"What does this mean?" Jin Yan didn't reach out to take the USB drive.
"There's a video in it. After you watch it, you may understand what really happened." Xiao Yu reminded her indifferently, "It contains a piece of memory you've forgotten."
"How could I have forgotten anything?" Jin Yan's eyelid twitched involuntarily. The USB drive gave her a very bad feeling, so she pushed it back. "I don't need it."
Xiao Yu didn't move. His eyes swept over the USB drive and then stared at her coldly. "You must watch it. Then you can make a decision."
Due to Xiao Yu's insistence, Jin Yan had no choice but to pick up the USB drive on the table.
"Fine. Since you want me to watch it, I will." After putting away the USB drive, Jin Yan sneered. "You didn't just call me here to give me this, did you?"
"All your resentment towards Xiaoxi is in this USB drive. It's a lost piece of your memory, and..." Xiao Yu's expression was cold. "Given my character, if you really tried to harm Xiaoxi, I would never show mercy. Regarding the explosion the other day, I've found out that it was you who had someone give the factory pass to Xiaoxi, which allowed her to stay safe."
There was still a faint smile on Jin Yan's face.
"So, the reason I can still be here safely is because of your mercy?"
"I, Xiao Yu, always act fairly."
"Humph..." Jin Yan sneered. "You've said everything you wanted to say, right?"
"I've told you everything you need to know."
"In that case, I'll take my leave. I wish Mr. Xiao and Miss Ye a long and happy marriage!" With that, Jin Yan wheeled herself out of the private room.
"Miss Jin, I hope you'll do the right thing!" Xiao Yu called out to her back casually.
Jin Yan stiffened for a moment. Her hands involuntarily tightened on the wheelchair armrests. It took a long time for her to return to normal and leave the private room.
As soon as Jin Yan got home, her assistant handed her a stack of documents. "Miss Jin, I just received these. Please take a look."
After saying that, the assistant helped her take off her coat. But when hanging it up, something accidentally fell out of her pocket. The assistant searched carefully for a while and finally found it was a USB drive.
"Miss Jin, this is yours. Did you forget to take it out?" The assistant handed the USB drive to her.
Jin Yan stared at the USB drive for a while. This was what Xiao Yu wanted her to watch when she got home, but what could it be?
Frowning, she inserted the USB drive into the laptop in front of her.
After opening it, there was a video file. She frowned, wondering what the video could be. The next second, she clicked the play button with the mouse.
The picture was a bit blurry, but it was still clear that it was a surveillance video. The date was shown in the top - left corner.
Looking at the date and the picture, Jin Yan's face changed drastically.
This was the time when she had privately gone to find Leo for Xiao Yu. The elevator and the hotel corridor clearly recorded Leo hugging her intimately and groping her from time to time.
This was the memory Jin Yan least wanted to recall. Now, watching this video, all the details of that day clearly resurfaced in her mind, making her feel nauseous. Especially Leo's hands touching her body boldly.
After entering the hotel room, Jin Yan naturally remembered many things. She had hit her head at that time and had some memory gaps. But now, watching these videos, everything was connected.
Jin Yan took a deep breath to calm her emotions. She didn't know why Xiao Yu wanted her to watch these videos. These were all memories she least wanted to recall.
Next was the scene inside the hotel room. Seeing that the video on the player was still playing, Jin Yan gasped for breath and suddenly pulled out the USB drive, throwing it away in disgust.
No, she would rather never remember these memories!
The assistant was organizing the documents. Seeing Jin Yan's sudden change in complexion and rapid breathing, and looking at the thing she had thrown away, the assistant was a bit surprised. "Miss Jin, are you not feeling well?"
"I'm fine." Jin Yan replied coldly after calming down. The fragments in her mind couldn't be driven away no matter what. Xiao Yu might not understand why she hated Ye Yanxi. Even if he showed her these, so what? Jin Yan sneered. "By the way, could you leave for a while? I have something to deal with."
The assistant put down the documents in hand, glanced at her, and walked out consciously, closing the door behind.
After the sound of the assistant's footsteps seemed to fade away and Jin Yan was sure she was the only one there, she picked up the phone and dialed a number.
The other person answered the phone quickly. "Miss Jin, I knew I would receive your call. Happy cooperation!"
Jin Yan frowned, her eyes as cold as frost. "Don't act like you know me so well. I hate self - righteous people the most."
"Okay, okay. I guess Miss Jin must hate that woman named Ye Yanxi to the core now, right?"
"I can cooperate with you, but you have to do things according to my requirements. I want Ye Yanxi to experience the pain I've endured, but you must spare her life!"
Since she started teaching in the school, Jin Yan felt that she didn't hate Ye Yanxi as much as before. It was more of a feeling of unwillingness. So seeing Ye Yanxi so happy, she wanted Ye to feel the pain of being in hell.
The other person sneered. "Miss Jin, don't worry. All we want is for Mr. Xiao to be willing to cooperate with us. If he cooperates, we naturally won't harm his wife."
"Okay, it's a deal. I'll send you the information later."
"Then we'll have to trouble Miss Jin. We'll definitely satisfy you."
After hanging up the phone, Jin Yan's hands were slightly sweaty, but her eyes were still determined and cold.
The video Xiao Yu had just shown her had once again brought back her pain at that time, so she wouldn't let Ye Yanxi off easily.
Despite He Chuyan's obstruction, Shen Mianshu was still very efficient. He had already found a house for He Chuyan's parents and paid the full amount. They just needed to move in.
Originally, after the He couple sold their old house in their hometown, they could only afford a small three - bedroom apartment in the suburbs of City S at most. But Shen Mianshu had directly used that money to buy a duplex apartment in the city center. The area was naturally several times larger than the original one.
Moreover, Shen Mianshu even said that this apartment was bought with the money from selling their old house and that he definitely hadn't paid any extra money.
The duplex apartment was already decorated and fully equipped with household appliances. Shen Mianshu personally picked up the He couple and helped them carry their luggage back and forth. He was so attentive that he seemed like a part of the family. For a moment, the He couple felt a bit uneasy. They had thought they would have to go through a lot of trouble to find a house after coming here, but they didn't expect Shen Mianshu to have taken care of everything so considerately.
Finally, Shen Mianshu gave them the real estate certificate with their names on it and then left. The He couple had nothing to do for the moment, so they were sitting in the living room waiting for He Chuyan to come home from work.
He Chuyan received a call from her parents. After work, she rushed to the new residence in a hurry. As soon as she entered the door, He Chuyan was stunned.
The decoration of this house could only be described as luxurious. Everything was there, and the household appliances were top - notch. It was almost as good as the villa where Ye Yanxi was living now.
Finally, when the He couple saw He Chuyan come, they immediately pulled their daughter. "Yanyan, this house is so big and the decoration is so luxurious. Call Xiao Shen and ask him what's going on."
The He couple were just ordinary people. This was City S, and the housing prices were not cheap. Suddenly moving into such a luxurious house, they felt like they were dreaming. They were both shocked.
He Chuyan was in the real estate business, so she naturally understood the situation. Without hesitation, she called Shen Mianshu.
Shen Mianshu answered the phone right away and joked with a smile. "What's up? Do you miss me? Why did you suddenly call me?"
His lazy tone and his unserious way of speaking. Fortunately, He Chuyan was used to it, or she would have cursed at him long ago.
"I'm asking you, what's going on with this house?"
"I bought it with the money your parents got from selling their old house. What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
He even asked her back. There was a big problem, okay!
"Not to mention the decoration, just based on the location and the area, this house must cost more than the money from selling their old house, right?"
"Oh, well, it's a friend of mine's house. It belongs to his family. I asked for it, and he sold it to me at a low price." Shen Mianshu didn't take it seriously and continued smiling. "You can rest assured. I definitely didn't pay any extra money."
"Really?" He Chuyan asked suspiciously, unable to tell how much truth there was in Shen Mianshu's words.
"You want to thank me, right? Then treat me to dinner tonight!"
"In your dreams!" He Chuyan angrily hung up the phone.
If Shen Mianshu asked her to treat him to dinner, he must have set a trap for her.
The He parents were still waiting eagerly. After she hung up the phone, they asked worriedly, "What did Xiao Shen say?"
He Chuyan gave them a reassuring look. "Dad, Mom, you can just live here at ease from now on. This is our home."
"Can we really live here?" Mom He was still a bit worried.
"Yes!" He Chuyan smiled and led her to the sofa.
After staying at home for a while, He Chuyan suddenly remembered that it was the weekend, so Ye Yanxi should not be at school. So she called Ye to ask her out for shopping.
At the Xiao family's villa, Ye Yanxi was just at home reading books and was getting bored. Xiao Yu had gone to the company, and no one was with her. As soon as He Chuyan's call came, she happily answered it. After hanging up, she happily ran to the dressing room and soon changed her clothes.
The two soon met on a street they often went to and then strolled around.
During the stroll, He Chuyan also told Ye about the house.
Ye Yanxi looked at her depressed expression with a smile. "It seems that Big Brother Shen is about to melt your hard heart. So, aren't you going to accept him yet?"
He Chuyan pouted and answered insincerely, "It's still too early. What's there to talk about accepting?"
"You don't really think so in your heart. Come on, just keep being stubborn!"
"Who's being... Watch out!"
The two were just strolling along the road when a car quickly stopped by the roadside. The people in the car rushed straight towards Ye Yanxi. Just as they were about to grab Ye's arm, He Chuyan quickly pulled her away.
