Chapter 697: Chapter 697: Will There Be Regrets…
“You never dared to scold me like that before, but ever since Qin Youxuan showed up, even my own father doesn’t care for me,” Ye Mingmei complained unhappily, and noticing Ye Zhanxing standing there stupefied, she realized something.
“Dad, do you know Qin Youxuan?”
She wasn’t naive, she could perceive whenever anything involving Qin Youxuan came up, Ye Zhanxing’s reactions would be particularly intense.
She hadn’t been punished at home for many years. This time she had to kneel, her knees were almost weakened.
“Today was the first encounter.” As Ye Zhanxing’s words fell, his hawk-like eyes glanced at Ye Mingmei, who had just risen from the ground.
Ye Mingmei’s body stiffened, and she obediently knelt back down.
“Kneel till eleven, then go back to your room and rest. From tomorrow onwards, stay at home properly and don’t go anywhere.” Ye Zhanxing stood up from the sofa and turned around to stride towards his study.
Upon hearing his words, Ye Mingmei was instantly worried, “Dad, I have a business major class tomorrow; I must go to school.”
“You’ve already obtained your graduation certificate, you’re just minoring in a small course, home study is also the same. If I let you go to school, who knows what other trouble you could cause.” Ye Zhanxing coldly rejected.
Before Ye Mingmei had time to protest, he went into his study.
Ye Mingmei’s voice was left outside the closed door.
Mo Feng stood respectfully in front of the desk, his black suit and meticulous short hair made him appear stringent and practical.
“The matter I asked you to investigate, is there any result yet?” Ye Zhanxing pressed his brow, walked to the sofa chair, and sat down.
“Yes.” Mo Feng respectfully nodded, placing the envelope in his hand on the table.
“I can confirm that the girl the CEO saw today was indeed that girl. The reason why her temperament… is so different is because Qin Mo later married another woman.”
Seeing that Ye Zhanxing’s face was off, Mo Feng automatically ignored that name and truthfully reported the information he had investigated.
“Rumor has it that Miss Qin’s relationship with her stepmother is extremely poor. At a young age, she studied alone in the United States. After returning to China, she was almost killed by her stepmother several times and was even sued for murder… Although she was acquitted later, it must have had a great impact on Miss Qin, causing her personality to deviate. Also…”
Mo Feng paused, hesitating to speak, “Miss Qin seemed to have had feelings for her own brother.”
Ye Zhanxing’s brow furrowed as if he had personally seen the growth experience of a deviant and promiscuous girl. His steadfast face carried a touch of complexity.
“No need to say more, you can leave now.”
“Yes.” Mo Feng bowed slightly and then left.
The study fell quiet in an instant.
Ye Zhanxing took out the information from the envelope, and a photograph fell out first.
Pinching the photograph in his long fingers, Ye Zhanxing’s gaze did not shift for a long time.
In the photograph, Qin Youxuan sat isolated in the graveyard, hugging her knees with her head leaning on a gravestone.
The image under the lens was not clear, but Ye Zhanxing recognized the name on the gravestone in a single glance, feeling an indescribable pain in his heart.
He clenched his hand, gripping the photograph hard.
“If you were still alive now, would you regret…”
After a moment’s pause, Ye Zhanxing placed the photograph aside, carelessly perused a few documents, and pressed the intercom on the desk, “After the contract period with the Dan Family expires, all projects handled by Dan Hanjie are to be cancelled.”
