Chapter 124 -124: Vicious Game
“I gave you a chance.” Ye Sihan spoke coldly and without feeling as he stared at her, “Not confining you to the Ye Mansion, I’ve already been quite reasonable.”
Tang Yu was frantic, “For all the good I’ve done for you in the past, won’t you forgive me this once?”
“It’s non-negotiable.” Ye Sihan said sternly.
Tang Yu was both angry and anxious, her chest rose and fell rapidly, and she couldn’t hide the rage on her face no matter how much she tried.
“What, thinking of rebelling now?” Ye Sihan’s body leaned back, sinking into the black chair, his presence menacing and dangerous. “You’d better think about the consequences.”
Tang Yu bit her lip, held back and then held back some more, her hands at her sides clenched into fists, not to strike Ye Sihan, but to suppress the urges within her.
She was well aware that her fists could not reach Ye Sihan.
In the face of absolute power, it wasn’t just that her fists would be useless, even with a gun in hand.
After a long while, she loosened her fists and turned to leave.
Ye Sihan’s dark eyes watched the closing door, figuring she wouldn’t dare to retaliate.
There was a knock at the door, and upon granting permission, Xiao Yu entered, “Mr. Ye, Tang Yu has left the company. She didn’t let her assistant follow and didn’t take the company-arranged car either.”
Ye Sihan’s expression turned icy in an instant, “She didn’t let them follow, so they just didn’t?”
“That’s right.” Xiao Yu left and immediately arranged for the assistants and the driver to find Tang Yu, otherwise, they would be responsible for the consequences.
Tang Yu took a taxi straight home.
Li Xue was there and asked when she saw her, “Everything alright?”
“It’s nothing.” Tang Yu returned her phone to her.
Li Xue noticed her complexion was fine, but her mood seemed off, “What happened? Did something bad happen?”
Tang Yu shook her head, “Ye Sihan set up a studio for me and assigned two assistants and a driver, watching me all the time. It would be very easy for them to find out about the children.”
“Surely they won’t follow you around even if you’re not working, right?” Li Xue thought it was absurd. Is it necessary to control to such an extent?
“I don’t know…” Tang Yu sat on the sofa, both hands covering her face, feeling utterly hopeless.
“Don’t lose heart, there will always be a way out.” Li Xue comforted her. “Haven’t we always been very good at staying hidden?”
“Ye Yuli said he could take me away, should I?” Tang Yu lifted her face, seeking Li Xue’s opinion, her mind was in turmoil and she felt helpless. “If Ye Sihan finds out, wouldn’t it implicate him?”
“Why not try it?” Li Xue was also uncertain.
After all, Ye Sihan’s power was terrifying.
Even Ye Yuli couldn’t compete with him.
The mere thought was enough to make Tang Yu’s heart race.
Ye Yuli was Ye Sihan’s cousin, and with Lin Shuhuan’s favor on his side, they wouldn’t go too far with him.
But thinking about Ye Sihan’s kick towards Ye Yuli last night, it was unclear whether Ye Yuli had resisted or if Ye Sihan had held back.
“I… I’ll think about it more!”
Tang Yu retrieved her phone, and not long after staying at home, she and Li Xue left together.
Li Xue had work, and she needed to go to the film set.
But just as they reached the door, Zhou Rui and Chen Xindian hurried up, “Miss Tang, please get in the car!”
Tang Yu looked over to see a Mercedes-Benz minivan parked by the roadside.
“I don’t need it.” Tang Yu declined outright.
Zhou Rui said, “Miss Tang, please, just get in the car, will you?”
Tang Yu could see that both she and Chen Xindian looked troubled and hesitated.
If she didn’t comply, could Ye Sihan take it out on these assistants? Who would dare to defy Ye Sihan?
Tang Yu didn’t want to make it difficult for them, but who was there to consider her situation?
She had a temper, too.
“Let’s go!” Tang Yu pulled Li Xue’s hand and left.
As Li Xue walked ahead, she looked back at the two assistants and asked, “Is it really okay to do this?”
“It’s fine.” Tang Yu thought otherwise internally.
If she truly angered Ye Sihan, would he treat her as he had before?
After returning to the film set, Tang Yu started shooting and continued until lunchtime.
She had just entered the makeup room when the director’s assistant brought over a meal box.
It wasn’t the usual kind of meal box the actors ate, but rather portions that were individually separated, and the dishes were even more expensive, including the likes of spotted grouper.
There was no way this was the crew’s catering.
“I won’t eat,” Tang Yu refused, turning to leave, “I prefer the meal boxes.”
After speaking, she left.
The assistant looked at the delicious food in the meal boxes, perplexed. Weren’t these even better than your meal boxes?
Tang Yu went outside to get a meal box and found a small table to sit down at, eating quietly.
Her mind wandered to Ye Yuli.
Initially, she adamantly rejected his interference, not wanting to have any entanglement with him, yet now she found herself seriously considering it.
But there was one thing she was very worried about—if it really happened, what about Li Xue? And her family?
Li Xue would definitely tell her not to worry, but she couldn’t just do nothing.
Ye Sihan was someone who could do anything!
It was absolutely more than just a threat!
Being in such an indecisive state was utterly devastating!
After finishing her meal and having some rest time, Tang Yu played with her phone while sitting there.
Suddenly, an incoming call appeared, labeled ‘Ye Sihan.’
Tang Yu paused, her fingers trembling slightly with fright, almost accepting the call.
She didn’t want to answer, so she simply tossed her phone aside, out of sight but not out of mind.
Deep down, she truly hated Ye Sihan’s control over her.
The shooting continued until eleven o’clock.
Tang Yu changed out of her clothes and was ready to leave when she noticed several missed calls from Li Xue on her phone.
They were from ten o’clock.
Her first thought was: could something have happened to the kids?
In a rush, she dialed back, and after a long wait, the call was answered, “Sister Xue, did you call me? Is there something wrong with the kids?”
“I’m at a bar. Ye Sihan had someone pick me up from the neighborhood and bring me here, by force.”
Li Xue’s voice sounded somewhat floating, as if she had drunk too much.
Upon hearing this, Tang Yu instantly tensed up, “You’re at Crown? I’m coming right now.”
After hanging up, she requested the crew’s car to give her a lift away.
She was dropped off right in front of the Crown Bar.
After thanking the driver, Tang Yu rushed into the bar.
Finding the VIP room where Ye Sihan was located was easy—it was the most luxurious and spacious one.
The intimidating bouncers stationed at the door were the strongest sign of exclusion.
As Tang Yu approached and opened the door, the bouncers acted as if they didn’t see her and did not stop her.
For anyone else, it would have been different.
It was a place where not even a fly could get in without permission.
Once inside, Tang Yu saw Li Xue struggling to drink more from her glass.
There were numerous glasses of strong liquor on the coffee table, each with a stack of money underneath, apparently ten thousand yuan.
Finish a glass and you could take ten thousand yuan in cash.
In the bar, only the wealthy played such games.
A vicious game!
Li Xue couldn’t drink anymore but was forced to keep going.
The men and women in the VIP room were all egging her on, while Ye Sihan sat by himself in a corner, his legs crossed, exuding an air of quiet nobility, as if he was completely detached from the game happening in the room, cold-blooded and indifferent.
When Li Xue was about to continue with the next glass, someone knocked the glass from her hand.
Li Xue looked up, her vision too blurry to focus and recognized Tang Yu, “Tang Yu?”
