Chapter 261: Seeking Justice
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yun Bixue hugged her younger sister dotingly. Caressing her head, Yun Bixue said, "You were not impulsive. You didn't do anything wrong either. I have the best younger sister in the world."
Yun Bilu was overjoyed. She always felt that her elder sister had loved her so much. Whatever she wanted to do, her sister would understand and support her.
As a matter of fact, during her university days, the three sisters in her dormitory were all children of royal families. Each household had numerous children, and their blood-related brothers and sisters would constantly scheme against each other. All of them envied that Yun Bilu had such a kind elder sister.
It was true; she did have a loving elder sister. Yun Bixue was her biggest blessing.
Su Lenghan's call abruptly ended, and he couldn't calm his heart down for a long time. In fact, her whole speech had caused him to suffer a huge blow. The things that he had done had honestly been so deplorable!
Heartbeat quickening, he knitted his brows. That crisp voice belonged to a young lady. Was she Yun Bixue's younger sister?
But I remember that Yun Bixue only had one younger sister—Yun Mengshi. There were no other girls in the Yun family, right?
Or did I forget something else again?
In reality, Yun Bixue's younger sister was of great importance to her. When she was together with Su Lenghan in the beginning, she had never mentioned a single word about Yun Bilu to him. Perhaps deep in her core, she subconsciously knew that Su Lenghan wasn't reliable.
It was undeniable that Yun Bixue's subconscious had indeed been accurate.
Su Lenghan still wanted to talk to her. Seeing that the other side had hung up the call, he could only sigh. Raising his head, he looked at the Snow Cloud Group's building. He pursed his lips, then left.
He assumed that she was in a bad mood, and understood that she blamed him. He would wait and select another appropriate time to beg for her forgiveness again!
Just as he took a few steps towards his car, Meng Xinyan blocked his path. "Su Lenghan, so you were here all along. Tell me, where did you go, huh? I couldn't find you anywhere. Didn't you say you weren't feeling well? Why are you here? You lied to me—you're doing this on purpose... Did you come here to look for Yun Bixue? Ahhh! She doesn't even like you anymore! You were the one who chose me back then..."
Su Lenghan's head rang. Looking at Meng Xinyan's mouth open and close repeatedly, he couldn't take it anymore in the end. He roared, "Stop talking!"
"How could you yell at me? Ahh, Su Lenghan, you're an irresponsible man! Su Lengxian framed me, she framed me! Yet you still chose to believe them! You're ignoring me on purpose. Don't forget that I'm the matron of the Su family that you officially married!"
They caused an endless ruckus outside.
In the Snow Cloud Group's building, Yun Bixue was reviewing the bonus reports that the finance department had prepared based on their performance. She also discussed the annual company gathering with Yang Mei. With this event, she intended to blow up the Snow Cloud Group's value in one fell swoop!
She busied herself the entire day. Yun Bilu followed after her elder sister and learned how to handle certain matters. She enjoyed herself immensely as she helped out here and there.
After returning home at night and having dinner, Yun Bilu sat beside Yun Bixue. She complained to her brother-in-law, "Brother-in-Law, you have no idea how annoying Su Lenghan was. My elder sister didn't even want to deal with him, yet he kept pestering her. I really wanted to go downstairs and knock out his teeth!"
Yun Bixue tugged at her younger sister's sleeve, gesturing for her to stop. She didn't want Xie Limo to fret over this trivial matter.
Yun Bilu intentionally ignored her elder sister's actions. She continued, "Brother-in-Law, did you see that? My elder sister doesn't want you to worry so she won't tell you anything. But, I really do hate that guy. What makes him think that my elder sister should meet up him, just because he wants to see her? My elder sister hates him. That guy just doesn't know his limits!"
Xie Limo listened, and a cold glint flashed across his eyes. Nonetheless, he looked at Yun Bixue with a trace of helplessness in his eyes. He asked Yun Bilu, "Are you trying to seek justice for your elder sister, and asking me to take action?" When it came to the Su family, he wasn't sure if his wife had completely let go. Therefore, in consideration of his wife's feelings, he usually chose not to interfere.

Yun Bilu nodded her head vigorously. "Of course! Brother-in-Law, I know that you're strong and powerful. My elder sister listens to you the most. She annoyed by Su Lenghan too! She clearly rejected him already, and she even threw the doll that Su Lenghan gave her down the building. My elder sister actually likes those dolls, especially little piggies, but she hated the one that Su Lenghan gave her. It's so annoying..."
Yun Bilu complained ceaselessly. This time, Xie Limo listened gravely. He captured every single word in his ears. In his heart, waves of emotions began to swell.
Especially when he heard that Su Lenghan had sent his wife a doll, his expression turned dark and cold. His eyes narrowed and revealed an extremely dangerous light.
Xie Limo looked at Yun Bixue and asked, "My dear, did you really dislike that doll?"
Suddenly receiving a question, Yun Bixue instinctively answered, "I just don't like the person who sent it to me."
Hearing that reply, Xie Limo chuckled softly. His aura and radiance were magnificent and unparalleled.
Yun Bixue only realized that she had given an answer. She looked at the smile on Xie Limo's lips and felt great displeasure in her heart. Her husband was indeed two-faced; he tricked her into answering!
Nevertheless, Yun Bixue felt more repulsed towards Su Lenghan now. He was already married and had responsibilities, yet he still came to look for her. To her, this wasn't something a man with obligations should be doing.
She increasingly felt that Xie Limo was wonderful. No one else could ever match up to him. It was an insult to compare other men to Xie Limo.
In the study room that night, Xie Limo released a mission using the computer system.
Xie Liu arrived in Xie Limo's study room and called courteously, "Young Master Xie!"
"Yes. Su Lenghan and Meng Xinyan haven't been spending time together recently?"
Xie Liu listened to Young Master Xie's piercingly cold and dangerous voice, and his heart trembled. He nodded and answered, "Yes." He had been serving by Young Master Xie's side for many years. Naturally, he knew that Young Master Xie had always been calm and collected, and was quick to devise strategies. No matter what he was faced with, Young Master Xie would never frown. Of course, this was before he met Young Madam.
Now, Xie Liu could feel that Young Master Xie had been enraged. Could it be related to Su Lenghan and Meng Xinyan?
"Concentrate the efforts on one area. Incite the media and other royal families to pressure the Su and Meng families. Since they're married now, they should be together." How could his wife tolerate someone else harboring feelings for her? Therefore, he would make Su Lenghan so occupied that he wouldn't have the time to look for her.
"Yes!" Although this was a small matter, Xie Liu understood that he had to do it well. It was because Young Master Xie was presently encased in a dark aura.
Moreover, listening to the knocking sounds Young Master Xie made as he tapped on the table, Xie Liu's heart shivered uncontrollably as well. This was his first time experiencing such breathlessness. He knew that Young Master Xie must be in a foul mood.
"Meng Xintong from the Meng family has the information to bring her stepmother down in her hands. Think of a way to make Meng Xintong postpone the exposure of this matter. Allow Meng Xinyan and Su Lenghan to be stuck together first, then boost the public opinion for one of them—then expose them!"
Xie Liu listened to Young Master Xie's instructions attentively, feeling rather worried for Su Lenghan and Meng Xinyan. Of all people, why did those two offend Young Master Xie?
Of course, Xie Liu didn't know that the dominating and chauvinistic side of Young Master Xie was responsible for this. On top of that, he was protective of Yun Bixue. Thus, he personally made arrangements for such a trivial matter.
That night, Yun Bixue was dazed and was close to falling asleep. Xie Limo entered the bedroom. Lifting her up, he said, "Let's go. I'll take you to see your present!"
"What is it?" Yun Bixue rubbed her eyes. Looking at Xie Limo behaving mysteriously, she truly couldn't imagine what he wanted to give her.
When they arrived at a room on the first floor, she saw that it was completely filled with dolls. There were also many little piggy dolls of all sorts of design and patterns. Yun Bixue was astounded!
Chapter 263: Giving You A Room Full of Dolls
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The room was full of dolls, all in colors that suited a young lady. The very image of it could instantly fill up a young lady's heart. There were colors of pink and peach, and it was as beautiful as a dream.
Yun Bixue's eyes opened wide, her mouth agape. She almost gasped, but immediately used her hands to cover her mouth. She couldn't believe it at all. Looking stunned, tears slowly flowed from her eyes.
Wasn't this what she dreamed of in her teenage years? She loved dolls. Her friends all had parents who would buy dolls for them. Her grandfather was quite old and also busy with work. He didn't understand a little girl's feelings. There was no one else who would buy them for her.
After her little sister found out, she collected two years' worth of allowance and bought Yun Bixue a doll. Yang Siru and Yun Mengshi snatched it away, and her younger sister ended up fighting them. The doll was ripped into pieces. In order to cheer her little sister up, Yun Bixue reassured her that she didn't like the doll, and never mentioned nor thought about it again.
However, she'd still dreamed of a room full of dolls in her house. In fact, her life back then was arduous, and the two sisters had to rely on each other. The only comfort she could offer herself was to have a wonderful dream that she could fantasize. At least she could imagine it and give herself hope. She could then encourage herself to be strong and continue living her life.
Seeing that her teenage dream had been fulfilled, she felt that it was all so unreal. She wanted to smile, but couldn't control her tears. No matter how desolate she had felt and how tough her days had been, she felt that the past didn't matter now.
Life was indeed fascinating. Her past days had been grim. However, after her life changed for the better, she realized her mood had become more peaceful. She was even grateful for those experiences. It made her stronger and more hardworking, and it allowed her to meet her better half.
Xie Limo simply stood by her side and watched her. His gaze was gentle, and his pale pink lips were curled into a smile. He watched her quietly.
After Yun Bixue regained her composure, Xie Limo asked slowly, "How is it? Do you like it?"
In reality, Xie Limo had a dominating streak. Only he could purchase the things that his wife liked. When had it ever been Su Lenghan's turn to do so?
And he had yet to deal with Su Lenghan for hurting his wife!
Of course, Xie Limo would never think that Su Lenghan not cherishing Yun Bixue back then was the reason he could meet her. Strictly speaking, Su Lenghan did deserve to be credited.
Yun Bixue turned back. With tears in her eyes, she looked at Xie Limo. "Did you prepare all this?" Why didn't she notice? When did her husband prepare this? When were these sent to the house?
Xie Limo looked at how Yun Bixue's eyes sparkled with tears. Feeling helpless, he gently wiped away her tears with his hands. Lowering his head, he kissed the corner of her eyes and replied, "These were all chosen by me. And as for how I prepared it, my wife can take a guess herself."
Yun Bixue narrowed her eyes, but her heart felt warm. Sometimes, just a sentence from Xie Limo could brighten her spirits.
Yun Bixue stepped forward and picked up one of the dolls. She hugged it with delight. She was in her twenties, so she still loved the things that she'd liked when she was younger. Regardless of age, these dolls represented happiness in her heart.
At night, Yun Bixue took the initiative to be assertive. Xie Limo was very pleased with her performance.
On another day, when Yun Bixue continued to visit her office, she met Meng Xinyan standing outside the building.
"Why are you here?" Yun Bixue knitted her brows, looking rather annoyed by Meng Xinyan.
Meng Xinyan's sharp eyes detected the doll hanging on Yun Bixue's bag. She began screaming in a shrill voice, "Yun Bixue, you! Aren't you shameless? I am Su Lenghan's wife. How could you seduce him and make him buy things for you?" Since criticisms and accusations followed her everywhere she went, there was no need to put up a front anymore. Thus, she no longer cared about her image.
Chapter 264: There's A Lunatic At The Entrance

Yun Bixue answered indifferently, "Meng Xinyan, if you want to go crazy, please go to an appropriate place. This is a public area, not somewhere you can behave atrociously." How did Meng Xinyan land herself in such a state? She no longer had any resemblance to her past self. At the very least, she did resemble a socialite when she dressed up in the past. It was different from what she looked like now.
Recently, Meng Xinyan was truly losing her mind from frustration. The Meng family was in shambles. The reporters surrounded them and continuously shouted questions while taking pictures. They even released endless exposés, and they never ceased reporting news about her family. She wanted to look for Su Lenghan, but he refused to pick up her calls nor see her. In her heart, she grew more and more uneasy.
In particular, Mother Su would mock and sneer at her whenever they met, constantly chastising her.
She couldn't take it and would argue back with Mother Su. For the whole day, the fiery exchanges never stopped.
After a prolonged period of being at loggerheads with each other, Meng Xinyan had already forgotten how she looked like when she was a top socialite. It seemed like she had already grown used to behaving like a shrew.
"Haha, am I behaving atrociously? Let's get everyone to judge. Tsk, tsk. You're the one who likes dolls! Come, come! Everyone, take a look! You're all employees of the Snow Cloud Group, aren't you? Haha, did you know? It was her; she seduced my Lenghan and made him give her a doll... Even the receptionists know about it... Can you all see what she did? She hung a doll on her bag. She claims to be together with Young Master Xie, but she's having an affair! She's shamelessly seducing other people..."
It was currently time for employees to report for work. The employees of Snow Cloud Group gathered at the entrance to watch the commotion.
"Oh, isn't that Elder Sister Yun from our HR department? I remember that some man gave her a doll. Back then, the receptionist asked me to send it up to her!"
"Yes, that's her. She's always missing from the office and thinks she's a big shot. Ugh, and our company still has to provide her a salary. She thinks her status is higher than President Yang's and manages everything... Apparently, she's even having an affair with Young Master Su!"
"Tsk, tsk. She's the eldest daughter of the Yun family, so she's got a strong backing. She has Young Master Xie to support her, so who would dare to offend her!"
"I heard that she brazenly climbed into Young Master Xie's bed. The reporters even published an article about it, but Young Master Xie stepped forward to clear up the rumors. Who knows what's the truth!"
"You guys should stop making these sarcastic remarks. You're just being sour grapes. Elder Sister Yun is hardworking. Are you so blind that you can't see how capable she is?"
"Exactly. Elder Sister Yun is a nice person. No matter what she did, at least her actions are righteous, unlike some jealous, wicked person! Plus, Young Master Su gave the doll to her on his own. What could Elder Sister Yun do about it?"
...
In the Snow Cloud Group, no one else besides Yang Mei knew Yun Bixue's true identity—that of the Group's president. Some were jealous of Yun Bixue, while others were genuinely protective of her. All in all, the Group was divided into two schools of thought, and there were plenty of rumors going around.
Yun Bixue turned back and slowly swept her gaze over everyone. She also glanced at the onlookers.
They didn't know why, but many of the employees making those sarcastic remarks felt a cold chill run down their spines after being stared at. Their heart couldn't help feeling uneasy.
Wang Man coincidentally arrived at the company after stepping out from the public bus. Noticing the scene, she yelled, "If all of you don't clock in now, you'll be late! I'll be checking on your attendance records. Don't you want your bonuses? Oh, right, President Yang will be arriving soon. If he sees you all here, I wonder what he'd think!"
After everyone scurried into the building, Yun Bixue said to Meng Xinyan, "You should visit the mental hospital for treatment. When you're discharged, Su Lenghan might even want you back." As she spoke, she ignored Meng Xinyan and entered the building.
"Ahh... Yun Bixue..." Livid, Meng Xinyan lunged forward to grab Yun Bixue's hand.
The instant Yun Bixue's arm hurt, she swung her arm reflexively. Meng Xinyan was flung onto the ground. Covering her stomach, her complexion turned pale. She screamed, "Ouch, it hurts... Save me...!"
Chapter 265: Bleeding

Yun Bixue turned back and looked at Meng Xinyan. She was in disbelief. She had acted on reflex to escape from Meng Xinyan's clutches. Why was she lying on the floor and yelling about her pain?
Is she that fragile? Or is she pulling a trick again?
Regardless of the reason, after seeing Meng Xinyan in this state, Yun Bixue still approached her hesitantly. "Are you okay?"
Meng Xinyan took a look at Yun Bixue. In particular, the pink doll hanging on the latter's bag stung her eyes. Even though she was in pain, she didn't care about anything else. She began to shout, "Yun Bixue, you sl*t! You seduced Su Lenghan! You already have Young Master Xie, but you still seduced him... Do you still have feelings for him? Tell me..."
Seeing that Meng Xinyan still had the energy to lash out at her, Yun Bixue stood up. She didn't want to care about Meng Xinyan anymore. If she had the strength to yell at her, then she was just fine.
"Meng Xinyan, I can't be bothered to explain it to you. Stop trying to trick me. Do you see that? There are CCTVs in front of the building. They recorded how you fell to the ground."
Finally, Yun Bixue picked up her bag and was just about to leave.
Right at that moment, Su Lenghan alighted from his car. Dashing over, he called out, "Xinyan?"
Meng Xinyan felt a sudden surge of energy. She wailed, "Lenghan, sob... Come and save me! I'm in pain, so much pain... Yun Bixue shoved me. She said that she hated seeing the two of us together, and then she pushed me to the ground. I'm in so much pain..."
The instant Su Lenghan heard that Yun Bixue hated seeing him, his heart twisted. Seeing Meng Xinyan complaining that she was in pain, he thought that it was just another scheme and didn't want to acknowledge her. He had come here because he received a call from a stranger. They told him that Yun Bixue had gotten involved in a fight, and he'd felt worried. Thus, he quickly drove over.
Little did he expect to see Meng Xinyan lying on the ground.
However, when Su Lenghan noticed traces of blood on Meng Xinyan's thighs, his expression changed drastically. He hastily pulled her up. "What happened? Does your stomach hurt?" No matter what happened, he was indeed responsible for Meng Xinyan. Seeing such a scene, he also felt concerned.
"Lenghan, sob... You finally care about me. I know I did something wrong, but I did it all because I love you. Yun Bixue was the one who provoked me on purpose and shoved me. She did it to get revenge on the two of us! Am I dying? I'm in so much pain..." Meng Xinyan knew how to capture a man's heart. These words were precisely what Su Lenghan cared about the most.
Su Lenghan raised his head and took a look at Yun Bixue. His gaze was so cold, and it was filled with heartache. Although he wasn't reprimanding her, his attitude was so icy that it didn't differ much from an accusation.
After just one glance, he carefully lifted up Meng Xinyan and left.
Meng Xinyan clutched onto Su Lenghan's sleeves, and let her tears trickle down as she bawled.
Yun Bixue stood with shock at her original position. She was clearly not upset, but why did her heart feel so downcast? Haha, he was indeed Su Lenghan. That day, he had begged for her forgiveness. Just a few days later, he was already looking at her with disapproval.
She, Yun Bixue, never owed his Su family anything! As she pondered, her gaze turned colder and colder, as though she had no feelings towards Su Lenghan at all.
However, when she lowered her head and noticed the traces of blood on the ground, her expression changed. She was startled. This was where Meng Xinyan had fallen. Could it be...?
A thought suddenly popped into her head. Yun Bixue frantically fished out her cell phone and quickly called Xie Limo.
"Hello? My dear, what happened? Didn't you leave for work?"
"Limo, I have to tell you something. Meng Xinyan came to look for me just now. We had an argument, and she ended up lying on the ground bleeding. I suspect that she might be pregnant. She grabbed my hand first, so I flung her away by reflex. I didn't know that this would happen. What do you think I should do?"
