A second chance with my billionaire husband

Chapter 2129: Chapter 515: Truly Inspiring, Fearless

Many times, Yun Ya was more like a mentor in his life, pointing him in the right direction and guiding him.

Yun Ya sorted the herbs and placed them aside, looking into Yan Ke’s eyes, earnestly saying, "Actually, you want to go, but you’re afraid of an unfamiliar place. You’ve grown up, and it’s time to venture out. This is a necessary path in your growth."

Yan Ke had been overprotected by his family since childhood. Although intelligent, he had a vague resistance and repulsion to the unknown world. He wanted to pursue higher musical achievements, but feared unfamiliar environments. This was a common psychological phenomenon in children overly shielded by their families.

Yan Ke was startled for a moment, and Zhuang Jingmo smiled and said, "I remember Yun Ya went abroad at the age of five, right? Look at Yun Ya and then look at yourself, that’s the difference. I think you should learn from Yun Ya, don’t end up abroad crying every day."

Yun Ya went abroad at five, endured thirteen years in a foreign land, not without fear and loneliness, but so what if she was scared? Without a family as her support, she also had to take care of Miaomiao while managing her studies. Every step was extremely difficult yet solid.

Thankfully, she made it through.

Yun Ya looked at the sun that wasn’t dazzling and smiled, saying, "When I first went abroad, I couldn’t sleep all night, hearing languages I didn’t understand. Those high-nosed, blue-eyed, blonde people seemed as ugly and terrifying as devils to me. Every day felt like a year, going to school during the day with no classmates playing with me, being mocked as an ugly monster from the East. See, the aesthetics between the East and West are so distinct. I found them ugly, and they saw me even uglier. I was like a little white sheep wandering into a pack of wolves, subject to their laughter, humiliation, and trampling, but so what...."

Yun Ya smiled gently, her smile revealing a calm and glorious demeanor, mesmerizing Zhuang Jingmo and Yan Ke as they watched her.

The two thought of Yun Ya’s background, feeling inevitable pity for her. A five-year-old girl in a strange foreign land, without family protection and companionship, facing unfamiliar foreigners, one could imagine the treatment she received.

"I don’t care about those mocking eyes. In school, I listened attentively to lessons, completed assignments on time, and went home in the evening to prepare for upcoming studies. Day after day, in just three years, I finished all courses from elementary to junior high school and entered Country M Western High School as the top scorer in Quanzhou. Once my name topped the achievement list, even the principal treated me with politeness, let alone those snobbish classmates. They would only actively accept you, and whether you wanted to befriend them was entirely up to your mood."

Zhuang Jingmo swallowed hard and gave Yun Ya a thumbs up, "A genius among geniuses, truly inspiring."

"I’m saying these things not for you to worship me. When you’re powerless to change your surroundings, strive to change yourself. When you become strong, you’ll naturally be fearless."

The girl spoke calmly, but beneath the calmness lay a deep sea of quiet currents, emanating light, serenity, composure, and leaving one’s heart racing.

Yan Ke looked at her deeply and slowly began to smile, "Sister Yun Ya, I understand now."

A few simple sentences, yet they gave him immense strength. No matter when or where, whenever he hesitated, remembering Sister Yun Ya’s words would make him naturally fearless.

"There’s a classmate of mine at this school. I’ll contact him later; he can be of help at crucial moments."

Zhuang Jingmo sighed, "Yun Ya, Yun Ya, are you really just eighteen years old? How come you seem more perceptive than me, a twenty-something aunt."

"Cousin, I’m nineteen. After the new year, I’ll be twenty."

"Alright, alright, twenty it is. I know you’re eager to turn twenty because then you can marry cousin. Am I right?"

Yun Ya pressed her lips into a smile in response to Zhuang Jingmo’s teasing, neither confirming nor denying.

Zhuang Jingmo felt quite bored; how was this kid’s skin so thick, unfazed by teasing?

"I heard from Auntie that an old classmate introduced a suitable young man to her for cousin. How does cousin feel about meeting him?"

Yun Ya smiled at Zhuang Jingmo, her clear eyes gleaming with mischievous light.

Zhuang Jingmo’s expression changed instantly, and she said through clenched teeth, "Really?"
