“You are asking me whether I understand Su Yanyan’s character?” Su Wanwan sneered as she met Su Yuntang’s furious gaze. “Does this make her a frivolous woman then? Imagine if people found out that Director Su’s precious second daughter likes sharing her private moments with others. Would they think she was really desperate, or that she’s a complete psychopath? Even if she is not ashamed of herself, I feel sick just looking at these!”

Jiang Yi hurriedly picked up the pictures from the ground as she explained, “Wanwan, these pictures were all secretly taken by reporters. Yanyan does not know anything about these at all, she is just a victim in this situation. Why would she want to send this kind of photos to anyone-”

“You don’t have to explain anything to her,” Su Yuntang interrupted his wife impatiently. “Yuyun and Yanyan are happy, and the Xing family has already accepted their engagement. What’s done is done and no one else can mess it up! These photos should be destroyed immediately.”

He looked at Su Wanwan and said icily, “As for you… Go back to Los Angeles immediately!”

Su Wanwan could not help but scoff.

He might be her father, but he was biased to the extreme! She was clearly the victim in this matter, and even had solid evidence, but her father chose to side with his other precious daughter instead.

“Did you hear what I said?” Su Yuntang roared.

Su Wanwan did not reply, looking past the people before her to a familiar figure.

Xing Yuyun was standing there in dark blue silk pyjamas, looking charismatic and handsome. She did not know when he had appeared.

His hair was dripping wet after a shower, and water droplets rolled down the side of his face. She could see red marks on his face which were obviously scratch marks left behind by someone.

This was the fiancée that her grandfather had arranged for her in a marriage contract two years ago, who was now engaged to her step-sister.

Su Wanwan felt nauseous just thinking about it!

“I feel dirty just by looking at such a shameless person!” Su Wanwan narrowed her eyes at Su Yanyan, then said sardonically, “If he did this once, then he can definitely do it again. I advise you to keep him on a tight leash in the future, or else your dog will be lured away by meat elsewhere.”

After that, Su Wanwan turned around and left.

Jiang Yi called out, “Wanwan!”

“Let her leave!” Su Yuntang was so angry his face was flushed red. “Just ignore her! She’s dead to me anyway”

Jiang Yi turned around to calm Su Yuntang down, and only then noticed Xing Yuyun standing at the corridor in the back.

His face was ashen. He had obviously heard everything that Su Wanwan said just now.

Su Yanyan walked over to him quickly. “Brother Yun, you-”

Xing Yuyun turned around and went back into the room without saying anything.

…

The room was still very messy.

Xing Yuyun immediately started to change his clothes after entering the room.

Su Yanyan waited for him to acknowledge her, but he studiously ignored her so she was forced to approach him herself.

She had known that Su Wanwan had booked a plane ticket back to China today, which was why she had invited Xing Yuyun to their house today. She had even put a little medicine in his red wine during dinner, and had thought of all the possible ways to get Su Wanwan to witness everything for herself and give up on him completely.

Now, she finally got what she wanted. She had been suffering for half a year, but now, she finally did what she set out to do.

Su Yanyan felt very anxious. Who knew what would happen now-

“Ah!” She suddenly felt a sharp pain.

Xing Yuyun was gripping her wrist tightly. His handsome face which had always been very gentle looked impossibly cold.

Su Yanyan looked at him fearfully, wincing at the pain in her wrist. She had known him for so long, but this was the first time she had ever seen this expression on Xing Yuyun’s face.

She asked in a soft voice, “Brother Yun, what’s wrong? You are holding my wrist too tightly, it hurts-”

“Why did Su Wanwan suddenly return to China?” Xing Yuyun asked directly, looking right into Su Yanyan’s eyes.

“I don’t know.” Su Yanyan pretended to be innocent as she whimpered, “She slapped my face twice and even pushed me down to the ground earlier. My face is still hurting and I think I sprained my foot.”

“Is that so?” Xing Yuyun sneered, “What about those pictures that were on the ground just now then?”

Did he see those pictures too?

Su Yanyan became flustered and tried to explain herself, “I… I did not know how to explain our relationship to her, so I secretly took those pictures. However, I sent them out by accident. I really did not mean to do it, who knew-”

“Do I look like a fool to you? Do you really think I’ll believe such a lame excuse?” Xing Yuyun scoffed, pulling his hand back sharply.

Su Yanyan tumbled to the ground. Before she could react, the man had already finished changing his clothes and walked out.

**

The Huo family villa, Nanchang X District Compound.

Nangong Ci stopped the sports car before he smiled and said, “Second brother invited us to play cards at his place tomorrow.”

“I have something on tomorrow,” Huo Jingshen replied tonelessly.

“Second brother said that you have to be there because he’s arranged for some prominent people to be there too. He said that there has to be more men there-”

At that moment, an unfamiliar ringtone started playing.

“Woof!” KO suddenly pulled a cell phone out from under the car seat.

Huo Jingshen picked it up, frowning. The phone casing was pink, and the device looked small in the man’s huge palm.

After glancing at the screen, Huo Jingshen answered the call. “Hello.”

“Who are you? Why are you answering Wanwan’s phone?”

Compared to the tense voice on on the other end of the line, Huo Jingshen’s tone was calm as he replied, “I am Huo Jingshen.”

“… Elder brother?”
