The next day.

Jiang Yining and Lu Zhi met with the Yuan family’s private lawyer.

The other party represented Old Master Yuan and transferred the Peninsula Manor to them.

He handed the keys to them.

Lu Zhi handed it to Jiang Yining generously. “Do you want to take a look at the manor?”

Of course i want to.”

She had spent so much effort to obtain the manor.

Would she be letting herself down if she didn’t take a look?

Moreover, she really wanted to know what secrets this Peninsula Manor had that made the other party spend 1.4 million just to stay there for a few days.

“Then let’s go and take a look today.”

“You’re not busy?”

Jiang Yining realized that he had been very free recently.

He didn’t care about the company’s matters, but he accompanied her to watch the meteor shower. It was only noon, and he still wanted to go to the Peninsula Manor with her.

This didn’t fit his workaholic image at all.

“I’m not busy.”

Lu Zhi replied calmly.

Jiang Yining was speechless.

Alright, if he wanted to go with her, then so be it.

Thus, the two of them took a car and rushed to the Peninsula Manor.

Ever since the Yuan family bought the place and renovated it, no one has lived there.

Most of the manor still maintained its original appearance from the last century.

The scenery was quiet and exquisite.

What was especially amazing was that even though it was a downtown area, it was abnormally quiet here. There was almost no noise outside.

Jiang Yining went to a few rooms and looked around.

Lu Zhi followed behind her unhurriedly and said, “If you like this place, we can move in after our wedding.”

Uh…

Why did it sound like a newlywed couple discussing where to live?

“No need. I’m just curious about what’s so special about this century-old mansion. I’m already used to living in the villa, and I don’t want to move. It would be fine to come here for a few days for a vacation.”

“Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

Whatever his wife said, Lu Zhi would respect it.

Jiang Yining was speechless.

He was this easy to talk to?

He has been getting weirder and weirder recently.

With that thought in mind, Jiang Yining’s gaze inadvertently swept across a painting and she paused.

The next second…

She took a few steps towards the painting.

“This painting is quite old.”

“Yes, it looks very old,” Lu Zhi said calmly.

Jiang Yining tiptoed and took the painting down. She called a servant over and asked, “When was this painting put up?”

“It was there when we came. It should be something left behind by the previous owner.”

The servant answered honestly.

Jiang Yining nodded and admired it for a while.

She hung the painting back.

“Take good care of this house. I’ll come back in a few days.”

“Yes, Madam.”

The servant was in awe and trepidation of her new master.

Jiang Yining didn’t mind and continued to look at other places.

Unknowingly, the sky turned dark.

Jiang Yining and Lu Zhi had dinner at the manor.

On the other side was the busy nightlife and heavy traffic.

Only then did the prosperity of A-City officially begin.

Ye Xiaoxi changed into a beautiful dress and called Xiao Yeyu.

She told her that she was already at the entrance of the restaurant.

Not long after, Xiao Yeyu ran out and hugged her passionately. “You’re finally here. We’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

Ye Xiaoxi tugged at her skirt shyly and asked, “It won’t be embarrassing for me towear this, right?”

She had put on simple and elegant makeup today and matched it with a white dress.

She looked obedient and sweet, like a daisy.

It was quiet yet eye-catching.

Xiao Yeyu didn’t like her outfit, but when she thought of how she was about to become the young mistress of the Yuan family, she praised her against her will, “It’s very beautiful. How is it embarrassing? In my opinion, you’re the most eye-catching among us girls.”

It’s not as exaggerated as you say.”

Ye Xiaoxi said with a flushed face.

Xiao Yeyu hooked her neck and said, “Alright, don’t be modest. Let’s go in quickly. Don’t let the others wait.”

“Mhm.”

Ye Xiaoxi nodded.

Xiao Yeyu led her into the dining room.

There were already two girls and four boys inside.

Everyone was well-dressed and fashionable.

Ye Xiaoxi could not help but feel inferior.

Xiao Yeyu introduced her to everyone. “This is my good friend, Ye Xiaoxi. She’s a gentle girl and we’re in the same class. We have a very good relationship. Don’t bully her. Otherwise, I won’t forgive you.”

“How would we dare to bully Yeyu’s friends?”

“That’s right. Your friends are our friends. We will definitely treat her well.”

“Xiaoxi, you’re really beautiful. Come sit beside me.”

Everyone was very supportive and spoke at the same time.

Ye Xiaoxi had never seen such a scene before, and the restraint in her heart dissipated a lot.

She lifted her skirt and sat beside Xiao Yeyu and another girl.

After she sat down, the boy sitting opposite her took the initiative to pick up the bottle and pour her a small glass.

Ye Xiaoxi looked up and noticed his clean, fair, and handsome face. Her face turned red all the way to her neck.

The boy smiled, looking even more charming.

Xiao Yeyu noticed this scene and smiled. “Come, let’s have a toast for tonight.”

The others raised their glasses.

“I can’t drink.” Ye Xiaoxi waved her hand.

“Don’t be such a wet blanket. Everyone needs to drink.”

“Yes, this is sake. The alcohol content is very low.”

“With Yeyu around, she will take care of you when you get drunk.”

Everyone was trying to persuade her.

Ye Xiaoxi was initially quite resistant to it, but when she looked at Xiao Yeyu, who was beside her, she felt that it was fine to be drunk.

After all, they were friends.

Yeyu would never harm her.

Hence, she listened to the others and drank it.

With the first cup, there was naturally a second cup, a third cup…

Thanks to the game, Ye Xiaoxi was forced to drink quite a bit.

The alcohol content of the sake was indeed low, but when she drank too much, the aftereffect came, and she started to feel dizzy.

Ye Xiaoxi’s cheeks were flushed red and she felt a little light-headed.

At this moment, Xiao Yeyu’s phone started to ring.

She turned to Ye Xiaoxi and said, “I’m sorry. My father called. I’ll go out and answer it. Remember not to run around and wait for me to come back.”

“Mhm.”

Ye Xiaoxi nodded.

Xiao Yeyu stood up and left.

After she left, the others continued to persuade her to drink.

Ye Xiaoxi was so drunk that she was about to throw up. She waved her hand and rejected it. “I can’t take it anymore. I’m going to throw up.”

She looked to the side and saw that Xiao Yeyu had not returned yet.

She staggered to her feet and said, “I’m going out to get some fresh air and call Yeyu back.”

Huang Yiyang, who was sitting beside her, stood up and said, “I’ll go with you.”

“No need.”

Ye Xiaoxi rejected politely.

Huang Yiyang followed her firmly and said, “You’re a little drunk. I’m worried.”

After getting drunk, Ye Xiaoxi couldn’t even walk properly and had no strength left.

She was supported by him forcefully as she walked forward.

There was no chance of struggling.

The others did not stop him.

After leaving the restaurant, Huang Yiyang brought Ye Xiaoxi around for a walk.

He couldn’t find Xiao Yeyu.

Ye Xiaoxi suggested to return and wait for her.

Huang Yiyang promised, but he kept bringing her into the dark alley.

Ye Xiaoxi noticed that something was amiss and asked, “What are you doing? Let me go, I want to go back.”

Huang Yiyang shed his gentlemanly look and said with a smirk, “Aren’t you interested in me? Come with me. From tonight onwards, you are my girlfriend.”

“I don’t want to be your girlfriend. Let me go.”

Ye Xiaoxi struggled.

Huang Yiyang tugged at his tie and said disdainfully, “You don’t want to be my girlfriend? I think you can’t wait to become my woman, right? I heard from others that you came from a poor family. To be able to have a relationship with our Huang family is a blessing that you have cultivated for eight lifetimes. Why are you being pretentious? Are you trying to reject me now and then accept me later?”

“I’m telling you, this is not going to work on me. Rather than playing tricks with me, it would be more practical to have sex directly.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to touch her.

In her fury, Ye Xiaoxi raised her hand and gave him a tight slap.

“Shameless! You’re Yeyu’s friend. I’ll tell her what kind of person you are!”

Huang Yiyang was instantly enraged. He grabbed her arm and threw her fiercely against the wall. His gaze was fierce.

“Do you think Xiao Yeyu will side with you if you tell her? What are you compared to our Huang family? Even if I kill you, Xiao Yeyu wouldn’t dare to say anything.”

After saying that, he wanted to force a kiss on her.

Ye Xiaoxi struggled with all her might.

Huang Yiyang couldn’t succeed, and he was filled with anger.

He grabbed her head and slammed it against the wall.

Ye Xiaoxi’s vision darkened.

However, she still risked her life and gathered enough strength to open her mouth and bite his neck.

The strong bite made him bleed.

Huang Yiyang let go of her in pain.

Ye Xiaoxi stumbled out of the alley and happened to see a car passing by.

Without thinking, she blocked the car.

Creak!

The car came to a sudden stop, and the ear-piercing sound of the tires cutting through the road resounded through the night sky.

The car stopped at a spot less than half an arm’s length away from Ye Xiaoxi.

Ye Xiaoxi used the last of her strength and cried, “Save me….
