"Mom..."

Ye Mingmei was stunned, her eyes wide open in shock. It was somewhat surprising that the usually gentle Su Yiru would say something so decisive.

"If you truly care about Mom, remember what I said today. The bad things Yu Xiuzhun has done probably won’t be cleared for a lifetime. Our Ye Family is clean and innocent. Not just me, even your father when he was alive, would never agree for you to be with such a scoundrel."

"We’re not together..."

"That’s for the best! Your father’s death, to this day, cannot be determined how much relation it has to the Yu family. I’ve always suspected that the mastermind behind that scheme was Yu Xiuzhun. The further you are from such a person, the better!"

"..."

Ye Mingmei opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn’t utter a single word.

Yu Xiuzhun promised her he would stop, but in the end, he still deceived her.

Not to mention Su Yiru doesn’t believe it, even she doesn’t believe he will really change.

"Medicine is three parts poison, even if you’re not feeling well, you can’t take so much medicine. Let the butler prepare a few doses for you to take first. If it doesn’t work, we won’t take it further, and we’ll go to the hospital for a check-up."

Su Yiru said a few harsh words, looking at Ye Mingmei’s pale face, and remembered the medicine packets on the table.

Brought the medicine packets closer and flipped through them.

The medicine names and noted effects on top were all indeed for conditioning the body, only then was she slightly relieved.

Herbal medicine has small side effects, so it’s worth a try.

"Ru, your fashion show is about to start soon, have you taken care of all the clothing designs?" Qin Youxuan spoke softly, her gaze shifting from Ye Mingmei to Su Yiru. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"The sample clothes have been sent for processing. I haven’t even had time to rush the finished products. Now that you mention it, I just realized the time, why hasn’t anyone sent it to me yet? I’ll go and ask."

Upon mentioning her designs, Su Yiru also became serious, taking her phone and walking upstairs.

In the living room, only Qin Youxuan and Ye Mingmei were left.

Qin Youxuan glanced at the medicine packets on the table, placed her hands on her knees, and stood up from the sofa, "Come back to the room with me."

"..."

Ye Mingmei dared not speak and obediently followed her.

The two entered the room, one after the other.

As soon as Ye Mingmei closed the door, she felt the air pressure in the room drop instantly, nervously clutching the hem of her clothes.

"Sis, I’m sorry."

"Sorry for what?"

Qin Youxuan walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and pulled the curtain open. A stream of sunlight poured in, casting bright and warm on the floor.

She leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window, slowly turned around, and looked at Ye Mingmei.

"...The day the report came out, I hung up on you." Ye Mingmei murmured softly.

"Have you been with Yu Xiuzhun this whole week?" Qin Youxuan asked directly, and Ye Mingmei’s face instantly turned pale, unable to lift her head due to guilt.

"I don’t want to interfere too much with your personal business, but you heard Ru’s words yourself, Yu Xiuzhun is not your best choice."

Qin Youxuan paused, her gaze darkening.

"Moreover, he is also related to Dad’s death."

"I never intended to be with him." Ye Mingmei suddenly spoke, looking earnestly at Qin Youxuan, "Ever since I left the Yu Family Villa, I no longer harbor any expectations for him."

She couldn’t change Yu Xiuzhun and didn’t want to overestimate herself anymore.

The Ye Family couldn’t accept the murderer who killed Ye Zhanxing either.

"Love has no right or wrong, but if your love is not blessed by others, you will live a very hard life." Qin Youxuan stepped forward and hugged Ye Mingmei’s fragile body.

"Think it through yourself."
