Meng Xueyou even felt that she was the only one suitable for Ye Moxuan.
The Ye Family was a big family who had a huge business, so she used her identity back then to do some investigation. At the end, she found out about the bad relationship between the two siblings, Ye Moxuan and Ye Linhan. On top of that, she also knew of some secrets about the Ye Family that no one knew. So, she felt that she suited Ye Moxuan more.
That was why when Ye Moxuan saw through her cunning scheme, she hugged his hand and said, “Compared to Shen Qi, I’m more suited for you. Didn’t you go back to the Ye Family just to seize power? I can do that! If you choose to be with me, the whole Han Family and I will back you till the end. By that time, the Ye Family will be in your pocket. As for Ye Linhan, I can help you get rid of him.”
She felt that career and power was more important to a man. That was why, compared to Shen Qi, who had someone else’s child inside of her, she was certain that Ye Moxuan would definitely choose her without hesitation. However, she was wrong. After she said those words, Ye Moxuan actually sneered at her and pushed her away. She took a step back and fell to the icy floor while looking at him in disbelief. “You don’t want to? Why? Don’t you want to seize the Ye Family in your hand? Don’t you want revenge?”
Ye Moxuan glared at her as if she was a corpse as there was not any temperature or affection in his eyes. “Heh, are you overestimating yourself or underestimating me? I’m determined to seize the Ye Family, but I, Ye Moxuan, am not that low by using a woman to get what I want. Why do I need to rely on that little power of the Han Family? I wouldn’t even look at it.”
The arrogance! The undeniable arrogance! This was Han Xueyou’s thought back then, but Ye Moxuan was not interested in her help at all. Even though she knew clearly that he had rejected her, she still could not help but be crazily infatuated by that man. The man was stone cold, decisive and determined. Although she knew he had no interest in her at all, she still madly loved him, so she clung to him no matter how he treated her. However, before she did anything else, the truth about her identity as the lady of the Han Family was discovered. Soon after, she was hauled out of the Han Family. Then, she lost her status as the lady of the Han Family as she roamed around the streets.
Despite the discovery of her fake identity, Han Qing decided not to send her to the police station because of her previous friendship with Shen Qi, but she was forbidden to take away anything given to her before by the Han Family. After she had lost everything, she roamed around the streets without anywhere to go. In the end, she returned to the house of her gambling father. As expected, she received a beating after that. Even though she was beaten to a pulp, she did not have the money to treat herself in the hospital.
Afterward, Meng Xueyou refused to stay in that house much longer. Without any place to go to, the only choice she had was to work. Nevertheless, she was so used to being the lady of the Han Family that she realized she could not do most of the labor as it was either too dirty or tiring for her. Therefore, she continuously got fired or she left the job after half a day. In the very end, she did not even earn a cent of money and was dragged to the bar by her father’s creditors…
She could not bear to reflect on the past. As Meng Xueyou thought about her past memories, she felt like dying instead.
She believed that her fall from grace was all because of Shen Qi. She presumed that Shen Qi was jealous of her for taking Ye Moxuan away, so she took revenge by snatching her identity, which caused her to endure different kinds of hardships. Everytime she reminisced about it, it was all blood and tears. Now, seeing her losing Ye Moxuan, Meng Xueyou felt the pleasure stir inside her. This was what she deserved for the pain she caused her. Yet, it is still a pity. Ye Moxuan…
Meng Xueyou caressed the eyebrows of the handsome man in the photo with her finger and she smiled gently. “If only I was by your side back then; it would be so great and none of this would have happened today.”
On the other side, when Ye Linhan heard about the news, he suddenly tightened his fingers on the pen he was holding to sign with. “What are you saying? Ye Moxuan had an accident?”
The man who came to him nodded with a sly face. “Young Master Linhan, I already had someone to look into it. I’ve heard that the sea area Young Master Ye fell into was a dangerous one. Till now, they still couldn’t find him. Except for the survivors saved on the first day, the others were all dead when they found them on the next day after the storm that night. I think that Young Master Ye might be…”
Before he finished his words, Ye Linhan abruptly stood up and grabbed on to his collar emotionally. “What about Muzi? Is she fine?”
The man who had his collar held on by Ye Linhan was shocked. “Y-Young Master Linhan…”
“Say something. If something happened to Ye Moxuan, then what about Muzi? Was she on the same flight with him? How is she now?”
Goddamn it! Ye Linhan’s face became horrifying. At the moment, he seemed like a man who just jumped out of a chilling pond while his whole body emanated a terrifying aura as if he came from hell.
“Y-Young Master Linhan… Stay calm! I-I can’t breathe with you like this.”
“Say it!”
“Miss Han is fine!” The man choked until his eyes rolled backward. He spat out the crucial words in urgency.
As expected, Ye Linhan’s eyes moved and he loosened his grip on the man’s collar after hearing that Han Muzi was fine. “She is fine?”
“Y-Yes, they didn’t take the same flight.” Ye Linhan breathed a sigh of relief before letting him go. Then, the man took a few steps back and stood firm. “Young Master Linhan, you don’t need to worry. Young Master Ye was the only one who went on that flight. He is probably dead by now,” he said to him while panting.
He is dead? Ye Moxuan’s death was not anything special to Ye Linhan. All he wanted was for Muzi to be safe; the others… were not as important.
“Young Master Linhan, if Ye Moxuan is dead, then the Ye Group now is not the same as the Ye Group before. Those old geezers on the board of directors will definitely come for you after they had just lost their leader.”
Meanwhile, Ye Linhan pressed his thin lips and took out his phone to call Han Muzi. Even though the news he received that she was fine, he realized that the same news could still spread to her ears. He could not predict what extreme actions she took after finding out about Ye Moxuan’s accident. Now, Ye Linhan was very worried about her. After he made the call, he got a message saying that her phone was turned off.
“Why is it turned off?” Ye Linhan frowned. As he thought about trying it one more time, the man in front of him came over. “Young Master Linhan, did you listen to what I’ve just said?”
Ye Linhan frowned while lifting his head to look at the man with displease.
“Err… Young Master Linhan, what I mean is… if Young Master Ye is dead, this is your best chance of getting back to the Ye Family.”
“No need to hurry,” he replied to him with just a few words. To him, Han Muzi’s safety was the priority. Yet, he failed to get through to her phone, so he said, “Send someone right away to find out what happened to Muzi. I need to know where she is and her current condition after Ye Moxuan’s accident.”
“Young Master Linhan?” The man widened his eyes in shock. “I don’t think this is the time to do something like this. If you don’t take the opportunity now to return to the Ye Group, then in the future”
“Just do what I just told you to do!” Ye Linhan almost grinded his teeth when he snapped at him.
