Chapter 1427: Chapter 1427: Concealment, Self-Deception

Just as she closed the door, her cellphone rang.

Ye Mingmei was startled, walked forward, and saw the caller ID blinking on the screen, her face instantly turned pale.

After hesitating for a long time, she didn’t have the courage to answer.

Listening to the sound of the ringing tone was like a siren piercing through her ears.

Her hand clutching the phone kept tightening, her knuckles turning white.

The phone rang for a mere half a minute, but to Ye Mingmei, it felt like an eternity.

The ringtone stopped soon after, and then started up again a few seconds later.

This time, Ye Mingmei reacted quickly and reached out to hang up.

Just as she was about to turn off the phone, a text message came through, along with a photo.

"Bang—"

Ye Mingmei’s fingertips trembled, and the phone smashed onto the floor.

Her body couldn’t help but shake.

"Mingmei, are you done packing? It’s time to come down for dinner," Su Yiru knocked on the door and pushed it open.

Ye Mingmei quickly bent down to pick up the phone, holding it tightly in her hand.

"Not yet, let’s go eat first. We’re not leaving today anyway; I can pack after dinner," Ye Mingmei hurriedly tucked the phone into her pocket to prevent Su Yiru from noticing anything, then casually turned around and ushered her out the door.

What they had for dinner, Ye Mingmei had no awareness of it at all.

Her mind was constantly flashing with the contents of the text message.

"Mingmei, what’s wrong with you?"

"Huh?"

"What’s going on? You look so pale, and you’re distracted even while eating. Are you feeling unwell? I’ll have a doctor come over to check on you," Su Yiru said as she started to rise from her seat.

Ye Mingmei hastily stopped her, "I’m fine, I was just lost in thought about going abroad."

"..."

Hearing her say this, Su Yiru’s mind finally eased a bit.

"I will take care of these matters. You just recovered from a cold; it’s most important to get more rest right now. Eat more vegetables, look how thin you’ve become, it breaks my heart to see," said Su Yiru as she ladled a good amount of food into Ye Mingmei’s bowl, only starting to eat herself once she saw Mingmei eat.

After dinner, Su Yiru went back to her design studio to work.

Ye Mingmei sat alone in the living room, continuously gazing at the wall clock.

As the hour hand was about to reach nine, Ye Mingmei became increasingly restless.

Constantly checking her phone, she occasionally glanced towards the staircase, fearing that Su Yiru might come downstairs.

"Miss, would you like something to drink?" Seeing Ye Mingmei pressing her lips together all the time, the butler thought she was thirsty and dutifully asked.

As soon as he asked, he saw Ye Mingmei stand up from the sofa, startled.

Her face turned white, her body trembling slightly.

"Miss, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? I’ll go call the madam right away."

"Don’t tell my mom, I’m fine, I just feel a bit stuffy and want to go out for a walk. If my mom asks, just say I stepped outside for some fresh air and will be back soon—don’t worry her."

After speaking, Ye Mingmei didn’t even dare to look at the butler, grabbed her phone, and hurried outside.

Having left the Ye Family’s main gate, Ye Mingmei followed the sidewalk along the road, walking straight ahead.

She stopped in her tracks upon seeing the super sports car parked by the side of the road.

Seeing the vague silhouette in the driver’s seat, her body started to shake uncontrollably.

Weak as if she could collapse at any moment, but her feet could only carry her mechanically toward the man.

As Ye Mingmei neared, the passenger door swung open.

"Get in," Yu Xiuzhun’s voice was cold and forceful.

"Where are you taking me?" Ye Mingmei glanced at him, stepped back with fear, and tightly clutched her skirt.
