Twilight deepened.

Seeing Mrs. Yuan coming out of the room, Zhong Linlan immediately stood up: "Grandma, what do you want?"

Old Madam Yuan glanced at him and said in a muffled voice, "Go back."

With a hint of surprise in his eyes, Zhong Linlan still pretended to stay: "Grandma, it's already so late, why don't you just stay here? Why bother to go back."

"No." Old Madam Yuan's face remained unchanged, "I don't want to be angry here."

His heart skipped a beat, and Zhong Linlan's smile froze. Who is getting angry here?She spent the whole afternoon under the scolding of the old lady, she has already become a doormat.

"Grandma, I'll take you out." Zhong Linlan concealed his emotions, and took Old Madam Yuan's arm attentively.

Old Madam Yuan frowned, and fiddled with her arms: "You don't need to be hypocritical."

The atmosphere was awkward for a while, Yuan Heting on the side held the old lady's arm: "Grandma, I'll take you out."

Old Madam Yuan nodded naturally.Seeing the backs of the two walking out of the villa, Zhong Linlan's heart was tightly pulled together, like countless spider webs entangled in her heart.

Seeing the old lady get into the car, Yuan Heting said softly: "Grandma, pay attention to your health, I will visit you often."

Old Madam Yuan nodded, glanced at the villa, and sighed, "You have to take good care of yourself." After a pause, she was about to speak, but she didn't know what to say for a while.

The car started, and seeing Yuan Heting still standing there, through the car window, she waved her hand: "Go back quickly, it's cold outside, don't freeze."

Yuan Heting nodded, but continued to stay where he was.

After finally hearing the sound of the car driving away, Zhong Linlan dared to leave the villa.Seeing Yuan Heting standing in the distance, his back seemed a little lonely, she walked over quietly, holding his arm.

Feeling the man's body startled, she looked sideways at him: "Why are you still standing outside?" Seeing that Yuan Heting didn't answer, she had to say again, "Heting, talk to me?"

Yuan Heting withdrew his hand calmly: "Another day, I still have something to do."

Zhong Linlan's eyelids twitched, and he asked, "What's the matter?"

"There are some things to deal with in the company." Yuan Heting still cherishes words like gold.

What can happen to the New Year's Eve?Zhong Linlan suddenly became angry, but he didn't dare to show it, his tone was as gentle as usual: "It's so late, otherwise it won't be too late to go tomorrow."

"It must be dealt with today." Yuan Heting strode towards the direction of the car, with a thick layer of frost hanging between his brows and eyes.

Zhong Linlan froze on the spot, a hint of ferocity flashed in his eyes.It shouldn't have been like this, no matter what the old lady scolded, she could bear it, but now Yuan Heting's hot and cold treatment towards her caught her off guard.

After a while, she withdrew her hatred, put on a proper smile on her face again, and shouted in the direction of Yuan Heting's departure: "Heting, wait a minute."

After a pause, Yuan Heting looked back at her, frowning slightly: "Is there anything else?"

"I'll get you something."

Yuan Heting was naturally puzzled, and when Zhong Linlan took out a coat, it was self-evident.

Zhong Linlan handed the black overcoat to him, and said with a smile, "It's a bit cold at night, how can I do without a coat? Remember to put it on when it gets cold."

Yuan Heting hesitated for a while, then took the jacket: "Yes."

"No matter how important the work is, remember to rest, don't get tired." Zhong Linlan watched him get into the car, and suppressed all those unwillingness.

"Understood." Yuan Heting felt depressed.

This is a very strange feeling, the better Zhong Linlan treats him, the more depressed he feels.

Seeing Yuan Heting's car driving out of the gate of the villa, Zhong Linlan's eyes gradually turned scarlet.

Back at the villa, I swept around the empty room.Big but terribly deserted, what a terrible start to the new year.Seeing the water glasses on the table, the more she looked at them, the more she felt that they were not pleasing to the eye, and she directly smashed them on the ground.

Small fragments splashed, piercing the air sharply.

Auntie was busy in the kitchen, and she was really startled when she heard the sound coming from the living room.She immediately put down the housework in her hands, walked towards the living room, and saw Zhong Linlan with a ferocious face, smashing things wildly.

"Miss, this can't be done." Aunt hurriedly ran to her and took the cup she was about to drop on the ground.

Zhong Linlan was so angry that he couldn't hear anything else, and looked at her resentfully: "Let me go." Seeing that Auntie still didn't let go, she pushed her aside with all her strength.

The aunt didn't stand still for a while and fell to the ground.

"Don't you even want to fight against me?" Zhong Linlan was furious, his cheeks flushed red.

The aunt hurriedly shook her head: "I dare not..."

Seeing the ferocious expression on the woman's face, she immediately didn't dare to say a word, and didn't dare to go forward to persuade her, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.She had known for a long time that Zhong Linlan had been pissed off by Mrs. Yuan, and now that Mrs. Yuan had left, of course she wanted to vent her anguish.

"It's good to know." Zhong Linlan gritted his teeth, "You'd better find out who the future mistress of this place will be."

Sooner or later, she will marry Yuan Heting smoothly, and during this period, she will absolutely not allow any mistakes.

Seeing that the villa was empty, she had no intention of staying any longer, so she had to go back to Zhong's house alone.

As soon as they entered Zhong's house, Zhong's father and Zhong's mother had a flash of surprise in their eyes.

Seeing Zhong Linlan sitting on the sofa with a sleepy expression, Mother Zhong couldn't help but walk to her side: "It's Chinese New Year, why are you back? Aren't you with He Ting?"

"Don't mention it." Zhong Linlan said angrily.

Papa Zhong suddenly felt bad, and glanced at her: "Did something happen?"

Taking a deep breath, Zhong Linlan said with a full face of grievance: "The old lady came to see He Ting today and made things difficult for me in every possible way. I personally cooked a table of meals for her, but she thought my cooking was not delicious, so she made things difficult for her. I counted."

"The old lady's temper is not to be trifled with." Zhong's mother looked sad, "But don't you know how to try your best to please her old man?"

Zhong Linlan's throat clogged, and he wanted to be comforted, but was told again.Her tone was even more aggrieved: "I've already thought of a way, but whoever made her ungrateful all the time, I can't help it. It seems that no matter what I do, she will not be satisfied."

Father Zhong, who was sitting on the sidelines reading the newspaper, interjected, "What about He Ting? He didn't help you?"

Speaking of this, Zhong Linlan's expression became more and more aggrieved, his eyes were covered with a layer of haze, and he shook his head: "I already signaled him with my eyes, but he ignored it."

The atmosphere began to become dull.It was Chinese New Year, and it was supposed to greet the new year with joy, but when something like this happened, no one could be happy.

"I found that He Ting was always hot and cold towards me during this period of time." Zhong Linlan said panicked in his heart.

It seems that only in front of close relatives can one be willing to reveal the fragility of one's heart without any scruples.

"You only have this little ability, why can't you hold a man's heart?" Father Zhong put down the newspaper in his hand, and looked at the wronged Zhong Linlan angrily.

With a shock in his heart, Zhong Linlan opened his mouth, unable to express the pain in his heart.She wanted to be comforted by her family when she went home, but she still had to be scolded.

"I told you to please He Ting and behave better in front of him. Have you listened to these words?" Mama Zhong also spoke earnestly from the sidelines.

"Of course I know, I tried my best." There was a trace of resentment in Zhong Linlan's tone.

"It's impossible for such a situation to happen, where is he now?" Father Zhong's face remained unchanged.

Zhong Linlan paused for a moment before saying, "The company said something happened."

"Look at you, the new year, what can the company do, why don't you keep him?" Father Zhong stood up immediately.

"He insists on leaving, what's the use of me keeping him?" Zhong Linlan's voice grew louder, with tears in his eyes.She forced back her tears.

"Hmph." Father Zhong snorted coldly, "If your marriage with the Yuan family doesn't work out, our Zhong family doesn't have a daughter like you."

"Dad, how can you do this? Am I not as good as the Yuan family's family business? Not as good as your business interests?" Zhong Linlan was emotional for a while.

Papa Zhong glanced at her, pursed the corners of his mouth tightly, and then walked back to the room without saying a word.

The door of the room slammed shut, and the sound seemed to shake the whole building.Zhong Linlan's eyes fell on Zhong's mother, and his voice was hoarse: "Mom, how could Dad do this?"

Mother Zhong sighed, "It's not like you don't know how important this marriage with the Yuan family is, it is related to the future of our Zhong family. Daughter, you have to work hard, and you must not let the Yuan family retreat. married"

At this time, Zhong Linlan didn't want to listen to these great principles that Zhong Ma said, it seemed that the value of her existence was all for the benefit of the family.

"Mom, stop talking." Zhong Linlan stood up suddenly.

Zhong Ma raised her eyes to look at her, and said in surprise: "Mom said these things for your own good, you must keep Yuan Heting for me no matter what this time."

"Understood." Zhong Linlan replied in a muffled voice, and then walked out the door.

Mama Zhong's doubtful voice came from behind: "Where are you going so late?"

"Go and keep him!" Zhong Linlan replied angrily.

The family has become like this, how could she stay here.She couldn't listen to Mama Zhong's next words, she just kept walking outside.

late at night.

The cold wind was blowing, and when she thought of having nowhere to go, she took a deep breath, and her heart became terribly cold in an instant.Wrapping the coat tightly around her body, her eyes were moist.

Before the tears were about to fall, she hurriedly wiped them away.

There was a blast of music coming from the bar in the distance, and compared with the surroundings, it seemed extremely lively.She paused, looked blankly for a long time, and finally walked in.

She ordered a glass of wine, and she drank it alone.One cup after another, pouring it into his mouth.She didn't care about the wine remaining at the corner of her mouth.

Feeling someone hugging her shoulders, she frowned, and saw a burly man looking at her with a smirk.She pushed him: "Get out of here."

The burly man had a lecherous expression on his face, how could he listen to it.

Zhong Linlan was powerless to fight back, his whole body was limp, and when he was about to be dragged away by a burly man, a tall figure stood in front of them.

Zhong Linlan glanced at the man, and asked doubtfully, "Yan Lang?"
