Chapter 113 Recording Threat
Chen Zhu couldn't sleep all night and was upset because the matter of Xu Xinyi's detention was still unresolved. She was anxiously waiting for the court's final decision.
In the social circle, the scandal about Xu Xinyi was widely spread. Chen Zhu's friends who usually called themselves "close friends" called to inquire about the truth. What's more, some took the opportunity to ridicule her for not being able to deal with a mere Ye Wanqing.
While Chen Zhu was worried about her daughter, she was also filled with anger, which caused her to stay awake all night. Even Xu Lixue was affected and tossed and turned until dawn.
At dawn, before the night had completely faded from the horizon, Chen Zhu had already stood up and was tidying her clothes quietly.
Xu Lixue was awakened by the slight noise and asked gloomily, "Are you going out so early?"
"Xinyi is still in there, how can I not be anxious? You are sleeping soundly, think of a solution quickly!" Chen Zhu's voice was full of anxiety and dissatisfaction.
Xu Lixue was irritable due to lack of sleep: "This is her own problem. She should deal with it herself."
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Zhu's tears burst out instantly. She wiped her tears and accused Xu Lixue of being cold-blooded and ruthless.
The early morning at the Xu family villa began with a quarrel.
Xu Shao returned home last night and saw his mother crying. He couldn't help but look at his father with a questioning look in his eyes.
Xu Lixue gave Xu Shao a subtle look, and Xu Shao had no choice but to step forward to comfort Chen Zhu: "Mom, don't be sad. Regarding Xinyi's matter, we still have to start with Ye Wanqing. I'll go talk to her now."
Chen Zhu calmed down a bit after hearing what Xu Shao said: "I went there last night, but she was adamant and refused to give in."
Xu Shao, however, seemed confident: "Don't worry, Mom, I have the leverage over Ye Wanqing."
Chen Zhu took the handkerchief Xu Shao handed her and wiped away her tears: "What handle?"
Xu Shao smiled slightly: "This will be kept secret for the time being, but don't worry, although Ye Wanqing is difficult to deal with, there is always a way to deal with it."
"Don't you even trust me?" Chen Zhu looked a little hurt.
Xu Shao chuckled and said, "It's not that I don't trust you, I'm just afraid that you might accidentally let something slip."
Chen Zhu had no choice but to put aside her doubts for the time being: "Okay, I'll leave Xinyi's matter to you."
"Mom, don't worry. Have breakfast first. You've been crying all morning." Xu Shao comforted her.
Xu Lixue was already sitting at the dining table enjoying breakfast. Although Chen Zhu was very unhappy, she stopped crying and just muttered a few words in a low voice.
Compared with the turmoil in the Xu family, Ye Wanqing enjoyed the peaceful morning until she woke up naturally, and the sunlight had gently filled the room.
The temperature is still low today, but the sun is exceptionally bright.
Ye Wanqing dressed neatly, turned off the air conditioner in the room, slowly walked downstairs, and cooked a bowl of steaming millet porridge for herself.
Xu Xinyi's matter has been settled, and the concept of her new work has also taken shape. The next step is to immerse herself in the world of creation.
Ye Wanqing is not a prolific writer. She publishes at most two works a year, and sometimes only one masterpiece.
This year, her new book is titled "Shallow Fate, Deep Love", a masterpiece exploring urban emotions.
This was her first attempt at this type of subject matter, and the opening alone went through several revisions, and she still felt it was not perfect.
She frowned and was about to rewrite the opening when the doorbell suddenly rang.
The clock hands pointed to nine thirty.
Who would come to visit at this moment?
Ye Wanqing glanced at the wall clock, then picked up a soft knitted cardigan and draped it over her shoulders, then walked downstairs leisurely.
Although it was sunny today, the wind was cold and biting. As soon as she stepped out of the door, a biting cold wind hit her in the face.
Ye Wanqing unconsciously tightened her collar, wrapping her scarf more tightly around her neck. As she walked through the courtyard path and into the main gate, she saw Xu Shao standing outside.
Xu Xinyi's brother, she thought to herself, Xu Shao's purpose was self-evident.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and then she pressed the intercom button beside the door: "Mr. Xu, what can I do for you?"
Xu Shao was slightly displeased with Ye Wanqing's composure. His brows were furrowed, his expression was stern, and a hint of arrogance was revealed in his eyes. However, when his eyes met Ye Wanqing, he couldn't help but be slightly startled.
This was the first time he looked at Ye Wanqing so closely. She was not wearing any makeup, and she wore a lavender turtleneck shirt under a knitted cardigan. Her skin was as white as porcelain. The cold wind blew, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks, making her even more charming and lovely.
Xu Shao quickly retracted his thoughts and said coldly, "Miss Ye doesn't seem to be happy about my coming?"
Ye Wanqing glanced at him calmly, her tone calm and unperturbed: "Mr. Xu, why do you still ask when you already know the answer?"
Xu Shao was choked by her words, his face slightly embarrassed, but he still said with all his strength: "Since Miss Ye has guessed the purpose of my visit, and the weather is so cold, why don't you go inside and talk in detail?"
As he spoke, he stepped forward, but Ye Wanqing calmly stopped him outside the door: "Sorry, Mr. Xu, I don't think this is a good idea."
Xu Shao's expression darkened instantly. "So, Miss Ye doesn't intend to talk to me anymore? Isn't Miss Ye worried that your past with certain people will be made public?"
Ye Wanqing's eyes were like deep lake water, calm and unperturbed: "The past? What past?"
"Su Junyan, Miss Ye should be familiar with this name, right?" Xu Shao said confidently.
He stared at Ye Wanqing, trying to catch a trace of panic in her expression. However, Ye Wanqing's face remained as calm as before.
"What do you mean, Mr. Xu?" She didn't seem to understand, frowned slightly, and looked at Xu Shao in confusion.
Xu Shao suddenly felt a little uncertain, but he remained calm. He took out a mobile phone from his pocket and played a recording.
"Sister Wanqing, are you really determined to do this? He is not my brother!"
"I know, but I need his help to get through this. I'm feeling so bad!"
"But he's not...why are you with him?"
"He is, they're so alike, don't you think?"
"I don't think so. Please, Sister Wanqing! Cheer up, okay?"
Although the recording is not long, it reveals Ye Wanqing's past helplessness and struggle, which is completely different from her current self.
Although the content of the recording is vague, people who know the relationship between Ye Wanqing and Lin Xuan can guess the hidden story at once.
Xu Shao put away his phone, a cold smile appeared on his lips: "This is just part of it, Miss Ye."
Ye Wanqing stared at him with a firm look in her eyes: "So, Mr. Xu means that you plan to hand these over to Lin Xuan?"
She smiled lightly, as if she didn't care: "Mr. Xu, do you think I will be scared by this?"
