I leaned against the side of the door, trembling with infinite bitterness and anger, and looked around. There was a vase of flowers on the cabinet by the wall.

I slowly walked towards the vase. Even though Yan Siqi and I had many arguments, we were both women, so I knew how painful it was to be raped. Especially since the man who raped her was still her biological father.

I think that Yan Zhan was waiting for this day to come. When the day of Yan Siqi's engagement finally arrived, and he completely destroyed her, I think that the reason why he protected Yan Siqi like this, was not because of Yan Siqi's safety, but because of Yan Siqi's hymen. I think that he must have harbored a lot of disgusting thoughts in Yan Siqi's mind, such as' being a virgin is the best thing ', which was why Yan Siqi seriously wanted to hand over his virginity to Zhou Jin last time.

Just like Xie Zongming previously, these kind of men were trying to find a virgin, but were they actually virgins? And if you like virgins so much, why don't you let your wife and girlfriend stay virgins forever? In the end, it was just because it was easy to control a virgin. If a man married a virgin, he would feel wronged. He would constantly talk to his wife to control her.

I slowly walked towards the vase, but just as I was about to reach the vase, Yan Siqi's shout suddenly stopped, and following that, I heard a rustling sound.

Yan Zhan was about to come out.

I looked around and quickly walked to the bedroom next door. I leaned against the door with my heart pounding like a drum, afraid that Yan Zhan would notice me.

I heard heavy footsteps outside the door, followed by the slamming of a door.

Yan Zhan left.

I wanted to go next door to comfort Yan Siqi, but I didn't know if I should go.

I gently opened the bedroom door. It was very quiet outside, so quiet that it felt like death.

I stood there, trying to figure out how to comfort her.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Yan Siqi suddenly shouted out loudly. Her voice was extremely mournful, and my heart couldn't help but tremble.

She burst into tears. She was really very sad.

When I walked out of the bedroom, the door to the neighboring room was wide open. I leaned against the wall and looked inside, I don't think Yan Siqi would be able to care about me right now.

Her hair was hanging down in a mess, her makeup was also used up, and her entire body was covered in green and purple blood. When I saw the blood on the bed, I knew that many adult females would not leave any blood on the bed for the first time, and only if the males were too rough would the females bleed. I didn't dare imagine how much pain Yan Siqi would be in just now.

I was about to go up and comfort her when there was a knock on the door and I ducked back into the next room.

After knocking for a very long time, Yan Siqi still did not make a sound.

"Miss Yan, the engagement banquet is starting again." cried the man outside the door. "Please come out."

"Scram!" I heard Yan Siqi shouting, and there was even a hint of tears in her voice.

"Please, Miss Yan, don't make things difficult for us." The man outside the door said again, his voice flat and somehow irritating.

"I told you to scram!" Yan Siqi shouted again, "Scram!" she cried hysterically, but I understood her.

"The engagement banquet has started again. Mister Yan is inviting you over." The person outside the door couldn't wait any longer. He stood outside the door and said, "The makeup artist and the costume have all been prepared."

But this time the answer was not a hysterical scream, and the house fell eerily silent.

I didn't hear Yan Siqi's reply, I only heard the sound of footsteps, followed by the sound of the door opening.

"Miss Yan, everyone is waiting for you." He was very clear that he could use Yan Zhan to suppress Yan Siqi.

Yan Siqi didn't say anything, but I heard the sound of a heavy door closing. It seemed that Yan Siqi had followed the man who stood outside the door.

Yan Siqi should be very afraid of Yan Zhan. After over twenty years of brainwashing, it was normal for her to be afraid of him and listen to his words.

Previously, Li Jie was pressured by her family to the point where she couldn't even breathe. She had spent her entire life helping her family, and her entire being had been dragged down and brainwashed by that family.

The current Yan Siqi was the same, she was being suppressed by her father, to the point where she didn't even dare to resist.

I hate them, but I also feel sorry for them.

Thinking about it carefully, even I was bound, because I couldn't get pregnant, couldn't give birth to the Xie family's son, and was talked about by their whole family for a few years. Xie Zongming even went out to find Little San to have children, but he and his mother still had the face to criticize me, he cheated because he had no way of bearing children, why is it that I, who had no way of bearing children, wasn't a human in their eyes? Is my value only for the womb?

We are all shackled by formless shackles. When will this shackle break?

I think of Zhou Jin, I think I like Zhou Jin because he respects me, he loves me from the bottom of his heart.

When I walked out of the room, Yan Siqi was no longer there. I changed out of my work clothes and put on my high heels and skirt, but I no longer wanted to go watch the engagement banquet. I just wanted to leave immediately.

I walked out of the room and used the black card given to me by Zhou Jin's assistant to return to the refurbished venue.

I stood in the doorway and looked inside. The people inside were still drinking and laughing, and I could barely make out their faces in the light of the crystal lamps overhead.

I slowly walked in. Yi Chen's corpse had already been cleaned up, and not a single trace of it was left on the ground.

I carefully searched the banquet hall, but didn't find Yan Siqi's figure. It seems like she, who had just experienced that kind of thing, wouldn't have the mood to come here.

I really wanted to comfort her. I wanted to hug her, but I knew it would be inappropriate for me to comfort her now.

Just as I was about to leave, I saw the door to the banquet hall open once again. I was stunned when I saw the people who walked in, because the people who walked in were Yan Siqi and Yan Zhan.

Yan Zhan was still smiling, but her face was still tight. Although her clothes, hair, and makeup were not messed up at all, I could still see a hint of sadness in her eyes, and I keenly noticed that even was grabbing onto Yan Siqi's arm. He seemed to be worried that Yan Siqi would do something.

But Yan Siqi's eyes were clearly filled with grief, but she still didn't do anything. Was she threatened?

I clench my hands as I look at her, and I want to go over and comfort her.

Just at this time, I noticed that Yan Siqi's face revealed a smile, but that smile looked more like a wry smile. I followed her gaze and saw Zhou Jin standing there.

In the next second, Yan Siqi flung Yan Zhan's hand away and rushed towards Zhou Jin, followed by her jumping into Zhou Jin's embrace.

The surrounding people started to laugh loudly, and even Yan Zhan started to laugh. It was clear that they thought it was just a small joke.

I stopped in my tracks. I suddenly didn't want to comfort her. The person in her arms was my lover.

I slowly stepped back and felt pain in my heart, but I didn't have any way to blame Yan Siqi right now. After all, she had just experienced such a painful thing.

Then … I'll have to leave.

I turned my head and saw Yan Zhan. Yan Zhan was standing at the side with a group of people wearing black suits and Tang suit surrounding him.

I noticed that Yan Zhan's face was a little flushed, and even a little shiny. His appearance made me feel nauseous.

He really did come from a gangster background. I thought.

"Ah Ying, why did you come so late?" Cheng Haiyue came to my side and said. She smiled as she took my hand and whispered into my ear, "Are you happy?"

I smiled and patted Cheng Haiyue's shoulder.

"I'm a bit tired, so I'll go back first." I'm not used to the atmosphere here. I just feel like maggots are crawling all over the place under this gorgeous banquet. I even feel like some people are maggots themselves.

"Do you need me to send you off?" Cheng Haiyue asked me with concern.

"No need." I nodded.

I turned to look at Zhou Jin, who was in the crowd, and we met eyes. I smiled at him, and he nodded at me.

I turned to leave and walked out of the hall. The main door of the banquet hall closed behind me and I looked back at the high door, carved with intricate patterns.

I took a deep breath as I walked out of the hotel. It was dark outside, stars dotted the inky sky, and the traffic on the road seemed to bring me back to life.

She is only engaged to Zhou Jin now, they definitely won't be living together. Even if Yan Siqi wants to live together with Zhou Jin, Zhou Jin would definitely not agree to it.

However, if Yan Siqi stayed at home, she would very likely rape Yan Siqi again.

I sat in my room and thought for a long time before finally sending Zhou Jin a short message, inviting him to come over after finishing his work.
