Xinghe couldn't help but feel sorry for Xia Meng. She felt compelled to help Xia Meng get away from this kind of person or she would be in hell after their memories were switched back.
To that effect, Xinghe was going to crush Ye Shen while she was still Xia Meng.
Xinghe stalled Ye Shen for about a week until Ye Shen's company couldn't hold on anymore.
To show his 'sincerity', Ye Shen had been bugging Xia Meng day after day, ignoring his business responsibility, but Xinghe showed no signs of softening her stance.
With candles burning on both ends, Ye Shen was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. His face became haggard and dark circles appeared under his eyes.
Mrs. Ye couldn't stand seeing her son like that anymore, so she took Ye Qin along to personally accost Xinghe.
She assumed, with her position as the mother-in-law, Xia Meng would bow down to her seniority and authority.
