Once those photos are exposed to the public, for a woman, it’s a lifelong harm.

No one is sure how crazy Yu Xiuzhun might get.

"I understand." Ye Mingmei let go of her hand and looked up at Jin Chenye.

"Senior, does he not intend to let me go?"

Ye Mingmei’s tone revealed a trace of helplessness.

"Don’t be too pessimistic, things haven’t reached the worst outcome yet."

And it probably won’t come to a dead end.

Jin Chenye’s eyes flickered.

He vaguely sensed Yu Xiuzhun’s feelings for Ye Mingmei.

Just didn’t dare to bet.

"Just consider today a holiday, have a good rest at home for the day, call me if you need anything, and don’t overthink." Jin Chenye patted her head before getting up to leave.

Ye Mingmei curled up on the sofa, staring at the photos on the computer screen, her fingers swiftly closed all the webpages and shut the computer.

She caught sight of the breakfast the servant was about to take upstairs, nerves tightening.

"Is this breakfast for my mom?"

"Yes." The servant responded respectfully.

"I’ll take it up." Ye Mingmei thought for a moment, hurriedly tossed the computer aside, stepped forward, took the tray from the servant, and headed upstairs.

Su Yiru was preparing for the latest quarterly fashion show, and whenever that happened, she’d lock herself in the design room, fully immersed in design for an extended period.

The time ranged from a week to over a month.

This was something the Ye Family had long been accustomed to.

During such times, unless something important arose, the Ye Family would not disturb her.

Ye Mingmei delivered the breakfast into the room, glanced at Su Yiru, who was sitting in front of the fabric-cutting machine, set the breakfast down, and left.

Su Yiru didn’t even notice the breakfast had been delivered by someone else.

"Announce that my mom is preparing for a fashion show, and no one is allowed to mention a word about the online photos in front of her, or else the Ye Family won’t tolerate them!"

As soon as Ye Mingmei came downstairs, she immediately called the butler over.

"Miss, even if we don’t say anything about this, it won’t be kept hidden for long." The butler frowned.

"Keep it hidden as long as possible, don’t affect my mom’s design, just do as I say."

"Yes, Miss."

Ye Mingmei stood in the living room, watching the butler’s figure disappear from sight, and collapsed weakly to the ground. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Yu Xiuzhun had promised her he wouldn’t let her mother know that they were still in contact.

Now he took the initiative to break this balance, as if he had cast aside all qualms.

Ye Mingmei had no idea what he would do next...

"Beep beep—"

The phone chimed with a message notification.

Ye Mingmei grabbed her phone and looked at it; the sender was Yu Xiuzhun, and there was only an extremely arrogant sentence: [You come find me, or I’ll send more photos to the reporters]

"Bang—"

The phone slipped from her palm, and Ye Mingmei’s face turned extremely grim in an instant.

She tried every means to avoid Yu Xiuzhun, yet with one move, he could force her to come to him voluntarily.

Picking up the phone, Ye Mingmei stared blankly at the message for a few seconds, then pressed delete.

She then turned off the phone and tossed it onto the coffee table.

She won’t go to him, never will!

...

Private villa.

"Despicable! Mr. Yu’s move is simply too despicable! He’s trying to tie Mingmei to him, making it impossible to clear up their relationship!"

Qin Youxuan threw the newspaper in her hand into the trash can, her face flushed with anger.

She turned around and looked at Dan Hanjie, who was sitting on the sofa.
