Chapter 153 - 153 153 Maybe You Were Eavesdropped On

?Chapter 153: Chapter 153 Maybe You Were Eavesdropped On Chapter 153: Chapter 153 Maybe You Were Eavesdropped On Lin Yueqin sneered, “She really has some nerve, even managing to get a letter of forgiveness from the Du Family. She must have knelt down and begged for it! How come the Du Family didn’t cut her down?”

Shi Youjin furrowed his brow, “Let’s not talk about her for now. How is Youyou doing? Is she alright?”

“She’s doing great! No, no, that’s not right. She’s not doing well.”

“What happened?”

“She’s been blackmailed!”

“Who dares to blackmail her?”

“I don’t know who it is, but this person knows Youyou’s true identity, which is a huge hidden danger.”

Lin Yueqin stepped forward, grabbing Shi Youjin’s hand, “This matter is our biggest secret, it absolutely must not be exposed, Youjin. Otherwise, Youyou’s life would be completely ruined!”

“I know.”

Shi Youjin’s expression was incredibly grave, “The person blackmailing her, don’t you have any leads at all? How could Youyou’s identity have been exposed? Who have you two talked to about it?”

“Neither of us has told anyone. With something as fatal as this, how could we possibly talk about it everywhere?”

“You two haven’t said anything in private?”

“We did talk in private, yes, but when we did, we made sure to avoid others. There’s no way anyone knows!”

“Not necessarily. Maybe someone overheard you without your knowledge.”

Shi Youjin was somewhat annoyed, “I’ve always said you’re too close to Youyou, which makes it easy for others to detect something and gain leverage. You never listen to me. If you really cared about her, you should keep your distance!”

“Youyou is my daughter, how could I not be close to her? Enough of this, I didn’t tell you all this just to get a lecture from you. Right now, the key is to find this person!”

Lin Yueqin’s face showed fear and unspeakable anxiety, “That person is demanding five million from Youyou. The deadline is midnight tonight; otherwise, they’ll expose her identity!”

“What?!”

Shi Youjin also became anxious, “There’s too little time; I can’t possibly find this person so quickly.”

“What should we do then?”

“Give that person the five million to keep them at bay for now.”

“It seems like that’s the only option.”

“Does Youyou even have that much money?”

“Of course she has the money. You know how rich the Wen Family is, or else we wouldn’t have taken such a big risk to switch our daughter into the Wen Family in the first place.”

“As long as there’s money, then I’m relieved.”

Shi Youjin hesitated for a moment but couldn’t help himself, “Can you call out Youyou for me? I want to see her. I don’t even know how tall she is now or what she looks like. Does she remember me?”

“No!”

Without a second thought, Lin Yueqin rejected him, “You just complained about me being too close to Youyou, yet now you want to see her yourself. I have a legitimate reason to be near her, what reason do you have to meet her? You want to end up hurting her!”

“I just haven’t seen her for so long, I miss her a bit…”

“The best thing for you is to never see her for the rest of your life! You’ve been to prison. If people find out that Youyou has a father like you, she’ll never be able to lift her head among her friends and classmates!”

“Right, right, you’re right. Then I won’t see her.”

“You’d better get going, and don’t come to the Wen Family without a reason. Remember that we’re divorced!”

“Yeah, I know. I’m leaving now.”

Although Shi Youjin said this, after Lin Yueqin returned to the Wen Family villa, he didn’t leave.

He hid in the shadows and waited for a long time, until finally, Wen Nianyou came home.

She was dropped off by a man.

This man seemed to be in his late twenties, driving a car that looked very expensive. He was dressed in a classy casual outfit, with handsome features and gentle eyes, clearly well-educated, exuding the ease and comfort unique to the wealthy.

Wen Nianyou stepped out of the car holding a huge bouquet of roses, her face brimming with sweetness and happiness.

She kissed the man and shyly said, “Brother Yunfan, I’m going home now, thank you for the flowers.”

“Youyou, I should be thanking you. Why are you thanking me first? You helped me get three invitations. Isn’t giving you a bunch of flowers the least I can do?”
