The Wealthy and Influential Fiancé has the Ability to Read Mind
Extra 7
At the beginning of another year, Ye Shuyan’s life, apart from work and Tang Nuan, added some strange elements.
He was working hard to increase Wen Xingchuan’s workload to prevent him from going to his mother-in-law’s house to butter her up.
He was replying to the occasional rescue messages from Xie Feizhe, helping him pursue Tang Xing.
It was unclear how Xie Feizhe was approaching Tang Xing, but she showed no interest in him at all. His path to becoming Ye Shuyan’s brother-in-law was still long and arduous.
Yet, he often asked Ye Shuyan for advice on how to pursue her.
Tang Nuan came out of the bathroom and couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of Ye Shuyan staring blankly at his phone, “What’s he thinking? Isn’t he afraid you’ll give him bad advice?”
Ye Shuyan wrapped his arms around her and sighed, “He’ll just laugh at me.”
Tang Nuan: …
Did he dare to ask for advice after all?
Ye Shuyan buried his face in her neck and groaned, “I hope neither of them succeeds.” Then I would be the only son-in-law of the Tang family.
However, that wish was clearly unrealistic. Before long, Wen Xingchuan came rushing in to ask for leave.
In reality, Wen Xingchuan came running to ask for leave, looking almost jubilant despite his usually aloof demeanor, “Yue Yue is pregnant. I need to accompany her to the hospital.”
Ye Shuyan: …
Isn’t this just showing off?
[Sure enough, good things come to those who wait. In the end, I still managed to catch the biggest fish, hahaha.]
Ye Shuyan ignored him and expressionlessly headed to the meeting.
In any case, once the pregnancy was confirmed, Wen Xingchuan and Tang Yue returned to their lightning-fast pace: proposal, engagement, marriage. All completed within three months while Tang Yue’s belly was still small.
On the wedding day, Wen Xingchuan finally heard Ye Shuyan call him “brother-in-law,” which made him beam with joy.
Tang Nuan didn’t even need to ask Ye Shuyan. She could tell he had some outrageous thoughts brewing. The way he was beaming, she suspected at least a third of his happiness was because he had become the brother-in-law of the boss.
On the way home after the wedding, Ye Shuyan fell into deep thought.
At first, Tang Nuan was worried about how he would handle things at the company while Wen Xingchuan and Tang Yue went on their honeymoon, but then she heard him say, “Do you think I should transfer Wen Xingchuan to the European branch? He could take Tang Yue with him.”
Tang Nuan almost laughed herself to death. He was actually thinking of sending Tang Yue along too.
“Stop messing around. My sister studied domestic law. She won’t be able to build a career abroad.”
Ye Shuyan let out a long sigh, leaning pitifully against Tang Nuan, “Wen Xingchuan found a strong backing.”
Tang Nuan reached out to pat his head, “You have one too. I’ll help you with my sister, and then you can threaten him with overtime!”
Ye Shuyan immediately sat up straight, wrapped his arms around her, and smiled, “You’re the best, wife.”
Tang Nuan also laughed. Who would have thought that the dignified chairman and President of the Ye Group would be troubled by the matter of being a “brother-in-law”?
After getting home, they first changed their clothes and then busied themselves in the study for a while. Aunt He called them for dinner.
“Bird’s nest soup?”
Aunt He smiled, “Aren’t you coughing a bit? This is perfect for nourishing the yin and moistening the lungs.”
Tang Nuan drank a bowl and then went to bed early with Ye Shuyan as they were exhausted from Tang Yue’s wedding.
Later that night, for some reason, Tang Nuan slept very restlessly, suddenly waking up from a nightmare.
Hearing her stir, Ye Shuyan groggily opened his eyes and gently patted her back, asking, “What’s wrong?”
Tang Nuan burrowed into his arms, “I dreamed I jumped off a building…” Her tone still carried a hint of lingering fear.
Ye Shuyan opened his eyes wide.
Then he heard Tang Nuan continue, “I dreamed about the things in the book.” She looked up at him, “Brother Shuyan, I’ve been thinking and there’s a question that haunts me. The events described in the book about us, though the reasons are different, the objectively occurring events are the same. For example, we still got married, and you left the Ye Group… Does that mean I would still jump off a building?”
Ye Shuyan tightened his embrace and leaned down to kiss her forehead, “Stop talking nonsense. Why would you jump off a building?”
But Tang Nuan still felt troubled. “I’ve actually always found it strange. Even if I were as extreme and distant as in that book, I would never so easily jump off a building to commit suicide.”
That night, for some reason, thoughts she hadn’t entertained in a long time came rushing back. “What was the purpose of that book appearing in my mind? If it was just a figment of my imagination, then why do you seem to have mind-reading abilities?”
“So, is it possible that for some reason, I would still jump off a building?”
“Stop saying that.” Ye Shuyan comforted her, “No matter why that book appeared, the reality is already completely different now. What reason do you have to jump off a building?”
Tang Nuan thought it over and truly couldn’t find any reason for herself to jump. Maybe she was just really tired and she eventually fell back asleep in the early hours.
Ye Shuyan initially wanted her to take a day off, but the next morning, Tang Nuan seemed fine again, and they both went to the company as usual.
Aunt He, hearing that she had a nightmare, made donkey-hide gelatin soup for dinner. “Donkey-hide gelatin is good for anxiety, insomnia, dizziness, and palpitations. Drink it and you’ll sleep well.”
Tang Nuan drank quite a bit and then started a video call.
She took her phone to the bedroom, and all the group members of “Loving Family” except for Tang Ben, who was on a plane studying abroad, turned on their cameras.
Since she was pregnant, they didn’t go far for their honeymoon, opting for comfort instead.
At first, Tang Nuan chatted happily, but for some reason, she gradually became irritated, especially seeing the faces on the video, she suddenly found them all repulsive.
They had abandoned her and they didn’t love her at all. They loved Tang Xing more. Everything now felt fake and hypocritical… Why did they expect her forgiveness after everything they had done?
Hearing Tang Nuan’s distressed thoughts, Ye Shuyan, who was in the study handling documents, quickly got up and ran to the bedroom, “Nuan Nuan!”
When he met Tang Nuan’s gaze, he was momentarily stunned. Her eyes were cold and even filled with disdain, and her tone was icy. “Aren’t you busy with work? Why are you here?”
[Go comfort your first love, your white moonlight. She needs you more than I do. I’m just an ornament…]
“Tang Nuan!” Ye Shuyan rushed over and shook her urgently, “What’s wrong with you?”
Tang Nuan felt dizzy and nauseous, suddenly pushing him away and rushing to the bathroom.
Ye Shuyan helped her with her back while simultaneously calling for the family doctor.
Tang Nuan was so weak from vomiting that she was eventually carried back to bed by Ye Shuyan. Even without strength, she still struggled to push his hands away.
[Don’t touch me! Disgusting!]
Ye Shuyan frowned and released her. He picked up the phone that had been ringing on the table; it was Shen Jinhua calling, clearly having noticed something was off during the video chat.
Ye Shuyan answered, “Mom…”
[Ah, are you pretending to care about me again? No, I don’t want to see them, tell them to leave!]
Ye Shuyan frowned, “Mom, there’s a bit of an emergency here. I’ll talk to you later.”
Just then, the family doctor arrived, and Ye Shuyan quickly asked him to check on Tang Nuan.
Fortunately, Tang Nuan didn’t resist the doctor.
Dr. Zhang examined her but didn’t find anything specific, “Nausea and palpitations might be due to something she ate. A sudden change in temperament?” He looked puzzled, clearly baffled by her behavior, “This isn’t a novel; how could her temperament change so drastically?”
Ye Shuyan thought of that book but didn’t say anything further. The fewer people who knew about this, the better. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if they were treated as some kind of oddity.
Dr. Zhang suggested, “You should go to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up tomorrow. I can’t find anything wrong here.”
Ye Shuyan nodded, and after Tang Nuan fell asleep, he called Shen Jinhua back.
Shen Jinhua had indeed noticed that something was off with Tang Nuan, but Ye Shuyan wasn’t sure how to explain it, so he just said he had made her angry to brush it off.
In the early hours of the morning, Tang Nuan woke up again with her heart racing, but she had at least returned to normal. She vaguely remembered what had happened and felt scared. “Ye Shuyan, am I unable to escape the plot? Is the plot forcing me into this?”
“How could I ever hate my family or resent you?”
“Don’t worry. It won’t happen,” Ye Shuyan reassured her, holding her close. “We’ll go to the hospital tomorrow for a check-up. The storylines or plots are just nonsense.”
“But you have mind-reading abilities,” Tang Nuan said, increasingly anxious. “Isn’t it possible that I’m being controlled by the storyline?”
Suddenly, she sat up straight, “No way! I won’t let myself be controlled by a plot!”
Ye Shuyan gently stroked her hair, “That’s right. You’ve never accepted your fate, and neither have I. That so-called storyline has already been completely altered by us, so there’s nothing to fear.”
“We’ll go to the hospital first thing tomorrow.”
Tang Nuan nodded in agreement.
However, when she woke up in the morning, she felt much better and couldn’t sense anything was wrong at all.
Ye Shuyan had planned to go directly to the hospital, but Tang Nuan said, “Why don’t we wait until there’s a real problem? I was fine all day yesterday.”
Ye Shuyan thought about it and realized that since Tang Nuan had been perfectly normal during the day, going for a check-up now likely wouldn’t yield any results. It would be better to wait until a real episode occurred, perhaps then they could figure out how the storyline was influencing her thoughts.
However, Tang Nuan’s appetite still wasn’t great. She saw the bird’s nest porridge in the bowl and dished out a small portion for herself, pushing the rest towards Aunt He. “You eat this, don’t let it go to waste.”
Aunt He smiled and nodded.
After finishing their meal, the two of them went to the office together. Ye Shuyan said he didn’t believe anything was wrong, but he felt tense and didn’t let her out of his sight.
Though Tang Nuan had seemed fine all day yesterday, both of them thought any episode would happen at night. However, just as they entered the office, Tang Nuan started to feel agitated again. Ye Shuyan quickly suggested taking her to the hospital, but she snapped back angrily, glaring at him coldly. “I’ll go by myself. Don’t follow me!”
Seeing the cold disdain in her eyes, Ye Shuyan didn’t dare to provoke her and let her go ahead. He waited until he felt she had entered the elevator before hurriedly chasing after her.
When he reached the elevator, he was stunned to see it going up.
But focusing intently, he realized that Tang Nuan was indeed thinking of going to the parking lot…
Realization struck him, and his expression changed dramatically.
The people in the president’s office had never seen Ye Shuyan in such a panic. He practically shouted at his secretary, “Immediately notify the logistics department to stop that elevator!”
Saying this, he rushed upstairs, taking another employee’s elevator to go up.
When the elevator reached the fortieth floor, he saw that his private elevator had already stopped, but there was no one inside.
Ye Shuyan felt a chill run down his spine. Without hesitation, he rushed up to the rooftop and, sure enough, saw Tang Nuan walking toward the edge of the building.
His heart nearly stopped and shouted, “Tang Nuan!!!”
Perhaps his voice was too filled with fear, as Tang Nuan turned around, frowning. “Why are you here? I told you I’d go by myself.”
Ye Shuyan forced himself to stay calm. “You dropped something. I thought it was yours, so I came to bring it to you.” He cautiously approached her.
Tang Nuan didn’t sense anything amiss and walked toward him.
In an instant, Ye Shuyan grabbed her tightly, nearly collapsing to his knees. “Nuan Nuan, you scared me to death.”
Tang Nuan seemed uncomfortable, filled with disgust and rejection, “What are you doing?”
Ignoring her feelings, Ye Shuyan held on to her tightly. “I’m going with you to the hospital.”
Tang Nuan struggled, “There’s no need. The hospital is right there, isn’t it?”
Following her gaze, Ye Shuyan saw the hospital far in the distance and broke into a cold sweat. He hugged her even tighter. If she walked over there, she would definitely fall.
With an unusual surge of strength, Ye Shuyan wouldn’t let go. He pulled the struggling Tang Nuan down, and though she was completely resistant, she didn’t scream out loud, likely out of concern for appearances.
Thinking quickly, he called for Xiao Qi to accompany them and drove them to the hospital himself.
Thanks to Xiao Qi, Tang Nuan maintained a facade of politeness, no matter how much she disliked the situation.
When they arrived at the hospital, Tang Nuan was still not fully awake, but she behaved relatively well in front of the doctor. Ye Shuyan briefly touched on the unusual behavior, omitting details about the book.
The doctor observed Tang Nuan and noted, “It seems like a sudden change in feelings and emotions, with distortions of space, hallucinations, and delusions… This sounds a bit like someone has ingested a hallucinogen.”
Ye Shuyan had prepared himself for the possibility that the cause would be hard to determine, but he hadn’t expected the doctor to offer such a diagnosis, “Hallucinogen?”
The doctor calculated the time, “About forty minutes to two hours ago. You haven’t taken any strange medication, right?”
Ye Shuyan shook his head. “She only had a small bowl of bird’s nest today…” As he spoke, he suddenly paused, realizing that Tang Nuan’s issues seemed to have started after she drank the bird’s nest.
Just then, his phone rang and it was Aunt He.
He answered to hear her urgent voice. “Sir, there seems to be a problem with the bird’s nest at home. I felt strange after drinking it.”
Ye Shuyan instantly understood, “Aunt He, take a taxi to the hospital!”
He then called Zhu Bo, “Where did the bird’s nest at home come from?”
Zhu Bo thought for a moment before responding, “It was a gift from Mrs. Xie during Madam’s birthday, along with some ejiao.”
And there was the ejiao…
Right, last night, when Tang Nuan was feeling terrible, she hadn’t eaten the bird’s nest but had consumed the ejiao.
Tang Nuan’s birthday was in March, and since it was her first birthday after their marriage, he celebrated it with her at the Ye family’s old residence.
When Ye Zhenghong invited him back, Ye Shuyan had requested that the old residence be transferred into his name. They complied, and while he wouldn’t make things too difficult for them, he allowed Old Madam Ye and Ye Zhenghong to stay temporarily. However, if they ever displeased him, he could easily kick them out.
Although they didn’t often return, he still needed to assert his authority over the property.
Thus, Tang Nuan’s birthday party was held there, and indeed, many people attended…
Ye Shuyan quickly gathered his thoughts. “Get the bird’s nest and ejiao sent to the hospital immediately!”
After hanging up, he contacted Xie Feiming. “What gift did your wife give on Nuan Nuan’s birthday?”
Xie Feiming paused before answering, “I remember it was some health supplements?”
“Could you please find out?” Ye Shuyan requested, “Including the quantities.”
Sensing something off in his tone, Xie Feiming quickly contacted his wife. Soon after, she personally called Ye Shuyan back. “I gave bird’s nest and ejiao. I like to take care of my skin, and when I was in Dong’e County for business, I came across some authentic ejiao, so I brought back quite a bit along with some bird’s nest I had saved up. I thought it would be a nice combination. Is there a problem?”
“I’ve given it to several other ladies as well.”
Ye Shuyan confirmed the quantities with her.
Mrs. Xie quickly asked, “Is there really something wrong?”
Ye Shuyan didn’t hide the truth, “It may not necessarily be your items that are problematic. It’s just that Nuan Nuan ate the bird’s nest recently and has been feeling unwell. We came to the hospital today, and the doctor said it resembles symptoms from ingesting a hallucinogen.”
“Hallucinogen?!” Mrs. Xie was startled and broke into a cold sweat. “Is this happening at Gu family’s hospital? Just wait, I’ll come over to check.”
By the time Mrs. Xie arrived, Zhu Bo had also shown up. “Sir, all the bird’s nest and ejiao are here.”
Mrs. Xie immediately exclaimed, “I didn’t send that much!”
Ye Shuyan handed the items over to the doctor. “My wife developed these symptoms after consuming these two items. Please help investigate.”
He turned to Zhu Bo and instructed, “Stay here with Madam. If the hospital finds any issues, call the police immediately.” Turning to Mrs. Xie, he added, “I’m sorry, I don’t have time to attend to you. Nuan Nuan is currently rejecting everyone…”
Mrs. Xie understood. “You hurry and take care of things. It’s fine, I’ll wait with Zhu Bo. If there is a real problem, I will cooperate with the police.”
Ye Shuyan thanked her and headed to the patient’s room.
At that moment, Tang Nuan was sipping water under the doctor’s advice, her movements appearing a bit sluggish. There was no antidote for hallucinogens, the best course of action was to hydrate her and keep her calm, allowing her to rest.
If the dosage wasn’t too high, she would return to normal within seventy-two hours.
Ye Shuyan called for Shen Jinhua and the others to help look after Tang Nuan, while he drove directly to the old residence.
Previously, he and Tang Nuan had been trapped in their own interpretations of the storyline, but now that the doctor had provided a diagnosis, he realized that things weren’t as mystical as they seemed but rather man-made.
The only one capable of such a reckless act could only be Jiang Miao who could do the unthinkable.
Ye Shuyan had just gone through a lot and couldn’t afford to wait for the hospital’s results. He needed to confirm things more quickly. If it really was her…
The butler at the old residence was startled when he saw Ye Shuyan rush in with a grim expression, “Young Master.”
Ye Shuyan glanced around, his voice icy. “Where’s Jiang Miao?”
Sun Wanqiu, sensing his mood, quickly retreated to the kitchen. The butler replied, “In the second young master’s room.”
Ye Shuyan strode up the stairs, and as he ascended, he could hear Jiang Miao’s sharp voice. “…Ye Shuchen! You actually found a woman?! And you want me to pay for it! Do you have any shame left?”
Ye Shuchen’s tone was lazy and indifferent, “I didn’t ask you to pay. Is on my credit card, isn’t it?”
“Isn’t your credit card what I’m paying off?” Jiang Miao’s emotions were clearly on the verge of breaking, her voice growing sharper. “Is this really about paying off a credit card now?”
“Ye Shuchen, how have you turned into this? It’s one thing to drink and neglect your responsibilities, but now you’re finding women! It’s disgusting!”
Ye Shuchen’s tone was filled with impatience, “Can you stop whining? This is who I’ve always been. You know that, right?”
“If you can’t stand it, just get a divorce,” Ye Shuchen scoffed. “Or should I earn some more money? Isn’t the third season of ‘Mutual Pursuit’ starting soon? Should we go on together?”
“Ye Shuchen!!!!” At the mention of that, Jiang Miao’s voice pierced through the air, almost painful to hear.
During the previous battle for the family inheritance, Jiang Miao had been praised as a lucky star and a virtuous wife, but as Ye Shuchen fell from grace, she was labeled as an ambitious yet foolish troublemaker.
Online, they compared Jiang Miao and Tang Nuan from head to toe, using degrading and even vicious words against her, making her afraid to face the internet.
“Or if there are rumors of our relationship breaking down,” Ye Shuchen seemed to know her weaknesses, sneering, “What would the netizens say?”
“Ye Shuchen, I’m done with you!” Jiang Miao interrupted him, followed by a loud clattering sound. The servants downstairs remained unfazed, clearly used to this kind of commotion.
With a voice filled with hatred, Jiang Miao continued, “Ye Shuchen, you’re living off me, using my money to support other women. Do you have no conscience?”
Ye Shuchen replied coldly, “Living off you? Even as a playboy, I’m still wealthier than you. Who do you think caused me to end up like this?”
“I was a good second young master of the Ye family, but you, for your pitiful vanity, forced me to compete with my big brother, and even teamed up with your father and brother to force me. If it weren’t for your family, how could I have fallen so quickly!”
“Who has caused me to have nothing now?”
“Jiang Miao, let me tell you, in this life, either you will support me, or I will go online to expose the truth of how loving we were in the past and how we are now apart. As long as you are not afraid of being ridiculed and cursed when you go out.”
“Tang Nuan is now President Ye’s wife. She has no background and can climb to that position. She is capable! My big brother is not only capable but also loyal. Tang Nuan deserves it. And you, even a worthless second-generation playboy like me look down on you. How can you compare with Tang Nuan? Why don’t you look in the mirror!”
“Ye Shuchen!” Jiang Miao’s voice was about to break, but there seemed to be no other way except to be furious. “Just wait, you will all get your retribution. Tang Nuan, Ye Shuyan, and you, you will all die a miserable death!!!”
“Why will there be a miserable death?” Ye Shuyan pushed open their door.
Hearing the sound like ice chips, the two people who were wrestling with each other looked towards the door at the same time. A tall and straight man was standing there, with an unprecedented coldness on his face.
The two of them subconsciously let go. Jiang Miao turned around awkwardly and fixed her hair, feeling so pent up that she wanted to explode.
Ye Shuchen didn’t care. He was now desperate and willing to work for Ye Shuyan. “Brother, why are you here?”
Ye Shuyan ignored him and walked straight towards Jiang Miao, standing within three meters of her. “You said you want us to die a miserable death. How do you want us to die a miserable death?”
Jiang Miao no longer had the arrogance he had just now. Although he felt embarrassed, he still explained, “I just said those words in anger during the quarrel. Big Brother, Ye Shuchen really…”
Ye Shuyan asked directly, “Did you do anything with the bird’s nest and ejiao?”
Something flashed across Jiang Miao’s eyes, and soon she looked confused, “What bird’s nest, what ejiao?”
Ye Shuyan looked at her with increasingly cold eyes, while Jiang Miao forced herself to remain calm. She had imagined this scene long ago, so she could put on an innocent expression and ask, “What’s wrong? Is something wrong with my sister-in-law?”
Ye Shuyan listened to her inner voice, and his whole body was emitting cold air. He wanted to strangle this crazy and stupid woman to death. “Why are you asking what happened to Nuan Nuan when you didn’t do anything?”
“Jiang Miao,” Ye Shuyan’s voice suddenly became calm without any ripples, but it seemed as if a storm was brewing. “I have never taken you seriously before.”
Jiang Miao also clenched her fists, unable to hold back his anger.
But he continued, “But since you want to find a sense of existence so much, I will do as you wish.” Let you always remember the consequences of messing with me in a life worse than death!
After saying that, he turned and left.
“Hey, Big Brother! What happened?” Ye Shuchen was anxious. He turned around and looked at Jiang Miao angrily, “Family name Jiang, what did you do again?”
“If you did anything, tell me now. I’ve never seen my brother act like this before. If he does it himself, you’re screwed. Don’t drag us down with you, you idiot!”
Jiang Miao’s eyes were filled with madness, “Haha, what can I do? What can I, a young lady of the Jiang family who is not taken seriously by him, do?”
It just something that made him regret deeply and feel miserable! Hahahaha……
Thinking of this, she no longer cared about Ye Shuchen. She excitedly picked up her phone and opened the group chat to see what the latest news Tang Nuan had.
However, before any news about Tang Nuan could be seen, the loud sound of sirens came from far away and stopped at the door of the Tang family’s old residence.
Not long after, Jiang Miao was dragged out in panic, “What are you doing? Ye Shuchen! Save me, I didn’t do anything, I am innocent!”
Sun Wanqiu stood in the living room and said angrily, “Shuchen, what did she, this bad luck, do? It’s really embarrassing!”
Ye Zhenghong stood at the stairs, also looking upset, “Shuchen, tell the Jiang family that you want a divorce!”
Jiang Miao was still yelling, “I won’t divorce you! Ye Shuchen, if we get divorced, you’ll have nothing! Ask my dad to hire a lawyer for me!”
Ye Shuchen also collapsed, “What the hell did you do? You’ve offended my big brother, you’re trying to kill us?”
Hearing this, Ye Zhenghong and Sun Wanqiu’s faces changed, “She provoked the boss again?!” Then they hurried to call the Jiang family.
When the Ye and Jiang families were in chaos, Ye Shuyan had already rushed to the hospital.
The hospital did find the problem. Most of the supplements were fine, but a small portion contained hallucinogenic ingredients.
“It should have been soaked in hallucinogens. Fortunately, it has been stored for a long time, and most of it has been removed by washing and stewing. The dose consumed is not fatal.” The doctor frowned. “Who is so vicious? If it weren’t for good luck, an overdose would have turned people stupid.”
Ye Shuyan was filled with fear when he thought that if he was a step slower, Tang Nuan might fall off the roof. His hatred for Jiang Miao almost set him on fire.
He must make her suffer a fate worse than death!
He went to the ward again. This time Tang Nuan had fallen asleep, but she still seemed uneasy. However, when he leaned over, she would still consciously snuggle into his arms. Ye Shuyan hugged her tightly. Every time he thought about how he almost lost her, he became very scared.
In the evening, he inquired about the progress of the investigation.
The police said that Jiang Miao must have rehearsed such a scenario many times, and her answer was flawless, so it was not easy to find evidence that she did it.
“I have some clues here.”
Unfortunately, no matter how much Jiang Miao practiced, he never expected Ye Shuyan’s mind-reading ability.
“During that period, Mrs. Xie received a large amount of bird’s nests and ejiao and gave them to several wives. When she found out that Mrs. Xie also gave this to my wife as a birthday gift, she shamelessly asked Mrs. Zhou for the bird’s nests and ejiao that Mrs. Xie gave to Mrs. Zhou.”
“Then she soaked it in hallucinogens, restored the packaging, and mixed it into the gift Mrs. Xie gave to my wife on her birthday.
“As for the hallucinogens, they were taken from her second brother…”
It might be difficult to find clues from Jiang Miao, but Ye Shuyan has already provided complete clues to the crime, even the details that were difficult to find were all there, so it would be much easier to investigate by working backwards.
Father Jiang, Mother Jiang, and Jiang Zhan came in person to apologize and only asked Ye Shuyan to show mercy and not to vent his anger on the Jiang family.
Father Jiang said, “We will just ignore that the animal didn’t exist. We didn’t hire a lawyer for her. We will make sure she pays the price she deserves…”
Mother Jiang also said, “Yes, Shuchen, we were wrong about what happened before. We will never interfere with her again. We really don’t know what she did.”
Jiang Zhan was also under pressure. “President Ye, do you have any needs? As long as you ask, we will do it. We can find a lawyer to send her to Hei County Women’s Prison.”
Hei County Women’s Prison holds only serious criminals and is recognized as the most terrifying prison. Not only is the workload there arduous, but the discipline is also strict. If someone like Jiang Miao were to go there, she would probably live a life worse than death.
But how could this be enough? Ye Shuyan dismissed the Jiang family and directly let Jiang Miao listen to the recording through his lawyer, telling her, “Tang Nuan is lucky enough not to have any serious consequences. You probably won’t need the death penalty, but do you think the Jiang family, who hate you so much, will be more merciful than Ye Shuyan?”
Jiang Miao felt a chill all over when listening to the recording. When the lawyer was about to leave, she began to be afraid and frantically admitted her fault, “I was wrong, Lawyer Zhang, tell Young Master Ye that I was wrong!!! I, I didn’t mean to hurt Tang Nuan, I was just lost in thought for a moment!!! Please, I beg you, I didn’t mean it……”
She screamed hysterically, but Lawyer Zhang turned a deaf ear to her. Finally, she was forcibly taken away by the police.
On Ye Shuyan’s side, he also launched a direct attack on the Jiang family.
Tang Nuan had a long dream. Compared to the feeling of watching from the sidelines when reading a book, this time it seemed as if it was really happening.
In her dream, she felt unwell and wanted to see a doctor in a daze, but she didn’t know how she was suddenly hugged by Ye Shuyan. When she came to her senses, she found herself on the roof and was only a few steps away from falling down.
She was almost scared to death. She clearly remembered that she wanted to go downstairs to drive the car.
Ye Shuyan, who was holding her, was not in much better condition. His legs and feet were weak as he knelt on the ground holding her. His arms were so tight that it hurt her, but she could clearly feel him trembling all over.
Tang Nuan had never seen Ye Shuyan like this before, and suddenly she had an idea that he loved her too.
After thinking about it, she felt confused again. Ye Shuyan loved her, so why did she have such a strange idea?
Ye Shuyan took her to the hospital and found out that she had been drugged by Jiang Miao.
She was very shocked in her dream about everything that happened afterward, because that person, Ye Shuyan, who regarded work as more important than anything else, suddenly went crazy and attacked the Jiang and Ye families.
Oh, in the dream, he had quit Ye Group and had not returned yet. He had been on business trips for the past few months. As a result, he ran into her as soon as he came back and almost fell from the building.
She didn’t care about anything at the moment. Ye Shuyan’s methods in the dream were much more cruel than in reality. That was the first time she saw Ye Shuyan lose his composure. He joined forces with the Xie family and was determined to kill the Jiang family at all costs.
Tang Nuan also saw Tang Jinxin and his wife who hurried over.
Both of them were dark and thin, especially Tang Jinxin, whose round beer belly was almost gone.
It turned out that she in the dream had been acting abnormally for more than a month. She had been polite to the Tang family, but suddenly she became very disgusted with them. She would not allow them to get close to her at all and would go crazy if they did.
They didn’t dare to provoke her, but they still found a way to ask a friend to go to the hospital to check on her. As a result, no problem was found and they thought it was some difficult and complicated disease.
The couple had no choice but to go to Wanjie Temple with their last hope.
Wanjie Temple, as the name suggests, has nearly 20,000 steps. It is said that one step of bowing and praying sincerely can make your wish come true.
The couple spent half a month walking and kneeling to beg for mercy before the temple gate. When they heard that she almost fell from the building, they hurried back.
They were furious when they learned the truth. Tang Yue cooperated with Ye Shuyan to find evidence of Jiang’s company’s tax evasion. Tang Jinxin directly invested money in the Jiang family’s rival company just to bring the Jiang family down.
The Ye family hated Jiang Miao for destroying everything they had, and the two families were at loggerheads, and the culprit, Jiang Miao, was the enemy they all hated.
In short, in less than half a year, the Jiang family’s capital chain broke, the company went bankrupt, and everyone was burdened with huge debts.
This time, it was the Jiang family that kept targeting Ye Shuchen, Ye Zhenghong, and his wife.
They were all afraid of offending Ye Shuyan again, so not only did they not hire a good lawyer for Jiang Miao, they also had someone send her to Hei County Women’s Prison. Jiang Miao was repeatedly injured there and even attempted suicide, but Ye Shuyan always gave her the best treatment…
After this incident, the self in the dream also realizes everyone’s feelings, the Tang family, Ye Shuyan’s, and even her own.
“Nuan Nuan, Nuan Nuan?”
When Tang Nuan opened her eyes, she saw Ye Shuyan with an unshaven beard. She had never seen him look so haggard before.
For a moment, I couldn’t tell whether it was the Ye Shuyan in the dream or the Ye Shuyan in reality.
But she knew very well that they were actually the same person.
She in the dream was different from the reality. She had not seen the book in the dream, so she had always lived a cooperative marriage life with Ye Shuyan according to her own ideas, but in the end they still fell in love…
Tang Ben stepped forward with red eyes and said, “Sister Nuan, you sleep too much. If you don’t wake up in five days, Mom and Dad will go to Wanjie Temple.
Tang Nuan opened her arms towards Ye Shuyan and said coquettishly, “Hug me.”
Ye Shuyan looked at her tenderly, leaned over, and hugged her tightly in his arms, “Why did you sleep for so long? You scared me to death.”
Tang Nuan said, “I had another dream.”
“Yeah, I know.” He just heard it all.
Tang Nuan’s eyes fell on Tang Jinxin and his wife who were behind Ye Shuyan. Tang Fei, Li Qiuqiu, and even Tang Ben were all there.
Tang Nuan let go of Ye Shuyan and rushed toward Tang Jinxin and Shen Jinhua, “Dad, Mom, thank you.”
Tang Jinxin touched her head with his big hand, “Silly child, what are you thanking me for!” He couldn’t help but choke up with sobs, “You really want to scare your parents to death.”
Shen Jinhua’s eyes also turned red. Tang Fei came over and touched everyone’s back one by one. The whole family cried and laughed.
Tang Yue knocked on the door and came in. Tang Nuan felt a little embarrassed when she saw her. “Sister, why did you come back too?”
Tang Yue said, “How can I not come back after such a big incident happened to you?”
“I just talked to the police. Jiang Miao doesn’t have any good lawyers. She can’t escape the charge of intentional homicide.” The faces of the Tang family members turned cold. Tang Jinxin said, “Can she be sentenced to death?”
Tang Yue said, “Nuan Nuan didn’t get into any serious trouble, and she already had her own plans. Even if the lawyer didn’t try her best, the situation isn’t particularly serious, so she won’t be sentenced to death. She’ll probably get 20 years in prison.”
Tang Fei was furious, “If someone is dead, is it too late? She wanted to kill people!”
Tang Yue said softly, “Don’t worry. In fact, I was worried that she would be sentenced to death.” At this point, her tone became even gentler, “It would be too easy for her if she died.”
After hearing what Tang Yue said and looking at Ye Shuyan’s expression, the Tang family knew that both of them had a chance of success and stopped worrying about it. They had also seen what Ye Shuyan had done against the Jiang family in the past few days, and he almost hated them to death, so he would definitely not let Jiang Miao go easily.
“Here.” Tang Yue handed the phone to Tang Nuan, “It was found by the police when they were investigating Jiang Miao’s personal belongings. Although it’s not a big deal, it’s related to you. Take a look.”
Tang Nuan took it doubtfully, and was stunned when she saw the familiar title and beginning. It turned out to be the novel she had read.
She looked up at Ye Shuyan, who also came over. Tang Nuan turned to the end and saw that Jiang Miao had a successful love life and career, but she committed suicide by jumping off a building…
It turns out that the book was something Jiang Miao had fantasized about writing, a desire that she could never fulfill.
Tang Nuan thought of that dream, where she hadn’t actually died, and Jiang Miao and the Jiang family faced the same fate…
Tang Nuan looked up at Ye Shuyan, unsure if that was a past life for them. In the dream, Ye Shuyan hadn’t really read her mind either.
The Tang family noticed that the two wanted to talk, and after confirming that Tang Nuan was fine, they left. Recently, due to Tang Nuan’s situation, everyone has been restless.
In the quiet hospital room, Tang Nuan leaned against Ye Shuyan, puzzled, and asked, “Why do we get an extra lifetime? Do you think it’s because I regretted waking up too late, wishing to treat you and my parents better in the next life?”
Ye Shuyan kissed her cheek softly, “Maybe it was my wish. In my past life, I regretted not understanding you sooner and letting you suffer so much. So, I wished to be with you earlier in the next life, to protect you and ensure your peace and happiness.”
Tang Nuan turned her head. Ye Shuyan looked down at her, then gently captured her lips. Tang Nuan responded passionately.
In their tender kiss, Tang Nuan still couldn’t comprehend why there were such changes in this life, but there was no denying that the book and Ye Shuyan’s mind-reading ability had helped them avoid many detours.
She no longer felt conflicted. At that moment, she understood more deeply what Ye Shuyan had once told her: everything fate bestows upon you has its reason, and one day, you will realize its significance.
Loving and supporting Ye Shuyan, and cherishing her family, must be the meaning it gave her.
