Before dawn, the night is dark.

Lu Yan put on the ointment and turned over from the second bedroom. As soon as he landed, he heard a woman's voice.

"Don't do such dangerous actions again."

Without turning on the lights and with the curtains drawn, she sat alone on the floor in the corner, the curtains blocking most of her figure. She hugged her knees and looked out the window. It was pitch black outside, with no night scene to see.

Lu Yan took out the ointment from his pocket, walked over silently, knelt on one knee to her left, held her face, and applied the ointment bit by bit.

"There's a charity auction next Friday, and I hope you get better soon."

But the man who said this, after applying the ointment on her left face, took a little more and applied it on the back of her left hand.

Meeting Fei Linlin's gaze, he said, "If you make too much, don't waste it."

"But Lu Yan, you can't use the same medicine on burns and injuries."

Lu Yan closed the lid of the medicine bottle in the dark and stood up. The darkness enveloped his tall body. He was reluctant to leave, but he had no reason to stay. The omnipotent man would have such a contradiction. Every minute and every second was in torment. He wanted to hug her shoulders and say "I'm sorry" to her, but he was so restrained that he would not approach her abruptly, but would keep a distance from her appropriately.

"Go to bed early."

Before Lu Yan left, someone grabbed his hand.

"Sit with me for a while, okay?"

They sat side by side, and the sky outside was slightly brighter.

"I still want to explain to you." She said, "My ex and I have broken up completely. In fact, his family has some money, but after knowing what happened in my family, his family didn't agree. Besides, I always think that we are more suitable to be comrades-in-arms than lovers."

Lu Yan slowly realized after a few seconds that she was referring to "we" and that she was not talking about the two of them, but about her and her ex. He was so sad that he wanted to leave immediately, but he couldn't bear to leave.

"Lu Yan, I actually didn't understand for a long time why you would rather put yourself in danger than marry into our family..."

Lu Yan interrupted her: "I heard that dress is very expensive."

"There is something I haven't told you. I hope you won't be too angry. I own 35% of Jiaogulan Company. This company was founded by my predecessor and I while I was studying. It has been profitable over the years."

"...Are you talking about the largest precious medicinal materials company in the country?"

"Ah."

Lu Yan was silent for a moment. In just ten years, the company had grown rapidly and was about to monopolize the Chinese medicinal materials market. He probably understood why Lin Lin never used the card he gave her.

"Is this a clean break?" He sneered.

"If you mind, I can transfer the shares to you." She looked at him, "Do you know why I was able to come right away after you called just now? I was sitting downstairs for four hours. If possible, as an equal exchange, I hope you can take me with you next time."

She is always gentle, but she doesn't know that a soft knife piercing her heart will be particularly painful.

"Do you think I care about your shares?"

He changed the subject: "Tell me what happened to your face."

"Oh, this." Fei Linlin laughed: "I won't tell you."

Dawn has arrived, the sun is peeking out from the riverside, and its light is slowly spreading across the earth.

She stood up and threw herself on the bed. Seeing the man standing alone by the window, she patted his side and invited him warmly: "Would you like to sleep together?"

Lu Yan guessed that this was an attempt to get rid of him, so he left on his own initiative.

Fei Linlin took a short nap due to the torture of the nightmare, but suddenly woke up at nine o'clock, jumped out of bed, tidied himself, put on a mask, and went to the store that was under renovation.

At about 2 p.m., she unexpectedly received a call from Lu Yan. She walked out of the store, trying to avoid the noise of renovations. When she found a quiet place, she saw that the call had been automatically hung up. She called back and the man answered immediately.

"Just woke up?"

"almost."

"Have you got a meal yet?"

"hold head high."

In fact, Fei Linlin was busy in the store and had long forgotten about lunch. She felt hungry only after hearing him talk about it. There was silence on the other end of the phone. A worker in the store called her. She covered the phone, waved her hand to indicate that she would come later, answered the call again, and asked patiently, "Is there anything else?"

Lu Yan was sitting on the sofa in the office, with a video of Fei Linlin answering questions in the hospital on the notebook in front of him. After two days of fermentation, the video became a hit. Netizens were amazed at her stunning appearance, and many people clamored to work with her.

On the table was lunch brought by his assistant. He had been busy with work and only had time to eat now. When he touched the cold food, he suddenly missed Fei Linlin so much that he couldn't help but call her.

"Have you...left?"

"not yet."

"Come work here first." Lu Yan suddenly suggested. He thought that if Fei Linlin was in charge of recruitment, she would have a greater chance of retaining the best talents with the lowest salary; if she joined the sales department, she would be able to achieve better results than those little girls who only let people take advantage of her and those old-timers who were slick and talkative; she could even rise to the top in one step, as her words were very convincing...

"Be your secretary?" Fei Linlin laughed. "Do you like office play?"

"Fei Linlin!"

"I'm sorry, but I have to deny you."

"Why? There are many positions for you to choose from. Don't waste your talent."

Fei Linlin laughed again, "Do you usually poach people with such precision? I'm really honored, but I'm also sorry that my mother-in-law won't let me go out to work."

"She won't know. Don't rush to reject her. You can try for half a month first."

"I'm really sorry." Fei Linlin guessed that Lu Yan might be trying to stop her from going to Qin County. She was a little stubborn and wanted to keep her until the middle of next month, but unfortunately she was too busy to do that now.

She continued to be stubborn and Lu Yan got so angry that he hung up the phone.

Fei Linlin found that the workers were all outside the store, and when she went back, she realized that someone had come to cause trouble. A group of strong men with tattoos on their arms were holding sticks and swinging them at her things. Some people lifted heavy equipment and smashed it down.

She silently called the police, then hid in the alley and secretly called Fei Sisi.

"Did you send those people?"

"Sister, that's good. You reacted so quickly."

"What on earth do you want to do?"

"Of course, I want you to understand that the good of the Fei family is the good of you. Helping me is helping yourself. As for other things, you don't have to spend your precious time and energy. Little bastard, don't think you can fly around just because you have grown wings. Our Fei family has raised you for so many years, so don't be ungrateful."

Fei Sisi sat calmly in the office, facing the huge window: "I will pay for the breach of contract of the small store contract. You just need to complete the email I sent you and be obedient."

The sound of people smashing stores and the woman's arrogant words rang in his ears alternately. Fei Linlin was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he had to clench his fists and try his best to suppress his emotions.

"Feisi, do you want to see how sharp the fangs of a bastard are?"

"Let me see."

Fei Sisi hung up the phone without restraint, until she received the court summons, she suddenly realized that Fei Linlin was not joking.

A large number of expensive equipment in the store were smashed, causing a large amount of economic losses. Fei Linlin handed over the call records as evidence, refused mediation after writing the records, and filed a civil lawsuit in court. Fei Sisi was at a loss and could only call her parents. Fei Yunzhang and Bi Xiulian soon came to find Fei Linlin.

Night fell again, the workers had already gone off work, and she was cleaning up the mess alone. She did not stop even when she saw her parents coming.

"Fei Linlin, do you still know what you are doing? You will die a miserable death if you abandon your family, you know! Sisi is young and naive, and whatever mistakes she made are because we elders didn't teach her well. As her sister, you should be more tolerant and help her. There is no need to push her too far, don't you think?"

Fei Linlin pulled his hand away from his mother, stubbornly demanding justice.

"Do you really want your sister to go in? She's still so young. If she has a stain, how will others look at her? Fei Linlin, she's your sister. Will you die if you give in to her?!"

Bi Xiulian was so angry that she wanted to slap Fei Linlin in the face, but Fei Yunzhang grabbed her hand in time, pulled his wife, and slowly knelt down in front of their eldest daughter.

"It's all our fault. We will compensate you no matter how much it is. Please stop being stubborn and let Sisi go, okay?" Bi Xiulian covered her mouth and cried.

Fei Linlin closed her eyes and inexplicably recalled the ten years when she had studied alone outside. One time, she was hit by a classmate in a speeding car at school and her lower leg was broken. She called home and lay in the hospital for three months, and no family member came to see her.

She also knelt down and looked at Bi Xiulian: "Mother, I don't want to be so heartless, but my sister said I am a bastard."

Bi Xiulian dodged his eyes.

"I will communicate with her properly when I get back. Just treat it as if she has an intellectual disability and don't bother about this time." Fei Yunzhang sighed sadly.

"Okay, I will withdraw the lawsuit. It's getting dark, you guys go back first." Fei Linlin helped his parents up, then turned his back and poured the debris in the shovel into the trash can.

The debris went into the trash can with a crisp sound. When the two elderly people in their 50s walked to the door, they heard her clear voice again: "Father, Mother, this is the last time I will let her go."

Without stopping for a moment, they held the door and left.

When Fei Sisi learned that Fei Linlin had withdrawn the lawsuit, she immediately sent her a smug expression, and then went home as usual. However, as soon as she entered the door, she was hit by a long stick and could not dodge in time.

"Dad, what are you doing!"

"You are a rebel!" Fei Yunzhang was furious.

Bi Xiulian hurriedly tried to grab the stick, tears welling up in her red eyes again.

The stick spun around in Bi Xiulian's hand, but Fei Yunzhang still swung it at Fei Sisi. The gray-haired old man yelled, "Who told her to call Lin Lin a bastard? She's just being rude!"

"Dad, you actually beat me for my sister. I am your biological daughter!!"

Bi Xiulian stood in front of Fei Sisi and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Sisi didn't mean it. If you hit Sisi again, you'd better kill me first!"

Fei Yunzhang threw away the stick, walked forward, pulled Bi Xiulian away, and slapped Fei Sisi in the face.

"This slap is to punish you for your disrespect for your elder sister!"

Bi Xiulian fell to the ground and got up again, rushed over and shouted frantically: "Stop! Do you want this family to be torn apart by that little bitch?"

Fei Yunzhang shook Bi Xiulian off and slapped Fei Sisi in the face again, angrily saying, "This slap is for you to stop being willful and causing trouble!"

Bi Xiulian tried to stop her, but Fei Yunzhang pinched her chin and she couldn't move. All she could do was shed worthless tears.

"You keep calling me a little bitch, Bi. How could I not know you were so vulgar when I married you? You are the one who spoiled Sisi! You adopted Linlin to raise because you couldn't give birth to a child. Look at what you have become now!"

After saying "You guys take care of yourself", Fei Yunzhang turned around and left.
