Mr Fu, I Really Love You (Author: Thousand Birch Shedding, 千桦尽落 Book 2 COMPLETED

Chapter 1427: For Me, I Had No Choice

Just like that, Ye Qinghan opened more and more Venus beauty salons…

Ultimately, Ye Qinghan hired store managers to manage her stores. She used the beauty recipes that were passed down from her ancestors, as well as the skincare products that she had developed, together with beauty products to serve the consumers.

Su Manman sat in the lobby and didn’t enter the VIP room. She was afraid she would miss Ye Qinghan.

Su Manman didn’t expect that Ye Qinghan would personally come with the store manager to explain the new skincare products to her.

The instant Su Manman saw Ye Qinghan, tears welled up in her eyes.

She restrained her emotions and pretended to be calm. She forced a smile on her lips…

“Miss Su, nice to meet you… This is our Venus beauty salon’s founder…”

“I know!”

Before the manager could finish speaking, Su Manman interrupted him.

Su Manman stood up and looked at Ye Qinghan. “This is Madam Ye Qinghan, Sister Mingzhu’s mother!”

Ye Qinghan was a little surprised and looked at the stunning young lady in front of her.

For some reason, Ye Qinghan found the young lady before her familiar.

“Hello, Auntie. I’m Fu Manman… I once worked with Sister Mingzhu in ‘The World’!” Su Manman told Ye Qinghan her real name.

Ever since Jiang Mingzhu passed away, when Ye Qinghan missed her daughter, she would watch the television dramas that Jiang Mingzhu acted in.

She liked Jiang Mingzhu’s “The World” the most.

Just now, she felt that the young lady before her was so pretty that she seemed surreal. But now…

Ye Qinghan met Su Manman’s gaze again, and she immediately reacted. “You’re… the child actress that acted as little Su Qinghe?”

Su Manman smiled and nodded. “It’s me, Auntie!”

Ye Qinghan usually didn’t follow entertainment news, so she didn’t know that Su Manman was the woman who Meng Yuqiao had cried about in front of her—the woman who imitated Jiang Mingzhu.

Looking at Su Manman, Ye Qinghan couldn’t help but think of Jiang Mingzhu. The corners of her lips turned up, and the smile in her eyes carried a hint of sadness. “You’ve… grown up!”

Su Manman nodded.

“Aunt Xin…”

Before Su Manman could speak to Ye Qinghan, she heard Meng Yuqiao’s sweet voice from the door.

Ye Qinghan turned around and saw Meng Yuqiao walk into the room in a western dress and sunglasses. She was removing her mask…

Ye Qinghan couldn’t help but smile. “Why are you here on such a hot day?”

Meng Yuqiao smiled as she removed her sunglasses. She was surprised to see Su Manman standing opposite Ye Qinghan.

“Go get her a glass of warm water!” Ye Qinghan instructed one of the staff and said to Meng Yuqiao, “Give me a moment.”

Meng Yuqiao bit her lip and walked towards Su Manman.

Su Manman didn’t expect Meng Yujiao to come over today. She curled up the corners of her lips slightly, looking unconcerned. She only said to Ye Qinghan, “Is it convenient for you to introduce the new skincare product in the VIP room?”

“Of course!” Ye Qinghan nodded.

“Manman!” Meng Yuqiao called out to Su Manman first. She walked to Ye Qinghan and held her arm. She said to Su Manman, “This is Mingzhu’s mother, Ye Qinghan.”

Su Manman’s gaze swept over calmly, and her lazy voice carried a hint of coldness. “Sister Mingzhu once showed me a photo of her with Auntie. You don’t have to introduce her to me.”

Meng Yu’s fingers trembled slightly. Du Lingyang had never told her that Jiang Mingzhu knew Su Manman.

Dong Dong’s heart was also thumping. Did Su Manman really know Jiang Mingzhu?

Ye Qinghan could tell there was something wrong between the two ladies, and she immediately guessed that Su Manman was probably the girl Meng Yuqiao had accused of… imitating Jiang Mingzhu.

“Sorry for accusing you of imitating Mingzhu, but I just…”

“Don’t bother explaining it to me. After I exposed the truth, you just wanted to force your apology and explanations on me!” Su Manman’s lips curled up as she looked at Meng Yuqiao in a relaxed manner. Her beautiful eyes were so stunning it made one’s heart throb. “First, you used Jiang Mingzhu’s name to hype up yourself, and now, you’re using Auntie! Which sincere person would bring reporters along to apologize to their friend’s mother?”

Su Manman added in a mocking tone, “Having a brain is a good thing. I hope you have it!”

Meng Yuqiao tightened her grip on Ye Qinghan’s arm…

Seeing Su Manman’s unrestrained manner, Ye Qinghan subconsciously thought of Jiang Mingzhu.

Although Jiang Mingzhu always put up a gentle front in front of others, Ye Qinghan knew her daughter very well. Jiang Mingzhu was, in fact, reckless and arrogant.

Tears rolled down Meng Yuqiao’s cheeks. Ye Qinghan patted Meng Yuqiao’s hand as if comforting her. She was obviously biased towards Meng Yuqiao. “I was the one who asked the reporters to come. Yuqiao is Mingzhu’s friend. She was just too concerned about her. If what she did has offended Miss Su, I apologize on her behalf.”

Jiang Mingzhu clenched her fists. Her mother had always been arrogant, so why was she apologizing for another person?

She smiled and said to Ye Qinghan, “I don’t know if Meng Yuqiao is Jiang Mingzhu’s friend, but I only know… Jiang Mingzhu told me a lot of things about the friends around her, but she had never… ever mentioned the name Meng Yuqiao!”

Meng Yuqiao’s face turned pale…

Without giving Meng Yuqiao a chance to speak, Jiang Mingzhu said to Ye Qinghan, “Auntie, I actually came to look for you today! I have something to tell you!”

Ye Qinghan smiled gently. “Miss Su, you are greatly welcomed if you are here for beauty treatment, but if it’s about anything else, I’m sorry… I’m already old.”

Ye Qinghan’s gentle voice clearly carried a hint of rejection.

Jiang Mingzhu watched as her mother defended others but rejected her… She didn’t know what to feel.

But there were some things she had to tell Ye Qinghan.

She wanted Ye Qinghan to at least be wary of Meng Yuqiao. After all, Meng Yuqiao was Du Lingyang’s girlfriend.

In fact… Su Manman suspected Meng Yuqiao of pretending to be Jiang Mingzhu’s good friend and accompanied Ye Qinghan for a month because she was on a mission to find her father’s songwriting book.

Her father’s book was crucial because it would uncover Du Lingyang’s plagiarism if it was discovered. On top of that, if they were to find out that he had murdered Jiang Mingzhu…

Du Lingyang’s life would be over.

“Auntie.” Su Manman still looked calm and indifferent. She smiled and said to Ye Qinghan, “When Sister Mingzhu was hospitalized, she had woken up once. She asked me to tell you that the thing she’s most sorry about in her life is throwing the glass snowball you gave her when she quarreled with you. She kept the photo you had with her in her jewelry case and didn’t destroy it. She said she burned it to others simply to spite you…”

When Ye Qinghan heard this, she widened her eyes and looked at Su Manman.

The photo of the mother-and-daughter duo was accidentally discovered by Ye Qinghan in the jewelry case when she was missing her daughter!
