After Pretending to Fall, They Revealed Their True Faces

But she still ate the orange Lin Che gave her.

Ye Mingyan felt that this boy in front of her was quite interesting.

Chapter 53 Independence

"Auntie, did you come to negotiate with me?"

"That's right, I hope you can withdraw the trending topic."

"But why isn't Song Mu here? He's the one who injured me, he should apologize to me in person!"

"..."

Ye Mingyan fell silent.

Lin Che's words reminded Ye Mingyan of that scumbag son again.

He had caused such a huge mess.

Yet he spent the whole night partying at the bar.

While she had been sleepless all night and now had to personally apologize for him!

A trace of anger surged into Ye Mingyan's heart.

Her cold, elegant face was covered with a layer of displeasure.

Lin Che naturally caught this emotion.

He had investigated Ye Mingyan and knew that this female President's family relationships were not harmonious.

Perhaps with just a little instigation, it could all collapse.

"I understand, Song Mu definitely doesn't take this matter to heart at all. In his mind, no matter what mess he makes, you will always help him solve it."

Ye Mingyan fell silent.

Because what Lin Che said was the truth.

Song Mu was a good-for-nothing, relying on being a rich second-generation to bully and oppress others everywhere.

"Sigh..."

Ye Mingyan sighed.

Her eyes held a hint of loneliness.

"Auntie, I can see... you've applied a bit too much powder under your eyes, trying to cover up your dark circles, right? This trending topic must have greatly affected your company. You must have been up all night handling company matters, and you still had to come to the hospital yourself early in the morning to apologize to me..."

"You figured that out..."

The contrast was too stark!

Her husband, upon seeing Ye Mingyan wearing new makeup, would only suspect she was going to meet some man.

But Lin Che, whom she had met for the first time today, could see through the fatigue hidden beneath her exquisite makeup at a glance!

Ye Mingyan's heart trembled fiercely.

She felt that this young man understood her!

"You're right, Song Mu doesn't realize what he did wrong at all..."

Ye Mingyan didn't even realize that her tone had taken on a hint of complaint.

She was the President, and normally every word and sentence had to be carefully considered. It was even more impossible for her to complain about her child and husband in front of others.

But in front of Lin Che, she felt there was no need to be so hypocritical.

Perhaps it was Lin Che's sincerity that influenced Ye Mingyan, and her true thoughts blurted out.

Ye Mingyan actually felt a sense of relief, as if a heavy stone weighing on her heart had been moved, and her cold heart actually felt a little joyful.

"Wrong!"

"Auntie, you are an independent individual, not an appendage to anyone!"

"Song Mu's mistakes should not be transferred to you."

"You've done so much, but what about him? He probably doesn't even know you've paid so much!"

Lin Che's words were incredibly inflammatory!

Because yesterday, while Luo Xue was asleep, he had secretly downloaded Xiaomoshu and directly copied the Declaration of Independence from it!

"Learn from foreign barbarians to control barbarians!"

"But what can be done? Song Mu affected the company's reputation, I can only help him eliminate the impact."

Ye Mingyan was swayed.

She was about to awaken!

Although she asked a question, in Ye Mingyan's heart, an answer was gradually taking shape.

Perhaps if Lin Che pointed it out a little more, the answer would fully emerge.

"Auntie! This company was founded by you. You are a strong woman of the new era! You should have a happy family, not be dragged down by your family!"

"You mean to say..."

Ye Mingyan's heart was deeply shaken!

She stared at Lin Che, hoping to hear a definitive answer from his mouth!

However...

Lin Che stopped there.

This was the first time he and Ye Mingyan had met today.

To advise someone to abandon their family on their first meeting... Ye Mingyan wasn't a fool, how could she just obediently follow?

So, Lin Che just wanted to plant a seed in Ye Mingyan's heart.

Without him needing to personally water or fertilize it.

Lin Che believed that Song Mu and Song Qi's actions would foster Ye Mingyan's independent spirit!

Lin Che peeled another orange and handed it to Ye Mingyan.

Ye Mingyan looked at the half-peeled orange in her hand.

She tore off a small segment, then returned the rest of the orange to Lin Che.

Ye Mingyan was truly exhausted.

But after Lin Che spoke, she suddenly felt an immense sense of relief.

"Lin Che, you're a very thoughtful young man. Come, Auntie will add your contact information..."

Lin Che and Ye Mingyan added each other as friends.

The friend request had just been accepted.

[Transfer of 100,000 yuan!]

Lin Che stared at the transfer message on his phone, looking at Ye Mingyan in shock.

"Auntie, I said, I won't accept your apology unless Song Mu apologizes personally. Otherwise, I won't take down the trending topic."

"This isn't an apology..."

A transfer of 100,000 yuan was nothing to Ye Mingyan.

"Auntie gained a lot from you today, consider this a small red envelope~"

"But... ten thousand yuan is too much!"

"You young men must have a lot of things you want to buy, right? Limited edition sneakers, concert tickets, a cool motorcycle... Didn't a really popular game come out recently? I think it's called Black Wukong? Doesn't that game cost two thousand yuan?"

Lin Che fell silent.

As expected of a wealthy person.

Their spending habits were completely different from his.

The game costing over two thousand was the top-tier version, which also came with a gift box.

For ordinary players, purchasing the 268 yuan version was sufficient.

But in Ye Mingyan's eyes, it seemed only the most luxurious, highest-end version existed!

Lin Che scratched his head awkwardly.

Because he had guessed that Ye Mingyan might stay up late.

To boost Ye Mingyan's favorability, Lin Che had even specifically ordered a cup of coffee on a food delivery app.

A nine-yuan-ninety-nine coffee, a commoner's coffee.

Lin Che had initially thought it was quite decent.

But now that Ye Mingyan was offering a hundred thousand yuan!

The nine-yuan-ninety-nine coffee suddenly seemed rather shabby.

But just then...

The delivery driver arrived promptly.

"Is this the delivery for Mr. Lin?"

Lin Che originally wanted to grab it.

But before he could even sit up from the bed, Ye Mingyan had already taken the delivery.

"Would you like some coffee?"

"No, I don't drink it..." Lin Che said through gritted teeth, "I thought you might be staying up late, so I..."

"So, you ordered it for me?"

Ye Mingyan blinked her eyes.

She had never drunk such a cheap beverage as a nine-yuan-ninety-nine coffee in her life.

But now, it made her feel overwhelmed with gratitude.

"Forget it, Auntie, don't drink anymore. You've given me so much money, I'll help you pick something more expensive..."

"No need, thank you, Lin Che~"

Ye Mingyan bit her straw, her cold, stunning eyes curving into a gentle arc.

The iceberg had melted.

A vibrant spring filled the air, covering everything.

Chapter 54: Pleading

When Ye Mingyan returned home.

Downstairs in the large mansion, the atmosphere was incredibly oppressive. Song Mu, Song Qi, and Song Mu's Grandmother were all in the living room.

Song Qi, in particular, had a dark expression. Seeing Ye Mingyan appear, he gritted his teeth.

He had been stewing over this since morning.

When Ye Mingyan arrived home, Song Qi even saw a hint of joy on her face!

Considering Ye Mingyan was always known for her cold beauty, seeing a smile on her icy face was incredibly rare!

What made Song Qi even more furious was that he knew Ye Mingyan never smiled for him.

The flames of jealousy burned in his eyes.

"Speak, which man did you go to see!"

He blocked Ye Mingyan's path.

"You're overstepping your bounds. We're only married in name. It's my freedom to see whomever I please."

Ye Mingyan's tone was icy.

Ever since she had listened to Lin Che's words, she felt uncomfortable at home. The enormous mansion felt like a cramped prison to her!
