This was an incomparably long dream.

In her dream, she saw countless strange pictures.

However, the male lead of all the stories was a single person. It was Qian Lingyou, who she had to face every day during this time.

They crossed mountains and rivers and finally stopped in front of the volcano. There was no path where they were heading. When they turned around and retreated, there was only an endless abyss.

Just as Tang Xiaoxiao was about to open her mouth to discuss the countermeasures with Qian Lingyou, suddenly, a hand reached out from under the volcano and grabbed her ankle tightly, pulling her into the magma.

The heat wrapped around her, and she felt every inch of her skin and even her soul burning.

However, she didn't reach the bottom. The man in her heart was standing at the edge of the volcano, one step away from her, looking arrogant and cold.

He looked down at her, watching her body sink bit by bit. Just as the sticky, hot flames were about to drown her, she heard his voice.

He said you are not her.

You could never replace her!

Following that, Tang Xiaoxiao was devoured by the endless magma.

"Ahhhhhhhhh—"

She screamed out of reflex and finally returned to reality from the nightmare.

"Miss Tang, you're awake. Thank goodness."

Just as Tang Xiaoxiao stopped screaming, a few figures rushed in from the outside. They measured her temperature and checked her eyelids.

Tang Xiaoxiao looked confused, not knowing what they were doing.

Her memory was stuck in that terrible dream, where she was swallowed by the magma.

But...

She glanced at the doctors in the room and saw the familiar badge on them, Qian Family.

Why was she in Qian Family? Didn't she leave? She tried hard to recall. She remembered when she parted with Qian Lingyou, she had drunk a cup of wine and bent down to tie her shoelaces. After that, she seemed to be unconscious.

Qian Lingyou drugged her?

A surge of anger welled up in her heart.

She suddenly became angry and wanted to roar!

They had agreed to let each other go. How could he use such inferior methods on her?

"Miss Tang, where are you going? Our young master is not here. If you have something to tell him, just send him an email. He is attending the annual family meeting. He may not have the time for calls and messages."

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared at the room door.

From head to toe, only a pair of eyes were exposed like a ghost. But from the voice, Tang Xiaoxiao recognized her identity.

It was Meiying!

Then...

"Can you explain to me what happened?"

"Also, how long did I sleep?"

When seeing Meiying, Tang Xiaoxiao was not in a hurry to leave. She allowed the doctors to examine her. Qian Lingyou was not here. Even if she was angry, she would not vent her anger on others for no reason.

Seeing her cooperate, the doctors and nurses heaved a sigh of relief. Before the young master left, he had specifically instructed them to take good care of Miss Tang. If anything happened to her, everyone in the room would be fired.

"You asked me so many questions at once. Which should I answer?" Meiying said lazily. She leaned against the door frame. She did not want to wear a black robe like she was attending a funeral. But the wounds on her body had not healed yet. Every step she took would affect the healing of the wounds, causing blood to flow out continuously. She had no choice but to do this because black could cover everything.

Tang Xiaoxiao choked on her words.

She could see this girl also liked Qian Lingyou. But if she liked him, go tell him. Why was she glaring at her? Everyone could see she and Qian Lingyou would not have a future.

"Where are my things?"

She was too lazy to quarrel with a jealous woman and turned to ask the maid who had been taking care of her these days.

"Here, phone, wallet, and luggage. No one touched them," The little girl said and stuffed the phone into her hand.

Seeing that she did not ask her, Meiying could not help but snort coldly. She rolled her eyes and sat down to the side, holding her fingers and smiling sinisterly.

[August 2nd 20XX]

Opening the phone, Tang Xiaoxiao was shocked by the date shown on the main page of the phone. Did she transmigrate? Or did someone touch her phone?

Why did she wake up on August 2nd? Doesn't that mean she missed Shen Linfeng's grandmother's birthday?

Heavens! What exactly did she do?

Tang Xiaoxiao clutched her phone. Because she was too flustered, she failed to unlock it several times. Then, text messages, WeChat notifications, and call records popped up one after another.

There were more than a hundred text messages and dozens of missed calls.

The latest one was sent by Shen Linfeng an hour ago, "Xiaoxiao, go home after you have played enough. Grandma and I miss you."

It was just a simple sentence. But it was like a key. Tang Xiaoxiao's tears suddenly spilled out of her eyes and silently fell on the phone screen, blurring the image on it.

She had stood him up, but he did not blame her!

No! She could not delay any longer. No matter what happened, the most important thing now was not to settle accounts with Qian Lingyou but to apologize to Shen Family. It was her fault for betraying their trust.

"Are you going to look for Young Master Shen?"

"If so, I suggest you look in the mirror and change your clothes first."

Seeing her stop crying and walk out, Meiying sneered coldly.

Tang Xiaoxiao stopped in her tracks and turned her head in confusion. Her black pupils were filled with dense coldness, looking wet and sticky like a poisonous snake flicking its tongue at her.

"What do you mean?"

"Look in the mirror," Meiying spread out her hands. Along with her words, the doctors in the courtyard also took a few steps back. All of them lowered their heads and exchanged glances with each other. They wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Little Miss, it's okay. These are bruises. They will disappear naturally in a few days."

Bruises?

Was she injured?

Tang Xiaoxiao was confused. She subconsciously moved her limbs and jumped a few more times. But she did not feel something wrong.

But...

Through the mirror.

Her facial features were distorted by horror!

Her pupils dilated infinitely, flashing with thick fear and disbelief. After preparing for a long time, she carefully lowered her head and lifted her collar.

On the chest and her lower abdomen, the bruises were obvious.

Although she was a virgin, as an adult, she knew what these marks meant.

"There's more on your legs! It's on the inside of your legs and looked great. Maybe when Young Master comes back, we have to call you Little Madam in the future," While admiring Tang Xiaoxiao's panic-stricken appearance, Meiying viciously stabbed her.

"Is there something wrong with the wine I drank?" Tang Xiaoxiao trembled as she stared into Meiying's eyes.

"Right."

"It's a kind of aphrodisiac that can only be cured by men."

"Oh right, Young Master said that he felt sorry this time. This card will be your compensation!"

As Meiying spoke, she took out a card from her pocket and held it between her fingers. She walked over and threw it in front of Tang Xiaoxiao in a humiliating manner.

Sorry?

He ruined her innocence. Just an apology would do?

Looking at everyone's gloomy and inexplicable eyes, Tang Xiaoxiao suddenly wanted to laugh. Did it mean in the eyes of rich people, promises were nothing and money could solve all problems?

"You also took advantage of him, didn't you? Young Master said when he comes back, he will take good care of you," Meiying added.

Take care.

How was he going to take care of her?

Tang Xiaoxiao was so angry that her eyes were dizzy. Her legs trembled as she almost fainted again. Seeing that she could not stand steadily, the little girl at the side hurriedly wanted to help her. She did not expect that the person who had always been amiable to her would directly shake off her hand.

"Go away! Don't touch me!"

Tang Xiaoxiao bit the tip of her tongue, trying hard to resist the desire to faint. It was said that the most miserable suicide method was biting one's tongue. But now, she bit the tip of her tongue hard and allowed the blood to spread into her mouth. However, no matter how much pain she felt, she could not resist the pain in her heart.

She trusted him so much and even regretted they had met late.

But how did he treat her? His words didn't conform to his actions. What did he mean by having no time to take calls? Wasn't this just a lie? Even he felt ashamed!

It was difficult for her to walk. But she was trying to speed up her pace. No matter where she went, she did not want to stay in this dirty place for another second. She felt disgusted. Even the fragrance of the flowers in the yard was the same as the smelly sewer.

"Tang Xiaoxiao, you don't want money? Do you know how much money is in here? It's enough to buy your little and broken company!" Watching her stumble out of the room, Meiying immediately chased her out and stood behind her, gloating over her misfortune.

"My company is small but not broken."

Tang Xiaoxiao didn't turn around. She leaned against the wall and said.

"Also, tell Qian Lingyou I have remembered this. He better pray that he can continue to be strong."

Her small figure was not imposing under the huge lintel of the Qian Family. But when they heard the trembling and endless anger in her words, the hearts of the people present trembled. This childish and ridiculous oath seemed to work one day.

One person did not have this feeling, and that was Meiying.

She sneered, "Is that so? Then I will wait for that day. Tang Xiaoxiao, it doesn't matter if you are not a virgin. What if Shen Linfeng loves you!"

"I don't know if he loves me or not. But I know you won't get someone's heart in your life," Tang Xiaoxiao said coldly. She carried the box and got into a taxi.

She would never forget the Qian Family and Qian Lingyou.

However, she would never forgive them!

"Sister Meiying, if Miss Tang left so angrily, would Young Master vent his anger on us?" When Tang Xiaoxiao's figure disappeared, several servants immediately surrounded her and asked worriedly.

Meiying snorted and played with the card signed by Qian Lingyou in her hand. A sneer crossed the corner of his mouth, "So what? She was the one who wanted to leave. We didn't chase her away."

"But..."

"I am still the chief steward. Do you want to rebel?" Meiying's face darkened as she looked at everyone with a sinister expression.

"We don't dare."

"Then shut your mouths and do what you need to do. As for Young Master..." She looked into the distance with a deep gaze, "Young Master won't be able to return for a while."
