Zhou Jin didn't answer my question, but his actions became more and more serious. Finally, as if he couldn't hold back his anger any longer, he grabbed my chin.

I couldn't see his expression, but I knew he was angry now, that he was trying to suppress something.

He didn't say anything, just kissed me hard, he did, and my lips, which had just healed, were bleeding again, and then he was in the tub, too, and I heard the water, and the lemon foam stuck to him, and he forced me to turn over, and I was half kneeling in the tub, my hands clinging to the side of the tub, my face against the tub, and the cold sensation brought me to my senses.

The silk over my eyes was heavy with water, and it was about to fall off.

Zhou Jin brutally entered my body, no foreplay, no kiss.

I snorted and bit my lip.

I understood that he hated me.

He hit me again and again, hard, and my forehead hurt against the tub.

I don't know how long it took, but maybe his anger finally died down and he stopped, but his was still pressing down on me.

I gave him a shove, and my groin hurt. I rolled over and lay in the bathtub, but the scarf slipped off at that moment, and the red scarf floated in the water like blood.

Zhou Jin and I were both stunned.

I didn't want to embarrass him, so I picked up the scarf and wrapped it around my eyes again. After that, I lay exhausted in the bathtub.

Zhou Jin's hand fell on my eyes, it was very gentle. He got up from the water and wrapped me in a towel. I leaned against his chest, feeling very at ease.

He wiped my hair with a towel. He didn't say anything, but I felt like he was leaving. The only time I'd felt happy in so long was the end.

He put me to bed and got up to leave.

I grabbed his shirt, and before he could react, I wrapped my arms around his neck and wrapped my legs around his body. I leaned into his ear and whispered, "My head still hurts.

Zhou Jin kissed my lips, then placed me on the bed and left.

My dream is over.

Once again, I fell into a deep and sweet slumber.

When I woke up again, my body had already recovered, only my skin was a little purple. This was the memorial Zhou Jin had left for me.

I put on my pajamas and walked out of the room. The living room, the bathroom, the studio were all cleaned, and there was even stewed beef in the fridge. Everything was fine in this room, except that he wasn't here.

I sat at the dining table and ate slowly. The butterfly brooch was only one step away from being done.

As I drew, I wondered what Zhou Jin really meant, and why he didn't appear in front of my eyes.

Maybe it was because of Zhou Ze or his other family members.

I packed the butterfly brooch in a red velvet box and took it to the office.

Don't think about it. I said to myself.

In the next moment, I prepared to open a shop, regardless of whether it was Ye He, Yan Siqi, or Zhou Jin, they had all disappeared from my world.

Until one day a month later, a letter with a seal in it fell into my hands, with the symbol of the Jewelry Design Competition printed on it.

I sat in the workshop and opened the envelope with trembling hands. Because I had high expectations for this matter, I didn't want to lose to Ye He. I wanted to win.

When I saw the English that was passed on the letter, my joy was indescribable.

I put the letter on the table, wanting to share it with someone, but found no one to share it with.

My best friend, Li Jie, has returned home. My husband, who was once my closest friend, has died. My favorite lover, Zhou Jin, has left me.

I sighed with a smile and turned on my cell phone, intending to talk to my mother.

"Hello, Mom. Are you there?" I sent a video request, and it took me a while to get through.

"What's wrong?" My mother's tone wasn't very good, as if she had been disturbed.

I watched her in the video. She was wearing a black vest and her hair was a mess. I found a kiss on her neck.

"Did I disturb you?" I smiled and said, "Mom, you have a rich nightlife."

My mother looked at me and smiled. "I'm not like you. I have a man."

Are you my mother? I couldn't help but ask myself.

"Baby, are you not done yet?" A male voice interrupted.

I frowned. "Well, goodbye."

"Goodbye." My mother hung up the video without hesitation.

Feeling a little uncomfortable, I put away the letter and began to prepare for the final. I had already decided on what to do, but it was a bit difficult for me to make this thing myself, because I wanted to make a platinum fan with diamonds and gems on it, plus flowers and seabirds. I had already decided on its name.

I began to draw designs with pencil. I wanted to make something different.

A few days later, the list of names for the competition has already been published on the official website of the Jewelry Design Competition. What made me happy was that Ye He did not enter the finals.

"I failed again." I threw what could only be called trash onto the table. I felt like I was going crazy, I hadn't washed my face, I hadn't showered, I hadn't changed my clothes, the oil in my hair was almost dry.

I calmed down for a moment and picked up my tools again. If I can't even do that, then I'm not qualified to compete in the finals.

My cell phone has long been turned off. I don't like people coming to me. At such a critical moment, even Zhou Jin can't do it.

At that moment the doorbell rang. I pretended not to hear it as I continued to work, but the doorbell kept ringing.

I stormed out of the room and stood in front of the door. "Who is it?"

"It's me." A familiar voice came from outside the door. It was Ye He.

I thought about the Yan Siqi and Ye He that I met before when I went to register. I was sure that Yan Siqi looked down on her and she didn't pass the preliminaries, so I thought that her value was almost gone.

"What do you want?" I said coldly. I was still thinking about the unfinished fan and really didn't want to talk to her.

"I'm sorry." Ye He said, "I know what I did was wrong, but I have no choice. I don't want to stay in that house anymore, my mother will only drag me down.

"So …" "What does that have to do with me?"

Ye He, who was standing outside the door, paused for a moment and said, "I'm still useful."

"For what?" I said, hearing her words, I already understood what she meant by useful.

"I can work for you. Any job." Ye He said, "Just like how I did to you before, I can also do it to Yan Siqi."

Her words were direct.

I opened the door and Ye He appeared in front of me. Her clothes were even more fashionable than before, and her bag had a different expensive brand name.

"I don't need it." I said, "I'm not going to win with this dirty trick. I'm going to win fair and square."

Ye He looked at me and said, "Can't you give me one more chance?" Her voice was calm.

"No." "No," I said.

Ye He gave me a deep look before she turned around and left, and I closed the door behind her.

I sat on the sofa, no longer in the mood to work. Just as I turned off my phone, a message immediately came in. During the days when I was shut down from work, Ding Min had called me countless times.

"Ding Min, why are you making so many calls?" I immediately called Ding Min.

When Ding Min heard my voice, she was stunned for a moment before saying, "Where have you been? I can't find you. I thought you were missing? "I've already decided to go to the police."

I smiled and said, "I've been busy preparing for the tournament these past few days."

"Fortunately, I made it in time." Ding Min said, "Tomorrow, Yan Siqi will hold a banquet. You will come with me."

"Eh?" I'm a little surprised.

Ding Min said, "Go, treat it as accompanying me. Yan Siqi thinks that she will definitely win the prize for sure, she has invited all the reputable people in the industry to help her."

"Oh." "Yes," I said, but I didn't particularly want to go.

"Go, according to the rumors, Yan Siqi intends to announce something at the banquet."

… ….

I don't even know Yan Siqi, I'm not interested in her at all. But in the end, Ding Min changed me and said that she would pick me up in her car tomorrow.

The banquet. I put the phone down.

The next afternoon, shortly before it was time, I quickly put on my makeup and rushed downstairs.

Once I got in the car, I leaned against the car and Ding Min passed me a drink and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"I didn't sleep last night. Let me sleep for a while." "No," I said.

Ding Min looked at me in understanding and did not speak another word.

The car soon arrived at the location of the banquet, which was held at the best hotel in the city.

Ding Min and I stood in the elevator and tidied up our clothes and accessories.

Today, I wore a black dress with large flowers embroidered with gold thread. I let my hair down to make myself better, because even though I had put on exquisite makeup, it still couldn't cover the fatigue from staying up all night.

Ding Min pulled me into the banquet hall, which was extremely luxurious. Countless people wearing beautiful clothes walked around, they are all considered to be from the upper class.

I sat on the sofa at the side and rested my chin on my hands. After Ding Min finished dealing with some of the guests, she sat beside me.

"Yan Siqi has always been like this." Ding Min said, a little dissatisfied, "She always likes to show off. This time, she must definitely get number 1 after making such a big scene, if she doesn't get number one, she will use some tricks, such as causing an opponent's accident, her father had already cheated a lot of people."

I listened quietly and listed Yan Siqi as a dangerous character. Actually, I wasn't afraid of Yan Siqi at all, I was worried about the Yan Clan behind her back.

As I thought about this, I looked at the people in the banquet hall. Since those who stayed here were all rich, then would Zhou Jin and Zhou Ze be able to appear?

"Who are you looking for?" Maybe it was because my movements were too obvious, so Ding Min asked me.

I smiled and replied, "Zhou Jin."

"Zhou Jin?" Ding Min thought for a moment, then said: "Ah, Zhou Jin."

"You know him?" I asked, turning to her. It's not surprising that people of their class know each other.

Ding Min nodded and said, "I only know Zhou Jin's name, but I know his brother Zhou Ze."

"Yes." I listened for more information.

Ding Min continued, "Isn't Zhou Ze the CEO of Sheng Shi Group? "I have some business dealings with my family's Old Fang. If I had met him earlier, I would have married him. He is much better looking than my family's Old Fang."

I couldn't help but laugh and give her a nudge.

She smiled and said, "However, the Sheng Shi Group is different from us who do small businesses. Even with my conditions, I can't marry him.

"Yes, that's right." I nodded, and couldn't help but think of Zhou Jin. Even if we were really in love, if we wanted to get married, we would have to go through a lot of hardships, just like what Zhou Ze had told me before, I am not qualified to stand with Zhou Jin, I am not worthy to be with him. Even if I am not married, and am the same age as Zhou Jin, I am not worthy to be with him.

"I've never seen Zhou Ze's little brother before." Ding Min thought for a while, then said: "But recently in the social circles, he mentioned his name a bit more, he just came back from France, he looks pretty good, his family background is not bad, I heard that his personality is also better, many women have their eyes on him."

I nodded, suddenly having an uneasy feeling in my heart.

"But I heard he already has a girlfriend." Ding Min's words made me feel as if I had fallen into an abyss.

I hid my emotions and did not let Ding Min see my sadness. After taking a deep breath, I asked in a low voice, "Do you know who his girlfriend is?"

But just at that moment, the big doors at the upper levels of the banquet hall opened, and Yan Siqi showed her beautiful appearance.
