Chapter 1030: She Was Fine
Yang Snr. held Han Qing’s hands tightly.
“It’s alright. I’m sure Xiao Xue was wrongly accused and that the police would release her soon enough,” Yang Snr. said. He might be worried but he was sure that his daughter wouldn’t commit a crime.
Sure enough, a car stopped outside the gates of the mansion.
Han Qing and Yang Snr. quickly rushed out to see their daughter Han Xue getting out of the car.
Han Xue looked like she was in a bad shape and her face was scarily pale. She stood unsteadily after she got out of the car and her legs almost gave way. She clenched her jaw and seemed hesitant to enter the Ye family mansion. After hesitating for two minutes, she ultimately decided to continue walking forward.
She had to return to the Ye family or the police might find her behavior even more suspicious when they saw that she was afraid to return home.
Han Xue took one step forward at a time and although she was returning to him, she felt as though she was stepping on sharp knives with each step she took and it felt extremely painful.
Han Qing quickly rushed forward to support her daughter.
“Xiao Xue, what’s wrong with you? Did the police do anything...” she said.
Han Xue took one look at her parent’s anxious faces and knew how worried they had been.
She shook her head and said, “I’m fine.”
Although she claimed she was fine, her expression betrayed her thoughts. She looked like she had lost her soul.
“Oh yes, mom, is Ye Hao home?” Han Xue asked.
She felt her heart suddenly clench in fear at the thought.
She knew that her husband had already listened to the conversation, so she was certain that he had found out her secret... and discovered that she had once tried to bribe Wang Lan to harm Xi Xi when she was still in He Xiyan’s belly.
“Ye Hao hasn’t returned home,” Han Qing said.
She couldn’t believe that her daughter was still pining for that man after everything she had been through.
Han Xue continued to make her way into the house.
She walked very slowly and after she entered the house, she didn’t see Ye Hao or her mother-in-law anywhere. She only spotted two maids, Menglin, and a newly employed maid named Chen Xin.
The two maids frowned as they looked at her strangely as though they were terrified of her.
They soon walked away but they didn’t go too far away. Instead, they went into a resting lounge on the pretense that they were tidying up.
Chen Xin’s face was pale and she shrank back in fear.
She tugged at Menglin’s clothes and asked, “Menglin, uh... do you think Wang Lan was murdered by Mrs. Ye?”
Chen Xin was afraid because she had only been working for the Ye family for two months and had only exchanged several words with Wang Lan before her disappearance. It had been more than a month since she disappeared.
Menglin smiled wryly and couldn’t hold back a sigh. There was a flash of disappointment in her eyes.
Then, she shook her head and said very softly, “I’m not sure either but I hope that it isn’t true.”
She couldn’t believe that her mistress would think of harming a helpless maid employed by the Ye family. Wang Lan might have been treading on dangerous ground and might have discovered some secret but nonetheless, she didn’t deserve to die.
Menglin could already guess that Wang Lan had met with a tragic end.
Chen Xin sidled up to Menglin and whispered, “It would be terrifying if she was indeed involved in this. I don’t know what you think about it but if it were me, I would resign by the end of the year if Mr. Ye doesn’t divorce her. I would find it very difficult to serve a mistress like her because I would constantly be terrified that I might go missing as well if I offend her.”
