Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Huang Ziyao could only react after a while. Looking at Yue Lingsi, she asked, “What is this? You guys had people follow Yifeng?”

Sadness filled Xi Xinyi’s face and she looked at Huang Ziyao with teary eyes. “Someone sent it to us... Mother, Yifeng...”

Huang Ziyao’s expression darkened. She calmed down before looking at Xi Xinyi. “This matter is still unclear at the moment, so I’ll talk to Yifeng about it. As for you, the elder is really unhappy with you regarding the scandal. You know that our elder at home places a lot of importance on reputation. I gave him my word and convinced him to let Yifeng be with you, but look at what has happened now?”

Huang Ziyao seemed unsatisfied and she sighed in disappointment. “Xinyi, please note that I’ve always thought of you as my own daughter, and I’ve assumed that you’re already my daughter-in-law. I went against our elder and agreed to let Yifeng be with you. I gave up on your sister, Xi Xiaye. You’ve really let me down!”

“Mother! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’ll change, I promise! Yifeng is really angry with me as well. Please ask him to stop being angry with me., I don’t know what to do... We’ve gone through so much to be together. If he gives up on me now... I’ll suffer a fate even worse than death. Mother, please... I didn’t do it on purpose. I can’t live without Yifeng... My child and I can’t live without him...”

Xi Xinyi suddenly started crying again as she grabbed Huang Ziyao’s hand. When her warm tears splashed on the back of her hands, Huang Ziyao felt pity for her.

Huang Ziyao sighed after a while and patted the weeping girl’s hand. “Please stop crying. I’m not really sure what I can do now. If this child is really Yifeng’s, the elder wants both of you to get married as soon as possible, but you’ll have to quit the entertainment industry immediately due to your current circumstances. Let this ongoing issue fade on its own. The Han Corporation can’t take this anymore. I hope you can understand!”

“But what about Yueying? Grandmother’s been sick...”

“Let Yifeng handle Yueying for now now. Stay low for a period of time. We can arrange a secret wedding, or we can have the wedding after things have calmed down.”

“I hope that you can be considerate about Yifeng. I’m sure you understand how much pressure Yifeng has to take on because of you. You know how much the Han Corporation has tried to help you. Your utmost priority right now is to take care of yourself. You don’t have to go abroad. I have a villa in the west outskirts. I suppose you can move there in secret after leaving the hospital. It’s pretty hidden, so no one should be able to find out. Be at ease and rest there.”

Huang Ziyao then looked at Xi Xinyi questioningly. “What do you guys think?”

Let Yifeng handle Yueying for now?

Xi Xinyi was stunned for a moment. So, Huang Ziyao meant...

She raised her head and looked at Huang Ziyao as she mumbled, “Mother, you mean...”

Huang Ziyao sighed again, “What else can we do right now? The elder wants both of you to get married quickly. We’ll decide on what to do next later on. Most importantly, don’t get involved in the entertainment industry ever again...”

Xi Xinyi’s face turned pale when she heard Huang Ziyao. As she looked at Yue Lingsi, she was frowning in deep thought. After a while, she suddenly asked, “Mother, can you let me think about it?”

“As you wish. That’s what we’ve come up with. We’ll talk to Yifeng about it as well. I’ll head back for now. Later on, I’ll send someone over to look after you. Please think it through.”

Huang Ziyao sighed after her sentence. She then turned around and left the room.

“Mother, you’ve been busy this whole morning. Go back and rest. I’m really alright. I just want to spend some time alone,” Xi Xinyi turned over and told Yue Lingsi.

Yue Lingsi nodded. “Okay, I have something to discuss with your grandmother as well. Don’t worry, things will be fine. I’ll go talk to your grandfather...”

...

After Yue Lingsi left, Xi Xinyi quieted down and the look in her eyes changed several times!

Her gaze landed on the photos by the bedside. She bit her lip as she clenched her fists and her pale face started to seem frigid.

...

As Qingming approached, the sky seemed dark and several bouts of drizzle came. The whole City Z was shrouded in a hazy atmosphere.

Inside the Chairman’s office of Glory World Corporation.

“Master, Director Xi isn’t here. Someone said she applied for a half day’s leave this afternoon from Vice President Liu.”

Li Si wanted to retrieve a document from Xi Xiaye, but someone from the Planning Department had told him about this.

Mu Yuchen averted his gaze away from the laptop towards Li Si. “What’s the reason?”

Li Si shook his head. “They said she left swiftly after receiving a phone call...”

Mu Yuchen frowned. When he opened the drawer and took out his phone, he then realized it was switched off, so he quickly switched it back on.

Before he could even blink, the phone started ringing.

He picked up the call. “Hello?”

“Master, things are bad. Take a look at Weibo and the Economy Times. It’s full of articles about Missus!” Ah Mo sounded anxious.

Mu Yuchen’s expression turned serious when he heard Ah Mo and he quickly opened Weibo.

As expected, there were articles directed towards Xi Xiaye.

His face darkened and a storm was brewing in his eyes. He shoved a glass nearby away in rage.

“Damn it!”

The glass broke into pieces on the floor.

“Master...”

Even Ah Mo on the other end of the phone could feel his wrath, so Li Si did not dare to make a sound.

Mu Yuchen put his hand on the table as he took a deep breath. He calmed his anger after a while. “How’s your investigation going?”

“I’ve found Yang Jianfeng and I’m heading over now, but I noticed that Missus’ car is nearby. I’m not sure if I should go look for him right away.” Ah Mo sounded hesitant.

“Be on standby. Send the address to me.”

Mu Yuchen then hung up as he stood up coldly and walked out of the room.

“Master, where are you going?” Li Si asked as he grabbed their windbreaker before catching up with him.

Chapter 252: Xiaye’s Merciless (1)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In a field in the northern suburbs of the city, Xi Xiaye was dressed in a black windbreaker as she stood on the side of the field. Both her hands leaned onto the ice-cold railing before her while she looked up at the distant horizon. The sky was blanketed in mist and the cold breeze was incessant. With the dark clouds hovering, it looked like it was going to rain soon.

Quite a while after that, she retrieved her gaze and looked down at the field at the bottom of the hill which was currently filled with vigor and vitality.

The rustling cold wind blew her beautiful hair as the corner of her clothes swayed in the wind. There was a beautiful curve carved on her face.

It was not sure how long had passed when she heard the sound of a car approaching behind her. Indifferently, she then turned around to look toward the sound.

A black car greeted her sight.

The car stopped by the roadside very quickly and the car door was opened. Three people got down. The one leading was a very thin middle-aged man who wore sunglasses. He walked up in huge strides to Xi Xiaye, while the two people behind him waited by the car. It looked like one person was being controlled by another.

Xi Xiaye looked at the middle – aged man who gradually closed in, and she calmly greeted him, “Long time no see, Detective Zhang.”

“You’re always so punctual. Have you waited for long?”

Detective Zhang took his sunglasses off with a smile. His sharp gaze swept across Xi Xiaye and he stopped beside her. “Your situation doesn’t look too fantastic. Take a look for yourself.”

Then, he handed a newspaper to Xi Xiaye.

Xi Xiaye took it. Although she saw that it was all filled with writings about her so-called scandal at the military academy, she was surprisingly calm. She did not even frown before she casually closed it.

She breathed in lightly and then looked down at the scenery below as she asked softly, “Didn’t you say you found him?”

“I did find him, but I couldn’t make him talk. He’s pretty tough, if he won’t talk, then that evidence can’t completely convict him either. In other words, that evidence isn’t enough to clear your name.”

Detective Zhang glanced at her meaningfully, then turned to wave at the car below. Quickly another person was being dragged over.

“I’ve brought him for you. See if you’ve got a way of making him talk.” By the time Detective Zhang said that, the man was already in front of her while they quietly backed away.

The man was tall and one of his eyes was blind. Inside, a fake eye rolled backwards, appearing a little sinister in disharmony. He looked like he was more than 40 years old.

It was Yang Jianfeng!

“So, it is you!”

When Yang Jianfeng saw Xi Xiaye, his expression instantly looked sinister and he stared coldly at Xi Xiaye.

“Witch, how dare you ruin me!? You still dare come looking for me? Do you see this? My eye was ruined by your pen!” Yang Jianfeng said through gritted teeth. His fierce demeanor made him look as if he wanted to swallow Xi Xiaye alive.

One got exceptionally infuriated meeting an enemy. When she thought about all these horrid years, Xi Xiaye felt a surge of rage in her too. Her fingers that grasped onto the railing turned pale from holding on tight. Her starry eyes studied Yang Jianfeng as she sneered, “I really regret not immediately stabbing your other eye blind back then.”

“You b*tch!”

“Isn’t it thanks to you that I was expelled from the military academy? Yang Jianfeng, I know that Xi Xinyi made you do it. How much money did she give you? Are you so willing to sacrifice yourself for her like this?” Xi Xiaye said coolly.

Yang Jianfeng’s gaze flashed as he answered very quickly, “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

“You don’t?” Xi Xiaye turned slightly and looked at him from the side. A faint smile flashed on her delicate and fair face. She really played it down as she spoke.

“Huh, I don’t know what nonsense you’re spewing. You ruined me. I haven’t even settled this score with you! Today would be perfect!” Yang Jianfeng gritted his teeth and looked at Xi Xiaye, his eyes filled with anger and hatred. He suddenly clenched his fists and was about to hit when —

Xi Xiaye quietly looked away as her hand holding onto the railing tightened. She scoffed. “Is that so? Then, let’s settle it today!”

By that time, she already could not hold back and abruptly turned around to grab Yang Jianfeng’s collar. She was swifter than him, and in the next second a slap came forth!

Pa!

Before Yang Jianfeng could react, a slap came and then he felt a sharp pain on his shin! The loud and clear sound broke the silence in the field and everything happened very quickly.

Yang Jianfeng was stunned by the blow. When he finally reacted, he was furious.”B*tch! How dare you attack me!?”

“Why wouldn’t I? Back then, Xi Xinyi wanted you to use the necklace to frame me, didn’t she? And you even thought of coming onto me? With looks like yours, do you think that’d work?”

Xi Xiaye’s face was cold as ice. Both her hands quickly pushed Yang Jianfeng’s shoulder down. She lifted her leg and viciously kicked him a few times angrily again. It hurt so much that Yang Jianfeng could not help but cry out in pain.

“Who do you think you are? Forget that you’re ugly, you’re so dumb too, a whole man used by a woman, getting yourself a lifelong deformity, now you’re just miserable, if I were a useless toad like you, I would’ve long ended my life, where do I find the dignity to be a man?”

Xi Xiaye kicked him viciously a few times before she pushed Yang Jianfeng away. She looked down on him in disdain!

Yang Jianfeng was immediately infuriated by her words. Propping himself up on the railing and looking at Xi Xiaye sinisterly, how could he hold back anymore? He pounced forward immediately and shouted, “You b*tch! I’m only like this because of you, you evil b*tch! It’s your luck that I fancied you. Who do you think you are? If I knew that you were so hard to manage, I should’ve used the drugs and kill you then and there! Let the sexy pictures of you make headlines on all the media!”

“Is that so? You finally admit your dirty and disgusting motives!” Xi Xiaye evaded him and said coldly.

“I just fancied a little of your good looks. Huh, it’s not like you haven’t played around before, so why do you have to pretend? Han Yifeng’s heart isn’t with you. Given your little identity, are you a match for my cousin? Even an idiot wouldn’t choose you. You’re just like your father back then, so stupid that he gave up an instant boost in his career!”

Yang Jianfeng’s hands clenched into fists while his eyes were filled with viciousness and disdain.

“So, you don’t plan to let go of this chance and want to help Xi Xinyi ruin me? Back then, Xi Xinyi successfully made Han Yifeng dislike me and look down on me. Why does she have to push me to the edge before she’s happy?” The corner of Xi Xiaye’s lips curled up slightly as she asked coldly.

“Huh, obviously it’s to make sure you can never make a comeback! To make sure you’ll never be able to enter the Han family! That’s the only way I’ll really feel assured. I’ve told my cousin that’s the only way you wouldn’t be a threat to her!”
