My sister regretted sending me to the correctional facility.

I talked a lot with Lin Xia about her past.

That's when I found out.

It turns out that Lin Xia's past was also that of an unhappy little girl.

Because she was a girl, she was always questioned and looked down upon regarding her status as an heir.

Lin Xia's father outwardly claimed he would hand over the family fortune to her.

But secretly he married a new wife and had a new son.

Although this son's bloodline is not pure.

These behaviors can be used to make a judgment.

Lin Xia's father never actually intended to pass on his family fortune to her.

Lin Xia has known this since she was a child.

She became much more hardworking than her peers!

This is why Lin Xia has always had top grades since she started school, and why she was able to study abroad.

Through her hard work, Lin Xia proved that she is no less capable than anyone else!

And it was also because Lin Xia's achievements were dazzling enough.

This made it impossible for her father to ignore her, and silenced the gossips of the executives at Xia Tian Group.

Lin Xia finally secured her position as general manager at Xia Tian Group.

We talked for a long time that night.

The two hit it off as they talked, feeling a sense of kinship as fellow sufferers.

Finally, Lin Xia suggested going to a bar for a drink.

I thought Lin Xia went to bars often.

But I later found out that Lin Xia didn't actually like going to bars.

Even the bar she opened herself was only for business purposes, not because she liked it.

But tonight, she felt the atmosphere had been perfectly set.

You can go to a bar, sit down, chat, and have a long talk.

Then, Lin Xia and I didn't go to her bar.

Instead, they randomly picked a small bar on the street.

There weren't many people inside.

Lin Xia and I went inside and ordered two drinks casually.

Then we sat down by the window.

Tonight, my role is that of a listener.

I rarely see Lin Xia have so much to say.

Perhaps it was because she had been holding it in for too long.

Perhaps she simply couldn't find anyone to confide in.

So once she started talking, she just wouldn't stop.

She talked about everything from her childhood to reading.

Then we talked about her family and when we were in high school.

We also talked about the fun times we had when we were in school together.

It's just when this topic comes up.

Lin Xia said with some resentment, "Lu Yi, back then, your eyes were only on Gu Yao, and you couldn't see anyone else."

I gave an awkward smile after hearing that.

"Really? By the way, whose songs did you like to listen to in high school? I remember you sang a song on stage at a talent show one day, and it was pretty good!"

I could only pretend to be stupid to change the subject.

Lin Xia chuckled, then said irritably, "Lu! Yi! You're mistaken! I'm not the one singing, I'm the one dancing!"

"what?!"

Now I was even more embarrassed, and I wished I could find a hole in the ground and crawl into it right away.

Lin Xia is very kind; she didn't continue to make things difficult for me.

Instead, she suddenly stood up and looked at me with her flushed face.

"Lu Yi! Do you want to see me dance the dance I did in high school again!"

"This time, I'm only dancing for you!"

When I heard this, my heart started racing slightly.

"Okay, okay."

I nodded, and couldn't help but swallow.

Tonight, Lin Xia wore an elegant white dress and crystal stilettos, looking like a graceful and dignified princess.

She stood in the aisle, like a swan gracefully dancing, her pretty face slightly flushed, swaying in the dim light.

I could tell that Lin Xia hadn't danced in a long time.

She seemed to have forgotten how to move, and her movements were even a little clumsy, no longer possessing the agility of a high school girl.

But it's still very beautiful, and it still reminds me of the wonderful days of high school.

The dance ended.

Lin Xia suddenly covered her flushed face shyly and ran to her seat.

Because while she was dancing, guests at other tables cast admiring and curious glances at her.

Everyone was looking at her, which made her a little shy.

I smiled and said, "You danced beautifully just now, it was really great!"

Lin Xia's face turned even redder.

She playfully scolded, "Lu Yi, you're just trying to make me happy! I know I've forgotten a lot of the moves, and my dancing must have looked terrible!"

I laughed and shook my head, denying her.

"How could that be! You danced beautifully. Compared to your high school days, you may have lost some of the agility, but you've gained a lot of charm!"

Lin Xia opened her hands, which were covering her face, by two fingers, revealing her beautiful, peeking eyes.

She looked at me with a smile: "Is everything you said true?"

"Of course!" I nodded quickly.

I finally made Lin Xia happy.

She laughed happily, temporarily forgetting all her bad worries!

Drinking for a long time.

I felt the urge to urinate, so I said I was going to the toilet.

Lin Xia smiled and nodded, then waited for me in her seat.

After I finished using the toilet, I was just about to turn around and unlock the door to leave.

I suddenly realized that the door lock wouldn't turn.

Then I twisted it for a long time.

It was finally confirmed that the door was locked from the outside.

I thought it was a cleaning worker's mistake that locked me inside.

So I instinctively wanted to call for help.

Ask someone outside to open the toilet door for me.

But the next second.

I suddenly felt inexplicably excited.

wrong!

It's 2 a.m.!

How could a cleaner possibly be cleaning the toilet at this time?

Logically, cleaners should come to work in the morning to clean.

The only person who can lock my door now.

Unless he did it unintentionally.

Otherwise, he did it on purpose!

Suddenly, I sobered up immediately.

Someone might be waiting for me outside!

Who would want to attack me at this time?

Zhao Ming?

Or is it Liu Chaoyang?

Besides these two people, I can't think of a third one right now!

So I immediately took out my phone and pulled out my contacts.

I did not contact Lin Xia.

Lin Xia is inside the bar. If she finds out I'm being cornered, she'll definitely come to my rescue.

At that time, the people blocking my way outside might try to take action against Lin Xia.

I contacted Shen Zuo directly.

As the company's security guard, he has to be of use to me in critical moments!

I messaged Shen Zuo and asked him to bring some people to the bar where I was.

Shen Zuo was also a night owl, and he happened to be out partying late at night with a group of his underlings.

Upon receiving the message, he immediately said he would come over.

However, upon further reflection, I realized that Shen Zuo's men were all all show and no substance.

It looks nice but is useless!

Who else can I turn to for help?

Suddenly, I thought of Wei Liu, the owner of the barbecue restaurant I frequent.

He is a retired soldier with considerable skill; he is more than capable of dealing with ordinary people.

But I'm not sure if he'd be willing to help me, since we're not related.

So, as a last resort, I sent him a message asking for help.

After sending the message, I put my phone away.

Because I suddenly heard the sound of the door lock being turned from the outside!
