Yu Meng replied with a soft "En". Ye Zichen turned around and prepared to go upstairs to look for his phone.

"Where did he go?"

Tan Yubai seemed to have an answer in his heart, he just wanted to hear it from Yu Meng herself.

"Fang Rui, she came to find me about the script, so I ate a meal along the way."

Yu Meng did not say Shang Hui out loud. She just didn't want to argue with Tan Yubai for the sake of such an insignificant person.

But a dispute seems inevitable.

Tan Yubai sighed, the disappointment in his tone made Yu Meng uncomfortable.

"When did you learn to lie?" He stood up from the sofa and looked at Yu Meng's back, "Turn around and look at me."

Yu Meng slowly turned around and stood in the middle of the stairs, looking down at Tan Yubai.

It was a familiar scene, as he had tried to hold his temper back when she had tried to find a lawyer to divorce him. He had hoped she would give him a satisfactory explanation.

Yu's heart ached at the thought of the past. She took a deep breath and didn't say a word of explanation.

Tan Yubai's face turned gloomy, his beautiful eyes were filled with a nameless fire.

"Who was at home last night?"

He was still waiting for her to say it.

Yu Meng could guess that Tan Yubai had already seen through everything, but it was precisely this point that made her feel disgusted. Even though she already knew the truth, she still pretended to be calm and force herself to admit it.

Of course, she didn't want to follow Tan Yubai's instructions, she only wanted to go against him.

"Just me." Yu Meng's expression was calm, her words had no trace of guilt in them at all.

Tan Yubai's patience was finally wearing thin.

He took a few steps forward, his gloomy face filled with doubt. He slowed down his speech and enunciated every word clearly.

"I'll ask you again, who did you let live here last night?"

Yu Meng looked at Tan Yubai, who was slowly revealing the anger in her heart. The more she couldn't hold it in, the calmer she seemed to become.

The atmosphere was heavy and oppressive. After a long while, Yu Meng finally spoke up, "Since you know about it, why are you asking me?"

Tan Yubai didn't think that Yu Meng would have such an indifferent attitude.

His face was white with anger, and he remembered the mess when he'd come home from the hospital this morning. He had seen men's stubble in the bathroom, and short hair.

He had been sitting on the sofa, and from yesterday to today, he hadn't been able to get in.

His stomach was burning. He slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm himself down. He didn't want to get angry with Yu Meng, and he also didn't want to turn his short time with her into a quarrel because of the misunderstanding.

He paused. "I want to hear your explanation."

Yu Meng was determined to fight Tan Yubai.

"I have nothing to explain."

Tan Yubai's eyes darkened, his fists clenched as he walked up the stairs. He stopped in front of Yu Meng, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp as he stared at her neck.

Then she raised her hand and snapped the chain around her neck.

The word "Shang" engraved in the middle of the storage ring completely cut off the last string in Tan Yubai's mind.

He could hardly believe that what he was facing was real.

Tan Yubai held onto the necklace, the corners of his mouth pulled into a smile, and laughed until his body was trembling.

"You really have nothing to explain."

Seeing that she had forgotten to pick the necklace, Yu Meng panicked. Shang Hui had forced her to wear it, she had actually forgotten to pick it!

This time, she really wanted to explain herself, but Tan Yubai refused to listen.

Suddenly, Yu Meng felt a pain in her wrist. She staggered down the stairs as the man dragged her down.

She staggered and fell a few times, but the man never stopped, throwing her heavily on the sofa.

The soft cushion hit her body, but Yu Meng still felt pain.

Yu Meng had never seen Tan Yubai this angry before. He was not soft-hearted to her at all.

The locket was thrown to the ground by Tan Yubai, and when it touched the hard floor, it made a tinkling sound. The man's raging eyes looked down on Yu Meng as he spoke through gritted teeth, "Just how many more things are you hiding from me?"

After saying this, Yu Meng's heart was filled with grievance.

She had a lot to hide from him, but that was only something he didn't want to worry about. He thought it was a lie about her betraying him.

Yu Meng slowly sat up from the sofa. She hugged her knees and sat at the corner of the sofa with her chin resting on her knees. She didn't say a word.

Her silence made Tan Yubai so angry that he had no place to go. In the end, he could only sit beside her and speak with a smile that was not a smile.

"Are you so lacking in men?"

These words were like a fuse, igniting Yu Meng's suppressed rage.

Her shock met his eyes, and very soon the shock in her eyes was replaced with sadness by the suspicion in his eyes.

Yu Meng said, "Yes, I'm already an old man and I need to vent both physically and mentally."

When she said this, she was on the verge of collapse.

Isn't Tan Yubai the same as well?

His heart violently trembled, unable to let go for a long time.

"You're lying, aren't you?"

Yu Meng suddenly laughed.

"The one who is asking is you, the one who suspects me is also you, because the other women can abandon me at any time is also you! The person who doesn't believe you now is still you! Tan Yubai, stop tormenting me! "

Tan Yubai was startled. He wanted to get closer to Yu Meng, but he quickly dodged his attempts.

Yu Meng had already moved to the corner, but her body was still shrinking.

Seeing her desperately trying to hide, Tan Yubai was unwilling to let her go.

The man suddenly leaned over and spread her legs to cover her body, blocking the glazed lights above the living room. In front of Yu Meng, it suddenly became much dimmer.

He pressed her face, forcing her to look at him.

"Did you and Shang Hui get into bed?"

This question was like a smoke bomb that exploded in Yu Meng's mind, releasing a misty fog that prevented her from seeing anything. The only thing that remained was the pain and anger she felt from being lost.

She stared at him, wishing she could find his heart in his eyes and see if it was fleshy, so effortless in hurting people.

Yu Meng's heart was filled with bitterness. Her eyes were wide open for not even half a second, and she was unable to stop the water from spilling out.

Tears rolled down from his eyes and onto the back of Tan Yubai's hand. It was like red-hot iron, branded into his heart.

Tan Yubai's body stiffened. He suddenly became flustered and tried to wipe Yu Meng's tears away, but the more he did so, the more tears seemed to flow.

Yu Meng's voice was hoarse and cold. "Tan Yubai, you really are a bastard."

Tan Yubai regretted the moment he felt Yu Meng's tears. It was only after he realized what was going on that he realized that her doubt was undoubtedly like a sharp knife stabbing into his heart.

Looking at her eyes which were filled with endless grief, Tan Yubai even had the heart to kill himself.

"I'm a bastard." He panicked from her tears, bent down and started to kiss her wildly. Yu Meng struggled to get rid of him as her face was turned to the side, her hands supporting her chest. With a powerful glare, Tan Yubai was kicked off the sofa and onto the ground.

Tan Yubai's waist happened to hit the corner of the table, causing him to gasp from the pain. He was unable to get up even after a long while.

When Yu Meng saw this, she hesitated for a few seconds before ignoring him.

She sat on the sofa and tidied her hair. Then, she stood up, buttoned her collar, and walked past Tan Yubai.

Tan Yubai raised his hand with a weak strength and grabbed Yu Meng's ankle.

"Don't go..." His voice was as weak as his strength.

They both had the same qualifications as he had for Yu Meng to stay.

's hand fell to the ground. The pain on his waist was just barely enough, and his stomach was churning again as it tortured his internal organs.

In the end, Tan Yubai's consciousness had almost blurred. He saw Yu Meng walk up the stairs and disappear around the corner of the second floor, then saw her wearing a jacket as she walked down the stairs.

He opened his mouth to call her name, but his voice was too soft for him to hear.

Yu Meng's eyes only flashed once at Tan Yubai. She did not dare to look at him again, so she avoided him and walked towards the door.

Of course she saw how weak he looked, as if he were suffering from a stomachache, and how miserable he looked with one hand clasped over his stomach.

As he was curled up on the ground, Yu Meng could not get over it after a single glance.

She forced herself to walk, forced herself to ignore him, and even walked out of the villa's courtyard, only then did she see the slippers that she still had on.

She hesitated for a long time before she went back to her shoes.

Tan Yubai's stomachache caused Yu Meng to suffer.

But when he had said such outrageous things, one of his questions could deny all the efforts she had made over the years. In this competition of love, she would always be the one to suffer defeat after defeat, while the other, who had been standing in the victor's seat all year round, would try once more to ignore him and learn to cherish herself more and more.

In all these years, she had never done it again. In this relationship, she could no longer afford to gamble. There was no turning back, so how could she choose?

For more than ten minutes, Remnant Dream sat at the entrance and changed her shoes, but in the end, she still wore her slippers on her feet, just like how she had forced herself not to care all these years, but she still couldn't put them down in the end.

When Yu Meng returned to the living room, Tan Yubai had already fainted.

She reached for his hand. It was so cold that she could not help but shiver.

She lightly called out, "Tan Yubai."

No response.

Her voice grew heavier and she shook his shoulder.

Still lifeless.

She helped him sit up and shook him.

However, from start to finish, Tan Yubai seemed to have died and did not give Yu Meng any response.

She looked at his calm and pale face for a long time. Finally, hot tears fell from her eyes as she buried her head in his arms and sobbed silently.

In the end, all that remained was willingly.

At this point, she finally understood how deep this man's roots in her heart were.

All pretense was just a lie.
