Qiao Xuwen's face instantly turned extremely ugly, as if he felt that Yu Wan was secretly mocking him as a stingy person.

His voice dropped. "That's why I asked you to do this."

Yu Wan had a worried look on her face. "If I could have said something about such a big thing, I wouldn't be standing here."

Qiao Xuwen's face turned even uglier. Yu Wan saw the opportunity to remedy the situation, "I'll do my best."

Although he was in a bad mood, Qiao Xuwen could only suppress his temper and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

Yu Wan rolled her eyes inwardly.

That night, Yu Wan stayed in Yu Xinxin's room.

As soon as it was dawn, the old guys in the villa started knocking on the door to wake her up.

Yu Wan glanced at the clock. It was only five in the morning.

After washing up and going downstairs with my shoes on, I saw a group of old-fashioned people being served breakfast by servants.

Yu Wan pulled out a stool and sat down, yawned a few times, and greeted everyone.

Qiao Xuwen said with a stern face that she was greedy for enjoyment and didn't get up even when the sun was already shining on her butt. She would never accomplish anything great in the future.

Yu Wan listened attentively with her head lowered, and kept saying "You are right".

Qiao Xuwen calmed down a little after the scolding. He was very angry last night because of the indirect criticism. Now he finally felt better. He hummed and agreed with her to start eating.

Only then did Yu Wan pick up the chopsticks.

Amid the sound of dishes and chopsticks, the servant handed over the morning newspaper.

The headlines reported that Huo Chuyan bought a one-of-a-kind diamond necklace at a Christie's auction in the United States for over 78 million U.S. dollars, which was truly extravagant.

Second wife Yang Shiyu looked at the newspaper with envy, "Five hundred million! Who can wear this necklace?"

When the eldest wife Wen Shanshan heard this, she touched the jade pendant on her chest.

This piece of jade was a wedding gift given to her by the Qiao family when she married Qiao Wang. It is the only gift they have received in all these years.

This jade Buddha amulet that was worth more than HK$6 million was considered a rare item back then, but compared with the "unparalleled" piece that Huo Chuyan bought this time, it is simply not worth mentioning.

Wen Shanshan glanced at the cheap pearl necklace around Yang Shiyu's neck and immediately felt better.

Even though this was the only thing he had, it was at least better than all the junk Yang Shiyu had combined.

As for Yu Xinxin, let alone her, she doesn't even have any jewelry.

Thinking of this, Wen Shanshan felt a little better. She took a sip of tea and said contemptuously, "Aren't you just idle? Today you're comparing clothes with others, and tomorrow you're comparing transportation. Could it be that the master has been treating you badly all these years?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xuwen glanced at Yang Shiyu calmly. Yang Shiyu cursed the old witch inwardly, but said sweetly, "Of course the master treats me well. Who can refuse a sparkling diamond? I just mentioned it casually, but the eldest wife seems to want to push me into the spotlight, thinking you want to make the family restless."

"You..." Wen Shanshan was choked.

"I'm full." Yu Wan suddenly stood up to interrupt them and immediately announced her departure. "Enjoy your meal. I have to go back to Hong Kong to work."

As she was about to leave with her bag, Qiao Xuwen's voice came from behind her, reminding her not to forget about the gallery.

Yu Wan didn't care at all and left.

Yu Xinxin is no longer in their hands, so what else can they use to threaten her?

After walking out of the villa gate, Yu Wan drove back to her apartment in Hong Kong Island to catch up on her sleep.

She slept until half an hour before work when her phone vibrated and woke her up. The caller ID showed a number she didn't recognize.

After the call was connected, the other party politely said, "Ms. Yu, your clothes have expired after four years of storage. Would you like to continue to store them here after you return from Florence?"

Four years passed in the blink of an eye.

The next day the package was sent by a BJ company.

When I opened it, I saw layers of packaging tightly protecting the coat.

The black cashmere fabric is sandwiched between pear paper and is well protected from moisture.

Touching the soft and still warm clothes, Yu Wan seemed to be instantly brought back to the winter of her eighteenth year, to the dusk of the day when she first met Huo Chuyan on the top of the mountain.

That year, she almost caused Qiao Shuqi's death. Qiao Xuwen locked her up for three whole days and then took her to his family to apologize.

The small stones pierced into my knees, and the pain was like needles piercing into the bones.

In the afternoon, Qiao Xuwen came out of the room and said she could come out.

She asked why.

Qiao Xuwen said lightly, because someone will make up for your mistakes.

From then on, Yu Xinxin took more medicine and suffered more.

No matter how frantically you resist, in the end you will only end up with a few more scars.

Finally one day, she calmed down and left the house in a daze.

She walked around aimlessly in various places, occasionally climbing a mountain and standing on the top of the mountain in a daze.

There was a cool breeze at night, and I watched the lights in the city below the mountain twinkling and the moon rising.

Suddenly a car stopped nearby and he got out and put a piece of clothing on her.

Asked softly: "Have you eaten?"

Tears just flowed down my face for no apparent reason.

He took her back to his house and the servant cooked her a big bowl of hot noodles.

She wolfed down her first meal in two days. Huo Chuyan told her there was hot water in the bathroom and asked her to take a shower and rest.

Then she hid in the bathtub and burst into tears.

The next morning, before anyone else woke up, she quietly left the villa and took away the coat Huo Chuyan gave her.

In the blink of an eye, six years have passed.

At that time, she didn't know what admiration was.

At that time, she just wanted to live like him, at least live like a normal person.

So I began to pay attention to his whereabouts involuntarily, carefully imitated his words and deeds, and later followed the guidance of my heart to get closer to him, breathing every breath of air he had ever existed.

Unconsciously, I placed him in an important position in my heart and foolishly followed in his footsteps.

In fact, she didn't care under what pretext she stayed with Huo Chuyan. As long as she could love him like this, it was enough, and she didn't even need any response from him.

As long as he was there, she could feel a ray of light in the darkness.

Until now.

She had never expected to truly possess that light.

A tropical cyclone was blowing outside, and a storm warning was issued for Hong Kong Island. The weather was extremely hot and humid, and the gallery business was slow. Yu Wan left work early and went home. On the way, she met Wei Size drinking tea in a tea restaurant. The two had dinner together and went back to the neighborhood where they lived.

Wei Size politely opened the door for her, and they walked into the building one after another. As a result, there was a scandal headline about the two of them in the news the next day.

Yu Wan hurried to find Wei Size and told him about this.

Wei Size looked at the photos in the newspaper. The angles of the candid photos really made people misunderstand that the two of them were in love.

He smiled and said, "This photo is much better than my brother's."
