1824 Are your bones so soft?
After ye Chu fell asleep, Jack called ye tingjun downstairs for a drink. He seemed to have something to talk about. Putting aside miss’s identity as President and anti-terrorism, the two of them could be considered acquaintances. Not long after he left, ye Chu woke up. He didn’t sleep well, and his phone kept flashing with unread messages. Ye Chu took a look and was a little surprised. It was a message from Erma. How did she get her phone number?
Ye Chu called xiaoju over and accompanied her downstairs for a walk.”Miss ye Chu, second young master is drinking downstairs. Do you want to go and look for him?”
Xiaoju accompanied her downstairs. She didn’t expect to see Erma downstairs. Erma looked very Haggard, not as bright and beautiful as when she first met him. Xiaoju looked down on this imposter. No matter how excellent and educated he was, his virtue was not good.
“Can I have a word with you in private?”
Ye Chu looked at her coldly. Erma was at a loss. Her eyes were red, as if she had been forced to the edge of a cliff. Her eyebrows were full of despair. The darkness cast a long shadow on them. All the sadness, deception, betrayal, and hurt were hidden under their skin.
Xiaoju said,”miss ye Chu, you can’t trust her. Don’t trust her. I will always be by your side.”
Ye Chu spread out his hands.”Ever since I could remember, I’ve been living on the sea. I don’t know the rules of you mainlanders, but I’ve seen through the hypocrisy and cold-blooded nature of you mainlanders. If you have anything to say, just say it. You can leave after you’re done.”
Erma’s eyes were filled with tears. She blinked her eyes slightly, and her tears were about to fall.”Miss … I’m sorry. I’ve let you down.”
She knelt down with a plop. The floor was made of bluestone, and even Xiao ju felt pain when she knelt down like this. Her knees must have been bruised, and ye Chu slightly avoided her kneeling.
“Are your bones that soft?” She sneered,”you didn’t expect me to come back alive, did you?”
Erma lowered her head and did not say a word. She did not think about it. In the first few years, she was on tenterhooks, as if she was walking on thin ice, afraid that ye Chu would come back one day. But later, she gradually believed that ye Chu was dead and that she could use ye Chu’s identity for the rest of her life. She would get half of Twain’s family’s property and be loved by her family.
She went from being on tenterhooks to accepting everything about Twain’s family with a peace of mind, even if she did not do it willingly in the beginning.
“Miss, I’m sorry.” “Sorry,” Eva apologized with her head lowered.
Erma’s story was a tragedy. Her mother was greedy for money, and her father was a gambler. Her life was not very good, and her family was tortured by her oppressive voice all year round. In the end, she cheated Betty out of her insurance, but Betty’s plan did not succeed. She cheated her insurance, but Erma’s father escaped. A few years later, he pestered them like a parasite and became their nightmare.
After breaking the law and getting paid, she didn’t die and was making a comeback. Betty had no choice but to open up a new path. At that time, they were taking care of little ye Chu and didn’t have much money. They were paid by ye Wen. One day, someone suddenly gave her a large sum of money and asked her to do one thing, which was to take ye Chu’s life, and to do it as if it was an accidental death.
A large sum of money could solve the mother and daughter’s predicament, but it was a good deal to let an unloved child disappear from the world without a trace. Betty was greedy for money, and she began to implement the plan after taking the money. They just didn’t expect that their plan would go wrong and ye Wen would come. Betty’s original plan was to burn ye Chu to death, take the money, and run away, never to come back again.
