Mingdai was not unafraid of Mo Tingchuan's threats.
But what good is being afraid?
From the day she decided to divorce, her conflict with Mo Tingchuan was destined to be bloody and violent.
Time flew by, and it was now the day of the Liu Mei Jewelry Exhibition.
As it was almost time to leave work, Mingdai became restless.
I haven't been able to see He Yaonian for the past two days.
She knew she was wrong, but He Yaonian's behavior, which went beyond the rules, really frightened her.
"Dai Dai, go home tonight."
A few minutes before leaving get off work, Ming's father came to find Ming Dai and asked her to go home for dinner together that night.
Mingdai finished packing her things.
"Dad, I have something to do tonight."
"What's up?"
Ming's father asked curiously, "Tingchuan called the other day to ask about you. What's wrong? Did you two have another fight?"
"No."
Mingdai denied it very quickly.
She shook her head. "There's no need for so many arguments."
Ming's father seemed to be deep in thought. "Then how come he didn't know you worked at our company?"
Mingdai remained unfazed.
"He was worried that my body couldn't handle it, so I didn't tell him."
Ming's father had no objection to this reason.
"How about tomorrow night? Your mom said she hasn't seen you much lately and misses you."
Mingdai thought for a moment, "Tomorrow night should be fine."
Ming's father probed again, "What about Tingchuan? Does he have time?"
Mingdai didn't want her father to worry.
"I'll have to ask him about that. He's away on a business trip lately, he's been quite busy."
"No matter how busy you are, you can always find time to go home, right? He hasn't been to our house in a long time."
Mingdai nodded patiently, "I'll talk to him when I get back and make him reflect on his actions."
Ming's father laughed, "You don't need to tell me, I'll talk to him about it later."
Mingdai didn't object, knowing that Mo Tingchuan still wanted to be his good son-in-law, so naturally she wouldn't contradict her father.
After getting off work, Mingdai called Lin Yang.
"how's it going?"
Lin Yang chuckled, confident, "Everything is under control."
Mingdai hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "What did Mr. He say?"
"He's been very concerned about this and has given me a lot of support. Don't worry, it's a sure thing tonight. Liu Mei and her gang won't get away."
Lin Yang then asked, "How did you get here? Do you want me to pick you up?"
Mingdai chuckled, "Wouldn't picking me up expose us? If Liu Mei knew we knew each other, she'd run away long ago."
Lin Yang laughed heartily, "That's true."
Mingdai thought for a moment, "I'll drive there, and then I'll just have to follow your lead."
"good."
Lin Yang said, "See you later."
There are still a few hours until the exhibition starts; it's too early to go now.
Mingdai simply returned to the villa.
The young masters and ladies had just arrived home, in groups of three or five.
Mingdai looked around in the crowd, but couldn't find He Yaonian anywhere.
Seeing this, He Xingqiong, who had changed into comfortable home clothes, gently pushed the railing of the third-floor lobby where Mingdai was peeking down.
"What are you looking at?"
Mingdai was startled.
He quickly pulled his neck back.
"nothing."
Her expression was somewhat unnatural, and she nervously brushed her hair aside.
He Xingqiong also craned her neck to look down.
Her younger siblings chatted and joked on the sofa while waiting for dinner, creating the usual noisy atmosphere.
"Do you think they're too noisy?"
He Xingqiong thought that Mingdai didn't want to go downstairs because it was too noisy on the first floor.
Mingdai was stunned.
She lowered her head and coughed softly.
No denial.
He Xingqiong was quite helpless.
“I can’t control them. I’ve talked to them about it before, but they don’t listen, so I’ve given up on managing them.”
He Xingqiong was a little hungry.
"Let's go downstairs and find something to eat first."
Mingdai was about to refuse, but she wasn't hungry and wanted to go back to her room to choose what to wear that evening.
"Oh? Uncle is back."
He Xingqiong suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Mingdai's heart started pounding wildly. Almost the instant she looked up at the entrance on the first floor, He Yaonian, who had just entered, also looked up at her.
The two looked at each other from a distance.
Mingdai didn't know if He Yaonian still remembered that night when he was drunk and grabbed her hand. She also didn't know whether she wanted him to remember or hoped that he would forget it completely.
Humans are strange like that; even though they know something is impossible, they still inexplicably think about it.
"I don't know what my third uncle has been busy with these past few days; he hasn't come back here much."
Although He Xingqiong complained a little, she had a smile on her lips, clearly very happy to see He Yaonian.
She pulled Mingdai along, "Let's go downstairs."
Mingdai reluctantly followed He Xingqiong downstairs to He Yaonian.
After not seeing him for a few days, the young masters and ladies missed their third uncle very much. As soon as they saw him, they forgot their usual respect and eagerly rushed to He Yaonian.
The bolder ones, like He Xinglie, surrounded He Yaonian, asking a bunch of random questions, all of them expressions of concern.
He Yaonian replied with a few key points, his expression calm yet authoritative.
"Third Uncle."
He Xingqiong excitedly dragged Mingdai to He Yaonian's side.
"Why did Uncle San finally decide to come back today?"
Like a child throwing a tantrum.
In front of He Yaonian, He Xingqiong was just like a little girl.
Mingdai followed behind He Xingqiong and glanced at He Yaonian somewhat awkwardly.
He Yaonian glanced at He Xingqiong and said, "Bring a cup of coffee to my study."
As he spoke, he turned and went upstairs.
This scene seems familiar.
This time, however, it was He Xingqiong who delivered the coffee.
"Aren't you hungry? How about I do it?"
