CHAPTER 353: UNSETTLED MIND

Ye Feimo said calmly, "It’s in the past. It doesn’t matter who was right or wrong. Even if Mommy did it, it doesn’t matter."

Wen Nuan looked at him. Ye Feimo was a very contradictory person. Sometimes you really didn’t know what he was thinking. He was too hard to understand. He might not even know what he was doing or thinking himself.

Such a big deal was just brushed over so lightly.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Ye Feimo asked her.

Wen Nuan shook her head and looked out the window. *What was the real reason Mommy would go after Han Bi?* Ye Feimo seemed to know what she was thinking and said, "Actually, it’s very simple. Mommy approved of her at first because she was pure and self-disciplined. But later, she became decadent and went with the flow. Mommy was afraid I would get hurt and that I wouldn’t be able to let her go, so she used this extreme method to make me see it and completely lose all hope."

*Is it really that simple?* Wen Nuan wondered.

She suddenly covered her eye. "It’s so tiring looking at people with just one eye."

It was very uncomfortable. Her cheek didn’t hurt anymore, but her eye felt hot. She felt fine, but it was just hard to look at things with one eye. Ye Feimo pressed down on her hand. "Rest for a bit. I’ll go take care of the discharge papers later and pick you up to go home."

Wen Nuan lay down to rest, and a big weight was lifted from her heart. Seeing him sitting next to her, Wen Nuan smiled and said, "Feimo, Mom and Dad and Mommy went to get tea. Why don’t you go too?"

"I’ll stay here and keep you company."

"You don’t have to. Sister Xiaojing will be here soon. You can go have tea and chat with them. Just come back later to do the discharge papers."

Ye Feimo thought for a moment, gave her a few instructions, and left the room. He called Cheng Anya. They were at a cafe across from the hospital. Not long after Ye Feimo left, Cai Xiaojing arrived.

"My dear girl, who did you offend now?"

"Why do you make it sound like I’m a troublemaker? I didn’t offend anyone. Feimo did. Did it make the news?" Wen Nuan asked anxiously.

Cai Xiaojing nodded. "It’ll definitely be on the front page tomorrow."

"Who was that woman?"

"Du Yueying, the little princess of the Du family. She is very spoiled. The Du family from the north of the city probably won’t let this go," Cai Xiaojing said. "Mr. Ye was too ruthless. I heard Du Yueying has a fracture and a concussion. If she sues him, Mr. Ye might have to..."

"Then what should we do?"

"Don’t you know the doctor did an injury report?" Cai Xiaojing said with a smile. "Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious. If the Du family sues Mr. Ye, you can also sue her. Both sides will get hurt. That girl is so delicate. How could the Du family let her go to jail?"

Wen Nuan was still a little worried. It was a serious matter if they were talking about jail. It seemed this person was not to be messed with.

"Don’t worry, it’s fine. Don’t worry too much. It will definitely be settled out of court," Cai Xiaojing comforted her. "The news of your injury can’t be hidden, but I’ll release a statement saying that it was a result of Mr. Ye fighting with the bodyguards. Whatever the reports say doesn’t matter."

Wen Nuan was a little tired. Cai Xiaojing didn’t bother her and sat in the room, reading a magazine to keep her company. About an hour later, Cheng Anya, Second Young Master Ye, and Wen Nuan’s parents returned.

The few of them were talking and laughing. Cai Xiaojing greeted them one by one and woke Wen Nuan up. Ye Feimo went to handle the paperwork. Third Young Master Ye had something to discuss with Second Young Master Ye, so they went out to talk. Cheng Anya drove them home.

This was the first time Wen Nuan’s parents had come to Wen Nuan and Ye Feimo’s home. The house was very clean and cozy. Wen Nuan’s parents liked it very much. The loft-like staircase also made them laugh.

The elders sat in the house for a while, discussing that they would all go out for dinner together and have a get-together when Wen Nuan’s injuries were better. When Ye Feimo returned, Cheng Anya asked, "How did you handle it?"

"The Du family wants to sue me for assault," Ye Feimo said calmly.

Wen Nuan’s mom was very worried. Cheng Anya said, "It’s a small matter. It’ll be fine. Whether they can win the lawsuit is another question. This will most likely be settled out of court. There won’t be any big problems."

Wen Nuan didn’t sleep well. She had one nightmare after another. She dreamed of a blood-stained butterfly turning into a human and flying toward her. She suddenly woke up in a cold sweat. Ye Feimo hugged her. "Did you have a nightmare?"

Wen Nuan’s chest rose and fell heavily. It took her a while to calm down. "It’s nothing."

It was just a nightmare. It was a normal thing.

Ye Feimo poured her a glass of water. Wen Nuan looked at the clock beside her. It was already evening.

"Have you eaten yet?"

"I ordered takeout. Lie down for a bit longer. You can get up to eat later."

Wen Nuan nodded. She was tired all over. She lay down and fell asleep again.

Du Di missed the phone call. By the time he found out that Du Yueying was injured and in the hospital, she had already had surgery and was clamoring to sue Ye Feimo. Her parents were traveling and didn’t know about this yet. The old master of the Du family was furious and ordered Du Di to come back immediately to get justice for his sister.

Du Di ordered the pilot to wait, and he flew back to A City that night.

At the Du family mansion, as soon as Du Di got off the plane, the old master called him to his study. The old master was in his seventies with gray hair, but he was very energetic and tough. At first glance, he looked like a strict old man.

"Grandpa, let me look into this first."

"What’s there to look into? Look at how Yueying is in the hospital. Her bone was twisted and broken. She’s a delicate girl. How could Ye Feimo be so ruthless? He bullied my granddaughter. Does he think our Du family is to be messed with?" The old master had always spoiled his grandson and granddaughter. This time, he was serious. Du Di calmly soothed the old master and ordered his bodyguards to be brought in.

"Speak!" One simple word, but it was filled with coldness. The handsome and gentle man’s eyebrows were filled with cold ruthlessness that made people not dare to look him in the eyes. He was a man with great power, and just one look could make people tremble in fear.

The bodyguard didn’t dare to hide anything and recounted everything that happened, including what happened on the plane. When they talked to the old master, they only mentioned what happened at the airport, not on the plane. But they didn’t dare to hide anything from Du Di, or the consequences would be terrifying.

Du Di’s eyes dangerously narrowed. "You said Miss hit who?"

"Her name is Wen Nuan. She’s an actress from Anning International. I heard she has a very close relationship with Mr. Ye. So as soon as they got off the plane, Mr. Ye saw that Wen Nuan’s face was injured and hit our Miss," the bodyguard said.

Du Di’s fist clenched slightly. "How badly was she injured?"

"Miss has a broken right hand. Her other injuries aren’t too serious."

"I asked about Wen Nuan. How badly was *she* injured?" Du Di said word for word, his voice as cold as ice.
