From the bottom of her heart, Sun Meijia didn’t really want to have coffee with Ye Xunhuan, but faced with Ye Xunhuan’s invitation, she couldn’t refuse, so she had no choice but to nod and agree.
After that, Ye Xunhuan and Sun Meijia left together.
Ye Xunhuan was quite familiar with the area where Olivia lived, so he quickly found a café.
Perhaps because it was lunchtime, there weren’t many people in the café, making it seem quite tranquil.
After entering the café, Ye Xunhuan and Sun Meijia found a seat by the window and ordered two cups of coffee.
"Mr. Ye, didn’t you notify Si Chan before you came?"
"No!" Ye Xunhuan said flatly, "I wanted to give her a surprise, but it turned out to be an unlucky time; she’s not here!"
"Actually, your timing is quite good. Si Chan just returned a few days ago," Sun Meijia said softly. "If you came a few days earlier, you wouldn’t see her at all."
Ye Xunhuan smiled and changed the subject: "Why is Miss Sun here?"
"I’m here for tourism, and unexpectedly ran into Si Chan, so I ended up staying here."
"It seems like Miss Sun’s assets are quite abundant to be living in the same area as Si Chan!" Ye Xunhuan said playfully.
"Mr. Ye is really joking. How could I afford such a high-end place? I’m just staying nearby!" Sun Meijia replied softly.
As Ye Xunhuan and Sun Meijia talked, the coffee was brought to them.
"Miss Sun, it looks like you’re getting along well with Si Chan these days?"
"Pretty well!" Sun Meijia said gently. "Si Chan and I hit it off, and she’s quite likable."
"So, do you regret it?" Ye Xunhuan suddenly changed the topic.
Sun Meijia was stunned, her heart skipped a beat, but her face showed no expression and remained calm as she responded to Ye Xunhuan: "Mr. Ye, what do you mean by that?"
"Miss Sun..."
As Ye Xunhuan spoke, it was as if he thought of something, and changed his tone: "No, Miss Tao or should I say mother-in-law, abandoning a daughter to leave with another man, betraying the He family, do you regret it now?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Meijia’s heart was in turmoil, unable to calm down for a long time, but her expression remained unchanged except her eyes started to dodge slightly.
Ye Xunhuan caught this subtle change and said in a measured way, "Am I wrong?"
"Mr. Ye, I don’t understand what you’re talking about."
"It’s okay if you don’t understand; DNA can tell us everything!" Ye Xunhuan said with an air of ease and confidence. "Do you want to do a DNA test with Si Chan?"
Sun Meijia fell into silence, completely at a loss for what to say.
Seeing Sun Meijia’s silence, Ye Xunhuan spoke again: "Actually, I discovered something was wrong with you long ago and have been investigating you."
"Even though you hid it well, a fake is ultimately a fake; it can’t withstand scrutiny and detailed examination."
Saying this, Ye Xunhuan took a sip of coffee and continued: "You might deceive others, but not me. After all, I’m the Marshal, and my network is complex and extensive. If I want to investigate someone, I could trace back countless generations!"
Sun Meijia took a deep breath and stared at Ye Xunhuan, saying, "As expected of the Marshal. But what I don’t understand is, since you discovered me long ago, why haven’t you exposed me?"
"I wanted to see what you were really up to!" Ye Xunhuan wasn’t the least bit surprised that Sun Meijia admitted it, as if he had already predicted it.
The truth is, Sun Meijia is a smart person, and she realizes that denial would do no good, especially if Ye Xunhuan captured her or manipulated things to present the DNA test results to her. Even if she denied it, it would be pointless.
"Surprisingly, you once tried to threaten me with your own daughter, intending to take the Tai Chi Seal from me and even targeting He Luo, but I didn’t expect you to hold back all this time."
"Marshal, you really know a lot!"
"I also know that you’re with Ke Qinghong." Ye Xunhuan smiled as he watched Sun Meijia.
Upon hearing this, Sun Meijia’s face changed immediately: "You... you..."
"You’re wondering how I know, right?"
"Exactly!"
"I guessed!" Ye Xunhuan said calmly. "But your reaction has already told me I guessed right, that you’re with Ke Qinghong. The only question is what kind of person you are with him."
"Are you his lover, or just a pawn?"
Sun Meijia took a deep breath to calm her turbulent emotions: "What do you want to do?"
"It should be me asking you, what do you want to do?"
"Marshal, even if you’ve figured all this out, you might not be able to take me down!"
"To me, you’re just a minor villain. You know I’m the Marshal, so you should understand that here, I call the shots. If I want you dead, you die, and even Ke Qinghong can’t save you!" Ye Xunhuan said confidently. "And I can make you disappear from this world without a trace, like you evaporated into thin air. Do you believe it?"
Do you believe it!
These three words echoed in Sun Meijia’s ears, stirring up anew the storm that had just calmed within her, again leaving her unable to find peace.
Although she didn’t want to admit it, she had to acknowledge that what Ye Xunhuan said was true, that he could indeed achieve what he claimed.
Seeing Sun Meijia’s silence, Ye Xunhuan spoke again: "Actually, I also know why you haven’t made a move. Olivia was here before; you know Olivia is actually the Blood Phoenix; you didn’t stand a chance!"
"With Olivia not here now, she would surely have arranged everything. If you acted, success would be good, but if you failed, you wouldn’t be able to keep lurking!" Ye Xunhuan stared intensely at Sun Meijia. "But I’m curious, Si Chan is your daughter, can you really bring yourself to harm her?"
"If you give me what I want, I won’t harm Si Chan!"
"So if I don’t give it to you, you would harm her instead?"
"You know it well in your heart!"
"Honestly, you’re a disgrace as a mother!" Ye Xunhuan’s voice suddenly changed, becoming extremely sharp: "You are utterly unworthy of being a mother!"
"You betrayed the He family, almost wiped them out, abandoned your husband and daughter, and now you want to exploit your daughter. People like you don’t deserve to live even a million times over!"
