Xiao Muting looked at the lady that appeared at the entrance of the pub, his deep eyes unable to see the bottom of the abyss.

Xia Wan lowered her eyes, and a self-deprecating smile formed on her lips. She was glad that the person she met yesterday was not him, but instead that she liked Xiao Muting.

She raised her head and met his gaze. Her previously unpainted face was now adorned with exquisite makeup. The clothes that had grown a few sizes larger covered her thin body with a hint of sexiness and charm. Her curly hair naturally fell into her ears …

His expression was calm as he looked at his pure and sweet face. He still had a familiar appearance, but it was no longer the familiar charm.

Tang Shaofeng was actually quite calm, after what had happened, he had asked for his opinion immediately, so he would naturally not say anything to his brother who had helped him get back on his feet, furthermore, he would not admit that he had any other opinion towards this woman other than hatred.

But he still couldn't say why he had appeared in such a place, and why he had met her.

His many years of experience allowed him to get used to the turmoil in his heart, but he was still able to maintain a calm surface. The indescribable irritation and depression in his chest only emitted a threatening chill.

Xia Wan shuddered. She knew that the man in front of her hated her, but she had always deceived herself that the Xia Clan was her own clan. Now that the final act of deceiving himself had been taken down, he would definitely know that she had taken over the Xia Clan within the next day.

Since last night, they had not been able to return. No, for the first time, Xia Wan forced herself to face this reality.

From the moment he had said goodbye to himself, they had never been able to go back.

She knew that she still deeply loved this man in front of her, and the smile on her face gradually froze. In this silent war, she once again fled in panic.

She sat in the top VIP booth, drinking one cup after another. From here, she could still see the figure of that man in a suit. She was glad that the top VIP booth in this bar couldn't be bought with money.

She finished all the wine on the table like a whirlwind and wiped the tears off her face, leaving behind a proud figure before he left.

As she walked home, she could no longer control her emotions. At this time, there were a few blind people blocking her path. One of them boldly opened his mouth and said, "Yo, little sister, you look so beautiful. Why don't you play with your elder brothers?"

Xia Wan glanced at him blandly, and turned to walk away, but those people did not seem to be willing to let her go, they still stood in front of her, looking at her with sinister smiles on their faces, "Don't go, your brothers will make you feel good."

"Scram!" Xia Wan slapped away the perverted hands in front of her, and glared at the few delinquents in front of her. Even though she was reeking of alcohol, her body and consciousness were extremely clear, and she took off her high heels, wanting to run away.

The person nodded behind her, and a few people surrounded her. Xia Wan held onto her high heels tightly, and when she saw those people pouncing towards her, she hit them back without hesitation. After a few rounds, they still did not have any advantages.

"Yo, this girl has a temper!" "Bro, how about we play with her?"

Naturally, Xia Wan did not want to be outdone. Just as she was ready to fight, she felt someone grab her wrist, and it turned out that there were two people who took advantage of her carelessness to rush over and hold her down. The other person had taken her weapon, her red high heels.

She struggled as if her life depended on it and glared at the man. "Despicable! Shameless! "Ugh …"

"Pa ~ ~" A burning pain came from her face as she lifted her head to meet the man's complacent gaze.

Xia Wan's emotions were already on the verge of collapse and her eyes were bloodshot. She even had the thought of suicide, so she gritted her teeth and fiercely kicked the man's lower body, then she quickly fought with the person who trapped her.

"You crazy woman!" The man's shriek cut through the silent alley, leaving a bite mark on his wrist.

The delinquents originally only wanted to cause trouble, they didn't expect to offend such a suicidal master. Even though her body was full of wounds, blood still flowed down from her fair skin, but she still gritted her teeth as she continued waving her bag.

When Xiao Muting came out of the bar, he saw a scene like this. Xia Wan was barefoot, her bag in her hand, as if she didn't know how much pain was coming to her hands, as she fought with the other men. Although she couldn't beat them, she still looked determined to not lose.

His memories went back to the time when a few little boys mocked her for not having a mother. She fought back like that too, like a proud peacock. Even if she lost all her fur, she still wouldn't admit defeat.

"Stop!" While he was still immersed in reminiscing about the past, someone had already rushed up ahead of him.

Looking at those people who were fleeing, for a moment, Xia Wan thought that Xiao Muting was here to save his again, just like how he was in the past. But when she sensed the aura of the man beside his, before she could even say those words of thanks, she had already blurted out those piercing words.

"Tang Shaofeng, are you done yet?! Didn't you say that you shouldn't let me see you again! "

As she said that, Xia Wan's eyes were always staring at the person under the light of the bar's lamp. She only noticed Xiao Muting's lonely figure, but she didn't see the man's scarred palm.

Tang Shaofeng took a deep breath, and said in a casual tone, "I was just here to pick up Mu Ting, I was blind so I didn't see you."

With that, he released Xia Wan, and without looking back, he walked to Xiao Muting's side and drove him away. Looking at their figures, Xia Wan felt a sense of loss, and told herself this in her heart.

"Xia Wan, the two people who saved you back then, have already left."

She walked down the street in a daze and simply found a nearby hotel to get a room. After enduring the pain and taking a bath, she laid on the big white bed with wounds all over her body. The past kept replaying in her mind and she couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

Seeing the clothes hanging by the window, for some reason, when she thought of Tang Shaofeng, she could not help but laugh at herself, "It's said that a woman in flowing water is strong, but Xiao Muting, the relationship between the two of them, can a woman like you break it?"

After he decided to forget about the past and those two people, Xia Wan closed her eyes.

He slept until noon. When he opened his phone, he found that there were dozens of missed calls. They were all unfamiliar numbers. They were Xia Zheng's assistants.

The first thing the assistant said was, "Miss, something happened at the company."
