C16 She Had Really Put A Lot Of Thought Into This

In her recent years abroad, Shen Mannge had been dealing with flashing lights on a daily basis. She was familiar with the sensation of reflected sunlight, of the flash getting caught in her eyes.

Chu Mengxi was just as sly as she was five years ago. On the surface, it looked like she was truly regretful, but in reality, she had arranged for someone to record this scene. The video of Shen Mannge bullying her would appear online as soon as she left for Hengyu Group from here.

Shen Mannge would once again become the target of public criticism, just like she was five years ago. Right now, she was a well-known designer and a member of the H J Corporation. Not only would her own reputation take a hit, even the company she worked for would lose face.

Chu Mengxi had really put a lot of thought into this.

Shen Mannge sneered at her. "What is Miss Chu doing? You assaulted me at the reception of the Hengyu company, and now that you're at my door acting pathetic, you've got someone to take pictures of us in the dark. I wonder if you are really here to apologize, or just to put up an act for the company's sake?"

Chu Mengxi's face instantly paled.

"Miss Catherine, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just asking you to come back. Nanxuan, I… "

"Miss Chu, you sure know how to act. It's a pity, you seem to have forgotten what I do. I am a car designer. I spend all day long with car parts, I work with mirrors all the time. If you want to trick me next time, please do it more secretively. The cameraman in the dark should know how to hide his camera."

What Shen Mannge said made Ye Nanxuan narrow his eyes.

He quickly looked around and saw a figure quickly flashing across the street.

Ye Nanxuan's eyes darkened.

"If you're not here to apologize sincerely, Chu Mengxi, you can leave. Don't embarrass yourself."

"No, Nanxuan, it's not like that. I really do want to apologize,"

Chu Mengxi explained quickly.

She could not let Ye Nanxuan know that she had been scheming, nor could she let Shen Mannge be smug abut exposing her. Chu Mengxi had gotten away with murder before, so this was easy.

Shen Mannge was too impatient to witness her act.

"What are you playing at? Go home. If you have anything to say to me, just say it. Mr. Ye, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation for what happened today. I'm sorry, I'm a little tired now. You both can leave,"

Shen Mannge declared, then shut the door in their faces and returned to her room at once.

Ye Nanxuan was caught off guard. The door almost knocked into his handsome face. He subconsciously took a step back to dodge it, but he did not see the stairs. He missed a step and fell to the ground.

"Nanxuan."

Chu Mengxi grabbed onto him quickly, worry filling her eyes.

"Are you all right? This Catherine woman is too haughty. Isn't she just a car designer? We can have anyone else. We can afford everything, so why not another good designer?"

Chu Mengxi's words made Ye Nanxuan frown again.

He pulled his arm out of Chu Mengxi's and turned to look at her coldly.

For the first time, Ye Nanxuan felt as if he had never really known Chu Mengxi.

He had always thought that Chu Mengxi was gentle and kind. Five years ago, for the sake of the Ye Family, she gave birth to Ye Rui without hesitation, thus providing them with an heir regardless of her own reputation. Afterwards, she stayed in the Ye Family to take care of Ye Rui, so that he was raised without problems.

Usually, what Ye Nanxuan was exposed to was Chu Mengxi's loving and gentle side, but today, she had surprised him.

Even though he himself suspected Shen Mannge's identity and her purpose of coming to the Hengyu Group, Chu Mengxi had never even met her before. Yet, she brazenly hit Shen Mannge at the reception of the company. That jealous look on her face made Ye Nanxuan feel for the first time that perhaps, she had not selflessly sacrificed her reputation to take care of Ye Rui. Perhaps she wanted to be in the Ye Family for other reasons.

This sudden realization made him feel a little disgusted.

"Mengxi, you've been in the Ye Family for five years, right?"

Ye Nanxuan asked her plainly.

Chu Mengxi was slightly taken aback. She did not know what he meant by the question, but she nodded her head in agreement.

"Yes, five years."

"You are not getting any younger. All these years you have sacrificed your needs and stayed by Ye Rui's side. If you meet a suitable man, tell me, I will marry you off on behalf of the Ye Family. Don't worry, your dowry would be big enough."

Ye Nanxuan's words scared Chu Mengxi.

"Nanxuan, what do you mean? You want to chase me out of the Ye Family? Why? Because I offended the designer Catherine? Listen to me, please. I know I was wrong, so I apologized to her. I didn't ask anyone to take a video of this, I didn't!"

Chu Mengxi started weeping. Her pitiful appearance had not changed.

However, Ye Nanxuan said coldly, "It has nothing to do with her. What I said is true. You aren't getting younger. You can't waste away your youth on the Ye Family. You should have your own life. Some people can't come back to you once they leave."

With that, Ye Nanxuan walked away.

Chu Mengxi's face was pale, and her body was on the verge of collapse.

No!

No!

She had waited for five years for him. She loved him for so many years, and gave birth to Ye Rui. It had not been easy. She was happy to bear the suffering if it meant that she could get him. How could he say such ruthless words to her?

Was it because of Catherine?
