Qiao Mu walked closer and tried to help her remove the towel that was gagging her. Seeing him approach, Ye Huanyan glared at him in disgust and turned her head away. However, because she was tied up, her gaze did not seem imposing at all.
In reality, other than when she threatened Sheng Anran during the qipao show, she felt that she was very down and out in all other situations. At the very least, she was someone with a background now, so why did she keep encountering these kinds of unlucky things?
Qiao Mu resentfully retracted her hand and said embarrassedly, "Apologies, Secretary Ye, I don't mean to hurt you. I just want to leave this place with Anran and start anew. After we leave, the director will find you and let you go."
Ye Huanyan creased her brows and whimpered at him.
"Do you want me to help you remove the towel?" Qiao Mu asked hesitantly.
She nodded, appearing a bit impatient.
"Don't make too much noise. Otherwise, I'll offend you."
Qiao Mu glanced at her with warning in his eyes before helping her remove the towel.
After removing the towel, Ye Huanyan felt that her breathing was much smoother. She took a few deep breaths to calm her emotions before looking at him and asking, "Where are you taking her?"
Qiao Mu was packing a 24-inch suitcase, and there were passports, IDs, and other documents on the desk. When he heard this, he looked up at Ye Huanyan. "To a place where no one knows us."
"Did you ask for her opinion?"
He paused in his packing. "I'm doing this for her own good."
"When have you not done this for her own good? But isn't today's situation all because you solemnly swore that you were doing this for her own good? "
Ye Huanyan's eyes were very sharp. "For her own good, you agreed to help her change the DNA test report back then. For her own good, you connived with her instigating Yin Guoguo to hit me with a car. For her own good, you made me promise you that she was the real murderer behind Ling Han's back. For her own good, you're even going to pack and take her away without her consent. Have you ever thought about what you did right when you said you were doing for her own good?"
"Enough …" Qiao Mu coldly interrupted her, but her back was already soaked with cold sweat.
"Have you ever thought that it was you who spoiled her step by step and made her become what she is now?"
Ye Huanyan looked at him coldly with pity in her eyes. "You didn't figure it out five years ago. It's true that you lost your job because of her, but you asked for it. You're such an unprincipled person. No matter how much you've sacrificed, you deserve it even if you break your legs or lose your life. Do you think you can win her heart? Look at yourself now. "
Qiao Mu's face was flushed red. She deliberately hid her lame leg behind the desk as if she had a guilty conscience. She held the corner of the desk with both hands and trembled all over.
"You're crazy. I think you're crazy."
Ye Huanyan's face was apathetic, and her pair of icy eyes stared fixedly at Qiao Mu, her eyes full of loathing.
The atmosphere in the room became subtle. There was a deathly stillness, and even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
"Don't blame him."
The woman's voice broke the deadlock, and Qiao Mu's eyes froze. She stiffly looked in the direction of the bed, her eyes full of astonishment.
Sheng Anran slowly lifted the blanket and stood up. Her face was pale as she knelt on the floor with a plop. She lowered her head in Ye Huanyan's direction and said in a choked voice, "I was the one who made all the mistakes. It has nothing to do with him. He has his own principles and bottom line. I was the one who begged him again and again, and I even used our relationship to coerce him. I was also the one who ordered Yin Guoguo to hit you. He didn't know about any of this at all. It was my fault, it was my fault from beginning to end."
Qiao Mu dragged one leg to her side and held her shoulder, but she could not say a word. She could only kneel in front of Ye Huanyan with her.
"I was jealous of you. I was jealous that you could win Ling Han's heart. At first, I thought you were the mistress who came between us, but later I found out that I was the one who came between you two. Or rather, I was just lying to myself and insisted on squeezing between the two of you. When I saw the bedroom on the second floor of the old villa, I knew that your importance in his heart was not something that we women could compare to. It was ridiculous that I had always called myself Mrs. Ling and thought that he treated me differently from other women. I thought that as long as I was obedient and didn't make any mistakes, he would eventually marry me one day."
At this point, she looked up at Ye Huanyan while crying and laughing at the same time. "Later on, when I found out about your existence, I realized that I was different from other women. It was just that I was smart enough to know when to advance or retreat and never cross the line."
Qiao Mu supported her tottering body, and her voice was hoarse. "But in his heart, a woman who doesn't cross the line will never be able to become his wife. At most, she will be a rumored girlfriend. I have seen what he is like when he truly loves someone. He is jealous because of you and treats you well in silence. The gentleness in his eyes when he looks at you drives me crazy with jealousy, so I thought that if you weren't there, perhaps he would put up with it and I could also enjoy this kind of gentle treatment."
Tears streamed down Sheng Anran's face, and her eyes seemed to be filled with endless remorse. The unwillingness that she saw two days ago had already completely disappeared. She only stared blankly at Ye Huanyan, seemingly scrutinizing her face. In the end, she took a deep breath and said in a choked voice, "Five years have been long enough. I wasn't able to become that kind of person. He still only has you in his heart. Even if you are completely different from before, he still only has you in his heart."
Qiao Mu held her shoulder, gratification floating in her eyes. She looked up at Ye Huanyan and cautiously said, "I will do my best to repay what I owe you. No matter what you want me to do, I will do my best to do it. I only ask that you let her go."
"Are you done yet?" Ye Huanyan's face was ashen. "Tying me up in this kind of place and kneeling in front of me to force me to accept your repentance. Are you kidding me?"
Qiao Mu's expression was resentful, but she was unwilling to untie the ropes.
Ye Huanyan's current status was incomparable to the past, and the Gu Clan Financial Group's international influence was also extraordinary. Under this kind of background, he and Sheng Anran were merely fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others. Even though Ye Huanyan was tied up right now, he still did not dare to lay a finger on her.
"I don't plan on doing anything to you. I just want Sheng Anran to finish filming my movie as the second female lead. This role suits her very well. Although she's not the female lead, I don't have any intention of bullying her, right? You can leave if you want, but if you don't film just because you say so, where am I going to find people at the last minute? Can you be a little more professional? "
Hearing this, Sheng Anran creased her brows and looked at Ye Huanyan in confusion. She even spoke with a heavy nasal voice, "I don't have any intention of not filming."
"You don't, but a certain person who made you sleep here for two days does."
Ye Huanyan's gaze faintly circled Qiao Mu. "What do you think?"
