Seeing Ren Rongxue crying like this, Liu Lanying was really worried sick.

"Speak up, Xue'er, what's wrong? Don't scare your mother."

Ren Rongxue cried for a while before telling Liu Lanying what had happened. Liu Lanying was stunned after hearing the story.

"What did you just say? If the person in the room isn't Cui Qinghe, then who is it? Who is that man?"

Everything was going perfectly according to plan, but this unexpected turn of events was the worst possible outcome of all the anticipated results, and Liu Lanying panicked.

"I don't know, I don't know who that man is..."

After Ren Rongxue finished speaking, she cried even louder, her voice becoming completely hoarse.

"All I know is that man is disgusting. He raped me, he defiled my innocence, I can't face anyone anymore. Mom, if this gets out, how can I live? How can I live?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Lanying's body convulsed, and she immediately sat down on the ground, muttering repeatedly, "How could this happen?"

"I gave my body to such a disgusting man, I might as well just die, I might as well just drown myself like Ren Rongzheng!"

Liu Lanying, who had been completely drained of energy, hurriedly pulled Ren Rongxue back upon hearing her words and immediately advised her:

"You absolutely can't do anything rash! You can't die! You're my only daughter. Now your father has gone on a business trip with his mistress. You're all I have left. How can I live if you die?"

Liu Lanying held Ren Rongxue tightly, afraid that she might do something rash, but the more Ren Rongxue thought about it, the more she broke down.

"But what should I do? If other people find out about this, they'll spit on me and I'll be drowning in their gossip. How will I ever face anyone again?"

"No, Xue'er, you can't think like that, you can't think like that," Liu Lanying quickly comforted her, then added, "You said you don't know who he is, and that man doesn't know who you are either, right?"

"The room was dark, with all the lights off and the curtains drawn. I couldn't even see what the man looked like. He was drunk, completely drunk. He might have blacked out by tomorrow morning. There's no way he could remember who I am."

"Isn't that enough? You don't know him and he doesn't know you. After tonight, as long as we don't say anything, who will know?"

As long as the two of them don't say anything, no one will know?

"Can something this big be kept secret?"

"Why not? This is Wanping County, a place we don't know at all, and nobody knows us. Once we get back to our home, we'll both keep quiet, so who would know?"

Yes, as long as the two of them don't say anything, no one will know, but...

"But Mom, I've already lost my virginity. I'm not a virgin anymore. When I get married, my partner will find out. What will I do if they ask me about it?"

Ren Rongzheng was already humiliated by being jilted before even getting married; he'd become the laughingstock of the surrounding area. If I were to marry a man...

"If that man finds out I'm not a virgin, then he'll file for divorce and spread the news, wouldn't I be even more utterly humiliated?"

"Xue'er, don't worry, let me think, let me think..."

Liu Lanying, after all, was someone who had been through it all. She tried to calm herself down and think about it for a while, and she actually came up with an idea.

"I've got it! I've got it!" Liu Lanying exclaimed excitedly as she grabbed Ren Rongxue's hand and said to her, "When you get married, there will be so many people urging you to drink on your wedding day, he'll definitely drink. So let him drink a lot, and then you two can get married."

"To see if a woman is a virgin, isn't it just about looking at her virginity? Mom will prepare a blood bag for you beforehand. After it's over, he'll fall asleep quickly because he's been drinking. Then you can smear the blood from the bag onto your body, and he'll see it the next day."

"Is this... is this really possible?"

"Why can't we do that? If you listen to your mother, we'll definitely be able to cover it up. Nobody will know what happened tonight, not even your father, nobody can tell."

"Yes, no one can tell, Mom. Only the two of us know about this. Only heaven, earth, you, and I know."

"Correct!"

Liu Lanying was her biological mother, so Ren Rongxue naturally trusted her.

Although she was still immersed in the pain and despair of being defiled by a scoundrel for the first time, hearing Liu Lanying's solution calmed her down a little, but then she found it ridiculous.

"We just talked so much, and it turns out I don't even have a marriage partner. If this falls through, then there's absolutely no hope between me and Cui Qinghe..."

"That room clearly belongs to Cui Qinghe, so why wasn't it him who went in?"

"I don't know, I don't know..."

Ren Rongxue started crying again at the mention of this, and Liu Lanying quickly began to comfort her: "My dear daughter, don't cry, don't cry. After tonight, we'll pretend nothing happened. Ah, it's not that he and Cui Qinghe were a good match, but he's not lucky. He'll definitely find someone a million times better than him in the future."

"Find someone a million times better than him?" Ren Rongxue laughed at herself when she heard this.

"I'm already like this, I'd be grateful if I could just find any man to fool in the future. How could I dare to hope for someone better than him? It's impossible, Mom, it's impossible..."

Although no one would know what happened tonight if the two of them didn't tell, she was already mentally broken and didn't dare to hope for anything anymore.

"We'll talk about that later, Xue'er. Go to sleep. You'll forget everything when you wake up the next day. I'll hold you while you sleep."

Liu Lanying pulled Ren Rongxue into her arms, just like she had done to her when she was a child, patting her back to coax her to sleep.

Tonight, neither she nor her son are destined to sleep. Similarly, tonight is also a particularly important night for Ren Rongzheng, because he is going to have dinner with Zheng Hongjun.

Rewind to when the city lights were just coming on. Ren Rongzheng had already dressed herself up. Zhan Beiqin glanced at her and reminded her, "You're here to have dinner with my commander, not for a blind date."

"Have you ever heard that a woman's appearance reflects on a man? I dress up nicely so that you can look good. Alright, let's go."

After Ren Rongzheng finished speaking, she pushed Zhan Beiqin's wheelchair. Zheng Hongjun was Zhan Beiqin's mentor and now his superior. He was a very important person to the couple, and she had to take their first meeting seriously.
