"in that case, shouldn't you give something to thank me?" as zhou yi spoke, he extended his hand to pull her clothes.

seeing this, jiang zhixin hurriedly reached out her hand to block him, "don't touch me …"

"why can't i touch you? don't you like to use your body to achieve your goals? why is it not enough for me? or do you think it would be useful to play the trick in front of me? " as zhou yi said this, he bent down and forcefully tore open her skirt.

"no …" "don't..." jiang zhixin looked as if she had been shocked. her face instantly turned pale as both of her hands gripped tightly onto his right hand.

"why not? aren't you used to getting everything you want in this way? satisfy me, i can give you money. " as zhou yi said this, he took out his wallet from his pocket and threw the stack of bills on her face.

jiang zhixin's vision blurred from the sight of that stack of bills. when she came back to her senses, she saw zhou yi's eyes filled with contempt and disdain.

she could feel her heart tearing as the money fell.

her throat also hurt. this feeling of being loathed and disgusted by the man she loved made her hate herself as well.

so it turned out that in his eyes, she had always been that unbearable.

even if he saved her from the nightclub, so what? he didn't really want to save her, he just wanted her to go from being humiliated by a bunch of men to being humiliated by him alone.

how much did he have to hate her to do this?

jiang zhixin's heart was filled with despair. zhou yi was the only light she could see in this world.

although the heavens had given her the cruelest punishment, as long as she saw that zhou yi was still by her side, constantly appearing in front of her, she felt that he still had a reason to live seriously.

but now, she understood in her heart that zhou yi was as dazzling as the sun to her, and to zhou yi, she was the endless abyss. she was an existence that could always remind him that he had once been betrayed by the woman he loved.

she was a stain that had been engraved on zhou yi's heart. it could not be wiped away, and could not be wiped away.

she bent down and picked up the money he threw on the ground one by one, then counted them very seriously. then she looked up at zhou yi, who was in front of her, with a smile in his teary eyes: "director zhou, three thousand yuan is probably not enough."

zhou yi didn't think that after waiting for so long, he would wait for this sentence.

he was really disappointed in her.

"however, it doesn't matter. since we are all acquaintances, i can give you a discount." as she spoke, she took the initiative to wrap her arms around his neck.

zhou yi was disgusted by her words. he suddenly raised his hand and directly pushed her away, but because he had used too much strength, jiang zhixin was caught off guard and directly smashed into the wall, his head knocking against the door frame. a sharp pain came from the door frame, and when she reached out to touch it, she saw that there was blood flowing down his forehead.

she did not turn back, afraid that zhou yi would see her bleeding face. she could only endure the pain in her head and sat on the ground, feigning a frivolous voice: "is director zhou not satisfied with this discount? it's okay. if you want to, you can make it cheaper. "

zhou yi coldly looked at her back, his face full of disgust. without saying a word, he turned around and left.

hearing the sound of the door closing, jiang zhixin finally relaxed. she held her forehead, which was still bleeding, and wailed.

even if she pretended to be stronger, more dissolute, more shameless in front of him, the pain in her heart still clearly spread throughout her body, reminding her that she was a person, a person with feelings, not an unconscious machine.

she didn't know how to break this deadlock between her and zhou yi, or perhaps, she would never be able to break it.

but what did it matter?

as long as she was by his side and could still see him at all times, she could live according to what he imagined her to be. as long as he was happy!

during the opening ceremony the next day, in order to avoid being misunderstood by others when he appeared together with chen, huo xiwen hid in his bedroom and pretended to be asleep. he slept until noon before he rubbed his sleepy eyes and came downstairs.

seeing the butler downstairs, she asked casually, "peter, where is mr. chen?"

"mr. chen went to the celebration. he saw you sleeping, so he didn't have the heart to wake you up." peter looked down at the time on his watch and said, "at this point, the celebration should have ended long ago. mr. chen should be at the luncheon venue right now, would you like to go over for lunch?"

if she went at this time, she might be misunderstood by others. she simply yawned and said: "yesterday, i was really too tired, i didn't sleep well, so i won't go to the luncheon. you help me prepare some food, i'll eat in the villa."

"alright, miss huo, please wait a moment." as she spoke, the housekeeper turned around and called to order for her.

when he returned to his room, he went to the bathroom to wash up. when he came back down, he saw that lunch had arrived.

she walked to the dining table and was about to sit down to eat when her cell phone rang.

he took a look at the caller id and saw that it was luo qingyun.

she immediately turned on the answer b.u.t.ton and placed the phone by her ear. as she ate, she said, "hey, qingyun, why did you think of calling me? did you miss me? "

"xi wen, i heard that you're not in y city, where are you now? how did you get out at such an important moment? " on the other end of the phone, huo xiwen sounded a little excited.

"i'm in city z, a friend's resort is open for business, i'm here to partic.i.p.ate in the event. what's wrong? what important moment? you can't have a baby, right? " huo xiwen asked in confusion.

"birth what? i've only been born for four months, how can i be born?" didn't you get the news? fu muyun didn't tell you, but the person who pretended to be him has already been arrested. the entire criminal group was completely wiped out by the police? "

"what did you say?" huo xiwen instantly stood up from her chair when she heard the news. she couldn't believe that what she heard was true.

"it seems like you really don't know about this news." chen hao said. "fu muyun will definitely notify you immediately." i think maybe he wanted to give you a surprise and didn't tell you about it until now. "then continue to pretend you don't know. let's see how he performs." luo qingyun asked.

"qingyun, i …" what you mean to say is that the case was solved? the bad guys are all caught, aren't they? " huo xiwen said in a daze.
