She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

Those fine, intertwined, new and old overlapping scars that have been hidden for a long time still make people feel shocking when they are revealed again.

It has been lying on my wrist for two years.

I closed my eyes and could still see the wounds, bloody and like a gaping mouth.

The pain still remains on my wrist.

But it was me who cut those wounds. After cutting those wounds, what I felt was not pain, but... relief.

Yes, for me at that time, continuing to live in this world was the most painful thing, and death was the only way to salvation for me.

So I cut my wounds again and again, but my aunt and uncle took me to the hospital for emergency treatment in time. I was pulled back from the brink of death again and again, and fell into the abyss of despair again and again, unable to climb out. It was so painful...

How did I survive in the end?

I think it might be the tearful eyes of my aunt and uncle, or it might be the soft little hand of Nannan on my cheek, or it might be that I finally understood that death is a coward's escape, and a brave person should climb out of the abyss and fight against the murderer!

Who brought me so much pain?

It’s the Zhou family, it’s Zhou Hanzhi, and it’s myself.

It was because I was infatuated with Zhou Hanzhi and gave him everything I had, which made Zhou Hanzhi feel annoyed and afraid of being entangled by me.

Because Zhou Hanzhi was eager to get rid of me, his bootlicker, he used lies to steady me and asked me to continue waiting for him.

That's why that person was so worried and attacked grandma, which made me give up my greed for Zhou Hanzhi.

I didn't let myself go, which is why I wanted to die to atone for my sins again and again, but I also won't let the murderer go.

When I opened my eyes again, I was in tears. I put the wristband I had just sewn back on my wrist to cover up those ugly and scary scars, and also hid the hatred deep in my heart.

Grandma, don't worry, I will make the murderer go to hell to make amends for you, and I will make sure that everyone who hurt you is dead!

Before going to bed, I habitually checked my phone and set the alarm for the next day. I didn't forget that I still had to go to the Yuan family's old house with Xiao Ye tomorrow.

However, my finger accidentally clicked on the call log, and I unexpectedly found that I had an extra call record.

It was that strange foreign number.

It called me once before, but it hung up when I was about to answer it, so I ignored it.

But my cell phone call records showed that it called again later, and I answered the call this time. The call record lasted for two minutes.

But I have no recollection of this at all. I don't remember answering the phone at all, and I don't remember what I said to the other party in those two minutes.

After thinking about it, I called the number back directly.

The other party must have something to talk to me about, otherwise, they wouldn't call me again. Although I don't remember answering the call, I want to confirm now who called and what they want from me.

However, a cold mechanical voice came from the microphone, which was an English prompt, telling me that the other party's number could not be connected.

I didn't believe it, so I called twice more, but the result was the same: I couldn't get through.

If the other party's phone is turned off, the voice prompt should be "powered off" instead of "unable to connect".

"It's indeed a foreign telecommunications scam! What a waste of my energy." I frowned and angrily marked the number as a scam number.

This is a standard scam. This number will always be able to call you, but you will never be able to get through when you call back.

I think the reason why there was a record of the previous call that lasted two minutes was definitely because I accidentally touched the phone screen and the call was connected by chance, but I didn’t talk to the other party at all. The other party must have hung up the phone without getting any useful information from me.

The next day, I got up early and went to the Yuan family's old house with Ono.

When I first entered the room, I met the servant I had seen last time, and I quietly asked her, "Are Uncle Yuan and Sister Min up yet? Will we disturb their rest if we go in at this time?"

I asked the question very skillfully. On the surface, I was asking whether it would disturb Mr. Yuan and Sister Min's rest, but in fact, I wanted to find out from the servants whether the two of them had reconciled.

After all, Sister Min was very mean to Mr. Yuan yesterday, and I’m worried that she still refuses to reconcile with Mr. Yuan.

"The master picked up his wife last night and they both rested in the master bedroom. But in the middle of the night, the master came out and went to sleep in the study with a quilt in his arms." The servant said with a smile, his tone steady without the slightest fluctuation.

Xiao Ye and I stopped and looked at each other.

The servant was a smart man and spoke only objective facts. He didn't say much at all. However, any smart person could guess that Mr. Yuan must have had another quarrel with Sister Min last night, which was why he was driven out to sleep in the study.

It seems that the relationship between Sister Min and Mr. Yuan has not yet been completely reconciled.

But what was the reason? Sister Min was not a confused person. Even if she was emotional for a while and was angry because of the chat records between Mrs. Su and Mr. Yuan, she would understand after she calmed down that she was just overthinking and blaming the wrong person.

Moreover, the fact that she was able to go back to the old house with Mr. Yuan last night showed that she had already forgiven Mr. Yuan in her heart, and was at least willing to give him a chance to make peace.

These two people were already living together last night, why did they start quarreling again in the middle of the night?

"Besides the two of them, was there anyone else at home last night?" Ono thought for a moment and asked the servant again.

The servant still had the same expression, with his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and replied in a low voice: "Last night, the eldest master suddenly came back and went to discuss something with the master."

Young master.

I quickly realized that he was talking about Ono's half-brother, Yuan Lao's first son Yuan Youan.

Although I have never met the eldest son of the Yuan family, I have heard Wu Ling gossip about him before. He is quite powerful.

Unlike Ono, the youngest son who grew up in a spoiled state, Yuan Youan was trained to be the pillar of the Yuan family since he was a child. He was deliberately fed a lot of hardships when he was a child, and finally he successfully trained to become the pillar and successor of the Yuan family.

Now, this eldest son of the Yuan family works in the Yuan family's company. It is said that he is very capable and powerful. He has helped the family business to close many deals and facilitate many collaborations.

Moreover, this guy is a workaholic. He moved out of the Yuan family early for work and bought a house near the company to live in. He basically never goes back to the old house, so I didn’t see this guy at all when I came to the Yuan family last time.

Yesterday was not a holiday or a special day. Why did Yuan Youan rush back to the Yuan family’s old house in the middle of the night?

"What did he talk about with the old man?" Ono's face suddenly became serious.

I also think that Sister Min’s anger with Mr. Yuan might have something to do with Yuan Youan.
