“But you’re not bad, Kid. You’re able to get your hands on her wechat.”

Fu Ming’s thin lips curled up slightly. “I have plenty of ways.”

Xie Juan patted Fu Ming’s shoulder. “Did you add her on wechat for decoration? Don’t you know how to chat with her? If things progress well, maybe your relationship will take another big step forward when school starts.”

Hearing that, Fu Ming took his hand and said happily, “Smart! I’ll call you Zhuge Aijun from now on.”

“Get lost! Get lost!” Xie Juan said with disdain.

Xi Mo threw the ball into Fu Ming’s arms. The person who had just sent a message to Wen Hua was caught off guard by the ball and his phone fell to the ground.

“Damn, Old Xi, what are you doing?”

“Are you going to play or not? Don’t call me out if you have this attitude when you play in the future.”

Xie Jun curled his lips, pulled Fu Ming up and snatched the ball. “Why aren’t you playing? Come, continue. Old Fu, if you want to flirt with girls, go home and flirt at night.”

The winter vacation officially began.

After playing basketball with them for two days, Xi Mo did not go when Fu Ming called for him on the third day.

He thought that Lucheng would be fine for a few more days, but the temperature suddenly dropped sharply on the third day and it became colder than before.

In the evening, Xi Mo came out to eat. Inside was a gray hoodie and a thin windbreaker. After walking around outside, he actually felt cold.

In the wechat group, Xie Juan forwarded a piece of news about the livelihood of the people. The title was: Young Lady in her prime murdered in hotel.

Xie Juan: [ There really are all kinds of people. The little girl was only 16 years old. When she came back from eating in the middle of the night, she was pulled away by two big men in the hotel corridor. When she was found the next day, she was no longer breathing. Her parents are so sad. Those two 40-year-old men are worse than animals! ]

Soon, Fu Ming also started cursing among the three of them.

Xi Mo turned off his phone.

When he passed through an empty street, he stopped in his tracks.

The person sitting on the bench was… Wen Hua?

She looked at her phone and sighed imperceptibly. Then, she pulled her suitcase and stood up.

She looked up and saw the people standing in the Long Street. She was stunned.

After a moment of silence, he was about to leave. She suddenly thought of something and went forward to block the way.

Her knuckles pinched the corner of her shirt. Wen Hua said in a low voice, “Can you lend me 500 Yuan?”

Xi Mo looked down at her from above. His eyes did not have much warmth. “Do you need money?”

“Yes… There’s only enough money for today in my wallet .”

Her fair face was even colder in the cold winter. Her eyes were pure black and the tip of her nose was already red from the cold. She was dragging a suitcase alone with no money on her. She did not know how she ended up like this.

She remembered that Fu Ming had said that she had already boarded the plane the day before yesterday.

But now she looked like she had run away from home.

“I don’t have any money.”

She knew that he would not lend her any money. After all, he hated her so much. Wen Hua lowered her eyes. “Alright, thank you.”

She wanted to turn around.

He looked at the mole on her eyelid and said indifferently, “Your family doesn’t care about you?”

When he said this, the originally quiet person’s eyelashes fluttered and tears flowed out from the corners of her eyes. She didn’t answer and turned around to get her suitcase.

Looking at the person who was silently pushing the suitcase away, Xi Mo stood there for two seconds and stared at her skinny back with a frown.

He took a few steps forward. “What’s wrong with you…”

Walking to her side, he suddenly saw two lines of tears on her face. Xi Mo was slightly startled. “What happened?”

Wen Hua did not like to be seen crying by others. She casually wiped her face and continued to walk with her head lowered.

“I can lend you money.”

She stopped.

He walked in front of her and opened his wide palm. “Phone.”

Wen Hua gave him the phone.

Xi Mo: “Unlock it.”

After unlocking it, he returned the phone to her. Wen Hua lowered her head to take a look. The two of them added each other on wechat and he transferred 1,000 yuan to her.

“I really didn’t bring any cash.” That was what he meant just now, but she had to leave without finishing her sentence and cried miserably because of his words.

Those who didn’t know would think that he was bullying her.

“Thank you,” she said softly, but sincerely. “I’ll pay you back in the future.”

Xi Mo didn’t take it to heart and asked, “Where are you going now?”

“I’m looking for a place to stay.” She wiped away the last tears on her face and said in a low voice, “Let’s get settled first. I’ll go out to look for a part-time job another day.”

“You’re not going home?”

“No.”

He did not ask any more questions. Looking at the dark sky, he frowned slightly and thought of the news that Xie Juan had posted.

After thinking for a few seconds, he said with a stiff face, “Let’s go to my house.”

Wen Hua was stunned and subconsciously rejected him. “I won’t bother you anymore. I’ll just find a random hotel…”

“You haven’t seen the news?” He said coldly. “There was a girl who was raped in a hotel in west city yesterday.”

Wen Hua’s breathing stopped for a moment.

He continued, “I’m the only one in my house.”

Seeing that she was still hesitating, he said in an indifferent tone, “I’m just giving you an opinion. If you insist on staying in a hotel, it’s up to you.”

She held the luggage pole and replied, “Sorry to trouble you.”

At seven o’clock, the sky was dark.

She followed him to his house. It was just as he had said. There was no one else in the entire villa, not even a pet.

The hall was brightly lit. Holding the suitcase, she stood awkwardly and tried to find a conversation. “Where’s Your Family?”

“In Switzerland.”

She nodded and did not ask any more questions.

“The guest room on the second floor. Pick one yourself,” he said and left.

Wen Hua felt that his quiet and non-meddlesome personality was very good. At least now she could be alone.

She picked a guest room and put her luggage away. She sat on the bed in a daze.

Her somewhat messy mind calmed down at this moment.

Thinking of the bright woman sitting in her living room the moment she entered, the corners of her mouth curled up into a sneer.

The woman was wearing a loose chiffon skirt. Her makeup was beautiful, and her slightly protruding stomach stung her eyes. What was more eye-catching was the woman’s relaxed posture. She looked like a hostess, yet she still had the face to smile at her.

Almost in an instant, Wen Hua was ignited.

“Who are you?”

Lin Wan smiled at her gently and appropriately. “You must be Hua Hua. You are indeed very beautiful. My Name Is Lin Wan. You can call me Auntie Lin. I’m here to look for Yousui…”

“Shut up.” Wen Hua interrupted and looked at her from top to bottom. She sneered, “You are only a few years older than me. If I call you auntie, aren’t you afraid that your life will be shortened?”

Lin Wan was stunned for a moment before she returned to her gentle smile. “I don’t mean any harm. Hua Hua, you don’t have to…”

“Don’t disgust me.” Wen Hua’s voice was low and cold. When she did not smile, her eyes were as cold as Wen Yousui’s. “You’re called Lin Wan? You’re already pregnant and you’re still saying that you don’t mean any harm.”

“Aunt Zhou.” She called the butler. “Why is this woman here? Where’s my father?”

Aunt Zhou sighed. “Miss Lin said she was pregnant. We don’t know the exact situation either. Sir is on his way here.”

Lin Wan was calm and collected. “Three months ago, President Wen was on a business trip in Ming City. Our two companies have a collaboration. That night, we had a meal together. He might have drunk too much…”

“Shut your mouth,” Wen Hua warned.

Thinking of how she had joked not long ago to tell Old Wen not to be seduced by a woman outside, he had made a solemn promise then. What was he now?

What was her mother, who had passed away?

Could Wen Yousui let his mother down?

Wen Yousui entered the door with a sullen face. He immediately saw the woman sitting in the hall and his daughter, who was so angry that her little face was tense.

“What are you doing here?” He questioned Lin Wan coldly.

Judging from his tone, he really knew this woman?
