Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In a narrow and remote alley, there was a hidden world of red and green lights.

A deafening sound came from the glass window, and the flashing lights reflected the crowded and swaying figures inside.

A few tall bodyguards came in silently. After looking around, they found Zhen Zhu and dragged her out of the bar.

The noisy music drowned out Zhen Zhu’s shouts until she was pushed into a car outside the door. She panicked at first, but quickly calmed down after seeing the people inside.

“How boring. I haven’t even finished my dance and you guys found me.”

Zhen Zhu tidied up her coat, which had been ruffled by the bodyguard. “Pretty fast, Shen Hanyu. You’re really something.”

Shen Hanyu glanced at her coldly. “You’re quite capable too. You even managed to trick Tang Bochuan.”

Zhen Zhu glanced at Tang Bochuan, who had been staring at her ever since she entered the car, and chuckled. “Why is your face black like the bottom of a pot?

I was just playing with you, do you have to look at me with such murderous eyes?”

Tang Bochuan’s eyes seemed to be spitting fire. He gritted his teeth so hard that they were about to shatter, but he did not say a word.

“I played you because you forced me to study those boring papers. I’m not interested in Zhen Group at all.”

Zhen Zhu turned to Shen Hanyu in the back seat and said, “To be honest, Cousin, I’m really not cut out for this. You’ve seen it for yourself, I’m a rotten wood that cannot be carved. I’m only interested in my drunken life, and I’m not interested in helping Zhen Yiping. Besides, I’ve already cut off all ties with the Zhen family, so don’t pin your hopes on me. Even if you catch me again, I…”

“Zhen Yiping is your biological father. What did he do to make you hate him so much?”

Shen Hanyu interrupted Zhen Zhu. “As far as I know, you had a normal father-daughter relationship with him before you were fourteen. What happened in between?”

Zhen Zhu’s expression stiffened. She turned her head and said in a tense voice, “Why don’t you ask Zhen Yiping what happened?”

“He said that you had a conflict with Li Zhongjin because he was rude to your mother that year. You must have been blaming him for not standing on your side.”

Shen Hanyu thought for a moment. “However, with your personality, you wouldn’t break up with the Zhen family just because of this.”

Zhen Zhu sneered, “My personality? Shen Hanyu, who do you think you are? You’re just a relative who returned to the Zhen family halfway through after getting acknowledgement from our family. I’m already giving you face by calling you my cousin, yet you dare act like you know me well?”

Shen Hanyu leaned back in the back seat and closed his eyes. “Bochuan, drive.”

It was obvious that he didn’t want to talk to Zhen Zhu anymore.

Zhen Zhu felt like she had just punched cotton, and she had no place to vent her anger.

Tang Bochuan started the car and drove out of the city silently in the dark.

The city’s lights were gradually left behind, and the road became more and more desolate. The distance between the street lights on both sides seemed to be much further, and the starry lights could not illuminate the thick darkness at all.

“Shen Hanyu, where are you taking me?” Zhen Zhu finally felt uneasy.

Shen Hanyu didn’t answer. His silhouette in the dark didn’t move. She didn’t know if he was asleep or if he didn’t want to answer.

Zhen Zhu pointed her finger at Tang Bochuan. “Tang Bochuan, where are you going in the middle of the night? Say something! Are you mute?”

Tang Bochuan kept his eyes fixed on the road and refused to reply.

Zhen Zhu leaned against the glass window and tried her best to distinguish the road outside. She had a vague guess in her heart, but she couldn’t believe it.

When the car turned onto a small road and stopped in front of a villa hidden in the forest, Zhen Zhu’s expression finally changed.

She turned around and stared at Shen Hanyu. “What do you mean by this?”

“I’ll show you the place where your mother lived,” Shen Hanyu said.

Zhen Zhu’s lips trembled violently, but she didn’t say a word.

Tang Bochuan had already gotten out of the car and went to open the villa’s gate.

After hesitating for a long time, Zhen Zhu stiffly followed behind Shen Hanyu and Tang Bochuan and stepped into the mansion’s carved iron gate.

Although this villa hasn’t had residents for a long time, the interior was extremely clean and tidy, without a speck of dust. It was obvious that someone had been cleaning it from time to time.”

Zhen Zhu’s eyes fell on a white piano in the living room that was covered with a dust-proof cloth, her hands trembling slightly.

The distant memories flashed through her mind like scenes from a movie.

Many years ago, when she was only seven or eight years old, she had sat in front of this piano and played it attentively.

Her mother, who was wearing a white embroidered dress with long hair, stood beside her like an angel, looking at her with a smile. When she finished playing, she gently and patiently corrected the mistakes in her performance.

That was her deepest and last memory she had of her mother…

“Your mother’s bedroom is upstairs. It’s been so many years, but it’s still the same.”

“Do you want to go upstairs and take a look?” Shen Hanyu asked in a deep voice.

Zhen Zhu seemed to have lost her soul as she slowly walked up the stairs. She didn’t have to deliberately distinguish between the two, and she almost instinctively stopped in front of a bedroom.

Zhen Zhu’s eyes reddened uncontrollably when she saw the cute, hand-made rabbit hanging on the door.

This pendant was something she had made for her mother when she was young. The edges were already a little yellow. She did not expect that after so many years, the pendant would still be there.

When she was 14 years old, after that incident, Zhen Yiping had placed a ban on this villa, and no one was allowed to enter.

She did not expect that she would have the chance to relive the past more than ten years later…

Zhen Zhu turned around and looked at Shen Hanyu. “What are you planning by bringing me here?”

Shen Hanyu looked at Zhen Zhu and said, “I want to know where the hatred in your heart for your father came from 14 years ago.”

“Shen Hanyu, don’t think that I don’t know what you’re up to. Even if you bring up my mother, you won’t get what you want!”

Zhen Zhu’s expression at this moment was like a Porcupine with spikes all over its body. She was furious and hostile, and her voice was sharp. “I don’t care if you want to be Zhen Yiping’s underling, but you’d better stop! No matter what, I’ll never forgive him!”

“President Zhen has nothing to do with President Shen bringing you here. President Zhen doesn’t know anything about this.”

Tang Bochuan frowned. His refined and handsome face was cold. “I followed Mr. Shen’s instructions and sent someone to get the mansion’s guard to leave in advance and got the key.”

Zhen Zhu was stunned. No wonder when Tang Bochuan came in, no one walked out to welcome her.

“Alright, then I’ve wrongly accused you.”

Zhen Zhu’s tone finally softened. “Can I stay here for a few days?”

“Sure, you can stay as long as you want.”

“However, Tang Bochuan will be staying here,” Shen Hanyu said indifferently.

Zhen Zhu didn’t say anything. She only pushed the door open, entered the bedroom, and slammed the door shut in protest.

It took Tang Bochuan an hour and ten minutes to drive from the city to the villa in the suburbs.

Shen Hanyu drove back to the city in less than 40 minutes.

In the small courtyard, the light in Sang Qianqian’s bedroom was still on. She was still awake and waiting for him..
