The strength he used wasn't great, but I felt a burning pain on my face and his words were like a sharp sword that pierced through my heart. A piercing pain spread to every corner of my body.

Yes, Lou Shaotang had already completely trampled my dignity beneath his feet, and ruthlessly crushed it.

This money, even if I have to kneel, I must take it!

I carried the box and walked out of his study, maintaining my smile as I walked to the entrance of Garden. Just as I took out the car keys from my pocket, Zhong Ruoqing suddenly walked out from the side of the garden and stopped in front of me.

Heh, it seems like he purposely waited for me here.

I put the key back in my pocket and smiled mockingly at her. "Zhong Xiaojie came to see me off?"

Zhong Ruoqing glanced at the box in my hand and ridiculed: "Shao Tang is rather merciful to you."

Mercy? Heh ~

I laughed. "That's right. Not only did he give me money, but he also gave me a child. "

Zhong Ruoqing's face froze, she could not hide the nervousness in her voice: "What child?"

I touched my stomach and said smugly, "He sowed seeds here just now. Say, if I had a child, would Shen Yiru recognize me? Would the old tutor recognize him? "

After a few seconds of being angry, Zhong Ruoqing saw through my trick and said: "Tu Ying, you won't be that stupid to give birth to this child."

I chuckled, "Zhong Xiaojie still understands me, so it's beneath my dignity to have Lou Shaotang's child."

"You are not qualified either!" Zhong Ruoqing arrogantly said, "Tu Ying, I hope this will be the last time I see you here."

I curled my lips, "Since this is the last time, then can Zhong Xiaojie answer a small question for me?"

"What kind of questions?" Zhong Ruoqing frowned somewhat impatiently.

"That day, why was Lou Shaotang in time to arrive? And how did those men suddenly appear out of thin air? "

Hearing my original question, Zhong Ruoqing's brows instantly relaxed. She crossed her hands in front of her chest with a face full of complacency.

"Seeing how badly you've lost, I'll make you rest in peace." She said: "In the end, we still have to thank your own mother Yang Mengzhu. I told her to inform Shao Tang that you kidnapped me. You may not know, but kidnapping is a nightmare in the bottom of Shao Tang's heart, so he would never give herself any extra time to think rationally about it. Adding to what you have done to me, he would even less suspect that you did it. "

"As for the other three men," she paused, gave me a proud look, and continued, "they were hidden in the factory long before you came. As soon as you left, they came out to perform together with me."

Yang Mengzhu, it's Yang Mengzhu again. I sneered in my heart. My mother was really "concerned" with me! It looks like she won't let this go easily if she doesn't kill me. It doesn't matter. We have a long time ahead of us, so I'll play with her slowly.

"Tu Ying, what do you think, is this interesting?!"

Zhong Ruoqing's complacent laughter interrupted my thoughts.

Looking at the smile on her face, I sighed in my heart. This plan wasn't really profound, but it won against her understanding of Lou Shaotang, so she succeeded in her attack.

"Amazing, very exciting!" I praised her loudly, took out a recording pen from my bag, and waved it in front of her. "I have recorded everything you said just now.

Zhong Ruoqing was shocked, her face instantly turned pale.

What he wanted was her expression! I pursed my lips and was about to put the recorder back in my bag when she reacted and snatched it from my hand.

I didn't stop her at all. I let her take it.

She hastily pressed the play button and listened for a long time. There was nothing inside, so she knew that I had played with her.

"Tu Ying, are you messing with me?!" Annoyed, she threw the recorder in my face.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a joke."

My smile is quite crafty, Zhong Ruoqing's face became red from anger.

"Get lost!" She gave me a hard look, bumped me again, and walked back to the house.

Laughing, I picked up the recorder pen and put it back in my bag. I looked up at the second-floor study window. The windows were closed and the curtains drawn.

Goodbye, Lou Shaotang.

I said to myself as I turned and walked out the door.

I drove aimlessly north along the coastal road, thinking about the past three years like a dream.

On the day that I entered the Lou Family, my heart was as calm as still water. I never thought that there would be a day when Lou Shaotang would wake up.

Wiping the tears from my cheeks, I turned to look at the passenger-side locker and smirked at myself. Fortunately, the dream wasn't empty.

I took out my phone, wanting to call Xiao Qian and tell her about Little Yu's surgery tomorrow. Just as I clicked open the contact book, a car that had broken the rules suddenly stopped in front of me. I was startled, so I quickly stepped on the brakes, and after a few steps, I realized that the car didn't show any signs of slowing down.

I panicked, wondering if the brakes had failed.

The car in front of me had long since disappeared, and my car was speeding toward the fence at 120 yards. I clutched my head in shock and screamed, but the car didn't stop because of my fear.

My mind went blank and only two words echoed in my head, "It's over!"

As the car crashed into the sea, the shock of it brought me back to my senses, and I pushed at the door, but the water pressure was so strong that I couldn't open it with all my strength, and I went through the glove compartment to see if I could find a hammer or something to break the glass, but it didn't.

My inability to do anything changed my initial calm back to panic. I knocked on the car door and cried out, I don't want to die, I can't die.

But no matter how much I yelled and beat, it was futile. This was the deep sea, not the land.

As the water slowly flowed into the car, it also slowly swallowed my desire to survive.

I thought of the night we'd counted the stars together at sea; the night we'd faced the pirates together; the night he'd held me in his arms on the street, his body against the warm chest of the locomotive; and the pair of diamond ear nail he'd given me later, though he didn't know it was my birthday; and the night he'd given me the car.

Oh, Lou Shaotang, Lou Shaotang.

I don't understand myself. I'm about to die, so why am I still thinking about that bastard who humiliated me?

But I can't control my thoughts at all. I think he misses him, because he misses him very much.

Thinking back to the last time when I was facing death, Lou Shaotang timely appeared and saved me. But this time, he won't come again, so my heart that was filled with despair became even more dead silent.

Lou Shaotang, this time, we really have to say goodbye.

After silently reciting this sentence, scalding tears once again surged out from his eyes.

By this time the water had reached my neck, and my whole body was shivering with cold and my consciousness was growing dim.

Just as my eyelids grew heavy and I was half asleep, I thought I saw a person swimming towards me.

Was this a mirage before death?

I smiled bitterly. It must have been. Because it's impossible for someone to throw themselves into this bottomless sea without caring for their own lives to save me.

Everything was a dream, an illusion.

I waited with a peaceful heart for the disillusionment to end.

But instead of disappearing, the man came closer and closer, until he reached the door.

I couldn't believe it, but I didn't have the strength to keep my eyes open to see who it was. It was a tall man.

He reached in and pulled up the lock, and by the time he opened the door, my eyes were completely closed. Although I couldn't see, I could feel his body shaking a few times. He probably wanted to wake me up.

But he didn't, because I was almost unconscious, and there was no reaction, and I felt as if he'd pulled me out of the car and then I didn't know anything.

I was awakened by the sound of a cell phone ringing. When I opened my eyes, I felt a sharp pain from the crystal lamp above my head. I raised my hand to block it, waiting for the light to adjust before I lowered my hand.

I struggled to sit up, my head still aching. Looking at the strange room where there was no one, my heart tightened. Where was this?

I knocked my head, trying to remember, but my mind was blank, as if someone had saved me.

Suddenly, I heard the lock turn. I clutched the quilt tightly and looked nervously at the closed door.

The door slowly opened and a tall figure walked in …
