Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement
Chapter 332: Forsaken by All
CHAPTER 332: CHAPTER 332: FORSAKEN BY ALL
Ye Ningwan was both holding on to the company’s power and letting Chen Tan continue searching for Zhan Hanjue’s whereabouts.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Leng not only caused trouble at the company but even brought the trouble home.
Ye Ningwan got up early in the morning and heard a commotion outside.
"What’s going on?" Ye Ningwan asked He.
He showed a difficult expression, "Mrs. Leng is here, and she brought several elders of the Zhan Family with her. She said... she said they want to confront you."
"Confront me? About what?" Ye Ningwan asked.
He shook his head.
Ye Ningwan had to get out of bed.
However, fearing that she might get too emotional once the argument started, she deliberately took a fetus-preserving medicine.
She hadn’t told anyone about her pregnancy yet, and Old Mrs. Zhan was still unconscious. Telling others was of no use, so she kept quiet.
To her surprise, when she met Mrs. Leng, she brought up Ye Ningwan’s unclear relationship with Xie Mingyu, and the fact that she had been missing for such a long time. Her sudden reappearance, implicated in Zhan Hanjue’s death, might well be a conspiracy.
"Ye Ningwan, you were missing before, but later someone saw you with that young master from the Xie Family in Tong City. They even said you two are engaged. Tell me, are you conspiring with outsiders, or is it Hanjue? Otherwise, why would Hanjue disappear after looking for you?"
"Mrs. Leng, you are truly slinging mud at me," Ye Ningwan reprimanded coldly.
Mrs. Leng snorted, "Whether I am slinging mud, you know very well. If I have wronged you, show your sincerity by giving up all your power in the Zhan Family, and then I will believe Hanjue’s death has nothing to do with you."
"Everything in the Zhan Family belongs to Hanjue. I will guard it for him until he comes back. You think I’ll give up just because you tell me to? What a joke."
"Whether it’s a joke, let the elders of the family judge, shall we?" Mrs. Leng snorted and called in the witness.
Ye Ningwan did not expect Wan Tianning to step out.
"Tianning?" Ye Ningwan looked at her in shock.
Wan Tianning pointed at Ye Ningwan and said, "It was her. I heard her conspiring with a man named Xie Mingyu to kill Zhan Hanjue, then return to the Zhan Family to slowly devour the Zhan Group’s business."
"This is outrageous. We should call the police, yes, call them right away." The other elders of the Zhan Family were indignant.
Ye Ningwan was both angry and furious: "Wan Tianning, even if we are not of the same father and mother, we are at least half-sisters. I went through so much to save you, and this is how you repay me?"
"What do you mean repay? Everything I say is true," Wan Tianning shouted.
Mrs. Leng loudly said, "Everyone, did you hear that? Even her own sister couldn’t stand it, pointing her out. How could this be false?"
Zhang Meimei, who came with Mrs. Leng, also shouted, "Moreover, I heard she’s been betrothed to that Xie Mingyu since childhood. She has been helping that Xie Mingyu with his illness for years; it’s been a conspiracy from the start. Not only did she use her cousin to treat Xie Mingyu’s illness, but she also wants to help Xie Mingyu seize her cousin’s family assets. Truly venomous."
Housekeeper Wu and Mrs. Chen initially did not believe Ye Ningwan could be such a person, but now, seeing even the sister she brought back accusing her, their expressions changed, and doubt crept in.
Mrs. Leng stood up again and said, "Think about it, what did she do after the Old Lady fainted? Did she actively try to save her? She stabilized the family so quickly, clearly wanting to secure the position of the Zhan Family head. Getting the family stable and then going to the company, what does a Chinese medicine doctor know about company matters, yet she forcibly involves herself, isn’t it to front for the Xie Family? She’s obviously preparing to turn the Zhan Group into the Xie Group!"
"Also, Madam is pregnant but hasn’t informed anyone in the family. This is what Madam has been eating lately; a lot of it is fetus-preserving medicine."
He suddenly stood up and also reported Ye Ningwan to everyone.
Ye Ningwan looked at He in shock.
She didn’t expect even He would betray her.
He didn’t dare to look her in the eyes, continued to lower his head, and murmured, "I was instructed by the young master to take good care of Madam. But the young master died unjustly, and Madam is pregnant and did not report it. I suspect that the child is not the young master’s. The young master and Madam haven’t seen each other for a long time; I cannot allow the young master to suffer such injustice."
"What are we waiting for? Call the police and arrest this murderous woman," the Zhan Family elders demanded.
Mrs. Leng said, "Second Uncle, there’s no need to rush. Hanjue’s whereabouts are currently unknown, and I suspect he was kidnapped by the Xie Family. Let’s lock this woman up first, pry some information out of the Xie Family, we must get Hanjue back first."
Her eagerness to rescue Zhan Hanjue made the Zhan Family elders trust her more.
Faced with the choice between a related aunt and a previously divorced wife with rumors of death, the aunt was more trustworthy in any case.
Ye Ningwan was confined.
However, the Zhan Family did not treat her too harshly.
Initially, they wanted to imprison her in a shabby room, but Housekeeper Wu and Mrs. Chen pleaded together, saying no matter what, she is still the Young Madam. At least in the Zhan Family, she shouldn’t be treated too harshly, or when the Old Lady and the young master return, they wouldn’t know how to explain.
Therefore, she was confined to her original room.
He brought her some food and was about to leave.
"He," Ye Ningwan called her: "Why are you doing this?"
She believed she had never wronged He, so why would she defame her?
He turned around, filled with grief and anger: "Madam, if you wholeheartedly loved the young master, I wouldn’t do this to you. But you’re pregnant and hiding it. The child isn’t the young master’s, right? The young master is missing, and you betrayed him. I couldn’t hide it for you, even if you treated me well, because the young master... will always be my young master."
Ye Ningwan looked at her in shock.
It turned out that He had always secretly loved Zhan Hanjue.
And she had never noticed.
"You like Zhan Hanjue?"
"Yes, I like the young master, such a good person. Why wouldn’t I like him? But you betrayed him; it’s unforgivable."
"He, whether you believe it or not, the child inside me belongs to Zhan Hanjue. I didn’t say anything because I hadn’t found the right time." Ye Ningwan gently touched her belly and told her softly.
He bit her lip: "I’m not a doctor; I don’t know if you’re telling the truth. But no matter what, as long as there’s a chance to save the young master, I have to try."
After speaking, He locked the door and left.
Ye Ningwan looked around her familiar room, filled with desolation.
Unexpectedly, there would be a day where she was betrayed by those closest to her.
Zhan Hanjue, where are you?
I really miss you!
