The car sped toward the destination.

"The Headmaster of Yu family is so despicable! Yu Xiuzhun is dead, and this child is now a descendant of the Ye Family. How dare he kidnap Mingmei to negotiate terms with us?!"

Qin Youxuan puffed up her cheeks, nestled in Dan Hanjie’s arms.

Just thinking about how Ye Mingmei, heavily pregnant, had been taken by those crazy Yu family members, filled her with indescribable worry.

"Drive faster!"

"Yes, young madam."

...

Yu Family Villa.

When Ye Mingmei was brought here, she was a bit dazed.

Looking at the familiar yet strange place, scenes of being with Yu Xiuzhun continuously flashed before her eyes.

Her eyes started to heat up involuntarily.

The little one inside her seemed to sense something, making a small movement, causing Ye Mingmei to halt in pain.

"Hurry up, stop dawdling. If you waste time, you’ll be the one to suffer." The man accompanying Ye Mingmei gave her a push and coldly reminded her.

"Was it you who sent me that letter? What exactly is your purpose? I want to see Yu Xiuzhun!" Ye Mingmei stumbled, stabilized herself, then turned to glare at the man.

She must have been blind to think that the man before her was polite and courteous, to selflessly give him directions but fall into someone else’s trap.

She now only hoped that the content of the letter was true.

After more than half a year, it was the first time she had received news about Yu Xiuzhun... Ye Mingmei lifted her head, looked at the villa in front of her, feelings tumultuous within her.

She clenched her hands into fists, struggling to control her emotions.

"I’m merely following the orders of the family head to bring you here. As for who you want to see, you’ll have to discuss it with the family head yourself." The man who brought Ye Mingmei here sneered, his gaze landing on her belly.

His eyes turned cold.

"If negotiations fall through, don’t even think about leaving here with the little bastard in your belly intact!"

"..."

Ye Mingmei felt a chill down her spine, instinctively protect her baby, slowing her steps, unwilling to go further inside.

Just as she was about to turn and run, pain struck her neck, causing her to collapse softly.

The man reached out to catch her, carried her horizontally, and entered the villa.

-

Ye Mingmei didn’t know how long she had been unconscious; when she awoke, she was bewildered.

Looking at the bedroom in front of her, her eyes became slightly moist.

This was... Yu Xiuzhun’s old room.

Though it had changed, she could still recognize it at a glance.

She wished that in this familiar place, she could also see familiar people...

The man’s previous words replayed in her mind, causing Ye Mingmei to nervously touch her belly, confirming the baby was unharmed, she sat up from the bed.

Her feet touched the floor, and a slight neck movement made her gasp in pain.

It seemed like she could hear the sound of arguing nearby.

Ye Mingmei’s eyes flashed slightly, and she stepped toward the balcony.

She was not unfamiliar with this layout; the bedroom’s balcony was in the direction of the living room’s floor-to-ceiling windows, where she could hear conversations from the living room. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Sis..."

Ye Mingmei paused slightly, hearing Qin Youxuan’s excited voice from the living room, for a moment she thought it was her imagination.

The next moment, Ye Mingmei immediately picked up a potted plant from the balcony and threw it heavily down from the second floor.

She shouted with all her might, "Sis, I’m here!"

Just as Ye Mingmei shouted the first time, someone opened the bedroom door from the outside.

Several bodyguards, seeing she was awake, quickly began to surround her.
