Chapter 2292 - 2293: No Escape Even With Wings
Night fell, darkness shrouded the entire land, and a cold wind blew, sending chills rising from deep within one’s heart!
In the southeastern city, Chu household!
After meeting Qin Rumeng, Huangfu Yueli came back looking completely wilted, like a frostbitten eggplant, appearing listless and dispirited.
Although Chu Ji had asked Huangfu Yueli what was going on, Huangfu Yueli did not tell Chu Ji.
Now, night had fallen, and Chu Yunlong, who had been busy outside all day, returned home. Upon seeing his wife Huangfu Yueli looking listless, his brow immediately furrowed.
After taking a few steps to Huangfu Yueli’s side, Chu Yunlong softly asked, "Ali, what’s wrong?"
Huangfu Yueli glanced at Chu Yunlong, her face full of bitterness, and said, "I saw Rumeng today!"
Upon hearing this, seeing Huangfu Yueli’s complexion, Chu Yunlong seemed to instantly understand something, and could not help but sigh softly, then slowly said, "She still holds a deep grudge against you!"
Huangfu Yueli gently nodded, "Yes, wanting her to have no hatred towards me—I’m afraid it’s impossible in this lifetime."
"But I understand, it’s not her fault; I can only blame myself. If it weren’t for me, how could Rumeng be like this towards me..."
Saying this, Huangfu Yueli sighed lightly.
This sigh was full of melancholy, as if coming from previous lives, appearing very distant.
"Ali, back then you didn’t have a choice; if there had been any way, you wouldn’t have done it." Chu Yunlong softly comforted, "Moreover, Fenghuang hasn’t blamed you!"
"That’s because my sister is generous," Huangfu Yueli said, her face full of bitterness.
"Actually, you should tell Rumeng what happened back then; maybe her hatred for you would lessen a bit." Chu Yunlong said softly.
Huangfu Yueli gently shook her head, saying, "Forget it, no matter what, what’s done is done, regardless of the reasons."
Listening to Huangfu Yueli’s words, Chu Yunlong sighed softly, his face also showing helplessness.
"Now I just hope that Xunhuan won’t hate me..."
"Rumeng isn’t the kind to gossip, and even if she talks, she wouldn’t exaggerate." Chu Yunlong said confidently, "Besides, Ye Xunhuan isn’t someone who doesn’t know the truth; he should be able to guess that back then, you had your own difficulties and unwillingness!"
"But do you know? Today Rumeng warned me to keep Chu Ji away from Xunhuan, or she might target Chu Ji..."
"She’s just that kind of person, and do you think she hasn’t known about Chu Ji all along?" Chu Yunlong said lightly, "If she wanted to do something, she would have done it long ago, without anyone knowing—how could she let you know!"
Chu Yunlong seemed to understand Qin Rumeng very well.
"True!" Huangfu Yueli nodded lightly, "She’s someone who’s sharp-tongued but soft-hearted."
...
Meanwhile, at the Xiahao household, after dinner, Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi returned to their room.
After returning to the room, Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but ask Qiu Ruoxi if she had inquired what happened between Qin Rumeng and Huangfu Yueli.
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s inquiry, Qiu Ruoxi’s face slowly showed a look of difficulty.
After all, Huangfu Yueli had once hurt Ye Xunhuan’s mother, Qin Fenghuang; she truly didn’t know how to start talking to Ye Xunhuan about this.
"Today, you told Chu Ji to bring her mother over, right?" Qiu Ruoxi did not immediately answer Ye Xunhuan’s question but asked in return.
Ye Xunhuan did not hide anything from Qiu Ruoxi, directly nodding in admission.
"Don’t do that anymore; my aunt really doesn’t like her!" Qiu Ruoxi said softly, "If they meet again next time, my aunt might really take action!"
Qiu Ruoxi’s words made Ye Xunhuan understand that Qiu Ruoxi must know something, so he asked again.
Qiu Ruoxi still didn’t open her mouth but pondered slightly before telling Ye Xunhuan the original words from Qin Rumeng, albeit briefly.
After listening to Qiu Ruoxi’s simple account, Ye Xunhuan finally understood!
"No wonder my aunt reacts like that when she sees her."
"Don’t you hate Huangfu Yueli?" Qiu Ruoxi asked with slight surprise.
"I know nothing about what happened back then, so I can’t judge, and since my mother doesn’t seem to blame her, I don’t need to hold her accountable!" Ye Xunhuan said softly, "Of course, I still feel uncomfortable inside."
Although Ye Xunhuan didn’t hate Huangfu Yueli, feeling uncomfortable inside was unavoidable.
After all, Qin Fenghuang is his mother, yet she was stabbed by Huangfu Yueli; how can Ye Xunhuan feel comfortable?
Not just being stabbed, even hearing that his mother was bullied would make him want to fight the other party, right?
Qiu Ruoxi can understand Ye Xunhuan and knows that what Ye Xunhuan says is factual!
...
Time flew by like a fleeting horse, passing swiftly; in the blink of an eye, three days had gone by, and yesterday Qin Rumeng had already left the southeastern city, returning to the capital.
Currently, the entire Fenghua Group is managed by Qin Rumeng. Though Tang Yurou can carry half the responsibility, Qin Rumeng can’t be like Ye Xunhuan, completely disregarding everything either.
However, when Qin Rumeng left, Chu Yunlong appeared at the airport; it was unclear what he talked about with Qin Rumeng, but the atmosphere seemed harmonious!
Today, Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi also planned to return to Jiangzhong City, since Qiu Ruoxi had a pile of things to deal with too!
As for Michelle, she was notified by Louis III, and would also return to the Vatican today!
Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi intended to leave today, but Mu Shuyi and Xiahao Yunting were very reluctant. Yet understanding that their children had their own matters to attend to, they did not try to retain them further and let the two leave.
Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi’s flight was scheduled for a little after noon, but they had already arrived at the airport and were waiting.
Because they carried no luggage, they were traveling light.
Time flew by speedily, finally reaching the boarding time for Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi.
Upon the broadcast announcement, Qiu Ruoxi and Ye Xunhuan proceeded to board the plane via the boarding gate as instructed.
But just as Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi boarded the plane, Ji Ziyan had already received the news, and he promptly informed Abe Matsuyasu!
Upon knowing this, Abe Matsuyasu’s face was filled with excitement.
"Ji Ziyan, are you sure everything is ready, without any omissions..."
"Mr. Abe, rest assured, all passengers on the plane have been replaced, and even the pilots have been bribed by me..." Ji Ziyan assured confidently.
"Good, this time I’ll make sure he won’t escape!"
