Everything, Su Yiru knows everything.

"Mom, I’m sorry."

Ye Mingmei was too ashamed to lift her head, staring at her toes, unsure of where to start explaining.

"What are you carrying? Such a big package."

Qin Youxuan suddenly spoke, her gaze falling on the medicine package in Ye Mingmei’s hand.

"All traditional Chinese medicine, for health management." Ye Mingmei gratefully looked at Qin Youxuan who helped change the subject and walked over to put the package on the table.

With such a big package of medicine, she knew it would eventually be noticed.

"What’s wrong with your health? Why are you taking medicine for no reason?"

Seeing Ye Mingmei bring home so much medicine, Su Yiru momentarily forgot her anger, hurriedly got up from the sofa, walked over to her, and examined Ye Mingmei from head to toe, afraid she might have gotten hurt.

"I’m fine, it’s just that I’m uncomfortable during my cycle. A friend recommended an experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctor who specializes in this, so I got some medicine from him to try."

"Is it reliable? Our family has invested in hospitals. If you’re unwell, I can accompany you for a thorough medical check-up tomorrow..."

"I’m fine, just some abdominal pain, but it’s better now."

At the mention of another hospital visit, Ye Mingmei shook her head vehemently like a rattle-drum.

She had been hospitalized for a week, and finally managed to get out; she didn’t want to go back in.

"Mom, you’re not mad at me anymore?"

Seeing Su Yiru talking to her again, Ye Mingmei quickly reached out to wrap her arm around her, employing all her charms to coax and amuse her until Su Yiru couldn’t help but laugh.

"You, you’re all grown up yet still not steady, though you’re careful, you lack the courage of your sister. With something this big, how could you think of hiding it from me? It’s already in the papers, how can you hide it?!"

Su Yiru lightly tapped Ye Mingmei’s head, looking like she wished she could do better for her.

"I didn’t mean to hide it, I was just afraid you’d get mad if you found out and it would affect your creative inspiration, so I didn’t say anything right away. Later... the company had affairs, so I was on a business trip, and it dragged on until now."

Ye Mingmei explained weakly, guiltily glancing at Qin Youxuan.

Even though Jin Chenye had promised to help keep it from Qin Youxuan too, she felt like Qin Youxuan already knew she hadn’t actually been on a business trip.

"Then what’s with this newspaper?" Su Yiru picked up the newspaper from the table. "Are the photos real or fake?"

"Of course, they’re fake. Yu Xiuzhun and I haven’t been in contact for a long time; I don’t even know where the media got these photos. They’re all baseless reports."

Ye Mingmei rubbed her arms, mustering the courage to speak.

Cautiously glancing at Qin Youxuan, she found her merely pressing her lips together, without any intention of exposing her lies.

Ye Mingmei let out a long sigh of relief.

"Bang—"

Su Yiru forcefully threw the newspaper into the trash can.

"Yu Xiuzhun is getting more and more outrageous, using such despicable methods. Does he think by linking himself with Mingmei, we’d stand by if he tries to mess with the Dan Family?"

"..."

Ye Mingmei’s heart skipped a beat, she quickly lifted her head to look at Su Yiru.

"As long as Qin Youxuan is with Dan Hanjie, the Ye Family will back the Dan Family indisputably. Yu Xiuzhun is not a sincere person. Even if the reports were true, I would never agree to let my daughter be with him!"
