Ji Hanchen returned to the villa and saw Xu Qingyun sitting on the sofa as soon as he opened the door.
The moment he saw her, he could hardly believe it. He strode over to her, asking, "Yunyun, what happened to you...?"
Before Ji Hanchen could utter the words "I'm here," Xu Qingyun stood up and gently threw herself into his arms, her slender arms loosely encircling his strong waist.
Ji Hanchen's body stiffened instantly.
This was the first time Yunyun had ever hugged him on her own initiative.
After the initial surprise, he immediately realized something was wrong, because Yunyun wasn't the type of girl who would act coquettishly.
"Yunyun, what happened?" Ji Hanchen asked worriedly, wanting to lift her face to see her expression.
Xu Qingyun pressed her face tightly against Ji Hanchen's chest and whispered, "Let me hold you for a while."
Ji Hanchen frowned, his expression serious.
What happened? Who made her so sad?
Ji Hanchen was worried, but he didn't ask any questions. He just let Xu Qingyun hug him and hugged her back tightly, so that her dependence would be met.
After a long while, Xu Qingyun said in a muffled voice, "My uncle mentioned tonight that I took it. My mother is not an illegitimate child, but the real Ye Jiaqian. Ye Xiao was switched at birth."
"Ye Xiao isn't a child of the Ye family?" Ji Hanchen was shocked. This was a secret of the wealthy family!
Xu Qingyun hummed in agreement. "But the Ye family doesn't acknowledge my mother. They didn't even recognize her until she died."
"Ji Hanchen, I feel heartbroken. I feel wronged and resentful for my mother."
Ji Hanchen pursed his thin lips, trying to recover from the shock he had just experienced.
Knowing that Ye Jianjia was the true daughter of the Ye family, he had already foreseen all of this.
If the Ye family had recognized Ye Jianjia, she wouldn't have ended up like this in the capital.
He just couldn't understand why, even if they didn't want the scandal to be exposed, the Ye family couldn't possibly disown their own daughter!
There must be something they don't know.
Unable to bear seeing his beloved girl so heartbroken, Ji Hanchen said with unwavering determination, "Since you're not reconciled, then go and take back everything that belongs to your mother!"
Xu Qingyun trembled slightly. "I never thought about taking anything back; I was just unwilling to accept it."
Moreover, she doesn't want to go back to the Ye family now; she only wants to know what happened to her mother after she left the Ye family, who she was with, and whose child her mother had. Was her mother's death an accident, or was someone murdering her?
Xu Qingyun's mind was in turmoil; she needed to figure everything out completely.
“I asked Ren Anjing, and she said that your mother’s death had nothing to do with her. She was about to mention someone, but she was interrupted before she could finish speaking. Leng Shuang went to the Ji family’s ancestral home.”
Xu Qingyun raised her face. "Ms. Ren is Leng Shuang's godmother, right?"
Ji Hanchen was taken aback. "You knew?"
"Um."
Xu Qingyun sat down on the sofa again.
Ji Hanchen followed her, gently taking her hand and placing it in his own palm.
Xu Qingyun thought for a moment and then concluded, "Leng Shuang's visit to the capital this time is probably for a marriage alliance."
Ji Hanchen narrowed his dark eyes. "You think so too?"
Xu Qingyun looked at him and said, "If it weren't for Ms. Ren's connection, I wouldn't think that way, but Leng Shuang's timing was too special."
Ji Hanchen's brow furrowed coldly. "No matter what her motives are, and no matter what her relationship with Ren Anjing is, I will never marry her! Ren Anjing has already interfered in my life, and she has no right to interfere in my marriage and relationships!"
Xu Qingyun believed him on this point.
She then turned the topic back to Ye Xiao, "There's something else. Ye Xiao seems to be extremely favored in the Ye family, even more so than my uncle Ye An, which is illogical."
Ji Hanchen thought for a moment, "I'll have Shen Luo investigate."
**
The Shen family.
On the large bed, Shen Luo pressed down on Xia Chu and kissed her wildly out of control.
Xia Chu kept dodging, and her cheeks even turned red from the fierce resistance.
"Shen Luo, don't make me feel disgusted!"
Shen Luo sneered, "You think I disgust you? Xia Chu, do you even deserve to say that?"
"What right do you have to call me disgusting? You're a scheming bitch who drugged me, climbed into my bed, and then faked a pregnancy to force me to marry her in order to climb the social ladder."
"Don't you always complain to Grandpa that I don't touch you? Come on, tonight I'll fuck you hard and make you feel really good!"
Shen Luo's words were very harsh and full of sarcasm.
Every word he said was like a sharp knife, stabbing into Xia Chu's heart again and again.
She had long known that Shen Luo was cold-hearted and heartless, yet she was still hurt time and time again.
This man isn't heartless; he's just simply cruel to her.
"Shen Luo, let's get a divorce and let each other go," Xia Chu said with difficulty.
Shen Luo was still furious. "Let each other go?! Xia Chu, do you think it's too late for me to let you go now? Let me tell you, it's too late!"
"You made me lose the woman I love most, so I'll torment you for the rest of your life and make you live in pain forever!"
Xia Chu's pupils dilated, and her face instantly turned ashen.
She gave a sad smile, then gave up resisting: "You're going to do it, aren't you? Hurry up and do it."
Shen Luo narrowed his eyes and saw Xia Chu's heartbroken state, letting him torment her. He felt a surge of anger instantly fill his chest!
He gripped Xia Chu's chin tightly, almost crushing her bones. "Scream! Scream for me! Just like you did back then!"
Xia Chu clenched her teeth, and tears of humiliation slowly welled up.
But she remained silent, no matter how intense Chen Luo's actions were, she was like a stagnant pool.
Damn it!
Shen Luo cursed, immediately released Xia Chu, and entered the bathroom naked.
