Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 418 - 392: Off-the-Charts Low EQ

"This place of mine, hardly anyone knows about it. How did you find me here?" Yu Mingyi didn’t want to waste words with Mrs. Wang now.

The only thing he wanted to know was this.

To find out the mastermind and avenge Dong Yi.

Dong Yi’s frightened eyes were deeply etched into Yu Mingyi’s heart. Thinking of this, his attitude towards Mrs. Wang became even colder.

"I found it on my own, no one else, really, Mingyi, the bond of marriage—"

"I don’t want to hear anything unrelated to this matter right now. Speak, mastermind!" Yu Mingyi’s composure was shattered by Dong Yi’s panicked gaze; his anger was almost on par with Yu Minglang’s.

Mrs. Wang was just an ordinary village woman, never having encountered such an imposing presence, she was scared speechless by Yu Mingyi.

Seeing her still cowering, Yu Mingyi dropped a harsh threat.

"Out of consideration for your eldest son’s friendship with me, I’ve been reluctant to act too harshly. Name the mastermind and I won’t go all out."

"There’s no mastermind..." Mrs. Wang thought of that person’s injunction but still resisted speaking.

But upon entering, the conspiracies she had pondered were all frozen in the icy gaze of Yu Mingyi; she even found herself unable to move.

Yu Mingyi released his aura, and the eerie feeling frightened Mrs. Wang. Having never read much, she couldn’t articulate her feelings accurately, but she inexplicably recalled the village elders saying that before people die, they see the Black and White Impermanence coming to gather souls; perhaps the Black and White Impermanence were this terrifying...

The most frightening ghosts and deities in Mrs. Wang’s mind overlapped with the current Yu Mingyi, evidently causing doubt.

Yu Mingyi slammed the table, his voice colder by several degrees, "Speak!"

Mrs. Wang trembled, nearly falling off her chair in fright, no longer daring to defy him.

"I don’t even know who she is, only that she’s a woman, sounds somewhat older, not like a young girl."

"Did she find you the photographer?"

"Yes..." Mrs. Wang was so scared, she answered whatever Yu Mingyi asked.

"How did she give you money?"

"What money... she hasn’t paid yet..."

"I know the nature of your family. They won’t act without visible benefit and wouldn’t act without tangible rewards."

"Used a remittance method, the remittance slip is here..." Mrs. Wang, in fear, disregarded the warning from the other side and took out the remittance slip.

Yu Mingyi glanced at the name on it, unfamiliar, but traceable.

Doing such things, it’s impossible to use the real name. However, having this clue, it’s not a difficult thing to investigate further.

Mrs. Wang felt anxious and uneasy. She had promised that man not to tell Yu Mingyi anything, regardless of circumstances, because the man said he’d give her another 20,000 yuan upon success, which wasn’t a small sum.

But now, money was no longer the issue. She was worried about whether she could leave here intact, for Yu Mingyi seemed terrifyingly ruthless...

Having obtained the clue, Yu Mingyi didn’t want to waste another moment on the Wang Family, not a second more.

All those years before realizing what he had done, Yu Mingyi suddenly woke up.

Seeing Dong Yi surrounded by people, watching her cry so helplessly, her eyes filled with suppressed grievances, Yu Mingyi understood it all.

The vague veil wasn’t so difficult to pierce after all, and upon doing so, he found those suffocating matters were trivial.

He now wanted to return, to confront the one he truly shouldn’t let down. As for these insignificant things—

Yu Mingyi looked coldly at Mrs. Wang, "Do not try to provoke me again, challenge my patience. For Wang Dazhi’s sake, I’ll give mercy one last time; after today, don’t let anyone from your family appear before me, or else..."

Mrs. Wang nodded vigorously, "I understand, I won’t come again..."

Yu Mingyi left without looking back. Mrs. Wang sat alone in the meeting room, watching his decisive back, cold sweat trickling down her spine.

It really frightened her...

Yu Mingyi is truly an extraordinarily terrifying figure. How did she foolishly believe he was a man easy to control, and fantasize about him remarrying her daughter, becoming her family’s cash cow...

Money is precious, but life is worth more. Mrs. Wang’s knowledge wasn’t capable of expressing her current feelings in such complex terms, but she keenly sensed that her family shouldn’t appear again; otherwise, Yu Mingyi would indeed dispose of her mercilessly.

Perhaps, there was never any affection from the start.

On his way back, Yu Mingyi had already reflected on his actions.

What is marriage, what is love, what he ought to face in the future, and what his former inner demons were, all were reconsidered thoroughly.

People only gain clarity through certain experiences; in truth, the principles are simple.

Now, one shouldn’t dwell on grand truths, only follow instincts.

His current desire was to see Dong Yi, to embrace her warmly, to wipe away her tears, and not let her eyes show fear.

When Yu Mingyi returned, Dong Yi had just finished showering, her hair still damp, she wore his clothes.

Yu Mingyi never imagined his clothes would look so good on her.

Sensing his gaze, Dong Yi uneasily hugged herself, instinctively stepping back. This was arranged by Mrs. Yu as her clothes were dirty, her belongings moved away, and she had no clothes left here, so she had to wear Yu Mingyi’s.

His stature was too tall, and the clothes were somewhat too big for Dong Yi; even the pants were cuffed several times.

The shirt’s hem hung down, and the sleeves were rolled up. It wasn’t particularly flattering, but in his eyes, it was the most charming sight; Yu Mingyi was stunned.

Seeing him return, Qian said to Mrs. Yu,

"Aunt, let’s take Panpan shopping, and buy clothes for Dong Yi."

"But—" Mrs. Yu looked worriedly at her son, unsure of the situation between him and Dong Yi.

"Come on, let’s go~"

Qian practically dragged Mrs. Yu out, letting Mr. Yu and Dong Yi sort things themselves. If Mrs. Yu got involved, things might veer off course.

When Qian beckoned and pulled Mrs. Yu out with the child, Yu Mingyi suddenly called out to Qian.

"Qian."

"Hmm?"

"Use this when buying clothes." He took a card out of his pocket and wrote the password on the back.

Qian unceremoniously accepted it, understanding Mr. Yu’s intent.

A man wants to be responsible, starting by spending money on a woman. It’s for buying clothes for Dong Yi, with Mr. Yu paying, she understood roughly what Mr. Yu intended, but seeing his expression, he seemed unaware that his subconscious had already betrayed his rationality.

This emotional intelligence was simply explosively low.
