A girl who was prettier and several years younger than Xia Yanran.
Nan Zhi lowered her eyes and suddenly thought of the time when she first met Xiao Yi with Mu Sihan, what Mu Sihan had said.
‘Young Master Xiao, don’t think that I really came to die because I didn’t bring my subordinates, any communication tools and only have a woman with me. If my investigations are correct, Young Master Xiao once fell in love with a woman who was a lot older than you. That woman got raped afterwards and passed away not too long after. The woman has a daughter and Young Master Xiao got custody of the girl after her mother passed away!
‘That girl is 17-years-old now. In order to prevent her from being found by your enemies, Young Master Xiao had been hiding her in your house, haven’t you?”
Could that girl Yanran saw be the one Mu Sihan was talking about?
If it was, then Xiao Yi was really worse than a beast!
He wanted both mother and daughter!
He was so perverted to that extent and Nan Zhi absolutely supported Xia Yanran to stay away from him!
Men like him were the scum of the earth!
“Zhizhi, what are you thinking about?” Xia Yanran looked at Nan Zhi’s thoughtful expression and asked, “Did you also know that Xiao Yi likes to play with young girls?”
Nan Zhi shook her head. Before things were clear, she could not guarantee that the girl was the one Xiao Yi had been hiding in his house.
“Yanran, if he really did something bad to you, no matter how he forces or threatens you, you must stay away from him!”
Xia Yanran nodded, a complicated look in her gaze. “He has a new lover, there’s no reason for him to hold on to me domineeringly.”
There was a constant smile on Xia Yanran’s face. It seemed that she was happy because she was about to regain her freedom, but she was in fact trying to hide the anxiety and confusion in her heart.
She had never thought of liking Xiao Yi, and even anticipated for him to be interested in another woman.
She really thought she did not care.
But why was she not happy and thrilled?
She even wanted to shoot that damn man!
She was doing well with Yi Fan, why did he force her to break up with him? Why was he occupying her heart bit by bit?
When she was really moved by him, he went on to like a girl younger than her!
Yanran had drank a lot of wine and Nan Zhi wanted to stop her from drinking, but since she was forced into a corner by Xiao Yi, her heart had been suffering for more than a year. If she wanted to be drunk, then she should let her be!
After the meal, Nan Zhi let Xiaojie go back home with An Feng and Auntie He.
Nan Zhi sat with Xia Yanran in the room. Xia Yanran stood on the chair and cursed Xiao Yi severely.
“Other than having good looks, there’s nothing in a big rough guy like him that girls would like!
“He’s so dirty himself, he still disliked the fact that I’m not a virgin and was dirty!
“He thought I would care about him? Hahaha, I’m happy, Zhizhi, do you know? He’s finally tired of me, I’m so happy!”
Nan Zhi came forward and held Xia Yanran in her arms, her hand patted Xia Yanran’s slender shoulder in comfort. “Yanran, cry if you want to. You don’t have to hold back in front of me.”
Xia Yanran hugged Nan Zhi and shook her head with a smile. “I would never cry over Xiao Beast.”
Xia Yanran called the restaurant manager over and threw out a card.
…
Y. R Hotel, inside Room 1.
Xiao Yi looked at the girl who had cried herself to sleep and his calloused finger wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes.
Looking at many bruises littered all over her neck and arms, a trace of murderous intent flashed past his eyes.
He stared at the girl for a long time until the phone in his pocket vibrated.
Taking out his phone, he saw a few messages from the bank.
“You have made a transaction of $200,000 with your card ending with 0327 on the 18th, 20:10. Remaining balance XXX”
“You have made a transaction of $150,000 with your card ending with 0327 on the 18th, 20:12. Remaining balance XXX”
Xiao Yi stared at the message for a few seconds and a faint smile appeared on his face.
He had given her this card for a year but she had never spent a penny.
One evening after he had exhausted her, he bit her ear and threatened her to spend his money.
Then how did she reply him?
She said that she had hands and feet, and the ability to work, so she would never spend his money.
She was stubborn, tough, and assertive. If he was tough, she would be even tougher.
If he occasionally softened his approach, her attitude towards him would be better.
He kept his phone and got up from the side of the bed.
He came out of Room 1 and saw the manager standing in the doorway, trembling and a sharp gaze appeared in his eyes. “Anything you want to say?”
“Boss, Lady Boss came by in the evening…” The manager saw Xiao Yi’s expression had changed and he was so frightened his legs felt weak and he wiped the sweat on his forehead, put on a bold face and continued, “She was going to come to Room 1 but I didn’t let her…”
Before he could finish, he was kicked in the stomach by Xiao Yi. “I told you all before, Room 1 is hers. Why didn’t you let her in?”
The manager backed away after being kicked. His stomach was in pain, but he did not cry out. He looked down and said cautiously, “Because I saw Boss carrying a woman into the room and I-I thought…”
“You thought I’m having a mistress behind her back?”
The manager was so frightened that he did not dare to say another word.
In fact, he was not the only one who had the thought. Seeing how Boss carried the woman to the hotel with such a nervous expression, everyone thought that Boss had liked another girl who was younger than Lady Boss.
Xiao Yi stepped forward and kicked the manager again. “Send someone to guard Room 1. If anything happens to the person inside, you will be responsible!”
Looking at Xiao Yi who left in anger, the manager was puzzled.
Was Boss more worried about the girl inside the room or more worried about Lady Boss?
Or he wanted both?
…
Xiao Yi drove to the seafood restaurant where Xia Yanran had swiped his card.
When he heard that they had left, Xiao Yi then rushed to the apartment he had bought for Xia Yanran.
Opening the apartment door, he found that it was empty inside. Xia Yanran had removed all her clothes and toiletries.
Xiao Yi stood at the door with his hands in his pockets and his chest heaved twice.
His expression darkened, and looked like he wanted to kill someone.
How much did she want to leave him?
Seeing him with another girl together and she moved all her things away without even questioning him?
This was the little house they had both built together. Did it not have any sentimental value to her at all?
Or had she been waiting for this opportunity and was eager to leave him all along?
Xiao Yi laughed mockingly and saw the black card on the coffee table from the corner of his eye.
She even returned the card, how confident!
Xiao Yi took out his phone and called Xia Yanran, but he could not get through.
Xiao Yi laughed again.
This girl had a backbone.
Xiao Yi left the apartment and drove around the city.
He was in an irritable mood. He took out his phone and dialled a number.
“Within half an hour, I want to know the whereabouts of Xia Yanran.”
