Chapter 646 Removing Pretenses (2)

After her short married life with Han Yize and being blacklisted by Top Tier Entertainment for breaking several of her contracts and endorsement, Ye Mingyu lived splendidly for the first few months. She spent the alimony money she received from Han Zijun and partied all night. She had thought that things were going well for her, not until the police came to her door and questioned her about Cai Lin's death.Updated chapters at novelhall.com

Now that the news was out, everyone was hounding and criticizing her fiercely, the same way they did to Su Xiaofei when she set the latter up to bully her in public. Though Ye Mingyu liked being the center of everyone's attention, she couldn't stand being mocked and ridiculed by anyone. She detested it, especially those eyes that ridiculed her when she and her mother were as poor as a church mouse with nothing to eat.

Her lawyers couldn't bail her out and Ye Mingyu found herself spending time in a detention cell. It didn't matter if she had money, she didn't have any connections she could use to escape this predicament.

Ye Mingyu was waiting for her lawyer's return when the prison guard came and called her attention.

"You have a visitor." He said with displeasure, as if he wasn't pleased to be the one delivering her the news.

"Who?" Ye Mingyu rose a slender brow. Who would want to see her right now?

It can't possibly be her ex-husband, right? She hadn't seen Han Zijun since their divorce was finalized. With no other choice, Ye Mingyu followed the guard who brought her to the visitation area. As soon as she saw who was waiting for her, her face scrunched into a deep scowl.

Feng Xue'er.

Of course, Feng Xue'er knew that. She knew that Cai Lin had dramatically changed after his family lost everything and he fell from grace. He didn't have the face to see anyone, but he couldn't easily give up on Ye Mingyu too.

"It still isn't enough reason for you to kill him, Ye Mingyu." This time, Feng Xue'er didn't bother to stop her tears from flowing.

"You are such an idiot." Ye Mingyu sneered back. "You're still clinging on to the person who never bothered to acknowledge you even after his death? I haven't seen nor met anyone as foolish as you."

Feng Xue'er had no words to refute any of that, because she knew what Ye Mingyu said was right. If only she could teach her heart how to unlove a person, but this traitorous heart of hers won't even budge. Perhaps now that Cai Lin was dead and the person behind it was in prison, Feng Xue'er would finally be able to accept this closure and start anew in her life.

"I'll see to it that you would spend the rest of your life behind the bars. You better be prepared to burn all that money you got from your ex-husband," were Feng Xue'er's parting words before turning her back on Ye Mingyu.

She could hear Ye Mingyu cursing her behind her back but she ignored her. Once she stepped out of the room, her whole body trembled as if she lost her strength. A pair of arms held her, keeping her from falling on the cold floor.

When Feng Xue'er lifted her gaze, she saw that it was Su Xiaofei. She broke down in tears and clung to Su Xiaofei for support. She was the last person Feng Xue'er expected to see right now, but it didn't matter anymore. She didn't care anymore.

After all this time, she could finally grieve over Cai Lin's death and allow herself to heal from this nightmare.
