"In my view, no matter how far astray a person has gone, as long as they’re willing to turn back, fate won’t treat them unfairly."
These words from Jin Chenye were not intended as a deliberate consolation.
In fact, Ye Mingi from her student days left a genuinely good impression on him.
She wasn’t as clever as Qin Youxuan, but she was very hardworking.
A rich young lady who would ponder over a case the entire night.
He rembers soone in the group asking her once, with the Ye Family being so wealthy, she wouldn’t starve even if she did nothing her whole life, so why bother working so hard.
Ye Mingi, with the panda eyes from staying up all night, rubbed her forehead, glanced at that person, and continued to organize the data.
It took a long ti before she softly replied, "I don’t want to disappoint my dad."
Ye Mingi’s sorrow lay in her inability to maintain her calm amidst deliberate flattery and sycophancy.
Which led to her losing her basic ability to judge after Ye Zhanxing passed away.
Fortunately, she did not lose her innate kindness.
"Is there really still a chance?" Ye Mingi’s body stiffened, then she nervously clenched Jin Chenye’s arm, her eyes brimming with tears, like a child waiting for affirmation.
"The world is so vast, it can surely accommodate soone as small as you. You’ve only made a mistake, not an unforgivable sin. No one is perfect without fault," Jin Chenye’s eyes darkened slightly.
"I was once like you, stuck in my turmoil, not choosing to trust her, pushing her away from myself. That, I regret most in my life."
"..."
Ye Mingi shook slightly and looked up at him, "Senior, you..."
"I’m fine, it’s all in the past, and I’m doing well now." Jin Chenye let go of Ye Mingi, his hand resting on her forehead, his tone soothing like soone calming a temperantal younger sister.
"Stop wandering in your thoughts. What you should do now is take good care of yourself. Once you are capable of protecting the people around you, maybe you won’t care so much about the gossip and rumors."
"I understand, thank you, Senior." Ye Mingi nodded obediently, like a child who had been taught a lesson.
Jin Chenye curved his fingers and tapped her on the forehead as a reminder.
"Stop calling Senior when we’re not in GW. Just call by my na."
"Jin... Chenye."
Ye Mingi awkwardly called out, exceedingly submissive.
A blush of embarrassnt washed over her beautiful face, turning it completely red.
"That’s better. Work hard on being yourself, and leave the rest to be proven by ti." Jin Chenye withdrew his hand and walked towards his car.
After getting into the car, he turned to take one more look at Ye Mingi.
Ye Mingi imdiately smiled and waved at him, "Sen... Jin Chenye goodbye."
Jin Chenye watched her tongue-tied annoyed expression, his lips curling into a gentle smile, he nodded at her and drove away.
...
The police station.
A heavy atmosphere enveloped the place.
Yu Xiuzhun, clad in black leather and heavy tal-studded combat boots, exuded a diabolical charm that gave off an ominous Asura vibe.
As he stepped into the reception room, the whole area beca oppressive.
"Mr. Yu, the higher-ups are investigating intensely right now, ti is limited, please hurry," the officer who escorted Yu Xiuzhun in adjusted his cap and respectfully excused himself from the room.
Soon, the figure of Yu Yueman appeared at the entrance to the reception room.
She didn’t look like it was her first ti being in such a place; her eyes were red from crying, yet not showing any fear.
Pushed by the officers behind her, she glared fiercely back at them.
