Chapter 18 Ye Zi and His Childhood Sweetheart_1

Upon hearing this, Wang Renwei's eyes nearly bulged out, his voice shaking from an unseen excitement.

"Otherwise, I'll send her back right away, rest assured, she'll definitely get home safely."

——

At this moment.

In a top-tier restaurant, Ye Zi was dining with Mu Yeli.

Ye Zi looked at Mu Yeli, smiled and said, "Thank you for accompanying me to the hospital, Brother Yeli. I'm much better now. I guess I had a fit when I was at the Mu family... It was so chaotic."

Remembering it, Ye Zi felt embarrassed. Her mom always meant well for her, but her poor judgment often caused trouble.

Nevertheless, she was her mother, she had no choice.

Luckily, Mu Yeli understood that her mother's ignorance had nothing to do with her.

So, from then on, Ye Zi put all the blame on her mother.

"My mother, I can't help it, but she is still my mother. I don't know when she'll mature and stop causing trouble."

As Ye Zi spoke, her face betrayed melancholy.

Mu Yeli was eating quietly, moving his cutlery elegantly. Every move of his exuded nobility. "Forget it, don't think about it too much. Your condition is not suited for overthinking."

Ever since that accident...

Ye Zi had been left with a lingering illness, depending on medication to stay alive. The Mu family funded all the medical expenses. If it had been an ordinary family, Ye Zi might not have been able to endure it. Fortunately, the Mu family was incredibly wealthy. They could afford any kind of medication for her, which was why she was still alive.

Mu Yeli knew that she had been in a bad mood these days, which had affected her health. He put down his cutlery and wiped his mouth with a pristine table napkin.

"Ye Ning was chosen by the family. Being the chosen successor, I have to admit, there are certain things I can't choose, like my marriage. I know the Mu family originally chose you."

Ye Zi was taken aback for a moment, then she lowered her head in sadness. "I know, Brother Yeli, I don't blame you. It's just my bad luck. Don't blame Ye Ning either. She drugged you impulsively, I believe she didn't mean any harm."

"It doesn't matter," said Mu Yeli.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Anyway, she shouldn't think that drugging him would get her into his bed. He won't be seeing her, going anywhere she might be, or even giving her a glance in this lifetime. Mu Yeli clenched his fork tightly.

On hearing this, Ye Zi's eyes lit up. If his heart was still with her, she would one day kick Ye Ning out of the Mu family.

Just then, Mu Yeli's phone rang.

He looked down to see Ye Ning's name on the screen.

The contact was saved before their marriage, but he hadn't answered a single call from her since. Who knew she would have the audacity to call him now.

She was really shameless to even dare call him.

As he picked up the phone, prepared to hurl abuses.

Listening to the voice on the phone, his handsome face froze.

The voice...

"Missy, you might not know it, but in this circle, having a backer is crucial to getting famous. Look at you, a country girl with nothing. You might as well follow me..."

It was a nauseating male voice.

The familiar voice underneath was a bit woozy,

"Get away, stay away from me, I don't want fame!"

"Ye Ning, you should be grateful you're pretty. It couldn't be easier for you to get famous, just serve Director Wang nicely. What are you afraid of? Without a background, this is the only way for you to become famous. You think you're Ye Zi? Relying on Mu Yeli and everything falls into place. You can't do that, you can only rely on your body."

Ye Ning?

Mu Yeli stood up abruptly.

Ye Zi asked in surprise on the other side, "What's wrong, Yeli?"

Mu Yeli thought of Ye Ning's seductive look.

The voices from the phone seemed to construct a vivid picture in his head.

He felt a blockage in his chest.

"Hello, Yeli..."

"I'll arrange for someone to take you home," Mu Yeli said.

With that, Mu Yeli walked out briskly.
