Chapter 150: Xu Sen’s ghost (2/2)

I followed Xu Sen’s finger and opened the drawer. Inside, there was a box that was exquisitely designed. I opened the box and saw a folded piece of paper. I unfolded it; it was the letter that Wei had written to Xu Sen before she passed away.

Oh Sen… I feel like I’m still rather young, but the disease has already attacked my vitals. This must be God’s punishment to me. God must be punishing me for being selfish. I harmed you and Youfan. As your wife, I want to make a final request. I’ve always lived cautiously throughout my lifetime. I didn’t compensate Youfan enough. So please help me compensate her as much as you can. I know Youfan is not a materialistic type of person. But aside from money, I don’t know what else I could give her…. I’m going to leave this world before you. Please forgive me for being selfish until the very end.

Love you, Wei.

Through the letter, I could feel Wei’s pain. She loved Xu Sen, Yao Youfan, and her son. But without intending to do so, she had harmed them all.

With this letter, Xu Chuqiao wouldn’t know everything but at least he would know the will was real. Perhaps he will understand why his dad gave Yao Youfan his entire estate?

No! Currently, Xu Chuqiao is suspicious of my identity. If I give him this letter, he would probably think I teamed up with Yao Youfan to create fake evidence to fool him.

While I was stressing, suddenly I heard the lock on the door turning.

What’s going on? Aside from me, someone else knows about this place?

Before I could find a spot to hide, I could hear a strong voice echoing from the living room. “I know you’re here. Come out and let’s have a chat.”

It's Yao Youfan? Why is she here? I stared at Xu Sen. He looked stunned too. He probably had no idea either. But since I was already caught, I had no choice but to reveal myself. I gripped onto Wei’s letter and stepped outside the bedroom. I calmly went to Yao Youfan. “How did chairman know I was here?”

Yao Youfan exclaimed, “It was you! Last night, I could already sense something odd about you. My intuition told me I had to come here to check this place to see if something was going on. I was correct….”

She was truly a business woman. I had underestimated Yao Youfan.

“Chairman, your intuition is very good…Suyang was the one who told you right? He told you I was here and my reason for working at the company.”

“If you’re going to be so direct, I’ll be straight up as well. Don’t assume you can meddle in our family affairs. If you touch my bottom line, you’ll be in danger.”

“So what’s your bottom line?”

“Don’t touch Xu Chuqiao.”

“I didn’t touch him!”

“The secret between the three of us shall remain a secret.”

“Chairman, I urge you to be honest with your son. At this rate, nothing good can come out of this. It’s pointless of you to be so stubborn.”

“You want me to tell him he’s my son? How can I say that to him? How would you react if you found out the mother you’ve loved for thirty plus years was actually not your mother? In fact, your mother was actually the woman you loathed?? The only thing I can do is to tacitly admit that Xu Chuqiao is Na Wei’s son; Xu family’s legitimate son. As for me, I’m only a shameless third party. That’s it.”

Suddenly, Yao Youfan’s eyes landed on the paper in my hand. “What do you have in your hand?”

“This?” I raised the letter. “This is Na Wei’s letter. It is evidence that proves Xu Sen’s will is real. I am quite sure you have seen it before. Earlier, I was debating whether I should give it to Xu Chuqiao. If I give it to him, he probably won’t be against you anymore. By doing so, I’m helping you.”

“What did you say?”

“I said, by giving this letter to Xu Chuqiao, I’m helping you.”

Yao Youfan didn’t seem to have much of a reaction.

“Not only will I give him the letter, I’ll also tell him the truth.” I raised my voice as I gazed at Yao Youfan with no fear in my eyes.

“You!” She was so mad that she couldn’t say anything.

That’s right! This was the reaction I wanted.

I put the letter inside my pocket and lifted my chin arrogantly. “Suyang was on your side from the very beginning. He knew that Xu Chuqiao had sent me to investigate you, so you used Suyang to control me. What did he tell you? Did he tell you to follow his method and you’ll get the result you wanted?”

I didn’t expect to be used by the the person who meant the most to me.

All those sweet words, smile, and warmth…. It was conclusive proof that I was an idiot. Three years later, that person still had my heart. If he was in front of me now, I would rip it out in front of him.

“What do you mean?” Yao Youfan’s eyes flickered. She was evidently feeling a bit uneasy.
