Reborn and fleeing for his life, he unexpectedly knocks on the door of the prince of Beijing's

The Xi residence is a typical Chinese retro courtyard, exuding power and prestige. It consists of several different parallel courtyards, covering a very large area. There are also partition walls between the courtyards, creating a rich sense of layering while also conveying a sense of distance and oppression.

Just like Xi Maokun.

On the road outside the tall, vermilion gate, under the gloomy sky, only the maple forests on both sides of the road were blood red, forming a stark contrast with the dim sky.

Several black cars screeched and screech on the asphalt road.

The bodyguards outside the Xi residence sensed something was wrong and immediately stepped forward to stop them.

Unexpectedly, the lead black car seemed not to see anyone and, without slowing down at all, drove straight into the tall red gate like a ferocious beast.

There was a loud bang!

The bodyguard dodged quickly and wasn't hit.

However, the vermilion gate of the Xi residence was smashed down solidly.

With a loud thud, it crashed heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust, as if a giant had collapsed, creating a chaotic ripple in the air.

Xi Maokun had just woken up from his afternoon nap and was drinking tea in the courtyard.

After hearing a loud bang, he looked up and saw a menacing black car with its front facing him.

A man sat in the driver's seat, a cigarette dangling from his lips, the other gripping the steering wheel, watching himself through the windshield with amusement.

Xi Maokun looked over.

Gong Xiaochen gave a wicked smile, opened the driver's side door, and his tall and imposing figure stepped out of the car with a deft gait.

The moment he appeared, the air around him seemed to grow heavy. He stepped onto the fallen vermilion gate and strode forward with firm and powerful steps.

Seeing this, the bodyguard stepped forward to stop them.

But Chen Ze and the others followed, standing in two rows beside Gong Xiaochen, and no one could stop him from getting closer and closer to Xi Maokun.

"I was so excited to see the old man that I broke your front door. I hope you won't blame me."

Looking at Gong Xiaochen, who was smiling but hiding a knife, Xi Maokun could roughly guess what he had come for.

"Of course not, all guests are welcome, and besides, you're still a junior." His face showed no sign of disarray, as if he didn't care at all what had just happened.

"Actually, I've wanted to visit you for a long time, but I'm not very well-mannered and don't know any etiquette. I was afraid that I would offend you if I came, so I haven't come yet."

Gong Xiaochen sat down, exuding a powerful aura while also radiating an unrestrained and wild spirit, as if he were about to sweep away everything around him.

Xi Maokun glanced at the knocked-down door and smiled calmly, "Really? I remember Young Master Gong was quite polite before."

"Ah, so that's what the old man did that made me suddenly lose my sense of manners..."

A maid came to bring tea.

The steaming teacup had just been placed on the tea table when Gong Xiaochen immediately stubbed out the cigarette he hadn't finished smoking into it.

Xi Maokun's cloudy eyes narrowed immediately, flashing with a sharp intent.

"Playing riddles is quite boring. Young Master Gong, what do you want to do by suddenly visiting? Just say it directly."

"It's nothing, I just heard that my woman was wronged at the Xi residence last night, so I came to ask for an explanation."

The two stared at each other, and a silent contest slowly unfolded.

......

Xi Yu left after having lunch with Wen Shengsheng.

Wen Shengsheng injured her leg and was temporarily unable to walk, so he got her a wheelchair and arranged for Aunt Chen to come and take care of her these past two days.

But Wen Shengsheng waited all afternoon, and Aunt Chen never showed up.

Fortunately, ordering takeout is very convenient nowadays. It's normal that Aunt Chen can't leave because Xi has a lot of things to do at home.

So Wen Shengsheng didn't pay any attention, ate a little something, and started studying the contents of Xi Yu's file folder.

Although she clearly stated that she didn't want it, Xi Yu still forced her to have it.

She took a look and saw that it included not only real estate, but also shops and a four-star hotel.

Wen Shengsheng felt that the hotel looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it before.

But what surprised her the most were those properties.

She only realized that Yunding Lake Residence was actually registered in her name when she saw the property certificate!

Moreover, judging from the timeline, Xi Yu bought this villa half a year ago.

Yesterday she was working hard to make money by trading futures, who would have thought she would become rich overnight?

Wen Shengsheng stared at these things for the entire afternoon, feeling no joy, but rather a mix of emotions.

An indescribable heaviness swirled in her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.

Click.

As evening approached, the lock on the front door suddenly clicked.

Wen Shengsheng glanced at her watch; it was almost dinnertime.

"Aunt Chen, is that you?" she asked.

The door was opened from the outside.

Aunt Chen didn't come.

Gong Xiaochen has arrived...

Seeing Gong Xiaochen return, Wen Shengsheng was slightly taken aback, and then belatedly realized something.

Only Xi Yu and himself possess the key to Jiuru Mansion.

Where did Gong Xiaochen get the key?

She was so busy being angry this morning that she didn't pay attention to this part.

"Why do you have the key to this place?" she asked.

"Can't I have it? Is Xi Yu the only one allowed to have it?"

Gong Xiaochen stared blankly at Wen Shengsheng in her wheelchair, then sat down on the mahogany sofa behind her, exuding a cold aura.

Upon hearing this, Wen Shengsheng immediately lost the desire to communicate and pushed her wheelchair away.

Gong Xiaochen pressed her down to the spot.

He lowered his eyes to examine Wen Shengsheng and the property certificate she had spread out on the coffee table, raised an eyebrow, and spoke in an unusually cold and hard tone.

"You're eloping? You've prepared so much stuff?"

Wen Shengsheng's previously calmed emotions were instantly reignited by a raging fire of anger.

Who are you implying is someone else?!

"Am I being sarcastic?" Gong Xiaochen grabbed the back of her neck, making Wen Shengsheng look directly at him. "Don't think I don't know about your little dealings with Xi Yu. Wen Shengsheng, you're my girlfriend now, and I've been very tolerant of you!"

"Ha~" Wen Shengsheng laughed angrily, "Tolerance? Who needs your tolerance? What have you tolerated about me?"

"You just want to have a legitimate reason to play around with women outside, why make up such a despicable excuse? Just because you're dirty doesn't mean everyone else has to be dirty with you, Young Master Gong!"

Gong Xiaochen didn't reply. Instead, he took out his phone, opened a video, and turned Wen Shengsheng's head to show it to her.

After leaving Jasmine Mansion, he had someone record a video of his cousins ​​from the Xia family, detailing how Gong Zekai had planned things for them, how he had drugged Gong Xiaochen's drink, and the circumstances under which Xia Xiaobai and Gong Xiaochen had taken those kinds of photos.

“After I realized I had been drugged, I first asked Chen Ze and Xie Yi to take me away. I was drugged and slept until dawn, and then I came to find you. That’s the whole story.” He added.

Gong Xiaochen didn't want to bring up this memory again, because being betrayed by his family was already humiliating and infuriating enough.

However, he said he would give Wen Shengsheng an explanation.

Without this video, Wen Shengsheng would never get over that hurdle with him.

Wen Shengsheng stared at his phone twice, without saying a word from beginning to end.

But his fists clenched unconsciously.

Seeing that she didn't move, Gong Xiaochen moved his face closer and gently rubbed his cheek against her round and delicate face.

"Is there anything else you don't understand?"

Wen Shengsheng lowered her eyes, her head bowed, seemingly lost in thought.

"What do you mean by not saying anything? Weren't you very arrogant when you were calling me dirty just now?"

His breath hit Wen Shengsheng's face as he spoke, and she turned her head away uncomfortably, still rejecting his approach.

Gong Xiaochen narrowed his sharp eyes and bit her earlobe directly.

"Ugh..." Wen Shengsheng cried out in pain as she pushed him away.

Gong Xiaochen restrained Wen Shengsheng's hands, wrapped his long arms around her, and spoke in a cold and chilling tone.

"That day at the Xi family's, did your brother Yu bite you like this too?"

Wen Shengsheng's pupils dilated, and her body froze instantly.
