CHAPTER 345: HAN BI’S SECRET

"When I rushed to that small hospital, Han Bi was crying so hard. I asked her how she had a miscarriage, and she said she and her boyfriend had a small argument. After her boyfriend left, she had a tantrum and slipped, and the baby was gone. I later found out that her boyfriend was Mr. Ye. Mr. Ye has always felt guilty for causing her miscarriage. He more or less knew about her apathetic ways in the entertainment industry. How could he not? He’s such a smart man. Because of the baby, Mr. Ye gave her so many chances. If Han Bi had listened just once, none of this would have happened. Actually, Mr. Ye wasn’t completely right, either. When I first took Han Bi on, she was a very pure and kind girl. She was so afraid of being poor and just wanted to make it and escape her past life. She was just a bit too competitive, but she had a good heart. Mr. Ye was too young then and didn’t know how to love. If he had protected her back then like he protects you now, they would probably have been a perfect couple."

The car started moving. Wen Nuan listened quietly as Cai Xiaojing talked about Han Bi and Ye Feimo’s past. She could understand how Han Bi felt back then. It was just like when her family went bankrupt. She was completely lost and just wanted to make money, get back her parents’ things, and let them leave that old, broken-down house.

"So why did Han Bi leave Feimo?" Wen Nuan asked. Ye Feimo was actually a very single-minded person. If he loved someone, he would be completely devoted to them unless they gave up on him first.

He had a strange personality. He was cold and very ruthless, but as long as you stayed by his side, he seemed to be able to tolerate a lot of things.

"After her miscarriage, she was angry with Mr. Ye for a while and wouldn’t see him. I hadn’t even met Mr. Ye at the time. It was later, when Mrs. Ye came to me and asked about Han Bi, that I took the initiative to tell her about the pregnancy and the miscarriage. Mrs. Ye is a very sharp woman. Anyone who lies to her will be exposed. I didn’t dare to lie and could only tell the truth. Mrs. Ye seemed quite surprised. She bought some supplements and came with me to see Han Bi. Han Bi was so grateful and flattered. When she found out that Mrs. Ye wouldn’t kick her out of Anning, she was even more appreciative. Later... Mrs. Ye gave Han Bi a lot of opportunities. At that time, she asked me to come up with a plan to market Han Bi. I thought she meant that this was Han Bi’s chance and that with Mrs. Ye supporting her, she would definitely have a successful career. At that time, she was recovering. She took on two or three endorsements and also filmed her masterpiece. I thought Han Bi had finally made it, but Mrs. Ye suddenly withdrew the funding. I was puzzled and asked her about it. She just smiled and told me to go back, saying that Anning was having some financial issues and we would talk about it later. I didn’t suspect anything. But a month later, something happened. Han Bi was caught with a director in a hotel room by Mrs. Ye. I heard Mr. Ye was also there. I guessed that Mrs. Ye had orchestrated it. Otherwise, how could Mr. Ye have been there by coincidence? But I don’t know the reason." Cai Xiaojing calmly recounted the events of that year. "This incident was not exposed. The news was suppressed by Anning, but there are no secrets in the industry. Many people knew about it, but they were afraid of Mrs. Ye and didn’t dare to say anything. Later, Mrs. Ye kicked Han Bi out of Anning, and she went to America with Linda."

"But why?" Wen Nuan was confused. "From what you’re saying, Mommy liked her. But why would she suddenly go after her? It was less than a year between her showing kindness after the miscarriage and her turning against her. Why would she change so fast? Did Han Bi do something to upset Mommy?"

"What could she have done to upset Mrs. Ye? Mrs. Ye is a very generous person. At that time, she knew about Han Bi and Mr. Ye and probably saw her as a future daughter-in-law. Otherwise, why would she support her? She is very lenient with her own people. I don’t know what Han Bi did. It might have something to do with Mr. Ye. Even Mr. Ye doesn’t know about this. How could we? The news was all sealed by the First Young Master Ye," Cai Xiaojing said with a smile. "It’s useless for you to ask Mr. Ye. He doesn’t even know. If he knew, he wouldn’t have thought about Han Bi for seven years."

"It sounds like Han Bi had a pretty bad time. But what did she do?" Wen Nuan racked her brain, but she couldn’t figure it out.

"After Han Bi and Mr. Ye broke up and she left, Mr. Ye was so miserable. He was in the hospital a few times for alcohol poisoning, and Mrs. Ye never mentioned this. It must be a secret. If you’re interested, you can go and ask her," Cai Xiaojing said playfully.

"Do you think I have the guts to do that?" Wen Nuan rolled her eyes.

Cai Xiaojing laughed. "That’s why I’m telling you, being a daughter-in-law in a rich family is not easy. You can argue with Mr. Ye all you want, but don’t go against your mother-in-law."

Wen Nuan stuck out her tongue. It sounded so scary.

"That’s all I know. I hope that after hearing this, you’ll feel better. Don’t be mad at Mr. Ye. He and Han Bi are truly in the past. Don’t worry about the baby. If Mr. Ye hadn’t used protection, he would have a bunch of kids by now. But none of them are calling him ’daddy,’ so don’t worry about it. Just pretend you don’t know about it," Cai Xiaojing said with a laugh.

Wen Nuan gave her a sideways glance. "If Director Lin hadn’t used protection, his kids would probably have already graduated from elementary school."

"Wrong!" Cai Xiaojing huffed coldly. "He was 13 when he first had sex. His kids would probably be graduating from college soon."

Wen Nuan was speechless.

*Okay, she was just trying to annoy me.*

"Wow, 13? How do you know?" Wen Nuan’s eyes widened. 13 was way too early. He was just in middle school.

"I just asked."

"Oh my god, you can ask that? I’m going to go ask Feimo when I get back," Wen Nuan said excitedly. She suddenly remembered something, and her smile froze.

Cai Xiaojing was quick to speak. "Don’t ask. You’ll just make yourself feel bad. His first woman was definitely Han Bi."

"I’ve already thought of that, thanks," Wen Nuan replied flatly. She instantly felt drained. Han Bi was his first love, and his first woman...

Cai Xiaojing shrugged, looking indifferent. "A woman who is a man’s first woman only gets pain. A woman who is a man’s last woman gets happiness. Do you understand?"

"I understand," Wen Nuan said weakly. Cai Xiaojing nodded. "Good. You’re teachable." Wen Nuan then said, "Why am I so easy to please? I got so mad over such a big deal, and my anger is already gone after one night? I must be Mother Mary reincarnated."

"It’s because you love him," Cai Xiaojing said with a faint smile. "I like that you’re so forgiving. Don’t argue with him when you get back. Lili will come to pick you up to go to the airport at 10 AM tomorrow. You should go home and pack your luggage."

"I know. I’ll talk to Lili later. Lili is so clumsy and doesn’t pay attention to details," Wen Nuan whispered, complaining about her assistant. She always messed up the small things.

"Do you want me to get you a new assistant?"

"No, I’m just saying. She’s really cute," Wen Nuan said with a smile.

Cai Xiaojing smiled. Wen Nuan was a kind girl who knew how to be forgiving.
