Night was about to fall, and it was getting late. Seeing that it was time to get off work, and his colleagues had almost left, Duan Wenzhuo packed her things and prepared to get off work.

She took out the phone from her pocket and looked at the caller ID. She felt a bit nervous, but it didn't affect her mood.

"What is it?" She went straight to the point. Her tone was light, without a single trace of emotion.

"To the Fleeting Time Restaurant on Funan Road." "Now."

"What?" Duan Wenzhuo creased her eyebrows, and subconsciously wanted to reject, "I don't..."

"Du, du, du ~ ~"

Before she could finish speaking, the other party had already hung up the phone, seemingly unwilling to say another word to her.

Duan Wenzhuo held her phone as she walked out the door.

It was the first time he had asked her out to dinner.

But when he thought about what happened last night, he felt that he must have been up to no good.

Just as he was about to redial the number to refuse, a black car had already stopped in front of the entrance.

She knew the person up there, it was the Tang family's driver.

It seemed like he had come specifically to wait for her. It had already been a while.

That man was still so tyrannical that he didn't even give her the right to refuse.

Now it seemed that the phone call was just a message.

Could she not go?

Seeing that she had come out, the driver hurriedly got out of the car and respectfully opened the door, "Madam, Boss Tang has ordered me to bring you over."

She sighed, nodded, and got back in the back seat.

The car started slowly, creating a hubbub.

The scenery outside the window whistled past, but she only felt like her heart had been knocked over like a tasteless bottle. It was extremely complicated.

Soon, the restaurant arrived.

The driver respectfully opened the back seat door, Duan Wenzhuo took a deep breath, and walked out.

"Hello, this way please." The moment the waiter who was waiting at the door saw Duan Wenzhuo, he immediately went over. With a face full of smiles, he did not seem to be angry at all.

She nodded and followed.

It was no wonder that Tang Hongbo would visit this place so often.

Although they were legally husband and wife, in truth, they were not even as good as strangers. He had never placed her in his eyes!

He only had resentment towards her.

However, the scene in front of his eyes made Duan Wenzhuo's heart inexplicably ache.

He couldn't help but stop.

Her husband, holding a woman in his arms, was right in front of her.

This woman was none other than Yuwen Yue, who had an argument with her today.

No wonder it was said that this new pet was deeply favored by Tang Hongbo.

Yuwen Yue was also very surprised to see her, but she quickly hid it and put on a bashful look, limping into the man's embrace as if she had no bones.

It was definitely a deliberate act of intimacy.

She was declaring sovereignty! Provoke her!

Duan Wenzhuo pursed her lips and took a deep breath, as if she was unaffected in the slightest. She walked over as if nothing had happened, stood in front of the table, and stared straight at Tang Hongbo.

Tang Hongbo lazily raised his eyes. Before he could say anything, the woman in his arms opened her mouth.

"Darling, I was bullied by this woman before I left today …" Yuwen Yue pouted and complained to Tang Hongbo.

She was not stupid, she knew that this man hated it when others called Duan Wenzhuo their wife.

"Oh? "Is that so?" Tang Hongbo hugged Yuwen Yue's waist tightly and pinched it, then looked coldly at Duan Wenzhuo and sneered: "I never thought you would be so arrogant outside!"

Seeing that, Yuwen Yue immediately nodded her head, with an aggrieved look on her face, "Right, right, she even slapped her, it hurts so much."

Tang Hongbo's hand caressed Yuwen Yue's swollen cheek. Her expression seemed to contain a bit of heartache, but her eyes did not have a trace of warmth.

Yuwen Yue leaned into his embrace, and looked at Duan Wenzhuo with ridicule and contempt.

As expected, this Mrs. Tang was just a paper tiger.

Duan Wenzhuo frowned, she did not have any thoughts of explaining, she took a deep breath and opened her mouth, then asked: "Why did you ask me to come here?"

Tang Hongbo squinted, and said coldly: "When did you learn to hit people? do you really think you are a Mrs. Tang? "

Duan Wenzhuo clenched her fists and did not answer.

She didn't want to explain. She knew, in the eyes of Tang Hongbo, that she was an unforgivable woman, so why waste her breath? He would not believe it at all. He would only think it was an excuse.

Why should I?

"Remember, you are just an illegitimate daughter!" Tang Hongbo coldly snorted and ridiculed, "You should be clear about this, even if you marry me, you won't be flying up a branch to become a phoenix."

Duan Wenzhuo's fists became tighter and tighter, her nails digging into the flesh of her palms, yet she did not feel any pain, she lowered her eyes and endured it silently.

"After all, you are the main culprit behind your sister's death!" Tang Hongbo said each word clearly, a layer of anger rising faintly on his face. "I nearly forgot, you're a cruel and merciless woman, what can't you do?!"

Duan Wenzhuo's face did not have much color to it, but now, it looked even paler.

Elder sister …

Her heart throbbed painfully, making it difficult for her to even breathe.

She had always been afraid of what she was about to face, but now this man had openly said it in front of everyone.

She moved her mouth, wanting to say something, but the words were stuck in her throat, not knowing what to say.

She really had no way to refute those words.

She was indeed an illegitimate daughter, and her elder sister was indeed …

Seeing her like this, a trace of pain flashed past Tang Hongbo's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

This kind of woman wasn't worth anything to him!

He raised Yuwen Yue's head and lowered her head to kiss her.

The two of them acted as if no one else was present and acted in a friendly manner.

At this time, Duan Wenzhuo finally understood that the reason why Tang Hongbo had let her come was to thoroughly humiliate her.

A wave of sadness emerged from the bottom of his heart.

She gritted her teeth, struggled to turn around, and walked away.

Tang Hongbo opened his eyes and watched the woman's back figure disappear from his line of sight, his expression growing cold all of a sudden.

However, Yuwen Yue did not notice that she was inching closer to the man's chest, trying to think of a possibility. She had not been able to climb onto his bed even once …

However, before her hand could even touch anything, it was firmly grabbed and then violently pushed away.

"Get up and leave." Tang Hongbo's voice was very cold, without a single bit of warmth.

It was as if the man who was extremely gentle earlier was not her.

"Boss Tang..." This sudden turn of events caught Yuwen Yue off guard. She stared blankly, and acted as if she had seen it for herself. Then, she licked her lips and said seductively, "Come on ~"

Tang Hongbo looked at her coldly, a little impatient between his brows, "I don't want to say it a second time."

Yuwen Yue did not give up. She still wanted to stick close to her, but she was intimidated by Tang Hongbo's gaze. She could only pout her lips in dissatisfaction and leave with her bag.

Tang Hongbo sat in his seat, his eyes dark, his expression unfathomable.

Duan Wenzhuo walked aimlessly, not knowing where she could go, yet not wanting to return home.

The night wind blew her hair.

Unknowingly, they had reached the river bank.

Feeling a bit cold, she tightened her clothes, feeling a bit upset at the bottom of her heart.

She suddenly thought of her elder sister. She didn't know how she was doing right now.

When she first arrived at the Duan Clan, only her elder sister treated her very well. The two of them had arranged to travel together, yet she suddenly disappeared just like that …

After that, the Duan Clan used disappearance as a definition of her elder sister's disappearance. Even now, there was no news of her for such a long time, so they only thought that she had died.

In the eyes of others, they had been missing for such a long time and something must have happened to them.

This was all her fault!

If it wasn't for her proposing to travel, the Duan Clan wouldn't have lost their eldest daughter …. It was all her fault …

She regretted it, but what could she do to remedy it?

No...

Thus, after hearing Tang Hongbo's accusations, she was unable to say a single word.

It was already late in the night, and the gusts of wind caused Duan Wenzhuo to feel a little cold, and she couldn't help but wrap her clothes around herself.

A group of hoodlums at the side saw a woman with a pretty body and a good appearance walking alone. They looked at each other and could not help but have evil thoughts.

It was late and there weren't many people on the road. Besides, this was the riverside, so there were only a few pedestrians.

"Hey beauty, are you alone?"

A group of people walked over, surrounding Duan Wenzhuo with expressions of greed.

Duan Wenzhuo regained her senses, seeing their appearances, she became more alert, but did not reply. She wrapped her clothes tightly, and increased her pace.

"Don't go so fast!" A few people stood in front of her with vulgar smiles, naked desire in their eyes. "Brothers, you guys are also very lonely, how about … You want to enjoy life with us? "

Speaking till here, Duan Wenzhuo was not stupid, and naturally knew what kind of situation she had met with.

With a cold expression, she tried her best to maintain her composure. "I don't know you. Please give way."

As he spoke, he tried to get past them, but he was stopped in the end.

The few of them looked at each other as if they had heard something funny. Then, they stopped pretending and revealed evil expressions.

"There are only the few of us here. If you know what's good for you, your brothers will urge you to be obedient and follow us. They'll definitely make you happy!"

As the sound of his voice faded, those people began to prepare to make a move.

Duan Wenzhuo could not help but take a step back, grabbing the delinquent's hand, she held her breath and became focused, "Sir, please have some self-respect."

"Hahaha, I've never been able to understand the meaning of being self-respecting since I was young!" That hoodlum withdrew his hand and didn't seem to mind in the slightest.

The few of them had no intention of giving up. On the contrary, they were getting more and more out of hand.

"Don't... "Don't come near me!"

Duan Wenzhuo's expression changed slightly, her heartbeat quickened, and her panic gradually increased.

Those people kept moving forward, and she kept backing away, trying to keep a safe distance between them.

At this time, her feet were empty. Unexpectedly, she was caught off guard and fell backwards.

She had actually forgotten that it was by the river!

"Splash ~ ~ ~" He fell into the water.

Without much time to think, he was surrounded by ice.

The nose, eyes, and ears were filled with water.

The hooligans did not expect this, and immediately panicked, fleeing in all directions in fear.

Duan Wenzhuo did not expect to be able to absorb so much water in one go.

So uncomfortable …. He couldn't breathe …

His consciousness was gradually dissipating …

She was … Am I going to die?

Fine, there's no need to feel guilty anymore, there's no need …
