Rebirth in the 90s: Pack up and prepare for demolition

Chapter 226 Every Word is a Blessing

Ye Wenlin's good and bad qualities kept intertwining in her mind. Thinking of her mother, Ye Canyang stood firmly in front of everyone, blocking Ye Wenlin's inquiring gaze.

When Ye Wenlin heard Ye Canyang's calm tone, the corners of his mouth twitched stiffly, and then he scratched his head awkwardly, "So you knew it a long time ago?"

But I never thought of looking for him.

Ye Wenlin was filled with disappointment and regret. It was not until now that he was absolutely certain that he had really lost Zheng Jiayi and her son.

Before he found them, he could still deceive himself, thinking that as long as he repented, Zheng Jiayi would accept him and his son would forgive him...

Now it seems that everything was just his fantasy.

Ye Wenlin lowered his head dejectedly, still unwilling to give in and defended himself: "I don't gamble anymore. I'm working on a construction site now, and I've saved some money..."

Ye Wenlin tried to show them that he had changed for the better in recent times.

Zheng Jiayi was listening behind Ye Canyang, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes.

Ye Wenlin is Ye Canyang's biological father, and this is a fact that cannot be changed in any way.

Even though Zheng Jiayi was extremely disappointed with Ye Wenlin before, she still hoped that Ye Wenlin could change his bad habits and start a new life.

She could completely separate from Ye Wenlin, but her son could not.

Only if Ye Wenlin lives a good life will his son not bear this hidden danger and burden.

So when Zheng Jiayi heard Ye Wenlin's words, she was naturally happy.

She walked out from behind Ye Canyang. Ye Wenhui couldn't see her expression and thought she was moved by Ye Wenlin's words. She hurriedly grabbed her, trying to make her sober up.

No, how can you believe what a man says?

Besides, Zheng Jiayi now has money and free time, and her son has become a successful person. Isn't it good for her to live a leisurely life? Why should she serve a man?

Ye Wenhui didn't understand.

Zheng Jiayi patted Ye Wenhui's hand comfortingly, and then said to Ye Wenlin: "Wenlin..."

The word "Wenlin" almost made Ye Wenlin burst into tears. It had been a long time since anyone had called him so affectionately.

Back in Yejia Village, ever since he became addicted to gambling, the elders always looked at him with disappointment, and then scolded him in a serious tone, calling him "Ye Wenlin" one by one.

Some people discussed him with disdain. "That Ye Wenlin" and "that gambler" have become his nicknames, and some even used him as a negative example to educate their own family members.

Ye Wenlin was not unaware of this.

People are unable to empathize and understand others, even their former selves.

Ye Wenlin couldn't understand how he could have been so absurd before. Even when he was deserted by everyone, he refused to repent.

"Now that you've gotten over that bad habit, live a good life from now on. Big cities are full of opportunities. As long as you work hard, your future will be good."

Every word is a blessing, but every word is a boundary.

Ye Wenlin was not stupid, so he naturally heard it. He looked at Zheng Jiayi's eyes without any attachment and understood what she meant.

Ye Wenlin sighed, "Okay."

"Then...can I come to find you in the future?" Ye Wenlin asked cautiously.

His original purpose of coming to Hai City was to find them, mother and son. Now that he had found them, he naturally didn't want to cut off contact.

Zheng Jiayi shook her head decisively. What a joke.

She just saw that Ye Wenlin was indeed getting better, so she said a few more words. It didn't mean she was letting down their original love, right?

After all, Ye Wenlin was really good to her in the beginning, giving in to her in everything, and they even rarely quarreled.

But Ye Wenlin has a criminal record after all. Who knows how long Ye Wenlin can hold on?

Zheng Jiayi doesn't want to take the risk.

Ye Wenlin returned to his normal self and became his original character. Seeing Zheng Jiayi shaking her head firmly, he did not make things difficult for her. After the two sides talked for a while, they parted ways amicably.

Ye Wenlin looked at their backs as they left and slapped himself hard. He really brought this upon himself.

His original purpose of coming to Hai City was indeed not pure.

At first, I just wanted to ask Zheng Jiayi for money.

Although Haishi is not very big, it is extremely difficult to find someone in such a vast sea of ​​people, especially someone like him who has no skills, no connections, and even no money.

When he was in Ancheng before, no matter how poor he was, he was always taken care of by the people of Yejia Village. Although everyone cursed him harshly, they couldn't bear to see him starve to death.

Ye Wenlin was so unscrupulous because he took advantage of everyone's reluctance.

Haishi is different. He has no relatives or friends here. It is full of strangers. Maybe some kind-hearted people will lend a helping hand when they see his miserable situation, but more strangers look down on him.

I despise him, a normal middle-aged man with hands and feet, who actually hopes to eat free food in a city full of opportunities.

After all, Hai City is bustling with demolitions and high-rise construction, and every construction site is short of workers. Even if you can't do a skilled job, you can always be a regular bricklayer, right? No matter how you get by, you'll still have a job, right?

Ye Wenlin, who had just arrived in Hai City, did not change his mind even though he was treated coldly by everyone. He still wanted to stay in Hai City.

He kept thinking, if he could just hold on for a while, once he found Zheng Jiayi and her son, he'd have plenty of money to spend. He was all alone in this city, but so was Zheng Jiayi. He believed that once he found her, without any friends or family to help her, she would be at his mercy. Wouldn't money and everything else be easy to come by?

But the life of wandering with hunger was really hard, so Ye Wenlin finally called the village chief. He felt that the village chief would not sit idly by and watch him die.

But he got an unexpected news from the village chief.

The last gambling game he participated in before leaving Ancheng almost resulted in the deaths of two people, and all those involved were sentenced.

Ye Wenlin couldn't help but recall the time when he won the money and said he was leaving, and that Sun Wu's sinister look...

Ye Wenlin shuddered, and only then did he feel the fear. His head was hot, and now it felt like someone had poured a bucket of cold water on him.

Cool to the core.

Ye Wenlin didn't know how he reacted after hearing what the village chief said. By the time he realized what was going on, he had already hung up the phone.

His hands and feet were cold and trembling.

He originally wanted to ask the village chief for money, but not only did he not say it out loud, he even forgot about it.

A sentence kept repeating in my chaotic mind: I can’t gamble anymore.

Now, for him, gambling is synonymous with death and imprisonment.

The price was too high, exceeding the pleasure he got from gambling.
