Even though i Yangyang had a weapon with her, there was no way she could defeat the three n, especially since she had a small and petite fra.
Thus, she suffered multiple attacks in her stomach and back, causing her to fall onto the ground in no ti. She could not help but lie there helplessly, too weak to even move.
“Wretched woman, how dare you scratch my face!? Aren’t you really tough and capable? C’mon, hit !” taunted the enraged man as he continued to give her a tight slap across her face. Her ears began to ring from the impact.
“Why aren’t you retaliating? I won’t let you off easily for disfiguring . You are to pay a compensation of 2000 dollars,” he hollered.
i Yangyang remained silent as she felt her heart grow cold at the thought of her blood sister leaving her in a lurch. No words could describe how disappointed she felt.
“Are you going to compensate or not?” the man barked as he gave her another slap, but with much more force this ti. Blood began to flow out of the corners of i Yangyang’s lips.
There was an overwhelming tallic odor in i Yangyang’s mouth as it filled with blood. Blood splattered all over the man’s face when she spat at him.
“You chose this!” the man flew into an uncontrollable rage. Just as he was about to stomp his foot onto her face, he was kicked in his gut and thrown off balance all of a sudden. i Yangyang looked up and saw Long Tianze, who was dressed in a blue suit, retracting his leg.
“Three n ganging up against one poor woman, aren’t you guys ashad at all!?! What a disgrace to your parents. They probably would’ve wished that you were never born at all, if they hear about this,” Long Tianze glowered at the other two n.
He bent forward to pick i Yangyang up from the ground and left straight away.
Recognizing him to be Long Tianze, i Shuangshuang quickly went forward to ask, “Where are you taking my sister?”
At that instant, Long Tianze understood why i Yangyang had shown up there. “You were enjoying the show when your sister was getting beat by those guys earlier. You don’t even care if she’s dead or alive, why are you so concerned about where I’m taking her?” he sneered.
As soon as he finished his sentence, he hurriedly left and brought i Yangyang to the hospital.
i Yangyang did not make a single sound throughout the entire journey.
She then thanked him when they returned from the hospital.
“Sister-in-law Xiaoning is upstairs, co with .”
“Alright,” i Yangyang agreed and followed him upstairs.
Just as Long Tianze entered the room, Ling Ciye said with a smile, “Didn’t you go out to take a breather? Why did you take so long?”
“I saw her getting bullied downstairs, so being the nice person I am, I brought her to the hospital to get her wounds nursed.”
Upon seeing that it was i Yangyang, An Xiaoning asked, “What happened?”
i Yangyang sat down beside her and told her about the details of everything that had happened from the beginning. Finally, she said, “It was my fault, I shouldn’t have overestimated myself. I continued to put on a brave front despite knowing that I was outnumbered.”
“Don’t bla yourself. You don’t have to go to the store tomorrow, just rest well at ho,” said An Xiaoning as she held onto her hand.
“It’s fine, Sis, it’s just a minor injury,” said i Yangyang. The swelling had made her doll-like face appear even rounder.
The music resud blasting in the room. i Yangyang soon realized that the three other won in the room were the ones she had seen along the corridor earlier.
One of them was massaging Ling Ciye’s thigh, the other was kneading his leg, and another was toasting next to Long Tianze.
i Yangyang gazed at Long Tianze as she began to recall the mont he had appeared to save her, when she was getting bashed. She began to find him rather heroic and admirable.
Seeming to have noticed her staring at him, he turned around and made eye contact with her.
i Yangyang froze in shock but did not look away.
Neither did Long Tianze. The two seed to be engaged in a tacit staring contest.
In the end, Long Tianze burst into laughter. He could not hold it in any longer and mocked, “You really look like a piglet now with that swollen face of yours.”
i Yangyang did not take offense. Instead, she began pinching her face and said in response, “It’s not that bad, at least I don’t look deford.”
All of a sudden, Long Tianze was reminded of their intimate encounter as he stared at her lips.
He felt a tension in his lower body and stopped staring when he began to feel slightly enticed.
“Mr. Long, co here, let toast you,” said the woman beside him, who raised a goblet of wine in her hands.
Long Tianze glanced at her and clinked his goblet against hers, “You can hold your liquor pretty well, eh?”
“Since you’re here, of course I’d have to drink more, Mr. Long. It’s such a rare occasion to be eting you. I may not get the chance to see you again.”
“It’s so noisy,” said an irritated Long Tianze as he turned off the music.
He placed the goblet on the table and turned to look at Jin Qingyan, who was leaning against the couch while remaining silent. “What are you thinking about? You’re so engrossed in your thoughts,” he asked.
“I’m thinking about you...”
“Mr. Jin, your wife is sitting right there. Wouldn’t it break her heart to hear you say such words to ?” Long Tianze said teasingly, playing along.
“You’re reading too much into it. I haven’t finished my sentence. I’m thinking about you and your poor taste in won.”
“Ciye, don’t you agree that these three babes are gorgeous?”
“They are. But they’re only good enough to massage my legs,” said Ling Ciye with a smile.
The three won continued to put up a cheery front, seemingly unaffected by their words despite feeling rather hurt and dejected. Just like they had expected, these wealthy heirs would never find them good enough. They all had expectations that were way too high. In the eyes of the wealthy heirs, they were nothing more than re objects of frivolous entertainnt. But then again, it was their job to entertain, anyway.
Nonetheless, they still dread of marrying a wealthy husband one day and leaving their past behind. They hoped for a fresh start in life and to beco a woman of status as a wealthy man’s wife.
“He said you’re only worthy of being his masseuse. What do you think of that?” Long Tianze asked the woman beside him mockingly.
“Mr. Ling can say anything he wants, as long as he’s happy.”
“Indeed, won who are after nothing but money have no pride or self-esteem at all. Truly born to be slaves,” Long Tianze said distastefully with a sigh.
He stood up and said, “It’s getting late, let’s leave.”

i Yangyang arrived ho in her scooter, only to see that her father was still waiting for her to return.
Noticing how disheveled she looked, he asked worriedly, “Yangyang, what happened to you?”
i Yangyang bluntly told her father the truth, without hiding anything at all. “I’m washing my hands off her matters in the future,” she said at last.
Mr. i felt bad for her and, at the sa ti, infuriated with his younger daughter for her behavior.
“Yangyang, I won’t ask you to go look for her at night again. Since she can’t tell right from wrong, there’s no way we can take her in hand, and we’ll have no choice but to let her be.”
“Yes, Father. I’m going to bed.”
“Alright, you still have to go to work tomorrow morning. How about you just take a day off to rest at ho?”
“It’s fine.” She returned to her room and laid on her bed. However, she seed to have a hard ti falling asleep.
Suddenly, she heard her phone ring as she received a text ssage. After taking a look at her mobile phone, she realized that it was a text ssage from an unfamiliar number. Yet, she felt a strange sense of joy as she read the content of the ssage.
“Hey little piggy, goodnight.”
She recalled giving him her mobile number in the store, though she had not asked for his. This was the first ti he had contacted her since then.
As she read the ssage, i Yangyang felt a sudden urge and replied, “Big piggy, goodnight.”
She put her phone down, feeling much better after reading the ssage.
She closed her eyes and drifted off to dreamland soon after.

Soon, it was the 20th of November, the peak of winter. The weather was freezing. However, Jin Qingyue was still adamant about not revealing the truth, and she remained as tight-lipped as ever. Having had another solution in mind, Jin Qingyan inford the police of his plan and together, they staged an act to get her to speak up.
Before Jin Qingyue had even woken up, the policeman opened the door.
