Chapter 133 An Uncontrolled Life
Thinking about how much their Bai family's true treasure had suffered outside, who could accept it? The more doted upon Ye Yage was before, the more disgusted they were with her now. Even if she was an innocent infant back then, it was hard to overcome the hurdle in their hearts, and seeing her now brought an uncontrollable aversion.
"Alright, your father hasn't lost his mind yet. Let Le Qi go by himself. The rest of us will go about our business as usual. We'll just wait at home for the day Xiao Ge officially returns."
Old Mrs. Bai, hearing the old man's final decision, knew she couldn't go out. She sighed, understanding that now was not the time for her to run around.
"Le Qi, when you see Xiao Ge, make sure to tell her that her grandmother misses her dearly and didn't intentionally not visit. Also, tell Xiao Ge that Grandma has prepared many, many good things for her, enough to make up for all she should have enjoyed. It's a pity for the good things I gave Ye Yage; they should have all belonged to Xiao Ge."
Bai Lao Si, with a nonchalant air, sat next to his mother and hugged her. "Mom, don't worry. I'll have your sixth grandson help you get all those things back, and we won't let Ye Yage benefit even a little, alright?"
Old Mrs. Bai gave her youngest son a sidelong glance. This irresponsible fellow, relying on his youngest grandson to sort things out, truly had some capabilities! "Even if those things are brought back, they can't erase the fact that they've been tainted. My Xiao Ge doesn't want used, dirty things. After bringing them back, just throw them away. I won't let outsiders benefit one bit."
"Fine, I'll make sure Mother is satisfied." Old Mrs. Bai disdainfully pushed her youngest son away. She had to hurry upstairs to prepare a welcome gift for her Xiao Ge. "I need to get busy preparing gifts. All of you, go and prepare. We absolutely cannot let my Xiao Ge be wronged."
And so, the Bai family busied themselves collectively late into the night. Even Old Master Bai went to his secret room to select gifts. Ye Sheng Ge, who had slept soundly through the night, was unaware that someone was envious of her, someone was busy for her, and even more so, someone harbored hatred towards her.
Ye Yage returned home from school and looked at the dark, empty house, feeling a chill. When did this home start changing? Her father was always busy, that was one thing. Her eldest brother disappeared immediately after being discharged from the hospital. Her mother, who used to be around, was now staying at the Bai family's, under the guise of taking care of the elders. She was directly refused when she wanted to move into the Bai family's, and now she was left to face this empty house alone. Was it this pragmatic just because she wasn't their biological child? Since someone told her everything, she felt her mindset had changed drastically.
Ye Yage felt a sense of confusion, fear, and a strange hatred. When she was rational, she knew she shouldn't hate and should explain everything to her parents. After all, she was just an innocent person chosen. But Ye Yage also feared that after explaining everything, she would be driven away. Who would keep a potential danger around? At that point, she would have betrayed the person behind her, lost all her value, and what would become of her?
The inexplicable hatred in Ye Yage's heart stemmed from the person behind her and Ye family's real daughter. If the person behind her hadn't sought her out, wouldn't all her current possessions be unbroken? If Ye family's real daughter hadn't been found, wouldn't she have been able to impersonate her and live in a lie forever? These emotions continued to plague Ye Yage, but she clearly knew she could only obey the person behind her. Otherwise, she wouldn't know how she died. She didn't want to die; she was still young and had many things to do.
Ye Yage thought of Han Yu Yan, the man she liked most. Her goal used to be him, thinking that with the Ye family's status, the Han family would gladly accept her. But now, the order she received was to contact another stranger, possibly better than Han Yu Yan in ability and family background. But she didn't want to. The thought of marrying a stranger pained her heart. Looking at the packet of medicine in her hand, she smiled bitterly. What did they take her for? A cheap woman who could be sold at any time. Was this her fate? Ye Yage wanted to fight for herself once. If she succeeded, nothing would be different; not only would her status be almost the same, but she could also be with the one she loved. The packet of medicine in her hand was clutched tightly, and a decision was made in her heart.
Ye Sheng Ge slept until she woke up naturally. A good night's sleep left her feeling very energetic. She checked her watch; it was only five in the morning. Hearing no movement outside, she got up and went to the bathroom, locked the door, and slipped into her space. Breathing the air in the space made her feel even more invigorated. She hadn't even washed up last night before going to sleep, so she quickly took a proper bath in the space's bathroom. With her hair down, she slowly drank a cup of well water. Looking at the vast expanse of lush plants from the balcony filled her with satisfaction. She figured it was time to harvest something today. Since moving into this Western-style house, her access to the space hadn't been as convenient. She had to quickly take care of things in the space whenever she had time. After a period of activity, she quickly filled the water barrels. The lack of rivers or streams in the space was inconvenient, so it was her habit to fill up on water whenever she had the chance. Who knew what unexpected situations might arise, and being without water could be a big trouble.
After finishing everything, she checked the time; it was only six o'clock. She left the space and packed her things for school today. From today onwards, she had to study diligently and quickly complete her high school courses. It was quite frustrating that one couldn't go to university in this era; this was simply a chaotic world beyond compare. Ye Sheng Ge no longer relied on the historical memories in her mind, as not a single event aligned with the historical progression of her previous life. She could only take one step at a time, as danger was always lurking everywhere.
Ye Sheng Ge, in a good mood, went downstairs with her schoolbag. She found that everyone had already woken up. Zi Yi Sheng and her eldest brother were reading newspapers, the elders were exercising outside, and the rest were busy with their own affairs.
"Xiao Ge is awake. Did you sleep well last night?" Ye Mu En walked forward as soon as he saw his sister, stroking her long hair. "I slept extremely well. Nurse Wei is really amazing."
"I'm glad you like her. Nurse Wei will come every day to give you massages from now on." Zi Yi Sheng also walked forward. Seeing that the little girl's complexion had significantly improved, he felt very happy. "Class starts at seven-thirty, you need to hurry." Ye Sheng Ge smiled at Zi Yi Sheng, expressing her gratitude for his arrangements. The elders also returned to their rooms to wash up, and breakfast was soon laid out on the table. Ye Sheng Ge looked at the table with eggs, porridge, and steamed buns. Such a meal made everyone very satisfied. However, thinking that Zi Yi Sheng was solely responsible for all of this made her feel a little guilty. She had such a large space and also had to contribute to this family.
