Ten Billion Ranch: Breaking Up at the Beginning

The words in Ye Tao's mouth were so straightforward that they almost slapped Xiao He in the face.

Xiao He in front of him also instantly became relaxed because of his straightforwardness.

After flashing his eyes for a moment, he opened his mouth and said in a crisp tone:

"I'll exchange my secret for yours, Mr. Ye. I don't know if that's enough?"

Xiao He has a lot of trump cards in his hands, and he is completely free to exchange other people's trump cards for this secret.

But he didn't do that.

Because Xiao He is a person with a moral bottom line, he can't do the kind of thing that uses others to protect himself.

A slight shock flashed in Ye Tao's eyes.

But he knew very well that this answer was sincere enough.

Then a relaxed smile appeared on his face, and he nodded in a quick agreement.

"Okay, since Mr. Xiao has already talked to this point, then I have nothing to say."

"Actually, my cooperation with Nangong Chuyue was not voluntary."

As soon as Ye Tao said these words, Xiao He was instantly shocked.

Xiao He had doubts about Ye Tao and Nangong Chuyue before.

But never before, have I been so deeply questioned as I am now.

But what Ye Tao said now did slightly subvert Xiao He's three views.

After his eyes flickered for a moment, Xiao He asked in a probing tone:
"Is that what she forced you to cooperate with?"

"Yes and no."

Ye Tao had an unfathomable smile on his face.

With just this expression, Xiao He knew that relying on his own guessing, he would definitely not be able to figure out this matter.

Xiao He is not a person who likes to make things difficult for himself.

This put all the initiative in Ye Tao's hands.

Then he opened his mouth and said in a relaxed tone:
"Appreciate further details."

Ye Tao didn't answer Xiao He's question immediately, but picked up the teacup in front of him and took a big sip.

Then he took a deep breath and said:
"The bond between me and Nangong Chuyue actually happened 40 years ago."

40 years ago...

There was a hint of surprise in Xiao He's eyes.

Because 40 years ago, that was a long time ago.

At that time, Ye Tao was probably not as old as himself, right?

Had he been in contact with Nangong Chuyue so early?
wrong!

Soon Xiao He realized the criticality of the problem.

That is, if Ye Tao had contact with Nangong Chuyue 40 years ago, the current Nangong Chuyue would definitely not be in her early 20s!

There was a flash of great shock in his eyes.

Xiao He looked at Ye Tao in front of him with a surprised expression.

Ye Tao didn't show much reaction on his face, instead he continued to tell the story slowly.

"I was just married 40 years ago, and my wife had a difficult childbirth. A young girl came to me. She said that she could help my wife get through the childbirth smoothly, but I needed to promise her one condition."

"That's when my granddaughter is born 20 years from now, and she's going to replace my granddaughter."

"The girl I saw at the time was dressed in rags and had pockmarks on her face. She looked very down and out. I should not have believed her, but out of concern for my wife and daughter, I agreed to her by accident."

"It turned out that the two of them really got better, and the girl disappeared since then."

Ye Tao's expression was ecstatic, as if he had been pulled back to the time more than 40 years ago.

Xiao He also tacitly did not speak, but listened carefully to what Grandpa Ye said.

Since then, Ye Tao has never seen the girl who saved his wife and daughter again.

As time went by, he also gradually forgot about it, only thinking that his wife and daughter should die.

It's just that everything in this world is always fair, and there is no such thing as taking advantage of others for no reason without paying a price.

Twenty years later, after Ye Tao's daughter grew up and married her husband.

She encountered the same thing as her own mother back then.

Dystocia.

At that time, Ye Tao was already a well-known doctor of Chinese medicine, but even if he used all the connections in his hands to save the lives of his daughter and granddaughter, it was still very difficult.

When Ye Tao was desperate, the girl who helped his wife and daughter reappeared.

A full 20 years have passed, but the years have not left any traces on her face.

She was still as downcast and ugly as before, but Ye Tao couldn't refuse what she said.

The girl asked him if he still remembered the promise he made back then.

Ye Tao's thoughts were pulled back 20 years ago in an instant.

He remembered the promise he had made to the girl, but he didn't feel any fear in his heart. He even took the initiative to grab the girl's sleeve and begged her to save his daughter and unborn granddaughter.

"She just stood there, indifferent like an emotionless machine. But the words that came out of her mouth made it impossible for me to refuse..."

"She said she could help me save my daughter's life, but I must fulfill the promise made back then!"

"At that time, I was really eager to love my daughter. I couldn't imagine what would happen if I lost my only daughter. Wasn't it just an unborn child? At worst, I would just have another one, so I agreed to her..."

When mentioning the past, Ye Tao regretted the past, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Xiao He also felt extremely curious about what happened next.

So I couldn't help asking:

"What happened later? What happened later?"

Ye Tao pressed his lips tightly, his whole body trembling.

After a long time, he finally controlled his emotions.

Then he opened his mouth and said with difficulty in Xiao He's direction:

"She did save my daughter and then disappeared, and my granddaughter also survived. But as my granddaughter grew up, I found that she was completely different from a normal child."

The look in Ye Tao's eyes was almost frightened.

If you hadn't experienced it yourself, you would never be able to express such emotions.

Xiao He also wisely didn't bother the other party, so he silently waited for Ye Tao to speak.

Finally, Ye Tao in front of him adjusted his emotions.

After taking a deep breath, he opened his mouth and said in Xiao He's direction:

"My granddaughter grew up very fast, far exceeding the scope of normal children. In less than three years, she grew from a child to an adult girl, and she looked the same as when I saw her at the beginning. The same girl as before."

"I was getting more and more scared and wanted to get rid of this child, but my daughter was reluctant, so I had to buy someone behind her back to get rid of this child secretly."

"but……"

Ye Tao paused, even if he didn't say what happened next, Xiao He would understand.

Then he took the initiative to take his words and said:

"But you find that no matter how hard you try, there is no way to deal with this child. She can survive accident after accident."
