Ye Chuyi revealed a playful smile. Now, this was fresh news. How had Meng Li managed to connect with Sheng Tingyuan?

Qi Yunfan continued, “I heard from Wen Nianyou that Sheng Tingyuan seems to have a first love, his ‘bright moonlight’, whom he’s been looking for many years, but he never found her. Meng Li fits the description of this girl quite well. There’s a very good chance that Meng Li is his long-lost first love, his ‘bright moonlight’!”

“Meng Li has already caught Sheng Tingyuan’s attention. Next, she’ll replace you and become Sheng Tingyuan’s lover, and even more, it’s very likely that Sheng Tingyuan will divorce the Ye Family’s daughter for her!”

Ye Chuyi was slightly stunned. Was the world really so small? Was Meng Li Sheng Tingyuan’s first love?

But she had never heard Meng Li mention knowing someone like Sheng Tingyuan.

Before finishing high school, she and Meng Li were inseparable and shared everything. Their real falling out occurred after the college entrance exams—Meng Li had tampered with her exam choices.

It was only then that Ye Chuyi realized Meng Li had been playing both sides, acting like her best friend while betraying her to curry favor with Wen Nianyou, all for the sake of ten yuan each time.

Past painful memories flashed through her mind, yet they did not change Ye Chuyi’s decision—even with Qi Yunfan revealing so-called secrets, she had no intention of helping him.

Moreover, she felt Qi Yunfan’s words were not completely trustworthy.

At least, it was impossible that Sheng Tingyuan would divorce her unless he learned her identity was fake. Otherwise, as he had said, as long as the Sheng Ye families weren’t bankrupt, she and Sheng Tingyuan would always be bound together.

“Qi Yunfan, Central Hospital is also a renowned tertiary hospital in the city, the doctors are experienced and highly skilled. If they say they need to remove half a lung, then half needs to be removed. Seeking Doctor Anxin won’t make a difference; she’s not a miracle-worker and can’t save your mother’s lung.”

Having said that, Ye Chuyi walked past him and left.

In the afternoon, Tang Jin gave her a call, asking her to come home for dinner.

Ye Chuyi guessed that she must have sensed the lack of progress in her relationship with Sheng Tingyuan, which had even deteriorated, so she was becoming anxious.

She drove to the villa where Tang Jin lived.

Tang Jin’s health had improved day by day after the surgery. Knowing that Ye Chuyi was coming, she had even waited at the gate to greet her personally.

Seeing her waiting by the door, Ye Chuyi quickly parked the car and walked slowly inside with Tang Jin, while the family driver drove the car in.

Tang Jin had not expected Ye Chuyi to drive such an old, inexpensive car. Clutching Ye Chuyi’s hand, she scolded her son, “Tingyuan really is stubborn. He only knows to be busy with the company’s affairs lately, neglecting both home and wife, not even thinking of buying you a new car.”

Ye Chiyi chuckled lightly, “Mom, I can buy a new car myself, but I actually like driving this kind of car. It’s low profile and doesn’t attract anyone’s attention.”

Tang Jin knew that with the Ye Family’s power, buying any car was as easy as buying groceries, but she still hoped Ye Chuyi would drive a car that was more comfortable and had higher safety features. This second-hand Volkswagen’s exterior even had cracks, which didn’t inspire a sense of safety.

She noted Ye Chuyi’s preferences in her heart and walked with her in the small garden, “Tingyuan is still in a meeting at the company, let’s wait for him. If you’re hungry, go ahead and have some snacks to tide you over.”

Ye Chuyi shook her head, “I’m not hungry, no need to tide over.”

She had an easier day at the clinic since she didn’t perform any surgeries, so she wasn’t very hungry.

After three rounds of strolling and chatting about household matters with Tang Jin, they finally waited until Sheng Tingyuan came back.

He got out of the car and walked towards them.

Tang Jin complained to him, “You still remember how to come back? Since you took over the company, having a meal with you has become harder than scaling the heavens.”

Sheng Tingyuan’s expression was indifferent, “Work has been busy. Didn’t I inform you already?”

“No matter how busy you are, you have to come home for dinner, and you must make time for your wife. You can’t just leave her on her own!”

Saying so, Tang Jin took Sheng Tingyuan’s hand and placed Ye Chuyi’s hand in his palm.

Ye Chuyi subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but Sheng Tingyuan was quicker, taking her hand firmly in his grasp.
