Hearing her mother’s reply, Rong Yue’s body trembled slightly as she sat down on one of the chairs.

“Since when did Qin Yichen know?”

One of the things she had also picked from the conversation was that Qin Yichen knew that her mother was faking it.

“He discovered the last time when you both came back from overseas.”

“I’m sure he didn’t want to hide it from you because he warned me that if I didn’t tell you in a few months, he was going to tell you.”

Rong Yue leaned back in the seat but her aura had dropped greatly. “And you were going to find something on him?”

For her, there was no one as important as her mother. But in this moment, she found herself struggling to accept the reality that was in front of her.

Even if she had hidden it from her as a child, now that she was this old, she still kept on hiding it.

And even when she was threatened by someone, she still chose the option of hiding things from her.

It really made her heart ache.

Without asking anything more, Rong Yue stood up, grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and went inside her room.

In moments like this, talking was not a good solution. At the same time, she was worried that if she said something, she would damage the relationship that she had with her mother.

What was supposed to be a surprise and happy reunion was ruined by the secret that her mother had kept for years.

At the same time, Rong Yue combed her memories. In her last life, her mother’s memory kept regressing up until she was like a child that hadn’t started education.

She was unable to stay alone at home and Rong Yue had kept her in an hospital that had one of the best care available.

After staying in the hospital for more than a year, her mother passed away and Rong Yue rushed back leaving a fashion show to mourn her mother’s death.

At that time, her income wasn’t little but she also felt completely alone in the world. She had thus become even more dependent on Tong Yang and Li Fan.

Now that she knew her mother was pretending all along, she felt there was too many missing pieces.

Did her mother really die? If she did die, why did she have to pretend up until she died?

Also, who was this enemy?

The more she thought about, the more she was unable to understand. What even made it worse was that, she couldn’t even search up anything on her mother.

Even with her hacking skills from the future, even she was unable to find anything.

“Little Loli, perform a thorough search on Miss Rong Xia and let me see everything you have,” as she gave the command, she also confirmed that the system the right picture.

After handing matters to the system, she pulled out her phone and sent a message to Qin Yichen.

[How Did You Know?]

It was just four words but she was certain that when he saw the message, he was going to understand what she was saying.

Back in the Capital,

Since Rong Yue wasn’t in the capital, Qin Yichen agreed to one of the evening business meetings.

“President Qin,” everyone stood up and greeted him respectfully the moment he entered.

Despite all of them in the room being old enough to be his father, neither of them held back with respect and praising him.

“President Qin, we didn’t think that you would accept our invitation,” one of the men said as he raised his glass as a show of acknowledgement.

Not just him, everyone nodded in agreement.

In the last three months, people that had seen Qin Yichen were few and some even felt that he was trying to take a break from working too hard.

Some also felt that some matter had come up.

No one had a clear answer but one thing was clear, the big boss was not available.

But even though they knew, out of respect, they would still send out invitations every time.

Now that he was here, a lot of them were surprised.

“Hmmm, I had some free time today.”

If it was any other person, with all the big figures of the capital gathered in one place, pushing things aside might not be that easy. But it was Qin Yichen.

The Heir of the Qin Family! Neither one of them dared to be dissatisfied.

“It’s good that you had some time today,”

The air in the room regained its causal atmosphere.

It was not a serious business meeting. It was the kind of thing where one person hosted people in their circle.

People on the scene would have the chance to discuss with each other and many people would make deals outside the offices here also.

It could be said that gatherings like this determined how things were in the capital. If a nouveau-rich family was able to be in this meeting, their stand and economic power would greatly increase. After all, it showed that they had been accepted by the real big shots!

Today, one of such person was the Feng Family’s second master.

From the start, the Feng family was a third-rate family in the country. But they had been lucky and had some dealings with the Qin Family side branch.

Because of this, their status had increased greatly.

Among the third rate families, they were the strongest and with a few more push, they were going to be a second rate family.

As his brother was the real head of the family, he didn’t have the right to be in a gathering like this, him being here made a lot of people feel that the Feng family was going to have a lot of changes in recent times.

“Perhaps, this second master would soon become the real head of the Feng Family,” someone murmured.
