In the next two days, Ye Lanchen remained in Country M and took care of other side matters. He still visited Nursing Home R every day.
He did not look for Stead again and neither did he disturb Chu Wuyou. He only observed quietly from the side but every time he went there, Chu Wuyou looked exactly as how she had been at the airport.
It was quiet, so quiet that it felt like she was the only one present in this world. She was still in a daze.
“Young Master Leng’s people have been investigating her too but they didn’t find anything.” The Fly called on the third day.
“Mm.” Ye Lanchen acknowledged. It was understandable for Young Master Leng to investigate Chu Wuyou. After all, she was the one who wrecked his costume party the other night.
Unable to fish out anything was normal. Ye Lanchen himself could not find out any solid information about her, let alone others.
“He Yunan has gone overseas to study. To Europe.” This was The Fly’s next piece of news. He Yunan had left the country for Europe. The lead was lost.
Ye Lanchen did not say anything. He stared into the distance and his gaze became more intense.
Five years had passed.
After a five-year silence, the news about First Young Lady Chu’s recovery and return were plastered all over the headlines again.
Chu Wuyou let out a cynical laugh. Her high-profile presence would surely result in more exciting events for her.
That was the way that Chu Ninger usually played.
Even after five years, Chu Ninger still intended to bully her elder sister.
Chu Wuyou returned every year at this time for the anniversary of her mother’s death. During the previous time when she returned, she went back to Country M immediately after saying her prayers.
This time after her prayers, she headed to the place where she used to live with her mother and found a photo of a man.
The photo did not mean anything at first. Chu Wuyou then suddenly realized that she had seen the man before. She saw him ten years ago on the day of her mother’s accident.
It was raining on that day and the village roads were wet and muddy. The man’s car was parked at the village’s entrance. She was walking home from school when she saw him come out and got into the car.
When she reached home, something had occurred to her mother.
The man was finely dressed and looked exquisite.
It was strange back then for a man like him to show up in the village. She felt more suspicious of him now.
Chu Wuyou decided to stay behind to find the man in the photo.
Little did she know that Chu Ninger could not tolerate her presence anymore even only after a few days.
At Wan Huan Mall.
Chu Wuyou had just descended the stairs when she was surrounded by a swarm of overenthusiastic reporters.
“First Young Lady Chu, you were exposed as someone who bore another man’s child at your engagement party five years ago. The child whom you decided to abort secretly which led to the failed planned marriage between the Chu and He families. Later on, you fled the country. Why did you return now?”
“Miss Chu, don’t you think it’s very cruel of you to abort your own child to marry into the He family?”
“I heard that you were about six months pregnant. How could you be so heartless as to kill your own child?”
The reporters’ questions grew in absurdity and viciousness. Nonetheless, only a few of them kept hollering repeatedly. It was obvious that they had been bribed to ask such questions. They were on the first floor and the area was crowded with people. Many passersby stopped to look on at the commotion.
The crowd was misled by the reporters’ questions and they started to give out horrible remarks.
Chu Wuyou laughed coldly deep within her. She knew that all of it was Chu Ninger’s plan. Her sister had indeed tried her very best.
Chu Wuyou decided to play along with Chu Ninger’s plan. Her only worry was that her younger sister would not be able to return the favor.
“Hey, isn’t that First Young Lady Chu? I heard that she has recovered from her illness and returned.” A sharp-eyed Secretary Liu noticed the woman surrounded by the swarm of reporters.
Walking in front of him was Ye Lanchen, who stopped in his tracks at once. His gaze turned slightly and fell onto Chu Wuyou who was standing in the middle of the first floor.
