After that, Yin Muchen who was in the hotel picked up Xiao Qing’s call. He said “okay” before hanging up.
He took his hand back from the girl’s face. The girl was in deep slumber, and she murmured for a moment before falling back to sleep. He bent over and kissed the girl’s small face before standing up.
“President…” Hu Ya took the black suit and handed it over to Yin Muchen.
Both men walked out of the room.
…
After half an hour, Yin Muchen rushed over to the Pure Lake Bend Villa. He pushed the door and went inside. There was a small yellow lamp left lit up in the living room, and Xiao Qing was waiting for him.
Yin Muchen had a look upstairs, then he lowered his volume to ask, “Where is my mother? Is she asleep already?”
Xiao Qing had a look at the man’s handsome and powerful face, and her face was immediately red. She felt like a deer that was stumbling all over the place. She replied with a coy voice, “Godma has already gone to bed… Just now, after we had dinner, Godma thought about some unhappy things. Godma is not in good health. Her eyes hurt, and her thighs also hurt. We called the doctor over to have a look, and Godma took two pills and felt much better. She then went to bed.”
Yin Muchen was quiet as he listened on. He raised his eyebrows up as he asked, “Unhappy things?”
“Yeah…”
Yin Muchen did not say anything at all. He got a move on and went upstairs.
He opened the door. Liu Wanxin lay down on the bed. Her eyes were closed as she slept. He stood at the side of the bed as he looked at his mother. All of his memories were paused ten years back. His mother had looked warm and beautiful, and now, his mother was fifty years old. She was still young, and her features were still beautiful, but Yin Muchen noticed that there were many strands of white hair on her head.
She had a pretty face but had white hair growing on her head, and she looked extremely worn out.
Yin Muchen was quiet as he looked on for a moment. He shifted his gaze away, and he suddenly noticed a CD placed on the bed stand.
His long fingers pinched the CD. He turned around and went into the cinema room next door.
He placed the CD in the player, and the screen lit up.
The recording was very clear. It was a bedroom. Liu Wanxin stood beside the wide bed, and seven years ago, Liu Wanxin was not blind yet. She was probably just locked up by Yin De, she still had her gentle and soft aura together with hopelessness and fear.
Liu Wanxin was forcefully pulled into Yin De’s embrace from behind. Liu Wanxin used both of her hands as she grabbed onto her collar wanting to protect herself with her own clothes, but all of the material of the clothing were ripped in Yin De’s hands.
Liu Wanxin’s entire body was shaking. She took out a pair of scissors out from underneath the pillow, and she was desperate as she placed it on her own chest. “Don’t touch me, I am begging you not to touch me… I have a husband. You are forcing yourself on me. It is against the law… I will not bow down. I would rather die… I want to keep myself pure for my husband…”
Yin De was crazy as he kissed her body. He took out an envelope while he did so. He threw the envelope onto the bed, and all of the photographs inside the envelope spilled out. It was Yin Muchen, and at that time, he wore clothes that were washed till they became white, and he was all alone as he walked along the streets.
“Xin Xin, you are staying pure for your husband. What is going to happen to your son? Follow my instructions, and I will raise your son. After you serve me well, I will treat your son well. Otherwise, after you die, your son should not think of surviving either!”
The tears in Liu Wanxin’s eyes flowed out. The scissors in her hand fell onto the bed. She bent over, and her hands were shaking as she touched Yin Muchen’s face on the photograph…
But she was unable to touch it. All of the photographs were thrown below the bed by Yin De. He stretched his hand out to push them away, then immediately pressed Liu Wanxin to be underneath him.
“Ah!” The woman’s pitiful screams pierced through the night sky, and Yin De was rough as he insulted her. He was panting like a beast.
The bed was moving, and Liu Wanxin was pushed against the headboard, her hands were firmly grasping the sheets. Her face was covered in tears as she wished for death to come in the next second.
Even if she died, she was unwilling to close her eyes.
Yin Muchen’s dark eyes stared at the screen throughout. His large palms that he placed by his sides were kneaded into fists. His eyes were red as he watched his own mother get ruined by Yin De.
Half an hour?
One hour?
The screen stopped moving. Yin De flipped over. Liu Wanxin moved about, and her disabled body was like a fallen leaf that fell onto the bed. She could not move about and could only resort to climbing on the ground. She used both of her hands to pick up all of the photographs on the floor. She wiped away the dust that had fallen on them before protecting the photographs preciously in her embrace.
She curled herself up against the side of the bed as she wept. She sobbed painfully, as she said, “Ah Chem, Mummy’s Ah Chen…”
Bang! Yin Muchen took the remote control and threw it against the screen of the television.
The glass screen was shattered, then the screen froze and turned into white.
Hu Ya, who was outside, heard the loud commotion and was taken aback. He had worked with Yin Muchen for so many years, and had never once seen him throwing things. How angry must the man be to come to this stage?
Hu Ya could also somewhat hear the sound of the CD playing, and he had guessed the contents.
At this moment, the door was pulled open forcefully, and Yin Muchen walked out of the room.
“President…” Hu Ya stepped forward.
Yin Muchen did not stop in his tracks, and he quickened his steps as he walked out of the villa.
Hu Ya knew that Yin De was done for.
…
Hu Ya wanted to go down the steps, but when he walked past Liu Wanxin’s bedroom, he heard, “Secretary Hu.”
Hu Ya froze, and was immediately polite as he answered, “Yes, Madam…”
Xiao Qing opened the door, and Hu Ya entered the bedroom.
Hu Ya stood at the side of the door as he looked in front of him. Liu Wanxin, who was on the bed, had already sat up, and Xiao Qing had given her some clothing and put a soft cushion behind her back.
“Secretary Hu, what is going on between our Ah Chen and that Yin Shuiling?”
Hu Ya knew that she would question him, and he answered diplomatically, “President was 18 years old when he entered the Yin family. At that time, Miss Yin was the Young Miss of the Yin family. Everyone in T City adored and admired her, but Miss Yin did not bother with anyone. She only treated President well. President also treated Miss Yin well…”
Liu Wanxin laughed coldly as she said, “Secretary Hu, you have a good impression of Miss Yin?”
Hu Ya lowered his gaze down as he said, “I do not dare to do so…” As he spoke, he hesitated for a moment before he said, “Madam, actually President in a painful dilemma now, he has Miss Yin on one side and you on the other…. As a mother, you purposely let President see that CD tonight. Aren’t you…being too cruel?”
Letting her own son see how a man ruined her, no matter who faced the same situation, it would be hard for anyone.
“Cruel?” Liu Wanxin acted as if she heard a funny joke as she said, “If I am not cruel towards Ah Chen, could he bear to be cruel to face Yin De? What kind of person is Yin De? Yin De caused his father’s death and had ruined his mother for so many years now. Yin De has personally ruined his family, and he is actually hesitating and pacing on the spot because of his enemy’s daughter? Can he actually face me, and can he face his father that was insulted and tortured in Heaven with pride?
“My eyes were not blind from the beginning. I became blind after I cried too much! Every time I hugged Ah Chen’s photographs I would cry. As I cried on, my eyes could not see anymore. I put up with the insults for ten whole years and hoped that he would bring me back when he grew up, then he would take revenge on the enemy, but now he is actually telling me that he has fallen in love with his enemy’s daughter?
“Secretary Hu, why don’t you tell me? Am I the one being cruel towards Ah Chen, or is he the one that is being cruel towards me?”
Hu Ya could not reply. This old conflict would have to be resolved cleanly or it would come back to haunt again. He was an outsider, and did not have the standing to comment.
“Madam, don’t be agitated. At least you have gotten what you have wished for.”
She must have gotten her wish.
Hu Ya thought about Yin Shuiling once again. Over the past three years, both Liu Caizhe and him were clear inside their hearts. Every time she would come out from the room quietly, she would always droop her head down. She was just like a Chinese crab flower; she was shy and could not help but to avoid eye-contact. There was a time they asked her to take the morning after pill. She was also obedient as she took it. She vomited a few times after that, but she took some water as she swallowed it down.
He had never seen the girl complain before. The expression on her face was always shy and sweet.
What kind of person was Yin Shuiling? She was the little princess of T City, the red rose in men’s hearts. She was exquisite and attractive. At the age of 15 when she could be reckless, she was so attractive that she could captivate the hearts of everyone in the city. She also could totally choose anyone other than Yin Muchen, and she had no obligation to love someone so pathetically and shyly.
But she fell in love with him and did not hold back at all, and she was just like a spark of fire as she gave all of whatever she had.
The biggest difference between Yin Shuiling and Liu Wanxin was that —Liu Wanxin’s love that she had for Yin Muchen had changed due to the ten years of hate, and Yin Shuiling’s love for him would never change. She could not bear to allow that man to be in pain, and she gave him the best and perfect love to him.
…
Yin Shuiling had a good night of rest. As she slowly opened her eyes, she noticed that it was already 8 in the morning; she was late to rise again.
She scanned her surroundings, and Yin Muchen was not around.
She washed up simply before heading out the door.
As she walked along the corridor, she had a whiff of a damp smell. It was not considered to be pleasant. She stopped in her tracks and brought one hand to her chest, and she suddenly had the urge to puke.
She did not have anything inside her stomach. She also hadn’t consumed any water. She did not vomit; she could only retch.
Her body felt extremely uncomfortable. The tears in her eyes flowed out. After that urge to puke went away, she stood up straight and went home.
She did not understand the state of her father’s matters. Last night… Did Yin Muchen agree to help her?
Thinking about the kiss he demanded between her lips, her small face was a little pale, and there was a little bit of sweetness inside her heart. She just knew that he would not dump her.
Everything would pass.
She walked out the doors of the hotel, and she stood at the side of the road to flag a cab.
At this moment, “Yin Shuiling, what are you doing here? I have been looking for you for a long time.” Fan Chengsi ran over.
Yin Shuiling looked at the large beads of sweat on the boy’s forehead. She said, “Fan Chengsi, do you have an urgent matter that you are looking for me to handle?”
“Yin Shuiling, go back home quickly, your family is in deep trouble now. The government has dispatched some people to arrest your father, and the Supreme Court has directly sealed off your home. Your entire family villa has been pasted with white slips.”
Yin Shuiling’s head burst out with a bang! She was in a daze as she stood on the spot, and her entire world was in a mess.
…
Yin Shuiling did not know how she managed to make it back home. Fan Chengsi held her small hand as they got into the Fan family’s private car. The car stopped, and she saw that there were many people gathered outside the villa, and they were all law enforcement officers.
Yin De had a pair of cold handcuffs on his hands. Her home, the home that she’s lived in for 18 years, was covered with white stickers. Her house was sealed off, and it was no longer her home.
Fan Chengsi held her hand as they went forward. It seemed that she had already lost all of her senses. Her body was so cold that it seemed that it was fished out from a frozen lake. She felt bouts of coldness descend onto her. Her teeth were chattering, and her face was pale just as if she were a robot.
Yin De saw her hopeless eyes, and his eyes lit up immediately. “Shuiling, Shuiling, Daddy figured it out; it was Yin Muchen who harmed me. Everything was what Yin Muchen stirred up. Shuiling, you better listen clearly. These three past years, Yin Muchen set up a large trap for Daddy. He made red flags crop up within our company’s financial records. He even made me run into trouble with the law. He blamed me for not paying all of my taxes. Your mother died of a sudden heart attack, Daddy is in jail, and our entire Yin family is ruined. It was all because of Yin Muchen. This is his evil plot; it was all his doing!”
“Shuiling, did you hear clearly? Yin Muchen was the mastermind behind it all…”
Yin De was pushed up into the car by the law enforcement officers.
Yin Shuiling was in a blur as she stood on the spot. There were many people gathered around. Everyone was pointing and criticizing her. There were some that mocked her and some that pitied her. The windows of the villa still had the cloth banners from the funeral. Her mother’s ancestral tablet was still inside the villa…
Yin Shuiling closed her eyes and fainted immediately.
