Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Song Yu used both of her hands to find her way to Liang Lihua’s wrist. Without hesitation, she used her fingernails to pinch the skin on Lihua’s wrist.

“How dare you pinch me! Let go, you shameless being! I’m going to lecture you here and let everybody know that you stole your sister’s man. Your office is just upstairs. Most of the customers here work in the same company as well! Look clearly at this woman, Song Yu! She stole her sister’s man and even forced the older family members to beg for forgiveness! This woman right here!”

“Liang Lihua, stop acting like a madwoman!” Yu Zixiu could not endure it anymore and joined the other two waiters to hold Liang Lihua back.

He saw that some of the customers already took out their cellphones. Yu Zixiu’s face dropped immediately when he realized that the scene was recorded.

“Stop holding me back! I’m going to teach her a lesson about intruding other’s relationship! It’s nothing wrong to be poor but how could you do something so filthy! You did everything to climb up the ladder and sabotage your sister on the way. How could you do this, Song Yu?” Liang Lihua shrieked.

Song Yu finally broke into tears. Her scalp and wrists were hurting so badly from Liang Lihua’s grip. In addition, she was slandered by Lihua with such malicious accusations, her tears were streaming down silently.

“Liang Lihua, you’re such a bully!” Song Yu yanked Liang Lihua’s arm. “Who’s the one that’s unreasonable, who’s the mistress, you know clearly in your heart! How can you turn it around and put the blame on me? You even said it in such a righteous tone, are you insane!

Liang Lihua, let go of me! You kept emphasizing that you’re the older family member and want me to treat you with respect, you can dream on it! Which thing you did earn the respect you crave! You took so much money from my family, yet you’re pulling my hair accusing me of so many things, are you even a human being? Can’t you differentiate right and wrong? Can you not let my parents down? I rather rear a wolf instead of you! Your daughter insisted to hit on my fiancé, how can you describe her as the victim!

Liang Lihua, you can swear to God if you dare! Swear that you’re speaking the truth! I dare you to swear with Yu Keyao’s well-being!”

You don’t have to say all these to accuse me!” Liang Lihua shrieked. The three guys were pulling her back, but she tightened her grip on Song Yu’s hair. The men dare not use too much force for fear that they might hurt Song Yu.

Song Yu was in so much pain that she released her grip on Liang Lihua’s wrists. She held her own hair and tried to pull it towards her. She could feel her scalp going numb.

Song Yu’s tears kept rolling down, but she held in her sobs, not wanting to let others hear her crying.

Back in the days, Liang Lihua kept bringing Yu Keyao over to their house and weep. She even swore to the heavens that she would never forget how Yu Qianying helped them out, said that they were extremely grateful and would be forever indebted to them.

After that, when the Song family went bankrupt, not only she kept her distance from them, she totally disregarded the fact that she borrowed money from the Song family.

The way Liang Lihua accused Song Yu made her so angry that she could only feel powerless.

She was on the verge of losing consciousness due to the shooting pain on her scalp. Suddenly, she heard Liang Lihua yelled out loud. The next thing she knew was that the force exerted on her scalp disappeared.

Song Yu lifted her head and saw Jian Yi was dragging Liang Lihua away forcefully by her hair.

Liang Lihua lost balance and fell onto the ground.

Yu Zixiu and the other two waiters were not able to separate Liang Lihua from Song Yu because they dare not treat her to harshly. However, Jian Yi was not concern about whether Liang Lihua would get hurt.

He yanked Liang Lihua’s hair with so much force that she had to release Song Yu to protect herself.

Just now, he came here looking for Song Yu. Once he entered the building, he heard a commotion in the cafe and glanced over to have a look. He saw customers gathered around a group of people in a brawl, some of them were even recording the fight.

Jian Yi frowned and stopped walking when he saw Yu Zixiu standing beside the two women who were fighting.

When he took a closer look, he realized that Liang Lihua was yanking Song Yu’s hair while she berated her.

Instantly, he dashed into the cafe, leading to the following events.

“Song Yu, are you okay?” Jian Yi hurried to Song Yu’s side to protect her when he came to his senses.

Song Yu had her head lowered, her hair was in a mess after being tortured by Liang Lihua. She was restless and in a daze, not as composed as her usual self.

Her face was hidden behind her hair, but Jian Yi knew that she was crying based on the way her shoulders kept twitching.

Jian Yi reached his hand out, wanting to tidy up her hair. Just when his fingertips came into contact with her hair, she shuddered visibly upon his touch.

His touch was very light without exerting much force, but Song Yu felt a jolting pain on her scalp.

She immediately took a step back to avoid Jian Yi’s touch.

Jian Yi’s hand froze in the middle of the air. One moment later, he retracted his hand after balling it into a fist.

Even though it was only a split second of contact, it triggered his memory from the past where he used to caress her hair. He never expected to experience the same softness after such a long time under circumstances like this.

Song Yu endured the immense pain while she tidied up her hair. She wiped away the tears on her face and shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

She dare not speak now, for fear that she would not be able to hold her emotions. She was in a very vulnerable state right now.

“Let go of me!” Liang Lihua yelled.

Even though Liang Lihua stood up, the two waiters was afraid that she would charge forward towards Song Yu and grabbed her arms, one person on each side.

“Song Yu, you’re a natural when it comes to seducing man, huh! If I’m not mistaken, this is the husband of Qi Chengzhi’s sister! So you’re still not satisfied after stealing your own sister’s man and went ahead to steal his sister’s man as well? Are you even ashamed of yourself? Do you feel weird if you don’t take other people’s man!”

Liang Lihua knew that the two waiters would not let go of her, so she stopped struggling. She remained standing and glanced at Jian Yi who put himself in front of Song Yu. She raised her upper lip sarcastically and said in a weird tone, “Is there something going on between the two of you? I can see the way he looks at you, there’s definitely something going on.

Aiya, I remembered a woman told me before. Who was she? I think it was Jian Yi’s mother. She kept announcing to everyone that you liked Jian Yi for many years, isn’t it? I think that you just can’t get over Jian Yi! On one side, you kept sticking around Qi Chengzhi to get your revenge on our family, but on the other hand, you still kept contacting Jian Yi...”

“Liang Lihua, stop talking nonsense!” Song Yu could not tolerate Liang Lihua’s filthy words. Her comments made others nauseous just by thinking of it!

“Why, you’re guilty because I’m right!” Liang Lihua sneered maliciously, “If it’s not because I guessed it correctly, why are you reacting so strongly?”

“You don’t have to waste your time talking to this lunatic,” Jian Yi said coldly, “She’ll just make it worse if you continue.”

“Madam, if you continue with your behavior, we’ll have to call the police,” one of the waiters said.

Jian Yi took Song Yu’s hand and strode out of the cafe.

Yu Zixiu had never felt so shameful in his entire life. It was no comparison to the last time where he got shut out from the Song family’s house or that time when Yu Qianying pointed at his nose and berated him.

His expression was rarely affected by the situation, but this time, he could feel his face burning up.

The two waiters had already released Liang Lihua. She was glaring at Yu Zixiu and planned to chastise him for going to Song Yu personally to please her.

However, before she could even say anything, Yu Zixiu humphed offishly and said, “How shameful are you!”

Having said that, he then strode off and left. His anger was shown in the shadow of his back as if there was green smoke coming out.

...

...

Song Yu had no recollection of how Jian Yi got her into his car. She was trembling in anger and hurt after being chastised by Liang Lihua moments ago. Her mind was preoccupied with all her exasperating remarks.

She had no idea how did Jian Yi manage to bring her out of the cafe.

She was so furious that tears kept welling up in her eyes. Before it fell, she used the back of her hand to wipe it away but it was pointless as more tears started to pool in her eyes.

The sudden chime of her ringtone brought Song Yu back to her senses. Only then, she noticed that she was already in Jian Yi’s car, not knowing which direction he was heading to.

When she was about to reach for her cellphone, she looked down and saw a tissue box.

Jian Yi handed her a tissue box without saying a word.

Song Yu received it and sniffed her nose before withdrawing a piece of tissue to wipe off her tears. At the same time, she took out her cellphone and saw Qi Chengzhi’s number. Her heart jumped.

She felt a little guilty since she was sitting in Jian Yi’s car right now.

Song Yu took a deep breath and tried to calm down. She was trying very hard to calm herself even if it was just a bit, hoping that Qi Chengzhi would not sense anything from her tone.

“Where are you?” She heard Qi Chengzhi’s mellow tone once she answered the phone call.

His deep, mellow voice reminded her of the feeling of home. She had just calmed down but it felt so secured that more tears started falling down her cheeks.

Song Yu choked back a sob and kept wiping away her tears with the tissue.

“I’m having lunch outside,” she tried to maintain a stable tone. She did not want to let him know that she was in Jian Yi’s car, for fear that he would get angry and ask for the reason why.

“Where are you?” He asked calmly like how he used to talk to her normally. His voice was light and gentle, tickling her heart softly, making her feel warm and tingly.

“What’s the point of telling you where I am, not like you can come over. I’m with Ruan Danchen,” Song Yu lowered her voice to keep it steady so that it sounds normal.

She thought that he should not be able to sense it through the phone.

“Uhm,” she heard him answered softly and did not continue asking.

“Why are you calling me?” She asked.

“Nothing, I just want to hear your voice,” he said in a gentle voice.

“Have you eaten?” Song Yu asked softly. Her head naturally turned towards the car window. It was as if that corner became a world of its own, her volume became softer and softer when she talked to Qi Chengzhi. It was so soft that Jian Yi could not hear clearly anymore.

“I’m eating,” Qi Chengzhi said.

“Oh, carry on then, stop talking,” Song Yu was relieved.

“Uhm.”

Then, he hung up the call.

Instead of eating, he was currently in his Range Rover. He was just beside the cafe that Song Yu and Yu Zixiu went moments ago.

When he arrived, Song Yu was already gone. He also missed Yu Zixiu. While he was frowning and dialing Song Yu’s number, he saw Liang Lihua walked out of the cafe.

Even though she was not in a disheveled state, she was still in a mess.

Liang Lihua was stunned for a moment when she saw him. Her thin lips then curved into a mocking curve.

She scoffed wickedly, “Chengzhi, are you looking for Song Yu?”

Qi Chengzhi remained a stoic face. He did not utter a single word and looked at Liang Lihua with an emotionless gaze.

“He he, you’re too late. She just left with her ex-lover. What’s his name again?” Liang Lihua put on a pretense as if she could not remember and frowned. Then, her eyes widened in realization and said, “Oh, Jian Yi is his name if I remember correctly. Isn’t he your sister’s husband?

Both of them walked out of the cafe holding hands,” Liang Lihua smiled cockily. “Seems like they still have remnant feelings for each other!”

Qi Chengzhi remained an indifferent expression and did not change much. His deep-set eyes gazed at Liang Lihua for quite some time, as if he was going to drill a hole between her eyebrows.

Liang Lihua was starting to feel guilty after being stared at for so long. Her heart started pumping strongly.

She felt her heart sinking and started to regret telling Qi Chengzhi about it.

She just had a fight with Song Yu and was still very irritated. When she saw Qi Chengzhi, she blurted out everything without giving any thoughts and forgotten how scary Qi Chengzhi could be.

“Mrs. Liang, the man you mentioned, Jian Yi. My sister is his wife, while Song Yu is my fiancée. It is none of your business and you don’t have the right to judge the Qi family. No one managed to get away unharmed after senselessly defaming our Qi family right in front of one of our own.” Qi Chengzhi said calmly while he raised the corner of his mouth sarcastically.

“You’ll realize that these statements are rather costly. I’m not sure if your family can afford them,” Qi Chengzhi said in an icy tone.

Liang Lihua was stunned and could not utter a single word.

Qi Chengzhi turned around and went back into his car.

Suddenly, something ticked off Liang Lihua and she ran towards the car. However, the car window was sealed shut. She could only shout at the sealed window but Qi Chengzhi could not hear what was she trying to convey. He had no interest in it.

Without the need to hear her, he knew that she was begging for forgiveness, saying that it was just a misunderstanding.

She stuck both of her hands on the window. Her hair became even messier after running. Even though she was wearing branded clothing, it did not add points to her elegance.

Qi Chengzhi started the car with a cold expression. Then, he rammed the accelerator so hard that the car jolted forward about half a car’s length. Liang Lihua got flung away by the sudden motion.

Both of her hands were scraped. Although her heels were not that high, she twisted her ankle due to the sudden fall.

Qi Chengzhi looked at her coldly through the rearview mirror. He saw Liang Lihua struggled to get back onto her feet. When she saw his car stopped, she limped over and placed her dirtied hands on the car window, leaving a few grimy marks on the dark car window.

Qi Chengzhi changed into reverse gear and returned to the original position in a swift motion. Once again, Liang Lihua fell to the ground.

This time, Qi Chengzhi did not stop and just drove away.

After a while, he returned but Liang Lihua had left.

Qi Chengzhi got down from the car and glanced at the office building. He called the office but Song Yu had not come back from her lunch.

Then, he went back into the car to call Song Yu.

After hanging up, he reached for cigarettes and the lighter habitually, but got back empty handed. Only then he recalled that he was in the midst of quitting smoking, that was the reason why he no longer brought these things with him.

He then picked up the cellphone from the passenger seat with a frown and thought about the conversation he had with Song Yu.

...

...

Song Yu kept her cellphone into her bag. Without looking at Jian Yi, she said, “Thank you for what you did just now. Please stop the car in front.”

“You haven’t eaten yet, right?” Jian Yi glanced at her briefly. He just passed a parking spot but he did not stop the car.

“I’m not hungry, please stop the car aside, I want to get down,” Song Yu said calmly.

Jian Yi helped her just now, she could not treat him as sternly as before, but she was also unable to show him any enthusiasm.

“I didn’t pass by the cafe by chance. I’m actually looking for you,” Jian Yi said while he continued driving.

Song Yu glanced at him slightly surprised, but she recomposed herself quickly and said, “Jian Yi, I’m very grateful that you helped me just now, but there’s nothing more to say between us. Please stop and let me down.”

Instead of stopping the car, Jian Yi locked the car doors.

After hearing the clicking sounds made by the locks, Song Yu’s expression changed instantly, “What are you doing!”

“I have something to tell you,” Jian Yi said calmly.

“All of you keep coming to me and tell me that you have something to say. Can you guys stop harassing me!” Song Yu finally broke down after being pestered non-stop by the Yu family members one after another.

She shouted out loudly and glared at Jian Yi furiously.

“I just want a peaceful life. I don’t want to be involved in your mess. Who do you guys think you are? Why do you guys have the audacity to come and disturb my life, standing on the moral high ground while judging my choices. This is my life and my choice. Can you guys stop being so self-righteous and interfere with it? I don’t need your so-called goodwill. Stop saying that you have something to tell me. I don’t need it and I don’t want to hear it!

Your supposedly important thing means nothing to me! Do you understand? No matter what you tell me, nothing is going to change. You will never get what you want! Jian Yi, do you understand?” Song Yu gripped the car door and yelled, “Now, stop the car and let me out!”

“I promise that this will be very meaningful to you,” Jian Yi said while he glanced at her. “What if I tell you that Qi Chengzhi is involved in the Song family’s bankruptcy? Will you still feel that this is meaningless to you?”

What?

Song Yu was stunned. She could feel her mind exploding as if she was able to hear the explosion in her brain.

For a while, Song Yu was unable to react. She was dumbfounded and her mind went blank. She could not digest what Jian Yi had just said.

How could Qi Chengzhi be involved in the Song family’s bankruptcy!

Song Yu’s heart and limbs grew colder and colder until they were immobilized.

She could not utter a word, not to mention ordering Jian Yi to stop the car.

While she was still in a daze, Jian Yi made a turn and entered an open carpark.

He turned off the engine and released the seatbelt. He approached Song Yu and extended his arm to open the storage compartment in front of Song Yu. From there, he took our a folder of documents.

Song Yu was still unable to utter a word. She was still staring blankly, even when the file folder was handed before her.
