There was silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a gentle sigh. "Forget about it. The Ye family will not allow outsiders to learn about what happened in the past, even if she's your wife. It'll only do her more harm than good to know about my existence, so remember to keep this a secret from her. Besides, don't let Tingting visit your place anymore, to prevent unnecessary troubles."
Meng Shiyao's voice was laced with evident expectancy but she was left with no alternative than to diminish her hopes.
She was fully aware that the Ye family did not want anyone to learn about that particular incident. Otherwise, they would not have announced her death to the public with a fake funeral.
Meng Shiyao had not returned to Jin City for over twenty years since her initial departure. She wished to return but she could not bring herself to do it. She understood too well the influence of the Ye family as well as the way Elder Ye worked.
