Chapter 666
Xia Yanyan took a deep breath, then another deep breath. She must be going crazy. They weren’t even sure if that mermaid was Xia Qiongqiong yet, but her parents were already reacting like this. If it was confirmed that the mermaid was Xia Qiongqiong, wouldn’t all the love she enjoyed in this house be taken away?
Were these the same parents she had always known, who had treated her like a precious gem? How could they have changed so much? She couldn’t believe how ugly they had become.
There was no way she was going to make that call.
Wang Zimei picked up the phone her husband had thrown onto the couch, if her daughter wouldn’t call, she would.
Once the call connected, Wang Zimei was beside herself with excitement. “Son, have you seen the video on Weibo? Qiongqiong might not be dead. Your father and I are so thrilled. Please, you must find Qiongqiong and bring her back.”
On the other end of the phone, there was no reply from Xia Ye Zhao. He was breathing heavily, but didn’t make a sound.
...
“Son, have you heard me? Qiongqiong, whom you’ve always been thinking of, might not be dead. We owe her so much for all these years. Your dad and I will make it up to her, I promise. But first, you need to find Qiongqiong. She’s your sister.”
Xia Ye Zhao hesitated for quite some time, “She probably doesn’t want to come home. I suggest that you don’t bother her.”
“What kind of nonsense are you talking about? She’s your father’s and my daughter, of course we have to bring her back home. What do you mean by bothering her? Do you already know she’s alive? Do you know where she is?” Wang Zimei’s voice betrayed her curiosity.
“Maybe if you’d been nicer to her, I might have persuaded her to come home. But now, do you think she’d want to come back to us? She’s doing very well. Not bothering her is the best thing our family can do for her.”
Her little sister had left home twice. Each time, their parents had broken her heart.
Besides, could they really reclaim a grown-up daughter who had been fostered by someone else? There was no way Xia Ye Zhao was going to ask for that.
Wang Zimei was livid. “What do you mean? We always treated her well. We fed her, cared for her. We only released her because she was too sick for us to help her. Do you think our hearts don’t ache for her? Tell me where she is right now. I understand your sister’s temperament. As long as I explain it to her, she’ll come back, I know it. Give me her phone number.”
Wang Zimei knew her daughter well, Qiongqiong was always craving for love. Even a little would make her overjoyed.
Releasing her was indeed their mistake, but everyone makes mistakes. She would make up for it in the future. Was there any resentment between a mother and her daughter that couldn’t be healed?
“Mom, I have to go into a meeting now.”
Xia Ye Zhao hung up the phone immediately. He then opened the video that Tang Zhou had posted. Even he wasn’t sure if the mermaid in the video was his sister. He remembered that her tail was gray, but in the video Tang Zhou had posted, the tail was blue.
Could it really be true that girls change a lot as they grow up? noveldrama
Was this blessing from heaven for Qiongqiong?
Xia Ye Zhao felt relieved and happy for his sister. He remembered how scared she used to be about exposing her fish tail. Her sense of inferiority, which was so pitiful, was what hurt Xia Ye Zhao the most.
Xia Ye Zhao sat in his office for a long time, his phone kept ringing. His mother and father kept calling, but he didn’t want to answer.
When it was time to get off work, Ye Xingguang tidied up her desk, picked up her handbag, and headed downstairs with two female colleagues.
They had just reached the downstairs when they saw Ye Junqing’s fleet of cars parked in front of the office building.
“Wow, Xingguang, you’re so lucky, Mr. Ye is personally picking you up from work.” Her female colleagues sounded envious.
She smiled gently, waved goodbye to her colleagues and said, “See you tomorrow.”
