Chapter 367: Chapter 367: Unaware of How Dangerous Their Situation Is

I don’t know if it’s despising the present Xing Ling or mocking the foolish Tang Yu.

"...Why did she commit suicide by jumping into the sea?" After coming back to her senses, Xing Ling was skeptical about Yi Die’s words.

She didn’t understand Ye Sihan, but she also didn’t know the previous woman.

On what basis should she believe her one-sided story?

And what was her purpose in saying such things?

However, Xing Ling was intrigued by this story of dubious authenticity.

"Of course, it was because she forced Mr. Ye to marry her. Unable to get what she wanted, she despaired and jumped into the sea to end her life," Yi Die said sarcastically. "What kind of man is Mr. Ye? How could he be tied down by marriage? Even if he had quadruplets, so what? In the end, they were still abandoned."

Actually, Yi Die didn’t know that the quadruplets were Tang Yu’s children.

Since Tang Yu was someone who rose to the top later and could be replaced by another woman at any time, there was no difference between her and Yi Die.

This was a partially true, partially fabricated story she had concocted, making it more likely to be believed.

"It sounds like she died after being trampled by Ye Sihan," Xing Ling said, her awareness slightly drifting.

"Trampled? Why would you use that word? Is Tang Yu worth it? If you had seen her, you’d despise her too. Ah, maybe not, after all, you both have identical faces; maybe you would sympathize with each other." Yi Die chuckled, full of sarcasm.

"...Very similar?" Xing Ling asked.

"You’ll know what Tang Yu looks like once you turn around," Yi Die’s jaw tilted towards the direction of the mirror.

Xing Ling turned around and saw her own face in the mirror.

Was this Tang Yu’s appearance? This wasn’t just similar, this was a carbon copy.

"How is this possible?" She couldn’t believe it.

"What’s so impossible about that? Tang Yu worked at KING Group for a while. The Caged Studio downstairs was set up for her. Even if she turned to ashes, anyone who had seen her wouldn’t mistake her for someone else. You don’t need to go to the studio to confirm because all the people there have been replaced, no one knows Tang Yu anymore," Yi Die added. "As for those employees who weren’t replaced, they don’t dare to speak a word about Tang Yu."

Xing Ling recalled the first time she came to KING Group, when she stepped out of the elevator, an older man dropped his files on the ground in shock upon seeing her.

From his attire, he was likely a high-level executive.

Back then, Xing Ling thought it was strange, assuming the man was startled by the sudden appearance of a person in the elevator!

Now that she thought about it, it was odd to be startled by someone in an elevator at KING Group, which had countless people entering and exiting every day.

So, was it because her face was identical to Tang Yu’s...

"The quadruplets call you mommy, I think, from the start, they were misled into the impression that Tang Yu was their mother!" Yi Die said, rationalizing to herself. "You, you are just a substitute. Don’t dream of turning from a sparrow into a phoenix. In the end, you’ll meet the same fate as Tang Yu, dying a gruesome death."

Those words were a bit malicious.

They made Xing Ling quite uncomfortable, "Since no one dares to mention Tang Yu, why are you telling me everything? Do you want me to report you to your superiors?"

"You..." Yi Die got angry, and a bit flustered. "I’m trying to warn you out of kindness, don’t be ungrateful."

"What kindness? You’re just worried I’ll steal the spotlight from you because you like Ye Sihan, aren’t you?"

Yi Die’s face turned red and then pale as her secret was exposed, "A man like Mr. Ye is not something a woman can handle. If you’re looking for death, then go ahead!"

After saying that, she opened the door to the restroom.

But her body suddenly froze, a flash of tension crossing her face.

Xibao and Haohao were standing at the entrance to the restroom, looking up at Yi Die.

The children, who were so adorable and cute, had a gaze that surprisingly sent a chill through her.

Especially that boy.

With the same features as a mini version of Mr. Ye, he had an even more oppressive presence, as if he saw through what she had just done.

"You’re blocking my way," Xibao said in a soft, childlike voice. "I’m looking for mommy."

"I’m sorry, Miss Xibao," Yi Die immediately moved aside, holding the door open for them.

Xibao went in, and Haohao stood at the doorway, boys are not allowed to enter the girls’ restroom, although he really wanted to go in and find his mom.

He looked at Yi Die who was motionless and asked, "Aren’t you leaving?"

His voice carried a childlike tone, but his eyes were not very kind.

Yi Die was still looking at Xibao pouncing on Xing Ling, Xing Ling held Xibao with a face full of tenderness as if they were mother and daughter, she hurriedly came back to her senses and left the restroom.

On the way to the office, Xibao and Haohao held their mom’s hand on one side.

"Did that person just now bully mom?" Haohao asked.

"No, why do you ask?" Xing Ling did not want to poison the innocent and pure children with adults’ troubles.

"Before, when mom wasn’t around, she wanted to be our mom." Haohao said. "She even bought us chocolates to eat."

"Did you eat them?" Xing Ling was curious.

"No," Xibao shook her head.

Xing Ling smiled, she lowered her head to look at Xibao’s face, and thought about her own appearance.

It was because she looked exactly like Tang Yu that the children could make the mistake.

Being a stand-in mom, huh?

Xing Ling had played various roles, but she had never played the role of a stepmother.

Well, laying a foundation now would come in handy for such roles in the future.

Besides, she couldn’t refuse the quadruplets with their soft, cute, and pitiful eyes!

Xing Ling wanted to cry in her heart.

They didn’t return to the Ye Mansion for dinner, but went to an outside restaurant instead.

In the spacious private room, the quadruplets ate casually, sometimes sitting properly at the table, other times standing on the sofa, and then Junjun would climb onto mom.

After that, Xibao would climb up as well and then stay still, seated quietly on her mom’s lap until the meal was over.

On the way back in the car, Xing Ling slumped in the seat, even the intense gaze of Ye Sihan falling on her body did not bother her as she stared absently out of the car window.

For the first time, she realized that taking care of children was a very exhausting task.

This Ye Sihan was also fabulously wealthy, with so many bodyguards and nannies at his disposal!

In an ordinary family, it would be crazily exhausting, as parents couldn’t bear to refuse their children’s affection.

When they pounced, one’s heart would just melt.

The car arrived at the Ye Mansion and stopped, the children one by one hopped out of the car, turning to look, the mom slumped in the seat was still closing her eyes.

"Mom?" Junjun peeked his head to see if mom had woken up.

"Let’s go see the penguins!" Zhengzheng said.

"I’m coming too!" Haohao ran off.

Xibao looked inside the car and then at her brothers running off, still hesitating, she was then dragged away by Haohao.

Xing Ling had been filming all day, had lunch without a break, then went to the KING Group with the quadruplets, and spent the entire dinner interacting with them.

Once in the car, she fell asleep amidst the steady drive.

At this moment, she slept without any defense, her peaceful sleeping face caught in Ye Sihan’s dark eyes.

Especially when her body slid down, her top rode up, revealing her narrow and slender waist and skin that was so white it gleamed.

His dark eyes seemed to have a drop of water fall into them, rippling out subtle waves that carried a wild beast’s ferocity.

Xing Ling had no idea how dangerous her situation was.
