It was impossible for He Feng to let go of her hand. He had already made a mistake that could not be undone, so he would never give up halfway at this time.
He Feng was determined to get Ye Ning. Even when she was pressed under him and cried about the fact that she was pregnant, he did not think of stopping.
“Enough!” He Chen cut him off in despair, his intense grief almost drowning him in an instant.
He had never thought that Ye Ning would one day encounter such a thing because of him. It was all his fault for being useless at that time. If he had not put He Feng in an important position, nothing would have happened to Ye Ning!
“Master, it’s been so long since the incident. The evidence that should have been there is long gone. I can only find this because I found the driver who hit you back then. However, I still need time to continue investigating how Miss Ye died.”
The man who came to report the work broke out in cold sweat. When he heard about this, he immediately rushed to tell He Chen the news.
They used to follow the previous head of the He family, and now they were wholeheartedly following He Chen.
Back then, He Chen, who was still the young master, had been in a relationship with Ye Ning. He had more or less known about it, and he had long regarded Ye Ning as the future wife of the head of the family.
Now that he had suddenly heard of such an old matter, let alone He Chen, even he found it difficult to accept.
Such a beautiful and docile woman had actually been schemed against to such an extent. He Feng, this beast, did not deserve to live!
” Don’t let Miaomiao know about this yet. I’m worried that the child will do something stupid.” He Chen swallowed hard. The wound on his leg started to hurt again, but this pain was far less than the pain in his heart.
The man nodded obediently and carefully comforted He Chen before bowing and leaving the study.
Downstairs, He Miao was still learning how to trim the flowers with the butler when the phone on the table suddenly rang.
She couldn’t spare her hands for a moment, so she asked the butler to answer the phone for her.
Xu Meng’s unusually low voice came from the phone.” Miaomiao, I know something about your mother. Is it convenient for you to listen now? ”
He Miao’s hand that was holding the scissors suddenly paused, and the little bit of satisfaction on her face disappeared in an instant. She quickly put down her things and wiped her hands dry before taking the phone to a corner to answer the call.” You said you knew about my mother? What exactly is it?”
Xu Meng held the phone hesitantly and looked at her uncle, who was sitting next to her with a gloomy face. She coughed and said, “”If it’s convenient for you, wait for me at the cafe near the school where we often go. I’ll bring my uncle over.”
“Xu Zheng laoshi?” Although He Miao was surprised, she still agreed decisively.
The butler stood not far away and looked at her hesitantly. He held back what he wanted to say but still said,” Miss, no matter what you hear when you go out later, you must not be impulsive. You must come back and discuss with Master before taking any action.”
“What do you mean?” He Miao’s hand that was holding her coat paused slightly. She turned to look at the old butler with a serious expression.” Do you know something about my mother? Could it be that my mother had some enemies when she was alive? ”
The butler knew that he had revealed a lot of information just now, so he sighed deeply and said,”In short, no matter what you hear later, don’t act on your own. Otherwise, Master will worry about you.”
The ominous premonition in He Miao’s heart grew stronger and stronger, but she still nodded obediently and said,”I understand. I won’t act rashly. Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.”
After the driver sent He Miao to the agreed milk tea shop, he happened to see Xu Meng pacing at the door. She immediately got out of the car and walked over. Seeing that there was no one else beside her, she asked curiously,”Didn’t Xu Zheng laoshi come with you?”
” Miaomiao, my uncle is waiting for us inside. I came out specially to pick you up. You must control your emotions later. Don’t get agitated!” Xu Meng wanted to say something but hesitated to advise He Miao. It was exactly the same as what the butler had said before she left.
It seemed that they were hiding something from her, and it was a very bad thing about her mother.
In the cafe, Xu Zheng looked at the coffee in front of him with a serious expression. His thoughts drifted back to many years ago with the flowers on the coffee.
Back then, he was a silly kid who was addicted to making incense. Other than studying spices, he would stay in his room and read books every day. What he studied was also the secret recipe of ancient incense making.
Because of this, he was often jokingly called a bookworm who loved to play with perfume powder by his family.
At first, he was very concerned about how his peers addressed him, because he always felt that when they said this, their tone always carried a hint of mockery.
It wasn’t until the spices he made benefited a relative who always had insomnia and dreams that his family realized that he wasn’t just fooling around. He had real skills. The mocking voices gradually decreased and were replaced by compliments that they had never imagined before..
