After Cheng Anning was sent away, she walked around the restaurant with a bodyguard. When she was tired, she sat in the lobby for a while.
She knew that she couldn't leave without Mr. Huo's order, so she might as well sit and wait.
Suddenly, she saw a familiar person in her peripheral vision.
It's Zhao Junlin!
Why is he here?
He looked unhappy and was being helped by a woman.
Cheng Anning hesitated for a while, not wanting to meddle in other people's business.
But she keenly noticed that Zhao Junlin's expression did not look like he was drunk, but more like he had been anesthetized, and his pupils were dilated.
Cheng Anning couldn't sit still. Thinking that this man had helped her last time, she quietly touched him.
The woman supporting him temporarily placed him on a chair in the corner of the lobby and made a call on her cell phone.
Zhao Junlin's remaining consciousness wanted to stand up, but his body was weak.
Just when he thought he was about to confess here, a pair of delicate arms lifted him up with difficulty.
Zhao Junlin turned his head in surprise and saw Cheng Anning making a booing gesture to him.
When Cheng Anning touched him and smelled that there was no alcohol on his body, she knew that he was probably drugged.
Zhao Junlin struggled to say: "Help me get out of here."
The two of them left quietly while the woman wasn't paying attention.
When the woman finished the phone call and turned around to find that the person was gone, she cursed directly.
At the other end, Cheng Anning left the hotel with Zhao Junlin and hid in a small alley.
She couldn't help him anymore and was panting from exhaustion.
The efficacy of the medicine in Zhao Junlin's body had decreased, and his mind was much clearer. He looked at Cheng Anning with complicated eyes.
"Thanks."
"How will you be here?"
Zhao Junlin fell silent and did not answer.
Cheng Anning didn't want to ask any more questions and said, "I can only help you get here. Do you have a place to go? Can I contact you?"
"No, I'll call someone over, just wait. An Ning, thank you."
"You're welcome. I'll pay you back for helping me last time."
Cheng Anning didn't dare to leave for too long, for fear that Mr. Huo would find out.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Zhao Junlin subconsciously grabbed her wrist.
"An Ning, are you... okay?"
"I'm not bad, you...sorry."
Cheng Anning knew about his family's affairs from TV. If he didn't have much sympathy, he was just sad.
There may be Master Huo's handiwork among them, but if the Zhao family and his wife had not broken the law, they would not have been caught so thoroughly.
Zhao Junlin also knew this, so he didn't anger anyone, but just shouldered everything silently.
He pursed his lips and said: "An Ning, I am no longer the young master of the Zhao family. I have reopened a company with not many people, but it can be considered a beginning."
"Well, good luck to you."
"An Ning, I'm divorced."
Cheng Anning fell silent and pulled his hand back.
"I know it's too late to say this now, but I just want to tell you that this time I won't compromise with anyone. I will start over and pursue you again. You don't have to reject me. I won't disturb your life.
."
Zhao Junlin said a lot in one breath, but Cheng Anning didn't respond.
Eventually, the light in his eyes slowly dimmed.
Cheng Anning finally spoke, "Zhao Junlin, this is the last time. It's best for us not to see each other in the future. It's unlucky to be close to me, so please stay safe."
With these words behind, Cheng Anning left the alley.
When Zhao Junlin's friend found this place in a hurry, he was still exclaiming: "I have found you! If you were a little late, you would have been tied to the bed by the rich woman! You... are you crying?!"
Zhao Junlin's eyes were red, his hands clenched into fists, and tears fell down his face.
A man doesn't shed tears lightly, but he hasn't reached the point where he is sad.
"Hey, Junlin, what are you doing? Are you really being raped by a rich woman..."
"She won't look back."
"What?"
Zhao Junlin's voice was extremely hoarse and his expression was lost. He just repeated over and over again, "She will never look back..."
After Cheng An Ning left the alley, he straightened his clothes and looked lonely.
At that moment, she thought of the memories of those three years.
Zhao Junlin was her first love, and he met her when she was most young.
He is like the big brother next door, tutoring her with her homework and taking her to eat delicious food.
When she was seventeen years old, he accompanied her through her most innocent and immature time.
But in the end, they still got separated.
Cheng Anning tried hard to contain her sadness. As soon as she raised her head, she saw Mr. Huo standing a few steps away with an angry face.
Her heart thumped and she subconsciously took half a step back.
Huo Yan was irritated by her actions. He stepped forward and grabbed her wrist so hard that it made her gasp in pain.
"Where did you just go?"
"You, let go first."
Her wrists were about to be pinched off!
"Tell me! Where have you been!"
Cheng Anning's eyes were red, and her pain nerves were too sensitive. The pain of having her wrist pinched like this was like having her hand chopped off.
"Huo Yan! Let go!"
In desperation, she didn't even call her Third Master, but just called her name.
"who's that person."
"No one!"
Huo Yan sneered, simply dragged her and strode forward.
When they reached the alley where Cheng Anning had just come out, Huo Yan turned around and looked over. There was no one there.
Cheng Anning breathed a sigh of relief quietly and said louder: "Let go! My hand is about to break!"
Huo Yan let go of his hand, but his expression was ugly.
"Cheng Anning, if I find out that you cheated on me, you know the consequences."
Hearing this, Cheng Anning said nothing and turned her head away from him.
Sure enough, the gentleness of the past two days was all fake.
This man is violent and cruel to his core and cannot tolerate any mistakes.
Living next to such people will be suffocating, and if you make the slightest mistake, it will be a violent storm.
She can't keep it!
Because of this incident, the somewhat peaceful atmosphere between the two became tense again.
Huo Yan did not allow her to participate in the evening activities, and asked her bodyguard to send her back to the hotel directly, and prohibited her from going out.
Cheng Anning did not resist and stayed in the hotel.
It happened that the room they stayed in was the highest-grade suite, and there was a grand piano placed in the living room.
She took out the piano scores left by her mother and started practicing.
These musical scores are my mother's relics and have not been published publicly. My mother composed the music herself.
Some she had heard of when she was a child, some she hadn't.
Cheng Anning practiced over and over again. Only when she was immersed in the sound of the piano could she temporarily forget her irritability.
The sound of the piano spread through the door to the outside. When the bodyguard guarding the door heard it, he couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder Mr. Huo is such a precious wife. The sound of the piano is so beautiful. I feel happy listening to it."
"Shh, don't talk about Mr. Huo."
The bodyguards did not dare to say anything and listened intently to the sound of the piano.
At the same time, a group of people diligently escorted an old lady over seventy years old forward.
"Teacher Qin, your room has been arranged for you. Please take a rest first..."
The old lady's ears twitched and she stopped, "Shh, don't talk." This chapter has been completed!
