Chapter 452 The condition was that she had to go with him.
“But I don’t love him anymore. I’ve told him clearly many times that I don’t love him anymore, but he won’t give up. He thinks I still love him, and he thinks I originally belonged to him. So, he tries every means to destroy my relationship with Yan Ye and will stop at nothing to take me back.”
"Mengru, I'm telling the truth. I never intended to see you make a fool of yourself."
"Is that so?" Jiang Mengru gave a bitter, cold laugh, then roared, "Then why didn't you tell me that Xu Shaojun wasn't the real Xu Shaojun, but your ex Lu Tingyun in disguise?"
“Mengru, don’t you understand? I was just like you before, unaware that Xu Shaojun was actually Lu Tingyun in disguise. It wasn’t until I saw that white jade pendant that I realized. That white jade pendant was left to Lu Tingyun by his mother. Lu Tingyun used this pendant to push me into Yan Ye’s arms. I have a deep impression of this pendant, so I recognized it at first glance, which is why I reacted that way.”
"..." Jiang Mengru was stunned for a long time before she murmured, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
She never expected the truth to be like this.
If she had told her sooner, she wouldn't have hated her so much. Indeed, if she had known about this earlier, she wouldn't have said those things to Yan Ye.
“I’m worried that if you know too much, Lu Tingyun won’t let you off the hook.”
After a moment of silence, Jiang Mengru said, "I misunderstood you. Don't worry, I will explain it to Yan Ye."
"Night didn't believe you."
"Then call me..."
"I want to ask you for Lu Tingyun's phone number. Yan Ye was kidnapped by him last night."
"Heh, heh..." Jiang Mengru suddenly sneered again, "Yue Yirou, if you want Lu Tingyun's phone number, can't you come up with a more convincing reason? Yan Ye was kidnapped by him? Heh... and you still say you don't love Lu Tingyun anymore? I almost fell for your trick again just now, I really didn't expect you to be like this..."
“Mengru, I’m not lying to you. What I said just now is true. It’s also true that Yan Ye was captured by Lu Tingyun. Lu Tingyun is the real culprit who killed Yan Ye’s parents. After Yan Ye found out about this last night, he went to find Lu Tingyun to take revenge, and then he was captured by Lu Tingyun.”
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. If it weren't, I wouldn't have asked you for Lu Tingyun's phone number. Mengru, please tell me, okay? I'm so worried about Yan Ye. Lu Tingyun hates Yan Ye so much. If we can't find them again, I'm so worried..."
Yue Yirou couldn't continue speaking and choked up.
She was really worried about Yan Ye.
In a small villa near the sea, Night Baby lay on the floor, holding a large lump of mud in his hand. His handsome face was also covered in mud, and his eyelids were drooping.
"Uncle, Night Baby is really sleepy, Night Baby wants to sleep..."
Lu Tingyun was sitting on the sofa next to her, watching a short video on her phone. When she heard Ye Baobao's words, she didn't even look up and said, "Didn't you want to see your sister? Your sister will be here soon. Play with the mud for a while longer, and you'll see your sister soon."
"But it's already dawn, and Night Baby is really sleepy." Night Baby yawned as she spoke, then closed her eyes and said sleepily, "Night Baby wants to sleep."
Lu Tingyun looked up at him, thought for a moment and said, "Alright then, you go inside and sleep for a while. When your sister comes, I'll go in and wake you up."
"Okay, Uncle, when my sister comes, you must remember to wake me up." Night Baby opened her eyes, threw away the mud in her hand, and got up from the floor.
Night Baby ran into the room, washed her hands in the bathroom before climbing into bed to sleep.
About five minutes later, Lu Tingyun turned off the video, stood up from the sofa, quietly walked into the room, stood by the bed for a while, and only after confirming that Ye Baobao was really asleep did she turn around and leave the room.
He hadn't slept all night and was actually quite tired.
But he didn't want to sleep; he was waiting for Yue Yirou's call, but he waited all night and didn't receive a call from her.
He didn't know her new number and couldn't contact her; he could only wait for her to call him.
But why hasn't she called him yet? Doesn't she know to ask Jiang Mengru for his phone number?
Did Jiang Mengru never boast to him that he had specially gotten her a card?
After hesitating for a while, Lu Tingyun decided to call Jiang Mengru to ask about it. If Jiang Mengru hadn't told Yue Yirou about it, he would have someone send the video he had taken to Xingye Pavilion.
Just as Lu Tingyun found Jiang Mengru's number and was about to call her, his phone suddenly rang.
It was an unfamiliar number, but he knew it was Yue Yirou's new number.
Lu Tingyun couldn't help but smile, walked to the window, and pressed the answer button.
As soon as the call connected, Lu Tingyun spoke first: "Yi Rou, I've been waiting for your call for so long."
Yue Yirou was silent for a few seconds before speaking, her tone pleading: "Tingyun, please let Yan Ye go. Don't make another mistake, okay? You've already killed his parents, isn't that enough?"
"Of course not enough."
“Tingyun… your father committed suicide back then. It’s not my father-in-law’s fault at all. He gave him a way out; he couldn’t accept the company’s bankruptcy, which is why he chose to end his life. You can’t shift the blame onto my father-in-law, and you certainly can’t impose your hatred on his descendants. Tingyun, turn back before it’s too late. Release Yan…”
Before Yue Yirou could finish speaking, Lu Tingyun hung up the phone. Then she received several short videos from him: one of Ye Baobao playing in the mud on the floor, another of her crawling like a turtle, and a third of her crying and shouting that she was Ye Baobao and wanted to find her older sister...
If these videos were to circulate, they would be enough to destroy Yan Ye and the Xingye Group.
Before she could call Lu Tingyun again, Lu Tingyun called first.
"You saw the videos? Yi Rou, I can let Yan Ye go, and I can delete these videos and not post them online, but on the condition that you come back to me and run away with me."
Yue Yirou gripped her phone tightly and gritted her teeth, saying, "You mean what you say?"
"If you agree, then it's a deal."
As Lu Tingyun gazed at the rolling waves outside the window, her mind filled with Yue Yirou's delicate and gentle face, she was completely unaware that a tall and handsome figure was tiptoeing out of the room behind her.
Night Baby was actually pretending to be asleep. He was just not smart, but his intelligence didn't match his age and height. When dawn broke, he still hadn't seen his sister. Having watched so many cartoons, he realized that he had encountered bad people.
He had observed that he and this wicked uncle were the only ones in the villa, and there was no one guarding the outside. As long as he could sneak out when the wicked uncle wasn't paying attention, he could escape.
After tiptoeing to the door, Ye Baobao watched Lu Tingyun's back as she carefully turned the doorknob.
