ng˪ had not appeared again."My mom must still be at the club!" Fu Yanxin panicked. She hasn't left the club, but there's been no word from her. Something must have happened!The manager pointed in one...When Fu Yan returned to the ward, Song Qing霜 was still asleep. The nurse said she would probably sleep until morning. She had hardly slept for a whole day and was exhausted.

She entrusted the nurse to look after her for a while, and went home to change into another set of clothes and bring over some toiletries.

Song Qing霜 is picky and doesn't use just anything bought outside.

The good thing is that her apartment complex isn't too far from the hospital, so back and forth doesn't take much time.

She gazed out the taxi window, lost in thought.

Recalling the words she had spoken to her mother before waking up.

At first, Chen Rang was introduced to Song Qing霜 by Mrs. Shen. She didn't think much of it at the time. Since the Shen family and the Huo family were planning a marriage alliance, they were practically in-laws. Because the two families had a good relationship, she trusted Mrs. Shen.

Fu Yan thought back to when Shen Wei said she had heard about Chen Rang abroad, but actually, it wasn't that she had heard about him; rather, it was that Shen Wei knew Chen Rang.

It was arranged by Shen Wei.

Including her phone number and photos being posted online a while back, the police's explanation didn't sit well with her. She had a gut feeling that someone was stirring up trouble.

It's still Shen Wei.

No wonder Huo Mingzheng didn't bring it up, he knew it was Shen Wei who did it.

She talked about collaborations coming one after another, those collaborators were all related to the Chen family. Now that I think about it, the Chen family knew Huo family was protecting her, so they didn't dare to act rashly. There must be Shen Wei's hand in this as well.

Long before she knew Shen Wei, he already knew she existed.

Shen Wei's consecutive moves were all aimed at ruining her.

All these recent events, one after another, she must seek justice from Shen Wei!

The car stopped under the apartment building. Fu Yan returned to her senses and scanned the code to pay before getting out of the car.

The hallway lights are broken. I've reported it to the property management several times, but they're lazy and haven't come to fix it.

She stepped out of the elevator. Outside, it was pitch black. As soon as the elevator doors closed, only the green emergency exit signs glowed in the darkness, dimly and hazily.

She held a key in one hand and opened her phone's flashlight with the other, ready to unlock the door.

"Ah—"

A sudden flash of light made her scream, and she collapsed to the ground, her face paling instantly!

A table was set up by the door, with fresh flowers, incense burners and white silk ceremonial offerings. It looked exactly like a mourning hall. The green indicator lights and the phone screens cast an eerie glow, making the whole scene unsettling.

...and a huge black-and-white photograph was prominently displayed on the door to her house.

Above is Chen Lang, who has already died with a wry smile!

It's as if he could crawl out of the picture the next second, clinging to her just like he did that night!

"Ah—"

That night's scene played out frame by frame in her mind. Chen Rang's black and white photo kept enlarging before her eyes, and Fu Yan's every hair stood on end, leaving her trembling with fear.

The elevator dinged and opened.

"Pay for Rouge!"

By the elevator's lights, Huo Mingzheng saw the mourning hall setup at the entrance and his face changed. He quickly walked to Fu Yan's side, knelt down and embraced her. But Fu Yan seemed to not hear, see, or recognize him as she waved her hands randomly and trembled with fear.

"Pay Yan!" Huo Mingzheng frowned.

"Get away! Get away!" Fu Yan was frantic, refusing to let Huo Mingzheng near her. Her pale face had hollow eyes.

Huo Mingzheng's heart sank, and he forcefully pulled her into his arms. "Fu Xiaoliu!"

When Fu Yan came to the Huo household, her family had suffered a misfortune. She became thin and small. The Huo family treated her as an outsider. Her peers called her Fu Yan, while the Huo family servants called her Miss Fu.

Only Huo Mingzheng, who hadn't been fond of her since she was a child, called her Fu Xiaoliu. meat skewers indeed proves speedy."Fu Yan returned a smile just as bright, "Then I have to thank General Manager Shen for giving me this opportunity.""Isn't it a sense of superiority to treat people...
