The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

“Miss, where are you going to ask?”

Of course, it’s Dongfang Mansion—

She was going to ask Dongfang Yu’s parents. In this matter, only they would know the most.

Aside from them, she would not believe anyone else’s word.

Hai Xiaotang truly hoped that the content above was just a rumor.

But… why did she have a gut feeling that it was true…

Yet why would that be the case?

Dongfang Yu, what else are you hiding from me?

********************

Hai Xiaotang quickly arrived at Dongfang Mansion in Shallow Bay by car.

The car stopped in front of the main gate. She got out of the car and went to ring the doorbell.

The doorman recognized her and quickly came to open the door.

“Young mistress, why are you here?”

“Are the lady and master home?” Hai Xiaotang replied with a question of her own.

“The lady is at home…”

Before he could finish, Hai Xiaotang had already rushed inside. Normally, she would be driving in, which would be faster.

But she forgot, remembering only to run with her own legs…

She ran a long distance, arriving soaked in sweat.

When she entered the living room, the servants were shocked by her urgency, “Young mistress, what’s happened?”

“Where’s the lady?” Hai Xiaotang asked directly.

A servant was taken aback and pointed to the garden, “The lady is in the garden.”

Hai Xiaotang rushed to the garden and saw He Meilian with a straw hat, pruning flowers in the flowerbed.

In the summer, the roses were in full bloom, but Hai Xiaotang had no time to appreciate them.

She slowly approached He Meilian, newspaper in hand, suddenly unsure how to ask her.

Feeling someone approach, He Meilian looked up and saw her.

Surprised, she questioned, “Xiaotang, what brings you here?”

Hai Xiaotang composed herself and put forward the newspaper in her hand: “Madam, I saw the news in this paper today, have you seen it too?”

With a startled look, He Meilian calmly responded: “Yes, I’ve seen it.”

“Is it true?!” Hai Xiaotang implored, “It says…that Dongfang Yu has been in prison for the past six months, is that true?!”

He Meilian was neither surprised nor troubled.

She stood up calmly, and admitted: “It’s true.”

With wide eyes of disbelief, Hai Xiaotang demanded, “Why?”

“Why on earth would Dongfang Yu end up in prison? Why is this happening?”

He Meilian calmly sighed, and without answering, she turned and walked away.

Hai Xiaotang was taken aback, and hurriedly followed behind her. “Madam, can you please tell me why this happened?”

“Why don’t you ask him yourself, instead of coming to me?” He Meilian glanced back at her.

Hai Xiaotang was at a loss for words, not knowing how to respond.

Because she had this inexplicable feeling that she couldn’t ask him. She was too anxious… so she had to seek the truth from them.

He Meilian walked to the edge of the fishpond, removed her gloves and washed her hands, then said to her, “Come to the living room with me, it’s too hot outside.”

And then Hai Xiaotang followed her to the living room.

The servant brought them two cups of cold tea. He Meilian took a sip, put down the tea cup, and began: “Actually, I think this is something that Yuyu should tell you himself. However, I’m certain he won’t, so I’ll tell you instead.”

Hai Xiaotang immediately became anxious.

Her intuition told her that Dongfang Yu’s imprisonment might be connected to her…

But, why?

Hai Xiaotang’s eyes flickered, as if she was beginning to understand something.
