Chapter 761: Chapter 749
"..." Yu Sangwan hesitated, retorting, "Qin Mengshu, shut up! How could the Qin family have a daughter like you who sows discord?"
Her loud voice startled Helian Shuang again, who clung to Qin Mengshu, "Ah... help! She’s after my life, my life! She’s here for revenge!"
"Don’t be afraid!" Qin Mengshu gently patted her shoulder, tauntingly looking at Yu Sangwan, "Oh, Yu Reporter, such a loud voice! So confident? Do you know who’s backing you? Didn’t you say you only have good intentions for your sister?"
She paused, "But I don’t see it that way! What exactly have you done to my sister? She’s so afraid of you!"
"Boohoo..." Helian Shuang trembled, her tears mixing into a jumble.
Qin Mengshu grew more triumphant, "You better leave now!"
Yu Sangwan furrowed her brows, holding back her anger, and addressed the butler, "Butler, I’m leaving first... please bring the doctor over..."
"Hold on!" Qin Mengshu said coldly, "It’s not your place to speak here! My sister is so afraid of you; how do I know there’s no issue with your arrangements? Butler..."
The butler frowned and abruptly said, "Miss Qin, you’re not aware of the situation; you should listen to Yu Reporter... Otherwise, when the President returns, none of us can bear the responsibility! The President ordered that all affairs in the inner courtyard listen to Yu Reporter."
"..." Qin Mengshu was taken aback, not expecting such a statement to be waiting for her.
She gritted her teeth in anger and had no choice but to give in, "Alright then! But Yu Sangwan, you can’t stay here!"
"Hmph." Yu Sangwan shook her head with a light smile, "I’ll handle it myself! Butler?"
"Yes." The butler bowed, "Yu Reporter, rest assured, I will make proper arrangements!"
...
Helian Si returned while Yu Sangwan was waiting for him in the courtyard.
"Ah Si."
Helian Si held her hand, "I heard some things, it must have been hard for you."
"It’s nothing." Yu Sangwan shook her head, frowning, "I’m just worried about Aunt’s situation... if she continues like this, her spirit will wither, and her health will worsen."
Helian Si was stunned, unable to help but feel... if not for the feud between the families, how perfect would they be as a couple? Could he ever meet another wife like Wanwan?
"Let’s go see..." Helian Si paused, turning back with confusion written on his face towards Yu Sangwan, "What’s wrong?"
Yu Sangwan smiled, "You go ahead, I won’t go in, I’ll wait for you outside."
"Wanwan?" Helian Si felt a pang of heartache, so understanding and generous she was.
"Don’t." Yu Sangwan gave him a gentle hug, "I’m not wronged, Aunt... she doesn’t want it this way herself, at the end of the day, she’s a pitiful person."
Helian Si choked up, nodding, "Alright, wait for me."
"Mhm."
Upon entering the room, he saw Qin Mengshu.
"Ah Si!" Qin Mengshu sounded like selling a favor, looking ingratiatingly at Helian Si, "I just fed Aunt, and she’ll need to take her medicine in a while."
Helian Si remained silent, only looking at the empty plates on the table, suppressing the fury within, pointing to the door, "Get out!"
"Hm?" Qin Mengshu was stunned, "What?"
"I said get out!" Helian Si growled.
Qin Mengshu, being a wealthy heiress, struggled to maintain her composure, complaining, "Have you been bewitched by that little widow? What did I do wrong? I’ve been taking care of your sister, and instead of thanking me, you’re chasing me out? Helian Si, you..."
"Shut up!"
Helian Si shouted fiercely, "Don’t call her a little widow!"
It’s important to note, the term ’little widow’ was because of him... this was his biggest regret regarding Wanwan!
"..." Qin Mengshu trembled in fear, "What did I do? You’re being rude to me!"
"Hoo!" Helian Si exhaled deeply, pointing at the empty plates and then at Helian Shuang, "She’s sick, don’t you know? She doesn’t know what she wants, like a child! Do you just feed her because she wants to eat? Do you think this is good for her?"
Qin Mengshu was shocked and fell silent.
"Qin Mengshu, don’t try to please me by pretending to be kind to her! I want a wife who genuinely understands me, who takes my family as her own, and you... are definitely not that!"
Helian Si ruthlessly exposed her, "Leave this place, I don’t need an actor! I’m already exhausted, and I don’t want to waste my energy on other things! Thank you, please leave!"
Qin Mengshu couldn’t bear the embarrassment on her face and ran out, gritting her teeth.
"Fine, I’m leaving!"
Running out, she saw Yu Sangwan in the courtyard. She gave her a fierce glare and shouted, "Yu Sangwan, don’t get complacent! This isn’t over between us!"
Yu Sangwan was slightly stunned; did Jinxuan... just kick her out? She couldn’t help but purse her lips, knowing full well how picky Jinxuan was, it wasn’t easy to be insincere. Seeing it was getting late, Yu Sangwan walked back, it was time to check Little Mantou’s homework.
At the intersection, she encountered Qin Mengshu again.
Yu Sangwan frowned, "You haven’t left yet?"
"Yu Sangwan, can we talk..." Qin Mengshu had calmed down considerably, clearly not resigned.
"Ah." Yu Sangwan nodded tiredly, "Okay, what do you want to talk about? I’m listening."
"Have you really not thought about Ah Si? Have you forgotten the storm your relationship once caused in the Cabinet?" Qin Mengshu brought up the past, hoping she’d back down, "He’s not an ordinary man! You could ruin him, and whether or not you’re a good person doesn’t matter!"
That sounded somewhat sensible.
However, Yu Sangwan still shook her head, "I’m sorry, Miss Qin... I can only say, you really don’t understand Ah Si, you don’t know what he needs or is experiencing, and what he needs, you can never provide!"
"..." Qin Mengshu was taken aback, his words eerily similar to what Helian Si just said!
Yu Sangwan sighed, "Miss Qin, sorry... I cannot leave Ah Si at this time, precisely for his own good!"
After speaking, she walked past Qin Mengshu and moved forward.
...
Helian Si returned, full of fatigue.
Yu Sangwan walked up to him, not asking about Helian Shuang’s matter, just loosening his tie for him, saying lightly, "I checked Little Mantou’s homework. The little guy has improved a lot... It seems that sometimes pressure isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Are you hungry? I’ll get you some soup..."
The next moment, she was pulled into Helian Si’s embrace.
He held her tightly as if afraid of losing her!
So close, Yu Sangwan could feel his heartbeat, steady, thump thump...
"Wanwan." Helian Si’s voice was a bit hoarse, "Don’t leave me."
Yu Sangwan raised her hand, gently patting his shoulder, "What are you thinking? Don’t think like that, it’s not going to happen."
"I know." Helian Si nodded, "But with my mom like this... I still fear! Fear that one day you won’t be able to take it anymore and..."
"I won’t." Yu Sangwan tilted her head, planting a kiss on his neck, "Don’t worry, as long as you don’t want me to leave, I won’t leave."
"Wanwan!" Helian Si tightened his arms, looking very vulnerable.
"I’m sorry, I remember nothing... the past, all these years, I’m so sorry!"
Yu Sangwan smiled, but tears fell, "Mm, I accept it... don’t blame yourself anymore, okay? If you make my love life hard, I will be upset."
"..." Helian Si closed his eyes, only in this moment, holding her in his arms, did he feel peace.
The next day.
Yu Sangwan and Helian Si went to the administration building together; there was a very important event today that she had to attend.
