Chapter 56: Concealing the Truth
As soon as Ye Xin got home, she lifted the vase by the door, preparing to smash it.
Upon seeing this, Gao Wen cried out, “My princess, that’s the antique your father got from an auction last month! Can you please be more gentle with it?!”
Ye Xin grew even more infuriated upon hearing these words. She screamed, “You only care about the antiques! Are antiques more important than I am?”
Gao Wen hurried over and hugged Ye Xin. “My baby, what’s the matter? Who upset you?”
It was also at this moment that Gao Wen discovered Peng and Lawyer Jin standing behind Ye Xin. She hurriedly asked, “Lawyer Jin? Why are you here? What happened?”
Lawyer Jin replied perfunctorily, “Something happened to Miss Ye so I was helping her out.”
“Something happened? What happened? Peng?” Gao Wen looked at Peng.
Peng winced before she glanced at Ye Xin.
Ye Xin pushed Gao Wen away before she furiously grabbed and threw the cushion on the sofa to the floor.
“Peng, what’s the matter?” Gao Wen asked. She only glanced at her daughter and did not attempt to stop her daughter’s tantrum at all, allowing her daughter to vent her anger as much as she wanted to.
Peng replied fearfully, “Miss Ye went to the hospital and got into an altercation with a woman. Following that, she was sent to the police station.”
Gao Wen raised her eyebrows. “With whom did she get into an altercation?”
Peng lowered her head and stammered, “T-the woman who married P-president Mu…”
“What happened next?” Gao Wen raised her voice.
“Uh, t-they… they called the p-police. W-when the police came, all of us were brought to the police station,” Peng said as her voice and her courage grew smaller and smaller.
“I’m asking you what happened to that woman,” Gao Wen said harshly.
“S-she’s fine,” Peng replied. She had assumed Gao Wen was asking if anyone was injured.
“That means my baby lost to her.” No wonder her daughter was so angry.
Gao Wen turned to look at Lawyer Jin and asked angrily, “Who’s she? How dare she act so arrogantly? She dares to provoke the Ye family?”
Peng took a step back with her head lowered. She did not dare to speak at all.
Lawyer Jin hurriedly replied, “That woman is President Mu’s wife. President Mu and Assistant Cheng were present at that time, and President Mu called his lawyer over as well.”
Gao Wen was surprised. “So it’s not just a rumor that she married Mu Chen? Did Xin go there to look for trouble with her?”
Peng nodded quickly.
Gao Wen gritted her teeth. “That sl*t! How dare she seduces the Ye family’s future son-in-law?” She looked at her exhausted daughter who was sitting and panting on the sofa as she said, “Baby, don’t be angry. Mom will bring you to the Mu residence and speak to Mu Chen’s grandmother. She’ll definitely stand up for you!”
Ye Xin sneered. “That old witch won’t do that. Do you know how happy she looked when she spoke about her grandson and her granddaughter-in-law? Her happy smile makes me feel sick to my stomach. If she really likes me, how could she allow that woman to marry Mu Chen in the first place? Mom, they fooled us! Tell Ye Cheng not to have business dealings with the Mu family anymore!”
Gao Wen did not take her daughter’s words to heart. She assumed her daughter was throwing a tantrum as usual. As she wiped the tears off of Ye Xin’s face, she said, “In the entire M City, no, in the entire country, you’re the only one who’s a match for Mu Chen. He grew up being spoiled by his grandmother so he’s much more stubborn compared to your brother. Ever since he was a child, he had never had to bow to anyone, not even his father. Therefore, it’s not surprising if he’s angry with us…”
“Fine. I admit that it’s my fault!” Ye Xin began to cry again. When she recalled the incident earlier, she felt aggrieved again. “I threw my pride away and apologized to him in front of so many people, but he ignored me!”
At this moment, Gao Wen recalled something. She asked, “Didn’t your brother investigate that woman? Just ruin her reputation. There’s no way the Mu family will accept a woman with a tarnished reputation. At that time, they will surely realize how great you are compared to her. Where’s her information? Let me have a look!”
Ye Xin stopped crying immediately. She grabbed the phone that Peng passed to her mother away before she said, “Mom, I’ll deal with this woman on my own. Call Ye Cheng and ask him to invite Mu Chen over for dinner. I want to speak to Mu Chen here. No matter what, he has to be courteous to me in my home, right?”
Seeing that her daughter had stopped crying, Gao Wen’s mood improved. “Okay, okay, I’ll call your brother and ask him to invite Mu Chen over dinner. If he refuses, we’ll kidnap him here!”
Gao Wen did not waste time and called Ye Cheng immediately.
Meanwhile, Ye Xin gripped her phone tightly as she bit her lips. ‘That woman’s identity must never be made public. Since she has retired, she must stay hidden forever. Please don’t show up ever again!’
