Chapter 261 His most beloved nephew falls in love with the mother of his child!
After finishing their meal, everyone left the restaurant. There were many children's toys at the entrance, and Niu Niu clamored to play with them. Yi Fei said to He Yi, "Uncle, why don't you go back first? I'll play with Niu Niu for a while."
He Yi shook his head. "It's nothing."
Just now, because Niu Niu was there, it wasn't appropriate for everyone to talk about other topics. Actually, Yi Fei could tell that his uncle had something to say to him. If he wasn't mistaken, it should be related to Gu Zhi Yao.
Perhaps the astute younger brother-in-law had already figured something out.
Now that he had arranged for Zhiyao to meet with his uncle, he no longer intended to hide the matter.
He took Niu Niu out to play first, and they didn't finish until about 8:30.
The little girl had been playing all day and fell asleep as soon as she got in the car, leaning against the comfortable and spacious seat.
He Yi parked the car on the side of the road, stared at Yi Fei in the rearview mirror, and slowly asked, "Yi Fei, the girl you once told me you liked, is that Niu Niu's mother?"
Yifei thought to himself, "What was bound to happen has finally happened."
He then admitted, roughly recounting his relationship with Gu Zhiyao, and said bitterly, "Back then, she fell in love with a man who didn't love her. I thought I had a chance, but then she went abroad and had a child with another man. I've met Niu Niu's father; he's a very good man. His love and care for Zhiyao are evident in his eyes. I knew then that I had absolutely no chance. But I still can't control myself, Uncle. What should I do? On one hand, I hope she and Niu Niu's father can be loving and happy together, growing old together. But on the other hand, I also hope their relationship breaks down so I can confess to her. This time, I definitely won't miss it. But this is wrong. How did I become such a selfish and despicable person?"
Seeing his nephew's pained and conflicted expression, He Yi was deeply moved.
He really didn't expect this to happen.
His most beloved nephew actually fell in love with the mother of his child?
He couldn't help but recall the past. There were several opportunities for him to find out who the woman Yifei was infatuated with was, but he missed them all!
Perhaps he never imagined that Yifei would love someone to this extent, love them for so long, and still be unable to let go, and find it very difficult to let go.
He Yi felt that he should tell Yi Fei the whole truth, so that Yi Fei might completely sever his ties with him.
But he also worried that things might not go as he expected.
What if Yifei still can't let go?
Then, his relationship with Yifei must have changed. When Yifei first met Gu Zhiyao, he was very angry and hated the "man" that Gu Zhiyao was infatuated with. If Yifei knew that he was the bastard he was talking about, what would Yifei think?
Therefore, it's impossible to say, at least not right now.
With his mind at ease, He Yi said, "Yifei, as your uncle, I have some advice for you. From now on, you should give up any thoughts about Gu Zhiyao."
"Uncle?" Yifei was taken aback.
He Yi continued calmly, "Since you say that she and her husband have a good relationship and that her husband is an excellent man, it means that there is no way that there is a problem in her relationship with her husband. If you continue to be so persistent, you will not only delay and hurt yourself, but also cause her trouble. Does she know that you like her? Does she know that you have been waiting for her for so many years? If she knew, she would definitely feel bad, and might even feel guilty towards you."
"Yes, she's such a kind person, she must be feeling terrible. That's why I've been holding back. Maybe she's aware of it herself, but she doesn't know how long I've waited for her, how much I still cling to her. But Uncle, like I just told you, I can't let go. I've tried not to look for her, not to think about her, but fate has brought us together again. I think I might really be doomed because of her. Since I can't let go, then so be it. Anyway, I can't find another girl I feel something for. Many people in this world remain single their whole lives, so can I. I'll just silently protect her, and I'll be there for her whenever she faces hardship, helping her through it all..."
"No! Yifei, you can't think like that!" He Yi's deep voice suddenly rose, and his eyes became sharp. "This is an extremely irresponsible idea. You only care about yourself. Have you thought about your father and your mother? You are their only child. They will definitely want you to get married, have children, and continue the family line generation after generation."
Yifei was startled by his uncle's unusual excitement. He was stunned for a moment, but he didn't think much of it. His thoughts were still on his obsession with Gu Zhiyao. He was still unwilling to give up.
He Yi paused for a moment and continued, "Look at me and Yuanyuan, do you think I wanted to go through all that trouble back then? I also wondered why we had to have children. We could have chosen not to. But that was just my personal opinion. My grandmother was determined to have me continue the He family line. So even though I was in a lot of pain, I had to try all sorts of methods. In the end, I even did something very selfish that caused great harm to another person. Yifei, that's our helplessness. Do you understand?"
Yifei shook his head, his eyes welling up with tears.
Just then, the sound of a cell phone broke the silence of the carriage.
It was Gu Zhiyao who called Yifei to tell him that she had taken care of things and asked where he was so she could come pick up Niu Niu.
"Uh, you don't need to make a special trip. I'll come find you. Where are you now?" Yifei asked, gathering his thoughts.
“I’m on my way back to the hotel, I’ll be there in 10 minutes. Why don’t you just come to the hotel?” Gu Zhiyao thought that the shopping mall where she met Yifei in the evening wasn’t far from the hotel, so she suggested this.
Yifei agreed, "Okay, then wait for me at the hotel. I'll take Niu Niu there now."
Gu Zhiyao gave him her room number and then hung up the phone.
Tan Yifei looked at He Yi and said, "Uncle, I need to take Niu Niu to the hotel to find Zhi Yao now. If you're busy, you can go ahead. I'll take a taxi there."
A strange glint flashed in He Yi's eyes, and he said, "I'll take you there."
"You're giving us a ride? But you..."
"It's okay, we're off work now anyway. Quanxinyu will let me know if there's anything urgent at the company."
"Alright then, thank you for your trouble, Uncle."
He Yi remained silent and started the car.
Before long, we arrived outside the hotel.
"Uncle, you should go back first."
At this moment, Niu Niu also woke up, and Tan Yifei told her to say goodbye to He Yi.
Niu Niu pouted, clearly reluctant to leave, and unexpectedly said, "Uncle He Yi, why don't you come up to my mom's hotel for a visit?"
Tan Yifei was taken aback, but he was too embarrassed to object, so he could only stare blankly at He Yi, hoping that his uncle would refuse on his own.
