Pinatay

Naisip ni Ye Wan Wan noon na hindi na niya matatandaan kung sino siya o kung sino ang pamilya niya hanggang sa mamatay siya.

The fragmented memory that showed up just now caught her by complete surprise though.

Biglaan ang paglitaw ng isang piraso ng memorya na ito sa kanyang isipan.

It appeared that as soon as she started doubting her identity and memories and intensely wanted to remember the past memories that genuinely belonged to her, there was hope for her to retrieve them…

Lumabas at umagos sa kanyang isipan ang mga tunay niyang memorya noon simula noong nagduda siya sa kanyang tunay na pagkatao, may pag-asa na siya para maibalik ang mga ala-ala niya...

Ye Wanwan was very happy to learn that there was still hope for her to retrieve her memories, but it was somewhat hard for her to accept that her parents had passed away already…

Natuwa si Ye Wan Wan nang matuklasan niya na may pagkakataon pa pala na maibalik niya ang kanyang mga memorya, ngunit hirap siyang tanggapin na ang mga tunay niyang magulang ay patay na pala...

Her biological parents were gone from this world already, and she didn't know whether her grandfather was still alive or his current location…

Wala na sa mundong ito ang tunay niyang mga magulang, at hindi siya sigurado kung ang lolo niya ay buhay pa ba at hindi niya alam kung saang ang eksaktong lokasyon nito...

Ye Wanwan forcefully suppressed her turbulent emotions and waited for the piercing pain in her head to alleviate before driving to the Ye residence again.

Pwersadong tinago ni Ye Wan Wan ang mga emosyon niya at hinintay niya munang mawala ang sakit ng kanyang ulo bago siya magpatuloy na magmaneho sa Ye residence.

After exiting the car, Ye Mufan happened to run into Ye Mufan, who had also returned.

Pagkalabas niya ng kotse, biglang nakasalubong ni Ye Wan Wan si Ye Mu Fan na kakabalik lang rin.

Ye Mufan placed his car keys in his pockets and swiftly walked over to Ye Wanwan.

Nilagay ni Ye Mu Fan sa bulsa niya ang susi ng kanyang kotse at mabilis siyang lumapit kay Ye Wan Wan.

"Wanwan, how are you?" Ye Mufan quietly asked as he looked at the slightly absent-minded Ye Wanwan.

"Wan Wan, kamusta ka?" Pabulong na tinanong ni Ye Mu Fan si Ye Wan Wan na mukhang malayo ang iniisip.

Ye Wanwan finally returned to the present and gathered her thoughts. She shook her head. "It's nothing… You also heard the news?"

Bumalik na sa katinuan ang utak ni Ye Wan Wan at inayos niya ang kanyang pag-iisip. Umiling siya. "Wala… nalaman mo na ang balita?"

"Yeah, Mom just told me. It's weird. Hasn't Ye Shao'an's health always been fine? Why did he die so suddenly…? Mom told me Ye Shao'an died on his own bed…" Ye Mufan had a strange expression.

"Oo, sinabi na sa akin ni mama. Ang weird. Hindi ba't maayos naman ang kalusugan ni Ye Shao An? Bakit bigla na lamang siya namatay…? Sinabi sa akin ni mama na namatay si Ye Shao An sa sarili niyang kama…" kakaiba ang itsura ni Ye Mu Fan.

Ye Wanwan was also quite perplexed about this despite much thought. She said, "Let's go inside and ask about the situation."

Nagulat din si Ye Wan Wan sa pangyayaring ito kahit na marami siyang iniisip. Bigla niyang sinabi, "Pumasok na tayo at tanungin na natin kung anong nangyari."

Ye Wanwan and Ye Mufan entered the Ye residence side by side.

Pumasok na sila Ye Wan Wan at Ye Mu Fan sa loob ng Ye residence.

As soon as Ye Wanwan entered the house, she heard crying.

Pagkapasok ni Ye Wan Wan, narinig niya kaagad ang may mga umiiyak.

In the living room, Second Aunt-in-law, Liang Meixuan, was sitting in a heap on the floor and looked like she was made out of tears. Ye Yiyi was also quietly sobbing intermittently and occasionally comforted Liang Meixuan.

Sa may sala, nakaupo sa lapag si Second Aunt-in-law at si Liang Mei Xuan habang siya ay luhaan. Humihikbi rin sa sobrang iyak si Ye Yiyi habang pinapakalma siya ni Liang Mei Xuan.

Ye Hongwei and Tan Yilan both looked a bit haggard with sorrow brimming in their eyes.

Mukhang pagod na pagod sila Ye Hong Wei at Tang Yi Lan at makikita ang kalungkutan sa kanilang mga mata.

"Wanwan, Mufan, you're back…" Tan Yilan sighed as she looked at them.

"Nandito na pala kayo, Wan Wan at Mu Fan…" nagbuntong hininga si Tan Yi Lan habang nakatingin ito sa kanila.

"Grandpa, Grandma… what happened? Second Uncle was perfectly fine. Why did he suddenly…" Ye Mufan asked, feigning grief.

"Lolo, Lola… anong nangyari? Okay naman si Second Uncle. Bakit bigla siyang..." Malungkot na nagtanong si Ye Mu Fan.

In regards to Ye Shao'an's death, Ye Mufan nearly couldn't refrain from congratulating Ye Yiyi and Liang Meixuan…

Hindi maiwasan ni Ye Mu Fan na i-congratulate sila Ye Yiyi at Liang Mei Xuan. Congratulate na may respeto sa pagkamatay ni Ye Shao An...

There hadn't been any familial relationship between them for a long time now. In fact, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them enemies.

Matagal nang hindi nagturingan na pamilya ang dalawang pamilya na ito. Sa totoo lang, tama lang na tawagin ang dalawang ito na magkaribal.

However, they had to follow the process and put on the proper facade on the surface.

Gayunpaman, kailangan nilang sundin ang proseso at hindi nila pwedeng ipakita ang kanilang mga problema.

"Ey…" Tan Yilan kept sighing, tears gushing out of her eyes uncontrollably. Although Ye Shao'an was a bit disappointing sometimes, he was still her son.

"Ey…" patuloy na nagbununtong hininga si Tan Yi Lan at hindi niya maiwasam na lumuha. Anak niya pa rin si Ye Shao An kahit na nakakadismaya itong tao.

"Mufan, your second uncle was murdered…" Ye Shaoting told Ye Mufan as he entered the room from the back.

"Mu Fan, pinatay ang second uncle mo…" sinabi ni Ye Shao Ting kay Ye Mu Fan nang pumasok siya sa kwarto sa likod.

"What… He was murdered?" Ye Mufan's face was instantly filled with disbelief when he heard that.

"Ano… pinatay siya?" Hindi makapaniwala si Ye Mu Fan nang marinig miya iyon.

Ye Shao'an was murdered on his own bed in the Ye residence…

Pinatay si Ye Shao An sa sarili niyang kama sa Ye residence...

How was that possible…

Paani nangyari iyon...

"We don't know if your second uncle offended someone. Maybe it was carried out by the company's competitor…" Ye Shaoting said.

"Hindi namin alam kung may nasaktan na ibang tao ba ang tito mo. Siguro ginawa ito ng kalaban ng kumpanya…" sabi ni Ye Shao An.

Although Ye Shao'an framed them and wreaked havoc on his family, he was still Ye Shaoting's younger brother, and they grew up together. It was unavoidable for him to grieve after learning that his brother, Ye Shao'an, was killed in his own home…

Kahit na pinagbintangan at ginulo ni Ye Shao An ang pamilya nila, siya pa rin ang nakababatang kapatid ni Ye Shao Ting. Magkasama silang lumaki. Kaya hindi niya maiwasang umiyak nang malaman niya na pinatay sa sarili niyang bahay ang kapatid niyang lalaki...
