Mingdai subconsciously touched her stinging cheek with the back of her finger.
"It's nothing, I just accidentally brushed against it."
Although she was talking, Mingdai had already stopped and was no longer going up.
He Yaonian's gaze was deep and unwavering, as if he could see right through her lies.
Are you happy living like this?
What?
Mingdai was completely baffled by the question.
At that moment, Mo Tingchuan's footsteps slowly approached.
He Yaonian turned and left.
Mo Tingchuan didn't see him.
Who were you just talking to?
Mo Tingchuan was suspicious and paranoid.
"Air."
Mingdai rushed back to her room, not taking He Yaonian's words to heart.
She heard Mo Qingying knock on the door a moment later, and Mo Tingchuan, who was in the small living room, went to open it.
The brother and sister chattered on and on, with Mo Qingying loudly criticizing Mingdai.
"Mom was really upset by her today, so we have to make her apologize to Mom no matter what."
"Don't you know our current situation? It's better to avoid trouble. Besides, I've already taught her a lesson."
"How did you discipline him?"
Mingdai couldn't hear what was said after that, so she took her clothes and went into the bathroom.
Although the He family did not like Mo Yumei and her son, they arranged all the necessary conditions for them, such as a whole season's worth of designer clothes in the walk-in closet, including coats, skirts, suits, ties, pajamas, shoes, socks, and other daily necessities.
As expected of a wealthy family, they don't concern themselves with trivial matters.
Mingdai left home very early the next day.
I went to see a lawyer first.
“Ms. Ming, to be honest, this lawsuit will be difficult, especially since the man is clearly trying to stall you. I suggest you hold back for now and wait for an opportunity to gather more evidence.”
Having passed the moment of utmost impulsiveness, Mingdai knew she had to strike decisively and not give Mo Tingchuan any chance to react.
After receiving the video yesterday, she watched it repeatedly and confirmed that it was indeed her in the video. Mo Tingchuan was not afraid of her authentication, and it was precisely because it was genuine that she dared not act rashly.
At the same time.
The office of the chairman of the He Group.
“If she had really given me a son or daughter, I wouldn’t have needed to go to such lengths to bring your Aunt Mo and the others back.”
After the morning meeting, He Yaoyuan began asking for various benefits for Mo Tingchuan and Mo Qingying.
He Yaonian ignored the situation and continued with his official duties.
“I know you have a lot of resentment towards me for threatening you with that video, but that was a choice Mingdai made for Tingchuan’s sake. She loves Tingchuan to the point of madness. Otherwise, why would she have married Tingchuan, who was about to go bankrupt, without hesitation three years ago!”
He Yaoyuan spoke with righteous indignation.
"Yao Nian, if Ming Dai really decides to release the video regardless of the consequences, have you thought about the consequences?"
He Yaonian stopped signing.
"She doesn't dare."
"If she dares to climb into your bed, what else wouldn't she dare to do?"
"Letting your mistress bring her illegitimate child into my He family is my final act of leniency towards Mingdai's ulterior motives. I advise her to stop being greedy and delusional."
He Yaonian pointed his pen at his elder brother, a storm brewing in his deep, dark eyes.
"And you, the reason my sister-in-law can't have children is because your affair caused her to miscarry. She suffered a major hemorrhage that year, which damaged her health and made her unable to conceive again."
"Smack!"
The pen was thrown onto the solid wood table, creating a frighteningly tense atmosphere.
“He Yaoyuan, for the sake of the old man, I will grant you wealth and honor so you can enjoy life to the fullest. I advise you to take care of yourself.”
He Yaoyuan left the He Group building with a pounding heart.
He suddenly remembered that when He Yaonian returned to China as a young man, it was drizzling that day. His grandfather was critically ill, and he thought he was about to seize power.
Just as he was feeling anxious and excited, He Yaonian's slender and agile figure quickly came into his view.
The boy was breathtakingly handsome, and arrived before him with the chill of wind and rain, as powerful as thunder.
"Brother, it's been a long time."
From then on, the He family followed He Yaonian's lead. The young man had an outstanding leadership quality and was dazzling wherever he went. The old man placed all his expectations on this son born late in life, and the young man did not disappoint.
Even today, every member of the wealthy and powerful speaks highly of He Yaonian.
But that supreme glory should have belonged to him.
How could He Yaoyuan be willing to accept this?
Back at the manor.
He Yaoyuan then told Mo Yumei.
“These two have been intimate, and Yao Nian hasn’t had any other women all these years. You have to do everything you can to create opportunities. As long as Yao Nian falls for it, we don’t have to worry about him not going along with us.”
Mo Yumei was shocked upon hearing this.
"Mingdai actually took the initiative to climb into Tingchuan's bed back then. Did she really do that for Tingchuan's sake?"
"She loves Tingchuan very much, doesn't she?"
"That's true, but she doesn't seem like the type to make such a big sacrifice."
"You can know a person's face but not their heart. However, you can't mention this to Mingdai. You have to pretend you don't know anything. Anyway, as long as she loves Tingchuan, she is our sharpest weapon."
Mingdai returned to the manor in the evening after a busy day, carrying two suitcases filled with her usual belongings.
Mo Yumei, unusually, took the initiative to step forward and show concern.
"Why were you out for so long? The weather is so unpredictable, sometimes cold, sometimes hot. Is your cold getting better?"
Something unusual must be going on.
Mingdai remained unmoved.
"I feel much better, so I'll just go for a walk. It's nothing."
Of course, she wouldn't mention that she had gone to catch up with the wives of Mo Tingchuan's clients that day.
"If it's still not better, go to the hospital. I'll have Tingchuan go with you."
"Need not."
Mingdai moved her hands, indicating that she was still pulling two suitcases.
