Ye s.h.i.+wei"s heart sank, and then she gritted her teeth and argued, "You said you would give me the money to pay for my mother"s medical bills as long as I finish the thing tonight for Haina!"

"I was just saying. Do you have any proof? Is there any contract or written pledge? How dare you come to ask for money while you have nothing? How did your father give birth to such a stupid daughter as you?"

Ye s.h.i.+wei had never thought that Li Dakai would be so despicable that he would go back on his word?!

She clenched her fist, with full of suppressed anger in her eyes.

"Uncle Li, you"d better give me the money, or you know what will happen if I disclose what happened tonight and let Mu Tingchen know that you all plotted to cheat him."

Mu Tingchen was known for his heartlessness in the industry and intolerance for any negative things. If he knew what had happened, there would be great bad consequences waiting for Li Dakai"s family.

But no sooner had Ye finished her words than Li Dakai laughed out.

"You … Aren"t you afraid of this?!"

"Hmm, why should I be afraid? After all…" Li Dakai suddenly squinted his eyes and said meaningfully, "It"s not my daughter who slept with his uncle."

Uncle …?

Ye s.h.i.+wei gave a cold snort, not expecting that Li Dakai should dare to say all kinds of nonsense in order not to give the money.

"Do you think I"m really so stupid that I"ll believe such a bad lie?"

"If you don"t believe me," Li Dakai slowly straightened up his body, "go asking your mother yourself."

"You!"

"I won"t believe it if you"ve never suspected your own background all these years. Have you ever asked your grandparents? What"s more, I am not that idle to spread rumors about your relations.h.i.+p with Family Mu for no reason."

Ye s.h.i.+wei"s face turned livid and she didn"t know what to say while clenching her fists.

Her background …

She did ask her mother countless times, but her mother either evaded it, or prevaricated and said she would tell her later.

There was really no need for Li Dakai to talk nonsense about this kind of thing.

When she thought of this, Ye s.h.i.+wei pulled her heart more tightly.

"So …" Li Dakai said faintly. "If this thing gets disclosed, and your mother knows that her brother-in-law has slept with her daughter, what will happen to her?"

"Mrs. Ye"s body is getting weaker and weaker …"

Ye s.h.i.+wei gritted her teeth with hatred. No matter whether Li Dakai"s words were true or false, she had been greatly unsettled.

The situation was very bad for her at the moment.

"You guys are just so disgusting! I won"t let it go that you guys have fooled me like this."

With no other choice, Ye s.h.i.+wei left with full of grievances.

Did people all over the world want to be her enemy?

The rain had stopped when she left Li"s house. The early morning lights s.h.i.+ned gently on her body, striking her as so warm, but it could not stop her from feeling lonely.

Li Dakai"s words came back to her mind over and over again.

How ridiculous it was that Mu Tingchen was her uncle! There had obviously been no relation between them, but how could it be …

The more she thought about this ridiculous thing, the colder she felt. Even the sun could not warm up her heart.

Kangren Private Hospital was the largest private hospital of the city, owning the most advanced technology in the United States. But it served only stars and wealthy businessmen. There was simply no way for ordinary people to set foot in it at all.

Ye s.h.i.+wei came here because she was suddenly informed that her mother had been transferred to this hospital.

How was this possible? Even if Li Dakai"s conscience had got the better of him, he couldn"t afford to enter the hospital himself according to his wealth.

Ye s.h.i.+wei was full of doubts, but she really saw her mother there under the leading of one nurse.

Around there were white wood fences and green gra.s.s. Her mother was basking in the sun, accompanied by several nurses.

"Mom!"

Ye s.h.i.+wei walked over and crouched next to her wheelchair.

"Why did you suddenly transfer to this hospital without telling me in advance?"

"It"s …"

The moment Ye"s mother was about to explain, she was interrupted by a low male voice not far away.

"It"s my order."

Hearing the voice, Ye s.h.i.+wei"s heart thumped.

This man"s voice was so familiar! Ye thought she had heard of it somewhere.

Puzzled, she turned over, only to meet a pair of dark eyes.

Ye s.h.i.+wei subconsciously took half a step back and took a deep breath before she looked over again. The man was dressed in a black wind-breaker with a standing collar. An aura of n.o.bleness circled around him even if he was expressionless.

She was stunned, and it was her mother"s voice that dragged her back.

"This is your uncle, Mu Tingchen. Weiwei, call uncle."

Un … uncle?
