The sun slowly rose from the horizon and a boundless layer of golden light enveloped the surface of the river. In the distance, the riverboat passed by the Ming City Bridge, one by one. The entire city seemed to have awoken from its slumber as its silhouette gradually revealed itself.

Zuo Zixian looked down from the window of the hotel on the 33rd floor, stretched lazily, looked at the time on his watch, and decided to go downstairs to eat breakfast first.

Tabolte sent her a message today saying that she could take care of the matter of the winery and let Zuo Zixian stay in Ming City for a few days to enjoy himself.

This made Zuo Zizhen feel relieved, but at the same time, he also decided to stay in Ming City for a few more days. He also decided to ask Rui Chen Yang out for a meal as a form of gratitude.

While eating breakfast, he heard someone say that there was a jewelry store nearby. Zuo Zixian just happened to be fine, so he decided to take a look after breakfast.

But who would have thought that not long after she left, she would come across a torrential downpour. Standing by the side of the road, she hastily ran towards the shop across the street.

When they arrived at the entrance of the shop, most of them were also wet.

She was preparing to find a supermarket nearby to buy an umbrella, but when she looked around, she found that she had taken the wrong road.

He was waiting for the rain when he suddenly felt something under his feet. He looked down and saw that it was an umbrella. It looked quite new.

She raised her hand to ask the people around her, but none of them looked as if they had lost their umbrellas.

Since this was the case, she just so happened to be lacking an umbrella. She could use it for now and then return it to the nearby lost property collection office.

Hiding in the corner, Zhou Heng watched as Zuo Zixian left. He shook his head helplessly and followed suit.

Since Tian Ling Yi Heng had an important meeting to attend, he asked Zhou Heng to come over and look at Zuo Ziqian. That umbrella was naturally something Ling Yi Heng had informed him to buy for Zuo Zixian.

However, he also didn't understand why Ling Yiheng would go to so much trouble to directly deliver the umbrella to her.

Zuo Zirong always felt that someone was following her, but every time she stopped and turned around, there was no one following her. In the end, she could only assume that she was overthinking it.

Zhou Heng received a call from Ling Yiheng, saying that the meeting was over. He asked for Zuo Zixian's location, and arrived not long after.

After he came over, he sent Zhou Heng back to the company to take care of things, while he followed Zuo Zixian.

Zhou Heng looked at Ling Yiheng, wanting to say something. However, he did not say anything and could only drive to the company.

After walking around for a while and feeling tired, Zuo Zixian sat down in a café with open air and ordered a cup of coffee, quietly watching the scenery of Ming City.

Ling Yiheng dodged and entered the room, sitting in the corner by the window. He saw every single movement of Zuo Ziqian's.

Zuo Zixian probably hadn't given himself a vacation like this for a long time. He stirred his coffee in silence, thinking about everything that had happened since the incident at Dix winery and his father.

It seemed like it was from another world, just like yesterday.

For no reason, the image of that grave yet flawless face appeared in his mind again. His eyes were always filled with hostility and alienation.

Ling Yi Heng, why is he always lingering in her mind? He was clearly going to forget!

Zuozi's heart tightened. He raised his head and took a big gulp of coffee, trying hard to temporarily expel the man from his mind so that he wouldn't be haunted by his shadow.

"Left Scholar …"

A woman's voice sounded from behind him, startling Zuo Zisheng, who hurriedly turned around.

A woman approached her and waved.

The woman wore a fiery red dress and a veil. Her curly, wine-colored hair was loose, and her smooth face was round. She carried a diamond the size of a pigeon's egg, and on her wrist was a conspicuous jade bracelet.

She carried a $100 thousand GIVENCHY bag, took off her sunglasses and sat directly across from Zuo Zixian.

"Sorry, you are …" Zuo Zixian looked suspiciously at the chubby woman in front of him, obviously not recognizing her.

However, the woman passionately grabbed her hand, "Zixian, don't you remember me? I'm your classmate in university, Luo Yang! "Me!"

"Luo Yang?! You are Luo Yang? " Zuo Zi Wu was greatly surprised.

Luo Yang, who had been in the same class as her in university all those years ago, had obviously grown up to be jade-like. He had looked very young, but who would have thought that in just three years, she had already changed so much?

"Yes, it's me!" I didn't expect to see you in Ming City. Didn't you come from France? " Luo Yang said, ordering a cup of coffee for himself.

"Oh, I'm here to discuss business." Zuo Zi smiled, reuniting with her university classmates made her feel good.

Luo Yang was obviously very happy to be able to meet Zuo Zixian, the two of them started to chat.

"Right, Luo Yang, back then …" Why did you have to take a break from school? " Zuo Zixian asked a question the whole class actually wanted to ask, but no one could find her at that time, so they didn't ask.

In the last year of their university, Luo Yang did not come to class. After that, there was no news of her. The class director only said that she had been suspended from school and that no one else knew anything about her.

Luo Yang sighed and told Zuo Zixian that her father had gone bankrupt that year, and he no longer had the money to keep her in France to study. He could only force her to suspend her studies.

"Oh, what a pity. You're only a year away from graduating with a diploma and degree." Zuo Zixian could not help but feel regret for her.

However, Luo Yang seemed to not care at all as he waved his hand, "It's all in the past, I'm living a good life now, my husband favors me a lot!"

"Hubby? "Are you married?" Zuo Ziqian's eyes widened in shock, and then he realized that Luo Yang did look like a noblewoman.

Luo Yang nodded and then told Zuo Zixian about his marriage. It turned out that her father had arranged for her to go on a blind date after she had returned home. In the end, he had chosen the son of the head of a transportation group. That was her current husband.

She seemed to be very satisfied with her current life as a rich wife. Zuo Zixian sighed with emotion at the fickleness of his life, but at the same time, he was happy for her. He had found his perfect husband.

After the two chatted about the interesting things about the university, Luo Yang asked about Zuo Zixian's current situation.

"Zixu, I remember your family owns a winery, right? Business is good now, isn't it? "

"Ah, not too bad."

Luo Yang's eyes darted around as he suddenly thought of something, saying, "I wonder if you're interested in making investments? "I've made a few investments with my husband and I've already made several times more. If you're interested, I can take you along with me."

"Investment? How many times? " She didn't know much about this, but she was still a little tempted by the idea of making money.

Furthermore, Luo Yang was her university classmate, with Zuo Zixian's understanding of her and her current wealth, it was impossible for him to lie to her.

Besides, the more money the better, she still needed to repay Ling Yiheng's money.

Thus, after Luo Yang gave her an introduction, Zuo Zixian decided to consider investing.

What he did not know was that when he saw the conversation between her and Luo Yang, Ling Yi Heng could not help but call her stupid.

Initially, he didn't want to bother with her and wanted her to be tricked as a form of teaching him a lesson. However, in the end, he still couldn't harden his heart.

On the way back, Zuo Zixian remembered to call Rui Chenyang and ask him out for a meal.

As soon as she picked up the phone, before she could open the screen, her phone rang.

The caller was Ling Yiheng.

Zuo Zixian subconsciously did not want to answer his phone, but her heart softened at the thought of what she had heard from her mother earlier, what he had done for them.

After the phone rang for the first time, she stopped. Just as she was about to dial it back, she received another call.

This time she didn't hesitate. She cleared her throat and picked up the phone.

"Hello, is something the matter?"

Hearing her cold voice, Ling Yi Heng snorted. "You stupid woman, I think the one in trouble is you."

She frowned at his words. "What do you mean?"

"Zuo Zixian, you stupid woman, you'd better not give the money to that university classmate of yours called Luo Yang. Otherwise, I guarantee that you'll regret it!"

Luo Yang? How did he know?

"Get someone to follow me!" Zuo Zixian almost jumped up when he thought of this, he didn't expect him to use this move.

Not only did the man not deny that he was following her, he even boldly said, "If he wasn't following you, how would he know that you would be so stupid?"

Zuo Zi Xing bit his lips and rolled his eyes in anger.

Ling Yi Heng then told her about Luo Yang and her husband cheating on her by creating an investment scam.

Even though he was skeptical, Zuo Zixian still said that he would investigate, and he didn't need to meddle in other people's business.

"Woman, you just don't know what's good for you."

"Are you finished? "Then please stop following me. I'll be back in France soon. You don't have to worry about me anymore." She purposely emphasized the word 'concern' so that he would understand the irony.

Originally, she really wanted to thank him, but with his shameless and overbearing attitude, it was impossible for her to converse peacefully with him.

It seemed that she wouldn't be able to properly express her thanks to him and even treat him to a meal as her mother wished.

"I forbid it!"

Zuo Zixian's eyes widened in surprise, "What are you not allowing?"

"I forbid you to return to France. Come to L. Force at once, I want to see you!" His momentum was overwhelming.

Zuo Zixian rejected without even thinking, "Sorry, I'm busy, I'm going back to the hotel."

"I will give you only half an hour. I want you to appear before me at once, or I won't be able to guarantee that your father will continue to stay in the hospital in Boston." The man's words were as clear as ice.

Zuo Zixian didn't think that he would actually use his father to threaten her. It seems like she didn't misjudge him because he was cold-blooded, and the remaining gratitude she had towards him was almost completely gone.

She gripped the phone tightly, gritting her teeth as she replied, "Alright, I'm here. Just you wait!"

Hearing this, the man's clear and sharp eyes flashed with a trace of satisfaction.
