past, despite the absence of his father during his childhood, he had a mother who loved him, and his family was rich so he had led the life of a young master since young. He never had to worry about food or clothes since he had money that he couldn’t even finish spending. He hired the best private tutor and attended the best schools.

“Alright, Yan Yan. Please don’t cry, I’ll chase them out,” Ye Hao helped her up, then he stood up and clenched his fists in anger.

The so-called relatives with such a loose set of morals have dirtied his castle.

He immediately dug out his phone and called the housekeeper.

A few minutes later.

In the two guest rooms on the second floor.

Lu Ming and Lu Tingting were kicked out by security.

“What are you doing? Don’t you know who we are?” Lu Ming shouted loudly, his face as pale as a pear.

“Mister Ye said that you are to leave at once. You’re not welcome here in the future either,” the security said darkly and icily as he pushed Lu Ming out even more forcefully.

“Excuse me?” Lu Ming and Lu Tingting said in unison, thinking that they must have heard wrong.

Ye Hao had treated them well earlier, so what had caused this abrupt change in less than 30 minutes?
