"So, who was the man who was with Ye Ningwan that night?"
This question caused Madam Pei to pause for an even longer period of time.
After a long while, she slowly shook her head and said to Ye Ningwan with great helplessness.
"I have no idea."
Ye Ningwan finally frowned.
She knew very well that Madam Pei had indeed been hypnotized by her, so when she said she didn't know, she must really not know.
Just as she was feeling helpless as this lead went cold again, Madam Pei suddenly spoke up.
"But I know that the man who spent the night with Ye Ningwan must have been one of the guests at the banquet that day. Because the hotel was booked out for a week for several very important guests, the guest who could get to that room could only have been one of the guests at the banquet that day, and it could not have been anyone else."
Ye Ningwan fell into deep thought upon hearing this.
Actually, what Madam Pei said was not accurate enough. In reality, it could not only be the guests who attended the banquet that day, but also the hotel staff.
However, in Madam Pei's heart, those staff members probably did not belong to the category of "men".
Ye Ningwan didn't argue with her, but instead snapped her fingers lightly.
Snap.
After a snap of her fingers, Madam Pei awoke as if from a dream.
She stared in astonishment at Ye Ningwan, who was looking at her with an inscrutable expression. Suddenly, her eyes widened in fear and tension, and she asked in a hoarse voice.
What did you do to me?
Ye Ningwan kindly told him the truth.
“I used hypnosis on you, and you clearly told me everything I wanted to know. I am very grateful for Madam Pei’s cooperation! At the same time, I also realized that you are this kind of person. I believe your son, Pei Minghan, will be very happy to see your true nature.”
As she spoke, Ye Ningwan took a button-shaped recorder off her person and winked at Madam Pei with a smile.
“Everything you just said to me has been recorded, Madam Pei. Thank you for finally clearing my name, even though it’s five years later.”
Upon hearing this, Madam Pei's expression turned extremely unpleasant.
She suddenly realized what Ye Ningwan had done, and she frantically lunged forward to snatch the button-shaped recorder from Ye Ningwan's hand.
"Give it back to me! Give it back to me, you bitch! You actually used such despicable and vile means to frame me, Ye Ningwan, I will never let you get away with this! Give me back my things!"
Ye Ningwan smiled and took two steps back, avoiding Madam Pei's lunge towards her.
Madam Pei stumbled and nearly fell to the ground. She barely managed to regain her balance, but her eyes were bloodshot and her gaze was almost popping out of her head.
Ye Ningwan looked calmly at Madam Pei and spoke slowly, word by word.
“Madam Pei, five years ago I had no choice but to do what I wanted, but five years later, some things are no longer up to you.”
Madam Pei finally realized what was happening, and released her grip in horror, her eyes filled with extreme fear.
"You...you knew all along?"
Ye Ningwan reminded her.
"You told me that yourself."
Madam Pei gritted her teeth, her tightly clenched hands desperately trying to suppress her trembling.
"Ye Ningwan, what exactly do you want to do? What happened back then is already done, and it's impossible to turn back now. You and Minghan are no longer together."
Madam Pei tried to downplay the matter and discuss it with Ye Ningwan.
"Wanwan, you're married to Fengzhi now, so we're family after all. What family member would hold a grudge overnight? Right? Besides, you've married well, and Fengzhi treats you well. If it weren't for what happened before, you wouldn't be living such a good life now..."
Ye Ningwan couldn't help but laugh.
"So, according to you, I should thank you?"
Madam Pei quickly replied.
"That's not what I meant at all."
"Isn't it good that both of our families are doing well now?"
Ye Ningwan sneered.
"You make a lot of sense."
After saying that, she turned to leave.
Just as she opened the door, Madam Pei stopped her instead.
"etc!"
Ye Ningwan glanced down at the hand gripping her arm.
"Is there anything else?"
Madam Pei swallowed hard, somewhat frightened by Ye Ningwan's gaze, and immediately released her hand, asking anxiously.
"Can you do something to save Minghan?"
Madam Pei recalled that Ye Ningwan had always been so confident that Han Qingting was a fake, which meant that Ye Ningwan might very well know the Immortal Physician.
The thought of this possibility rekindled a glimmer of hope in Madam Pei's heart.
Perhaps, Minghan can still be saved...
Perhaps, he doesn't need to become one...
With this hope, Madam Pei couldn't help but get excited.
"Wanwan, you and Minghan have had a relationship for so many years. You actually like him, right? It was all my fault back then. It had nothing to do with Minghan. He didn't know anything. He still loves you. He never wanted to let you down. You're just a misunderstanding."
Just a misunderstanding...?
Ye Ningwan smiled.
It turns out that in these people's eyes, those painful years back then were nothing more than a light and casual remark.
That's absolutely ridiculous.
She stared into Madam Pei's hopeful eyes and told her, word by word, with a smile.
