Chapter 449 I'm Humble Enough
Ye Chen sent a message to Xiao Nuan, simple and direct,
"Sister-in-law, I know about your divorce. I asked Yu Ting why he divorced, but he wouldn't tell me.
Sister-in-law, I know you must be feeling bad, and I'm not very good at persuading people, but I always feel that Yu Ting must have his reasons for asking for a divorce."
When Xiao Nuan saw this message, she sighed and thought to herself, he is indeed a good brother, he really knows how to make excuses for him.
"Hardship? The white moonlight hidden in his heart has returned. This is what they call hardship, right?"
Ye Chen was surprised. "White Moonlight? What White Moonlight? He told you that his White Moonlight is back? Who is his White Moonlight?"
Xiao Nuan asked, "You and he are such good brothers. You should know that he has a portrait of a girl in his collection? You should know that he often stares at that portrait, right?"
Ye Chen heard the portrait fall silent.
In recent years, Mu Yuting often stared at a portrait of a girl. He and Mu Yuan had seen it many times, but as for who that girl was, Mu Yuting never said.
He also teased Mu Yuting, asking if this was his white moonlight. Mu Yuting did not deny it, but he never told Ye Chen who the girl in the portrait was.
But what is certain is that Mu Yuting treasures that portrait very much.
Ye Chen was unable to answer for a moment and could only avoid the question of the portrait. He comforted her, "Sister-in-law, I still think there must be a misunderstanding. Can you tell me the whole story?"
Seeing that Ye Chen didn't pick up the topic of the portrait, Xiao Nuan knew that Ye Chen also knew how important the girl in the portrait was to Mu Yuting.
Since they are divorced anyway, she doesn't want to dwell on it anymore.
Besides, after a good night's sleep, she finally felt a little better. She didn't want to struggle in this vortex anymore, so she said,
"Ye Chen, if you really care about me and still consider me a friend, then don't mention this matter anymore."
Ye Chen thought to himself: Mu Yuting is that stubborn guy and won't tell you what happened. He wanted to hear the whole story from Xiao Nuan, but this sister-in-law is even more stubborn than Mu Yuting and doesn't want to talk about it.
Each one is more stubborn than the other.
Even God wouldn't believe you two aren't a couple.
Ye Chen said without giving up, "Sister-in-law, I still think there is a misunderstanding. I'll make an appointment for you to sit down and talk it over, okay?"
Xiao Nuan was a little anxious and sent a voice message with some excitement.
"Mu Yuting said it himself, how could there be any misunderstanding? I gave him a chance to explain. I even humbly asked him if he had ever loved me at some point. What happened? Ye Chen, I'm already humble enough. He's the revered and unattainable Mu Shao. I'm just an ordinary girl, but I'm also a human being, and I have dignity. What's there to talk about? How can I talk about it? Do you want me to hold his legs and beg him to stay?"
This was the first time Ye Chen saw Xiao Nuan so excited. Hearing Xiao Nuan say these words in a hoarse voice, he felt very uncomfortable and realized how deeply Mu Yuting had hurt his sister-in-law.
"I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I underestimated how much this incident hurt you."
Xiao Nuan regretted what she said. Ye Chen meant well, and she shouldn't have spoken to him like that.
She took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and sent another voice message.
"Ye Chen, I was a little impulsive just now. I'm sorry. I know you are doing this for our own good, but what's done is done. Don't mention it again."
Ye Chen didn't mind at all, "Sister-in-law, the fact that you can say those things to me shows that you don't treat me as an outsider."
The two chatted for a few more sentences, and finally Xiao Nuan said,
"Ye Chen, don't call me sister-in-law from now on. Just call me by my name. You and Ke Xin need to be well. Don't let our affairs affect you."
Even at this time, the sister-in-law was still thinking about him and Ke Xin. Ye Chen was not wrong. The sister-in-law's character was absolutely impeccable.
Through this conversation with Xiao Nuan, Ye Chen could tell that although his sister-in-law said that it was over, she loved Mu Yuting in her heart.
It’s just that I was deeply hurt by Mu Yuting and don’t want to talk about it again.
When Ye Chen thought of Mu Yuting, he became furious.
You ungrateful guy, is this how you do things?
After Ye Chen finished the work at hand, he began to investigate Mu Yuting's matter.
This was the first time he investigated Mu Yuting secretly.
Check the call records first. Apart from basic calls, the only suspicious call was from Fang Ruolin.
Ye Chen was very familiar with Fang Ruolin.
Back then, Ruolin's father Fang Jianguo was Mu Xiangan's driver.
When Fang Jianguo worked as a driver for the Mu family, Fang Ruolin lived with her mother in a rural area on the outskirts of Jiangcheng.
At that time, Fang Ruolin and Mu Yuting had no connection at all.
Fang Jianguo is a very family-oriented person and goes home to see his wife and children every weekend.
It was a weekend near the Spring Festival. Fang Jianguo was supposed to be resting that day and was preparing to go home as usual.
At that time, the Mu Group had been looking for ways to cooperate with a foreign company to open up the overseas market.
It just so happened that on that day, Mu Xiangan suddenly learned that a senior executive of the foreign company was coming to China for a tour and his flight was at noon that day.
He discussed with Fang Jianguo whether he could take a day off so that he could take him to the airport today and then go home to see the children tomorrow.
Mu Xiangan usually took good care of Fang Jianguo, so he agreed without saying a word.
Mu Yuting's mother also went with him at that time. She was fluent in English and could serve as a translator for Mu Xiangan.
However, none of the three returned. On the way to the airport, they had a serious car accident.
While Mu Yuting's grandparents were grieving, they also did not forget to compensate the Fang family with a large sum of money.
But no one expected that Fang Jianguo's wife took the money and ran away with another man, leaving Fang Ruolin, who was only six years old at the time, alone at home.
Logically speaking, the Mu family could have stopped asking questions after the money was paid, but Old Madam Mu was kind-hearted and worried that something might happen to the little girl, so she couldn't bear to ignore it.
Besides, if Mu Xiangan hadn't asked Fang Jianguo to take a leave of absence, he wouldn't have died, and Fang Ruolin wouldn't have been without a father.
So the Mu family sent Fang Ruolin to an aristocratic boarding school and covered all the expenses.
Later, Mu Yuting took over the Mu Group from his grandfather. He also took over Fang Ruolin's business and continued to support her until she graduated and went abroad to study.
It was during that time that Fang Ruolin had the opportunity to come into contact with Mu Yuting.
She envied the Mu family's luxurious life and confessed her feelings to Mu Yuting many times, but Mu Yuting was straightforward and decisive in rejecting her without giving her any face.
Seeing no hope, she stayed abroad to work.
She would just come back to see Mu Yuting from time to time, but Mu Yuting would never see her.
Fang Ruolin knew that Mu Yuting was a ruthless man, so she didn't dare to provoke him too much. She just came here tentatively to make herself familiar with him. What if one day, Mu Yuting came to his senses and married her, right?
You still have to have dreams, what if they come true?
But for Mu Yuting, providing for her was the advice of his grandparents, a way to make up for his father's guilt, and also because he felt sorry for her because they both lost their loved ones at the same time.
She wanted to marry into the Mu family, but it was impossible. Not to mention Mu Yuting, even her grandmother would not agree.
Madam Mu is very good at judging people. Although Fang Ruolin is pitiful, she has a complicated nature.
Otherwise, grandma would have left her in the Mu family and adopted her long ago.
