Since being scolded by Xia Nanze for drunk driving last time, Xia Xiaowan had learned her lesson. As long as she didn't drink excessively and kept sober, nothing wrong would happen. Before returning home, she first went to the bathroom to wash her face and remove her makeup. Then, she walked along the curb for ten minutes to get rid of alcohol breath. In this way, when she returned home, she could muddle through. Anyway, Xia Nanze did not stay in the living room every night to wait for her.
There weren't many people on the streets in the middle of the night, but it didn't appear deserted. In a bustling city like this, even it was quiet in the middle of the night, there were always neon lights flashing along the streets. Outlined by colorful scenery lights, the buildings opposite her appeared to be large crystal boxes, and she was walking slowly through these crystal boxes.
Xia Xiaowan enjoyed this serenity. It was like she was in a silent world of fairy tal
Jiang Kaiwei chased Xia Xiaowan to the alley's entrance and finally caught her.Ever since he rescued Xia Xiaowan in the alley, his mind had been somewhat confused as if he was dreaming and dizzy. There was always a layer of veil in front of him, and he could not see everything around him clearly as if there was an illusory background.He didn't know why he wanted to grab Xia Xiaowan. However, when he grabbed her, he ignored Xia Xiaowan's punches and kicks. He put her on his shoulder and stuffed her into his car on the side of the street.After coming out of the nightclub, he had been following Xia Xiaowan in his car from a far distance. He even didn't turn on the lights of the car. He saw the three men who had been following Xia Xiaowan and knew what they were going to do. However, he did not deal with them in advance. He just thought that it had nothing to do with him. That woman was so annoying and she should be taught a lesson. He only thou
Every time Xia Xiaowan faced Jiang Kaiwei head-on, she had never won. Being able to bite Jiang Kaiwei this time was a small victory for her, so when she returned home, she was in a very good mood.As soon as she entered the house, she saw Xia Nanze sitting in the lobby. There was no doubt that the reason why he was still awake so late was that he was waiting for her.Perhaps it was because he had waited for too long, his entire body sank in the sofa, his hands folded around his chest, and his head lowered. Because of the distance, Xia Xiaowan could not tell if he was asleep or awake.She stood there and listened quietly for a moment, and then quietly walked towards the stairs along the wall. After finally walking to the bottom of the stairs and about to lift her feet up, Xia Nanze suddenly raised his head.Xia Xiaowan knew that she couldn't hide anymore, so she smiled and said, "Brother, are you still awake?""C
Xia Xiaowan laughed and slowly stood up. Suddenly, she made a move. With a crisp sound, she slapped Lei Yajing in the face with a lightning speed. It was so pleasant. Last night, she slapped Jiang Kaiwei. This time, she slapped Lei Yajing. It was as if they had made an appointment. This couple bullied her badly before, and now she wanted to give it back bit by bit!This time, even Han Xiaoxue was stunned and looked at Lei Yajing at a loss.Lei Yajing probably didn't expect Xia Xiaowan would suddenly slap her. She was shocked for a moment, and then suddenly howled and rushed over to fight with Xia Xiaowan. It was simply a great humiliation to be slapped in the face in front of so many people. No matter what, she, Lei Yajing, was also a celebrity in the upper-class circle of G City. She had also been secretly photographed by the paparazzi. If this news were to spread out, how would she save her face?Moreover, Xia Xiaowan, who hit her, had
Han Xiaoxue let out a sigh of relief as she watched Jiang Kaiwei walk out with Lei Yajing and the other girl, one behind the other. She slowly turned to look at Xia Xiaowan. Seeing what happened today, Han Xiaoxue was impressed by Xia Xiaowan, and even started to respect her!Although she knew that Xia Xiaowan had changed a lot, she didn't expect Xia Xiaowan to be so calm and composed in front of Jiang Kaiwei. Xia Xiaowan treated that cold and arrogant man in her eyes like dirt. In the past, Xia Xiaowan was a little afraid of him. When she was dating Jiang Kaiwei, she took his words as an imperial decree. If he told her to go east, she never dared to go west. She was extremely obedient then. Even if they broke up later, she still avoided Jiang Kaiwei and never dared to clash head-on with him. Therefore, in Han Xiaoxue's opinion, Xia Xiaowan's changes were more than earth-shattering!Moreover, she had developed some bad habits, such as smoking, drinki
Busy days always passed very quickly. It had been more than half a month since Gu Nianbin came back from the United States. The war against the Jiang Group was still in a stalemate. Although he did not lose, his funds were tied down and he didn't have additional money to meet the needs of the Gu Group. Some ongoing projects thus had a shortfall in funds and faced difficulties in maintaining normal operation, let alone make money. Shao Boqing walked into Gu Nianbin's office and threw down a stack of papers on his table and said, "Look at these. They are all submitted for payment. I explained a lot and even my mouth got dry. But they still didn't agree. In the past, they were easy to talk to and purchasing materials from them on credit counted little to them. They are nasty persons who hit us when we are down!" He lit a cigarette in a huff and took two deep puffs from it before sitting down on a chair. Gu Nianbin picked up the stack of
The green light on the sidewalk lit up. Xia Xiaowan put her hand on her burning cheek and quickly walked toward the opposite side of the street. The headlights of a car parked in front of the traffic light suddenly turned on, casting a streak of shining light. It shocked her so much that she blocked it with her hand. Before she could think, she heard the sound of someone stepping on the gas. The car actually rushed towards her quickly. Xia Xiaowan got panicked and quickly ran to the opposite side. However, it was too late. The car moved very fast. In the blink of an eye, it was right in front of her. At that time, a black shadow rushed to hug her and rolled on the ground, barely avoiding the car. Xia Xiaowan was screaming as the black car had already sped away without a trace. Although she fell to the ground so quickly, Xia Xiaowan was not injured. She completely fell on that person. There were only scrapes on her hand, causing a bit
This year's spring came especially late, but it still came in the end. As if it wanted to make up for coming late, the temperature rose by over ten degrees. Everything carried a hint of early summer. The sun was shining, the leaves were green, and the flowers were blooming. After taking off the thick cotton clothes, everyone felt much better. Except for Du Xiaoxian. She sat in the room with a sad expression and looked at the sunny day outside the window in a daze. Yesterday, Du Huayue came back and told her that he had a colleague who sold all the shares of the Gu Group. He also said that the Gu Group would collapse in an instant. Du Xiaoxian read the newspaper every day and knew that what Du Huayue said was not a deliberate exaggeration. She couldn't wait any longer. She thought that she really couldn't wait any longer. At this time, the sunshine was already a little hot. It cast on her face like tiny hot iron wires, ca
A glimmer of hope suddenly rose in his heart. He rushed over to grab Du Xiaoxian's arm and said eagerly, "Look at my eyes. You can't fool me. You never tell lies. Look at me!"In the end, he was almost roaring. Du Xiaoxian slowly raised her head and frowned slightly. He grabbed her so tightly that she felt very painful. But the expression in her eyes was very calm. She did not avert her gaze. Her big eyes were still as clear as a stream.She slowly said, "You know I won't tell lies, and I won't lie to you. I can't fool you either. I'm serious. I really don't want to go on like this. Even if the Gu Group could pull through this difficult time, your family still won't let us be together. Are you going to enrage the old master again?""You say this because you have scruples about them, right? You don't want to make things difficult for me, do you?" Gu Nianbin gasped for breath, and his breath, hot as fire, fell on her face."No
