Chapter 344: The Human Skin Mask is Discovered

"What's wrong? Something on your mind?"

Yan Yufan joked, "I think you're the one with something on your mind. You didn't close your mouth at all last night. Do you want me to repeat what you said to you?"

Knowing that she had a habit of exaggerating when drunk, Song Miqiu, realizing she was in the wrong, tried to change the subject.

"Thank you so much for last night. I truly want to express my gratitude to you. I really mean it."

"Alright, I'll let it slide since you're so sincere."

With Song Miqiu right in front of her, Yan Yufan decided to test her.

"It was only after last night that I realized Miss Song is no ordinary person. How come I didn't notice it before?"

Song Miqiu was so focused on eating that she didn't think much about what was wrong with Yan Yufan's words.

"You only just realized it now? You only realized how beautiful I am now?"

Seeing that Song Miqiu didn't bring up the human skin mask, Yan Yufan went further and made it even more obvious.

Sometimes I wonder if you have two masks.

"Ha ha ha ha."

What are you talking about?

While they were talking, Song Miqiu had already finished drinking all the hangover soup.

She stretched and stood up. "It's getting late, I should head back."

The mere mention of going back reminded Song Miqiu of what had happened yesterday, and she was instantly filled with rage.

"Why don't you rest a little longer?"

"No, I should go."

As he spoke, his expression turned serious.

Yan Yufan became cautious, thinking that Song Miqiu had understood his hint and was angry.

"How about I give you a ride?"

The tone also became more tactful.

"Need not."

When Song Miqiu stood up to leave, she saw the expression on Yan Yufan's face and quickly explained.

"I was in a hurry to go back because there were still some things to take care of at the Imperial Hospital. Don't overthink it."

And so they said goodbye to Yan Yufan.

After seeing Song Miqiu enter the room last night, the bodyguard returned home and told Yu Huailin everything he had seen while following her.

"Okay, I understand. You can go now."

Yu Huailin arrived at the restaurant that very night.

I witnessed firsthand everything Yan Yufan did to Song Miqiu.

However, since he couldn't go to take care of Song Miqiu himself, he silently stayed outside the restaurant all night.

He then watched as Yan Yufan escorted Song Miqiu to the entrance of the restaurant.

Judging from the way they were talking, their relationship must be quite close.

After the two left, Yu Huailin emerged from the corner.

However, Liu Xiaoyue, who was out shopping, spotted them.

Overjoyed, Liu Xiaoyue rushed to Yu Huailin's side, grabbing his sleeve as if afraid he would disappear at any moment.

When Yu Huailin turned around and saw that it was Liu Xiaoyue, he was furious and threw her to the ground, which attracted the attention of many people.

"Yu Huailin, why are you treating me like this? Can't you even look at me properly?"

Liu Xiaoyue screamed, making a huge noise.

Yu Huailin knew that Song Miqiu hadn't gone far and was afraid that such a sound would attract her attention.

Disregarding his own dignity in the crowd, he grabbed Liu Xiaoyue's other hand, covered her mouth, and dragged her into a side alley.

Liu Xiaoyue knew that Yu Huailin did all this for that little bitch Song Miqiu.

She broke free from him and said, "Do you like her that much? What does she have that I don't?"

Yu Huailin ignored her completely, turned around and was about to leave without any hesitation.

Liu Xiaoyue still refused to give up and chased after Yu Huailin again, blocking his way and listing all of Song Miqiu's faults.

"How could a woman like her possibly be worthy of you? Only I am the most suitable for you."

"You fall in love with every woman you see. Just last night, that old woman hooked up with a man. You didn't know that, did you?"

"This is her true face. Don't be fooled by her. Besides, she's so old and her husband is dead. She even has grandchildren in the afterlife. A woman like that isn't even worthy of shining your shoes. Do you know that?"

"Who knows? Maybe she cursed her husband to death. Such a lowly fate."

Unable to bear it any longer, Yu Huailin grabbed Liu Xiaoyue by the neck and slammed her against the wall.

"If you dare say another bad word about her, I'll kill you right here today, believe it or not."

With her small frame, Liu Xiaoyue was no match for Yu Huailin.

Soon he couldn't breathe properly and struggled desperately.

But now, with red eyes, Yu Huailin seemed unable to hear anything, his anger simmering with nowhere to go.

"Did you hear that? If this happens again, today will be your last day."

Liu Xiaoyue's eyes filled with tears because she couldn't breathe properly, and even her nose started to run.

"Save me, save me."

He could only beg for mercy in a hoarse voice.

Fortunately, Yu Huailin regained his senses at the last moment.

Seeing Liu Xiaoyue begging for mercy, she released her grip on her neck.

Liu Xiaoyue stood opposite Yu Huailin, trembling with fear. She had almost been strangled to death.

Yu Huailin looked at Liu Xiaoyue, who was in great pain, but his expression remained unchanged. Even if Liu Xiaoyue died here now, he probably wouldn't shed a single tear.

Liu Xiaoyue collapsed to the ground, and only slowly came to her senses after Yu Huailin's figure disappeared into the street, but she was still trembling uncontrollably.

Taking deep breaths of fresh air, Liu Xiaoyue stumbled home.

I developed a high fever as soon as I got home and lay down.

Only Liu's mother was left at home. She was already in poor health, and who knew that her daughter would lie in bed as soon as she got home, and had a high fever and was talking nonsense.

"Oh dear, what happened this time? Why did my poor child come back with a high fever?"

Liu's mother, trembling, leaned on her cane and went to the pharmacy to buy medicine.

I was already out of breath just on the way back from buying the medicine.

"My daughter, get well soon."

After feeding Liu Xiaoyue the medicine, Liu's mother went to cook rice for her.

All of this was originally done by Liu Xiaoyue at home; she was the sole breadwinner of the family.

Liu Xiaoyue gradually regained consciousness in the evening.

"Mom, what time is it now? How long have I been asleep?"

Liu's mother was worried and heartbroken.

"Daughter, tell your mother quickly, who exactly did this to you?"

Finally, someone comforted her, and Liu Xiaoyue's tears fell unconsciously again.

"Mother!" She rushed into her mother's arms.

"It's all because of Yu Huailin, it's all because of him that I've gotten to where I am today."

Liu's mother could guess it at a glance.

He immediately started cursing and swearing.

"He's a real scoundrel. How could he be so heartless? He's a damn murderer."

It's just a matter of venting; there's nothing we can actually do about it in reality.

He hugged Liu Xiaoyue and her daughter and wept bitterly.
