Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the huge private room, under the suggestive lighting, a couple sat together in an extremely intimate position, like a loving couple. However, only Liang Yan knew how terrified and disgusted she was at that moment.

The feeling of being targeted by a venomous snake made her hair stand on end.

Seeing that Liang Yan didn’t answer, Chu Zhou’s fingertips caressed her face. His voice was sweet as he asked, “How is it, baby?”

“How do I know if what you said is true?” Liang Yan tilted her head slightly to the side and pretended to be calm as she replied.

Chu Zhou raised his eyebrows and sneered. “Other than trusting me, do you have a choice?”

Liang Yan fell silent and revealed a helpless and bitter smile.

Yes, she was just an orphan with no one to rely on. How could she resist a rich and powerful young master? Even if he went back on his word, she could not do anything.

The only thing she could do was to comply and buy more time.

In any case, she only had a few days left.

With that thought in mind, Liang Yan did not want to waste her breath on Chu Zhou anymore. “What do you want me to help you with?”

“You’ll know in three days.” Chu Zhou patted Liang Yan’s face and left.

Liang Yan sat paralyzed on the sofa, watching Chu Zhou’s departing figure. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.

As soon as she relaxed, she felt as if her heart was tightly gripped by a large hand. It was so uncomfortable that she almost suffocated.

Clutching her chest, Liang Yan took out medicine from her bag with trembling hands and stuffed a few pills into her mouth in a sorry state. Only then did the pain in her heart slowly calm down.

After Liang Yan felt less uncomfortable, she forced herself to leave.

It was winter now, and it was already midnight. The cold wind was like lead, burrowing into Liang Yan’s dress. She shivered from the cold and felt that her entire body was numb.

However, she gritted her teeth and slowly walked home. Her mind was filled with all kinds of things that had happened in the past few days, and she did not know what to do.

Initially, she only wanted to live peacefully until the end of her life, but those people were unwilling to let her go and pressed on her step by step.

Despair was like a tsunami that drowned her completely, making her unable to breathe.

At this moment, a Panamera suddenly stopped beside Liang Yan and blocked her way.

The window of the backseat rolled down slowly. Liang Yan looked up and was surprised to find that it was Jiang Sheng.

Suddenly, Liang Yan’s chest began to ache. The beating from five years ago was still vivid in her mind. She would never forget that suffocating pain.

She subconsciously took a few steps back and said warily, “President Jiang, what’s the matter?”

Jiang Sheng felt Liang Yan’s wariness. For some reason, his heart ached, but he still looked very gentle. “Miss Liang, where are you going? It’s already so late, and it’s not easy to take a taxi. It’s dangerous for a girl to be outside. Let me send you.”

Dangerous? Liang Yan sneered in her heart. Wasn’t he dangerous?

Back then, she had knelt down and begged him not to leave. But what about him? He clearly knew that she had a heart disease and had just undergone surgery not long ago. She could not be stimulated at all, but he still allowed his subordinates to insult and beat her.

Just as she was about to be beaten to death, he even called his sister out. She sneered, “Miss Liang, I advise you to give up. It’s not so easy to climb up our Jiang family’s ladder. This time, I’ll let you off on account that you were once in the same orphanage as my brother. If there’s a next time, you won’t be able to leave with your life!”

If Hu Die had not arrived in time, she would have died there.

Now that she had finally gotten over that humiliating beating, he actually dared to appear and act like an innocent person.

At the thought of this, Liang Yan’s eyes turned cold. She said coldly, “There’s no need to trouble President Jiang. I’m afraid that if I don’t do anything well and make you think that I’m climbing up the social ladder, it won’t be good.”

Jiang Sheng was slightly stunned. He frowned and said, “Miss Liang, what happened back then is in the past. Why are you so obsessed? Although we grew up in the same orphanage, I don’t have any romantic feelings for you. It was you who chased after me and made things so ugly back then.”

No romantic feelings?

Could it be that his love and confession in the orphanage were all fake?

At that time, she had foolishly treated him as her only salvation. She had even sold herself to Pei Yu just to save him. In the end, she had only received a sentence that there was no romantic love!

What a joke!

Liang Yan didn’t want to be involved with such a person anymore. She didn’t even want to speak and continued walking forward with a cold expression.
