Shen Qianshu was reminded of the castle in Paris.
Butler Luther was so caring and nice, she thought to herself. So Luther was the one who saved them! It is no wonder that he treated them so nicely.
“Is Butler Luther… one of Ye Ling’s mother’s people?”
“Luther and Madam grew up together, and Madam favored him. When Madam was saved, she was at risk of a miscarriage. In the end, Master was born in the midst of the escapade. At that time, the Old Master kept sending people to come after them. The conditions along the way were very bad. They were accidentally captured by the Ye Family, and Madam had dystocia. Master was born because someone had cut open Madam’s stomach to grab him out. When Butler Luther went back to find Madam, Madam seemed to have had her blood drained. However, she was tough. and she did not die. Luther sent her to a hospital nearby for treatment, and she miraculously survived. However, her mental state never improved from then on.
“After Master was sent to the Ye Family, Butler Luther intended to send Madam back to Johannesburg to recuperate. He also wished for her to calm down and return to a stable state. However, her illness only worsened. Butler Luther thought that bringing Master to Madam would help her heal, so he took him out of the Ye Residence secretly and brought him to her. However, Madam’s illness did not change for the better, so Master grew up for three years under the abuse of his mother. Back then, the European Ye Family faced a huge problem, so they changed their target onto Master and Madam. Luther brought the two of them around to hide, but in the end, they were still found. No matter how hard Butler Luther tried, he could only bring Madam along with him. Master then returned back to the Ye Family and lived as the eldest grandson by status. To ensure that he stayed alive, Butler Luther announced to everyone that Madam had died. In Madam’s will, it was clearly stated that if there was no one to inherit it, all of them would go to the country. Luther could only use this as his last straw to save Master’s life and ensure that the Ye Family would not harm Master.
“He brought Madam to a deserted island to recuperate until her mental condition changed for the better. Then, they returned to Johannesburg. Madam wanted to meet Master, so she went to City A behind Luther’s back. Since Master was young, he knew that Old Master and his wife were not his biological parents. When Madam went to look for him, he was really elated. But Master looked too much like Master Ye, and that triggered Madam. Her illness that had actually changed for the better came back, and she had a relapse. There is also a story in between all of these, but Master never shared that with us, so we don’t know any details. We only know that Master was taken away by Madam. After that, Madam and Old Master’s corpse were found in an old hut. When the Ye Family went over, the place was burnt down with only an injured Master left behind!”
Zhong Ran’s tone was pretty serious. “That was also when Master’s illness began. I heard some of these from Luther. Luther really hates the Ye Family. Some things may be exaggerated, and some of them could be guesses, but they should not be far off. When I began working for Master, he was only eight. He never mentioned anything about his parents, and no one dared to ask him about what had happened back then. Two years later, Master Ye’s wife died too!”
Shen Qianshu dropped her jaw and felt her heart palpitating. Ye Ling’s childhood was really tragic! Comparing his to the lovable Tong Hua’s, one is heaven, and one is hell.
“Did Ye Yifan’s parents die from natural causes?”
“No!” Zhong Ran shook his head and took a deep breath. He stayed silent.
Tong Hua squinted. “Daddy killed them?”
“No way!” Zhong Ran said without hesitation. “When they died, Master had already been brought to Paris by Luther. He was living a normal life. How could their deaths be associated with Master? When they died, I was just around Master. Then, he only smiled. Do you know how terrified I was? It was the first time that I had seen him smile, and it was the smile of a murderer. He said someone had killed them in place of him, so there’s no way it could be Master.”
