Hunting for Love for 101 Times

Xia Nuan came back to Zhongshan City and visited Zeng Guihua.

Zhongshan City, which had green mountains and rivers, was totally different from Ye Sichen’s world.

Xia Nuan walked on the newly-paved concrete road. She looked around and felt a little unfamiliar. It seemed that she just woke up from a long dream.

And when the dream got to its end, it’s time for her to get back to reality.

Zeng Guihua was not aggressive anymore, instead, she totally changed her attitude to Xia Nuan. She held her daughter’s hands and kept venting her grievances.

According to Zeng Guihua, Xia Yan disregarded her illness and asked her out to work at that time. Xia Yan didn’t even serve her any water when she was in bed because of illness, and complained Zeng Guihua as her encumbrance.

“Nuan, you are the only one who loves me sincerely. Your sister only thinks about gambling when she has money. She doesn’t care about me at all. She deserves to be imprisoned with Ye Enchen in Country S. She always pressed you since she was bribed by Ye Enchen. I could do nothing to help you since she didn’t listen to me. She even beat and kicked me. Besides, she always took Hao home overnight…”

Zeng Guihua complained without stopping. Xia Nuan listened to her patiently and wiped tears for her.

“Don’t mention about the bygones. Now I’m back. I won’t leave you alone.” Xia Nuan took a warm towel to wipe Zeng Guihua’s hands again.

Zeng Guihua looked at Xia Nuan before she looked outside, “Didn’t Ye Sichen send you back? How long are you going to stay?”

Xia Nuan was upset to hear this, but she fought back tears. She pretended that nothing had happened and said slightly, “I’ll stay.”

“Aren’t you going to marry Ye Sichen? Aren’t you here to pick me up to attend your wedding in the international metropolis?” Zeng Guihua was confused.

Xia Nuan covered her sorrow and said, “That’s not true. We have nothing to do with it. I’m just a nanny who once worked for him.”

“But he cares about you very much…”

“Mom, I really have nothing to do with him. Please don’t mention about it.” Xia Nuan interrupted Zeng Guihua and forced a smile, “We are going to Aoshi City in two days. I’ll find a new job there.”

Aoshi City and Zhongshan City were separated by a sea. However, the two were totally different. Aoshi City was a bustling metropolis. It was as remote as Zhongshan City in the past. Thanks to its geographical location, it was transformed into an economic and trade export center by the government.

Aoshi City was becoming more and more prosperous. It gathered elites of all social circles, and now became a fast-paced city which was full of competitions and opportunities. Xia Nuan wanted to challenge herself in such an environment.

Zeng Guihua was embarrassed. She looked at Xia Nuan and wished to speak but stop on a second thought.

Xia Nuan was too focused on her work to notice that.

Zeng Guihua stopped Xia Nuan when she was going to cook, “But I have taken the money. Are you telling me to refund money now?”

Xia Nuan stopped, “What money?”

Zeng Guihua felt awkward to say it, “Knowing me as Ye Sichen’s mother-in-law, the fans from all directions came to find me for Ye Sichen’s signatures. I told them that would be 500 yuan for each, and they paid. But you have no relationship with him now. How can I get the signatures? How am I gonna handle my interview in local TV stations tomorrow?”

Xia Nuan frowned. She held her anger back and said, “Mom, refund all the money. You shouldn’t promise them things you are not capable of.”

“How can you ask me to refund it? It’s so embarrassing. Everyone knows that you are going to marry Ye Sichen. But now you tell me that you’ve already renounced your relationship with him. What am I gonna say to others? I can’t tell them Ye Sichen just played with your feelings.”

Zeng Guihua was unwilling to refund the money, “Shall you call Ye Sichen to send his signatures to you?”

“I don’t have his number and I won’t ask for him. You will embarrass yourself if you don’t refund the money.” Then Xia Nuan walked into the kitchen.

Zeng Guihua was helpless.

She could only refund money grudgingly when the fans asked for the signatures. She made an excuse that Ye Sichen was too busy to sign it.

The fans were so disappointed and then left Zhongshan City.

Zeng Guihua was not reconciled to mess up the sure thing. She went to the TV station secretly. Xia Nuan didn’t know about it until she saw her mom on TV. She talked about her daughter and Ye Sichen’s love stories, most of which were made up bombastically.

Xia Nuan was angry. She called the TV station to stop recording, but the latter didn’t care about her since the program attracted higher audience rating. They just continued the interview.

Ye Sichen almost lived in seclusion. He spent most of his time with the children. Sometimes, he would make a record with other musicians at the record room. There were also many well-known musicians or the ones who admired him came to visit him every day.

However, he would think of Xia Nuan in the villa of Feicheng City. In order to distract himself, he took the children back to the manor in Modu City.

He opened all the entertainment facilities in the manor to the public for free. It could contain thousands of people to play. Since then, the manor was always full of laughter. Everyone was happy in there. However, Ye Sichen still felt empty.

He sat in front of LCD TV and watched a local TV show.

It was an interview program, and the interviewee was Zeng Guihua.

“Mrs. Xia, can you guarantee that your daughter will be with Ye Sichen forever?”

“Of course, I promise. Ye Sichen and my daughter Xia Nuan will get married. He also said that he will build a castle for Xia Nuan and treats her like a princess.”

Zeng Guihua told a lie without hesitation. The audience and the host were very jealous.

“Such shameless mother and daughter are quite unique. They can do anything for speculation.”

Ye Ranni came to Ye Sichen and leant close to him.

Ye Sichen turned off the TV. He was in an extreme bad mood.

Ye Ranni continued, “Fortunately, you broke up with her timely. You should announce that you have nothing to do with her. In case she and her mom will swindle around through false pretenses.

Ye Sichen didn’t reply, “What are you doing here? What about your album?”

“Well, I come here specially for you. I want to cooperate with you formally.”

Ye Ranni was full of expectation for his answer.

“I’m recording another record these days. So, I don’t have time for our cooperation, sorry.” Ye Sichen said.

“Chen, why are you always so indifferent? Mom’s birthday is coming soon. We should give her a surprise. I am going to send her an album which I make with you as a birthday gift. She’s very sad because of what happened between you and Enchen last time. Don’t you think you should mend the relationship between you and her?”

Ye Sichen was silent for a moment. Then he said with a hoarse and low voice, “I can give her other stuffs as a gift. Don’t worry about it.”

“Chen, mom wants you to go back home. But she is embarrassed to say it. And you, you are too stubborn to follow her mind. In fact, she misses you very much but was afraid of being embarrassed. So, she didn’t come here to see you.” Ye Ranni looked at Ye Sichen sullenly, “No wonder Enchen said you are not mother’s son, maybe he is right.”

Ye Sichen frowned and looked at Ye Ranni.

Ye Ranni realized that she spilled the beans. Then she changed immediately, “He misled you since you always go your own way. I think you should change yourself.”

“You go back home first. I will visit her in the afternoon.” Ye Sichen said.

“Please consider about our cooperation. Qin Ruian and Luo’s Group always press you since you had terminated your agreement with him. You should fight back.” Then Ye Ranni left.

Luo Dai’er called Ye Sichen again.

“Ye Sichen, my mom is still under investigation now. They said again that the medicine has quality problems. I know you played dirty tricks on this. Please let my mom and Luo’s Group go. Think about your brother Ye Linshen. He needs the medicine from Luo’s Group or his illness would be more serious.” Luo Dai’er never expected that Ye Sichen was cruel enough to take Luo’s Group down. He even caught the soft spot so easily.

Was he a detective?

“Those are smuggled medicines and have great harm to human. I would rather stop Linshen from using it.” Ye Sichen said firmly. There was no room for negotiation.

Luo Dai’er pleaded with him, “Considering that I exposed Xia Nuan’s lie, please let my mother go. I can agree with all your demands. I promise you that I will not press you anymore…”

“What’s done is done. The only way to remedy your mistakes is to make it right. Moreover, I’m not capable to whitewash your mom and Luo’s Group’s crimes. I can just say, if you had known this day must come, you would have repented long since of your evildoings.” Ye Sichen said.

“Ye Sichen, you are sophisticated but not smart enough. I believe you will hit the skids one day.” Then Luo Dai’er hung up with anger.

In the afternoon, Ye Sichen came back Ye’s house.

He saw the servants walking in and out. Inside the house, he heard screeches time and again.
