Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ye Cheng sincerely apologized to the public during his press conference. He said he had failed as a brother for neglecting to educate his sister properly, resulting in her developing psychological problems that caused her to behave negatively. He also apologized profusely to Mu Chen and Song Ning.
After Jiang Jin watched the press conference, she patted Song Ning’s hand and said, “Ye Cheng is really talented.”
Song Ning poured Jiang Jin a cup of tea and said, “At least there’s still someone capable in that family, and this matter is finally resolved. Sending Ye Xin to the psychiatric ward isn’t a bad thing for her. It’s better than going to jail.”
Jiang Jin nodded. “Song Ning, I like this about you. You know how to distinguish right from wrong, and you’re not blindly kind or soft-hearted. It’s not going to be easy when you become the Madam of the Mu family. You must make a stand in the future, and use both kindness and strength to deal with people. Don’t let those with evil intentions take advantage of you.”
Song Ning listened to Jiang Jin obediently.
…
After Ye Xin was admitted into the psychiatric ward, she had lost all her arrogance. All she knew was she could not stay here for another minute. She only wanted her family to get her out of this wretched place.
However, instead of her family members, she only saw a group of people who wanted her to fill in all sorts of forms and do all sorts of tests.
When she finally saw a familiar face, a lawyer from the Ye Group, she asked him, “When can I leave? I don’t want to be here; I want to go home!”
The lawyer was gentle as he said, “Miss, you can leave very soon as long as you do as the doctor requests…”
Although Ye Xin was skeptical, she said, “Alright. Am I allowed out for my physiotherapy and treatment?”
After all, Ye Xin’s leg injury had yet to heal.
The lawyer said vaguely, “Young Master Ye has already made all the necessary arrangements. All you have to do is listen to the doctors…”
With that, Ye Xin could only patiently fill in the forms and answer the baffling questions that she was asked over and over again.
Ye Xin had a hard time falling asleep in the small room at night. When she could not sleep, she would let her mind wander as she recalled everything before and after she fell into a coma. She could only fall asleep when she thought about Mu Chen.
She regretted her actions so much; why did she not agree to marry Mu Chen back then? If she had agreed to his request at that time, the pregnant Mrs. Mu would have been her today.
When she thought about this, she could not help but cry. Why was she so adamant about winning that award? Was the award more important than her future and happiness? Who was it that told her she had a chance of winning that award and made her obsess over the award? She felt really stupid when she thought about these things.
All of a sudden, Ye Xin’s eyes widened, and she sobered up immediately.
‘That’s right! Who told me I had a chance of winning that award? Why was I so obsessed with winning that award?’
Ye Xin stared blankly at the wall that was illuminated by the dim light in the corridor outside.
When she had gotten a little famous, everyone was trying to pair her up with male celebrities. However, she disdained being linked to those male celebrities. That was when she thought of Mu Chen.
She had liked Mu Chen for many years, but there was no way for her to get closer to him. Therefore, she thought it was a good idea to stir up a scandal between her and him. At that time, Yang Li had warned her not to involve such a prominent figure and that it might be difficult to extricate herself from the situation later. Naturally, she did not listen. She wanted to use external force to get closer to him so she deliberately stirred up a scandal.
When the news spread, the entire city was in an uproar, and she became twice as famous.
