Staring at his daughter who was no longer under control, Shen Cong said ruthlessly: "Since you don't like the Gu family, then go to the Qin family. The eldest son of the Qin family just lost his wife last month, and he is in need of a close friend. His father is interested in making friends with me, and he has specially asked about you!"

Shen Tingnuo's face turned pale. Qin Zuan, the eldest son of the Qin family, was lustful and violent. I heard that his wife was beaten to death by him!

She looked at Shen Cong breathlessly. For the sake of profit, he could go to such an extent without caring about the relationship between blood relatives!

As if Shen Cong didn't see her pale face, he said ruthlessly: "Gu family and Qin family, you choose one."

Shen Tingnuo bit her lower lip tightly until she tasted a hint of blood. Then she uttered a few words in a deep voice, "I'm going to Gu's house to accompany Brother Yan Chi."

"There is a private party today. You and A Yan should go. A Chi will also go." Shen Cong ordered.

"Got it." Shen Tingnuo obeyed.

"Make more connections and stop causing trouble for me. If you continue to embarrass the Shen family, I will have no choice but to let you marry into the Qin family!" Shen Cong warned. He knew that his daughter was not someone who would just accept things passively.

Shen Tingnuo took a deep breath and clenched his fists, "Don't worry, I will never cause any trouble for you."

No wonder!

"Go out and dress up nicely, Tingnuo. You've grown up and are no longer a child. You know better than me what to do. I don't ask you to be rich, as long as you can help the Shen family a little." Shen Cong softened his voice, trying to repair the relationship between father and daughter.

At this moment Shen Tingnuo just felt that he was hypocritical. He turned around and left silently, slamming the door shut.

After leaving the ward, I caught a glimpse of a tall man leaning against the wall with a cigarette between his fingers.

Her eyes were red and wet as she asked, "Did you already know the reason why Shen Cong asked me to come here?!"

Now she doesn’t even call him dad anymore, she just calls him by his full name.

Fu Xiuyan glanced at her lightly, "So what if you know, so what if you don't know."

"You are so despicable. If I die one day, you will be an accomplice!" Shen Tingnuo cursed with hatred. He knew that she was entering a tiger's den by coming to the hospital, but he still forced her to come!

Fu Xiuyan took a puff of cigarette, walked up to the girl, lowered his neck slightly, and slowly exhaled a thin puff of smoke towards the girl's angry little face, his obsidian eyes full of mockery.

"Please me and you can go home now."

The thin smoke was pungent. Shen Tingnuo stepped back, covered his nose and coughed uncomfortably.

The man sneered: "Squeamish."

He crushed the cigarette in his hand.

After he recovered from the cough, Shen Tingnuo glared at him fiercely, "You savage who smokes in a public place, you want me to beg you? Stop dreaming!"

Fu Xiuyan raised his eyebrows and said, "You have backbone. I hope you can maintain your backbone until the party."

"Don't worry, I have the guts to last until the day you die!"

If you want her to beg him, just dream on!

Fu Xiuyan sneered, said nothing more, and turned away.

Shen Tingnuo was reluctant to follow.

Before going to the party, they went to a special styling studio.

"Mr. Fu, Miss Shen, these are this year's new haute couture evening gowns. They haven't been released on the market yet, and each one is unique."

Several staff members in uniform pushed a row of clothes over and let the two choose.

Shen Tingnuo, who was sitting on the sofa, pointed casually, "Let's go with the black one."

The female staff member closest to the skirt took out the black skirt that Shen Tingnuo had specified, and asked again uncertainly: "Miss Shen, is this it?"

Shen Tingnuo glanced at the skirt he pointed at casually and couldn't help but smile. He was very satisfied, "Yes, this is it."

This dress is black from head to toe, with no other extra colors. The key point is that it has long sleeves and a veil.

The effect on the upper body is basically that the whole body is wrapped tightly and only the eyes can be seen.

The skirt that she pointed at was exactly the skirt of Shen Tingnuo's dreams.

"This..." The female staff member was not sure whether Shen Tingnuo was joking or something else, and looked at the man sitting on another sofa inquiringly.

Fu Xiuyan, who was reading a magazine, raised his head, glanced at the skirt Shen Tingnuo had chosen, and said, "The red one."

Shen Tingnuo was not happy, "I want the black one!"

"We are going to a party, not a funeral." Fu Xiuyan said to the female staff, "Take her downstairs to try on the skirt."

"Yes." The female worker put away the black skirt, took the red skirt chosen by Fu Xiuyan, and said to Shen Tingnuo who was reluctant to move her buttocks, "Miss Shen, please come this way."

Shen Tingnuo crossed his arms and said persistently: "I want the black one!"

Fu Xiuyan didn't even look at her, and threatened calmly: "The party is about to start. If you dawdle any longer, you will bear the consequences if you are one minute late."

After hesitating for a while, Shen Tingnuo chose to give in temporarily, got up and followed the female staff to the changing room.

As soon as the girl left, Fu Xiuyan threw the magazine on the table, took off his glasses in annoyance, sank into the sofa, and closed his eyes as if exhausted.

After a while, the phone in his pocket vibrated. He took it out and saw that it was a familiar number with no remarks. He answered it without thinking.

"Boss, there is some progress on the matter you asked me to investigate." A low, hoarse voice came from the other end of the line.

"Speak." Fu Xiuyan remained leaning against the sofa and closed his eyes again.

Standing in front of the mirror, Lu Jiu looked at himself in the mirror and said, "Young Master Jiang's private life is very clean. He and Miss Yun did meet in the hospital."

There was silence on the other end of the phone, only the sound of shallow breathing could be heard, Lu Jiu continued: "According to my tracking during this period, Master Jiang is serious about Miss Yun, and he is not just playing around.

Young Master Jiang seems to be ready to make public his relationship with Miss Yun tonight, so you don’t have to worry about Miss Yun being played around with by others.”

"Okay, got it." Fu Xiuyan said calmly, "From today on, you don't have to follow them anymore. Go back to your original job."

Lu Jiu looked at his face in the mirror, which was divided into two halves by the scar. He didn't know whether to smile or not. The pigmented scar seemed to be alive and moved along with the skin texture on his face. It looked very scary.

After hesitating for a moment, he continued, "Boss, when I was investigating Young Master Jiang's private life, I found something very interesting."

"What's the matter?" Fu Xiuyan still had his eyes closed.

"I'll send you a screenshot of the video. It's quite interesting and you might be interested." The smile on Lu Jiu's face gradually widened, and the dark scar became even more terrifying.

Fu Xiuyan frowned, wanting Lu Jiu to stop keeping him in suspense, but before he could say anything, the call was hung up.

A minute later, the text message alert sounded.

Fu Xiuyan clicked it and saw a clear, enlarged screenshot of the video.

On the rooftop, a girl in a striped hospital gown was leaning against the wall, sleeping soundly with her eyes closed, a half-finished drawing board resting on her knees.

Next to the girl sat a man wearing the same striped hospital gown. His eyes were empty and lifeless. His hand was raised in mid-air, and his slender fingertips gently twisted a strand of the girl's hair on her shoulder. There was a faint doting smile on the corner of his lips.

Fu Xiuyan knew both of these people, one was Shen Tingnuo and the other was Jiang Huai.
