Seeing Lin Yumeng coming down from upstairs, Aunt Liu asked cautiously, "Madam, Mr. Fu hasn't come back yet. Is he working overtime?"

In the past, Fu Beichen would have been home by this time, but today he was nowhere to be seen.

Aunt Liu was afraid that Lin Yumeng would think too much, so she asked this question.

Linlin Yumeng walked slowly to the table, her eyes fixed on the sumptuous dinner, and she spoke slowly, "He has something to do and will be back later."

Before dinner, Fu Beichen called her and said that something happened to Xia Annie and he needed to go over and would be back later.

Lin Yumeng guessed that it must not be a simple matter, otherwise he would not have gone there in person. She just hoped that he and Xia Anni were safe.

Seeing that she understood what was going on, Aunt Liu didn't say anything more. Instead, she picked up a spoon and poured her a bowl of chicken soup.

"Madam, have a bowl of chicken soup first."

Lin Yumeng nodded slightly, then raised her hand and pointed at the first three dishes and said to Aunt Liu, "These are his favorites. Please warm them in the kitchen for him and eat them when he comes back."

Hearing this, Aunt Liu hurriedly advised: "Madam, you eat first. I'll make another portion when President Fu comes back. You are still pregnant, so you need a balanced diet."

Lin Yumeng waved her hand. "No need to bother. The remaining two dishes, one meat and one vegetable, plus soup, are more than enough nutrition."

Before Aunt Liu could finish what she was saying, Lin Yumeng said directly, "It would be a waste if I couldn't finish all the dishes. Just bring those three in."

Seeing that she said so, Aunt Liu stopped persuading her and walked towards the kitchen with two dishes.

Seeing this, Liu Yun immediately stepped forward to help and took the remaining bowl of food to the kitchen.

Fu Beichen was not around today, and Lin Yumeng did not eat as much as usual. Perhaps she had become accustomed to his company, and her eyes would always involuntarily look towards the door, as if expecting that familiar figure to suddenly appear.

However, Fu Beichen still hadn't returned until she finished her meal.

Lin Yumeng put down her chopsticks, slowly stood up, and said softly to Aunt Liu, "Aunt Liu, could you please help me clear the table?"

After giving her instructions, she turned and walked upstairs.

She took a nap in the afternoon and now she is in good spirits. She started surfing the Internet when she had nothing to do.

As soon as she opened the hot search list, she saw a piece of news that shocked her.

The headline read: "The Dong Group CEO's beloved daughter was kidnapped. The kidnapper has been apprehended and is expected to receive a ten-year sentence."

There is a photo under the title. Who else could it be but Dong Ruojie?

Lin Yumeng had a very good first impression of Dong Ruojie. She thought she was a beautiful and intelligent woman who acted calmly and with moderation, and was a good match for Qianye.

Seeing that she was kidnapped, Lin Yumeng couldn't wait to click on it. She wanted to know what was going on.

At first, she thought it was done by the rival or enemy of Dong Group, but when she saw the face of the criminal, she was stunned. How could it be him!

Xie Kang was so bold as to kidnap Dong Ruojie and use it to extort money from Qianye.

Who on earth gave him this crazy idea? It's so stupid!

If he had risked his life to warn and frighten Dong Ruojie for Xie Yao, she could have understood it as a sign of deep sibling affection. The problem was that he was extorting her, and in the end, after taking the money, he still wanted to harm her life.

This Xie Kang is not only an extremely greedy villain, but also extremely vicious!

Lin Yumeng originally planned to call Qian Ye to ask him about Dong Ruojie's situation and express her concern and regards.

However, just as she was about to press the dial button, the latest and most popular video news suddenly popped up on the phone screen.

"The new president of Qian's Group has his fiancée injured, and his ex-girlfriend is threatening to jump off a building. What will he choose?"

Lin Yumeng's eyes widened. Did her phone "guess what I like"? It actually pushed the follow-up she wanted directly to her.

She stopped the urge to make a phone call, raised her finger and lightly tapped, and entered this eye-catching video.

The video begins with Xie Kang being caught by the police and sent to the police station. Then Xie Yao appears at the crime scene and threatens Qian Ye with death to let Xie Kang go.

At this time, Xie Yao was standing on an abandoned and unfinished high-rise building. Behind her was the balcony that had not yet been closed, and below her was a desolate and messy ruin.

At this height, jumping down would definitely lead to death.

Qian Ye was standing opposite Dong Ruojie with his arms around her, and there were two policemen beside her. Dong Ruojie had a wound on her forehead and her face did not look too good.

"Qian Ye, if you don't let the police release my brother, I will jump from here. I will make you bear the reputation of not saving someone from death and forcing your ex-girlfriend to death for the rest of your life. You will live with guilt forever."

Hearing this, Lin Yumeng's face was full of disbelief. Who gave her the courage to make her think that with just a word from Qian Ye, she could get Xie Kang out of the police's hands?

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this incident was entirely caused by her brother's mistakes! But instead of setting an example and teaching her brother to correct his mistakes, she resorted to such extreme means to threaten Qianye. This was completely out of line!

Moreover, it was clearly her brother who was at fault in this matter, yet she threatened Qian Ye with death, which was completely out of line.

Even if she died, it was because of herself and her brother. What does it have to do with Qianye?

He didn't force her to commit suicide.

Lin Yumeng suddenly felt that Jiang Jinmei had helped Qianye a lot. If she hadn't interfered, Qianye would not have known that she was such a person.

Otherwise, after they get married, Qianye will be like a dumb person swallowing bitter herbs and unable to express his pain, and who knows what kind of jokes the two of them will make.

Qian Ye glanced at Xie Yao coldly and said indifferently: "Xie Kang kidnapped and extorted, and is also suspected of intentional injury. You want me to release him, but I don't have such extraordinary ability."

At this point, his handsome face was filled with frost. "Even if I had it, I wouldn't help him, because he hurt my fiancée. It would be merciful for me not to try to kill him. You still expect me to help him? It's simply wishful thinking."

When Xie Yao heard this, her body trembled slightly and her face turned pale. She stared at Qian Ye with tears welling up uncontrollably.

"Qianye~Xie Kang is my brother, my biological brother. Why did you call the police to arrest him?"

If it were in the past, seeing Xie Yao sad, he would definitely be heartbroken and at a loss, and would even run over to hug her tightly in his arms, coax her with soft words, and try every possible way to give her comfort and warmth.

But not anymore, because he has people of his own to protect.

So when faced with Xie Yao's grief-stricken questioning, he just stood there expressionlessly, without any sympathy at all.

He quickly looked away, his expression solemn and his tone serious, "He's an adult now. Since he made a mistake, he should bear the corresponding responsibility. If you don't understand the law, you can find a professional to educate you. There's no point in being unreasonable."

Xie Yao knew that her legal awareness was weak, so she looked at Qian Ye with tears in her eyes and pleaded, "Qian Ye, can't you save him for the sake of our past friendship?"

Qianye rejected her request without even thinking about it.

"No, and we have already severed all ties."

Xie Yao's face was full of disbelief, and other emotions emerged in her tearful eyes, including helplessness, confusion, pain and hatred.

She asked in a voice hoarse from crying, "Why are you so heartless?"

Qianye saw that Dong Ruojie in his arms looked pale. Although the wound on her forehead had stopped bleeding, she still needed to go to the hospital to avoid scarring.

He didn't want to waste any more time talking to Xie Yao, so he picked up Dong Ruojie by the waist and turned around to go down, leaving this place to the police next to him.

Seeing him about to leave, Xie Yao burst into tears and shouted at his back, "Qian Ye, please don't leave. I beg you, can you ask Miss Dong not to hold him responsible?"

"No!" Qianye stopped and said firmly.

"Why not? Miss Dong was only slightly injured. Why should my brother go to jail? You are just maliciously taking revenge on me."

Xie Yao roared at him like a madman, and the angry roar made his body tremble.

He turned around while holding Dong Ruojie, and looked at Xie Yao with an expression that could not be concealed.

Qianye didn't understand how she became like this. She was obviously not like this before.

At that time she was innocent and kind, but now...

With red eyes, he turned and left with Dong Ruojie in his arms, hoping that they would never see each other again.
