Chapter 430: A Good Medicine
At this point, for her to be able to leave here smoothly was already a stroke of luck.
She hurried back to her room in haste.
After entering the room, she stood behind the door, gasping for air.
She went into the bathroom and checked her reflection to find that her right cheek had started to swell and redden.
Li Jingwen carefully took out some ointment and gently rubbed it onto her face.
These items were essentials and she would never be without them.
Because you never knew when Bai Ye might suddenly lose his temper, and by then, it would be unstoppable.
Bai Ye's unpredictability and fiery temper had been quietly endured by Li Jingwen over the years.
For Li Jingwen, there was never a suitable opportunity.
If there had been even a slight chance, she would never have resigned herself to be under that old man's thumb.
After coming out of the bathroom, Li Jingwen went back to her room.
She took out the mysterious box once more and caressed it in her hands, over and over.
The item was like a panacea which seemed to truly have a healing effect on her.
But if she actually took this step,
The consequences might be unimaginable.
Every time it came to this, to be honest, Li Jingwen was very worried.
Having struggled abroad for so many years, she did have some connections, but they were still weak.
And the old man had been toiling overseas for nearly 50 years; consider the difference between someone with 5 years and someone with 50 years of experience—how immense would it be?
Reason once again triumphed over impulse, and she carefully put the medicine back.
For Li Jingwen, today was destined to be a sleepless night.
She even began to miss the happy times she had spent with Lin Yi.
But unfortunately, back then she had only chased after fame and fortune, leaving Lin Yi alone in the city, resolute and changed.
Thinking back now, it indeed felt impulsive and she also had many regrets.
But what could such reflections change now?
After all, Lin Yi now had his own life, and to him, she was nothing more than a stranger.
Wang Sheng had been busy in the toy factory the whole day.
Today's work had progressed quite smoothly; with him personally supervising, the foundation work was indeed very solid.
When he left the factory, he glanced in that direction.
He noticed the lights were still on in the office area.
This indicated that Manager Zhang and Zhou Kongshan, along with a few others, were probably still there.
No matter how busy they were, what did it matter to him? He had no connection to it.
Right now, his sole focus was to build those houses well, as it was the core of the core.
After leaving the factory, Wang Sheng checked the time and, before he knew it, it was already 10 PM.
He wondered where Han Xuemei was at this moment—was she not resting and waiting for him?
Curious, Wang Sheng took out his phone and called her directly.
However, all he heard was the busy signal.
What was going on? Wang Sheng frowned.
Given Han Xuemei's current situation, there shouldn't be anyone in the city initiating contact with her.
After 10 minutes, he called again, but the line was still busy.
Could it really be that something is going on?
I had planned to go back and rest well today, after all, I've been tired all day.
But I just couldn't stop worrying about Han Xuemei, so I drove my car straight to the house in the suburbs.
Standing outside, I could see from afar that the lights were on inside,
proving that Han Xuemei was still at home at this moment.
But if she was at home, who could she have been on the phone with for so long?
I checked the time, and it had been a whole 40 minutes since I had called her.
I took out my phone and dialed again, but the busy signal was exactly the same.
A whole 40 minutes or even longer, who could this call be with?
I took out my keys and then entered the villa.
Afterward, I went straight to the room on the second floor.
Just as I arrived at the door, I could hear someone inside speaking in a hushed tone, as if they were constantly saying something.
But the soundproofing in the room was too good, so standing at the door I couldn't hear anything,
Luckily, I pushed the door open directly.
At this moment, Han Xue was wearing a nightgown, lounging on the couch.
She had a facial mask on her face, and she was holding a cell phone in her hand.
When she saw me enter, it was obvious that Han Xue looked somewhat flustered.
"Oh, OK, I have something here, I'll talk to you about it later."
While she was speaking, Han Xue hurriedly hung up the phone.
"You, weren't you not coming back tonight?"
"I've been calling you, look at how many missed calls you have."

As I spoke, my tone was somewhat unhappy.
"Really, you called?"
She asked curiously while taking her phone, only to discover that there indeed were three missed calls, and the total time span exceeded 40 minutes.
"I've been busy, and the call just kept going on."
"I'm asking you, who were you on the phone with?"
"With him."
"Him? Which him?"
"Who else could it be? Zhao Guangchen."
"What? Zhao Guangchen? You, why are you in contact with him again?"
I certainly hadn't expected this; after all, they had been together before.
And now, this Han Xue was supposed to belong to only me.
No matter what, her contacting that man behind my back made me feel uncomfortable.
"I'm doing it to pacify his mood. Besides, no one else's words can get through to him right now. I fear that only what I say can really reach his heart,"
"40 minutes, that's probably even longer, right?"
"Yes, it was a full hour and 20 minutes."
"My goodness, an hour and 20 minutes. What on earth were you talking to him about?"
"Of course, I was discussing the subsequent arrangements and plans with him, and then I gave him some earnest advice. I can feel that Zhao Guangchen now trusts me completely."
