“I planned this… You were my target, Ruan Yingzi was an accident… You’re quite lucky to be alive…”
"Don't worry... I won't kill you. Someone's paid a high price to take your life... Come here obediently..."
...
Ye Yuanzhe's voice rang out, tinged with smugness and a hint of malice. Ye Xunmei recognized it immediately; it was her eldest grandson who had just died. Her cloudy eyes instantly turned red.
The recording pen continued to play, along with Ye Susu's words, which mentioned drug addicts and drugging Ye Xunmei. The siblings' tone was equally frantic.
Ye Xunmei's face grew increasingly grim, and she sighed repeatedly.
Ye Qingqing turned off the recorder and asked coldly, "Did you hear that clearly? Ye Yuanzhe and Ye Susu had no good intentions at last night's dinner party. One wanted me dead, and the other wanted to capture me and sell me for money. Hmph... You two weren't in cahoots, were you?"
"No... I really didn't know... If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let you go to eat... Maybe I wouldn't have..."
Ye Xunmei was anxious to explain, and his voice gradually weakened. He didn't say the last sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.
If he hadn't suggested the dinner, perhaps Ye Yuanzhe and Ye Susu wouldn't have died.
But the hardest thing in the world is knowing in advance that time cannot be turned back.
Once someone is dead, they are dead and can never come back to life.
Lu Mo also said, "If you still don't believe me, you can ask the police. The police have found out that it was Ye Yuanzhe who bought the drug powder and syringes. He also arranged with the hotel staff in advance to leave after the food was served and only come up when the bell was rung, all so that he could harm Qingqing without anyone knowing."
Ye Qingqing sneered, "But they harmed others and ended up harming themselves. The current result is entirely their own fault."
Ye Xunmei sighed deeply, his face ashen, looking even older, completely devoid of his former dashing and spirited demeanor. Ye Qingqing was right, Ye Yuanzhe and Ye Susu did indeed bring this upon themselves, but he was still heartbroken!
He had six grandsons and two granddaughters, but now only four grandsons and one granddaughter remain.
His heart ached more than if three pieces of flesh had been cut off, but who could he blame for all of this?
Is it Ye Qingqing's fault?
No, she did nothing wrong; she was just protecting herself.
"It's my fault...it's all karma..."
Ye Xunmei remained silent for a long time before speaking these words, and everyone could hear the desolation and regret in her tone.
Ye Qingqing, however, showed no sympathy for him. If only he had known this would happen, he would have done it in the first place. Ye Xunmei had lived a carefree and frivolous life without any sense of responsibility or accountability. Now he was experiencing heart-wrenching pain, which was entirely his own fault, and he had no one to blame but himself.
"You... be careful, Tang Yufen won't let this go," Ye Xunmei warned.
Lu Mo said coldly, "Fenmei won't last more than a few days. Tang Yufen is too busy taking care of herself and will soon be sleeping under a bridge."
Ye Qingqing was not worried at all. The old hag was now beset by internal and external troubles. Her company had gone bankrupt, her face was in such a terrible state, and her children and grandchildren were not up to par. Even if she had three heads and six arms, she wouldn't have the energy to deal with her.
However, we should still be cautious.
Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo sat for a while before saying goodbye and leaving. Miao Tianxiang saw them to the front door and said with a smile, "There's a dance party at my house the day after tomorrow. Come and join us; you can make some new friends."
“Okay,” Ye Qingqing readily agreed.
Lu Mo needs to expand his network right now, and Miao Tianxiang's network is incredibly large. It would be great to have her help with introductions.
However, Ye Qingqing also noticed the strange atmosphere between Miao Tianxiang and Ye Xunmei. They used to show affection even when eating together, but now they were much more polite and distant, which was very abnormal.
