On the day I was kicked out of my parents’ home, I had a flash marriage with the richest man.

When Dadong saw the crystal clear tears on Peng Zi's face, a sharp pain ran through his heart.

What he hated most was seeing Peng Zi cry.

Because every time he saw her cry, his heart would ache along with her.

Peng Zi also knew this. In the past, whenever she cried, no matter what she asked Dadong to do, he would agree.

However, Dadong hesitated this time.

"Ms. Peng, you really went too far this time. Do you know what Xia Yiyi went through on the boat? She was almost killed by the bandit Zhang! How could you do something that would harm someone's life? That was a real life!"

Peng Zi wiped her tears again, her voice aggrieved, "I just wanted to teach her a lesson! How could I have known that Zhang Fei would hurt her?"

"Do you believe what you said? You know exactly who Zhang Fei is, and you also know that Zhang Fei and Young Master Chu have always been at odds! His group of minions were just arrested, and Zhang Fei hates Young Master Chu and is waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on him! But you gave him such a good opportunity."

"Do you know what this means? If Xia Yiyi falls into his hands, she won't have a good ending! You know it in your heart, right?"

Dadong directly exposed Peng Zi's disguise, making it impossible for Peng Zi to pretend anymore.

Peng Zi wiped away a tear, her red eyes filled with resentment towards Xia Yiyi, "Yes! I know! I know everything, so what! I just hate her, I just can't stand her, I want to teach her a lesson! I want her to know that the consequences of offending me will be dire!"

Peng Zi took a step closer to Dadong, her voice sharp, "We've been together for so many years, you've seen with your own eyes how much I love Chu Shan! To get in his circle, I dyed my hair all kinds of colors and dressed up all day long, just to fit in and become like him! I've sacrificed so much for him, even at the cost of my own reputation, just to hang out with him all day long."

"But what did I get in the end? Everyone thought we would get married in the future, even I thought so! But suddenly Xia Yiyi showed up and disrupted everything!"

"Why does Xia Yiyi deserve this? What has she done for Chu Shan? What has she done for him? Why does she deserve his favor? He even told me and my parents that he would marry Xia Yiyi and would never marry me even if he died!"

Peng Zi slapped her cheeks. "What a slap in the face! What a slap in the face! I was so embarrassed in front of everyone! Shouldn't I hate her? If it weren't for Xia Yiyi, Chu Shan would never have treated me like this! Something that clearly belonged to me was suddenly snatched away by someone else! Shouldn't I hate her?"

Dadong said, "No one can influence matters of the heart. Do you think that if you kidnap Xia Yiyi, teach her a lesson, or even make Xia Yiyi disappear from this world, Chu Shan will change his mind? Xia Yiyi did nothing wrong. Chu Shan was just wishful thinking. I see all of this. She doesn't want anything to do with Chu Shan, nor does she want to get involved in your affairs."

Peng Zi took a deep breath, "Brother Dadong, how long have you known each other? You're actually speaking for her!"

"I……"

Peng Zi was furious. Without giving Dadong a chance to speak, she screamed, "What kind of magic does Xia Yiyi have? Why are you two helping her? We've been friends for years, and you've only known each other for a few days?"

"Do you know her well? She's been involved in scandals outside, and she's been involved with one man after another! She approached Chu Shan for a purpose, don't you understand? And you all fell into her trap!"

"Ms. Peng, I'm not siding with Xia Yiyi. I'm just speaking the truth. Besides, Xia Yiyi is not the kind of person that people comment about online. There's a misunderstanding here! She has her own difficulties." Dadong explained bitterly.

However, Peng Zi refused to listen. Tears welled up in her eyes as she continued to shout, "You all think I'm wrong. Who can understand me? Do you know how much pain I feel in my heart? How much hatred I feel? Why doesn't anyone understand me? I'm in pain too!"

Seeing that Peng Zi was not going to listen to his advice at all, Dadong left after saying a few words.

"Just take care of yourself!"

When Peng Zi saw Dadong was about to leave, her eyes moved and she quickly chased after him from behind, hugged Dadong tightly, and choked with sobs and aggrieved voice, which made people feel distressed.

"Brother Dadong, please don't leave. You're the only one who can help me now. If you don't help me, I'll have no choice but to go to jail! I beg you, for the sake of our long-term friendship, please help me..."

After Chu Shan went out, he got into the car but did not start it.

He is waiting for Dadong.

But twenty minutes passed and Dadong still didn't come out.

Chu Shan started the hidden engine and was about to leave, but Xia Yiyi hurriedly stopped him.

"Wait for him a little longer."

"He won't come out!"

"But we came here together. It wouldn't be nice to leave him alone." Xia Yiyi looked back towards the gate, but there was no sign of Dadong.

Chu Shan snorted, "What do you know?"

"How can I understand if you don't tell me?" Xia Yiyi said with a frown.

"There are some things you should understand even if I don't tell you." Chu Shan said unhappily.

Xia Yiyi's brows furrowed even tighter. "How can I have the time to study you every day?"

Chu Shan glared at Xia Yiyi and started the car.

Xia Yiyi said, "Even if you don't want to wait for him, you should at least give him a call and tell him. It's hard to get a taxi here."

Chu Shan was already angry, thinking that Dadong didn't know right from wrong and was being disloyal. When he heard what Xia Yiyi said, he became even angrier.

"You've only known each other for a few days, and you're so concerned about him?"

Xia Yiyi was speechless. "Isn't this basic courtesy? If friends come together and suddenly leave, shouldn't they tell each other? What does this have to do with caring?"

"Xia Yiyi, you're just trying to match my sharp tongue. Why didn't you say a word in there just now? You're like a mute!"

"I……"

Xia Yiyi was speechless. She puffed out her cheeks, tilted her head to look out the window, and sulked.

Chu Shan glanced at Xia Yiyi in the rearview mirror. With her puffy cheeks and pouting mouth, she looked like a little hamster, very cute.

Chu Shan suppressed the unconscious upward curve of his lips and asked coldly, "Why are you silent?"

Xia Yiyi, "..."

"Where's your sharp tongue?"

Xia Yiyi, "..."

"You're not powerful when you should be, and you're powerful when you shouldn't be!"

Xia Yiyi, "..."

"You're just so mean to me! I was helping you fight the enemy, and you didn't even say thank you and you're still angry with me."

"The cause of this matter is because of you! If you don't tell me and insist on marrying me, will I be hated?" Xia Yiyi was almost mad at Chu Shan.

"Who told you to talk nonsense and bring this unprovoked disaster upon me?"

Chu Shan was silent.

The car arrived downstairs of Xia Yiyi's house. Xia Yiyi opened the door angrily and was about to get out, and Chu Shan spoke.

"Xia Yiyi, how about... let's get married! They already think we're in that kind of relationship! They won't listen to any explanations, so let's just get married without any explanations."

Xia Yiyi's eyes widened in surprise. "What did you say?"
