Translator: Atlas Studios      Editor: Atlas Studios

When they saw Xing Linlin’s reply and thought of the undeniable video and photographs, everyone felt uncomfortable. The group fell silent again. No one spoke.

Xing Linlin was so nervous that her palms were sweating, but she still did not understand what had happened. In the end, she had no choice but to contact someone she had a good relationship with and ask her out for coffee in the afternoon. However, the other party replied quickly, “You can ask someone else out. I don’t have time.”

When Xing Linlin saw the message on her phone, she thought that she was seeing things. In the past, when she wanted to get close to these rich heirs, she gave them expensive jewelry. Although they did not lack money, they enjoyed receiving gifts. Some of them from stricter families especially liked to hang out with Xing Linlin because Xing Linlin was very generous. For example, the one who had rejected Xing Linlin just now. She had never rejected Xing Linlin in the past.

Xing Linlin refused to believe it and sent another private message to another person. She tried four people in a row, and one of them even blocked her. The remaining few did not reply to her message. Xing Linlin had a feeling that something big had happened, but the most important thing now was to comfort Cheng Xingyang before dealing with this group of frenemies.

Xing Linlin put on a pitiful look, “I’m sorry, Xingyang. Should I not have been with you back then? It made our relationship awkward. Why don’t we split up for a while?” This was Xing Linlin•s favorite move—one step back today for two steps forward tomorrow.

Cheng Xingyang gritted his teeth. “I’m sorry, Linlin. I’ve let you suffer. I’ll buy you another house wherever you want.”

This was exactly what Xing Linlin wanted to hear. So what if the man was nice to her? Only ta_ngible items gave her the greatest sense of security. When she was young, she was too poor. Later on, after witnessing life of the rich, she realized how important money was. Be it Cheng Xingyang or Xing Zewu—she would hint to them indirectly—she had suffered too much in the past and did not want to suffer anymore.

As a man—once his male chauvinistic nature is at play—he would definitely satisfy all of Xing Linlin l s requests. Her clothes, shoes, bags, and jewelry were almost all paid by Xing Zewu. The place she lived and the luxury car she drove were all bought by Cheng Xingyang. Xing Linlin felt that Xing Shu was very stupid—after returning to the Xing family for so many years, she did not even get a decent house. Xing Linlin had always felt that her tactics were very brilliant, but tonight was the first time she had failed. She summarized the reason for her failure—Cheng Lang, the man standing at the top of the pyramid. As long as Cheng Lang had any pity for Xing Shu, Cheng Xingyang would have to act to Cheng Langs wishes. A trace of jealousy flashed across Xing Linlin i s eyes. If only Cheng Lang was on her side. She heard that he would occasionally go to Sunset Bar. It seemed like she had to try her luck there.

“No, don’t waste your money. Just drop me off at the intersection in front. I don’t want to stay in a hotel today. I’ll go and look up a friend,” Xing Linlin lowered her head and wiped her tears as she uttered the aggrieved words. That villa was the only property under her name. Now that she suddenly lost it, she could only stay in a hotel. As a member of the Cheng family, Cheng Xingyang could not bring Xing Linlin back to the Cheng residence.

Cheng Xingyang suddenly felt useless for making Xing Linlin suffer so much. “Be good, don’t cry. I’ll find you a new villa immediately. Go to a hotel today and make do with it.”

Xing Linlin said, “I’m  tired, Xingyang.”

These words pierced Cheng Xingyangs heart. He gripped the steering wheel tightly as guilt spread in his heart. If Xing Linlin was his fiancée, she definitely would not have to suffer this grievance.

Cheng Xingyang said, “I’m sorry, Linlin.”

Xing Linlin said, “It’s not your fault. I love you too much and am in this underground relationship willingly. But I do want to go to my friend’s place tonight.

Cheng Xingyang nodded and did not say anything else. He only hated Xing Shu even more in his heart. Before Xing Linlin got out of the car, he took gave her a credit card. “Here’s 10 million yuan. Take it as compensation.”

Xing Linlin said, “No, I can’t accept it.”

“Take it. That villa was yours to begin with. I’ll make it up to you later.” Cheng Xingyang left the credit card and drove away.

Xing Linlin lowered her head with a hint of satisfaction in her eves as she Dut the credit card in her pocket..
