This was known as evil begetting evil.
He Xiyan let out a heavy sigh but her face didn’t reflect much sorrow nor schadenfreude.
Despite how frequently Li Qin would scold her and look down on her, when she heard that she was now half-paralyzed, she still took pity on her. She thought that it must be a very traumatic experience for Li Qin to suddenly accept her current state when she used to be someone who was so arrogant and all about keeping up appearances.
However, she wouldn’t visit her. She didn’t owe the Mo family anything and they were no longer related in any way.
He Xiyan patted Wu Xiaoin’s shoulder and said flatly, “Xiaomin, I won’t be going in. Take good care of her.”
Wu Xiaomin was a little surprised, “Are you really not going to visit her?” Even if it was for Mr. Mo, wasn’t she going to see Li Qin?
“Yes,” He Xiyan smiled apologetically. “I’ve got other plans today. Let’s speak another day. Please go attend to whatever you need to do first.”
Then, He Xiyan turned around and got into a nearby black sedan.
She felt very grateful to those who had treated her kindly in the past, like her teachers, neighbors, aunties who had helped her before. If they were ill or were in trouble, she would visit them and offer a helping hand but to those who had never been kind to her, whether they were her relatives or people who had once been very close to her, she didn’t really care how they were faring.
Perhaps relationships were meant to be reciprocated. One must reap to sow and once there weren’t any feelings left toward the other person, one wouldn’t be too concerned about the other person.
Thirty minutes later, the car stopped in front of Huayang Twin Towers. This was He Xiyan’s first time here. The office looked so grand that it could only be built by a corporation like the Ye Group.
She got off the car and buttoned her coat. It was a very large coat so after she wore it, no one could tell that she was pregnant.
It wasn’t a very fashionable coat but it would be better than having others stare at her belly.
After she entered the building, a woman dressed in a suit approached her politely and asked, “Are you Mrs. Ye?”
This woman was Wang Xia from the secretarial division.
He Xiyan nodded with a smile.
“Mr. Ye is still in a meeting. I’ll bring you upstairs to rest first.” Wang Xia gestured for her to follow.
He Xiyan followed this secretary to the 19th floor and along the way, many employees looked at her curiously.
Everyone looked at her like they were looking at a gorilla and their eyes were filled with curiosity.
Wang Xia opened the doors to one of the office rooms and said, “This is Mr. Ye’s office and there is a resting area inside. The meeting would probably end in an hour so you may take a nap inside first.”
He Xiyan smiled and thanked the secretary, then gently closed the door.
The office was very wide and it was about 70-80 square meters with grey and white as the main color theme. It looked both simple and solemn and there was a set of luxurious leather sofas and a tea set as well as a bookshelf. It looked like it was decorated in the standard office style.
He Xiyan wasn’t tired but arriving at such an office made her remember the times when she was working. She had also been an office employee then and also wore a formal suit. She would be in the office from 9 AM to 5 PM and her life consisted of commuting between home and office. Although she had been busy then and experienced some stress from work, she felt very fulfilled and valued.
It had been more than six months since she stopped work and she was now either looking after her child or bearing children, just like a full-time housewife. She thought that after her delivery and confinement period, she should definitely go back to the workplace to do whatever she wanted to do.
“Ding dong…” The doorbell suddenly rang.
