She was afraid that Ye Fan would be hurt, and she was afraid that Ye Fan no longer cared about herself in her heart.
Perhaps that is how life is.
Whether poor or rich. In sickness and in health, one always searches for the value of one's existence in the midst of endless tangles.
In the past, when Ye Fan was still the son-in-law of the Qiu family, what Qiu Mu Orange was worried about was only money and the future.
Now, what she once could not even dream of is within her reach.
But was she happy?
Not really.
Only because Ye Fan did not give her the companionship and protection she wanted.
Every stage has its own contradictions and worries.
The rich and powerful are not happy.
Those who are ordinary are not all sad.
Only those who are content can always be happy.
Just like Qiu Mu Orange today, even if she has millions of dollars. But what she wants more than anything else is Ye Fan's care and love.
But career and love, how can you have it both ways?
In the past, Ye Fan put almost all his time and energy into Qiu Mu Orange, but how many people cherished the results?
Now Ye Fan has risen from the comet and is in charge of Jiangdong.
He has given Qiu Mu Orange glory and wealth, but he is not destined to give her the companionship and care she wants.
There are many truths that can only be understood after experience.
If time could be reopened, Qiu Mu Orange would rather Ye Fan had remained the little superfluous son-in-law of the Qiu family.
Perhaps ordinary, perhaps unnoticeable.
But after experiencing thousands of ups and downs, Qiu Mu Orange realized that the greatest happiness was to be ordinary and uneventful.
Several times, Qiu advised Ye Fan to let go of his present prosperity and live peacefully with her in the old days.
But even though she said so, Qiu Mu Orange herself knew very well.
How easy is it to retire?
There are some positions that once you sit on them, you can never get off them again.
As the saying goes, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop.
The once peaceful and uneventful life can never be returned.
The young man who was full of her eyes was also destined to never be there again.
Without realising it, tears were falling down her face.
Qiu Mu Orange didn't know why she was crying.
Perhaps, it was because of regret.
Regret that she had been so impatient with Ye Fan when he was ordinary.
She regretted that she hadn't cherished him during their most peaceful and calm years.
More so, he regretted that he had wanted so desperately to get ahead.
If it wasn't for her, Ye Fan wouldn't have founded the Mufan Group, let alone become Mr. Jiangdong Chu.
Then their calm and peaceful life would not have been shattered again and again like this, right?
"What?"
"It looks like you also think he won't come, right?"
Seeing Qiu Mu Orange's tearful face, Meng Wangyu, who was at the side, burst into laughter.
That laugh was tinged with a bit of ridicule and coldness.
"The most desperate man's heart."
"In this world, the most cold-hearted thing is just the heart of a man."
"I have seen too many heartless men."
"You have been with him for ten years, and on the day of his success, it is another woman who is snuggled up in her arms."
"Sometimes I don't understand how history and reality have taught us so many lessons, and yet you silly women continue to flutter to the flame and give them your hearts?"
"And they're worthy?"
"Angie is, and so are you!"
"And shed tears?"
"Who are you crying for?"
"To those heartless men?"
"Don't worry, even if they see it, they won't feel any guilt or guilt, but it will make them look down on you and think you can't leave them."
"You treat him with your heart, but his heart is as hard as iron."
Meng Wangyu didn't know where the anger came from, her words were like swords, every sentence stabbing the heart, every word piercing the bone.
Meng Wangyu's words undoubtedly made Qiu Mu Orange, even more uncomfortable, her heart like a knife.
"Shut up, I forbid you to say that about him~"
"Ye Fan, he's not this kind of person."
"He's not~"
Qiu Mu Orange said with tears streaming down her face, shaking her head uncontrollably.
"By now, you still haven't died?"
"Still have expectations for him, heart and soul?"
Meng Evening Yu was instantly exasperated.
"If he is really a man of love and righteousness, how could he see you in deep danger but without a trace?"
"If he had you in his heart, why would he be in a foreign land, messing around with flowers and having an affair with other people?"
"If he were not a man of weak love, why would he have left you here for three days to suffer and not come to your rescue?"
"Wake up, you."
"In the hearts of these men, we women are just like clothes."
"If you had died, they would have been able to find new lovers."
"And you, a silly woman, are still here with your love for him and your heart for him?"
"No man in the world can be trusted, they all deserve death by a thousand cuts!"
Meng Wangyu said angrily, her words filled with hostility and resentment towards men.
From her childhood experiences and the indoctrination of some extreme ideas on the internet, Meng has long since developed the obsession of not getting married, not having children and not falling in love.
This, coupled with the fact that her best sister An Qi was treated as a sacrificial lamb for their father and brother's family interests, and now Ye Fan's thin-skinned love, had undoubtedly made Meng Evening Yu hate men even more.
"You shut up!"
"You're talking nonsense~"
"I believe in Ye Fan, he's not this kind of person."
"If he knew I was in danger, he would have come to save me."
Qiu Mu Orange still didn't want to believe it and shouted hard.
"In that case, let's wait and see."
"Let's see if the man you're waiting for will come or not?"
Meng Wangyu snorted coldly, but no more words were spoken.
Just like this, time continued to pass.
As I watched, there was only one hour left until twelve midnight.
Once midnight passed, the three-day limit would be reached.
"It looks like Mr. Chu is not going to arrive."
"I just pity the girl."
"A flowery girl, but she will eventually die."
On the shore of the cloudy lake, someone sighed long and hard.
"That's right~"
"What kind of bullshit Mr. Chu?"
"Now it seems to be a scum."
"His own wife was kidnapped for three days and he didn't care?"
"A man who is thin-skinned and unrighteous is still disgraceful even if he becomes the lord of this world~"
....
"What a disgrace to the people of Jiangdong!"
"How can such a heartless man be worthy of leading my Jiangdong?"
....
Among the crowd, many people cursed, their hearts filled with discontent for Qiu Mu Orange.
"I've already said that this Ye Fan won't come."
"Now that he's famous, what kind of woman can't he find?"
"Maybe he'd like to have his wife killed."
"In that case, it would be better for him to take another wife openly?"
On the shores of the lake, those Jiangbei martial artists who had come from the land of Jiangbei to watch the fun were arching fire from it.
They might not be able to defeat Ye Fan, but they could, to make that vertical son lose his reputation, to relieve their hatred.
"Bastard~"
"Ye Fan, that ungrateful brute."
"I told you a long time ago that our family Mu Orange will not be able to enjoy the blessings of following that bastard."
"That God damned bastard~"
"When he was in his infancy, it was my Mu Orange who never gave up on her."
"Now that he's become rich, he's going to abandon her and put the life and death of our Mu Orange at risk."
"Such a heartless man deserves death by a thousand cuts~"
"In the first place, I shouldn't have backed off, I should have forced Mu Orange to divorce him by dying."
Listening to the voices of discussion around them, the two of them, Han Li and her husband, were also getting colder and colder.
Even Su Xi did not expect that Ye Fan would really be so desperate.
At this moment, public opinion was already lopsided, and everywhere you looked, there was a lot of verbal criticism of Ye Fan.
After today, the so-called Jiangdong Mr. Chu would undoubtedly become a laughing stock and be disliked by everyone in the world.
"Miss Xu, should we make a move to save him?"
Not far away, in an unnoticed corner, Xu Lei watched from afar, and behind her were Copper Mountain, Qingtan and a host of other martial artists.
Realising that the three-day limit was approaching, Copper Hill and the others immediately asked anxiously.
However, Xu Lei shook her head, "Wait a little longer."
Xu Lei looked into the distance with determination in her eyes.
It was only because she believed that the young man, would definitely come.
He might be late, but he was never absent!
