Chapter 10 - Third meeting

For more than a day that woman had been on his mind. When she had found out that she had been poisoned she had not come looking for him. She had gone to his grandfather instead. Did she think he would do nothing and just send her away? Though he had no love for her, that was also his child. He would never let anyone get away with this. He had been too neglectful. As hard as it was to admit, he had misjudged her. Considering how wilful she always acted, he was certain the rumours were true. He had never thought of other possibilities. After all, she had been an annoying bug at his side that never left him alone. Getting as far away from her as possible, he had never been concerned about her matters. Never cared and therefore never check if there were anything wrong.

Well, even though a lot happened because of this misunderstanding she had finally relented and given him a divorce. Something he never thought would happen. It was just impossible between the two of them, he could never see a future with her. Just the thought of her annoying voice calling him hubby made him cringe. When this matter was settled he would finalise the divorce. Then there would be no connection between them. No excuse for her to use to come and find him after the divorce.

However, first, he would make the culprit behind the miscarriage pay. He took out his phone and called his secretary.

"Hello, boss."

"Ke Ming, it's already been two days. Have you not found the culprit yet?"

"Boss, it was nanny Ye. But she disappeared not long ago. She was paid a huge amount of cash, with which she was able to use to pay off her husband's debt. There were no online transfers, so it took more time than expected. Both she and her husband have left home without telling anyone. By the looks of it, they won't be coming back."

"I don't care what methods you use, but you better find them soon or there would be overtime work and no year-end bonus for you."

Without even listening to the Ke Ming's retorts he cut off the connection.

He would have to tell his grandfather some news about the matter before he became even more restless. Should he tell that woman? No need. As long as his grandfather knew he would tell her. Considering this he headed towards the Li mansion.

**********

Yu Yan had promised old master Li to come back soon since she had left so hurriedly last time. She had already talked things over with him and even agreed to stay over. Li Yi Feng did not have the habit of visiting often, so if she went again only a few days after last time she would most likely not see him there. Besides if she wanted to keep contact with old master Li, she had to learn to face him. Why did she have to be scared? Since she would not be bothering him anymore, he would not have any reasons to deal with her. thinking like this she regained her confidence and headed straight to the Li mansion.

Since she already had a room at Li mansion, which she stayed at before she married Li Yi Feng, she did not need to bring anything. Old master Li had always kept things for her even after marriage so she could come by often. Thinking about him, she was grateful. He had always been kind to her. Taken her in and looked after her. Grandfather Li was the only person she could call family. When she made her way in she was met with the happy old man, who was waiting for her.

"Grandpa, why are you waiting here? I can come in by myself!"

"How could I? It's been so long since last time Yan-er stayed over. Come on in, don't wait outside. Well, aunt Zhou has just made your favourites. Why don't we sit down and eat?"

Both of them happily chatted while heading towards the dining table, sitting down they happily ate together. They were happily chatting while eating, unlike when Li Yi Feng was there, this time the two of them looked like a happy family having dinner together.

Just as one thought, that the two of them could have a happy evening, the atmosphere was broken by an unwelcome guest. Li Yi Feng came in and sat down to his grandfathers left and the opposite of Yu Yan. He did not expect the woman to be here. Aunt Zhou quickly served him soup and rice and he started to eat with them. He was quite surprised to see his grandfather happily chatting with the woman while eating. She too was acting different from last time, she was smiling and answering all his questions. Not the kind of nausea causing smile she would give him but a genuine smile.

He also noticed how she tensed up when she realised he was there. The mood suddenly changed, she would answer if his grandfather asked questions, but she kept them as short as possible. No longer joking. Well, it was not any of his problems.

She had shitty luck. She had only visited the Li mansion trice after the divorce, but every time she had the bad luck of meeting this man here. Concentrating on eating her food and answering old master Li, she pretended like he was not there. After the meal, all three of them sat down in the living room. Li Yi Feng had come here with urgent news.

"Any progress?" Old master Li asked. Li Yi Feng noticed the woman who had tried hard to ignore him all this while concentrating on what he would say when she realised that it was about the baby. It seemed like she very much cared about this matter. After all, she was the mother.

"It was nanny Ye, she had been hired to look after miss Yu after she got pregnant. She ran away with her husband not long ago. We're still pursuing them."

"How could you hire someone like that? Did you not make a throughout background check?"

"She was the one miss Yu wanted and insisted on bringing in."

With this, both looked towards Yu Yan.

"I didn't know. My best friend Yun Feng introduced her to me. She said she was reliable and that she knew the family well. Nanny Ye's family had been working for their family for three generations. Her mother had been my friend's wet nurse and nanny."

"Yun Feng... the woman who apologised on your behalf and made it look like you were guilty on TV?"

Old master Li asked.

"...Yes."

Li Yi Feng's eyes sharpened. He would check that woman.

"Yan-er there is something fishy about that girl, you should stay away from her." Old master Li advised Yu Yan.
