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

Everything around seemed to stand still.

Wen Shengsheng trembled slightly and quickly asked, "You mean Xi Ruifeng, right?"

Lin Bin shook his head. "It was Xi Yu, Young Master Xi, but you later ran to the next room and were rescued by that Gong Xiaochen. I didn't do my job well and was afraid that Young Master Xi would punish me, so I ran away that night."

"After hiding outside for more than two months, I ran out of money. Seeing that there was no movement in Beijing, I came back to work. After all, you can earn more as a waiter in a wealthy family compound."

"Do you have any evidence to prove what you said? Otherwise, I can say that you deliberately lied to me!" Wen Shengsheng still didn't believe it.

“I have a record on my phone, you can check it.” Lin Bin immediately pointed to his phone in his pocket.

“I have a recording! Even Lin Yong didn’t know about this. It was Young Master Xi who personally told me about it. I found it unbelievable at the time and was afraid of getting into trouble later, so I made a recording to keep myself safe.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Ling immediately pulled out Lin Bin's phone from his pocket, found the recording, and played it.

Xi Yu's cold and deep voice came through the phone.

"There's a packet of medicine in here. Find a way to put it in Wen Shengsheng's wine glass, make her drink it, and then when she's drunk, take her upstairs to room 303."

“Remember, I’m talking about 303. Don’t even think about dumping her anywhere, and don’t even think about taking advantage of her on the street. This is a garden villa, and every move she makes is under my watch. If anything happens to her, I’ll take your life! Understand?”

......

Wen Shengsheng's legs went weak, and she uncontrollably sat down on the cold floor.

But what's even colder is her heart...

Xi Yu...it's actually Xi Yu...

She had considered countless people who might harm her, but she never imagined that all the tragedies of her previous life came from Xi Yu.

Why is all this happening?

Why did he do that...?

Seeing that Wen Shengsheng's face was deathly pale, Huo Ling took the recording from Lin Bin's phone and then deleted the original audio from his phone.

"Kid, if you want to live, keep this to yourself from today onwards. Leave Beijing tonight and never come back. Understand?"

"Yes, yes, I'm leaving. I'll never come back. I'll never dare to do it again."

After being tied up by Huo Lingsong, Lin Bin got up and ran away, disappearing into the night in no time.

Wen Shengsheng stared blankly at the shimmering pool water before her, her mind a jumble of thoughts.

After a long while, she seemed to remember something and suddenly grabbed Huo Ling's arm.

"Brother-in-law, don't tell anyone about this, not even my cousin."

“If Gong Xiaochen finds out, he won’t let Brother Yu off the hook. They’re cooperating now, and I can’t cause any conflict because of him.”

"Brother-in-law knows." Huo Ling helped her stand up and pulled her to sit on the wooden chair next to him.

"Don't panic. After all, this hasn't happened yet. As for why Xi Yu would do this, perhaps you already know the answer in your heart," Huo Ling said slowly.

Answer...

What is the answer...?

In a daze, Wen Shengsheng thought of that night in the garden villa in her previous life.

As soon as she was brought into room 303, Xi Yu hugged her and kept kissing her.

She was still relatively conscious because the effects of the medication hadn't fully kicked in yet.

Xi Yu had been taking Chinese medicine for a long time, and his frantic behavior terrified her. He kept calling her name, roughly stripped off all her clothes, and pinned her to the bed.

Then they naturally started having sex.

That night was chaotic and long, and her memory was fragmented. She only remembered that the next day, before dawn, Li Wanqiu led her people in and rushed in.

Seeing her and Xi Yu lying in bed, Li Wanqiu was furious and tried to hit her.

Xi Yu, still somewhat dazed, shielded her from several slaps.

She was completely stunned at the time, and in her panic, she quickly hugged herself, afraid that others would see her body.

Surprisingly, even though she had taken off her coat, she was still wearing a long dress when she went to sleep, with everything covered except for her arms.

Xi Yu fared even worse; her entire upper body was exposed...

Then the two of them were taken to the hall of the garden villa, where, in front of all the guests, Xi Yu admitted to the affair and promised to marry her.

Xi Maokun was furious, but with so many people watching, he had no choice but to admit it.

Huo Ling quietly smoked a cigarette beside her. Seeing Wen Shengsheng's expression sometimes serious and sometimes frightened, he couldn't help but ask.

"Did you think of something?"

Wen Shengsheng stared into the distance without saying a word.

Huo Ling sighed, "I've heard your sister talk about you and Xi Yu for many years. Actually, there are many strange things about him."

Wen Shengsheng finally moved her lifeless eyes. "Where?"

"He's a rich kid. What kind of experience would make him run away from home for five years in a fit of pique? Have you ever thought about that?"

Wen Shengsheng lowered her head. "I asked him, but he didn't want to talk about it."

"Then let's talk about their family. He lives in Beijing and has been living in your house for five years, but his family knows nothing about it. Don't you think that's ridiculous? Xi Maokun is capable of finding anyone, not just in the whole country, but all over the world. Yet his precious son has been living in your house for five years and he doesn't even know it!"

Wen Shengsheng was slightly taken aback. She suddenly remembered that when she treated Xi Yu at the hospital, he didn't have anything to prove his identity. After that, when he went out to work, he always chose places that didn't require him to register his identity.

"Are you saying that Brother Yu did it on purpose, that he didn't want to go home, and that he deliberately hid all his information?"

Huo Ling nodded, "Don't be fooled by their glamorous lives in wealthy families. Their real lives are far more complicated than those of ordinary people. Their family interests are too intertwined, and they have no say in many things. In fact, each of them is just a tool in their family and has no freedom in their entire lives."

"Jingjing told me that during the years Xi Yu took care of you, he did all sorts of hard jobs, like delivering food and carrying bricks on construction sites. It's impossible for someone who took such good care of you not to have feelings for you..."

A sudden gust of cold wind rushed into her heart, and Wen Shengsheng felt terribly cold all over.

It felt as if something inside her was being torn apart by the wind, the pain was excruciating, and she couldn't help but hug herself tightly.

"Stop talking, brother-in-law!"

Huo Ling extinguished his cigarette. "Well, you know some things in your heart. Now that you've chosen Gong Xiaochen, just be with him. You saved Xi Yu, so it's only right that he treats you well. Don't feel any burden."

"Let's pretend this never happened, keep it buried in our hearts forever, and never mention it again."

Wen Shengsheng was in a daze when Huo Ling took her back to the banquet hall.

Fortunately, Gong Xiaochen was still in the tea room and had not come out.

Huo Ling had other things to do, so after offering her a few words of comfort, he left first.

Wen Shengsheng drank several glasses of wine at the table before her body slowly warmed up.

She was slightly drunk.

Gong Xiaochen had just come out of the tea room with a punk-style pretty girl on his arm. The two were chatting and laughing, looking very familiar with each other.
