Caught in a chaotic situation, she is doted on by six villainous sons.

His large Adam's apple bobbed rhythmically, then he extended his hand. "My name is Shang Tingyan."

In an instant, countless memories of men flashed through Jiang Liwu's mind, every fragment of calling out Shang Tingyan's name, one after another, Shang Tingyan.

The final image freezes on the man lying in front of her, covered in blood, as she painfully hugs him tightly and calls out Shang Tingyan's name one last time.

Memories flooded back, souls collided, and the man before her overlapped with the man in her memories. Jiang Liwu saw her own reflection in the man's eyes, and also clearly saw the unfamiliarity and restraint in them.

They were once incredibly familiar people, now the most distant strangers. Jiang Liwu finally couldn't hold back the intense bitterness in her eyes, and tears suddenly fell, dripping onto the small mole on her face, adding to her broken appearance.

Although she knew long ago that the man would not remember her, Jiang Liwu's heart still felt like it was being roasted by a knife and a fire.

Jiang Liwu grabbed the hand that was halfway outstretched by his body's instincts with his other hand and pulled it back.

Shang Tingyan froze, looking at Jiang Liwu who was crying. A sense of panic suddenly rose in his heart. He, who was usually calm and composed, was now slightly at a loss.

He took out a handkerchief and handed it over.

Jiang Liwu turned her face away, not wanting to have any further interaction with Shang Tingyan. "I have something to do, please excuse me."

As Jiang Liwu walked past Shang Tingyan, the tears in her eyes welled up even more quickly, and she hurried away.

But before she could take more than a few steps, Shang Tingyan caught up with her and grabbed Jiang Liwu's hand.

Jiang Liwu turned around in surprise, and Shang Tingyan was also secretly surprised that he couldn't help but hold a woman's hand.

It was as if he didn't want her to leave.

A strange, itchy feeling rose in Shang Tingyan's throat. His prominent, sexy Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he suppressed the unfamiliar sensation. Only then did Shang Tingyan ask, puzzled, "I didn't make you cry, so why are you crying in front of me?"

"I didn't cry." Jiang Liwu pursed her lips, but tears still kept streaming down her face.

She was simply grateful that the man who had died for her time and time again was still alive and well, standing right in front of her.

Looking at Jiang Li's misty, fragile eyes and wet face, Shang Tingyan was momentarily speechless. "You..."

"What do you want to do?!"

Fu Siyue and Wei Xifeng, who were originally in front of Song Jinwei and Fu Qinian, appeared next to Jiang Liwu. Wei Xifeng was like an enraged lion, impatiently pushing Shang Tingyan away.

Fu Siyue shielded Jiang Liwu behind him, his eyes filled with icy coldness, extremely dangerous. "Second Master Shang, you can tell me what's wrong." Shang Tingyan was indeed the second son in his family, known as Second Master, Buddha, or Mr. Shang.

This was the first time Wei Xifeng had ever seen Jiang Liwu cry like this. He immediately panicked and tried to wipe away her tears, saying helplessly, "Don't cry, don't cry. Did he bully you?" Wei Xifeng, like a vicious dog, bared his teeth and looked at Shang Tingyan with a cruel and ruthless expression.

The next second, he threw a punch at Shang Tingyan, but Shang Tingyan caught it steadily. Shang Tingyan's eyes were cold and calm, and his aura was very stable. His height of 1.9 meters made him two points taller than Wei Xifeng.

Jiang Liwu quickly grabbed Wei Xifeng, "Xiao Feng."

Gu Youchuan reacted at this moment and immediately stepped forward to separate the two men's fists and palms. "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. Please don't fight. This is the birthday banquet of the Shang family's matriarch. We can't cause trouble. Give me some face, Master Wei? Brother Yan?"

"Miss Jiang, please say something!" Gu Youchuan had no idea that Jiang Liwu would cry. He was an upright official, and he hadn't even done anything yet. He felt like he was being extorted, and even Shang Tingyan was being framed.

"No one is bullying me, Xiao Feng, don't get agitated." Jiang Liwu pressed Wei Xifeng's hand down.

Wei Xifeng and Fu Siyue stared intently at her. "Really?" They seemed somewhat skeptical.

Teacher, even the stepmother is crying, how could she not have been provoked and bullied?

They clearly saw Shang Tingyan pulling on the teacher's and stepmother's hands!

Jiang Liwu was somewhat helpless. By this time, she had already stopped crying and gave the two of them a comforting look. "Really, don't you think about who can bully me? I just haven't rested well and my eyes are a little sore."

Wei Xifeng immediately said, "Then let's go back."

Jiang Liwu nodded, "Okay."

Fu Siyue and Wei Xifeng led Jiang Liwu away. Shang Tingyan's body involuntarily wanted to step forward again, but he restrained himself. He frowned, not believing Jiang Liwu's excuse that she hadn't rested well. He was concerned about why Jiang Liwu was crying.

Gu Youchuan wiped away imaginary cold sweat from his forehead. "My god, this woman's methods are truly astounding. She actually managed to get Wei Xifeng and Fu Siyue to stand up for her, acting all nervous. Anyone who didn't know better would think Jiang Liwu was their mother. She even dared to fight you on Shang's turf." Gu Youchuan clicked his tongue in amazement and shook his head, abandoning the idea of ​​provoking Jiang Liwu.

"This woman is really something else. Don't be fooled by her appearance, Brother Yan. She did the same thing to me last time."

Shang Tingyan: "Last time?"

“Yes, like at the auction. Back then, she only had Wei Xifeng by her side. Now she has Fu Siyue. Who will be by her side next time?” Gu Youchuan crossed his arms and rubbed his chin with the other.

Shang Tingyan frowned even more. "She cried to you too?" His gaze, which fell on Gu Youchuan, was subtly tinged with displeasure.

Gu Youchuan was completely unaware. "No, but the expression was similar. Did they think they mistook me for someone else?"

As the sommelier passed by, Gu Youchuan took a glass of wine and drank a large gulp.

"Then he must have mistaken you for someone else." Shang Tingyan's gaze fell on Gu Youchuan with a hint of coldness, wondering how Gu Youchuan could be so convinced that he had such great charm.

Gu Youchuan looked over in surprise, "You didn't actually believe her clumsy tricks, did you?" It felt like Shang Tingyan was implying that he was deluding himself.

Shang Tingyan was silent for a moment, then strode towards Grandma Shang, leaving her with the words, "You're overthinking it."

……

Although she said she was going home, Jiang Liwu was not actually staying at Wei Xifeng's place anymore, so when she returned to the Wei family manor villa, Wei Xifeng was alone.

He was still thinking about Jiang Liwu crying. Even though Jiang Liwu said she was fine, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her and cared. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

Because the teacher is definitely not the type to cry easily; Wei Xifeng had never even seen Jiang Liwu cry before.

In fact, Jiang Liwu didn't act strangely many times. Wei Xifeng immediately thought of the time when Jiang Liwu was absent-minded and anxiously looking for an old friend among the time travelers.
