Roses in Flames

When Ye Yuntang woke up, Xiao Lin was no longer by her side.

She sat up in bed, still a little dazed.

As I walked into the bathroom and turned on the tap to wash my hands, the scene from last night involuntarily came to mind.

Last night, when he carried her to the bathroom to wash her hands, he kissed every fingertip of hers.

When a tough guy has a soft side, he's really sexy and alluring.

Ye Yuntang stared at her fair and rosy face in the mirror for a while, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.

After washing up, Ye Yuntang came out of the bathroom and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

But they found that the man had cooked millet porridge, fried an egg, and prepared a cup of brown sugar water in a thermos.

Tsk, what a thoughtful and considerate man.

After breakfast, Ye Yuntang went to work, and she made a special trip to the criminal investigation office.

I didn't see Xiao Lin.

They had slept together in each other's arms last night, but when she woke up this morning and didn't see him, she felt a little strange and wanted to see him.

After searching around but not finding him, Cheng Lei told her that Xiao Lin was away on a business trip.

Ye Yuntang picked up her phone and glanced at it, but didn't see the message he had sent.

What a jerk! He's just someone you use and then discard.

He didn't even tell her he was going on a business trip.

Xiao Lin went to attend a joint investigation meeting on major cross-provincial criminal cases, and he was gone for a week.

During this time, Ye Yuntang did not contact him, and being the taciturn man he was, he naturally wouldn't take the initiative to contact her either.

It's Mr. Fu's 70th birthday this weekend.

After receiving the invitation from Old Master Fu, Ye Yuntang bought a gift and went to the Fu family manor.

She had been married to Fu Shili for two years, and Mr. Fu treated her quite well.

The lawn of the manor was filled with luxury cars of all colors.

After Ye Yuntang took out the invitation, he entered the banquet hall.

She wore a champagne gold dress today, which perfectly accentuated her shapely figure. Her long hair was styled in a bun, and she wore a diamond necklace that matched her earrings around her slender neck. Her makeup was bright and exquisite, and she exuded an aura of nobility and elegance.

Grandpa Fu usually enjoys calligraphy, so she gave him a set of the Four Treasures of the Study.

"Tangtang, the gift you gave is exactly what Grandpa wanted. Shili is still upstairs, go and call him."

Ye Yuntang nodded, "Okay."

She needs to talk to Fu Shili and ask him to find some time as soon as possible to tell the old man that they have divorced.

Ye Yuntang walked upstairs.

As she passed the study, she peeked through a slightly ajar crack and saw Fu Shili inside, along with his mother, Madam Fu.

Just as she was about to knock on the door, she heard Madam Fu say, "I have no objection to your divorce from Ye Yuntang. She's a forensic doctor and she's not good enough for you. But you got another woman pregnant. If your grandfather finds out, he'll definitely have something to say about it."

Fu Shili frowned. "Mom, Ye Yuntang refuses to have children. I don't want Fu Jingzhou, that illegitimate son, to give birth to the eldest grandson of the Fu family. I have no choice but to find a woman outside."

After a moment's thought, a ruthless glint flashed in Madam Fu's eyes. "To protect your reputation and the child in Bai Chuwei's belly, we have no choice but to sacrifice Ye Yuntang. Anyway, she took 100 million from you in the divorce, so she didn't lose out."

Fu Shili: "Mom, what are you trying to do?"

"Boss Wang of Hengsheng Building Materials lost his wife in middle age. He likes the type of Ye Yuntang. I'll find a way to get Ye Yuntang into Boss Wang's bed later. When everyone catches them in the act, you can take the opportunity to announce your divorce from her. That way, everyone will think that she was the one who cheated on you and betrayed your marriage."

Ye Yuntang felt a chill run through her body, and a sharp, cold glint flashed in her eyes.

You want to ruin her reputation, don't you?

Okay, come on, who's afraid of who!

……

Ye Yuntang went back downstairs and saw Bai Chuwei among the guests.

Bai Chuwei stood with a young woman of similar age.

Bai Chuwei wore a pink diamond necklace around her neck, the one she had seen in Fu Shili's car and thought was a gift from him.

Bai Chuwei has long, smooth, jet-black hair, almond-shaped eyes, and a delicate face, looking like a pure white flower untouched by the world.

It can easily arouse a man's protective instincts.

"Chuwei, look, Mr. Fu's ex-wife is looking at you. They're divorced, yet she still comes to Mr. Fu's birthday banquet. How shameless!" Bai Chuwei's best friend, Liu Qianqian, whispered in her ear.

Bai Chuwei also noticed Ye Yuntang's gaze. Ye Yuntang seemed to linger on the pink diamond necklace around her neck for a few seconds.

"Qianqian, don't say that. I think the old man likes her quite a bit."

Liu Qianqian looked at her with disdain, "I think she's just unwilling to accept her fate and wants to come to her ex-husband's house to flaunt her charms. Look at how big her breasts are, they must be silicone! Do you think she might try to climb the social ladder by hooking up with Old Master Fu?"

Bai Chuwei glared at Liu Qianqian, "She's a forensic doctor, dealing with corpses all day long. I bet even Grandpa Fu wouldn't think much of her."

"Yes, yes, people who deal with corpses all day long are just unlucky to look at."

Fu Shili and his wife came downstairs. Fu Shili glanced at Bai Chuwei and then his gaze fell on Ye Yuntang, who was wearing a champagne gold dress.

It must be admitted that Ye Yuntang has an impeccable appearance.

She stood there like a queen, captivating everyone's attention.

Madam Fu winked at Fu Shili, "Remember to do as I ask."

Fu Shili nodded, picked up a glass of wine, and walked towards Ye Yuntang.

In fact, he didn't want things to come to this point unless absolutely necessary.

As the young master of the Fu family, he couldn't ruin his reputation, so he had no choice but to sacrifice Ye Yuntang.

Anyway, she's just a forensic pathologist, she doesn't need to appear in public, and it won't affect the company's stock price.

If she could eventually become a couple with Boss Wang, it would actually be beneficial for her.

Although Mr. Wang is middle-aged and has lost his wife, he still has considerable assets and can still provide her with the life of a wealthy wife in the future.

"Yuntang, let's toast Grandpa together!" Fu Shili handed a glass of wine to Ye Yuntang.

Ye Yuntang nodded, a slight smile playing on her red lips, "Okay."

Out of the corner of his eye, Fu Shili saw Ye Yuntang hand him a glass of wine, which he then drank in one gulp.

Not long after finishing her drink, Ye Yuntang raised her fingers to rub her temples, her delicate eyebrows furrowing.

"Yuntang, are you feeling unwell? Shall I help you upstairs to rest?"

Ye Yuntang glanced at Fu Shili, then nodded. "Thank you for your help."

Madam Fu kept an eye on the two of them.

Seeing Ye Yuntang being helped upstairs by Fu Shili, a triumphant smile flashed in her eyes.

Ye Yuntang, you dared to take 100 million yuan from my son during the divorce, today I'm going to make you spit it all out!

When Grandpa Fu cut the cake, he didn't see Ye Yuntang. He looked around and asked, "Where's Tangtang?"

Mrs. Fu said with an embarrassed expression, "Dad, there's something I haven't told you yet. Yuntang has been having an affair for a long time. She and Mr. Wang from Hengsheng Building Materials went upstairs together not long ago. I suspect..."

Old Master Fu interrupted Madam Fu, his face ashen, "Don't gossip! Tangtang isn't that kind of person!"

"Dad, if you don't believe me, I'll take you upstairs to see for yourself."

Old Master Fu, leaning on his cane, followed Madam Fu upstairs.

As soon as the two went upstairs, the servants arranged by Madam Fu spread rumors that Ye Yuntang was having an affair upstairs.

The guests, eager to hear the gossip, all rushed upstairs.
