Chapter 416 - She Hated Them

Chapter 416: She Hated Them

He Xiyan gripped her phone tightly and her eyes were filled with despair and rage.

He was sorry? What was the use of apologizing?

She closed her eyes and her lips curved into a wry smile but she did not respond and immediately hung up on him. She did not want to hear their voices at all.

Qin Xiaoyu brought a bowl of lean meat congee and a cup of milk to her.

“Sister Yan, you should have something to eat,” she said as she placed the items on the table.

He Xiyan hadn’t eaten since those articles appeared online while Ye Hao had left the castle, saying that he would settle this issue.

“Just leave it over there,” she said with a wave of her hand.

Then, she turned to sit on the sofa and she lowered her eyes and pressed her palms hard against the sofa. She didn’t cry but a look of intense hatred slowly appeared on her face.

She had never hated them but she hated them for being so shameless and resorting to extreme measures to get the child.

Her phone beeped with a message notification and it was a text notification from Ye Hao.

‘Yan Yan, I’ve already told tx to remove the articles that they’ve posted and I’ll do my best to get rid of all the other articles available online. Try not to be too upset and have something to eat.”

She placed her hands over her face and she felt her heart clench in pain.

Ye Hao might have arranged for the articles to be deleted but there was no use since so many other websites and media have reposted the articles, it would be impossible to destroy them all. The more these articles were deleted, the more she would seem like she had something to hide, and the more dishonest she’d seem.

In any case, even if he managed to get the special news coverage of her past deleted, could he also prevent the articles from being pasted all over Weibo, Wechat, and other social media accounts?

He Xiyan twisted her fingers together and held them so tightly that a bruise was starting to form on her finger joints. The hatred in her eyes grew more intense. She had already forgiven them for the times when they bullied her, so why did they have to resort to such despicable measures and even splashed his photograph all over the media?

She picked up her phone without any hesitation and sent a message to Ye Hao. Then, she shut her eyes tightly and waited for those people to come.

She didn’t understand why she was the one suffering in pain when it had been their fault the entire time.

Yuan Yuan tottered along the corridor into his mother’s room and peered at his mother who sat prone on the sofa, his eyes blinking curiously.

He didn’t know what was wrong with his mother but he knew that his mother was ignoring him.

A while later, Yuan Yuan walked up to his mother and lay down over her knees.

“Ma ma..” he called out in his childish voice.

He Xiyan looked down at her son and suddenly, tears pricked at her eyes and she could even taste the bitterness in her mouth. She reached out to hold Yuan Yuan and pulled him tightly into her embrace.

Yuan Yuan kissed his mother’s cheeks and looked up at his mother. Although he didn’t know what to say, he sensed that his mother was unhappy.

“Yuan Yuan, I swear that I’ll never let them separate us, I swear,” He Xiyan suddenly lost her composure and said something that he couldn’t understand. Then, her grip on him tightened as her eyes hardened with determination.

Yuan Yuan didn’t know what his mother was saying but he nodded his head forcefully.
