Chapter 166 -166: Refuse to Help in a Life-and-death Situation

She wondered, “Wasn’t Ye Sihan in a meeting? Why was he staring at her all the time? When did he start watching her?”

He was like a hidden danger lurking in the darkness, undetectable and even causing a sense of panic and confusion.

As she was caught up in her wild thoughts, she felt the oppressive presence behind her drawing nearer and couldn’t help but turn around.

Ye Sihan’s shadow loomed over her face, making her breath catch, and she asked, “Is the video meeting over?”

“Yeah.”

“Just now… who called you? Did something come up from my dad’s side?”

Ye Sihan didn’t speak, his eyes deep as an abyss gazing down at her.

Tang Yu nodded, “Right, it shouldn’t be that fast.”

“If he’s dead, would you want to go?” Ye Sihan asked.

Tang Yu hesitated, then asked after a long while, “…Would you let me go?”

“I could.”

Tang Yu was surprised at how agreeable Ye Sihan was, “Why… would you agree?” she asked. As she spoke, the figure before her moved closer, making her instinctively step back until her back was pressed against the railing, “You… ”

“He’s just missing for now. After we find him, we’ll see if he is dead or alive,” Ye Sihan said.

Tang Yu thought that this was not what Tang Yifei had said.

The man wasn’t dead; he was just missing.

He was likely in hiding.

The breath from mere inches away fanned her face, and Tang Yu uncomfortably pushed at his chest with her hands, only to be met with a solid touch, “Don’t get so close to me… mhm!”

Before she could finish speaking, her lips were suddenly seized in a kiss.

When she realized what was happening and tried to push him away with force, Ye Sihan pressed his entire body against her, trapping her between him and the railing so tightly that not even a breath of air could pass.

“Mmm…” The fingers placed on his chest involuntarily clenched, and Tang Yu was gasping for breath.

Seeing she was having difficulty breathing, Ye Sihan wrapped an arm around her waist, kissing her lightly so she could catch a breath of oxygen.

In his narrowed eyes, a deep understanding, was reflected Tang Yu’s appearance, her complexion kissed into a blushing white, her long eyelashes trembling, and a frail helplessness that she could not bear.

Ye Sihan hadn’t revealed anything about Yu Zhaohui’s kidnapping, nor would he allow anyone else to.

If the person indeed ended up dead, he would perhaps send a wreath.

Even if Tang Yu found out later, it would only be after she had given birth to the child.

Last night the four little ones didn’t come, and it wasn’t possible for them to come every day, as that would be abnormal.

More importantly, Tang Yu had another concern. Why hadn’t Yu Zhaohui called?

When Ye Sihan went to the study, Tang Yu prepared to grab her phone and call.

But just as she was about to dial, a text message came in.

Yu Zhaohui: He’s missing.

Tang Yu found it strange and messaged back: Is it inconvenient to call?

Yu Zhaohui: It’s inconvenient. Don’t worry about his business; I’ll let you know when we find him.

Tang Yu wasn’t suspicious because the information Yu Zhaohui had was the same as Ye Sihan’s, which showed that Tang Fulin indeed had gone missing.

Ultimately, if possible, Tang Yu still hoped that Tang Fulin hadn’t died, as he was her father after all.

But why couldn’t he change? He lacked any humanity.

In the study, Ye Sihan put down the phone he was holding. This phone was not the one he usually used; naturally, the number was different as well.

Since Yu Zhaohui had been kidnapped, her phone number was no longer necessary. With Ye Sihan’s capabilities, claiming it as his own was a piece of cake.

Just now, he had used Yu Zhaohui’s number to send the message to Tang Yu.

As for Tang Yu’s cell phone, he had set it to automatically block unfamiliar numbers.

The next afternoon, Tang Yu was in her room watching TV and enjoying her afternoon snack, while the maid stood guard in the outer hall to prevent any issues.

There was a knock at the door, and the maid went to open it—it was Uncle Wen.

Uncle Wen came in, “Miss Tang, the second madam has arrived. She would like to see you.”

Tang Yu was slightly stunned. The second madam? Lin Shuhuan.

What was she doing here?

Ever since that time she and Ye Sihan were invited out for a meal, there had been no contact.

“Understood,” Tang Yu said, continuing to sip the nutritious soup from her bowl.

Only after finishing the nutritional soup did she go downstairs, carefully attended by maids on either side.

The visitors were not only Lin Shuhuan but also Zhou Qinghua.

Zhou Qinghua’s heart surged with anger upon seeing Tang Yu descend the stairs and enter the hall late.

“Aunt Lin,” Tang Yu greeted politely, then sat on the sofa with the help of the maids.

“Carrying a child really makes you delicate, doesn’t it? Your stomach doesn’t even look that big!” Zhou Qinghua said. “And making us wait so long, Tang Yu, you’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?”

Tang Yu wasn’t the least bit angry as she looked at her.

“Even the maternity clothes you wear are designer labels others can’t beg for; being pregnant surely has its perks. Even without a formal status, you’re set for life. You should thank your fertile womb,” Zhou Qinghua continued mockingly.

“Such eloquence, it looks like you’re in high spirits due to good fortune; has the Zhou family’s crisis been resolved?” Tang Yu asked. “Otherwise, why would you spare the time to mock my pregnancy? Or why don’t you go and tell Ye Sihan not to bother about the child?”

Zhou Qinghua didn’t have the guts for that and suddenly found herself speechless.

Lin Shuhuan, who had been observing the scene, finally spoke up, “Qinghua, you are a guest.”

“I know.”

Lin Shuhuan looked at Tang Yu’s belly, “Five months along?”

“Yes,” Tang Yu replied, thinking to herself that Ye Sihan probably knew whether it was a boy or a girl.

Anyway, whether it was a boy or a girl, she considered her mission accomplished.

So, there was no need to ask.

“What’s the use of having a girl? You naturally want a boy,” Zhou Qinghua scoffed. “If you have a daughter, half of your wealth is gone.”

“Indeed, having a girl is useless, as evidenced by you,” Tang Yu retorted calmly.

“You!” Zhou Qinghua’s face turned a shade of blue out of anger.

“Enough,” Lin Shuhuan cut in with an unhappy glance. “Did you come with me just to say these unpleasant things?”

“Sorry, Aunt Lin. Actually, I want to become good friends with Tang Yu,” Zhou Qinghua said insincerely.

“You two chat, I’ll be off to the restroom,” Lin Shuhuan stood up and headed to the restroom.

As Zhou Qinghua sipped her tea, her lifted gaze was fixed on Tang Yu across from her, acting as if the latter didn’t exist.

Holding her teacup, she squat down by the coffee table on Tang Yu’s side, “Are these snacks prepared especially for you? May I try some? After all, I’ll soon be carrying Yuli’s child.”

Deliberately ignoring her show-off intent, Tang Yu said, “If you want some, go ahead.”

Zhou Qinghua picked up a small biscuit to taste. “Delicious, you can’t find this outside!”

Tang Yu didn’t respond, as everything she consumed since her pregnancy had been custom-tailored for her.

Especially the food, which not only had to taste good but also could not contain anything unhealthy.

“You’re living such a comfortable life, yet you left your own mother, Yu Zhaohui, to die without lifting a finger to save her,” Zhou Qinghua said, purposely lowering her voice.
