After her short married life with Han Yize and being blacklisted by Top Tier Entertainment for breaking several of her contracts and endorsement, Ye Mingyu lived splendidly for the first few months. She spent the alimony money she received from Han Zijun and partied all night. She had thought that things were going well for her, not until the police came to her door and questioned her about Cai Lin's death.

Now that the news was out, everyone was hounding and criticizing her fiercely, the same way they did to Su Xiaofei when she set the latter up to bully her in public. Though Ye Mingyu liked being the center of everyone's attention, she couldn't stand being mocked and ridiculed by anyone. She detested it, especially those eyes that ridiculed her when she and her mother were as poor as a church mouse with nothing to eat.magic

Her lawyers couldn't bail her out and Ye Mingyu found herself spending time in a detention cell. It didn't matter if she had money, she didn't have any connections she could use to escape this predicament.

Ye Mingyu was waiting for her lawyer's return when the prison guard came and called her attention.

"You have a visitor." He said with displeasure, as if he wasn't pleased to be the one delivering her the news.

"Who?" Ye Mingyu rose a slender brow. Who would want to see her right now?It can't possibly be her ex-husband, right? She hadn't seen Han Zijun since their divorce was finalized. With no other choice, Ye Mingyu followed the guard who brought her to the visitation area. As soon as she saw who was waiting for her, her face scrunched into a deep scowl.

Feng Xue'er.

'What is this dumb woman doing here?' Ye Mingyu thought. Perhaps Feng Xue'er came to confront her to find out if she was really involved in Cai Lin's death. However, once she was seated, she could clearly see the expression of the other woman on the other side of the glass wall that was separating them.

Feng Xue'er's eyes were red, as if she had cried before she came to meet Ye Mingyu. She had this determined look on her face that Ye Mingyu couldn't comprehend.

"I knew you're the one who killed him, but how could you?" She sneered at her, eyes burning with hatred as she looked at Ye Mingyu. "Cai Lin really did love you."

"Xue'er, what are you talking about?" Ye Mingyu feigned innocence, allowing a few tears to roll down her cheeks. "I'm being framed here, Xue'er. I don't know who set me up for this, but I did nothing wrong!"

Feng Xue'er's eyes darkened. If there was no glass between them, she would have pounced on Ye Mingyu already and tear off her hair from her scalp.

"The person who put you behind the bars is none other than me." She spat venomously, liking how Ye Mingyu was stunned into silence, staring at her with widened eyes.

"What? You're easily ditching your pitiful acting now? Cai Lin was poisoned to death and there wasn't anyone around him vicious enough to do it but you! How could he know or suspect that you were trying to kill him?" Feng Xue'er chuckled, but her tone sounded like she was about to break down.

"It didn't matter that he lost his family's fortune. He worked hard and provided for you the whole time you were overseas, away from here. But why? Why would you do that to him? Cai Lin was willing to move heaven and earth just for you, but how did you repay him?"

"How is it my fault?" Ye Mingyu didn't bother to keep up her sweet, innocent appearance now. "I never ask him to do all of those anyway. He willingly did that on his own accord, no matter how I tried to persuade him to forget about me and move on. You should know him better, Feng Xue'er! Cai Lin had lost his mind after his family's downfall!"

Of course, Feng Xue'er knew that. She knew that Cai Lin had dramatically changed after his family lost everything and he fell from grace. He didn't have the face to see anyone, but he couldn't easily give up on Ye Mingyu too.

"It still isn't enough reason for you to kill him, Ye Mingyu." This time, Feng Xue'er didn't bother to stop her tears from flowing.

"You are such an idiot." Ye Mingyu sneered back. "You're still clinging on to the person who never bothered to acknowledge you even after his death? I haven't seen nor met anyone as foolish as you."

Feng Xue'er had no words to refute any of that, because she knew what Ye Mingyu said was right. If only she could teach her heart how to unlove a person, but this traitorous heart of hers won't even budge. Perhaps now that Cai Lin was dead and the person behind it was in prison, Feng Xue'er would finally be able to accept this closure and start anew in her life.

"I'll see to it that you would spend the rest of your life behind the bars. You better be prepared to burn all that money you got from your ex-husband," were Feng Xue'er's parting words before turning her back on Ye Mingyu.

She could hear Ye Mingyu cursing her behind her back but she ignored her. Once she stepped out of the room, her whole body trembled as if she lost her strength. A pair of arms held her, keeping her from falling on the cold floor.

When Feng Xue'er lifted her gaze, she saw that it was Su Xiaofei. She broke down in tears and clung to Su Xiaofei for support. She was the last person Feng Xue'er expected to see right now, but it didn't matter anymore. She didn't care anymore.

After all this time, she could finally grieve over Cai Lin's death and allow herself to heal from this nightmare.
