Changrui Mu didn’t know where he had misspoken, so he stood up from his chair and said with caution, “Mr. Ye, are you…”
Kerry Ye snorted and looked at him with disdain, “Changrui, do you think that because I have a personal grudge against Tianye Mu that I will help you take over the company? You underestimate me. Changrui, I, Kerry, hate people so much like you who are ungrateful and greedy. If you want Mu family’s property, then go get it by yourself. I won’t help you. Get lost, I don’t want to see you anymore.”
After being stunned for a few seconds, a treacherous smile appeared on his face, “Kerry, don’t regret. Though you rejected me, there are still a lot of people who want to work with me. I don’t believe that no one will be interest in such profits.”
“Then have a try.”
“Fine, we’ll see.” Changrui turned around in a huff and walked away.
Staring at the closed door, Kerry thought to himself that if Venus was in a better mood, he could give Mu family’s company to her, but now, how could she care about the money when she could even give up her child?
Just let Changrui go. Anyway, he could get the company back whenever he wanted.
Ye family’s villa
Dr. Yan’s consultation didn’t go well, for Venus held a very negative attitude towards any question she asked. Venus might be the most tough patient that Dr. Yan had encountered, for she refused to recover from her bottom of her heart. She wanted death instead of nothing else.
The patients she had met were all longing for rebirth, but Venus was different.
No matter how good Dr. Yan’s medical skills were, she couldn’t heal a person whose heart was dead.
“Doctor Yan, how is our young lady?” John asked with worry.
Dr. Yan looked up at the balcony on the second floor and said regretfully, “John, tell Mr. Ye that there’s nothing I can do. Let him find another person.”
“This, Dr. Yan…” John didn’t expect Venus’s condition to be so serious, “Dr. Yan, what else can you do? “
She shook her head, “I’m sorry, maybe I’m not good enough. I tried my best. I’m sorry, goodbye.”
John sent her off, sighing inwardly. What else could he do?
In the evening, Kerry kept silent for a quite long time after hearing John’ s words when he returned home.
Did he have to let her go? At least she and the baby would keep living.
Late at night, the new maid was sleeping soundly on the sofa, but Venus couldn’t fall asleep with her eyes open.
She couldn’t remember how many nights she hadn’t fallen asleep. She wanted to be like the maid, falling asleep as soon as she touched her pillow, without thinking anything, but she couldn’t. As soon as she closed her eyes, she would recall the images of her parents’ death and her brother falling off a cliff, and even Xinyou Qiao, and the unbearable past. These things were like movies, flashing through her mind…
She tried to ward them off, but she couldn’t, so she kept her eyes open. Didn’t pregnant women need a lot of sleep? why was it so hard for her to fall asleep?
If she could, she’d love to take a sleeping pill.
Outside, the wind whistled.
When Venus rolled over and was about to close her eyes to sleep, a shadow suddenly appeared on the balcony.
She was too shocked to see this, maybe it was because of Xiaozi. One more thing, she subconsciously felt that this person may be Kerry. Because he enjoyed flashing when he was pretending to be Xiaozi.
The man in black carefully observed the surroundings and walked into the room.
No, this wasn’t Kerry, for he wouldn’t be so careful if he came in.
Not knowing what he was up to, Venus squinted her eyes and pretended to sleep.
The man walked to the maid and plugged a handkerchief on her nose, and soon, the maid was snoring even louder. Then, from her squinting eyes,Venus saw the man in black walking towards her step by step.
“Who are you? What do you want?” Venus opened her eyes and looked at him.
The man was clearly shocked by her calmness, and after a few seconds, he asked her in a husky voice, “Aren’t you afraid?” An ordinary person would have already yelled and screamed, and he was ready to cover her mouth and negotiate with her.
“Go away, I need to think about it.” Venus said indifferently.
The man in black frowned, “Miss Mu, what else do you need to think about?”
“Consider whether you’re telling the truth or not. Go away, I’m not going to go with you tonight.”
“You…” He was going to say something else, but there were some dogs barking in the distance, so he couldn’t stay longer. Seeing that Venus was determined, he had to say, “Okay, I’ll come back. I hope you’ll change your mind by then.”
“Wait, what have you done to her?” Venus was talking about the maid. She was willing to die, but that didn’t mean she wanted to see innocent people die.
The man in black didn’t stop, “She will sleep a little longer and she will ake up in the morning.” Then the man disappeared from the balcony.
In the distance, the barking became more intense, mixed with the sound of hurried footsteps.
Venus lay down, thinking about his words, which were mixed with lies. But there was still something she could believe—who else wanted to take her away except her brother?
When the bedroom door was pushed open, Venus heard familiar footsteps and quickly closed her eyes.
Kerry, wearing a dark blue robe, strode in. Seeing that Venus was sleeping peacefully on the bed, he relived.
She’s still there, she’s still there.
The bodyguards reported that someone had broken into the villa. His first reaction was to see if Venus was alright, and now seeing she was still here, he stopped worrying.
Walking forward, Kerry gently touched her face, warm.
Leaning down to kiss her forehead, Kerry then left the room.
As soon as the door closed, Venus opened her eyes, full of disgust. She wiped her forehead, as if to remove all traces of him.
