She dozed off, being too tired. The pain had not allowed her to a restful sleep. Unknown to her, a huge storm was heading her way.

In the hospital…

Mr. Li flung the newspaper away. His daughter’s photo was on the headlines.

What was this? Love triangle within the wealthy, legally wedded wife, mistress, Chu Lui stepping on two boats with one foot, and a rich woman became the third party willingly.

What was more laughable was there were rumors that he, Li Zhenggang, sold his own daughter out to become someone’s mistress for his business.

All rubbish. What sort of crap did these people come up with? He would sue them for slander. Would he really do it? Could he make his stand?

His daughter was obviously someone’s mistress. Now, she was laying in the hospital bed, half-dead.

Chu Lui took over the newspaper somberly. Many paparazzi have been camping outside his company’s entrance, wishing that there was a hidden pet door for them to enter. Such a scandal had also affected his company in the stock market.

All the fingers were pointing at Li Manni. In the majority’s mindset, the third part was the accused.

Ostracized, detested, and hated.

“Chu Lui, I trusted you and agreed to your relationship. You said that you will marry my daughter soon to account for our family. Now, should Manni marry you, how do you expect her to go out and make friends?

“Her reputation has been ruined. It may be bound to be ruined, but do you know how difficult it is to put things right?”

Mr. Li patted his chest frequently as he ranted furiously. He might suffer a heart attack shortly even if he did not have one.

“Uncle, you can be assured that I will handle this properly. Manni will not be subjected to any grievance, and she will marry me in a grand style.”

The brand-new newspaper was crumpled after Chu Lui put it down. He swore he had his own countermeasures in mind, naturally.

He could not allow his woman to bear this, and of course, he would not allow this rumor to continue.

His eyes darkened as he smiled. Seeing him, one would have thought of the word ‘cruel’.

Mr. Li had a sudden weird feeling. If this person was an adversary, those against him would lose and end terribly.

This man was not suited to be a friend. Even worse, an enemy.

It was best not to get too close in contact with this kind.

…

A man opened the door sneakily. Before he could step in, someone patted him on the shoulder from behind.

“Ahh…” He nearly shouted. ‘One scared by another will surely die from fright’; this saying was especially true for this man who had crept into another’s home with ill intentions.

The man turned around and faced an ordinary-looking man. It was a wretched face that one would forget after just one look, especially that person who was recoiling from fear right now.

“I-I… I was here…” The man had his back up against the door, smiling, and his eyes were darting in all directions. He seemed to be thinking of a way to wriggle his way of this situation; to be truthful with his intention or to lie?

“Don’t worry. I know what you are up to.” The young man who had pulled him was smiling, making him looked friendly. However, he made him feel that he had an ulterior motive.
