Liu Menghan immediately came to a conclusion. “Why are you afraid of him? He’s already so disrespectful to you. You don’t have to show him any mercy! Find a man more handsome and richer than him. Drive him up the wall!”

The more she spoke, the more exaggerated she became. Ji Liunian pressed her sore temples and Liu Menghan added, “To be honest, have you really not met a… man who’s not bad?”

“Go and find one for me.” Despite the retort, that man’s thin and soft lips—with a slight upward curve—came to Ji Liunian’s mind. That kiss was domineering and devilish—with a suffocating wildness—as if he wanted to suck her soul clean!

Uh, why am I thinking about that man again?

“Alright, the day after tomorrow is Monday. God knows what Gao Youyi will be up to! Be careful!”

“I’ve got it.”

After hanging up, Ji Liunian frowned unconsciously.

She did not get along with Gao Youyi from the first day she joined the company. However, Gao Youyi kept plying her with alcohol last night and even helped her away when she got drunk. When she woke up the next day, she was in a stranger’s room. She felt that things were not that simple.

She walked into the magnificent villa but before she could reach the door, she heard a sharp voice emanating from inside. “Are you really letting her marry Yichen? Putting aside the fact that she looks like a hussy, their family is so poor that they keep asking us for money every few days! How is she worthy of our Yichen?!”

Ji Liunian stopped in her tracks. She was very familiar with this woman’s voice. It was Yu Yichen’s mother—her future mother-in-law—Chen Yiqun!

Moreover, she seemed to be talking about her marriage to Yu Yichen.

The Yu and Ji families were family friends. She and Yu Yichen had known each other since they were young. When she was young, her parents had brought her to visit the Yu family. At that time, Chen Yiqun’s attitude towards her was very friendly. However, ever since her father’s investment failed three years ago and rendered their family business in jeopardy, Chen Yiqun’s attitude towards her changed and became nasty.
