It was probably because Song An’s aura was too strong, or because Yu Bo was afraid that he might not be able to invite her back, but a thin layer of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead as he looked at Song An with a helpless expression.
“Miss An, it was all in the past. You’re still keeping it in your heart after so many years? The old master has already regretted it a long time ago.”
“Regretted?” Song An could not help but sneer after hearing it. “Mr. Yu, was what I heard and saw that day at home all fake? If he has even a trace of regret, he wouldn’t be doing these things now! I saw it with my own eyes. Even if he has any regrets, it would be because he didn’t make me and my sister suffer even more!” Song An became extremely agitated when bringing up the past. Anger flowed through her and almost flooded out from her eyes.
Han Muzi was a bit stunned looking at the current Song An. What happened back then? How did… a father and his daughter become like this?
Yu Bo was speechless looking at the furious Song An. However, he remembered that he was here to invite Song An back, though, he had already expected it would fail. As such, he immediately comforted her. “Miss An, please calm down. I’m only here to tell you this. I won’t bring you back forcefully if you don’t want to see the old master.”
After hearing this, Song An realized she had lost her cool and became too agitated. She closed her eyes and tried to control her emotions.
After seeing the situation, Han Muzi stepped forward and stood in front of her while speaking softly to Yu Bo, “Mr. Yu, Miss Song’s emotions are unstable now. I believe it won’t turn out well even if she visits the old master at this time. Why don’t… you just call it a day?” She had spoken mildly, so Yu Bo looked at her with satisfaction.
It was a pity that it was of no use even if he was satisfied. After all, he was just a butler of the Yuchi family who could not do anything. Even though he could give some advice to the Yuchi Family from the sidelines, but… would Yuchi Jin listen? He was indeed very stubborn.
Thinking of this, Yu Bo nodded. “That’s very thoughtful of you, Miss Han. It’s my fault for being too anxious. Then, I’ll have to trouble you to take care of our lady. I’ll take my leave first.”
Han Muzi had a good impression of this Yu Bo even though he had obeyed the old master’s instructions previously and gave her an envelope to make her leave. Even so, she could see that there were no malicious intentions in the butler’s eyes; they were full of kindness. He was a very kind old man.
Thinking of this, Han Muzi smiled at him. “Mr. Yu, have a safe journey.”
After Yu Bo left, she closed the door. Song An was still standing with her back toward her. When the older woman heard Han Muzi taking a deep breath, she turned around to face her. “I lost my cool for a while earlier. Did I scare you?” She never liked showing her fierce side in front of juniors, but she got really angry at the mention of the old man’s affairs. Besides, back then… As she thought about it, her eyes completely darkened.
Han Muzi did not dare to question what happened and shook her head. “No.” Then, she stepped forward and held on to Song Yan’s arm as she whispered, “Your emotions are in a mess right now. Why don’t you leave only after dinner?”
Song An was indeed trembling with anger, so she nodded at her suggestion. “Alright.”
Downstairs, Yu Bo opened the car door and got in. When Yuchi Jin saw that there was only him, disappointment filled his pale eyes. “An still refuses to see me?”
Yu Bo was unsure if it was his own hallucinations, but when Yuchi Jin said this, he thought that the old man grew more white hair on both sides of his head. He did not have that much white hair before. Thinking about Yuchi Jin’s longing for the two sisters and the sadness from those years, Yu Bo could only explain in a gentle tone, “Old Master, don’t be discouraged. Miss An is angry now, so it’s only normal that she refuses to see you. Let’s wait until Miss An has calmed down before we look for her again.”
Yuchi Jin raised his eyes and looked in a certain direction. Those old eyes of his were obviously full of longing for his daughter; he longed to see her again. After so many years, he only got to catch a glance of her.
In the past, Yuchi Jin was arrogant when the two naughty girls said that they would run away from home. He had cruelly told them that they could forget about coming back if they ever left home and that even if their relationship was cut off, he would not go looking for them. Ultimately, he did as he said. He had indeed never gone to look for them. It was only when he received news of Song Xin’s death that he started to regret it. While regretting, he asked someone to go look for Song Xin. However, it turned out that Song Xin had asked someone to pass him a message.
‘Even if I wander aimlessly until I die, I won’t return to the Yuchi Family. I’ve changed my surname and no longer carry the surname Yuchi. I also ask of Old Master Yuchi to remember what he said in the beginning and not disturb my life again.’
At that time, Yuchi Jin was so angry that he almost fell ill. Yu Bo said that he would send someone to look for her again. Still arrogant, Yuchi Jin had waved his hand and said, “Don’t look for her anymore! If she doesn’t want to come back, then she should just stay away forever!”
In a blink of an eye, so many years had passed. Yuchi Jin already had one foot in the coffin, and he did not know if he would suddenly leave the world one day. Thinking of this, he sighed heavily.
“I don’t think she’ll be able to calm down for the rest of her life. If I don’t look for her, then she won’t get angry. The moment I look for her, she’d get angry again. I guess I won’t ever see her again in this lifetime.”
Yu Bo could see that Old Master Yuchi’s eyes and face were full of regret. After thinking for a while, he said, “That shouldn’t be the case. If Miss An really hadn’t calmed down, she wouldn’t have gone home that day.”
When this matter was brought up, the expression on Yuchi Jin’s face became even more helpless. “It’s the first time she came back after so many years, and it was only because of that scoundrel’s affairs. I think if it weren’t for this matter, she wouldn’t even have set foot in the place, let alone come back home.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Bo went with the flow. “Old Master, Miss An rushed over in person for this matter. Perhaps, she really cares about it this time around. Furthermore… I think that your previous actions weren’t too kind, so maybe—”
Yuchi Jin narrowed his eyes and looked at him dangerously. “Yu Bo, what are you trying to say?”
Smiling wryly, Yu Bo did not speak any more.
Yuchi Jin coldly snorted. “Are you trying to say that I’ve done something wrong? I only did all this for the sake of my children.”
Yu Bo was just a butler, so he did not exacerbate it and merely said tacitly, “But if things continue to go this way, then Miss An will only get angrier.”
Yuchi Jin sighed heavily after hearing this and said, “There’s nothing I can do even if she’s angry. I can’t just ignore her because she’s angry right? They’re still young. They’ll understand me when they get older.”
