Hearing this, Pete was obviously taken aback, looking at Ye Anxin with so surprise.
Seeing Pete not speaking, Ye Anxin couldn’t help but say again, "You’ve been with Uncle for such a long ti, you should be more aware of his past than anyone else! I really want to know about Uncle and Ruan Zhitong’s past!"
Pete replied with a smile, "Madam, this is the president’s private matter, his personal life! I have said, I am clear about business matters, but when it cos to personal matters, I have no right to inquire!"
Ye Anxin asked in confusion, "You are with Uncle every day, even longer than Mr. Yan, how could you not know about Uncle and Ruan Zhitong’s past!"
Pete smiled, sowhat helplessly asking in return, "Madam, is the past between the president and Ruan Zhitong really that important? Just ask, who doesn’t have a past? Not to ntion others, even you and Mu Rufeng were together for a while! If everyone can’t let go of the past, then should the president also hold onto yours?"
Ye Anxin was speechless, unable to refute Pete’s words!
Seeing Ye Anxin silent, Pete continued, "Besides, madam also said, you asked the president personally on South City Island if Ruan Zhitong was soone he once loved deeply! The president’s answer was very certain, wasn’t it! He said no! Isn’t that enough? Why do you have to ask about the president’s past?"
Ye Anxin lowered her head, whispering, "I... I... I just lack confidence! Ruan Zhitong is so beautiful, so pure, like a fresh and elegant white lily! And I, whether it’s temperant, looks, family background, or education, I can’t compare to her in any way! I feel inferior, I’m afraid Uncle still has feelings for her, I’m scared!"
Pete asked back, "Madam, is love based on appearance, knowledge, and family background? If so, do people born into poverty have no right to happiness? Even when happiness cos, should they just give it away? If that’s the case, how did you have the courage to pull the president to get married back then?"
"...!" Ye Anxin was speechless again!
What could she say? Could she tell Pete that she pulled Uncle to get married in a fit of anger just to provoke Mu Rufeng and Xie Yunlu?
If she said that, Pete would surely be furious!
Seeing Ye Anxin silent, Pete continued, "Madam, I’ve always felt that love is love, and not loving is not loving, no matter how outstanding Ruan Zhitong is, if he didn’t love her then, he won’t love her in the future! So, madam needn’t worry! And definitely shouldn’t doubt the president’s feelings for you because of this!"
Ye Anxin lowered her head, carefully reflecting on Pete’s words. After a while, her mind cleared up, she raised her head, and smiling, said, "I understand! Thank you, Brother Pete, for telling this today! Otherwise, the knot in my heart would never have been untied!"
Pete smiled contentedly, continuing to advise, "It’s good you’ve co to understand! Actually, living with the president, you just need to wholeheartedly trust him! The president is not a talkative person, he likes to keep things to himself! Many things he won’t express with words, so inevitably in so matters, you may feel wronged! But please trust , I assure you, the president truly cares about you! Having followed the president for so many years, I’ve never seen him treat anyone better than you! Including the Mu Family, and his own father! So please, believe in him, and don’t question his feelings for you! Living together, the most important thing is mutual trust and reliance!"
Ye Anxin nodded, solemnly saying, "I understand! I will! I won’t doubt Uncle just because of what others say; I will trust him wholeheartedly!"
Pete smiled and said, "Good! With you saying that, I’m relieved! Let the past be past, you just need to live a good life in the future!"
"Yes! Thank you so much today, Brother Pete!" Ye Anxin sincerely thanked him!
She was glad she didn’t ask the wrong person! Otherwise, the misunderstandings between her and Uncle would never have been resolved!
She had intended to ask Yan Qinghan! But Yan Qinghan is sowhat of a big mouth and tends to gloat over others’ misfortunes, unlike Pete who is more straightforward and is almost always by Uncle’s side!
So, for many things, she believed Pete knew more than Yan Qinghan!
Luckily, she didn’t ask the wrong person!
Even though Pete didn’t directly answer her desired questions, she felt he was right!
No matter what happened between Uncle and Ruan Zhitong, it’s all in the past now, why should she dwell on it!
Not to ntion Uncle, even she and Mu Rufeng once had a past! If just because of that past one accuses her of still having feelings for Mu Rufeng, she’d feel wronged too!
Her own past isn’t spotless either, so why demand that from Uncle!
Thinking this through, Ye Anxin’s mind beca clear, and finally, the knot that had bound her for days was untied!
From now on, she just needed to live a solid life with Uncle, trusting him entirely!
No matter what others say, she would pretend not to hear!
Thinking of this, Ye Anxin closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened them again, they were filled with smiles and relief!
Seeing Ye Anxin’s expression, Pete said with a smile, "If madam has nothing more, I’ll sit down to work! There’s still a lot of company business to handle!"
Ye Anxin said apologetically, "Sorry for taking up your ti! It’s just that I don’t like to keep things bottled up, I like to find out! I was just worried there might be misunderstandings! You know Uncle’s character, getting anything out of him is harder than climbing the sky! So I thought of you! Luckily, I asked you, or my heart knot would not have been untied until now! In any case, thank you!"
Pete shrugged, indifferently saying, "No problem! Your character is great, laying everything out transparently, there’s no conflict that can’t be resolved! I also dislike those who hide things and constantly suspect others! That actually harms the feelings even more!"
Ye Anxin agreed, nodding, "Yes! Brother Pete understands ! Alright, I won’t disturb you, go ahead with your work!"
"Okay!" Pete responded, then sat down on the chair in the hospital room, taking the files he brought from the company off the bedside table, and ticulously started reading through them!
Ye Anxin remained silent, just sitting on the bed, her gaze fixed on Pete, but her thoughts unknowingly drifting far away!
She was thinking about everything that had happened during this period!
