Sure enough, He Meilianâs explanation had confirmed some of her suspicions.
He Meilian looked at her and said, âIndeed, Yuyu was in prison for half a year, and he was released before you returned. He didnât need to break the law, but do you know why he ended up in prison?â
Hai Xiaotang barely managed to speak, her voice strained, âYes, because of me?â
He Meilian nodded, âIndeed, because of you. He initially set you up, but to let you go, someone naturally had to take the fall. He had already arranged everything, but then laterâ¦â
Pausing for a moment, He Meilian said lowly, âTo save Uncle Hai, to secure his exoneration, he had to implicate himself.â
Hai Xiaotangâs pupils contracted sharply!
âWhat did he do?â
He Meilian smiled faintly, âHe turned himself in, saying that the orphanage incident was deliberately manipulated by him. He also claimed that he forced Uncle Hai to admit to crimes he didnât commit, and in fact, he led everything with the purpose of getting you. So, he had no choice but to use you to threaten your grandfather, and then tried to threaten you into agreeing to him. The police couldnât find any evidence against Uncle Hai, and Dongfang Yu provided plenty of proof, along with the motive. Just like that, he was prosecuted.â
Hai Xiaotang was stunnedââ
âBut I didnât know anything about thisâ¦â
âYou wouldnât know. In fact, hardly anyone knows about his imprisonment because we kept it under wraps. However, we did not expect it to be exposed.â
Today was the day Dongfang Yu was to be chosen as a representative, his chances would be dashed if this information got out!
Therefore, this was a conspiracy aimed at derailing his plans.
However, Hai Xiaotang didnât have the mood to think about those issues.
What conspiracy or schemes, she wasnât interested at all.
She was just shocked by Dongfang Yuâs actionsâ¦
She really never expected that this was how he managed to save her grandfather.
But why didnât he tell her anything?
Not only did he hide everything from her, but he also silently served his time in prison for half a year when she didnât choose him.
No wonder, he despised herâ¦
Because her departure meant that he gave up a lot without receiving anything in return.
Not to mention a reward, she didnât even leave a note. She didnât leave anything. She just left cleanly.
While she was in Switzerland forgetting him, he was quietly suffering in prison.
He was Dongfang Yu, the one who created a business empire; the high and mighty Dongfang Yu.
But he was willing to go to prison for herâ¦
That dark and cold prison, Hai Xiaotang had personally experienced it.
Staying in such a place, every minute was torment and agony. Ordinary people could hardly bear it, let alone a person of Dongfang Yuâs stature, who held himself in great esteem.
But he willingly went!
No matter the causes or consequences, no matter any other reasons, in the end, he was willing to go in for her sake.
Just this point alone was enough for Hai Xiaotang to let go of everything and want to get back together with him!
But Dongfang Yu, why didnât you ever say anything, and only let me know now?
If only I had known earlier, we wouldnât have missed so much timeâ¦
However, are you still waiting for me there now?
Thinking of this, Hai Xiaotang abruptly rose to her feet, looking straight at He Meilian, resolutely saying, âMadam, where is Dongfang Yu now? I must find him immediately!â
