Chapter 58 -58: This is not for me to decide
Meng Jilin went to his friend’s office and gave him the medication.
“I really appreciate it. I’ve been so busy I didn’t even have time to go to the hospital,” his friend joked. “I really need to get married; if I had a wife, I wouldn’t have to trouble you.”
“A wife is meant to be cherished,” Meng Jilin said.
“You’re so gentle and talented, how come you don’t have a girlfriend? Don’t tell me you’re still secretly in love with the girl from high school?”
Meng Jilin’s expression flickered, and he stood up. “You’re busy, I should get going.”
Although they encountered the slightly alarming episode with Meng Jilin, Tang Yu and Li Xue still took the kids out to play until dark before returning.
Taking the quadruplets out was rare, and the kids were having so much fun, naturally they didn’t want to disappoint them.
Seeing the quadruplets’ soft, adorable faces filled with pitiful little expressions, it was enough to make Tang Yu want to give them his heart.
After returning, Tang Yu planned to arrange a time to meet Meng Jilin and see when Li Xue would be available, because Li Xue would need to watch the kids during the scar removal surgery, and it would be best to schedule it around work hours.
“You… haven’t slept with Ye Sihan?” Li Xue asked in surprise.
Tang Yu shook his head.
“I thought you had… that’s right, if you had, Ye Sihan, being such a sharp man, would have become suspicious upon seeing the c-section scar on your abdomen.”
Tang Yu pursed her lips. Ye Sihan hadn’t touched her yet because he needed to torment his prey slowly.
But she couldn’t guarantee Ye Sihan wouldn’t escalate his tormenting methods from now on.
“I think if the grievances with Ye Sihan are resolved, even if he finds out you have children, he won’t make things difficult for them,” Li Xue said.
“How do you resolve it? Have Ye Sihan accept my mom? That’s definitely impossible,” Tang Yu said.
Besides, there was one thing she hadn’t told Li Xue.
That was the true identity of the children.
If Ye Sihan might not target children so young, he would definitely take them away from her.
Ye Sihan, cunningly terrifying, would deduce the timing of their one-night stand from three years ago, and he would surely conduct a paternity test. Then she wouldn’t be able to hide it even if she wanted to.
Tang Yu didn’t want to scare Li Xue, so she kept it to herself, fearing that Li Xue would be too frightened to sleep, worrying about what to do with Ye Sihan’s four heirs.
Knowing Ye Sihan’s power and being forced to stay by his side was agonizing for her as their mother!
That morning, Li Xue had taken the kids to school while Tang Yu prepared to tidy up their toys before heading to the film set, as her part was scheduled after nine o’clock.
As she was about to leave the house, she received a call from Li Xue. “Are you still at home? I have something to tell you! The Beijing Institute is doing a promotion and the quadruplets have been selected!”
“How are they going to promote it?” Tang Yu hadn’t sensed the gravity of the situation yet. “They’re not going to make a promotional video, are they?”
“No, it’s that KING Group wants to sponsor the quadruplets!”
“What!” Tang Yu’s mind went blank for a moment as her thoughts raced.
“Don’t worry, they haven’t discovered that you’re their mother. But, the kids’ information and your information will be sent to the office of KING Group’s head this morning,” Li Xue said with breathless urgency.
That’s when Tang Yu realized the seriousness!
Shooting a video was fine, sponsoring kids at the school was fine, but exposing the children’s mother’s information was a big deal!
“I’m heading to KING Group right now!” Tang Yu hung up the phone and rushed out the door, hurrying to catch a taxi.
Sitting in the cab, she was anxiously concerned.
Looking at the time on her phone and based on her past experience working at KING Group, Ye Sihan usually wouldn’t go to the office until after nine-thirty.
So, if the information was delivered to KING Group, it would first go to Xiao Yu’s office.
After Xiao Yu had dealt with it thoroughly, it would then be delivered to Ye Sihan’s desk!
She had to stop it before that happened!
Tang Yu felt a crushing sense of despair, not knowing whether tomorrow or an accident would come first. She had never anticipated Ye Sihan would sponsor children from the Beijing Institute, much less that the Institute would select the quadruplets!
At the end of the day, this is a selection from the Beijing Institute, a single-parent family that meets the criteria, and moreover, rare quadruplets, definitely eye-catching.
And all Ye Sihan needs to do is sign his name on the document!
He doesn’t even know that the child he’s sponsoring is actually his own offspring!
But Tang Yu’s information cannot be sent up there!
There are no pictures of her, but there is a mobile number as a contact method! Xiao Yu will definitely call that number to communicate with the quadruplets’ mother.
With just one dial, the name stored in that phone will pop up.
Wouldn’t Tang Yu be directly executed on the spot?
What kind of luck is this?
The key issue is the traffic jam on the road; she’s nearly having a heart attack!
Finally arriving at KING Group, Tang Yu got out of the car and hurried into the building.
Not only could she not run, but she also had to pass the front desk with a calm demeanor and greet them before entering the elevator.
Otherwise, the surveillance would capture her panic, which could arouse suspicion.
When she reached the top authority level, as expected, Ye Sihan was not yet there.
As she was heading to the secretary department, she saw from afar Xiao Yu preparing to enter his office.
Tang Yu’s heart leaped because she heard the assistant in the secretary department say to Xiao Yu, “Assistant Xiao, the files from the Beijing Institute have been placed on your desk.”
“Okay,” Xiao Yu then entered his office.
Tang Yu immediately went over and knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
Xiao Yu sat down behind his desk, just touched the file folder, and when he looked up and saw the person coming in, he was surprised, “Tang Yu? What brings you here? Looking for Mr. Ye?”
“Um, it seems he hasn’t arrived yet,” Tang Yu said.
“Forgot? Mr. Ye usually comes after nine.”
“I remembered once I was at KING Group, so I thought I’d sit for a while. Is that okay?” Tang Yu asked, her eyes glancing towards the desk out of the corner of her eye.
In front of Xiao Yu, there indeed was a file laying there, still clipped shut and unopened.
Then, there was still time.
Xiao Yu felt that she had something to say, otherwise, she wouldn’t just come here to sit.
“Have a seat,” Xiao Yu invited, asking, “Would you like something to drink? Coffee?”
“No thanks,” Tang Yu sat down on the couch, and after a pause, she asked, “How long will I have to stay in the entertainment industry? It feels less appealing than working at KING Group!”
“That’s not for me to decide.”
“But since you’re Mr. Ye’s assistant, you should be able to understand some of his thoughts,” Tang Yu said.
“That’s only in regards to work, not personal matters,” Xiao Yu replied, and seeing Tang Yu’s complexion wasn’t too good, he was about to say something more diplomatically when a knock sounded on the office door, and the assistant brought in coffee.
After the assistant came in, she went to the desk and put the coffee down gently in front of Xiao Yu and then left.
Xiao Yu took a sip of coffee and then heard Tang Yu ask, “You must be busy, right? Then I’ll go first.” She stood up, indicating her intention to leave.
“I’m not busy at the moment,” Xiao Yu said.
“Is that… the file from the Beijing Institute?” Tang Yu noticed the large black font on the file folder.
“Yes.”
“Does KING Group still deal with the Beijing Institute’s matters? Isn’t it only major issues that Mr. Ye takes care of?” Tang Yu couldn’t help but move closer to the office desk.
