Soon, Xu Ke sensed sothing was off. How could there be any noise upstairs at this ti? Upstairs shouldn’t have such a noise now.
Xu Ke was about to get up to check but, at that mont, the staircase returned to its original silence.
After successfully slipping away, Tangtang and Guoguo went straight to visit their friend, Lin Yi’s family. This ti, they couldn’t miss the chance or allow Xu Ke to discover they had escaped, fearing it might cause trouble.
At that point, explaining to Xu Ke would be difficult.
The "SD" nightclub was bustling with bright lights and clamor.
"Madam, we’re here." Lin Yi snapped out of her thoughts, unzipped her handbag chain, and upon paying the taxi driver noticed the gold ring her mother had given her was missing. She was wearing it last night.
Could it be...who exactly was that man at the company? Last night, while she was unconscious, there was a vague sense soone took the ring off her finger. Who could it be?
This ring is the only keepsake her mother left her before she passed. Her mother had told her the ring was crucial for her future takeover of the Lin Group. Now what? The ring is lost, surely that man took it. Thinking of this, Lin Yi angrily slamd her leg.
"Dad, I’m back."
"Where did you ss around again last night? You’re so grown up yet still such a worry to . When will you grow up?"
After a while, Chairman Lin spoke again.
"Look at Tangtang and Guoguo. They’re your age, yet they can be so sensible, while you keep causing trouble."
Hearing her father criticize her like this, Lin Yi felt a deep sense of grievance, but she was also at a loss on how to respond to her father.
She hadn’t been in touch with Tangtang and Guoguo for a long ti and didn’t know where they’d gone.
Just then, Nanny Wu ca over.
"Yiyi is back, what would you like to eat? I’ll make it for you." Since her mother had died during childbirth, Nanny Wu had practically raised Lin Yi.
At this mont, Nanny Wu was like a real mother to Lin Yi. Her loving care felt like the warmth of a biological mother. Though Nanny Wu was a servant of the Lin family, she was treated as family.
"Nanny Wu, I’m not eating, I’ve already had breakfast, you go about your business."
Lin Yi was in no mood to eat. After returning to her room, exhausted from the night’s turmoil, she soon fell asleep.
"Who’s calling , so annoying." Lin Yi complained. Glancing at her phone screen, Lin Yi beca uneasy.
Suzhou, after all these years, his phone number hadn’t changed. Why was he calling now? Lin Yi pondered.
"Hello, old classmate, were you satisfied with my service last night?"
Instantly, Lin Yi rembered the guy who helped her win all the gas in the arcade last night. Could it be Suzhou? But why would he do that? They had nothing against each other!
"Suzhou, you... you’re a bastard, how could you! Where’s my ring?" Lin Yi thought she was simply skilled.
Previously, playing with Tangtang and Guoguo, Lin Yi was always the worst gar among them.
Confused, Suzhou innocently protested. Although he helped Lin Yi with gas last night, he hadn’t taken her ring.
"No problem, just a ring. Could it be more important than ?"
"Suzhou, I’m going to sue you, just wait!"
"What can you do after suing ? You’re my fiancée, after all. Is it illegal to play gas with my fiancée? Besides, you were thrilled playing nonstop!" Suzhou said, proudly as if everything was within his control. Getting Lin Yi was all part of his plan.
"How could I possibly be your fiancée, don’t even think about it." Lin Yi angrily hung up the phone.
"Yiyi, go wash up and co eat."
"Nanny Wu, I..." Tears flowed uncontrollably down Lin Yi’s face. She’d never faced anything like this before, with the other party being so unapologetic. She felt lost. Nanny Wu was like a comforting presence, offering solace.
"What, Yiyi, do you know who it is?" Nanny Wu tightly hugged Lin Yi, like a mother comforting her child.
"It’s Suzhou, my high school classmate."
Suzhou, Nanny Wu suddenly rembered Chairman Lin ntioning that na in a conversation last week, though she didn’t pay much attention.
"Yiyi, it’s okay, it’s a society with laws, justice will prevail. Don’t be afraid, Nanny Wu is here."
At this mont, Nanny Wu tried to contain her emotions. Turning away, she wiped her tears. Her heart ached for Lin Yi. She blad herself for not taking better care of Yiyi, letting her suffer such grievances.
Compared to Lin Yi’s friends, Tangtang and Guoguo, Lin Yi indeed didn’t asure up to her friends in many areas.
But that was the reality, and complaints couldn’t change it?
In the SD nightclub, the music and noise were uncomfortable. The venue was full of n and won indulging themselves. The colorful lights flashed, making it easy for one to get lost in indulgence.
In a corner of the nightclub, Xu Yao wore the gold ring taken from Lin Yi’s finger. Seven years ago, because of Lin Yi, everything she had vanished overnight; she was unwilling to accept it.
Back then, she secretly swore vengeance against Lin Yi, to make sure she never had a good life! This mont, she’d waited so long for. She shook her wine glass, staring at the red wine, believing she was the one deserving of Lin Yi’s lifestyle, and she could be the star in the spotlight!
"Such a beautiful and elegant lady, may I offer you a drink?"
Xu Yao looked up at the man, holding two glasses of champagne. As a seasoned bar-goer, she knew he only wanted to get her drunk.
"Get lost, I’m not interested; I have no obligation to drink with you."
The man at the bar, seeing Xu Yao’s firm attitude, said no more and turned to leave.
She had no interest in drinking with random n now. In her heart, Xu Yao couldn’t accept why Tangtang, Guoguo, and Lin Yi could have everything she desired.
As for her, she had nothing, only pity from others.
Now, Tangtang and Guoguo had disappeared without a trace. She wondered where those two went.
