Chapter 82 -82 Her Secret 1_1

However–continually for several days, every day she would receive calls from Mu Yingchen. As soon as he spoke, it was “I want to drink coffee, I want to drink coffee.”

She was on the verge of tears but eventually started to ignore his calls; as soon as she saw it was him, she’d pretend to hear nothing. However, if she did not answer, the phone would keep ringing incessantly until she picked up.

She was angry. Wasn’t he supposed to be very busy? How could he have so much spare time?

Everyone’s gaze towards her grew increasingly suggestive, and Bai Yudie’s gaze filled with more and more resentment.

She suddenly had an unsettling illusion, a feeling that Yudie’s resentful eyes harbored something that made her uneasy.

Yet, her relationship with Mu Yingchen had reached a point where they understood each other’s thoughts with just a glance.

She thought that maybe this was the unexpected surprise she had gained.

This surprise made her increasingly unwilling to let go, increasingly unable to release her grasp.

One weekend day, she mustered the courage to open a hidden drawer in her bedroom. The drawer wasn’t large and contained nothing but an exquisitely crafted glass bottle.

Inside the transparent glass bottle lay a small delicate key. Su Wanxia squinted her eyes, then gently took out the glass bottle.

She stared at the key for a long time, and her heart rate slowly increased.

This was a secret, her own secret.

But now she had to confront it, for the sake of her and his future, no matter if there was hope or not, she had to try.

She opened the glass bottle, took out the small key, and examined it in her palm.

Her eyes flickered, and then, clutching the key tightly in her hand, she headed downstairs.

Leaving the house, driving, her heart was always strained; she felt nervous and a bit scared.

After calming her mind, she took out her phone and dialed a number.

“Wanxia,” Jian Manhui’s voice came through on the phone.

Su Wanxia hesitated for a moment, “Manhui, do you have time today? I need to talk to you about something.”

“Sure, where shall we meet?”

Su Wanxia named a teahouse and arranged a meet-up with Jian Manhui, then followed the route in her memory to the largest and most authoritative custody center in C City.

Following the staff’s instructions, she arrived at the place where she had once stored her belongings.

With trembling hands, she held the key tight, hesitated for a long time, and then finally opened the safety deposit box.

Inside was a file folder lying quietly therein.

With trembling fingers, she took out the file, took a deep breath, and decisively left the place that guarded her secret.

Maybe after today, her secret would no longer be a secret.

Arriving at the teahouse where she’d agreed to meet Jian Manhui, she entered the private room with great trepidation. She didn’t know if what she was doing was right, but all she wanted to know was the outcome.

Before long, Jian Manhui arrived. Seeing Su Wanxia’s somewhat melancholic eyes, she grew concerned.

“Wanxia, what’s wrong?” Jian Manhui could tell from Su Wanxia’s expression that she must be troubled; otherwise, she wouldn’t have reached out to her.

Su Wanxia smiled faintly, looking at Jian Manhui sitting across from her. Without saying much, she placed the file in front of her.

“Manhui, help me take a look at this.”

Jian Manhui looked at the all-too-familiar file folder in front of her and breathed a sigh of relief, “Wanxia, are you having a dispute at work?” She knew what was inside without looking.

Su Wanxia smiled bitterly. If it had been a work dispute, that would have been better. She shook her head, “You are someone I trust, help me take a close look.”

Jian Manhui’s heart skipped a beat; the way Wanxia spoke made her feel this was not a good thing.

She glanced suspiciously at Su Wanxia, then picked up the file folder in front of her, slowly opening it.

Gently, she pulled out the thin document, indeed, it was a contract.

She breathed another sigh of relief, that’s good, that’s good. Those two thin sheets of paper probably weren’t a big deal, and with her ability, she should be able to solve it for her.

Yet, as Jian Manhui pulled out the document, Su Wanxia’s heart was suspended in midair. The feeling was like waiting for the judge to announce the verdict of a court case, teeming with unease, anxiety, and complicated, conflicting emotions.

Jian Manhui focused her gaze on the content of the contract, and with just one glance, her eyes widened in shock. Then she read another two lines, unbelievably looking up at Su Wanxia across from her.

Su Wanxia’s smile was tinged with bitterness. She knew this would be her expression, and then she gestured with her eyes for Jian Manhui to continue reading.

Jian Manhui bent her head, earnestly starting to read the earth-shattering secret on those two thin sheets of paper. Yes, a secret, a secret unknown to all of them.

The more she read, the more shocked she became, the more she couldn’t believe what she was seeing. She didn’t understand why none of them, not a single one, knew about these things, probably not even Mu Yingchen.

When she saw the signature of the person who signed off at the end, she let out a low whisper in shock: “Jing Lanzhi…”

Then she glanced at the date, instantly lifting her head, looking at Su Wanxia with a heart full of pity.

“Wanxia, it turns out you’d met Mu Yingchen’s mother long ago–”

Su Wanxia swallowed the bitterness in her heart and nodded slightly, “Yes.” Indeed, six years ago she had met his mother, that dignified, beautiful, and serious woman.

“So back then, you didn’t leave without a word, but rather you had to—”

“Yes, but time flies really fast, six years have passed in the blink of an eye.”

Jian Manhui asked puzzledly, “Wanxia, we truly didn’t know about your family situation at the time, and it was never reported either. Our family background may not compare to the Mu Family, but why didn’t you tell us? That way, we could have helped you to some extent, and you wouldn’t have had to sign such a contract.”

“Manhui, I know you would have helped me, but the situation was urgent at the time, and only the Mu Family could resolve it. Besides, if it hadn’t been for this matter, I wouldn’t have known that he was actually the heir of Asia’s Mu Group.”

As Su Wanxia spoke, her voice grew softer. She knew he came from a good family background—everyone in the school knew as well, but no one knew exactly which wealthy family it was. She never asked, and he never said. She thought that at most, he was a bit better off than her family, but she never imagined that the difference was like heaven and earth.

After hearing what Su Wanxia said, Jian Manhui also sighed. At that time, they didn’t know either, only finding out when Mu Yingchen formally took over the Mu Group from the television.

They were stunned at the time, feeling sorry that Wanxia had gone abroad. Little did they expect, it was all because of Mu Yingchen.

“What do you want to do now?”

“Help me see what the consequences of breaching this contract are?” She then added, “Or if there are any oversights.”

Jian Manhui’s expression grew serious. Although she had read it only once, she had already committed the main content to memory—this was the efficiency of a professional lawyer.

However, the matter was too significant, and she must read it through carefully once more.
