"Me?"

Helian Shuang sneered, showing no sign of guilt.

"Hmph, that’s right... it was my choice! I valued the Fu Family’s status. Fu Xianlin only had one daughter, and whoever married her would naturally benefit greatly! But, I didn’t know she was so despicable!"

Despicable? Helian Si was filled with doubt, "Don’t talk nonsense! How is Wanwan like that?"

Helian Shuang curled her lips, disagreeing, but she refused to continue speaking.

"Since you already know, there’s no need for me to hide it. However, some things I wouldn’t say in the past, and I still won’t now! I can only tell you, you and Yu Sangwan cannot be together! Originally, I could have brought you two together, and just as easily, I can tear you apart!"

Brought together?

Helian Si recalled Chen Ke’s words and couldn’t help but ask, "Back then, was Wanwan promised to Yuxuan?"

"..."

Helian Shuang was shocked and looked at him sharply, her reaction betraying her true thoughts.

Helian Si frowned in frustration, sighing, "So it really is true! Mom, can you do something good for me?"

"How haven’t I? Who do you think I did all this for? Isn’t it for you!"

Helian Shuang’s voice was loud, her emotions extremely agitated.

But Helian Si interrupted her with a low growl, "Stop it! I don’t know how we got along in the past... but looking at you now, you keep saying it’s for me? Ha! How am I supposed to understand a mother who turns herself into a sister for her son?"

"Ah Si!"

Helian Shuang was anxious, hurrying to say, "You don’t remember anything now, so you misunderstand..."

"No need to make things up!" Helian Si wasn’t listening at all, "I have my own judgment! If I could understand your actions, I wouldn’t have forgotten the past and become the Helian Si I am now! Mom, I’ve forgotten past events; I’m not stupid!"

"..." Helian Shuang was stunned, her mouth moved but she couldn’t argue anymore!

Helian Si held his forehead, his expression painful, "Why do this? What else did you do to Yuxuan?"

At the mention of Lu Yuxuan, Helian Shuang showed no guilt at all, "You don’t need to know, and I won’t say either! I can only say whatever I did to him, I don’t regret, and I could do even worse!"

Seeing her like this, an astonishing thought emerged in Helian Shuang’s mind, "Why? Yuxuan... whose child is he?" Unable to pry Helian Shuang’s mouth open, Helian Si had no other way.

What he needed to do now was to release Chen Ke from the cell first.

The cell door opened, yet Chen Ke sat motionless.

Helian Si frowned, "Come out."

"Hmph." Chen Ke remained still, laughing, "Go out? And then what?"

"Come out first, we can talk after." Helian Si’s brow furrowed tightly, the pressure mounting.

Chen Ke laughed, "Catch when you want, release when you want, you’re really doing as you please! Do you enjoy this feeling? Is that why you treated me like that back then?"

"Do you really want to continue talking to me this way?" Helian Si suppressed his anger, "Aren’t you being childish? No matter what, the past is past! Can we think about the future? How should we resolve the current situation?"

"Tch."

Chen Ke wasn’t grateful at all, "You’re right, I am this childish! The current situation? My past is a mess, what’s there to resolve? I damn well have no future!"

He suddenly became agitated, wild and irritable.

Helian Si was slightly stunned, vaguely understanding that it was his mother who hurt his brother, and he was naturally involved as well. So, despite his dissatisfaction, he softened, "Alright, tell me, what do you want? What will it take for you to come out?"

"Ha."

Chen Ke raised a finger, "The first condition, bring Yu Sangwan! However you took her from me, give her back the same way!"

"You..."

Helian Si was exasperated, this time unable to control himself, "Impossible!"

"Impossible?" Chen Ke curled his lips, closing his eyes again, "Fine, then leave!"

"You!" Helian Si felt stifled in his chest, "This request is unreasonable! What do you want Wanwan for? We were all young back then, not understanding emotions at all... and it’s been so many years, she’s already my wife!"

"That’s why I said, give her back to me!"

Chen Ke suddenly stood up, his height matching Helian Si’s. "Listen carefully, everything you took from me, I want it all back, one by one!"

"Except for her, I can give you anything!"

Helian Si gritted his teeth, his jaw tightening.

"Haha!" Chen Ke chuckled, "Then it’s really unfortunate, what you least want to lose, is exactly what I want!"

He leaned closer to Helian Si, lowering his voice, "Lu Jinxuan, you also need to taste what it’s like... to lose everything!"

"Ridiculous!"

Helian Si shouted in anger, turned, and left, flinging his sleeve.

Ou Guanshen followed closely behind him, seeing his gloomy face, not daring to say a word. ...

Receiving a call from Ou Guanshen, Yu Sangwan was slightly surprised.

"Secretary Ou, is there something you need?"

"I..." Ou Guanshen stammered, "Subordinate..."

"Secretary Ou." Yu Sangwan smiled, "Don’t talk to me like that."

"Sigh." Ou Guanshen sighed, "The subordinate knows, it’s the proper way to address you..."

He was Helian Si’s person, and Yu Sangwan didn’t want to say much, "Why did you call me, is there something?"

"Well..." Ou Guanshen hesitated, then spoke, "That Chen Ke, he says he wants to see you... then he’ll come out!"

Chen Ke?

Yu Sangwan paused for a moment, she had already heard from Tang Yueze... She never imagined Chen Ke was actually Yuxuan!

"But, Reporter Yu." Ou Guanshen hesitated, "Can we not tell the President? Don’t say I informed you..."

"What’s wrong?" Yu Sangwan asked curiously.

"Uh, it’s complicated, you’ll understand when you get here."

Since Ou Guanshen was reluctant to explain, Yu Sangwan opted not to ask further. She didn’t think much of it... Chen Ke was Yuxuan, Jinxuan’s brother wants to see her before coming out? Regardless of the reason, she had to go.

Hanging up the phone, Yu Sangwan returned to her room to change.

"Hey! What are you up to?" Pei Pei poked her head in.

"Hmm? Peipei." Seeing her, Yu Sangwan quickly said, "Changing clothes, come with me to Guan Chao."

"Huh?" Pei Pei was surprised, "Why? Do I have to go too?"

"Aren’t you going to see Chen Ke? I’m going to meet him, let’s go together."

"Really!" Pei Pei rejoiced, nearly jumping up, "Wait for me! I haven’t seen him in ages!"

"Then hurry up! Quickly!"

"Okay!"

Arriving at Guan Chao, Helian Si saw Yu Sangwan, and his expression changed, "Wanwan, why are you here now? Are you here to see Qingming? He’s studying at the moment, you’ll have to wait."

"No, I want to see Chen Ke." Yu Sangwan still didn’t know what was happening and pulled Pei Pei along, "Can we go together?"

"You..." Helian Si suspiciously glanced at Ou Guanshen, who just shook his head with his mouth shut.

He was still skeptical, "Didn’t you hear something?"
