As for her, Ye Wenyu thought with shame, because she had always lived happily with Lin Tingfeng and didn't want Cai Wenchuan to appear so frequently like a headmaster, she was actually quite happy about Cai Wenchuan cutting off all contact with her. He didn't contact her again because he was disappointed and angry, and she, because she was annoyed by his strict discipline, never took the initiative to contact him either.

Now, with Lin Tingyue's malicious help, she finally knows Lin Tingfeng's true colors. She realizes that when she was with Lin Tingfeng, Cai Wenchuan and Jiang Zhiming came to persuade her one after another. It turns out that they really had no selfish motives. They were wholeheartedly thinking of her!

Only now has she come to understand this principle.

Ye Wenyu's face flushed red with shame and a sense of foolishness. She must have been blind to have lived so many years in such a muddle.

As Ye Wenyu was lost in thought, Cai Wenchuan's warm voice came through: "Xiaoyu? Can you hear me? Where are you?"

Hearing his voice, Ye Wenyu felt a pang of guilt. She had treated someone who meant her no harm and genuinely cared for her with such indifference for so long in the past. It was truly wrong of her. Therefore, Ye Wenyu composed herself and said to Cai Wenchuan with remorse, "Yes, it's me."

"Have you broken up with Lin Tingfeng? He could very well be the murderer of your mother. You need to leave him quickly; it's dangerous around him!" Cai Wenchuan's voice was full of worry. "Has he been bullying you? I heard the Lin family is currently fighting over the inheritance; he must be under a lot of pressure. He already has a twisted personality. Where are you now? I need to come find you right away, or I really can't take it anymore." It turned out that Cai Wenchuan had also heard about the Lin family's inheritance dispute.

Ye Wenyu's eyes reddened, and her nose felt sore for a long time. She looked at the night, which was like a blind well, and the cold wind blew on her face like cold water. She was overwhelmed with thoughts. When Cai Wenchuan asked her with concern, she didn't know how to answer. So, she thought for a moment and said, "Wenchuan, I have moved out of the house that Lin Tingfeng bought for me. I broke up with him."

"Very good, very good. Where are you? I'll come pick you up."

"No, no, I'll figure it out myself. Don't meet with me, I'm afraid it will put you in danger."

Ye Wenyu thought of her mother, and then of Cai Wenchuan.

“Xiaoyu, raise your head—” It was Cai Wenchuan’s voice, which rang out from very close by.

Ye Wenyu looked up in shock and saw Cai Wenchuan standing not far from her, holding his phone. She was utterly astonished and stared blankly at Cai Wenchuan.

Cai Wenchuan walked up to her and said gently, "Your mother is no longer in this world. I am your only family. How could I possibly ignore you? I have a place to stay. Come with me." He picked up her suitcase and prepared to walk forward.

Ye Wenyu did not follow, but stood on the ground as if rooted to the spot, not moving an inch.

Seeing that she didn't follow, Cai Wenchuan had no choice but to turn around and walk back to her side.

Thinking of him, Ye Wenyu shook her head and said, "I can't go with you. I'm afraid it will bring you danger."

These words irritated Cai Wenchuan's pride as a man. He recalled the grievances and hurts he had suffered as the son of a butler since childhood. He straightened his face and said to Ye Wenyu, "Do you think I'm afraid of him? In broad daylight, can he eat me? People are born equal. What master or servant? I've hated him since I was a child. I don't believe that he can kill me if I take care of you."

Ye Wenyu opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound. Lin Tingfeng was terrifying, but Cai Wenchuan, who was furious at this moment, also seemed very unfamiliar.

Cai Wenchuan said to her almost in a commanding tone, "You must come with me, otherwise I will be letting down your deceased mother!" Without waiting for a reply, he picked up her suitcase and put it in the trunk of his car.

Left with no other choice, Ye Wenyu got into Cai Wenchuan's car, while Cai Wenchuan took the driver's seat and drove away.

Looking out the car window at the night sky, which was as dark as ink, Ye Wenyu thought to herself, "I hope it's all just my overthinking."

Because her mind was in turmoil regarding her mother's death, Ye Wenyu decided to remain silent for the time being.

Cai Wenchuan seemed to know more than she had imagined.

She was worried that Cai Wenchuan would ask something, but fortunately he was very considerate and politely didn't ask anything.

The music flowed like water, filling the car. Ye Wenyu felt her blood begin to flow again, and her fear gradually subsided. She was grateful to Cai Wenchuan for his help in her time of need. She would forever remember this moment.

As Cai Wenchuan drove, he said gently to Ye Wenyu, "A classmate of mine has gone to Germany for further studies, and his dormitory is empty. You can stay there for the next few days. It's very close to where I live. Once I find a suitable place, you can move in there."

"Thank you, thank you." Ye Wenyu expressed her deep gratitude, thinking how much she had wronged Brother Wen in the past. Perhaps in this world, after her mother passed away, Brother Wen was the only person who still cared about her!

Next, Cai Wenchuan arranged for Ye Wenyu to stay in his colleague's dormitory. That night, Lin Tingfeng returned home late and found Ye Wenyu missing, with many of her clothes and belongings gone. Lin Tingfeng knew something serious had happened!

A heart, like a small pebble, is rapidly sinking into the abyss.

This is the second time she has left his side!

He paced anxiously around the room, as if the house might catch fire at any moment. His face darkened, and he seemed frantic. He called Ye Wenyu, but she didn't answer; he sent her WeChat messages, but she didn't reply. He felt like a drop of water disappearing into the ocean, like a grain of sand vanishing into the desert.

Lin Tingfeng felt like he was going crazy. Based on his understanding of Ye Wenyu, she had always been a sensible child, so for her to act like this, something serious must have happened!

Could it be that she already knows that terrible truth?

Thinking of this, Lin Tingfeng felt dizzy and dared not think any further.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Wenyu's text message finally arrived after countless phone calls from him. It was just a few words: "We're breaking up." She still didn't tell him that she had discovered he was the murderer of her mother, because she still needed to investigate. She didn't have the courage to confront Lin Tingfeng right now.

Therefore, when Lin Tingfeng sent her a message asking for a reason to break up, Ye Wenyu turned off her phone.

That night, she couldn't sleep a wink. She tossed and turned like a pancake, unable to fall asleep until the first light of dawn appeared in the east, when she finally drifted off to sleep.
