At the Hortford Hospital, Wang Qingyu was lying on the hospital bed, her eyes red and swollen from crying. Her two hands clutched the blanket tightly, and her expression looked as if she wanted to strangle someone to death.

She had just received Mu Feng’s reply. Although he was tactful, she knew that Third Master would not come to visit her.

Could it be that he had already started to suspect her?

Then, what about that incident in the hotel? Was that incident going to get exposed very soon?

Wang Qingyu knew that if that person was suspicious and was determined to investigate, there was nothing in this world that could be hidden from him!

Just as she was in despair, her phone suddenly rang. She looked at the caller ID and saw a long string of garbled codes.

It was this mysterious person again!

Perhaps there was still a chance to turn things around!

She sat up excitedly and answered the call. “Hello?”

A robotic-like voice that had been processed with a voice changer rang out from the other end of the line. “Do you want to become the most respected woman in the Empire Capital? I can help you.”

“Who are you?” Wang Qingyu asked warily.

“You don’t need to know who I am. You just need to answer me. Do you want to marry Xi Zhimo?”

“Of course, I want to! But, can you really help me?”

“I’ve already helped you deal with the surveillance footage of the hotel. You are the only woman who went up to the 32nd floor that night!”

“But as long as he gets someone to investigate, he will still find out.”

“Hahahaha! You don’t have to worry about these things.”

Upon hearing this ear-piercing laughter, Wang Qingyu suddenly felt a chill down her spine. She asked cautiously, “That night, you suddenly came to me and asked me to go to the 32nd floor. Now, you’re helping me. What’s your motive?”

“I don’t really have a motive. I just enjoy the feeling of turning a nobody into somebody noteworthy.”

“Is it really that simple?”

The man was very forthright. “It’s up to you whether you believe it or not. If you don’t need this opportunity, I can hang up now. After all, there are very few noteworthy people, but there are plenty of nobodies.”

Wang Qingyu almost shouted immediately, “No! I need this opportunity! Then what should I do now?”

“You just need to convince Xi Zhimo that you were the woman he had slept with that night. You don’t have to do anything else. I’ll contact you again.”

After ending the phone call, Wang Qingyu looked at the screen of her mobile phone, and a hint of ruthlessness appeared on her pale face.

She could not afford to lose the money, love, and honor of getting into the upper-class social circle of the Empire Capital that she had worked so hard to obtain!

It did not matter how big a price she would have to pay!

After Ye Si finished the crab feast, she said goodbye to Lu Chengsheng and went home.

As soon as she arrived at the door, Ye Changfeng and his wife pulled her to sit on the sofa. Qin Shiyu looked at her worriedly. “Sweetie, what’s come over you? Didn’t you like Third Master the most? Why did you suddenly take the initiative to break off the engagement? Didn’t you tell Mom last night that you were so happy that you couldn’t sleep?”

“That’s right. Sweetie, did you eat anything that disagreed with you?” Ye Changfeng added.

Ye Si looked at Ye Changfeng helplessly and said seriously, “Dad, there’s nothing wrong with me. I’ve thought it through suddenly and don’t like him anymore.”

After pausing in embarrassment for two seconds, Ye Changfeng said with a solemn face, “Nonsense! I’m your father. How can I not know who my precious beloved daughter likes? You’ve liked Third Master Xi since you were 15 years old. How could I not know that?”

Ye Si thought for a moment and finally told her parents the cruel truth that everyone in the upper-class social circle was talking about. She had kept her parents in the dark about this matter. “Dad, Mom, the rumors about Third Master and Wang Qingyu are true. I told you that they were false previously because I was afraid you would be sad and voice your objection.”

A sharp pain ripped through the couple’s hearts. The precious beloved daughter that they had held so dear had been suffering the pain that love brought!

Ye Mingchen, who was nearby, became absolutely furious when he heard his sister’s words. “Godammit! How blind must the Third Master be to like that village girl! I really want to beat him up… Cough! Cough! My dear sister, I’ve already said that Wang Qingyu looks like a deceptive and scheming person but you never listen to your second brother. To think that you have treated her so well and even treated her as your best friend. Pfft!”

Ye Mingxing stood on one side in silence. His deep eyes were glinting, and his hands were clenched into tight fists, revealing his well-defined knuckles.

Ye Si knew that although this big brother of hers didn’t talk much, his love for her was no less than that of her talkative second brother.

She looked at everyone with a bright smile and said, “Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Second Brother, don’t worry about me anymore. I’ve really thought it through now. Didn’t I dump him in public today? I’ve also helped everyone vent their anger by doing that.”

Ye Si continued, “Actually, Third Master didn’t do anything wrong. It is his prerogative to love whoever he wants. Just like how I dumped him today. That is also my prerogative.”
