e a lion from the East River, "If you don't agree, I won't come down!"Zhong Yuxuan remained unmoved. "Then hang on, just don't complain to me later if your hands get sore.""......Ren Xiaoya instantly...When Yu again called, it was just as Late was about to pick up that a bodyguard stopped her. "Put it on speaker."

After that, he let go of her hand.

向晚 took a deep breath, trying to compose herself before pressing the answer button and putting it on speakerphone.

"Wanwan, why aren't you home Where did you go What about Taotao and those two people Did you get rid of them"

Towards Evening put her phone on her knee and rubbed her somewhat cold hands, "You asked so many questions all at once, how should I answer"

"Then tell me where you went Did you go see that old hag, Yao Shufen" Xiang Yu's voice was filled with anxiety.

A-Wan glanced at the bodyguards beside her. Seeing that they didn't react much, it seemed they were most likely not sent by Yao Shufen, but by that big shot instead.

"I'm not stupid, would I come to see Yao Shufen this late That's like a lamb walking into a tiger's mouth," Xiang Wan said.

"Where are you going"

"Even Yao Shufen is skilled, she can't compare to the Zhao family and the He family. I came to find my aunt for this, to make her pressure Yao Shufen to call those two people back. That's it. I'm almost there, so that's all."

Towards Evening worried about saying too much and raising his suspicion, she hung up the phone directly.

After a while, the car stopped at Xiang's villa.

A-chan got off the car, her bodyguards flanking her as they walked in together.

Before, she felt a sense of security with them around. But now, she only feels like she's standing naked in front of them, with no privacy whatsoever.

"You're finally back, I was so worried!" Xiang Yu came over and checked her up and down, left and right, making sure she was alright before he relaxed.

A-wei glanced around but didn't see Lin Na Lu. After a moment of hesitation, she asked, "Where's your sister-in-law"

"About the room. She said that you feel guilty seeing her now, and she feels guilty seeing you too. It's better not to see each other for a while, so as to avoid awkwardness when you do meet again."

When it came to this matter, Xiang Yu's face was clouded with worry. He took out a cigarette and lighter, but caught sight of Xiang Wan and put them away again.

Towards Evening's gaze fell on the half-empty cigarette pack, "When did you start smoking"

"These two days... I just wanted to feel comfortable in my heart." Xiang Yu was knocked unconscious by his bodyguard for a while, but the bloodshot eyes were still there, and the dark circles under his eyes were very heavy.

The siblings sat in the living room, looking much like they always did. But with Lin NaLu’s arm separating them, something was definitely different.

No matter what, Lin NaLu is a victim of Xiang Wan's misfortune.

"Sorry, brother." Xiang Wan said with her head down.

Xiang Yu looked annoyed. "I said this has nothing to do with you, why are you bringing it up again"

He paused, then looked at her sharply, "Wanwan, you mean that old hag is afraid of your mother"

Si Tu's heart was in a mess, and she didn't think about what he meant by asking that question. She just nodded.

"Wawa!" Xiang Yu stood up and quickly walked to her side, saying urgently, "You have a good relationship with your aunt. She's always liked you. You go and tell her to break that old hag's right arm, okay"

"!"

Xiang Wan didn't expect him to have this idea. She avoided his gaze, "The Jiang family has been bothering the He family endlessly recently. My aunt is very busy. We just asked her for a favor, so it's better not to bother her again."

She thought Xiang Yu would say a few more words, and she was just thinking about how to answer when she realized he had let go of her arm.

"Hmm."

Just this single character, nothing else said.

Towards the evening, she looked up and saw him take two steps back, widening the distance between them. He just stared at her, his eyes filled with a strange mix of sadness, disappointment, and pain.

She opened her mouth, wanting to defend herself, but found she had nothing to say.

Uncomfortable.

If he scolded her a couple of times, she could bear it in her heart, but he just remained silent, only looking at her.

"I'm going to the hospital to accompany Dad. I'll go to work early tomorrow morning. You stay at home and take good care of your sister-in-law." Xiang Yu picked up his coat from the hanger, put it on, and left.

向晚 watched him leave, following him to the door before realizing that a layer of white had already covered the ground.

The first snowfall of winter has arrived.

-

Yao Shufen's Villa.

As soon as Xiang Wan left, Jiang Qingran walked in.

In just a few days, she had lost a lot of weight and her complexion didn't look good.

She wore a camel-colored coat with tight jeans. At first glance, it looked alright, but upon closer inspection, one could see that the coat's wool was pilling severely, and the jeans were just ordinary market stall goods.

Grandpa Jiang has already been discharged from the hospital and is out of danger. He hasn't let her off the hook at all, blocking all her escape routes and forcing her to go on blind dates.

"Once Xiangwan has confronted Hanchuan, the bodyguard will leave for half an hour. That's the longest time I could get you." Yao Shufen said.

Jiang Qingran sat on the sofa and poured himself a cup of tea, "I understand exactly why you're doing this. We at most have a mutually beneficial relationship, you don't need to act like you're giving me charity."

If she didn't want to go back and be controlled by her family, she wouldn't have chosen to cooperate with this old woman!

"I love how clever you are, little one. But tell me, with all your intelligence, how did you end up in this state" Yao Shufen giggled, covering her mouth.

Jiang Qingran raised an eyebrow slightly and stood up directly, "Since you have such a lack of sincerity in cooperation, then—goodbye. You can find someone else to cooperate with."

She didn't hesitate, got up and left, not at all like she was putting on a show.

Yao Shufen stood up and called out to her, "Just now I said to Xiang Wan that you weren't as temperamental as her! Okay, I was wrong. I apologize. Let's sit down and talk properly, is that alright"

"If you want to have a good talk, don't say those ambiguous things." Jiang Qingran sat back on the sofa.

Cui Jun ordered the servants to bring fresh fruit and snacks, placing them before her.

"Actually, with your capabilities, even if you go back to the Jiang family for an arranged marriage, you could still find a way to make something of yourself. Even if you don't want to go back to the Jiang family, many young masters are interested in you, like Runze, who is also a good choice. Why would you choose to cooperate with me" Yao Shufen asked.

Jiang Qingran raised her eyes, "It's just a cooperation, do you have to ask so many questions"

“Don’t be angry with me, I meant no harm. After all, what you did is to stake your entire life on it. No matter how you look at it, it’s not worth it. What if you have other thoughts and the whole plan is exposed The consequences are too great for me to bear.” Yao Shufen said softly.

"Because I have no future anymore," Jiang Qingran said after taking a bite of her snack, "Is that reason enough"

She would rather destroy herself than rely on those men she looks down upon!
