Mingdai lay back in bed but couldn't fall asleep.
She tossed and turned, not thinking about anything; she was probably already awake.
She picked up her phone and looked at it for a while until sleepiness returned.
She was in a daze all night, and before dawn, Mingdai woke up inexplicably again.
And she had that intoxicating dream again.
Mingdai sat up and stared blankly at the opposite wall from the darkness.
As the first rays of morning light pierced through the curtains, Mingdai finally got out of bed and went to the balcony.
In the quiet of the morning, the birds had not yet begun to move.
There's no wind right now, the air is very fresh, and the temperature is just right.
Mingdai leaned on the railing with both hands, gazing into the distance.
Before long, the servants began to get busy, and the butler was also seen moving around the villa.
More sounds came from downstairs.
The sun finally rose above the horizon.
The golden light that illuminated the earth made Mingdai slowly squint her eyes.
She stood in the light, looking lost and confused, her thoughts unreadable.
It took her a while to go back to her room to wash up.
When I went downstairs for breakfast, I didn't see He Yaonian, nor did I see He Xingjian or He Xingqiong.
The rest of the He family members all looked solemn.
Mingdai asked He Xingye and learned that the second master of the Ming family had been shot and was in a life-or-death situation.
He Xingye was very depressed.
“If it weren’t for my third uncle forcing us to stay behind, we definitely would have gone with him.”
He Xingye's cold hand gripped Mingdai's hand tightly, needing Mingdai's comfort.
"My dad should be fine. He's so capable, he'll definitely be alright."
Second Master is the father of all the young masters and ladies at the breakfast table now.
The bloodline of the He family in this generation is basically all thanks to the second master.
I heard that Second Master and He Yaonian are the closest of friends.
If something happens to Second Master...
Mingdai didn't even dare to imagine what would become of this family.
Mingdai could only squeeze He Xingye's hand tightly, "Second Master is a lucky man, he will be alright."
Nevertheless, the atmosphere at the He family home remained incredibly heavy.
Mingdai couldn't help at all.
At the same time.
At the hospital.
Mo Yumei heard from He Yaoyuan that He Erye had an accident.
She was in a very good mood.
Of course, she didn't dare say it to He Yaoyuan's face, but she could share her happiness with Mo Qingying.
“If the second son of the He family doesn’t make it through this time, then no one will stop you and your brother from returning to your ancestral home.”
Since Second Master He and He Yaonian are on the same team, and Mo Yumei wants her son to take over the entire He family, the fewer opponents the better.
"You can't let your dad hear this. He might think the same way we do, but he can't save face."
Mo Yumei hummed a little tune happily and then told Mo Qingying.
"With He Lao Er dead, the young masters and ladies of the He family will have no one to back them up. Don't be fooled by your third uncle's seemingly selfless appearance. Once he has his own children, he definitely won't side with others anymore."
When talking about He Yaonian's children, Mo Yumei couldn't help but think of Mingdai.
However, given Mingdai's physical condition, she could not fulfill He Yaonian's wish to have a son to carry on the family line.
If a woman can't have children, she's basically useless.
No matter how much He Yaonian liked Mingdai, he could only keep her as a little toy.
"Oh, by the way, have you met your third uncle's fiancée?"
Mo Qingying felt uncomfortable when she heard her mother cursing someone who was still alive to die.
But the thought that this person's death would benefit her and her brother immediately made her feel nothing.
"How could I possibly have seen it?"
Mo Qingying didn't know why her mother would ask about He Yaonian's fiancée.
"I heard the wedding was canceled a long time ago?"
Mo Yumei scoffed.
“You can’t renew it after you cancel it. I heard from your dad that the young lady is only a few years old, her family is very wealthy, and she’s very beautiful, but she’s a bit spoiled.”
Mo Qingying listened silently, "Well, what do you mean?"
Mo Yumei was dissatisfied and reached out to poke her stubborn daughter.
"Of course, it's so you can have time to build a good relationship with her. After all, she's your third aunt. If you become best friends with her sooner, our lives will be much easier after she marries into the family."
Mo Qingying's head hurt from being poked by her mother.
She was a little irritated.
"You said it yourself, that person is very difficult and unreasonable. I can't get along with difficult and unreasonable people."
Mo Qingying suffered a significant blow from the fake jewelry incident, and now she has lost interest in the wealthy and powerful families of high society.
They only think about how they can show off their power when they are of high status and completely equal to others.
"It's good that she's willful; it means she's not petty or that smart. I guess she's just pretty enough, and who knows, maybe she's just a pretty face."
Mo Yumei had no way to take the initiative to approach Fang Li.
"Qingying, look, we don't know when your brother will regain his memory. Right now, the company is facing a lot of problems. If this continues, he will eventually break down."
Mo Qingying was tormented by company affairs, and in this situation, she couldn't tell the company's senior management about her brother's amnesia.
"What can I do if I can't hold out? Do you think my third uncle's fiancée can step in and help?"
Mo Qingying never believed that such a good thing existed in the world.
"What I mean is that you should get to know her as soon as possible. She's a good catch. If you two get along well, why would you worry about her not helping you?"
Mo Yumei advised her daughter.
"This is all for our future. Think about it, if we can win her over, why would we be afraid that your third uncle will make things difficult for us again?"
Mo Qingying frowned.
"There must be conditions for getting to know her. Create some conditions for me and I'll try to get to know her."
Mo Yumei was delighted when she heard this.
“That’s easy. Your dad is going to an event tonight, you can go with him.”
In the afternoon, Mingdai received an invitation.
She didn't know the woman, but she knew she belonged to He Yaonian's social circle.
The wife had invited her several times before, but she had declined each time.
But it would be really impolite to push it away again.
Since she had nothing else to do that evening, Mingdai decided to go.
Mingdai arrived rather late, but the lady still greeted her very warmly.
There were many people at the scene, and Mingdai didn't know many of them.
She chatted briefly with her wife and learned that her wife wanted to get in touch with He Yaonian through her.
Mingdai used her usual social etiquette to play games with the madam for a while. The madam looked at Mingdai with newfound respect and knew that she couldn't eat right away. Just then, someone came to call the madam, and Mingdai also wanted to eat something.
It was at this moment that she noticed He Yaoyuan and Mo Qingying.
Mo Qingying also saw Ming Dai.
He Yaoyuan went straight for Ming Dai.
Mingdai was quite surprised.
With Master He's life hanging by a thread, why didn't He Yaoyuan, as the eldest brother, go with He Yaonian and the others?
They actually had the mood to participate in this kind of recreational activity.
