Ye Cheng was shocked and speechless. After a long time, he muttered, “Zhuang Ning, what are you saying?”
Zhuang Ning smiled. “You don’t understand? It’s fine. You’ll slowly understand when you go home.”
Then, Zhuang Ning stood up gracefully, intending to leave.
Upon seeing this, Ye Cheng reached out and grabbed her hand. He said hastily, “Zhuang Ning, I love you!”
Zhuang Ning looked at him and smiled gently as she pulled her hand out of his grip. “I don’t love you. How can I fall in love with a man who tried to take my life?”
After Zhuang Ning left, Ye Cheng was still in a daze. He both understood and did not understand her words. He was panicking inwardly.
‘Yang Li… Zhuang Ning…’
In the past, he had gotten someone to get rid of Yang Li to vent Ye Xin’s anger and appease Ye Xin. At that time, he had been extremely annoyed and just wanted to get rid of the problem once and for all. It was true that he had given the order to deal with Yang Li. Later, after he received the report that the matter had been settled, he threw this matter out of his mind. He did not feel the slightest bit of guilt. Why should he feel guilty? He had never dreamed of Yang Li’s ghost. What right did an ant-like existence like Yang Li have to enter his dreams?
Xiao Peng was Zhuang Ning’s manager, and in the past, she was Ye Xin’s little assistant. He had wanted to hire a more experienced manager for Zhuang Ning in the past, but Zhuang Ning had refused, saying Xiao Peng was her savior. Zhuang Ning had said that if it were not for Xiao Peng, she would have died long ago. For this reason, he had treated Xiao Peng quite well too.
Ye Cheng prided himself on his accurate judgment. He had always been able to distinguish between those who treated him well and those who were only using him for wealth and fame. He believed that he had very good judgment. Whether they were humans, immortals, or demons, he believed he could see through them with just a glance. With his ability, he had done very well in his career like a fish in the water.
However, at this time, Ye Cheng doubted himself. He realized he could not see through Zhuang Ning. To be precise, he had never seen the real her. Was there a demon living in her heart? He had treated her so well, and yet, she had told such a terrifying story.
…
The Ye Group collapsed, and the Ye family went bankrupt.
Various parties did not even have a chance to react or extend a helping hand before the Ye Group was gone just like that.
In just a few days, the Ye Group had a new name. It was said that someone had bought over the Ye Group. The person who was able to fish in troubled water must have been impressive, but no one knew much about that mysterious person except that she was a woman.
The helpers in the Ye family house had naturally been dismissed.
The vegetative Ye He lay silent in the quiet master bedroom upstairs.
In the corridor upstairs, two women could be heard screeching at the top of their lungs.
At the same time, Ye Cheng was drinking downstairs.
Chen Chen stepped forward and forcefully snatched the glass away from Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng looked up at Chen Chen and wiped his face. He asked in a muffled voice, “Why are you here?”
Chen Chen sat down across from Ye Cheng. Then, he said quietly, “I’m sorry. I tried my best.”
Ye Cheng smiled wryly. “Why are you saying sorry when I haven’t even thanked you yet? If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even be able to hold on to this house. You spent all your savings on this, right? Alas, I can’t pay you back.”
Chen Chen was filled with mixed feelings. “My savings were given to me by the Ye family. I’ll just treat it as repaying kindness. Without the Ye family, I wouldn’t have lived to this day.”
Ye Cheng did not speak. What else could he say at this moment?
Chen Chen cleared his throat before he said again, “Young Master Cheng, that Zhuang Ning is… Yang Li. Ji’an’s people didn’t do a proper job back then. It was during the fire when the Eldest Young Miss replaced Song Ning. The two women somehow managed to escape at that time. Later on, Yang Li underwent plastic surgery and became Zhuang Ning.”
Ye Cheng thought to himself, ‘Then, Zhuang Ning began to plot her revenge…’
