Hong Kong is in full swing

The silver knife reflected a cold light, clearly showing her icy eyes.

Then, she turned the blade towards Qiao Shuqie, and a murderous aura suddenly emerged.

Although her movements were slow, they seemed extremely determined.

Qiao Shuqi noticed her intention and immediately held on to the armrest of the chair, his eyes becoming extremely alert.

The tension in the air seemed to freeze.

Yu Wan smiled coldly, then slowly put down the knife.

She felt a little more relaxed.

not bad.

She still remembered how scared she had been of him.

At that time, Qiao Shuqi came from the master's family, and all the members of the Qiao family revolved around him and obeyed his orders.

But she was just an ordinary girl at that time and didn't dare to resist at all.

The servants were busy serving food and adding wine. When Qiao Shucheng saw a servant about to pour wine for Qiao Shuqian, he shouted, "Fourth sister."

His voice echoed throughout the restaurant, causing everyone to stop what they were doing.

"Didn't you see that Master Kari's cup was empty?"

His words were full of reproach, making Wen Huiying's face flush.

Everyone at the table turned their attention here.

Yang Shiyu and Qiao Heng looked like they were watching the fun, their eyes full of gloating; Wen Huiying and Qiao Shucheng exchanged glances, their eyes full of malice.

Behind all this, Qiao Shuqi was calmly waiting for what would happen next, as if everything was under his control.

Yu Wan slowly wiped her mouth, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, "Of course I dare to pour it, but does he dare to drink it?"

Her voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for everyone present to hear.

Qiao Shuqi's expression turned extremely ugly, almost twisting into a terrifying smile. "If Miss Xiaowan dares to pour, I will definitely drink it."

He spoke through gritted teeth, his heart filled with anger and unwillingness.

So Yu Wan stood up, holding the bottle of wine in her backhand, and walked straight towards him.

She didn't look like she was going to pour wine for others, but rather like she was going to fight with them.

Her aura was so strong that Qiao Shuqi immediately sat up straight and stared at her nervously.

Yu Wan gave him a scornful smile, then picked up the wine glass and poured him a glass.

"please."

That tone seemed like a gift to him.

It seemed as if the person who should be complimented today was not him, Qiao Shuqie, but her, Yu Wan.

Qiao Shuqi held the cup, his face gloomy and uncertain.

That person is right, he should be uneasy.

The fishbone stuck in her throat seemed to remind her of her discomfort every minute and every second.

It was like an inescapable problem that kept bothering her.

They are really getting bolder, as if those who once hid in the shadows are now boldly revealing their intentions and thoughts as time goes by.

The atmosphere of the entire Qiao family dinner was particularly weird.

The people at the table seemed to be getting along harmoniously on the surface, but in fact they all had their own ulterior motives.

The eye contact between them was full of impatience and hostility.

These people who seem to be very close on the surface but actually can't wait to see each other off gathered together.

Everyone had the same thought in their mind: end this fake dinner party as soon as possible and go their separate ways.

Everyone was saying things that were so false that it was disgusting, and they were trying hard to act as if nothing had happened, with a forced smile on their face.

This kind of smile not only failed to ease any tense atmosphere, but made people feel more depressed.

Create an illusion of happiness.

There was laughter at the table, but it sounded more like a cacophony of noise.

Everyone tried to make the scene seem real and believable, but the harder they tried to pretend, the more their hypocritical nature became apparent.

He kept saying nice things to flatter Qiao Shuqie.

Polite and flattering words followed one after another, trying to win the favor of the new favorite of the family.

This kind of flattering behavior seems to have become a necessary ritual, which makes people feel extremely awkward.

Yu Wan felt disgusted after hearing this and didn't want to waste any more time pretending.

Her patience had reached its limit, and she decided not to continue participating in this meaningless performance.

After she finished her meal, she stood up and said, "I'm done, you guys take your time and enjoy it."

There was an unmistakable irony in his words.

Since Qiao Peifeng was not around and Qiao Shucheng's authority in the family was not high enough, these people gathered together just to curry favor with Qiao Shucheng.

Apart from Wen Huiying, no one really wanted to celebrate Qiao Shuqi's release from prison.

As for the attitudes of Qiao Peifeng and Qiao Shucheng, everyone is taking a wait-and-see approach in order to gain the greatest benefits.

Yu Wan doesn't care about Qiao Peifeng or Qiao Shucheng, so naturally she won't give face to anyone.

In her opinion, everything these people did was just for their own benefit.

She went upstairs and returned to Yu Peinian's room to see if there was anything she could bring her.

Although the room was neatly arranged and fully stocked, she still hoped to find some small things that could bring comfort to her sister.

Yu Peinian is in better and better condition now. Every time the whole family hears news about her, they feel relieved.

Last time, Li Xing called suddenly and said that Yu Peinian had been awake for three minutes.

During that time, she behaved exceptionally normally, giving everyone endless hope.

She immediately asked to speak to her mother on the phone.

It took a long time before a voice came from the other end. It might be that the hospital's arrangements needed time to be confirmed before the mother and daughter could talk.

Finally, when the familiar voice came through the airwaves, the first words Yu Peinian said were, "I miss you so much."

Hearing this, Yu Wan burst into tears instantly.

Years of concern and worry turned into tears of emotion at this moment.

She choked up and responded to her mother, saying that she missed her very much too.

Although the language is short and simple, the sincere emotion is enough to cross the distance and touch the softest part of each other's heart.

During the short call of a few minutes, the mother and daughter kept crying into the phone.

This is not just a simple communication, but also a deep spiritual connection.

It seemed like the pain of more than ten years had finally eased and I felt a little bit of sweetness.

The various torments they had endured over the years were finally relieved at this moment, and their longing for each other was comforted.

But soon, three minutes and fifteen seconds after the call started, Yu Peinian's mind began to blur again.

She held the phone tightly and asked Yu Peinian when she would come home from school, and even fantasized about cooking a bowl of her favorite corn and pork ribs soup for her.

The lips were bitten and bleeding.

Faced with such a cruel fact, it becomes very difficult even to be strong.

And those three minutes and fifteen seconds remained in her memory forever.

This was the first time that Yu Peinian was able to have a complete communication with others since she became mentally ill.

So angry!

I'm really furious!

The shameless old man Qiao Peifeng actually forced himself upon the young girl, imprisoned her by his side, and cut off all her contact with the outside world.

He constantly instilled in her a distorted worldview, constantly belittling and destroying her dignity as a human being.
