Chapter 208 I'm sorry to have wronged you, Xiaotong
"Dad, what's wrong with Xiaotong?" Qin Reng frowned and asked, puzzled.
Qin Xian snorted coldly and threw the document in his hand onto the table. "Take a look for yourself!"
Yu Yuetong hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the document, and quickly glanced through it. Her face instantly turned pale. It was an investigation report about her recent activities, including photos of her altercation with Ji Momo in the parking lot and photos of her and Qin Reng at the hospital…
"What does this mean?" Yu Yuetong forced herself to remain calm and tried hard to control her emotions.
"What do you mean?" Qin Xian sneered. "Miss Yu, I hope you understand that your every move is under my surveillance. I've known about your affair with that woman for a long time!"
Yu Yuetong took a deep breath, trying to remain calm. "Dad, there's been some misunderstanding between Miss Ji and me. It's not what you think..."
"A misunderstanding?" Qin Xian interrupted her. "I don't want to hear your explanation! I'm only warning you once: don't have any further contact with that woman, or you'll face the consequences!"
Yu Yuetong was filled with rage; she felt deeply insulted and wronged. She was about to retort when Qin Reng grabbed her wrist.
"Dad, is there some misunderstanding? Xiaotong has always been very responsible; she hasn't done anything wrong." Qin Reng's voice was deep and powerful.
Qin Xian glared at him. "Shut up! I don't want to hear any more excuses for her!"
The atmosphere became tense, and the study was completely silent.
Just then, the study door was suddenly pushed open, and Han Shuang walked in.
"Old Qin, what's wrong with you? Why are you so angry!" Han Shuang walked to Yu Yuetong's side, gently patted her hand, and said softly, "Xiaotong, don't be afraid, Mom is here."
Yu Yuetong's nose tingled, and she almost cried. Han Shuang's gentleness and care made her feel a touch of warmth.
Han Shuang turned to Qin Xian and said reproachfully, "Why are you being so fierce? Xiao Tong is such a good child, how could you bear to scare her?"
Qin Xian sighed, his tone softening slightly, "I was only doing this for her own good..."
"Alright, alright, stop explaining."
Han Shuang waved her hand and pulled Yu Yuetong to sit down on the sofa. "Xiaotong, don't listen to your dad's nonsense. He has a bad temper, so don't take it to heart."
Yu Yuetong forced a smile. "Mom, I'm fine."
"It's good that you're alright." Han Shuang patted Yu Yuetong's hand. "You've been working hard lately, go home and rest early, don't overthink it."
Yu Yuetong nodded, stood up, and took her leave.
As she stepped out of the study, the smile on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a deep weariness and helplessness.
"Are you alright?" Qin Reng asked with concern as he followed behind her.
Yu Yuetong stopped and turned to look at him, her eyes filled with complex emotions. "What do you think?"
Qin Reng sighed and reached out to hug her, but Yu Yuetong dodged him.
"Don't touch me!" Yu Yuetong's voice trembled slightly. "I don't want to see you right now!"
Qin Reng froze, his outstretched hand hanging in mid-air.
Yu Yuetong walked past him, quickly returned to her room, and slammed the door shut.
She leaned against the door, took a deep breath, and felt a sharp pain in her chest.
The night outside the window was deep, and the moon hid behind the clouds, unwilling to show itself.
Yu Yuetong walked to the bedside, lay down weakly, feeling utterly exhausted.
Suddenly, she felt something hard under her, and when she reached down, she touched something hard.
She sat up, took the diamond she had found in the parking lot out of her pocket, and examined it carefully in the dim light.
The diamond sparkled brilliantly under the light, like a tiny star.
Yu Yuetong recalled Ji Momo's greedy expression and sneered inwardly. It seems the Qin family isn't so peaceful after all…
Just then, the phone suddenly vibrated.
Yu Yuetong picked up her phone and saw a message from an unknown number:
"I know the truth. See you at the usual place tomorrow morning at nine o'clock."
Yu Yuetong frowned. Who could it be?
She replied with a "?", and the other party quickly replied:
"Don't ask who I am, you'll find out when the time comes."
Yu Yuetong put down her phone, her mind filled with doubt.
Meanwhile, in another room, Qin Reng sat on the bed, holding his phone, looking at Yu Yuetong's location on the screen with a complicated expression.
He hesitated for a moment, but still made a phone call.
"Help me find out what happened tonight."
The next morning, Yu Yuetong was woken up by a knock on the door.
"Miss Yu, the old lady invites you down for breakfast," a maid's voice came from outside the door.
Yu Yuetong rubbed her eyes and got up to wash.
Downstairs in the restaurant, the Qin family was all present. Qin Xian sat in the main seat, his face gloomy. Ji Momo sat next to Qin Yu, smiling sweetly, occasionally glancing at Yu Yuetong.
Madam Qin sat in her wheelchair, her face still kind, but her eyes held a hint of inquiry.
Qin Reng sat down next to Yu Yuetong and asked in a low voice, "Are you alright?"
Yu Yuetong glanced at him indifferently and said nothing.
"Alright, let's eat," Qin Xian said.
Yu Yuetong ate breakfast with a bland and tasteless gusto, mechanically chewing the food in her mouth while her thoughts drifted far away.
After finishing her meal, Yu Yuetong was about to go upstairs when she was stopped by Old Madam Qin.
"Xiaotong, wait a moment."
Yu Yuetong stopped and turned around, saying respectfully, "Grandma, is there anything I can help you with?"
Madam Qin smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to chat with you."
She gestured to the maid to push her into the courtyard, with Yu Yuetong following behind her.
The courtyard was bathed in sunshine and filled with the fragrance of flowers.
Looking at the young girl in front of her, Old Madam Qin felt a mix of emotions.
"Xiaotong, you've been married into the Qin family for a while now. How are you feeling?" Old Madam Qin asked kindly.
Yu Yuetong hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's alright, Grandma is very good to me."
"That's good." Madam Qin nodded. "Areng can be temperamental sometimes, so please be patient with him."
Yu Yuetong smiled but didn't reply.
"Actually, I had some ulterior motives when I arranged for you to marry Areng," Old Madam Qin sighed, and slowly said, "You know the current situation of the Qin family..."
Madam Qin paused, her gaze falling on the blooming flowers in the distance, as if organizing her thoughts or recalling the past. "Back then, the old master arranged a marriage for A-Yu, it was you, the daughter of the Yu family." Her tone was slow, with a hint of a sigh that was almost imperceptible. "But I didn't like A-Yu. Although that child is excellent, he is too calculating. I was worried that he would be a threat to A-Reng in the future."
Yu Yuetong listened quietly, but her heart was in turmoil. So, her original fiancé was Qin Yu!
"So, when the old man suggested that you marry Aren, I agreed without even thinking about it." Madam Qin turned her head and looked at Yu Yuetong, her eyes full of apology. "I'm sorry to have wronged you, Xiaotong."
