Chapter 396: Truth
Ye Feimo slept for three days straight before he finally woke up.
During that time, something happened that Cheng Anya found amusing amidst the sadness. It was the fact that Ye Sanshao gave Ye Feimo a bath. When the children were young, Ye Sanshao rarely bathed them. He bathed Ye Hailan more often. He had only bathed Ye Feimo a handful of times, no more than ten times in her memory. Ye Feimo started bathing himself after he turned five.
Now, his son was knocked unconscious and smelled terrible. When Ye Sanshao came home, he immediately grabbed him and threw him into the bathtub.
He had to be clean before he could go to bed.
Ye Sanshao was disgusted with Ye Feimo. Cheng Anya said, "You’re just jealous that your son has a better body than you, right?"
Truth be told, Ye Sanshao was in great shape, but he couldn’t compare to his son in his twenties. He was just too old. Ye Sanshao coldly raised an eyebrow and was even more disgusted with Ye Feimo.
"Why would I be jealous of a stick figure like him?"
Cheng Anya shook her head. "If you won’t wash him, I will."
Cheng Anya was about to go into the bathroom to help Ye Feimo, but Ye Sanshao immediately pulled her back and threw her out. "I’ll do it. You can’t look at my son’s body, even if he’s my son."
"I’ve touched him countless times when he was a baby," she said.
Ye Sanshao was speechless.
The result of the argument was that Ye Sanshao went to bathe Ye Feimo. According to Ye Sanshao’s description, it was like bathing a pig. He scrubbed him from head to toe, changed the water several times, and finally got him clean.
In the end, Ye Sanshao calmly concluded, "His body is not as good as mine was when I was his age."
Cheng Anya was speechless.
His arrogance only grew with age.
Cheng Anya dried Ye Feimo’s hair so he could sleep more comfortably.
In those three days, the truth came out. The security cameras in the hotel lobby and cafe showed everything. When Han Bi helped Wen Nuan go up to get coffee, she seemed to be very unwell, almost drunk. She drank a cup of coffee and then passed out.
Then, after a while, she seemed to wake up and went to the front desk to get a room to rest. Han Bi stayed in the cafe and waited for Fang Liucheng to come up. After he talked to Han Bi about something, he went into the room and never came out.
No one knew what happened in the room.
Cheng Anya called Han Bi and said with a cold laugh, "Miss Han, what a clever trick. You did it flawlessly."
"I don’t know what you’re talking about, Mrs. Ye," Han Bi said with a faint laugh. "I really don’t know anything about what happened that day. I couldn’t stop Wen Nuan from doing what she did."
Cheng Anya said in a low voice, "Don’t pretend to be innocent. I believe Wen Nuan wouldn’t do anything like that. A video tape doesn’t prove anything. If I find out that you were behind this, Han Bi, you will have a very miserable life."
"Mrs. Ye, why are you treating me this way?" Han Bi asked sharply. "Seven years ago, you set me up with another man and had Ye Feimo catch me in the act. Now, Wen Nuan is doing the same thing. Why are you treating her so differently from me? You are clearly playing favorites."
"You know your own worth. A woman who would sell my son for fame and fortune, why would I be nice to her? Don’t compare yourself to Wen Nuan. In my heart, she is a treasure, and you are a weed," Cheng Anya said coldly. She didn’t want to listen to Han Bi’s nonsense anymore and hung up the phone.
She just couldn’t figure out what went wrong.
Fang Liucheng said that Han Bi had told him that Wen Nuan had gotten a room to rest and asked him to go and take her home. But what happened after he went into the room seemed to be different. For some reason, Cheng Anya believed that Wen Nuan hadn’t done anything to betray Ye Feimo.
Now, the tragedy had already happened. It was too late to find out what happened that night. Even if they did, Wen Nuan’s baby would not come back, and the cracks between her and Ye Feimo could not be repaired.
Cheng Anya went to Ye Feimo and Wen Nuan’s apartment. There was a puddle of blood on the stairs on the 45th floor. Ye Sanshao’s preliminary conclusion was that Wen Nuan had a miscarriage after falling down the stairs. As for what role Ye Feimo played, he would have to say it himself.
For three days, the news about Wen Nuan was still all over the place, both good and bad.
The Ye family held a press conference. Ye Sanshao and Cheng Anya both attended. They officially announced Wen Nuan’s identity and stated that the miscarriage was an accident and had nothing to do with anyone else. They also said that they didn’t want any negative news about the Ye family’s daughter-in-law to appear in the mainstream media.
That’s when the news about Wen Nuan was finally suppressed.
Cheng Anya knew that Wen Nuan had been discharged from the hospital. She went to the Wen family’s house every day to see her. Wen Nuan’s mother said helplessly, "It’s no different from her being in the hospital. She stays upstairs all day and doesn’t come out. She eats very little and doesn’t talk. I’m worried that if this continues, Nuan Nuan won’t be able to handle it."
Cheng Anya looked upstairs and sighed helplessly. Wen Nuan’s mother said, "Did they get into a fight? Is that why the baby..."
"My dear, I guarantee that Feimo would never hit his wife," Cheng Anya said in a low voice. Wen Nuan’s mother sighed. "I’m not saying Feimo did. It’s just that Wen Nuan is holding it all in and won’t talk. I’m worried."
Cheng Anya was silent. Yes, she was worried too.
Wen Nuan’s temper was a lot like her own when she was younger. If the baby was gone because of Feimo, then their relationship was at an end. Cheng Anya was smart. She could tell from the fact that Ye Feimo had been guarding the hospital for so many days but hadn’t gone to see Wen Nuan. The baby was definitely gone because of him, but she couldn’t believe that Feimo would hit Wen Nuan.
On the third day, Cheng Anya came to see Wen Nuan and had just left when the Du siblings came to visit. In the past few days, many of Wen Nuan’s friends had come. Wen Nuan’s parents would go upstairs and ask Wen Nuan if she wanted to see them. Dudi was worried and came to visit, and Du Yueying insisted on coming along. Dudi had no choice but to let her.
Ye Feimo woke up on the fourth day.
Cheng Anya was going upstairs to see him and saw that he was awake. She opened the curtains, and the room was filled with sunlight.
Ye Feimo was a little out of it. He then remembered being beaten up by Ye Sanshao. He quickly got out of bed, changed his clothes, and wanted to go to the hospital. Cheng Anya said calmly, "Don’t rush. Wen Nuan is already home. We’ll go see her together later."
Ye Feimo stopped and sat back on the bed in a daze. After a while, he went to the bathroom to wash up. The bruises on his face had faded a little and weren’t very noticeable, but he still looked like a mess.
Ye Feimo looked at himself in the mirror and thought of the moment he accidentally pushed Wen Nuan down the stairs. It felt like a cold, poisonous snake was biting his heart, a deep and unbearable pain.
The image in his mind became clearer and clearer. The image of Wen Nuan covered in blood seemed to be etched into his heart. He let out a loud shout and punched the mirror.
