Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ye Xin rose to her feet and retreated in fear. “Shut up! Shut up! Don’t mention that name! Don’t call me by that name! I’m not Ye Xin! I’m not! I’m not!”
Ye Xin’s face was as pale as a sheet of paper. When she looked at the tearful and earnest-looking Gao Wen, fear reared its ugly head in her heart as a bone-chilling cold seeped into her body.
Gao Wen was puzzled by Ye Xin’s over-the-top reaction. She rose to her feet and approached Ye Xin as she said, “Ye Xin? What’s wrong? Are you afraid? Who or what are you afraid of? Tell Mommy. Mommy will definitely help you. Ye Xin, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. Mommy is aware of everything. Mommy will definitely help you.”
Looking at the fearful expression on Ye Xin’s pale face, Gao Wen felt as though her heart was stabbed by a knife. She did not say anything else and rushed forward to hug Ye Xin. In the past, when Ye Xin lost her temper and control of her emotions, she would also hug Ye Xin to calm Ye Xin down and to comfort Ye Xin like a child. After that, Ye Xin would slowly calm down.
Alas, it was different this time.
As soon as Gao Wen touched Ye Xin, Ye Xin acted as though she had been electrocuted. She pushed Gao Wen away desperately. She had used so much strength that Gao Wen, who was caught off guard, stumbled back and hit the dining table.
The dining table was knocked askew, causing the dishes on the table to fall to the floor.
As the sound of shattering glass rang in the air, Ye Xin hurriedly pulled the door open and stumbled out of the room.
The waiters and customers looked at Ye Xin curiously as she left in a hurry. She ran out of the restaurant as though she was being chased by a ghost. Even when she exited the restaurant, the scorching sun that shone down on her was not enough to dispel the shivers. As she looked at the busy street in front of her, panic seized her heart. After a moment, she hastily brought her phone out and dialed a string of numbers.
“Hello?”
When Mu Qing’s steady and calm voice rang in Ye Xin’s ears, her heart calmed down slightly. She said tremblingly, “Sir, something happened.”
“What’s wrong?” Mu Qing asked in confusion.
“I need to see you right now!” Ye Xin said as she looked around nervously, afraid that Gao Wen would catch up to her.
Mu Qing was silent for a moment before he finally said, “Let’s meet at the villa.”
“Alright!” Ye Xin felt like a drowning person who had been given a lifebuoy as she hurriedly hailed a cab.
…
Mu Qing only arrived at the villa an hour later.
Ye Xin looked like a startled animal. As soon as she saw him, she rushed into his arms and said, “Sir, something has happened.”
Mu Qing frowned. “What happened? Why are you so flustered? Didn’t I tell you that we should only meet at the agreed time?”
Mu Qing sat down on the couch as he spoke.
The sunlight streamed in the living room, making it bright. The lighting in the villa was rather good.
Ye Xin stood in the center of the living room. Her body trembled as she said, “My mother… My mother did a DNA test. S-she said… S-she said that she’s aware of everything…”
After she finished speaking, her legs gave away, and she fell to her knees.
Mu Qing was shocked by this. “She’s aware of everything? What exactly is she aware of?”
Ye Xin tried her best to calm down before she said, “She knows that I’m Ye Xin, not Song Ning.”
“Does she know anything else apart from that ?” Mu Qing asked frostily.
Ye Xin shook her head.
Upon seeing this, Mu Qing heaved a sigh of relief.
However, the sense of relief in Mu Qing’s heart was quickly swept away when Ye Xin said, “I’m not sure what else she knows…”
Mu Qing frowned as he asked, “How did she find out?”
Ye Xin shook her head.
“Did you accidentally reveal anything? Think about it carefully,” Mu Qing said icily.
Ye Xin sat on the floor in a daze.. Her mind was not working the way she wanted it to. After a long time, a thought suddenly appeared in her mind, and she exclaimed, “Liang Zhou! It must be Liang Zhou!”
