Chapter 112: No idea about the current situation

Yu YueLuo sat in the coffee shop, sipping her coffee, but her eyes kept darting around, searching for a certain figure.Not far away, inside a parked car, her lover sat watching the coffee shop intently.

When Yu YueLuo learned about the situation, her first instinct was to notify her lover. After all, this was something too important for her to handle alone. As a woman, she couldn't possibly resolve such a matter alone.

More importantly, having her lover here gave her peace of mind.

The anxiety within her grew as the person she was waiting for still hadn't appeared, leaving her increasingly uneasy.

That photograph haunted her like a devil's curse, tightly wrapped around her heart. She was terrified that one day, that person would fully expose the photo.

If that happened, it wouldn't just ruin her---her daughter would be dragged down with her!

The coffee shop was bustling with people, but Yu YueLuo still couldn't find the person she was looking for.

Suddenly, her phone rang, and she quickly grabbed it to check.

"Madam, it seems like you didn't quite understand what I said yesterday. My meaning was for you to come alone, wasn't it?"

Yu YueLuo's heart skipped a beat as she read the message. Quickly, she replied.

"I am alone! If you're here at the café, you'll see I'm sitting alone!"

"Hmm, Madam, it seems you're not really interested in doing business with me. But that's alright. I'm sure plenty of people would love to see your exciting photos."

The person clearly wasn't interested in continuing the conversation.

Yu YueLuo nearly choked upon reading that message.

"Wait! I'll send him away. Will that be enough?"

"Madam, you're quite lacking in business integrity. Without trust, is there really any point in continuing?"

"I'm sorry! I apologize. But those photos are crucial to me---please, I'm begging you!"

Never had Yu YueLuo lowered herself to beg someone like this; what was more, she didn't even know who the person was.

She grabbed her phone and called her lover, speaking anxiously,

"You need to leave immediately! He knows you're here!"

"Huh? He knows I'm here? How?"

The man clenched his phone tightly, his eyes scanning the surroundings, looking for anyone suspicious.

But Yu YueLuo's urgent voice pushed him to leave immediately. He didn't dare to gamble on whether this was true, so he drove away in his car.

Once the vehicle disappeared from sight, Yu YueLuo sent another message to the person, but it was like a stone sinking into the ocean---there was no reply.

Yu YueLuo's face turned pale, and she collapsed weakly onto the sofa.

She dared not even imagine the consequences if things spiraled out of control. It wouldn't just be the Lee family; even the Yu family would abandon her because of this. Then, Lee Tian could divorce her openly, and when that time came, she would lose everything!

Her body trembled, her pupils shrank, and she pressed her hands to her head as if trying to keep it from falling off.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of footsteps approaching, and someone seemed to have sat down across from her.

Yu YueLuo instinctively raised her head, and when she saw who it was, her mouth fell open in shock, her expression filled with disbelief.

"Han... Han HuMing?!"

"Madam Lee, how are you?"

HuMing greeted her with a wave as if he were meeting an old friend.

"What are you doing here?"

She knew this boy all too well. Her daughter and he were to be engaged before.

From the beginning, she had never supported the marriage. However, Lee Tian needed the Han family's influence to back up the Lee family, so she reluctantly agreed to let her daughter get close to HuMing.

Later, when HuMing's true identity was revealed, she immediately pushed Lee Tian to replace the person for the engagement. After all, her daughter had been promised to the Han family's real young master, not to Han HuMing.

In a way, Li Yue's decision to break off the engagement had been influenced by her.

And as time went on, she knew she had made the right choice.

Her daughter preferred Han ShuYi, and Han HuMing was destined to be discarded.

Thinking of this, her eyes grew impatient.

Already frustrated by the photos, Yu YueLuo was now even more irritated seeing someone she didn't want to deal with right in front of her. Naturally, her mood was sour.

HuMing, hearing her tone, merely raised his head. He wasn't bothered by her attitude in the least.

"I just happened to run into you Madam Lee, so I came over to say hello."

"Then you can leave now," Yu YueLuo waved her hand dismissively as if she were trying to shoo him away.

But HuMing stroked his chin, a troubled expression appearing on his face.

"Madam Lee, weren't you the one who asked me to come? And now you're rushing me off so quickly? Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"I asked you to come? When did I ever ask you to come?"

Yu YueLuo's tone was harsh as she glared at HuMing. But when she met their together, the words she was about to say froze in her throat.

Suddenly, her pupils shrank sharply, and a look of fear washed over her face.

"Wait... you're the one who sent me those photos?!"

"Who would have thought that Madam Lee, who always presents herself as such a refined lady, would be doing something this wild behind the scenes? Strolling around the streets in nothing but lingerie and a leather coat---and then there's the master-slave play in the hotel. I doubt most people could even imagine playing like that."

HuMing's lips curled into a smirk, the smile full of mockery.

Yu YueLuo lunged forward, grabbed onto his sleeve, and growled,

"Give me the photos! What you're doing is illegal, you know that?!"

"Oh, I know," HuMing replied casually. "But so what? I've got the Han family behind me. What do you have?"

"Don't try to tell me your so-called family will step in to protect you if those photos get out."

His words were like a sharp dagger, stabbing straight into Yu YueLuo's heart.

But she still wasn't ready to give up and tried to threaten him once more,

"You're nothing but a dog raised by the Han family. Why would they risk souring their relationship with the Lee family over this?"

"Hah? Yu YueLuo, has something gone wrong with your head?" HuMing tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table.

"Last time, the whole Lee Tian incident already pissed off my father. If Lee Tian hadn't made some serious concessions, do you think the Lee family would still be doing so well?"

At this point, HuMing showed no respect, calling her by her full name.

Only now did Yu YueLuo fully realize she was the one with her back against the wall. She could no longer continue treating HuMing as some clueless kid. Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Yu YueLuo, I told you before I came, you don't seem serious about making this deal. And now it's clear---you really have no idea about your current situation."

HuMing leaned back and crossed his legs as a waiter set a cup of coffee down in front of him.

"Take a guess. What do you think Lee Tian would do if those photos and videos were to be leaked?"

Only one answer appeared in her mind:

'He would sever all ties with me and then paint himself as the victim to maximize his own gains!'"
