Chapter 176: Chapter 176: Things are Not Simple_1

"Hehe." Su’s mother didn’t say anything and looked at Su Wanxia with a slight smile.

Su Wanxia saw her mother’s reluctance to speak and immediately felt conflicted in her heart, not knowing whether she should tell her about the photo.

A person who looks so similar, it’s impossible to say they have no connection to them.

Jesse had told her in such a certain tone that the person in the photo really existed, and even she wouldn’t believe there was no relationship at all if she said there wasn’t.

But--she sneaked a glance at Su’s mother.

It seemed her mom was unwilling to say anything and didn’t appear to want her to know, what kind of secret could be hidden within?

She always felt that this matter wasn’t simple---

Meanwhile, at the Mu Family’s home---

Bai Yudie was gently accompanying Mu’s mother on the living room sofa, speaking softly, "Aunt, it’s been a long time since big brother Yingchen came back--"

Not only hadn’t he come back for a long time, he also hadn’t gone to the company for several days, and she couldn’t see him anywhere.

Without guessing, she knew for certain he was with Su Wanxia.

Each time she thought of Su Wanxia, a mix of hatred and anger surged within her heart.

"Indeed~~ The company is so busy that he has to squeeze time even to come see me," Mu’s mother sighed while looking at the newspaper.

"Auntie, actually, big brother Yingchen hasn’t been to the company for many days now," Bai Yudie cautiously spoke up.

"Hm?" Mu’s mother put down the newspaper, frowning at her.

"I heard big brother Yingchen has been with Su Wanxia every day, I haven’t seen him at the company these past few days..."

"Hasn’t been to the company these past few days?" A stern look flashed in Mu’s mother’s eyes.

"Yes--" Bai Yudie pretended to be timid and lowered her head.

"Absurd!!" Mu’s mother slammed the table, her face full of anger.

She had already made herself clear to Su Wanxia last time, and she agreed not to break the agreement, so she hadn’t inquired about them for a while, thinking Yingchen was busy working at the company since it’s really busy towards the end of the year.

But she never expected that he didn’t even go to the company, entangling himself with a woman day in and day out.

What kind of behavior is this, what kind of decorum!!

Mu’s mother’s chest heaved violently with anger, her eyes flashing with a fierce sharpness.

Su Wanxia!

Every time she saw her face, she felt it was torture!

What infuriated her even more was that Su Wanxia, despite her promise, went back on her word repeatedly, always clinging to her son and not letting go, what could her intentions be!

The more Mu’s mother thought, the angrier she became, and the fire of rage in her chest grew fiercer.

"Auntie, we can’t stop big brother Yingchen from liking her, but it’s not possible for him to not go to the company, especially since he’s always been so conscientious about work. I think it must be Su Wanxia, that woman, clinging to big brother Yingchen, not letting him go to the company--"

Bai Yudie, watching Mu’s mother’s angry expression, whispered at her side.

Mu’s mother was already angry, and upon hearing Bai Yudie say this, she glanced at her sharply.

Bai Yudie immediately shut her mouth, not daring to say another word.

Mu’s mother looked at Bai Yudie and let out a heavy sigh.

How could she not see through her scheme, coming to tell her all this instead of going to the company today, if not to have her intervene and drive Su Wanxia away from Yingchen’s side, but would she know the reason for her anger!

"If there’s nothing else, you should go to the company too. With Yingchen absent, the secretarial office must be busier," she said.

Bai Yudie felt her heart skip a beat and could only nod in agreement.

Su Wanxia’s mother’s thoughts, she truly couldn’t fathom--

When Bai Yudie’s figure vanished from the luxurious and elegant living room, the butler approached Mu Family’s matriarch.

"Madam, don’t overtax your mind."

"Wen Bin, Yingchen is always entangled with that woman; how can I not worry? It’s a cursed fate, a cursed fate indeed!" Mu Family’s matriarch had a sorrowful expression.

"The young master is just too persistent. If he were to know the truth of the matter, he wouldn’t cling to her anymore."

Mu Family’s matriarch sighed and shook her head, "No, I do not wish for him to know the truth. Besides, with his temperament, even if he knew, he might not be able to let go of that woman, just like his father--" When she spoke of Yingchen’s father, a hint of pity curled at the corner of her mouth.

"The young master’s temperament is indeed very much like the master’s." The butler nodded in agreement.

"Not just similar, they’re exactly alike. That’s why I’m afraid, I’m afraid he’ll suddenly--" She couldn’t continue.

"Don’t worry, madam, I won’t let anything happen to the young master."

"You’ve had it hard these years, having to manage the Mu Family on my behalf and worrying about Yingchen," Mu Family’s matriarch said somewhat guiltily.

"It’s my duty, madam. You needn’t worry about it."

"Ah..." Mu Family’s matriarch sighed deeply, a glint of determination passing fleetingly through her eyes as if she had resolved to do something.

Ever since Su Wanxia had asked those questions, her mother seemed somewhat unsettled, often drifting off into space, even failing to hear her daughter calling several times.

This worried Su Wanxia even more, especially because she resembled the person in the photo too closely.

She lay restlessly on the sofa, and suddenly a thought flashed through her mind.

Her eyes widened in shock—

During her kidnapping, Yanzi, who had helped her, seemed to have said some inexplicable things to her.

At the time, she couldn’t understand a word, but now that she thought about it, it seemed to be related.

He had also expressed hope that she was the person they were looking for. Could they be the same people Jesse had mentioned?

Su Wanxia’s heart trembled—

But her kidnapping was clearly orchestrated by Ding Nianzi, so how was it connected to them? And with Black Wolf Gang arrested, where was Yanzi? Had he been captured too?

The more she thought about it, the more her head hurt. The whole affair was like a tangled thread, getting messier the more she tried to unravel it, with no clue in sight to discern the sequence of events.

Thus, she spent the day at home lost in wild thoughts until Yingchen called that evening.

"Are you at home?"

"Yeah, at home," she responded listlessly.

"What’s wrong?" Yingchen detected something off in her voice.

"Oh, nothing much, just slept too much, feeling lethargic," she replied.

"Hmm, come outside for a minute, I’m at your doorstep."

Su Wanxia raised her eyebrows, "At my doorstep?"

"Yeah."

When she gathered her energy to step outside, a chilling wind immediately made her sneeze.

She hadn’t worn a coat inside, so when Yingchen called, she just threw on whatever clothes she could find, not realizing how cold it had gotten without leaving the house all day.

She hadn’t brought a hat, gloves, or even thought to wear a scarf.

Yingchen, standing by the car door, frowned disapprovingly at her exceedingly casual attire. Perhaps he shouldn’t have called her out, and couldn’t she have known to wear more clothes and wrap up warmly before stepping out?

It was just like her to forget it was winter if he didn’t remind her even once!
