Chapter 2452: Chapter 2452: I’ve Been Waiting for You to Come Back
"Why did you come back so late?" Su Yiru, who had somehow sneaked behind Ye Mingmei, patted her shoulder.
"Mom, you scared me to death." Ye Mingmei covered her mouth with her hand to stop herself from shouting, "Why are you still awake so late?"
Ye Mingmei glanced at her watch; it was almost eleven o’clock. At this time, Su Yiru would usually be asleep.
"You ask me? I couldn’t sleep because I was waiting for you. Come out with me, I have something to ask you about." Su Yiru looked at the sweetly sleeping Meimei, gave a look, and was the first to step out of the room.
"Butler, warm up two glasses of milk."
Su Yiru sat on the sofa in the living room and dismissed the butler. Her expression shifted from amiable to grave, and there was a hint of hesitation in her eyes as she looked at Ye Mingmei.
"Mom, what’s wrong? Why do you look so worried? Did something happen while I was out?" Ye Mingmei stepped forward, looking somewhat bewildered.
"It’s not confirmed yet, but today I saw something in your dad’s study. Mingmei, I heard that Yu Xiuzhun is not dead and has appeared..."
"Bang——"
Before Su Yiru could finish her sentence, Ye Mingmei bumped into the corner of the table. Her delicate face lost all color in an instant, and she looked at her in shock.
"Mom, what did you just say?"
"Where did you bump? Let me see..." Concerned, Su Yiru stood up and helped Ye Mingmei, but her arm was suddenly grabbed tightly.
"Mom, I’m fine. Tell me, what about Yu Xiuzhun? He is not dead, where is he?" Ye Mingmei’s lips began to tremble, her eyes instantly reddened, her heart pounding as if it would leap out of her chest.
She tightened her grip on Su Yiru’s hand.
"Stay calm. This hasn’t been confirmed yet. I just overheard your dad on the phone in the study. It seems someone appeared, a partner of Ye Corporation, who looks exactly like Yu Xiuzhun, but isn’t called Yu Xiuzhun. It seems his name is... Bai Zheng?"
"..."
Ye Mingmei’s body stiffened, and the shock and joy she felt moments ago seemed to be stripped away, her gaze becoming dim.
Su Yiru didn’t immediately notice her odd expression and pulled her onto the sofa.
"I know you never truly believed Yu Xiuzhun was dead. That’s why when I heard this news, I waited for you to come back. I’ve seen the photo of that Bai Zheng; he looks like he’s been cut from the same mold as Yu Xiuzhun!"
Su Yiru grasped Ye Mingmei’s hand and noticed her palm growing cold, and quickly rubbed them vigorously, "Mingmei, I understand you might need some time to adjust, but..."
"Mom, he’s not Yu Xiuzhun." Ye Mingmei suddenly spoke, interrupting Su Yiru’s attempt to comfort her. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
She lifted her head, "I’ve met that person. He is not Yu Xiuzhun. He doesn’t remember me, nor does he remember our Meimei."
If it were Yu Xiuzhun, he wouldn’t be so cruel, forgetting her entirely after she waited for him for three whole years.
"You’ve met that person?" Su Yiru asked in surprise, slightly opening her mouth.
"Yes, I’ve seen him, on the first day. His collaboration project is being handled by me. He is not Yu Xiuzhun." Ye Mingmei lowered her eyes, explaining blandly.
Su Yiru became even more agitated, "Two people looking so alike, even if he’s not Yu Xiuzhun, there should be some sort of connection. When he saw you, wasn’t there any reaction?"
