Ye Cheng took the initiative to say, “Mom? Don’t worry, I’ll definitely find Ye Xin!”

Gao Wen looked at her son and said mockingly, “Can I trust you to do that?” Her expression turned frostier and frostier as she continued to say, “I know how important your future is. No matter if it’s you or the Ye family, I know all of you think of Ye Xin as a burden. How can I trust you to sincerely look for her? If anything, I’m sure you can’t wait for her to disappear from this world…”

“When did she disappear? Was she even sent to the hospital in the first place? You’re a prominent figure in the Public Security Bureau and hold great power. If you really wanted to look for Ye Xin, would there be no news up until now?” Gao Wen said bitingly. Then, she continued to say, “You’re my son so I know you like the back of my hand. I know you returned this time to remind me not to talk to the media. You’re only speaking in such a manner so I’d remain calm. Ye Cheng, why don’t you make me disappear as well? With that, you no longer have to worry about anything.”

Ye Cheng’s face turned red immediately. “Mom!”

Gao Wen looked at Ye Cheng intently as he clenched his hands tightly and continued to say, “Mom, believe me. I really don’t know how or when Ye Xin left. It’s true that I’m afraid this matter will affect me and the Ye family’s reputation. Mom, I’m your son. It’s fine that you care about Ye Xin, but can’t you care about me as well?”

“No!” Gao Wen said firmly. Her eyes burned with anger as she said, “Ye Xin’s a girl. How’s she going to survive out there alone?”

“What about me? What if Ye Xin returns and ruins my future?” Ye Cheng asked.

Gao Wen glared at Ye Cheng. “Impossible! You’re the Ye family’s heir. Even if your political career doesn’t work out, you can always return and take over the family’s businesses. What need is there for you to be afraid? Your future is bright, but Ye Xin has nothing. After you admitted her into a mental hospital, she won’t even be able to get married in the future! You’re her brother! Her biological brother! How can you be so ruthless? Tell me, Ye Cheng, how can you be so ruthless?”

Ye Cheng rose to his feet, angered. “If I were truly ruthless, I wouldn’t have just sent her to the mental hospital.”

Gao Wen stood up as well. “That’s right. I know you think you should’ve let her die, right? That way, she won’t be a hindrance to you!”

Ye Cheng stared at his mother as despair threatened to overwhelm him. In his mother’s heart, there was only his sister. His mother did not care about him at all. After a brief pause, he said slowly, “If I had known earlier that she’s your daughter with another man, I would’ve made her disappear forever…”

Gao Wen paled immediately. “W-what are you saying? What nonsense are you spouting?” She quickly regained her senses and continued to say, “You’re talking nonsense!”

Ye Cheng looked at his mother with a hint of helplessness. He felt like if he was not harsh with his mother, she would likely do something crazy again. Despite the ache in his heart, he said, “You’re the one who personally told me this when you drank too much. You don’t remember anything after you’ve sobered up? You don’t remember that you’d spoken at length about your sexual history? How can you be like that? Have you forgotten that you’re my mom?”

Gao Wen’s expression was incredibly unsightly as she reached out to grab Ye Cheng. “No, Ye Cheng, you must have heard wrongly.”

Ye Cheng pushed Gao Wen’s hand away and said in a low and hoarse voice, “You should be glad that I was the one who heard your nonsense, not dad.”

Gao Wen sat down limply on the couch.

Upon seeing this, Ye Cheng kneeled next to the couch and softly said, “Mom, don’t make a scene now.. If you continue making a scene, it’d be over. I’m the heir of the Ye family, but what’s going to happen to you?”
