"Sit on the sofa for a while!" Mu Beiting affectionately draped Ye Anxin’s shoulder, guiding her to sit on the sofa, quietly waiting for Pete to bring the person down.In no time, hurried footsteps echoed upstairs! Immediately after, Pete dashed down as fast as he could, anxiously saying, "President, Madam, Ruan Zhitong has escaped. We’ve searched everywhere upstairs, but couldn’t find her!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Beiting furrowed his brows, glanced at the butler, and asked coldly, "I ask you, when was the last time you saw that woman? Where did she go?"
The butler thought for a moment before responding hesitantly, "Before the villa was surrounded, Madam was still sitting with us having tea! Then she went upstairs! Later, the villa was completely surrounded! According to the timeline, she shouldn’t have left!"
Listening to the butler, Pete hurriedly instructed the bodyguard beside him, "The person outside who’s been secretly observing hasn’t reported her leaving either! This proves she’s definitely still here. Hurry up and search, if she’s not in the villa, she’s in the garden!"
"Yes!" At Pete’s command, the bodyguards who had come in with Mu Beiting rushed out together, starting to search for Ruan Zhitong’s whereabouts.
The servants at home stood trembling in the living room, not daring to take a deep breath, completely unaware of what exactly was happening!
Because the villa was too large, it took quite a bit of time to search every area thoroughly. When Pete brought Ruan Zhitong in from outside, half an hour had already passed!
At this moment, due to fleeing and avoiding Mu Beiting’s men, Ruan Zhitong’s face was slightly smudged with dirt, her hair somewhat disheveled! Though she appeared a bit haggard, her features identical to Ye Anxin’s were still clearly visible.
As soon as Ruan Zhitong appeared, the servants in the villa couldn’t help but gasp! They stared in disbelief, their gaze shifting back and forth between Ye Anxin and Ruan Zhitong.
What... what’s going on? How can there be two Madams? Which one is actually their Madam?
Pete dragged Ruan Zhitong toward Mu Beiting, forcefully tossing her to the ground, saying expressionlessly, "President, Madam, Ruan Zhitong is captured! Found her in a bush in the back garden!"
Thrown so unceremoniously by Pete, Ruan Zhitong’s petite body was completely unguarded, landing right at Mu Beiting’s feet!
Mu Beiting gazed down, coldly looking at the woman before him. His thin lips were tightly pressed into a line, his deep cheeks gleaming with a bloodthirsty light!
Ruan Zhitong’s gaze swept from Mu Beiting over to Ye Anxin!
Seeing Ye Anxin nestled like a bird in Mu Beiting’s arms, holding their child, she only felt a surge of irony! Her red lips curled, waves of laughter spilled from her lips!
"Ha ha... ha ha...!" The laugh grew louder, more unruly, until finally, her petite body began to tremble.
Everyone present was stunned by her laughter, converting chills down their spine, except for Mu Beiting, who still looked at her coldly, as though observing someone completely unrelated!
Ruan Zhitong laughed for a long time, releasing all her inner emotions. Laughing enough, she wiped the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes, self-mocking, "Mother and daughter, indeed mother and daughter, blood thicker than water! So different having one’s own mother holding you! Earlier when I held, no matter what tricks, what coaxing, she just didn’t want me! But with her own mother, they haven’t seen each other for over half a month, yet still so intimate!"
Ye Anxin tightly embraced her little Chu Yi, coldly retorting, "Of course! Chu Yi came from my body, this is a tie between mother and daughter, something irreplaceable by others! Despite looking the same, the feelings are different!"
"Ha ha!" Ruan Zhitong chuckled twice, calmly stating, "Since ancient times, the victor prevails over the defeated. I’ve painstakingly planned for over four years, yet in the end, it all went down the drain. Since I failed, I have no words! However, I’m baffled. I disguised so well, when did you start realizing I was fake?" With that, her bright eyes looked at Mu Beiting!
She couldn’t understand; she had become exactly like Ye Anxin! Even Ling Yueyue and Ye Mother Xiao Bai hadn’t noticed she was fake, when did Mu Beiting discover?
Unfortunately, Mu Beiting didn’t answer her; he only looked at her expressionlessly, his deep-set eyes revealing no emotional fluctuation.
Looking at Mu Beiting’s cold demeanor, and then at his cautious care and protection for Ye Anxin, Ruan Zhitong felt as if her heart had been torn into pieces, painfully.
Thinking of Ruan Zhitong’s deeds, Ye Anxin angrily said, "You think having a similar appearance is enough to deceive everyone? Yueyue and my mother didn’t find out you were fake only because they haven’t spent night after night with you, they didn’t have more time to discover! Xiao Bai is just six years old, a child so young might be sensible and mature, yet still innocent, not contemplating your malice or plots! As for Uncle, he and I have spent many nights together, whether you’re genuine or false, it isn’t about seeing, it’s about feeling! The love between Uncle and me isn’t as simple as you think, it’s communication at a spiritual level!"
"Ha ha... what a spiritual communication! Ha ha...!" Ruan Zhitong curled her lips to laugh again! Despite laughing, the tears couldn’t stop flowing down, sadly saying, "Ting, do you remember? Once, once we loved just like this! Once you betrayed the entire family for me! Why, why? Such intense emotions, you say forget and forget? Even over thirteen years, my feelings for you haven’t changed a bit, I even became like Ye Anxin for you! Yet you... why do you treat me this way? Why? I love you so much?"
Ruan Zhitong sobbed, her tears like stringless pearls, falling drop by drop! Adding another touch of pitiful helplessness to her already haggard appearance!
Unfortunately, to her display, Mu Beiting showed no reaction, his demeanor indifferent, without even the base sentiment of delicate compassion or pity!
Having heard Ruan Zhitong, Ye Anxin unconsciously glanced at Mu Beiting!
From Mu Beiting’s current expression, she couldn’t perceive any trace of past love for this woman!
It’s said that men find first loves unforgettable! Even over a lifetime, the place held by the first love in his heart remains irreplaceable!
