Chapter 292 - Time To Heal (2/2)

Xu Mey stayed quiet, thinking about what he had just said. She was being emotional for the sake of Ye Jun and was letting her emotions dictate her actions. But after Ye Jie cleared things up, she actually felt that she was being biased.

"I need to tell you something." She heard Ye Jie's voice and in a daze, she hummed in reply gesturing him to continue. "My mom sent Mrs. Ye to the prison."

Xu Mey opened her eyes immediately and titled her head to face Ye Jie. Did he know? Since when? Xu Mey was wondering when Ye Jie answered, "Actually, mom sent her to prison because I asked her to be lenient." Xu Mey was even more perplexed.

"Why? Why would you plead for her? Aren't you angry with her?" Xu Mey voiced out her queries.

"Yes... I am angry. But she raised me all these years. Even though she wasn't exceptionally nice to me but she never treated me shabbily as well. In reality, I even thought about forgiving her completely because I didn't want to dwell into this unnecessary affair. But mom didn't agree with that." Xu Mey couldn't believe the fact that the revenge which she just called boring was actually planned by her own husband. "Also, I can't forget that she's the reason I have you in my life." Xu Mey really wished to argue until he said the last sentence.

"But she deprived you of your mother's love for all these years. She took your identity from you. Don't you think that's enough of a reason for her to reap what she sowed?" Xu Mey said feeling repugnant while even talking about Zhou Ning.

"I think I'll still choose to forget instead of making a huge mess for Mr. Ye. After all, he's innocent in this matter and if this whole thing blew up, Ye Jun and Mr. Ye will have to bear the consequences which I don't want." Xu Mey finally understood his real reason for letting Zhou Ning go so easily. He was worried for Ye Jun.

"Does Jun know about his mother?" asked Xu Mey cautiously.

"Yeah... I asked him before doing anything. I couldn't possibly leave him in the dark," replied Ye Jie.

"How is he taking it?"

"Actually, he's taking it better than I thought. He seems a lot mature than he used to be. I still can't leave him alone." Ye Jie's answer put her at ease. "You don't have to concern yourself about this. I know you're already buried under a lot of pressure from work. Let me know if you need any hel-" Before he could complete his sentence, he noticed Xu Mey had fallen asleep with her head on his shoulder. "You really are tired." He whispered softly and picked her up to take her back to the bedroom.
