Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 471: Embracing Memories of the Past

Seeing Zhuo Fengʼerʼs previously complex eyes now turn hollow, Ye Fei grew even more worried. He tentatively asked, ”What do you plan to do with that bastard?”

Since the manʼs name shared the last two characters with his fatherʼs, Ye Fei refrained from calling him by name and used ”bastard” instead.

Zhuo Fengʼer understood who he was referring to and sighed softly, ”Donʼt make things difficult for him. He was once a pure-hearted kid, and itʼs my fault heʼs become like this. Let him have those assets as compensation. Also, please tell your mom Iʼm sorry. The past wasnʼt her fault; I was too stubborn.”

From Zhuo Fengʼerʼs seemingly enlightened words, Ye Fei confirmed his suspicions. He became extremely anxious. Even if he hadnʼt developed feelings for Zhuo Fengʼer, he wouldnʼt let her wither away like this.

But now, having let go of her hatred for his mom, she seemed to have lost her will to live. Ye Fei needed to give her a new purpose, even if it was fueled by hatred.

”Aunt Feng, can you tell me about your relationship with my dad?” Ye Fei asked after making up his mind.

Mentioning Ye Lingyun brought a gentle look to Zhuo Fengʼerʼs hollow eyes. Her face flushed slightly, and she said softly, ”Can you step out for a moment?”

After their passionate encounter, Ye Fei had remained inside her. Earlier, her desire to die had made her indifferent to it. But now, thinking about the man she loved, she felt uncomfortable with his son still inside her.

Reluctant to part with the tight, enveloping sensation, Ye Fei knew he couldnʼt rush things. He slowly withdrew, noticing the bloodstains on the white sheets.

Realizing she had preserved her chastity for nearly twenty years for his father, only to lose it to him tonight, Ye Fei felt a deep sense of responsibility to cherish her.

Once they were completely separated, Ye Fei gently pulled Zhuo Fengʼerʼs fiery, sensual body into his arms and said, ”Now, can you tell me?”

Perhaps because they had already done the most intimate thing, Zhuo Fengʼer didnʼt resist Ye Feiʼs embrace. She leaned against him, her eyes reflecting a warm glow, and began, ”I was only seventeen when I met him. Like many girls my age, I dreamed of becoming a star. One day, a man claiming to be a talent scout approached me. Society wasnʼt as complicated back then, and scams involving star dreams hadnʼt been exposed. So, I believed him without hesitation. Little did I know, he was a fraud.

When I went to the place he mentioned to sign a contract, he and his accomplices revealed their true intentions.

As a seventeen-year-old girl, I was no match for several grown men. The house they rented was in a remote area, so no one could hear me scream. I was desperate and contemplating suicide to preserve my dignity when he kicked the door open and appeared like a god.”

At this point, Zhuo Fengʼer looked up at Ye Feiʼs face. The scene tonight was eerily similar to that day. Both times, she was at her most desperate, and both times, a god-like figure appeared.

Subconsciously, she had mistaken Ye Fei for his father, not just because of their similar demeanor, but also because of this parallel. At this moment, she felt a strange sensation, as if Ye Fei and Ye Lingyunʼs images were merging in her mind.

Ye Fei, guessing her thoughts from her gaze, pretended not to notice and gestured for her to continue.

Taking a deep breath, Zhuo Fengʼer suppressed her emotions and continued, ”From that moment, I fell deeply in love with him. But he was already married. Later, through your mom, I met his wife.

She was a kind and gentle person who treated me and your mom like her own daughters. I didnʼt want to ruin their relationship, so I silently guarded my feelings.

When his wife suddenly passed away, I was heartbroken but also felt a glimmer of hope. I knew my chance had come. Although the Liu and Ye families were planning a marriage alliance, I knew he and your mom only had sibling-like feelings for each other. So, I approached him.”

”If thatʼs the case, why did you give up and reveal my momʼs whereabouts?” Ye Fei asked, seizing the opportunity to address a long-standing question since his aunt had mentioned the past.

Zhuo Fengʼer sighed deeply and continued, ”When I confessed my feelings to him, he said that with his wifeʼs death, his heart had died too. His only goal was to grow the Lingyun Association. I knew that to achieve this, a marriage alliance with the Liu family was the best option. So, to fulfill my wish, I betrayed your mom and left Wang Hai City.”

Although he knew that without those events, he wouldnʼt exist, Ye Fei couldnʼt help but feel indignant for his beloved mom. He snorted, ”But did any of you consider my momʼs feelings?”

”You misunderstand your father,” Zhuo Fengʼer said.

”Both your mom and dad opposed the marriage alliance at first. But after your grandfather found your mom, she changed her mind and agreed to the marriage. Your dad tried to persuade her, but she wouldnʼt listen. I still donʼt understand why.”

Zhuo Fengʼer didnʼt understand, but Ye Fei had some ideas. Although his mom had never spoken about it, he had pieced together some clues. Initially, his mom opposed the marriage because, like any young girl, she dreamed of a beautiful romance and didnʼt want to marry someone she saw as a brother.

But dreams are just dreams, and without experiencing true love, they donʼt leave a deep impression.

Under his grandfatherʼs pressure, and wanting to help her best friend take care of her daughter, his mom made that decision.

Ye Fei believed that if he had already been born then, his mom would have refused to marry, even if it meant death. Of course, that was an impossible scenario.
