Sister Sun nodded, sighing, “The orphanage director sent some photos, Young Master’s hands, feet, and ears were frostbitten, Madam often wept over those photos, but looking back, those hardships were essential trials in his life. Without them, how could he have grown into the towering Master Ye of today?”
Tang Sihai nodded slightly, “You’re right, Sister Sun, Young Master crawled through the mud for years, and this muddy pond of Jinling couldn’t stop him from soaring to the skies.”
Sister Sun smiled, “But a pond is still a pond, Madam thinks it’s time for Young Master to break free of it completely.”
Tang Sihai asked, “The pond you mean is the Xiao family, right?”
“Yes,” Sister Sun nodded firmly, “You’ve been the Ye family’s steward for years, everyone in the Ye family has likely heard your name, and there’s plenty about you online, if you meet Xiao Churan and tell her the truth about Young Master’s background, she surely won’t doubt it.”
Tang Sihai asked, “If Xiao Churan learns this, does Madam hope she’ll divorce Young Master?”
“Exactly,” Sister Sun said, “Madam reckons, given Xiao Churan’s character, if she learns Young Master has hidden this from her for years, and kept so many things from her, she’ll definitely leave him.”
She hesitated, then continued, “But Madam isn’t sure if Young Master will willingly let Xiao Churan go, so you need to find a chance to talk to her, make her understand that staying by his side will not only burden him but also bring unnecessary danger to her and her family, ideally, she’ll willingly leave him.”
Tang Sihai said worriedly, “Young Master cares deeply for her, if I convince her to leave, with his abilities, finding her won’t be hard, he has an entire AI model and a network covering airports and docks worldwide.”
Sister Sun smiled, “If she’s willing to leave, Madam will arrange for her and her family to quietly leave China, ensuring Young Master can’t find her, when Madam can finally meet Young Master, she’ll explain everything, and if he still wants to find Xiao Churan then, Madam won’t stop him.”
She added, “By then, you can return to China too, if Young Master needs you, you’ll serve him, if not, you can retire and enjoy a peaceful life.”
Tang Sihai nodded lightly, sighing, “Madam breaking him and Miss Xiao apart, I wonder if Young Master will resent her.”
Sister Sun sighed helplessly, “Even if he does, Madam has no choice, otherwise, he’ll never cut his ties, that Xiao girl and the people in Jinling will always hold him back.”
She asked him, “Do you think if Young Master learns Madam has been orchestrating everything behind the scenes for years, he’ll resent her?”
“Probably not,” Tang Sihai said, “After all, Madam has had a hard time too.”
“Exactly,” Sister Sun smiled, “Madam and Young Master are both working towards the same goal, only when it’s achieved can mother and son reunite!”
