"Then I'll go first." I heard Tao Man pick up the documents on the ground and say that I was no longer in the mood to think about what she was doing or not to look. Even if she did see me, she wouldn't be able to do anything.

"Don't cry." Cheng Ruojun held onto my shoulder, allowing me to sit on his thigh. He gently helped me wipe away my tears, "If you do this, my heart will ache for you."

Cheng Ruojun touched my face once again. His fingertips were slightly rough, and this kind of touch made me shiver. This is the first time in my three years of marriage that I have seen his sinister side.

I nodded.

"I've already bought your brother's house, your parents have already gone to look at it today." Cheng Ruojun said again, "We've already reached the item we bought last time, maybe we can try it when we have the chance."

I thought of the hideous instruments he had shown me, and I was afraid, but I dared not resist, and in the end I could only nod.

"You can go." Cheng Ruojun hugged me and whispered in my ear, "I'm very satisfied today, next time we can go out and try."

I got off Cheng Ruojun's body, and didn't even dare to look at him. I quickly put on my dress and jacket, hoping to cover the bite wounds on my shoulder that Cheng Ruojun had made.

"Then I'll leave first." "No," I said.

"Yes." Cheng Ruojun said, "I'll see you tonight."

I quickly left his office. I lowered my head, unwilling to meet Tao Man's gaze.

"Mrs. Cheng, are you leaving?" I suddenly heard Tao Man say.

I raised my head to look at Tao Man who was dressed in her professional attire and nodded. I tried my best to pretend that nothing had happened, but I still saw a trace of pity and contempt in Tao Man's eyes. She was different from me, she had a much more perfect life than me.

"Yes." I nodded my head and quickly headed outside. I didn't want to stay here for another second.

I went to the bathroom and kept rinsing my mouth with water to make me feel better.

I put my hands on the sink and stared at myself in the mirror, where I looked haggard.

I knew that I was very beautiful since I was young, because I had always been chasing after people. Back then, I only relied on my junior high school education to apply for the position of the front desk of this company, and almost became a supervisor. It was also because of my looks, maybe even marrying Cheng Ruojun was because of my looks.

I washed my face and stepped into the elevator. Leaning against the wall, I fished out the chocolates from my bag and stuffed them into my mouth like a madman. The sweet sugar melted in my mouth, and I finally felt better.

Today's experience reminded me of my first time with Cheng Ruojun. That was really a painful memory, and I still don't want to recall it.

I sat in the car and was about to go to the bakery when my cell phone rang. I looked at the name on it and answered it helplessly.

"Hello, Mom." The one on the other side of the phone is Du Lirong. It's definitely not a good thing for her to call me.

"Go home immediately." She hung up.

I stared blankly at the phone, but I already knew I was going to be ridiculed every time I went to my in-laws' house.

I don't want to go back now. I still have the mark left by Cheng Ruojun, and the smell of Cheng Ruojun still lingered around me. I feel disgusted by the smell now, and I want to go home and take a bath immediately.

I stood at the door and checked my clothes, then tidied up my hair again. I had already applied makeup on the car just now, so I didn't want Du Lirong to see that I was in a difficult situation, even though it would make her happy.

I rang the doorbell, and only after a while did the door open. The one who opened the door was a servant who had worked at Du Lirong's home for 10 years, she was around 50 years old, her hair was a little perm, she looked at me with a smile that was not a smile, and her eyes were filled with schadenfreude.

"Come in, the old lady is waiting for you." She smiled again.

I looked at her uneasily, and felt something different this time.

I walked into the hall. Du Lirong was sitting on the sofa at the moment, holding a small knife in her hand, removing the root of a flower, and standing behind her was Ye Hanqiu, who was massaging her shoulders. Ye Hanqiu smiled at me, the curve of her lips was similar to that of the Sister Zheng's, it was filled with pride and scorn.

I looked at Du Lirong and did not say anything. I was really tired today, but I had already guessed what Du Lirong wanted to say.

"Kneel!" Du Lirong rebuked, "You still have the face to stand there."

I was stunned.

This is the first time Du Lirong made me kneel down, I don't understand what I did wrong. Moreover, I haven't even kneeled down to my parents, why should I kneel down to her?

I did not move, but looked at Du Lirong.

Du Lirong stared at me, and her small eyes were filled with disgust and hatred. She snorted, and then, she put down the flower in her hand.

I still didn't move. I had had enough. Why did the people in their family always force me?

"Sister Zheng, help her." Du Lirong said.

Hearing Du Lirong's cold voice, I shrank back as I took a step back and asked anxiously, "What do you want to do?"

I wanted to leave this place immediately. I wanted to call Cheng Ruojun to save me, but the moment I took a step out of the door, my hair was grabbed tightly, and following that, I was kicked hard twice at the joints of my legs. I kneeled on the ground in pain, Sister Zheng and a sturdy servant girl twisted my arm backwards, making it so that I couldn't move at all.

I was just injured at Cheng Ruojun's place.

Don't cry. That's all I can tell myself. Why did I end up in such a mess?

"I heard from Hanqiu that you didn't come home yesterday?" Du Lirong's shrill voice came from above, "You spent our family's money to find a man outside, you really don't care about face even if you were to be given a face."
