He Mingrun still looked at her with some confusion, "Yuan Yuan, regret what?"
Meng Yuan's face turned even uglier, "Regret being with me!"
Meng Yuan was almost crying with anger. If she got hurt again this time, she would completely lose faith in love.
He Mingrun was stunned for a moment, then embraced her and said gently, "Silly girl, why would you think that?"
"But what's wrong with you today?" Meng Yuan looked at him worriedly. The He Mingrun she knew was confident, composed, refined, and gentle.
But today's He Mingrun was as闷 as if he had lost everything.
He Mingrun took a deep breath, then smiled and said, "Actually, I really want to tell you, but I'm afraid you'll worry with me."
"Ah! How could that be? You haven't told me, so how do you know I'll worry with you?" Meng Yuan's lifted heart instantly settled. It was better that it wasn't what she had thought.
He Mingrun took her hand and looked at her quietly, "Little girl, since you say that, then let's worry together. I'll tell you what's going on with me today."
He Mingrun told her what Mu Jiuchen had said to him.
After Meng Yuan listened, she was stunned. Why would something like this, which only appeared in novels, happen to him?
"So, your current mother isn't your birth mother, but your aunt. Then what about your brother?" Meng Yuan asked in one breath.
He Mingrun narrowed his eyes and said, "When Ming Xin was born, I was sent abroad to study management."
He had never met his birth mother, so there was no basis for comparison!
"By the time I returned, Ming Xin had already been born for three months."
"Ah... Then maybe neither of you brothers are her biological children? After all, the two of you look exactly alike. If the elder one isn't her child, it's very likely the second one isn't either." Meng Yuan liked to speculate about many things.
He Mingrun was startled and said, "That can't be true. My father wouldn't be so foolish as to not be able to distinguish his own wife, right?"
Meng Yuan narrowed her eyes and said, "Your mother's surname is Wu, and your father doesn't even know your mother has an older sister. Then we can just investigate and find out."
"How do we investigate?" He Mingrun looked at Meng Yuan excitedly.
Meng Yuan smiled and said, "I'm an expert in this area. Don't overthink it for now. Tell me about your maternal grandparents' family, their address and house number. Tell me everything, and I'll check it tonight and send it to you tomorrow morning."
He Mingrun shook his head slightly, then looked at her deeply and said, "I'm not going back. I don't want to see her again. After dinner, let's go back to the apartment together. I'll accompany you to investigate. I've been thinking too much on my own, and I didn't sleep well last night."
Meng Yuan looked at his tired face, and finally felt heartbroken and softened, "Okay!"
He Mingrun held her hands tighter, buried his head in her shoulder, and said softly and gently, "Yuan Yuan, what would I do without you by my side?"
Meng Yuan didn't know how to answer him, so she simply remained silent.
The two embraced each other for a long time before He Mingrun asked for the dishes to be served.
After dinner, they planned to buy some daily necessities and return to the apartment.
However, as soon as they stepped out of the restaurant, Wu Yuan and her entourage blocked their path. Yang Minjing was also with Wu Yuan.
She was wearing a custom-made black mini dress, elegant and noble, and looked at the two of them with a deep gaze.
Yang Minjing then looked at their clasped hands, and her face became extremely gloomy.
He Mingrun coldly looked at the mother in front of him, "What do you want this time?"
Wu Yuan walked over, raised her hand, and slapped He Mingrun. "Slap..."
He Mingrun did not dodge this slap; instead, he protected Meng Yuan tightly in his arms.
"Mingrun, why didn't you dodge?" Meng Yuan looked at him with concern.
This damned woman, couldn't she just talk properly instead of hitting people?
Moreover, she brought so many people here, was she trying to capture He Mingrun?
He Mingrun chuckled softly, "Yuan Yuan, don't worry, I'm fine."
Wu Yuan was furious. He had really resigned!
He had truly resigned!
Upon hearing this news, she was stunned and still couldn't believe it. This was the He Corporation that he had worked hard to build, and he was just walking away.
And He Wenxun was furious with her today because of He Mingrun's resignation. Her usually gentle and understanding husband had spoken to her so fiercely today, which she found unacceptable.
"He Mingrun, you actually went to the company and resigned for this woman. Do you know what kind of huge losses your actions will bring to the company?" Wu Yuan yelled at him, somewhat hysterically.
He Mingrun looked at her and retorted with a smile, "Then why don't you also consider the benefits I've brought to the He Corporation over the years?"
Wu Yuan was stunned. He was just a money-making tool. This kid was exceptionally good at business.
In just a few years, he had made the He Corporation the second-largest family in Jinshi City.
Based on this alone, he was very suitable for making money and was a good money-making machine.
However, this machine had now malfunctioned and wanted to defy her will. How could that be allowed?
In the He family, he was the one who could make the most money!
Therefore, he had to stay in the He family.
Wu Yuan said proudly, "That is what you should do, and what you must do. Now come back with me and marry Jing Jing. She is already your fiancée. Didn't you let Miss Meng know?"
The best way to get rid of a woman was to let her know that the man already had a fiancée.
Meng Yuan looked at He Mingrun abruptly.
He Mingrun held her hand tighter, whispered to comfort her, and then lightly kissed her lips before saying, "Honey, that's not true. My heart is only with you. As for someone named Jing, I don't know her."
In front of the woman he loved most, facing the woman who wanted to destroy their relationship, he would use public displays of affection to overwhelm her.
Meng Yuan: "..." This man was truly charming when he was being flirtatious.
Yang Minjing: "..."
She then walked towards the two of them, smiling, "Mingrun, how can you talk about me like that? We grew up together since childhood, and I've liked you for so many years. You know that. You can't dislike me just because you have a conflict with Auntie, can you?" After speaking, Yang Minjing clenched her hands tightly, even her toes curled up forcefully. It didn't matter what He Mingrun thought; if Meng Yuan had any thoughts, she would have succeeded.
He Mingrun coldly glanced at her and said mockingly, "I met you a few times when I was a child, and you claim we grew up together? I don't even remember your name. Is this your so-called childhood sweetheart?"
"Also, you yourself know that I dislike you. Don't you have any self-awareness? And you're shamelessly sticking in front of me."
"He Mingrun, you..." Yang Minjing had never been treated like this before. She was instantly reduced to tears by anger.
Wu Yuan saw this and was also furious, "You guys, grab the young master and take him back."
