The a.s.sistant had not finished when Yue Lingsi already heard the sound of things being thrown from inside the room followed by Deng Wenwen’s cold and odd tone.

“Let her come in!”

The a.s.sistant trembled and quickly bowed slightly to Yue Lingsi whose expression was strange. She stared at her with a complicated gaze before she said softly, “Mrs. Yue, best you go in quick. The company…”

When she saw the a.s.sistant hesitate, Yue Lingsi realized that the matter did not seem to be a simple one. Then, she picked up her pace and went into the room.

Inside the ward, Deng Wenwen was leaning against the headboard while her hand clutched a tablet as she flipped through it. The light above the headboard shone on her and Yue Lingsi could already fell the coldness from afar, especially after she heard her footsteps. In that instant, Deng Wenwen looked up and Yue Lingsi could see the anger and hostility that flashed in her eyes.

Stunned, Yue Lingsi quickly walked over to her bedside. “Mother? What’s wrong? Why don’t you look so good?” she asked in concern.

The moment she opened her mouth, Deng Wenwen’s pair of old eyes cut through her like cold, sharp blades. She stared coldly at Yue Lingsi and could see the shock in her eyes.

“Mother, what’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?” Yue Lingsi asked uneasily.

Deng Wenwen’s gaze became even colder as she handed the tablet to Yue Lingsi. Her sharp voice which was mixed with an icy, biting-cold wind entered her ear. Unable to bear the piercing cold, Yue Lingsi immediately tensed up and took the tablet nervously.

Yue Lingsi looked down at the tablet. The picture on the screen immediately greeted her eyes, that familiar face, that ambiguous entanglement of shadows…

She immediately turned pale and her whole body s.h.i.+vered as her hands trembled without control. Her legs even stiffly took a step back while her eyes instantly turned dull.

This scene was taken all in by Deng Wenwen’s sharp eyes.

Without a doubt, from such a reaction, this must all be true!

Her aged eyes instantly turned chilly as ice. Her gaze was sharp as she glared at the pale Yue Lingsi. She ground her teeth till they almost turned to powder, feeling extremely disappointed and angry. Her tone was exceptionally hostile as she said, “Look at you. Does that mean all this must be real then? Am I right? Tell me! Is this all real!? Tell me!”

The fury that Deng Wenwen held back in her chest finally exploded at this point. She picked the cup by her side up and flung it at Yue Lingsi. “I had such high expectations of you, yet you went and did such shameless things, bringing shame to the Xi family. Furthermore, it’s with a male star that the company signed on! How great of you! Do you know how to write the words ‘no sense of shame’?”

Yue Lingsi trembled in panic at once. She did not evade the cup Deng Wenwen had thrown in time, and with a whoosh, the cup smacked Yue Lingsi accurately. The pain blossomed before Yue Lingsi could even snap back.

“Mother, I…”

Yue Lingsi was disconcerted. She trembled as she read the things on the tablet and her heart immediately felt like a hand had furiously grabbed and squeezed it. The sharp claws made her heart sting!

Xi Mushan had used this to threaten her for the divorce back then. She remembered that they had clearly been burnt to dust, so how did these things surface to be exposed?

Could Xi Mushan have lied to her?

Was it Xi Mushan who exposed these?

That was impossible. If it were Xi Mushan, he did not have reason to do so since they were divorced now. He had achieved his goals. Based on how he was like, he probably would not have done this.

Still, Yue Lingsi could not ponder further at this point. Deng Wenwen’s stern scoldings were just beginning to enter her ears.

“Don’t call me Mother! I’m not your mother! How dare you do such things? Where is the Xi family supposed to put our dignity? Tell me what all of this is about!”

“Mother, I… I really didn’t…”

“If I guess correctly, back then, you agreed to sign the divorce papers so quickly because of this.” Deng Wenwen’s cold tone did not have a hint of mercy as she fixed her gaze on Yue Lingsi with hostility.

She remembered back then that she had asked Yue Lingsi why had she signed the papers, but she did not say anything. She just wept. Back then, she thought that Yue Lingsi was just done being wronged, so she let go. Who would have thought that it would be because of this!?

Yue Lingsi panicked as she felt a suffocating pain surge up, and she almost fell limp.

“Hmm, now that things have come to this point, what else do you have to say? I’ve already gotten the company to call Arthur, but his phone is switched off right now. Who knows where he’s hiding?! I can’t believe that you’d do such a thing! You’ve really disappointed me! I’ve treated you so well all this while! And you… You’re trying to destroy Yueying! You’re a Mayoress. How can do such shameless things? How embarra.s.sing!”

“Mother, it’s not like that. Let me explain!” Yue Lingsi walked up and wanted to calm Deng Wenwen down, yet she smacked her hand that reached out away.

“Get lost! Shameless, lowly thing! I always trusted you, yet you did such disgusting, lowly things. Now, Yueying’s going to be destroyed by you! Fool!” Deng Wenwen started to rain down with curses again. Her old face had turned beetroot at this point.

Yue Lingsi shuddered slightly, enduring the pain that suddenly arose in her chest as her eyes began to redden. Immediately, they welled up with tears and she held the hand that Deng Wenwen had struck as she stared in horror at Deng Wenwen. “Mother, what are you saying? How could you curse me like that?”

“Am I wrong? Did you forget how you promised and guaranteed me back then?” Deng Wenwen spoke sternly.

“Mother! You don’t even know how Mushan and I are like! I’ve married him for over 20 years now. Apart from that night, he’s never so much as touch me. I’m a woman too. Why do I have to be a gra.s.s widow all my life? I’ve put my whole heart in for the Xi family, quietly loved him for so many years, and what did I get? He hates me! His hatred for me has been increasing. He said I was disgusting and malicious! In the end, he just used divorce papers to kick me aside. All the things I’ve done all these years, what were they all for?”

As Yue Lingsi lashed out, the anger and unhappiness in her heart could not help but be released too. Her eyes were hot, and in the blink of an eye, they turned misty with tears.
