The next day, in the afternoon of the second day, Lin Chaoyu woke up. There was no one beside her anymore. “Hiss…” She turned around but felt as if her body had been run over by a wheel. Her entire body was aching. Lin Chaoyu lifted the blanket. Her entire body was covered in bruises and hickeys. She rubbed his temples. The madness from last night suddenly surfaced in her mind. Her face instantly looked like a ripe apple. How did she become like this… She patted her shy face and slowly sobered up.

When she went downstairs, Auntie Zhang told herself that Tang Pengze had already gone to work and the food was ready. Lin Chaoyu looked up and saw that the lunch on the table was still very sumptuous. The aroma of the food constantly stimulated Lin Chaoyu’s appetite and made her swallow hard. Last night, she had really consumed too much energy. She was so hungry that her stomach was growling.

As soon as she sat down, two uninvited guests arrived at the house. The security guard informed her that Miss Lu was here to visit. Auntie Zhang took one look at Lin Chaoyu and went out to welcome her. When Lin Chaoyu heard this, she pretended to be nonchalant and continued eating. However, in her heart, she was thinking, Tang Pengze was at work at this time. Why did Lu Xi come to the house? It seemed like she was not looking for Tang Pengze, but herself.

After Lin Chaoyu finished her meal, she went to the reception area in the back garden. There was an open-air pool here. The sunlight shone on the sparkling water surface. Lin Chaoyu could not help but sigh at how the life of the rich was really lavish. She looked up and saw Lu Xi sitting on a lounge chair by the pool. Beside him, there was a woman who was staring at her with a vicious gaze. This person was Zhang Xiaoya.

Lin Chaoyu couldn’t help but feel puzzled. Why were the two of them together? It turned out that the Qian family had already been turned upside down. The only precious son of the Qian family, Qian Yang, was sent to the hospital last night. The Qian family found out that he had offended Tang Pengze’s woman at the banquet, but they could only swallow their anger.

However, Zhang Xiaoya suffered. She was dumped by Qian Yang and her number was blocked. No matter how much she begged Qian Yang, she was rejected. Seeing that the rich second-generation heir that she finally managed to get close to was gone just like that, her dream of marrying into a rich family was instantly shattered. Zhang Xiaoya blamed everything on Lin Chaoyu.

Hence, she started to look around. After asking around, she found out that Tang Pengze had a fiancée, Lu Xi. On the other hand, after Lu Xi heard Zhang Xiaoya’s complaints, she was shocked that Tang Pengze did so much for Lin Chaoyu. The more she heard, the more she felt that this woman could not continue to stay by Tang Pengze’s side. The two of them discussed and came to look for Lin Chaoyu in the name of visiting her.

Lin Chaoyu looked at the two of them calmly. Lu Xi went straight to the point and said, “Tell me, how much do you want before you leave Ah Ze?”

“Are you two really engaged? Why hasn’t Tang Pengze mentioned you to me before?” After hearing Lu Xi’s words, Lin Chaoyu could not help but voice out the doubts in her heart.

Lu Xi felt that Lin Chaoyu was flaunting her relationship with Tang Pengze. Immediately, anger rose in her heart, and the soft look on her face disappeared completely. She glared at Lin Chaoyu fiercely and raised her hand to slap this annoying woman in front of her.

Lin Chaoyu reacted and quickly moved her body to the right to avoid Lu Xi. However, Lu Xi did not control her strength well. She leaned forward and fell into the pool behind Lin Chaoyu. At that moment, Auntie Zhang’s voice came from outside the door.. “President Tang, you’re back?”
