Yun Yecheng spoke with a heavy voice, "Things may be in the past, but I'm unable to forgive or forget!"
He drew a handkerchief from his chest pocket and revealed a bank card neatly wrapped within. Looking at her, he said, "There's about 5,000,000 yuan inside."
"Five million…"
"Mm," he affirmed, continuing, "It's the additional remuneration the employer promised you in the past."
This was from the five-million check Mu Yazhe's assistant had given him. He used none of it and deposited everything into this bank card.
Thereafter, he also deposited his salary from work into this bank card regularly. Although it was nothing much, it was a token of his regard.
He saved this money to prepare for Yun Shishi's dowry when she married off in the future.
He was already getting on in age. He was not very capable and not as enthusiastic as his younger self. He received a monthly salary of about 3,000 yuan. Excluding daily expenses, he scrimped and lived off his salary. He had not touched a penny in the card in these past few years.
He had always kept this card securely stored away. Li Qin was unaware of the presence of this huge amount of money; this was to prevent her from coveting it.
Even Yun Shishi assumed that all the money had been used to pay off the debts back then.
Earlier on, when Yun Na got into a mishap, he visited his adopted daughter to get a chance to discuss this with her.
He figured that, since his daughter was in trouble, he had no choice but to talk to Yun Shishi. He thought that she would definitely agree to withdrawing a few 10,000 yuan from the bank account for this urgent matter. After all, she was good-natured and considerate.
Who knew that he would be enlightened of the truth six years ago?
His world turned into a complete chaos, and at that moment, he was unable to accept the truth.
Now, determined to divorce Li Qin, he thought that this card should be returned to its rightful owner.
"Although house prices in the capital are running high with each passing day, the balance in this card is enough to buy a decent apartment. I may have divorced that woman, but our father-daughter relationship is still intact. In the future, when you're free, come join me for a meal with Youyou. That is enough for me!"
"Dad… this money…"
He stated, "This is yours. I couldn't tell you earlier for fear of that woman catching wind of it! I'm saving it for you, and now I'm giving it to its original owner. You're surely in dire financial straits with Youyou around, and because he's currently confined in the hospital, a lot of money definitely needs to be spent! This should be enough for the emergency!"
"Thanks, dad…" She received the bank card from him and grinned. "Dad, now that you're divorcing her, and since you also said that our relationship is still intact, move in with us! I'll take care of you and Youyou."
He hesitated but eventually rejected. "This isn't a very good idea. Don't you know that woman's character? She's greedy for riches and used to being wasteful. If I were to stay with you, she would surely run over to make a scene, and I'm afraid that you and Youyou can't live life peacefully then. Now that you are doing well, you can't let her implicate you again!"
He spoke these earnest words as he truly had this mother-son pair's best interests at heart.
After all, based on Li Qin's character, she would not take things lying down.
One could infer that he was already extremely tired of this failed marriage with him labeling Li Qin as 'that woman'.
He had done everything he could to pay off all of Yun Na's hospital bills. He had also done his best for this daughter of his, advising her in every way possible. At present, she was succumbing to such plight, and although distressed, he could only let her go.
