Ye Jinyu shook her head, bitterly lamenting, "I was actually really foolish. The people around me were deceiving me, but I couldn't see through their lies, and I even considered them good people."
"They weren't flawlessly deceptive, nor was their acting impeccable. It was all because I was too dull. I regret it so much."
"If I had been more cautious and thoughtful, things wouldn't have developed to this extent, and you wouldn't have been taken away by Lin Yueqin."
Ye Chuyi patted her hand to comfort her, "It's alright, Mom. It's all in the past now. Don't blame yourself anymore. I think that us being able to recognize each other now isn't too late. You don't know how happy I was when I found out you were my mom!"
Ye Jinyu forced a smile at her, caressing her daughter's hand. Only now did she realize that Ye Chuyi's hands were very similar to hers, fair and delicate, and when her fingers were brought together and stretched out straight, all the fingertips were slightly upturned.
