Chapter: 2770

Charlie Wade helped the mother and daughter to their feet. He turned to He Yingxiu and said, “Ms. He, I came to Jinling to see Ruoli. Please keep this completely confidential. Don’t tell anyone, not even the He family.”

He Yingxiu understood that the best way to keep a secret is to not share it at all. Once someone knows, even a small detail can end up being shared with others. If Su Ruoli were her only child, He Yingxiu would have no worries about keeping it secret. But with other members of the He family, including her father, it was harder to be sure. For the sake of her daughter, she decided she would keep quiet.

“Don’t worry, Master Ye,” she said firmly. “I will keep this to myself and won’t say a word after I leave here!”

Su Ruoli, who had been listening, quickly asked, “Mom, when are you leaving?”

He Yingxiu thought for a moment and replied, “I told your grandfather that I would go to the Jiaodong Peninsula tomorrow to look for you, so I’ll be heading there then.”

Su Ruoli pouted, wrapping her arm around He Yingxiu like a little girl. “Mom… you haven’t seen me in so long. Can’t you stay with me for one more day?”

He Yingxiu sighed and said seriously, “Of course, I want to stay with you, even if it’s not just for one more day. I would stay with you forever if I could…”

But then she added, feeling helpless, “However, the entire He family knows that I’ve been searching for you. I promised your grandfather I would continue looking for you tomorrow, no matter what Ye Shaoye says. If I suddenly stay in Jinling and don’t go…”

“Leave. I’m worried your grandpa will get suspicious,” He Yingxiu said.

“I know your grandpa might hurt you, but the He family is too mixed up, and there are too many things we can’t control. Even though we’ve cut ties with the Su family, I still think they might be watching us. If they find out you’re alive, they could come after you again,” she continued.

Hearing this, Su Ruoli’s face turned cold. “Mom! Our family has worked hard for the Su family for so many years. But in the end, they don’t care about us at all. They even sold me to the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. I will make them pay for this in the future!”

He Yingxiu sighed, “To the Su family, we are just hired help. They see us like servants. They think if they pay us, we owe them everything. They don’t see us as family.”

She paused and added, “As for revenge, I think you should put that aside for now. The Su family is much stronger than the He family. You will be working with Master Ye from now on. Focus on that, and don’t worry about getting back at the Su family.”

Su Ruoli’s eyes filled with tears as she replied, “I won’t give up on revenge. If it takes a year, fine. If it takes three or five years, that’s okay too. Even if it takes ten or twenty years, I will make the Su family pay for what they’ve done!”

He Yingxiu looked at her with concern. “What you feel in your heart is important, but I hope you’ll consider my advice.”

“It’s important to keep your emotions in check. This is a crucial time for your growth. Don’t let hatred turn into your downfall!”

Su Ruoli nodded softly in agreement.
