Who Is the Third Mistress?
I still remember how, even at a young age, she was a born businesswoman who disregarded the long-standing friendship between the Ye Family and Su Family families and tried to take advantage of the Ye Family's misfortune to swallow up their still enormous business empire.
After being thwarted by Ye Chenyu, she became even more ruthless and determined to take revenge on this suddenly appearing cousin. She even wanted to play the role of someone who was nearly raped by her lustful cousin, so as to ruin Ye Chenyu's reputation.
She considered herself extraordinary, a female Zhuge Liang, calculating down to the smallest detail, and aroused Ye Chenyu's unbearable desire. Just then, her reinforcements arrived, causing Ye Chenyu to lose all reputation.
But when the time she had planned arrived, the reinforcements had not yet come. Facing Ye Chenyu, who was equally ruthless, the dagger she had hidden in her leg was of no use at all. Instead, it provoked Ye Chenyu's temper, and after slapping her, he stripped her clean and Little White.
They lost both their troops and their mistress.
Su Mei originally considered this disgrace a lifelong shame and secretly vowed that if Ye Chenyu did not eliminate her, she would repay the humiliation she suffered today tenfold or a hundredfold in the future.
To Su Mei's surprise, after the night of bleeding, Ye Chenyu showed no resentment or wariness towards her. Instead, he reasoned with her, citing classical texts and arguing that Su Mei was incredibly foolish and short-sighted, making Su Mei feel ashamed and embarrassed.
Although this did not erase her resentment, Su Mei realized that her cousin was not what she thought, merely relying on his wealth, but actually possessing genuine talent and ability.
Because of her illness, Ye Chenyu asked her to stay for three days. Su Mei was afraid that he would suddenly become hostile, so she dared not disobey and stayed for three days.
After spending three days together, Su Mei had initially thought he would be lusting after her body, but instead he treated her with courtesy, telling her, Ye Sijin, and Qin Peng about his experiences around the world, including all sorts of novel and unheard-of things. This made Su Mei feel that these three days were not so difficult or unpleasant.
Three days later, he personally escorted Su Mei back to her residence. After that, he acted as if nothing had happened that day. Whenever she saw his gentle smile and playful conversation, Su Mei always wondered if she had only stabbed him in her dream, and that she had never lost her virginity to him.
But a young woman will inevitably develop feelings for the man she has slept with. As time went on, Su Mei's thoughts gradually shifted from how to get revenge on him to how he could act as if that night had never happened. How could he be so indifferent to her? How could he look at her without feeling even a hint of lust?
When the things you focus on and care about change, your mindset changes.
This is the story of Ye Chenyu and Su Mei.
The script couldn't capture the many thoughts and intoxicating red and white moments. Liu Chang'an flipped through the script again and was certain that Su Mei was the only one who could create this story.
Many details and scenes were recorded that only the parties involved knew, and could not have been imagined by others who were familiar with Ye Chenyu and Su Mei back then.
Could this be evidence that Su Mei is still alive? Could it rule out the possibility that Su Mei dictated her story and had it recorded by someone else... such as Su Xiaocui? Su Mei wouldn't casually tell her story to others, but Su Xiaocui was the person she trusted most, and there's a possibility that she might have wanted Su Xiaocui to help record it at certain times.
Su Xiaocui is still alive, let alone Su Mei? Qin Peng received a trace of Ye Chenyu's blood essence, but Su Mei is actually the woman who received the most essence from Ye Chenyu. Even if she faces ordinary natural disasters or man-made calamities, she is not likely to lose her vitality or be unable to recover.
If Su Xiaocui Su Mei, who married into the Zhu Family, were still alive, what would her identity be in this world?
There was only one person on Liu Chang'an's mind: his Third Mistress.
Both Zhong Qing and Zhu Juntang proved that this Third Mistress held a superior position in the Zhu Family, second only to the Old Madam Su. She was the de facto head of the Zhu Family and controlled many of its resources.
This is Su Mei's style of doing things. Su Mei only trusts Su Xiaocui, so it's not surprising that she would personally take control of the Zhu Family.
If the Third Mistress were not Su Mei, a young widow from the third generation, without her husband's support, without powerful in-laws, and without outstanding children, even if the Third Mistress were exceptionally capable, she would not have been able to gain the complete trust of Old Madam Su.
Liu Chang'an had considered this line of reasoning before, but he had once suspected that the Third Mistress possessed some extraordinary abilities that were the reason for her high status in the Zhu Family.
Zhu Juntang also said that the Third Mistress is ruthless and decisive, which is also Su Mei's style. Just as Zhu Juntang said, the Third Mistress has killed people, and Su Mei is also the kind of person who doesn't care about human lives... No matter who it is, as long as she feels that the other person's death is good enough for her.
Liu Chang'an remembered a news item in the background introduction of the Third Mistress: the Third Young Master Zhu was in a car accident, Third Mistress survived while holding the infant Zhu Juntang in her arms. Many people in the convoy died, and the Third Young Master Zhu died on the spot... Liu Chang'an did not believe that this Third Young Master Zhu and Su Mei had any physical intimacy. If he were really Su Mei's man, he would not have ended up like this.
During our several meetings, her words and actions revealed something unusual, but it became understandable once you remembered that she was Su Mei.
The Third Mistress initially thought that Liu Chang'an was just Liu Chang'an, probably Ye Chenyu's great- the Art of War.
For someone as jealous as Su Mei to treat Ye Chenyu's great- the Art of War this way, it's already quite considerate of their past relationship.
The reason why the Third Mistress later wanted to marry Zhu Juntang to Liu Chang'an was simply to force Ye Chenyu, whom she considered important, to appear.
She might have even suspected that the coffin contained Ye Chenyu, which is probably why Liu Chang'an noticed a significant increase in surveillance cameras in and around the community for a period of time.
It was during this time that I heard that the Third Mistress had moved to the Grand Hyatt Hotel. From the top floor of that hotel, Liu Chang'an and his armored transport vehicle could be seen in their entirety.
After Liu Chang'an appeared twice as Ye Chenyu and was exposed to Qin Yanan and Zhu Juntang, the feeling of Liu Chang'an constantly monitored disappeared.
It cannot be ruled out that the Third Mistress learned that Liu Chang'an was Ye Chenyu through surveillance of Qin Yanan and Zhu Juntang.
At this time, the Third Mistress disappeared from Junsha. Zhu Juntang said that the Third Mistress had gone to Europe.
Given Su Mei's personality, if she were the Third Mistress, she would definitely not have a "see you again after a hundred years" ceremony like Liu Chang'an kissed Su Xiaocui's forehead.
She would still try to get revenge, or devise some self-righteous schemes to deal with him. After so many years, her feelings for Liu Chang'an were definitely not just simple sweet love.
Now that things have come to this, it's all thanks to Su Mei's scheme against him and Ye Sijin back then, which allowed Ye Sijin to carry his own aura, enabling Shangguan Dandan to sense Ye Sijin and leading to Qin Yanan's current situation. With the merits and demerits canceling each other out, Liu Chang'an no longer blames Su Mei for this matter.
But Su Mei... expecting this woman to be reasonable, to understand that her mistakes back then were the reason for their breakup, is impossible.
What is she doing now? What is she going to do?
Liu Chang'an thought to himself, knocking on the coffin lid. He should at least be completely certain that Su Mei was the Third Mistress. Since Shangguan Dandan able to sense Ye Sijin, she should have had a similar feeling when the Third Mistress came to the community.
