Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 626 - 623: Rivals Meet

Chapter 626: Chapter 623: Rivals Meet

Even now, Gong Yue showed not even the slightest hint of remorse.

Ming Yao’s eyes flashed with bone-chilling hatred.

Though she was still alive, her past self, along with her twin sister, had both vanished like smoke!

And all this was thanks to Gong Yue!

"Gong Yue, you’ve done so many atrocious deeds, so from now on, spend your days repenting in prison! As for the Luminous Pearl, I’ll never let her off in this lifetime!"

Gong Yue was slapped by Ming Yao, and it took her quite a while to realize what had happened.

Clutching her swollen cheek, Gong Yue’s eyes revealed a fierce glint as she heard Ming Yao’s words.

"Ming Yao, dare to harm a single hair on Zhuzhu and see what happens! I am the Third Princess of the Presidential Residence, who dares to touch me..."

Gong Yue didn’t finish her sentence when suddenly, several men in uniform approached.

The leading man showed his badge, "We are international investigators. Lady Gong, we heard everything you just discussed with Miss Ming. We’ve been investigating the practice of evil arts, and you just admitted to having hired Dao Sheng years ago and used evil arts to harm others. Now, please come with us immediately for an investigation!"

Gong Yue’s pupils constricted.

She glared at Ming Yao, her face ashen.

She actually brought the international investigators here!

"Ming Yao, are you taking revenge on the Gong Family? Are you using Gong Siting as a tool for your vengeance?"

Ming Yao tugged at the corner of her mouth, smiling yet not smiling, "What if I am, what if I’m not? If you’ve done something unspeakable, you should be punished by the law!"

Gong Yue was handcuffed by the investigators and taken away.

Luminous Pearl wanted to follow Gong Yue, but she was so weak and sore that she couldn’t even stand.

She glared at Ming Yao with burning hatred, wishing she could slice her into a thousand pieces.

"If my grandmother finds out, she won’t let you off."

Ming Yao squatted down in front of Luminous Pearl, patting her face, pale as paper, "Better not provoke me in the future, or else, I will make your life worse than death!"

Ming Yao spoke and picked up the Silver Needle, fiercely plunging it into the doll in her hand.

Luminous Pearl rolled on the ground in pain, "Ming Yao, Ming Yao, you evil woman, you wretch!"

Watching Luminous Pearl pass out in agony, Ming Yao stood up and leisurely walked away.

The news of Gong Yue’s arrest quickly reached Old Lady Gong’s ears.

Old Lady Gong was astounded.

When Gong Yue left, she said she was going abroad to sort out the winery business, so how could she have been arrested so suddenly?

Old Lady Gong soon learned the full story.

She never imagined that Gong Yue would secretly contact Dao Sheng and also had him use evil arts against Ming Yao.

She was even more surprised that Ming Yao had impersonated Luminous Pearl, causing the evil arts to affect Luminous Pearl instead.

So now, Mingzhu could only be controlled by Ming Yao!

Ming Yao was so cunning!

Old Lady Gong reached out to the international investigation team, trying to bail out Gong Yue, but they wouldn’t allow it.

Old Lady Gong was livid.

She had always said that leaving Ming Yao around would inevitably lead to trouble.

As expected, she had dealt with her daughter and granddaughter all at once.

Old Lady Gong called someone in, "Go, bring me Ming Yao’s daughter!"

Old Lady Gong’s people immediately went to capture Little Orange.

But after following Little Orange for a day, they were unable to get close to her.

Little Orange hadn’t been going to kindergarten recently; she was living in the villa purchased by Ming Yao.

Ming Yao had arranged for people from the Tang Sect to protect her family, knowing that if anything happened to Gong Yue and the Luminous Pearl, Old Lady Gong would certainly find a way to deal with her and her family!

When Old Lady Gong learned that Little Orange couldn’t be captured, she smashed a valuable antique vase, "Then bring Song Yulan over!"

She lacked international influence now, but Gong Siting had it.

As long as he personally contacted the international investigation team, there might be a chance for Gong Yue to be bailed out.

The pressing matter at hand was to get Gong Yue bailed out.

Song Yulan was going to attend a Wealthy Lady’s birthday banquet in the evening. As the mother of Mr. President, it was natural for her to have bodyguards with her.

The people from Old Lady Gong didn’t make a move during the journey. After Song Yulan entered the banquet hall, the bodyguards stayed outside, and Old Lady Gong’s people found a way to blend into the banquet hall.

Song Yulan didn’t usually like attending such banquets, but she couldn’t refuse because she had a good relationship with this Wealthy Lady.

"Yulan, you really maintain yourself well; you look just in your thirties," the Wealthy Lady said warmly, holding Song Yulan’s hand.

Song Yulan’s face wore a gentle smile, "You flatter me."

"I’m not flattering you at all, your skin, your condition, you really look very young."

The smile on Song Yulan’s lips grew deeper, "I’m in a good state, thanks to my daughter-in-law."

"Daughter-in-law?" The Wealthy Lady was a bit puzzled; if she recalled correctly, Mr. President and Princess Dai Na had already divorced, right?

"Not Princess Dai Na, but the daughter-in-law in my heart. She understands medicine, and nutrition too. She gave me a recipe for regulating the body. If you need it, I will send you the recipe later."

The Wealthy Lady, upon hearing this, was overjoyed, "That would be really wonderful, thank you."

After chatting with the Wealthy Lady for a while, Song Yulan went to the restroom.

She didn’t notice that several pairs of eyes were watching her from a corner.

"Shuyin, is she the current President’s mother?"

The former First Lady, Huo Shuyin, also came to the banquet today.

She didn’t expect to run into Song Yulan here.

Toward Song Yulan, she harbored some resentment; after all, she had given birth to Gong Siting with Gong Xiao.

Even though Gong Xiao had lost his legs in an explosion, and she was the one who initiated the divorce, she still had some feelings for him.

Due to her pride and arrogance, she was worried that Gong Xiao would find out she was infertile and had deceived him for years, leading him to initiate a divorce. So she decided to propose it first, to save the last shred of her dignity.

She thought Gong Xiao would try to keep her, but he didn’t.

When she presented him with the divorce papers, he didn’t hesitate at all and signed his name.

This became an unresolved grievance in Huo Shuyin’s heart.

When Song Yulan arrived tonight, she caught her eye immediately.

Song Yulan was dressed in a dark blue cheongsam, with a small shawl draped over her shoulders, looking graceful and elegant. Her skin was smooth and fair, and she looked full of charm.

And her? After divorcing Gong Xiao, she had been gloomy every day, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes had become more pronounced.

"I don’t know her," Huo Shuyin replied indifferently, about to avert her gaze when she suddenly noticed two people dressed as waiters heading toward the restroom.

One of the waiters looked familiar to her.

Huo Shuyin quickly remembered; she had seen him at Old Lady Gong’s place.

That waiter was one of Old Lady Gong’s people.

Were they going for Song Yulan?

Huo Shuyin followed them quietly, and soon she saw that waiter enter the restroom, take out a handkerchief, and knock Song Yulan out.

Huo Shuyin instinctively wanted to call someone over, but after hesitating for a few seconds, she chose to stay silent.
