21: Chapter 21 I Misjudged You!
An Ruo’s hand clutched the quilt tightly, her fingers turning a pale shade of blue.
Tang Yuchen was nowhere to be seen, and there was a bruise around An Ruo’s neck.
She had changed clothes and used a silk scarf to cover the wound on her neck.
Even if her heart was in agony, she would not abandon herself to despair or harm herself.
So An Ruo obediently went downstairs to eat, and she ate her fill.
After dinner, An Mingqi’s call came in.
He said Tang Yuchen had agreed to continue the cooperation, his voice filled with joy and excitement.
An Ruo indifferently hung up the phone, unwilling to listen to another word from him.
“Hello, An Ruo!” At that moment, Lisa walked into the hall, excitedly greeting her, “An Ruo, is Young Master Chen at home?”
An Ruo glanced at her and stood up to go upstairs.
“An Ruo, why won’t you answer me?” Lisa ran up to her in a few steps, blocking her way.
Looking at her pouting face, An Ruo was speechless, “I don’t know where he is.”
No idea how her words pleased Lisa, but upon hearing them, she smiled happily, “If you don’t know, that’s fine, I’ll call him myself.”
While dialing Tang Yuchen’s number, she walked upstairs.
An Ruo had planned to go upstairs to rest as well, but seeing Lisa go up, she decided to take a walk in the garden instead.
She needed to think carefully about how to escape from Tang Yuchen.
“An Ruo, stop right there!” Suddenly, Lisa charged down from upstairs, letting out a fierce yell at her.
The woman who just moments ago was all smiles had now changed her expression, as if An Ruo was a sworn enemy.
“An Ruo, I used to think of you as such an aloof woman, but I was wrong about you!
You’re nothing but a vixen in sheep’s clothing!”
“Miss Lisa, what do you mean by that?” An Ruowei frowned slightly, displeased.
Lisa, hands on hips, said angrily, “You know exactly what I mean!
The day after you married Chen, didn’t you willingly suggest that if Chen didn’t push you, you wouldn’t sleep with him?
Then tell me, why was Chen’s room such a mess?
Did you seduce him last night or what?!”
Seeing her reaction, Lisa knew she had guessed right and sneered mockingly, “I knew it!
An Ruo, you have no shame!
You’re playing hard to get with Chen, huh?
Let me tell you, Chen is mine, and you better not try to tempt him in the future or I won’t be polite to you!”
An Ruo was livid and didn’t know what to say to refute her.
She pushed past Lisa and walked briskly outside.
“Hey, stop right there!
Does being right hit a nerve, leaving you with no place to hide?!”
An Ruo walked faster and faster, not knowing how long she had been walking until she finally stopped, exhausted.
She sat down on a bench by the road, her mind in complete disarray.
Her heart was in pain, as if the sky was falling down on her, yet there was no one to help her.
She had to bear it alone.
An Ruo covered her face with her hands, and the grievances that had built up over the days erupted.
She could no longer hold back and burst into sobs.
“Sister, why are you crying?!” An Ji’s voice suddenly rang out.
An Ruo looked up in surprise and saw An Ji standing in front of her.
She quickly turned to wipe the tears from her face.
“Xiao Ji, what are you doing here?”
“I came to find you using the address you gave me, and I saw you sitting here.
Sister, did someone bully you?” An Ji frowned slightly, asking anxiously.
