âWhat?â Xia Jingshu exclaimed as she looked up at her son, as though she didnât really understand what he said earlier. However, she quickly got the message.
âMomâ¦â Ye Hao crouched down and suddenly took his motherâs hands in his before he said hoarsely, âXiao Yu is Ye Yiâs son.â
Boomâ¦
She felt as though the house was about to collapse. Xia Jingshuâs facial muscles tensed and she pursed her lips tightly before she suddenly fell backwards.
Her face immediately turned to the color of ash.
She opened her mouth and both her mouth and eyes opened extremely wide. She placed a hand over her and felt as though was about to stop beating.
âMom, please relax,â Ye Hao saw the myriad of emotions that crossed his motherâs face and he gripped his motherâs hands hard. He was afraid that his mother would become as agitated as he had been earlier. He was also scared that she would vomit blood.
Xia Jingshu gasped and it seemed like she could no longer hear his voice.
The only words that kept repeating in her mind were the words her son had told her: Xiao Yu is Ye Yiâs son.
The grandson whom she doted on wasâ¦.
My god! Xia Jingshu suddenly let out a loud exclamation.
Ye Hao rose to his feet.
His earlier anger was gradually dissipating and it was now replaced with anguish. He felt sorry for himself and at the same time, he ridiculed himself.
âAh Haoâ¦â his mother said as she suddenly gripped his left hand. Then, he heard his mother say angrily, âSend them both to hell.â
Xia Jingshu said through gritted teeth. This time, he was surprised to hear her mention the word âhellâ.
She hated both Han Xue and Ye Yi intensely and truly wished that the son that her husband had with another woman would be sentenced to death. She also longed for her daughter-in-law of six months to pay for her crimes.
Ye Haoâs face was stormy and a flash of bitter hatred crossed his eyes.
âMom, they will pay the price for the crimes theyâve committed. Iâve already sent someone to track down Ye Yiâs whereabouts. Thereâs no way heâll be able to escape and I will not let him off the hook either,â he said.
Although he had promised his father not to harm his brothers regardless of what they did, Ye Yiâs actions were simply too abominable. How dare he try to use Han Xue to harm him? Moreover, he had to pay the price for his crimes and rightfully deserved his punishment.
Both mother and son were incredibly angry at the Ye mansion and over at the police station, Han Xue was already wearing a blue prison jumpsuit. Her hair had also been shorn short by a police officer. Her waist-length curls were now cut into a short bob. Her face no longer looked as beautiful and exquisite now that she wasnât wearing any makeup. She looked very haggard and her eyes were swollen and red. She looked as though she had aged several years in an instant.
She used to look as though she was only in her twenties despite being in her thirties but now, she looked like her age.
âHan Xue, do you still want to lie? Donât forget, Iâve already warned you many times, your sentence will only increase if you continue lying to us,â the officer said.
Han Xue was ushered into the interrogation room once more and the officer in charge of interrogating her was none other than the female officer who she was most afraid of.
She closed her eyes and said hoarsely, âOfficer, Iâve already told you everything I know. Thereâs nothing left for me to hide.â
âIs that so?â the officer said as she arched her brow. âYou havenât explained why Ye Yi would help you and even help you murder Wang Lan?â
Han Xue said with a wry smile, âI already told you the reason. It is because heâs my ex-lover.â
âIs that all? Why donât you tell me whether or not your son is actually your husbandâs biological son?â the officer asked.
