4414 The Other Side 383

"Why the sudden wish to see Father?" Gong Jie was pleasantly surprised. He gripped her shoulders in disbelief. "Have you decided to forgive Father?"

Instead of answering, Yun Shishi gave him a long look. "The relationship between him and me is very complicated. However, I've vowed to myself that if Youyou should come out of it all safe and sound, I'll choose to let things go and not bear any grudges. Now that it has come to pass, perhaps it's heaven's will that I forgive him."

"You…" Gong Jie felt gratified. "Don't you hate him anymore?"

"I do. It's impossible not to." Yun Shishi sighed and turned to look out at the boundless sea. "In the past, I was overly hostile, I have to admit. At that time, I blamed him for all my misfortunes."

But she knew very well. All the good and bad events in her life were that man's doing. She was orphaned because of him. However, it was also thanks to him that she crossed paths with the Mu family.

Everything that happened after that, even becoming involved with Mu Yazhe, were all because of him.

However, while she hated him for all that misfortunes, she hadn't been grateful to him for the good things that had happened. She wanted to punish him with such unfairness, but in fact, they were the ones who suffered in the end.

There was no winner between the two of them. She decided to let go of all grudges. If nothing else, for her family's sake. Hostility was not good for her body and heart.

Mu Yazhe was aware of her decision. She had already spoken to him in advance and asked for his opinion. What objections could he have? After all, Gong Shaoying was her biological father.

Blood is thicker than water. There are some ties in life that can never be severed.

He had certain opinions about his father-in-law, nevertheless. His own son had been disadvantaged by his grandfather, and badly too. As a son-in-law, there was a limit to his tolerance, no matter what.

However, when Yun Shishi indicated that she had decided to forgive the man and asked for his opinion, he said, "This is a feud between you and your father, it's not for me to get involved. However, I'll be supportive of whatever decision you make."

Hence, he left Hurricane Island ahead of time and returned home so that the father and daughter had the space to settle this matter.

Gong Jie said, "If you really wish to meet him, I can arrange for it immediately."

"There's no need to make arrangements. Where is he? I'll go see him."

Surprised by her initiative, Gong Jie nodded. He made a call. "Jed, where's Father?"

Hurricane Island was huge. There were cameras installed all over. Jed was the designer in-charge of security. He was able to locate the movement of anyone immediately.

"His lordship is in the castle." He reported Gong Shaoying's location, and asked no further questions.

Gong Jie took Yun Shishi to the castle. Upon arriving, he took her to the living room then went to the study on the third floor to look for Gong Shaoying.

In the study, Gong Shaoying was in a daze, staring at a photograph on the desk. It was a family photo of Yun Shishi, Mu Yazhe and their family. Gong Jie and Hua Jin were in the picture, but he was not. This family photo was one brought back by Gong Jie. He had made an extra copy for Gong Shaoying.
