Chapter 48 -48: Isn’t it too late to come to me now?
Luo Bingbing looked down at her with the pride of a victor, “Even if you scream your throat hoarse, Sihan won’t give you as much as a glance. Knowing your business here, pleading for a murderer; your values really do match those of your cheap mother—despicable and shameless.”
“Li Xue is not a murderer.”
“Not succeeding in murder doesn’t make her not a murderer, does it?”
“She’s your makeup artist, and you’ve been very satisfied with her makeup skills, making you stunning in front of the camera more than once. What’s the benefit for you in losing such a makeup artist?”
“Seeing you in misfortune and pain is much more satisfying than losing a makeup artist. Also, Sihan said if you keep wailing here, you’ll face the consequences!” Luo Bingbing turned and left.
Tang Yu wanted to say something but dared not make a sound.
Is this the message Sihan wanted her to convey?
Yes, her presence here disturbed Sihan’s good time—he would only despise her more.
Would Li Xue have to spend the night at the police station?
Tang Yu lingered outside the large iron gate for a while, and seeing no one coming out, plus the fact that it was time to pick up the kids, she had to leave first.
Not long after Tang Yu left, Luo Bingbing and Lin Shuhuan came out together.
“It seems the person has left, you did well.” Lin Shuhuan said.
“The daughter of a mistress, I don’t even take her seriously,” Luo Bingbing said with confidence.
Lin Shuhuan, however, didn’t feel the same way. One Yu Zhaohui had already caused the Ye Family to be torn apart; this daughter might very well surpass the blue. She reminded her, “Don’t take it lightly, and focus more on Sihan. Winning a man’s heart is most important. Without me, you wouldn’t even have been able to get in.”
“I’ll remember your words, Aunt Lin.”
Tang Yu had dinner ready and sat down to eat with the four little ones.
The kids were enjoying their meal, but Tang Yu was somewhat distracted.
Xibao tugged at her clothes, snapping her back to reality. Looking at her daughter’s chubby, adorable face, she asked, “What’s wrong?”
Xibao extended a chubby little fist, and Tang Yu, thinking she was being playful, held it in her palm.
Xibao shook her head, and after opening her chubby fist, there was a small paper-cut flower inside.
“Is this for me?” Tang Yu asked.
“This is the little red flower Xibao got, for Mommy!” Haohao spoke for Xibao.
Tang Yu smiled warmly, “Thank you, Xibao.”
Xibao’s smile was bright, her eyes curving, full of innocent charm.
Tang Yu thought, was her bad mood that obvious? She shouldn’t let such negative emotions affect time with the kids.
“Mommy, why hasn’t Snow Mommy come back yet?” Junjun asked.
“Is she working overtime?” Zhengzheng.
“Is she coming back late?” Haohao.
“Hm?” Xibao.
Tang Yu hesitated, then started to soothe the children, “Yes, she might not be back until tomorrow.”
She had to lie; she couldn’t tell the children that Li Xue was in trouble, at the police station.
Outside it was pitch black, and her heart was full of worry for Li Xue—she must be scared in a place like that!
Li Xue wasn’t much different from her; from a family with no background, her parents were honest country folks from her hometown, struggling alone in this city.
For ordinary people, facing a lawsuit meant finding no help.
At this time, Sihan was probably with Luo Bingbing—what a man and a woman do together, you don’t have to think to know.
Therefore, she couldn’t go to Sihan, afraid of provoking his anger.
After a night of torment, she sent the kids to school, then raced to the KING Group.
As Sihan opened the door to his office, he spotted Tang Yu waiting there; his dark eyes were cold and fierce, “Who let you in?”
Desperate, Tang Yu stepped forward, “Mr. Ye, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have done what I did that night—I wasn’t thinking clearly because of the alcohol. Please forgive me? I’m willing to accept any punishment, just don’t take it out on others. Can you let Li Xue out?”
“Is it too late to beg me now?” Ye Sihan was indifferent.
“I went to the Ye Mansion yesterday, but Luo Bingbing was there. I didn’t want to disturb your good time, so I left earlier,” Tang Yu awkwardly glanced at him, “I hope more than anyone that Li Xue would have been released that night.”
Ye Sihan’s dark eyes glanced at her coldly and moved towards the resting room, “Get out.”
It wasn’t easy for Tang Yu to see Ye Sihan, how could she just leave like that?
She absolutely couldn’t let Li Xue spend another night at the police station.
She rushed forward, following him into the resting room, “Mr. Ye, I beg you to release Li Xue. She’s my only friend, she has been so kind to me, and yet I’ve caused her to be detained at the police station. She’s already been held for one night, isn’t that punishment enough?”
Ye Sihan turned around, his presence intimidating, “Do I need to say it a second time?”
Tang Yu didn’t want to leave, yet she felt powerless and stood there at a loss.
Ye Sihan was not short of women, she feared that offering herself would not save Li Xue.
“From now on, whatever you say goes, I won’t resist anymore. Is that okay?” Tang Yu bit her lip, her expression filled with unease.
“Kneel,” Ye Sihan’s sharp black eyes stared at her as he spoke firmly.
Tang Bao’s heart pounded heavily in her chest, believing she understood his meaning, she knelt down in front of him, even taking the initiative to do so.
Her wrist was suddenly gripped, and her slender, fair wrist looked defenseless in that palm. 𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑝𝘶𝘣.𝑐𝘰𝘮
Tang Yu looked up, confused.
“Kneel at the office door until I am satisfied.”
Tang Yu thought, wouldn’t everyone who comes and goes see her? What would they say?
“Unwilling?”
“I… I am willing.” Tang Yu had no other choice but to get up and go out, kneeling outside the office door.
The first to see her was Xiao Yu, followed by the secretarial department, and then the whole KING Corporation began to whisper behind closed doors.
They speculated about how Tang Yu had offended the person in power at KING Corporation.
Would she still be able to live safely in Kyoto after this?
The thought was frightening.
Tang Yu endured the humiliation, kneeling from the morning until the afternoon, not even eating lunch, her knees ached to the bone, her body shaking, she could hardly hold on any longer.
What would satisfy Ye Sihan?
“Yo, who is this, why are they kneeling here?” Luo Bingbing walked over in her high heels.
Hearing this mocking voice, Tang Yu knew who it was.
“How pitiful, your little face is all pale. Do you want me to plead with Sihan on your behalf?” Luo Bingbing asked.
“No need, thank you.”
“You’re quite self-aware. Then kneel quietly here, and don’t disturb me and Sihan,” Luo Bingbing said and, after a confident knock on the door and receiving a low approving voice from inside, she entered proudly.
Tang Yu knew that she wouldn’t be able to get up for the rest of the day.
It wasn’t long before Luo Bingbing had entered that the door opened again.
The man’s long legs walked past her, even the breeze that brushed her face felt cold. Luo Bingbing followed him out, the two of them seemingly off to go somewhere.
“Mr. Ye…” Tang Yu called out weakly to him.
Without receiving a response, she watched helplessly as the back of Ye Sihan disappeared around the corner.
Tang Yu endured with her weak body until it turned dark, her head exceptionally heavy; her cold hadn’t yet cleared up.
Over and over in her mind, she told herself to hold on for the kids, to endure for Li Xue.
But her body had reached its limits.
She swayed, then fainted, lying at the doorway of the office.
