Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 378: Chapter 378: Don’t Want to Return to the Ye Family

Ye Bingyu, afraid that Yunyi wouldn’t believe him, took out a photo of his sister. ”Yunyi, this is your aunt’s photo.”

Yunyi took it and saw that the person in the photo did indeed bear a strong resemblance to her.

Yunyi returned the photo. ”Just based on looks, aren’t you afraid of mistaking me for someone else?”

Shi Jingfang hurriedly spoke up. ”That day at the hospital, I asked you about your blood type. Also, my asking you to accompany me to the bathhouse to bathe was an intentional arrangement. Please don’t be angry.”

With Ye Wenhui and Ye Wenhao present, Shi Jingfang leaned close to Yunyi’s ear and whispered, ”I just wanted to confirm if you have a small red mole on your inner thigh.”

Yunyi knew her own body better than anyone. Upon hearing Shi Jingfang’s words, she understood. She truly was the daughter of the Ye Family, switched at birth by a woman who had once coveted her biological father.

Xia Dongxue looked at Yunyi with red eyes. ”I’m sorry. If I hadn’t been so physically weak back then and suffered complications, you wouldn’t have been switched without anyone realizing it.”

Shi Jingfang also spoke up. ”If anyone should say sorry, it’s me. If I hadn’t left your side to clean up the broken glass, Qin Lijuan wouldn’t have succeeded.”

Seeing that her biological father Ye Bingyu and her two biological brothers also wanted to speak, Yunyi quickly stopped them. ”Since you’ve confirmed it, I truly am your daughter from the Ye Family. And indeed, I was intentionally switched with someone else back then. I don’t blame you all for that. You must have also investigated my situation. The Chu Family is no more, but they left everything to me. Therefore, I can’t be ungrateful and just walk away.”

Upon hearing this, Xia Dongxue burst into tears. ”You don’t want to forgive us? You don’t want to return to the Ye Family?”

Yunyi waved her hand. ”That’s not what I mean. You said it yourselves: the girl you raised is from another branch of the Ye Family. If I were to return, she would definitely be upset. I’m not disowning you, but there’s no need for me to return to the Ye Family. After all, I’m grown up now, I’m in a relationship, and I might get married soon. Most importantly, the Chu Family has no one left. They raised me like their own precious treasure, and I can’t be so heartless as to immediately claim my place in the Ye Family.”

Actually, Yunyi’s true thought was that she hated trouble more than anything.

The girl they had raised would undoubtedly feel resentful too. If she had a good disposition, they might be able to coexist peacefully. But if she were scheming, underhanded tactics would be inevitable. It was far better to acknowledge them but not return to the Ye Family; that way, she could avoid a lot of trouble.

If they truly cared for her, they would protect her regardless of whether she returned to the Ye Family or not. But she didn’t want to gamble on that. She could live freely on her own and had no desire to bring a group of people into her life to manage her.

Upon hearing Yunyi’s words, Xia Dongxue choked up. ”Yunyi, I know what you’re worrying about. Before Mom and Dad came to the Northwest, we had already moved Wen Yue back to her biological parents’ place.”

”Before we knew about your existence, we poured all our love into Wen Yue. Now, Mom and Dad just want to compensate you; no one else can take your place.”

Yunyi looked at Xia Dongxue steadily. Although her words sounded reassuring now, the girl who had grown up with them was, after all, still a child of the Ye Family. They had doted on her for so many years; such deep affection couldn’t be severed so easily.

No matter how she thought about it, acknowledging her Ye family members but not returning to the Ye household was what benefited her most. She didn’t want to return only to engage in battles for favoritism; having lived through several lifetimes, those were precisely the things she detested the most.
