Chapter 440: 440: The Most Ruthless, Most Ruthless _1

Beichuan, who was originally stopped by Ye Qilan’s people outside the estate, sensed trouble when he saw the police enter.

When he rushed in, Ye Qilan was already handcuffed.

Add in the incessant flashing lights, his heart chilled, knowing things had escalated severely.

Without hesitation, he immediately called to have all internet news about Ye Qilan deleted.

However, this is the age of digital information. Although the news was pulled quickly, many people had already seen this breaking news.

The elder of the Ye Family, residing in the family’s old mansion, also saw the news about Ye Qilan and his expression turned grim.

He had known that Ye Qilan’s stubborn way would lead to his ruin by Su Hongxing. Isn’t it now proving his thoughts correct?

Love and hate intertwined in his feelings for Ye Qilan. Of course, he couldn’t allow things to take a calamitous turn. After all, Ye Qilan still had the surname of Ye, and even if he was dismissed from the Ye Family, he was still a descendant of the family.

Once such news broke out, the entire Ye Family would be affected.

Fortunately, the elder of the Ye Family knew many people. He pulled some strings, and only when all the news was suppressed, did he catch his breath.

Meanwhile, at Qingmu Garden, Ye Qilan was taken into a police car, putting an abrupt end to the wedding.

Su Hongxing was also taken in for questioning. As she was about to get into another police car, Beichuan hurriedly stopped her, “Su Su, I have something to say, please wait.”

Beichuan clearly knew the full extent of the grudges and affection between Su Hongxing and Ye Qilan.

Looking back, he was the one who instigated this. If he hadn’t intervened and brought Cao Shiyu into Ye Qilan’s life, would Su Hongxing and Ye Qilan have divorced?

If they had not divorced, how could they have ended up where they are now?

Beichuan asked the police to wait and pulled Su Hongxing aside.

Watching Ye Qilan in the police car, Beichuan noticed that ever since Ye Qilan’s arrest, he had been continuously looking at Su Hongxing.

But Su Hongxing hadn’t once looked back at Ye Qilan, not even once.

“I know Sisi is the one who wronged you first, but isn’t the trap you set today a bit too cruel?” Beichuan said quietly.

Su Hongxing was also a ruthless woman, a trait that ideally matched Ye Qilan’s. Sadly, they swore to be enemies and ended up where they are today.

As an outsider looking in now, Beichuan thought it was a shame they had ended up like this.

“You’re the only woman he’s truly loved in his life. I know he discarded you over and over again, even causing you to lose a child, but do you have to take revenge like this…”

“You’re overthinking it, I’m not trying to get revenge on him. I just don’t want to marry him, and I don’t want to be entangled with him anymore.”

Su Hongxing cut Beichuan’s words off.

Only she had the memories of her past two lives, only she struggled in this agony. She just wanted to live a different life than before, and didn’t want to die a third time for Ye Qilan. Was that too much to ask?

There was a time when she really thought about jumping from the top of the Red Building, perhaps to find liberation.

Yet she couldn’t bring herself to do it.

She couldn’t accept the same outcome in all three lifetimes, couldn’t bear to die three times for the same man.

She wanted to live a life free from Ye Qilan, to lead a peaceful life.

What she wanted from Ye Qilan was to let go of her. If she wasn’t harsh in her actions, Ye Qilan would continue to cling to her. Sometimes, she had to admit that Ye Qilan was excessively obstinate.

Only by being the most ruthless, heartless, could she completely get rid of Ye Qilan’s hold on her.
