Chapter 118 Favor
The sudden noise startled Wang Mengyun, who was caught off guard. Startled, she reflexively turned her head towards the direction from which the sound came. Upon closer inspection, she saw Lin Yue standing silently by the window, staring at her with a mocking expression, her gaze sharp and penetrating.
"Lin Yue? How did you get into my office?" Wang Mengyun was caught off guard by this sudden situation and blurted out the question in a panic.
However, before she could finish speaking, Lin Yue flashed forward like a ghost and instantly rushed in front of her, grabbing her slender neck with lightning speed.
"It's just a mere thirty-odd stories high, nothing difficult for me. But you, do you feel good when you're spreading rumors everywhere?" Lin Yue's grip tightened, making it almost impossible for Wang Mengyun to breathe.
Wang Mengyun stared in astonishment at the open window, her mind reeling. Lin Yue had actually climbed in from the outside of the building with her bare hands? And it seemed she hadn't used a single tool? Even more unbelievable was that no one had noticed her actions.
This is simply unbelievable! Even someone as powerful as Ye Chen would probably find it difficult to climb such a towering building in such a short time without using any tools.
"I...I'm sorry! Ye Chen...he changed his fiancée...those rumors...will no longer affect you..." Wang Mengyun said in a trembling and labored voice, panting heavily. At this moment, she had to find a way to calm the agitated Lin Yue down, no matter what.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yue merely gave a cold snort and then released her grip on Wang Mengyun's collar. Wang Mengyun immediately felt as if she had been granted a pardon, gasping for breath and coughing several times.
"Because of the rumors you spread, everyone now mistakenly believes I am Ye Chen's fiancée, which almost led to me being kidnapped. It's all your fault!"
Lin Yue's beautiful yet icy eyes were fixed on Wang Mengyun. "We've met before. You know perfectly well that I despise Ye Chen, yet you deliberately spread such rumors. What are your intentions?"
"I...I really know I was wrong..." Wang Mengyun's body was still trembling slightly. She never expected Lin Yue to be so fierce and come directly to settle accounts.
She looked up at Lin Yue with teary eyes and said, "I'm sorry, I'll never do it again." No matter what, she couldn't argue in this situation; if she angered the other party and lost her life, it would be a huge loss.
Lin Yue stared coldly at the pitiful, terrified Wang Mengyun in front of her, her eyes as cold and piercing as ice stars. She snorted and said, "Hmph, do you think I don't know? You don't really know you're wrong. You're just afraid I'll kill you!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Mengyun trembled, her face instantly draining of color. She stared wide-eyed at Lin Yue in disbelief, never imagining that her thoughts could be so easily seen through.
Just then, a loud bang rang out, and the tightly closed door was suddenly pushed open. A figure rushed in like lightning. It was Ye Chen, his face filled with anxiety, shouting, "Stop! Lin Yue!"
However, before he could finish speaking, he saw Lin Yue kick Wang Mengyun hard to the ground. Wang Mengyun groaned and fell heavily to the ground, a trickle of blood immediately spilling from the corner of her mouth.
"Sister Mengyun!" Ye Chen's heart clenched at the sight, and he couldn't help but exclaim. He quickly ran to Wang Mengyun's side, squatted down, and helped her up, his eyes filled with heartache and concern. However, faced with this situation, he really didn't know how to bring himself to blame Lin Yue.
He only learned after talking to the Zhou family last night that Wang Mengyun had already spread the news. He had no idea. After thinking about it carefully, he realized why someone would try to kidnap Lin Yue. It turned out that they all thought an illegitimate daughter was easy to manipulate.
He didn't see Lin Yue when he went to school today. He asked Li Yuetian and Lin Yue's best friend Chi Xiaoyu, but the latter wouldn't tell him anything. Not only did the former refuse to tell him, he also punched him.
Ye Chen guessed that Lin Yue might have gone to cause trouble for Wang Mengyun, so he quickly asked for leave and drove to City A.
"Lin Yue, please, for my sake, let Sister Mengyun go! I know she was in the wrong this time, but please believe me, nothing like this will ever happen again. I'll do anything you ask, just please don't take her life!" As Ye Chen spoke, his knees buckled and he knelt on the ground. He then looked up at Lin Yue with pleading eyes.
Just then, Wang Mengyun's beautiful eyes were fixed on Ye Chen, her gaze filled with undisguised surprise and shock.
She never expected that Ye Chen, who always relentlessly pursued Lin Yue, would kneel down before Lin Yue without hesitation for her sake! In an instant, a warm yet complex emotion surged into Wang Mengyun's heart like a tide.
"It's all my fault..." Wang Mengyun lowered her head slightly, her voice as soft as willow catkins in the wind. At this moment, she finally realized that Ye Chen wasn't completely indifferent to her; she still held a place in his heart.
All along, I've been overthinking things, mistakenly believing that Ye Chen is only in love with Lin Yue. In reality, Lin Yue doesn't like Ye Chen; it's Ye Chen who has been relentlessly pursuing Lin Yue.
To be honest, Lin Yue never intended to do anything to Wang Mengyun, but who could have predicted that Ye Chen would suddenly rush in and kneel down to beg for mercy without saying a word?
This backfired, making it seem to others that he had deliberately made things difficult for Wang Mengyun, and he had completely transformed himself into a heinous villain!
Lin Yue snorted coldly, then turned around and quickly left the room. In the end, she realized she had been too kind-hearted.
Seeing that Lin Yue had left, Ye Chen quickly reached out to help Wang Mengyun, who was still somewhat shaken, and asked with concern, "Sister Mengyun, are you alright? Are you hurt? Should I take you to the hospital for a check-up now?"
Wang Mengyun gently shook her head and replied, "I'm really fine, Xiao Ye. Thank you for pleading with Lin Yue for me. If you hadn't appeared in time, I don't know what I would have done." As she spoke, she looked up and met Ye Chen's gaze. A subtle atmosphere seemed to be quietly spreading between them.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Sister Mengyun, why are you being so polite with me? But please don't do this kind of thing again. We were indeed wrong in this matter." At the same time, he silently noted it down in his heart, considering it a favor he owed Lin Yue.
