Chapter 117 Yu Meimei's Confession

Zhao Shunian didn't want to wait any longer. Yu Yin didn't make any choice, but her attitude was telling him what her choice was.

She thought about herself and Ye Fengjia, and never stood in his shoes to consider him or take his feelings into consideration. In her heart, he was not as good as Ye Fengjia.

Zhao Shunian didn't ask Yu Yin to put him first. She could love herself the most and then put him second, but he wasn't even second right now. Forget it, Yu Yin liked money, so he came in third.

But even if she has no feelings for him at all, Yu Yin loves money so much, why can't she give in a little and give him a way out because he spent so much money on her?

In an instant, Zhao Shunian felt that he might not be ranked third in Yu Yin's heart, and his heart was blocked.

Yu Meimei finished speaking, but there was no sound on the other end of the line. She checked her phone and saw that her husband hadn't hung up.

Yu Meimei began to imagine that her husband had discovered something and was waiting for her to confess. The eight big words "leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist" appeared in her mind.

After a mental struggle, she chose to speak out: "My wife's ring was scratched in Lincheng when she was in danger..."

Zhao Shunian was simply distracted. When he heard Yu Meimei's words, he immediately came to his senses and asked, "What danger?"

Yu Meimei thought to herself that her husband really wanted to know about this. She quickly organized her words, "My wife and her partner Xiang Yue went on a business trip to Lincheng and met their college classmate Tong Mai. Tong Mai had been in prison and was facing huge debts, and she had some psychological problems. She thought Xiang Yue was insulting her, and she hated him and wanted to kill him. My wife and Xiang Yue were almost always together, and she wanted to kill my wife because she had an old grudge against her..."

Yu Meimei told him what she knew. She had flown to Lincheng to help deal with the matter. His wife had asked her not to tell him, saying she had wanted to keep it a secret, but now it seemed she couldn't.

She didn't tell Zhao Shunian a single word about Xiaowen's affairs, and tried hard to keep it secret.

Zhao Shunian's heart sank. He asked Yu Meimei for Xiang Yue's phone number and hung up.

He learned from Xiang Yue that Yu Yin had originally not planned to go on a business trip with her, but for some reason suddenly decided to go. He asked Xiang Yue not to tell Yu Yin that he had contacted her, and that he would tell Yu Yin in person.

When Zhao Shunian recalled that period, it was exactly when he wanted to break the status quo and take his relationship with Yu Yin to the next level.

He almost killed Yu Yin. If she hadn't been trying to escape him, she wouldn't have gone on the business trip and wouldn't have been in danger.

His thoughts, which had been confused for many days, finally became clear and calm at this moment. Zhao Shunian remembered how much his grandfather regretted not cherishing the time he spent with his grandmother and not learning the mutual compromise between husband and wife.

Zhao Shunian didn't want to follow in Zhao Xinzhi's footsteps and fall into such regret in the future. More than anything else, he didn't want to lose Yu Yin. He was so obsessed with every gain and loss with her because he cared about her.

The one who got her also wanted her heart. Humans are always greedy and their desires are insatiable. Zhao Shunian thought that this step-by-step approach had made him make a mistake and almost put the cart before the horse.

………

At night, Yu Yin lay in bed, opening Sister Hong's chat box countless times, worried that her phone might be delayed in receiving messages, as Apple phones sometimes do. She called Sister Hong and told her to tell her if her husband came back.

Yu Yin thought a lot today and finally figured out why Zhao Shunian was so angry. Zhao Shunian hoped that she would value him more and give him a higher status.

But she didn't consider his feelings in this matter. For example, when choosing a gift, she couldn't think of what he lacked and felt that he lacked nothing. She put much more thought into choosing gifts for others than for him.

She had given him gifts before, but none of them could compare to the watch she gave him on this special occasion, because she had chosen it with care. What he wanted was always her thoughtfulness.

Many people took great pains to prepare gifts for Zhao Shunian, hoping that he would be satisfied, but giving the gift was not the key. The key was who gave it and who chose it personally.

Yu Yin was waiting for Zhao Shunian to come back, wanting him to see the gifts in the guest room where he slept.

She gave him a way out and took the initiative to break the ice, hoping that he could understand what she meant and they could talk it out.

If they couldn't talk it out, and he was stubborn and didn't cherish the last chance she gave him, then there was no point for them to be together anymore, because it would be torture and pain for both of them.

By ten o'clock, Yu Yin still hadn't received a message from Sister Hong, and she was already feeling sleepy. She decided to set an alarm for eleven-thirty, when he should be home. Could he be on a business trip? Last year, he'd also spent his birthday on a business trip.

There was a lot of work to do at the end of the year, and Zhao Shunian was busy until very late before finishing today's work. He had a heavy burden on his shoulders, and because of the delay some time ago, he could no longer leave it alone.

Normally, he would have rested in the group, but he wanted to reconcile with Yu Yin as soon as possible. He returned home at around eleven o'clock and planned to apologize to Yu Yin early the next morning because he felt that Yu Yin should be asleep at this time and he didn't want to disturb her rest.

Before entering the main building, Zhao Shunian looked upstairs and found that the bedroom light was on and Yu Yin was still awake.

He stopped and was silent for a moment, then took out his cell phone to call Yu Yin, but the call didn't go through. He was sure that she had blocked him.

Zhao Shunian tried to send a message to Yu Yin, and a white exclamation mark appeared in a red circle.

He called from a work phone.

Yu Yin was getting more awake the more she slept. She wasn't asleep. She saw a strange number calling her, but she decided not to answer it. She didn't answer strange calls on her private number.
