Discovering such a truth, Cen Ya burst into tears. Her eyes filled with tears, she said, "Mom, Brother, I know I was wrong... I'll go back to K Country with you, but can you give me some time? I'll definitely forget him..."
"No need," Cen Xiucheng calmly interrupted her.
"Brother?" Cen Ya looked at him in astonishment.
"You don't have to come back to K Country with us. From now on, you are no longer my sister," Cen Xiucheng said indifferently.
Cen Ya's face turned ashen. She quickly asked, "Brother, are you angry with me? But I was deceived too..."
Cen Xiucheng's expression was indifferent. "Cen Ya, if you were just deceived in your feelings by a scumbag, I wouldn't blame you. But, have you and Ou Minghan reached this point truly because his deceptions were so exquisite, or his sweet talk so captivating?"
Cen Ya's eyes immediately turned red. She said aggrievedly, "I know I was foolish, I was too easily deceived..."
Cen Xiucheng sighed with disappointment. He gave a bitter smile, "Cen Ya, you still don't understand what the real problem is! Let me ask you, how has the Ye family treated you?"
Cen Ya's face immediately turned pale.
Seeing the Ye family being mentioned, Ye Zhi immediately sat up with interest.
"Cen Ya, let me ask you again, our Cen family paid a 'buyout fee' for your upbringing to the Ye family. The Ye family provided a detailed list at the time, but why did we only receive the total amount, with no itemized list?" Cen Xiucheng's expression darkened.
Ye Zhi was very surprised. There was actually such a thing involved!
She wondered why the Cen family, despite readily paying the money, always showed a hint of regret, as if they thought the Ye family had taken advantage of the situation and demanded an exorbitant price. It turned out they had never seen the list.
"Brother, no, it's not like that..." Cen Ya quickly explained, "I never intended to hide that list. Shuang Shuang said it was enough to just give a number. With such a long list, you definitely wouldn't want to look at it..."
"So," Ni Na looked at Cen Ya in shock, "Little Ya, there really was that list?!"
Cen Ya's face turned even paler.
"It's not that we don't want to see it, but rather that you don't want us to see it. You know best," Cen Xiucheng took out a list and handed it to Ni Na. "Mom, this is that list."
Ni Na opened the list and looked at it carefully, her expression filled with shock.
The list was very detailed. But as parents themselves, she could naturally see how much effort the Ye family had put into raising Cen Ya.
"Mr. Ye went abroad to study more than ten years ago. All the Ye family could provide to Mr. Ye was financial support. Therefore, they poured all their longing and love for their eldest daughter onto their second daughter. Their favoritism towards their second daughter even surpassed that towards their only biological son," Cen Xiucheng sighed. "Mom, the Ye family has never wronged Cen Ya."
Ni Na was extremely shocked, "Then the injuries on her body..."
"Ou Minghan did that, it has nothing to do with the Ye family," Cen Xiucheng said.
Ni Na immediately looked at Cen Ya with disappointment. "Little Ya, when we asked you about the injuries on your body, why did you never say anything, allowing us to misunderstand and believe that the Ye family had abused you?! The Ye family never wronged you, why did you frame them?!"
Ye Zhi: ...
She seemed to understand Cen Ya's logic. Cen Ya didn't necessarily intend to frame the Ye family; she just didn't want to tell the Cen family that the person who hit her was the man she loved most. As for the Ye family being misunderstood as a result... she certainly wouldn't explain.
"But, but they never cared about me either... They kicked me out of the house and completely disregarded my life..." Cen Ya argued aggrievedly.
"And why did they kick you out of the house?" Cen Xiucheng pressed.
Cen Ya instantly fell silent. She looked at Cen Xiucheng, then at Ye Zhi, and suddenly understood why Cen Xiucheng had invited Ye Zhi to be present.
"It was because, at Ou Minghan's instigation, you went to steal the Ye Corporation's official seal. When you were caught, you remained unrepentant, and that's why the Ye family severed ties with you," Cen Xiucheng looked at Ye Zhi. "Miss Ye, is that how it happened?"
"Yes," Ye Zhi nodded.
Although this was a family shame, the Ye family had not concealed their decision to break ties with Cen Ya at the time, so many relatives and friends knew the inside story.
Cen Xiucheng turned to look at Cen Ya, and said coldly, "You went to Ou Minghan yourself and proactively offered to exchange hearts with Ou Tiantian as a condition, forcing him to marry you. After marriage, your life was filled with constant quarrels. He didn't love you; he only stayed with you for your heart..."
"Don't, don't say any more!" Cen Ya covered her ears and shook her head in pain.
Cen Xiucheng sighed and looked at Ni Na. "Mom, I don't mind having a sister who was deceived by a scumbag. Love can make people lose their heads and their reason. If my sister was just deceived by a scumbag, I would only pity her and protect her.
However, I dare not have a sister who only has love in her life and is willing to sacrifice everything for love. Because she sacrifices not only her own everything, but also the everything of others. Family and friends, she can make them sacrifice for love.
If the Ye family disagreed with her being with Ou Minghan, she felt that the Ye family didn't love her and owed her. Then what about our Cen family?
The root of the problem is not Ou Minghan, but Cen Ya's view of love. Even if it wasn't Ou Minghan, but tomorrow Ou Lengnuan appeared, as long as she fell in love, she would still do the same things for love.
Having a sister like this scares me, so this time, I don't plan to take Cen Ya back. If you are willing to stay for her, then I respect your choice. Of course, this is also Dad's wish."
Cen Ya was extremely shocked. She thought Cen Xiucheng was just angry, but he was serious?
Even if Ni Na stayed for her, Cen Xiucheng would abandon their own mother?
"Mom..." Cen Ya looked nervously at Ni Na.
"Little Ya," Ni Na looked at her faintly, "Do you know? I've always felt guilty. I was supposed to give birth back then, but because I was angry with your father, I impulsively left K Country and came here. But I didn't expect that your father's enemies followed us. They took you away when I was giving birth, and then you were lost, and we couldn't find you no matter how hard we tried.
Later, we reunited, and you were covered in injuries and in very poor spirits. I felt very guilty, so I've always wanted to compensate you. Whatever you wanted, I gave it to you. Whatever you said, I listened, just wanting to make up for the suffering you've endured all these years..."
"Mom..." Cen Ya's heart felt a bad premonition. She quickly held Ni Na's hand. "Mom, I know I was wrong, I will definitely change in the future..."
