Chapter 392: Bursting With Rage
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ye Xin did not get much sleep the entire night, and Jiang Jin woke her up early in the morning and dragged her to Zhuang Ji. Jiang Jin had said that she should learn how to manage Zhuang Ji as quickly as possible. However, instead of learning how to manage Zhuang Ji, she spent most of her time chatting with the employees and dealing with a few troublesome customers. With all these things, she was already very annoyed. Her mood worsened when she saw that b*tch, Liang Zhou, as soon as she returned to the house. Not only did Liang Zhou seem fine, but she even looked radiant. Did this not mean that Mu Qing did not give Liang Zhou a talking to when he went back last night?
Apart from that, Ye Xin also wondered what was wrong with Jiang Jin today. Everyone knew Jiang Jin disliked that b*tch, but for some reason, Jiang Jin was very friendly to that b*tch today.
Ye Xin almost lost her temper when she watched that b*tch brew tea using the method that Mu Qing taught her. She was even more convinced that Mu Qing and Liang Zhou had gotten along swimmingly last night. Moreover, she knew how skilled Mu Qing was at coaxing people. When she thought about how good Mu Qing was to that b*tch, she really could not endure it any longer.
Ye Xin threw her on the bed, lying on the blanket as she cried in frustration and anger.
‘How can he betray me? Didn’t he already admit that he loves me? How can he treat that b*tch so well?’
…
Liang Zhou took her leave after lunch.
Ye Xin stayed in her room and did not come downstairs again.
Liang Zhou was in a good mood when she left the Mu family house. Her head was held high, and her chest was puffed out. She felt like she had vented some of the anger in her heart today.
‘Ye Xin, today is nothing. Just you wait. I’ll s.n.a.t.c.h back everything you robbed from Song Ning and return them to her!’
…
As soon as Ye Cheng stepped foot into the house, he smelled a strange smell. He stood at the entrance, trying to place the smell. After a moment, he finally realized it was the smell of incense.
He frowned immediately. ‘What’s going on now?’
The last time he returned home, the house smelled of alcohol; this time, it smelled of smoke.
The last time he came back, it was the smell of alcohol. This time, it was the smell of smoke.
A Buddha statue with a solemn expression had been placed at the side hall, and at this moment, Gao Wen was kneeling on a futon in front of the statue with her eyes closed. She was muttering something under her breath, but Ye Cheng could not hear her words clearly.
Ye Cheng stood at the side and watched for a while before he returned to the main living room.
A helper walked over and greeted him before saying, “Young Master, you’re back.”
When Ye Cheng heard the surprise and concern in the helper’s voice, a mix of sourness and warmth rose in his heart. He did not expect the person who was concerned about him being absent from the house for so long would be one of the helpers instead of his biological mother.
After the helper served Ye Cheng a cup of tea, he pointed to the side hall and asked, “How long has Madam been like that?”
The helper thought about the question for a moment before she said, “It’s been many days. Madam prays and recites the sutras devoutly every day. She’s said that the master told her that her heart has to be sincere and that she has to acc.u.mulate enough good karma to find Young Miss.”
Ye Cheng furrowed his brows. “Where did she find the master?”
The servant shook her head. “I don’t know. Madam prohibited us from following her when she went out. Based on what I’ve heard, she should’ve met the master while she was praying to Buddha in a temple. Recently, she’s been visiting the temple a lot to pray. Apart from that, she has also turned vegetarian.”
Ye Cheng’s frown deepened upon hearing these words. It seems to him that his mother had gone from being obsessed with one thing to another thing.
…
After more than half an hour, Gao Wen finally left the side hall. When she saw Ye Cheng, she did not seem particularly surprised.
Ye Cheng rose to his feet and greeted Gao Wen. “Mom.”
Gao Wen nodded and took a seat across from Ye Cheng.
When Ye Cheng saw his mother did not have any intention of speaking first, he said, “Mom, I was truly unaware of the situation in the hospital. At that time, it was Fu Ting who had handled everything. Initially, I’d planned to marry her after seeing how sincere she was to Ye Xin. I didn’t expect such a thing to happen in the end. Mom, don’t worry. I’ll definitely find Ye Xin and bring her back!”
Gao Wen looked at her son and said indifferently, “I know you’re busy with work so I won’t trouble you. I’ll personally look for Ye Xin. You can focus on your work instead.”
Ye Cheng was taken aback by his mother’s words. His mother had never spoken to him in such a calm manner before. She had always demanded things from him, after all. He had been prepared for her to cause a huge fuss earlier.. Her sudden change made her feel uncertain.
