Chapter 923: The Return of Miss He

“Madame Ye, Madame Ye…” Xiao Chen cried out. He was so overcome with excitement and surprise that his face was flushed red.

Xia Jingshu was playing with her grandson in the living room and a look of displeasure flashed past her face when she saw Xiao Chen rush into the house recklessly.

“What’s wrong, Xiao Chen? Why are you shouting so loudly?” she asked.

Xiao Chen sounded a little out of breath as he pointed at the door and said agitatedly, “The missus… No, Miss He, Miss He has returned.”

Xia Jingshu frowned and asked, “Who is Miss He? What are you talking about?”

She couldn’t understand what the security was trying to tell her.

However, a thought quickly occurred to her and she stared at Xiao Chen doubtfully before she pushed her wheelchair toward the door and looked in the direction of the iron gates.

She saw someone standing in front of the iron gates and although she couldn’t see the visitor’s face from her vantage point, she knew that the visitor was a woman.

Could she be He Xiyan?

Xia Jingshu’s eyes suddenly widened in shock.

Xiao Chen walked over and said, “Yes, Madame. She’s He Xiyan and she claims that she’s here to visit Xi Xi.”

There was a loud clatter as the teacup fell from Xia Jingshu’s hand and her unfinished tea splattered all over the floor. She stared straight at the iron gate and her hands balled tightly into fists.

Han Xue froze in shock as she stood a dozen meters away and her face turned completely pale. Her hands balled into fists and a layer of cold sweat had formed on her palms. She was both anxious and fearful and she stood rooted to the spot, as though she couldn’t move.

The maids employed at the Ye castle all walked out to take a look when they heard that the ex-Mrs. Ye had returned. They chattered in hushed whispers but only Qin Xiaoyu ran excitedly toward the iron gates and opened the door.

“Miss He…” Qin Xiaoyu cried out in excitement and the shock on her face was replaced by excitement and happiness.

She ran over and grabbed He Xiyan in a hug.

“This is great, Miss He! You’re still alive!” Qin Xiaoyu said emotionally as tears rolled down her cheeks.

He Xiyan’s lips curved upward and she allowed Qin Xiaoyu to hug her as she gently patted her shoulder. She remembered that Qin Xiaoyu had only been a young woman of twenty when they had first met, so she was probably 25 years old now. Time had truly flown by.

She was 30 years old in a blink of an eye.

“Miss He, why have you come?” Qin Xiaoyu asked in excitement after she released He Xiyan from her hug. Her happiness was written all over her face.

He Xiyan responded with a smile.

There were some things that just could not be expressed in words.

“Xiaoyu, has Xi Xi come home from school?” she asked. She suddenly felt tears p.r.i.c.k at her eyes and soon, her eyes brimmed with unshed tears.

She felt her heart clench in pain at the mere mention of her daughter’s name.

“Xi Xi is upstairs. Come inside and I’ll go upstairs to get Xi Xi,” Qin Xiaoyu said with a smile and tried to lead He Xiyan into the Ye castle.

He Xiyan waved her off.

She neither could nor wanted to step foot into the Ye castle because the current mistress of the castle was Han Xue. She had read the news and knew that her ex-husband Ye Hao had collected his marriage license with his ex-girlfriend Han Xue several months ago. She also read that Han Xue had borne Ye Hao a son more than two years ago. According to the news, his son was born 2 years ago toward the end of the year. If she counted backward, this meant that Ye Hao had gotten together with Han Xue shortly after they were divorced and their son was now more than 2 years old.
