Yu Xiuzhun gritted his teeth, "This is the Yu family. If I don’t let you leave, don’t even think about walking out of here!"

"You never intended to stop, did you? Everything you’ve said in the past few days was just a lie, wasn’t it?"

Ye Mingmei stared at him in shock, capturing a fierce glint in his eyes, causing her heart to tremble abruptly.

Her body kept wanting to retreat, but her shoulders were tightly grasped by Yu Xiuzhun.

Yu Xiuzhun’s gaze didn’t avoid her eyes, nor did he open his mouth to explain, but his expression had already answered everything.

He really was deceiving her...

Ye Mingmei’s complexion instantly turned ashen, an indescribable feeling filled her heart, causing a turbulent discomfort.

She thought she could change him, but in the end, only proved her own delusions.

In Yu Xiuzhun’s heart, she was just a toy, something to amuse him when he’s happy, and easily discarded when he’s not.

He didn’t even bother to explain to her.

"Mr. Yu, Dan Hanjie has arrived, saying he’s here to pick up Miss Ye." The butler hastily appeared at the top of the stairs, walking briskly towards Yu Xiuzhun and reporting with respect.

"He came with Jin Chenye and Qin Youxuan."

"Sister..."

Ye Mingmei was momentarily stunned when she heard Dan Hanjie’s name, but it wasn’t until she heard Qin Youxuan that she finally confirmed that someone had indeed come to get her.

Clenching her teeth, Ye Mingmei forcefully shook off Yu Xiuzhun’s arm and lifted her head.

"Yu Xiuzhun, you can’t stop me anymore." Her eyes were filled with pride, tinged with the gritted teeth of having been deceived.

"From now on, I never want to see you again, whatever you do has nothing to do with me!" Ye Mingmei shouted all in one breath, without looking at Yu Xiuzhun’s startled face, she turned and ran downstairs.

As soon as her hand touched the stair railing, her wrist was seized, yanked forcefully backwards.

"Ah—"

Ye Mingmei staggered, falling straight into Yu Xiuzhun’s arms, bumping into his chest.

Before she could regain her senses, Yu Xiuzhun’s cold voice already echoed above her head.

"This is the Yu family, so what if Dan Hanjie and Qin Youxuan came? If I don’t let you leave, you won’t be able to go!" After speaking, he pulled Ye Mingmei into a bedroom on the second floor, tossed her onto the bed, turned around, and walked out, closing the door.

Ye Mingmei felt dizzy from the fall, just as she got up and was about to head to the door, she heard Yu Xiuzhun’s orders.

"Keep a close eye on this door. If she escapes, you’ll all be dead!"

"Yes, Mr. Yu!"

The uniform sound of the bodyguards was extremely loud. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Ye Mingmei ran to the door, forcefully twisting the doorknob, but the door had already been locked.

"Yu Xiuzhun, you bastard! Open the door! What right do you have to stop me from leaving, what right..." Ye Mingmei pounded on it, her hands turning red.

Exhausted, she collapsed at the door, curling up in a ball of grievance.

Outside the room.

Yu Xiuzhun’s stern figure stood by the door, facing it, his exquisitely handsome face devoid of any expression.

Cold as if frozen.

Listening to the muffled cries coming from the room, his brows furrowed imperceptibly.

The butler knew Yu Xiuzhun didn’t want Ye Mingmei to know he was still there and gestured to indicate that Dan Hanjie and the others had already entered the villa.

Yu Xiuzhun’s eyes flickered before he set off towards the top of the stairs.

As soon as he moved, Ye Mingmei, as if sensing something, started pounding on the door again.

"Yu Xiuzhun, are you still there?"
