Song An sat alone at the restaurant for a long time but Han Muzi still had not come back. The phone on the table vibrated and Song An took a look at it. It was a text from Ye Moxuan. Still, Han Muzi was nowhere to be seen. Maybe she should wait until she came back to read the text.
Song An then put the phone back and continued to wait for her, but she still did not show up. As such, she frowned and felt that something was wrong. She called the waiter to get the cheque. Then, she took Han Muzi’s phone and handbag with her and asked the waiter to show her the way to the bathroom. However, the bathroom was empty.
“What’s going on? Where is she?” Song An asked the waiter.
The waiter looked confused. “I’m not sure either. The lady earlier asked me where the bathroom was and she went the same direction, then… I don’t think I’ve seen her come out of the bathroom. I thought she was just having some stomach issues, so I didn’t ask.”
Didn’t see her come out? “Apart from this one, do you have any other bathrooms in this restaurant?”
The waiter bit his lip and shook his head. “No. This is our only bathroom. Even all the employees use the same one too.”
After hearing this and connecting it to what happened before, Song An suddenly realized what had just happened. Sh*t.
“Miss, why don’t… we go into the bathroom and look again?”
Song An came back to her senses and responded coldly, “No need. No one’s there.” At this point, she seemed to have figured where Han Muzi went. She instantly felt chills on her face and in the air around her. Yuchi Jin!
Song An turned around to walk out only to find out that there was another passage along the hallway. She immediately took that way.
“Ah, why is this door opened?”
Now, Song An was almost certain about what happened to Han Muzi. She would never have thought that her father, Yuchi Jin, would do something like this. It seemed like she would never acknowledge him as her father again.
As Song An came out from the restaurant, Han Muzi’s phone rang—it was Ye Moxuan. He might be calling because Han Muzi never returned his text messages. But this… If she told him about it, would that complicate things? It was supposed to be something between Yuchi Jin and her, but Han Muzi was dragged into it. She should take care of it herself.
At this point, Song An decided not to answer the phone and silenced it instead. She continued to walk. After a few steps, however, a car abruptly stopped in front of her, and a few men came down right away and surrounded her.
Song An was able to recognize these men immediately as those that she met this morning, but two were missing. Huh.
Song An crossed her arms and smiled coldly. “What now? Do you want to kidnap me too?” After that, she put out her hands. “Hands or legs?”
The leader heard what she said and became frightened. He shook his head in fear. “Neither, Miss Song An. We’re just here to invite you.”
“Invite me?” Song An fiercely squinted. “If you were inviting me, why did you make the people around me disappear?”
The same man responded, “We didn’t have a choice. Miss Song An, please come into the car with us.”
“Where is she?” Song An asked them coldly and did not take a step forward, “If you were to lay a single finger on her, do you believe I will put all of you behind bars?”
The man who spoke to her had a terrified look on him. He quickly explained, “Rest assured, Miss Song An; as long as you come with us, we won’t do anything to her.”
After getting the answer, Song An knew for a fact that Han Muzi was not in the car. So, even if she went into the car, she would not be able to see Han Muzi. But if she did not do that, it was even more unlikely for her to see her.
“Miss Song An, please get in the car.” The leader opened the car door for her and made a gesture with his hand to invite her into the car. Song An hesitated, but still ended up going in the car.
At the Yuchi Residence, Yuchi Jin was sitting in the living room with a picture frame in his hand. It was a picture of a family of four. Yuchi Jin looked fairly young in the picture, though he was already middle-aged at the time. Even so, he still looked very handsome. Standing next to him was a woman around his age who still looked decent and young for her age. She looked proper and gentle. The two kids around them, one taller than the other, were holding hands and leaning on each other. They looked like they were close. At that time, this harmonious family was admired by many. But now? He was the only one left in the entire Yuchi residence.
His fingers looked old, and his skin was also wrinkled. Yuchi Jin gently touched the faces of his wife and children in the photo with tears in his eyes.
Yu Bo saw everything and let out a deep sigh in his heart. “Old Master, maybe you should stop looking at it. Some things can never be changed.”
Yuchi Jin lifted his head and his eyes were watery. He held the picture frame in his hands and mumbled, “Yu Bo, do you think I did way too many bad things in my past life that I have to be punished so severely in this life?” Even though he was famous and incredibly wealthy… his wife and children had all left him, leaving him with no one to care for him.
Yu Bo was lost for words. Old Master’s current situation did sadden him. The two kept quiet for a while until someone walked in. “Old Master, Miss Song An is here.”
Yu Bo and Yuchi Jin were taken by surprise as they subconsciously turned to look at each other. It seemed like they were both surprised by this news. A few moments later, Yu Bo finally had a smile on his face. “Old Master, look—God is still merciful to you. Isn’t Miss An home now? Go and invite her in.”
The person bringing the news turned around and left. He quickly brought Song An in and left to wait outside.
Seeing Song An showing up in front of him, Yuchi Jin looked slightly confused. He thought he was mistaken. Why would she, who was reluctant to see him, suddenly come home to look for him? One thought crossed Yuchi Jin’s mind. She might be here because of Moxuan.
As Yuchi Jin was thinking about it, he realized his eyes were still teary, so he quickly wiped off the tears and gently told Yu Bo, “Yu, please have the maids prepare some tea and desserts.”
Song An was surprised to see the tears in Yuchi Jin’s eyes. It was like a needle poking her heart, but the feeling was quickly replaced by anger. She could not find any outlet for anger on her way here, so all her anger had accumulated.
Finally, she saw Yuchi Jin. She immediately went up to him and yelled, “Stop pretending. You know I’m not here for tea and snacks! Yuchi Jin! Where’s your conscience? Why did you order people to have her kidnapped? Don’t you know that she’s pregnant?!”
