Abandoned after first marriage due to infertility, married into a wealthy family and had two childre

In the study room.

Yuan Yihong was playing with his lighter with a gloomy look on his face.

Kong Si glanced at it secretly and thought that he came at the wrong time.

Looking at the depressed look of the young master, he has probably been frustrated by Bai Xiaowei again.

He was puzzled. Although the woman was pretty... okay, let him be objective. It was undeniable that Bai Xiaowei was a great beauty with excellent bone structure and skin. Even if you looked closely, you could not find any flaws in her facial features.

But, with that bad temper that makes her always throw people the wrong look, how can she be as cute as a delicate and coquettish beauty?

I really don't know what the young master is trying to do?

After living a comfortable life for too long, are you looking for trouble?

"Everything is arranged?"

Kong Si, who was secretly complaining in his heart, said dignifiedly: "Yes."

Then, he began to report his detailed arrangements to Yuan Yihong.

Yuan Yihong listened with approval. With Kong Si around, he could worry less.

As we were talking about business, we heard two knocks on the door.

Kong Si immediately stopped talking, glanced at the young master, and said loudly, "Come in."

The study door was pushed open. When they saw that the person who brought the coffee was not a servant but Bai Xiaowei, Yuan Yihong and Kong Si looked at each other inconspicuously and then quickly looked away.

Yuan Yihong put away his previous gloom and smiled gently: "Why are you sending it? Where are the servants? These lazy guys, wait and see how I deal with them later."

Bai Xiaowei lowered her eyes to hide the guilt in her eyes: "It has nothing to do with them. I came to give it to you on my own."

As he said this, he placed a cup of coffee in front of Yuan Yihong, then turned around and gave the other cup to Kong Si.

"Oh?" Yuan Yihong picked up the spoon and stirred it gently, his voice even gentler, "I'm flattered."

As he spoke, he took a sip of the coffee and commented, "Hmm...the coffee Xiaowei sent tastes more fragrant than usual."

Bai Xiaowei felt a little guilty.

Looking at the smiling man and listening to his doting tone, she looked away awkwardly.

She happened to catch a glimpse of Kong Si from the corner of her eye and saw that he didn't move at all, as if he had no interest in the coffee she brought him.

This strong contrast suddenly gave her an impulse.

He wanted to do whatever it took to stop Yuan Yihong.

However, this impulse was only momentary, and it went away quickly as it came.

In the end, she still rolled him up and threw him into a corner.

Yuan Yihong held his coffee leisurely and sipped it carefully, exuding the elegant and refined aura of a nobleman from a prestigious family.

Although he was sitting, his aura was undiminished, and the occasional glance he cast over brought with it a strong sense of oppression.

Bai Xiaowei had never felt before that time would be so difficult to endure when facing Yuan Yihong.

Maybe she was just feeling guilty.

I always felt that the compelling gaze would linger on her face from time to time.

The feeling of a thorn in her back made her heart beat faster.

Not to mention the maid, who was bribed by Qiao Yuanzhi and betrayed Yuan Yihong. Now she is ordered to supervise Bai Xiaowei to drug Yuan Yihong. If she fails, what awaits her will be a torture more terrifying than the hell.

She hid behind Bai Xiaowei trembling with fear, only taking a peek from time to time to make sure that Yuan Yihong was drinking the coffee with added ingredients, sip by sip.

When Yuan Yihong drank half of the cup, Bai Xiaowei felt breathless and mustered up the courage to speak: "You guys are busy, I'll leave first."

Yuan Yihong smiled at her with an ambiguous tone: "Well, come to me if you have anything to do. You are not allowed to go to the beach alone."

Bai Xiaowei's mind suddenly flashed back to what the man said in the morning: "You won't have the chance to jump into the sea", and her heart suddenly softened.

She collected her thoughts, nodded to Yuan Yihong, then turned and left.

It was not until she walked a long way out of the study that Bai Xiaowei felt her legs going weak.

She turned her head and looked at the maid: "Can I report to Qiao Yuanzhi now?"

The maid raised her eyes, her face showing an expression of joy that could not be concealed: "Miss Bai, wait for my good news. Mr. Qiao always takes his promises seriously, and will definitely arrange for you to set off as soon as possible."

The last two words were as light and vague as a whisper.

I don’t know if Bai Xiaowei heard it, but it doesn’t matter anymore.

Bai Xiaowei's heart was beating faster. She walked back to her room with weak steps, locked the door, threw herself heavily on the bed and closed her eyes.

In her thirty years of life, she has always acted uprightly. She has never done such a shady thing. It is not only a reshaping of her worldview, but also a mental torture.

I was drowsy and my consciousness gradually blurred. I didn't even know when I fell asleep.

"boom!"

The deafening sound was like thunder, causing the ground to tremble.

Bai Xiaowei, who was sleeping, felt a shaking beneath her body. Before she opened her eyes, she heard a "pop" and the decorative paintings hanging on the wall fell to the ground. The tea tray and tea sets on the table also made a "ding-dong" sound.

The blackout curtains make the room pitch dark.

Bai Xiaowei wanted to turn on the light and pressed the switch several times, but there was no response.

And with the loud noise just now, it seemed like the signal for launching an attack on the city in an instant, "bang bang bang", crackling sounds louder than firecrackers were heard continuously.

No matter how slow Bai Xiaowei was, she knew that the situation had changed.

She walked to the window in the dark, lifted a corner of the curtain, and suddenly, the blazing flames came into view.

In the firelight, countless people in black were fighting with wooden warehouses of various types.

The sparks from the dense fire ignited the wooden house where the servants lived. Many unarmed servants fled from the wooden house in panic and ran towards the main building where she was.

However, as he was running, he fell down and never got up again.

Some of the men in black who had run out of bullets simply gave up, threw away their weapons, took off their shirts, and rushed towards the nearest opponent with bare chests, stabbing him with their punches and raising dust.

The sky was filled with gunfire, blood and flesh were flying everywhere, and human lives were worthless.

The Shura field that should have only appeared on the battlefield was now being played out before her eyes.

Bai Xiaowei lowered the curtains with trembling hands and slowly slid down to the ground.

Her heart was in a knot and fear enveloped her.

There was an air-conditioning vent right above her head, but Bai Xiaowei didn't even have the strength to move. The cool wind blew in gusts, making her feel bone-chilled.

At this moment, she felt deeply powerless.

She couldn't do anything, not even the ability to protect herself.

She had already guessed that this was a war to seize power initiated by Qiao Yuanzhi.

Don't ask her why she didn't escape during the chaos.

There is a Shura field outside with bullets flying everywhere. If you hide here, you can still survive for a while. If you go out, you will only die faster.

Tears slid out of my eyes, flowed freely in the darkness, and soaked my sleeves.

I don’t know how long I spent in the darkness, but the dense "bang bang" sounds outside the window gradually became sparse, which indicated that the battle was coming to an end.

The outcome has been decided.

"Oh!"

The tightly closed door was kicked open with force, and beams of dazzling light shone in, leaving Bai Xiaowei, who was sitting in the corner, nowhere to hide.

Qiao Yuanzhi walked into the room with a triumphant stride, looking down at the curled up woman with a mocking and contemptuous smile on his face.

The words he said were unconsciously arrogant: "So the famous Bai Xiaowei is just like this."

Apart from a nice face, what's the difference between him and those brainless idiots?

"Mr. Qiao is really capable, so don't borrow my hand."

Bai Xiaowei sniffed, her nose a little stuffy, not sure if it was because she had been crying or had been exposed to the cold wind for too long, but the words she said were full of sarcasm.

Qiao Yuanzhi's smile froze, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes: "You are looking for death!"

Bai Xiaowei said in a cold voice: "Mr. Qiao, are you going to break your promise?"

Qiao Yuanzhi laughed out loud.

Bai Xiaowei raised her eyes and calmly watched him laugh wildly. Her bright eyes shone like stars under the strong light.

Qiao Yuanzhi finally stopped laughing, looked down at Bai Xiaowei who was in the center of the beam with no way to escape, and smiled grimly: "I never break my promise. If I promised to take you home, I will definitely take you to the end."

As if he was afraid that Bai Xiaowei would not understand the deeper meaning of his words, he kindly explained: "Anyway, Yuan Yihong has gone to the underworld. I will send you to see him. He will surely be smiling in his grave. This can be regarded as my last loyalty to him."

Bai Xiaowei opened her eyes wide in disbelief. Yuan Yihong was dead? How could it be...

Qiao Yuanzhi laughed out loud: "Hahaha, you stupid woman, you don't think that the powder I gave you can really help you sleep... Hahaha, how can there be such a stupid person... Haha, Yuan Jingshan, ah Yuan Jingshan, you are a great hero, but your son can even fall for such a stupid trick... Haha..."

Qiao Yuanzhi's hearty laughter echoed in the room.
