The early morning hours in Paris seem especially dark.

The car sped all the way and arrived at the outskirts of the manor around seven in the morning.

Zong Du pinched his brows and put the document aside. "What is the agreed meeting time?"

"eight thirty."

There is still more than an hour left.

Soudou leaned back, "Then--"

Knock knock.

Someone knocked on the car window.

Zong Du rolled down the window and saw the old butler in a tuxedo standing outside the door with a respectful look on his face. He asked in French, "Mr. Zong? The Lord wants to see you."

Zong Du frowned and looked at Lu Rang, "What's going on?"

He didn't say hello to the other party.

Lu Rang lowered his head, not daring to look Zong Du in the eye. "Before you came, Zong contacted the Chu family privately, saying that he wanted you to meet the family's youngest daughter."

Zong Du sneered, "Why, going out to the frontier to marry?"

Lu Rang didn't dare to respond.

...

It was almost noon when Xi Yu woke up.

She sat up from the bed with difficulty and rubbed her red and swollen eyelids.

The indescribable fatigue and soreness in her body pierced her nerves. The pain gradually brought her back to her senses, and she remembered that she had been tortured again last night.

Sure enough, something was slowly flowing out.

Xi Yu's face was so red that it seemed like blood was about to drip out, but his eyes were terrifyingly calm.

She pulled the bed sheet to cover her body and went into the bathroom with her legs together.

After cleaning, I felt a burning sensation in my private parts.

Xi Yu took a small mirror and looked at it, and sure enough, he saw broken skin and redness and swelling.

I wonder how many times that donkey did that last night!

Xi Yu was glad that he took the medicine.

After a quick cleanup, I put on my pajamas and went to the regular medicine cabinet outside to look for the ointment I bought yesterday.

Who knew that when I opened the door, I saw Li Rui sitting on the sofa.

Hearing the door of the suite open, Li Rui turned around and greeted Xi Yu with a smile, "Miss Xi."

Xi Yu paused, then quickly smiled, "Where's the young master?"

"The young master went to work in the early morning," Li Rui checked the time, "Breakfast is ready, Miss Xi, are you ready to eat?"

"I'm not hungry."

"Then you..."

Xi Yu pursed her lips shyly, "I... am injured, I want to get some ointment."

Li Rui responded awkwardly but didn't move.

Xi Yu took out the anti-inflammatory ointment he bought yesterday from the medicine box and looked at Li Rui, "Did the young master ask you to take care of me?"

"Yes," Li Rui nodded, "If nothing unexpected happens, I will accompany you when the young master is not around."

Accompany?

Monitor it.

Xi Yu sneered, and suddenly felt like playing a prank, "Then, can you help me apply the medicine?"

She held the ointment forward.

Li Rui froze, "Miss Xi, please apply the medicine yourself. I, I still have things to take care of."

After saying that, Li Rui ran out in a hurry.

Xi Yu sat alone on the sofa. He hummed for a while and returned to the bedroom with unsteady steps.

...

Soudou seemed really busy.

He goes out early and comes back late every day. He has been in Paris for three days. Except for seeing him once before going to bed, Xi Yu basically cannot see him at other times.

Fortunately, Xi Yu didn't need his company, and even hoped that he would not show up.

If Soujitsu on the plane was like a mad bull, then he was a madman who was willing to risk his life when he landed in Paris!

He seemed to treat pregnancy as a task, and he tossed and turned every night.

Obviously, he was so busy with work that he had no time to eat, and there were thin dark circles under his eyes.

But even so, he refused to stop "working".

Not to mention going around Paris during the day, Xi Yu was so tired that he couldn't even get out of bed.

Early on Sunday morning, Xi Yu woke up with body aches and touched the buzzing cell phone beside his pillow.

I swiped the screen and found that it was a message from Cui Tiantian.

"Zong Du and Lin Yanyan have broken off their engagement!"

Cui Tiantian sent several exclamation marks in succession, "What's going on?"

Xi Yu was also surprised and opened the domestic news forwarded by Cui Tiantian.

Xi Yu, "Wait a minute, let me take a look."

After opening the webpage, Xi Yu discovered that the news was not even on the gossip page, but on the financial page, and it was in extra large bold and pinned to the top.

The news did not report the incident in depth, only saying that the relationship between the two families had broken down and the engagement could not be renewed. The second half was full of praise for Zong Du, so much so that Xi Yu could recite it with his eyes closed.

After reading the news twice, Xi Yu remembered the WeChat account he had added when registering.

The phone buzzed again.

Cui Tiantian, "Sister Xi Yu, he wouldn't do this for you, would he? Would he risk his life for the love of his beloved?"

"How is that possible?" Xi Yu replied, "Let's not talk about the fact that Zong Du has always treated me as a toy. Even if he wanted to, would the Zong family allow their only son to do such a thing?"

Cui Tiantian sent out two sighing emojis in a row.

The two chatted for a few minutes and then Cui Tiantian went to bed.

Xi Yu came out of the bedroom and saw Li Rui reading a newspaper on the sofa.

"Assistant Li," Xi Yu sat down next to her, "Do you know that the young master has cancelled the engagement?"

Li Rui shook her head, then nodded, "I just found out about it not long ago, too."

"Do you know why?"

Li Rui smiled dryly, "I'm just an employee, how can I know the boss's private affairs?"

Shouldn't Xi Yu be the one who knows best about this kind of thing?

Xi Yu found the WeChat account of “suspected to be Lin Yanyan” and typed and deleted it, typed and deleted it.

This happened several times in a row, and finally I just cleared the chat box and locked the screen.

Forget it, never mind, it’s none of her business.

...

Chu family.

After sending Zong Du out, Chu Ying returned to the study.

Her father Chu Chengtian was writing calligraphy. She sat at the table with a dark face, "Dad!"

Chu Chengtian didn't even raise his head and laughed, "Why?"

"The cooperation is almost over, but Zong Du is still indifferent to me. Can't you help me?" Chu Ying held her chin with both hands, looking depressed.

"I waited so long for him to cancel the engagement, but who knew he would be so wooden and unromantic!"

Chu Chengtian snorted and laughed, "Not understanding romance? I think he understands it very well."

Picking up the brush to finish, Chu Chengtian threw it into the brush washer and took a handkerchief to wipe his hands.

Seeing that his daughter was unhappy, he sighed and shook his head, "You, when he came out to study, I advised you to take him down. What did you say at that time?"

Chu Ying was awkward for a moment, "I was still young at that time, I didn't think too much about it."

"You didn't think too much?" Chu Chengtian glanced at her sideways, picked up the purple clay teapot and held it in his hand, "I think you think too much."

Chu Ying curled her lips.

"I've long said that this young man from the Zong family will become the leader of this generation of the Zong family, but you refused to listen. You insisted that the side branches were not as good as the main branches, and you had to pester that guy named Zong something. What's the result?"

"dad!"

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything." Chu Chengtian took a sip of tea, "Why are you still angry and embarrassed?"

"Say it again!" Chu Ying slammed the table and stood up.

Chu Chengtian scratched his hair and said, "Okay, okay, let's stop talking and talk about Zong Du, okay? I don't think he is as stupid as you say. It's right for him not to move now."

"Why, I'm not as good as that Lin Yanyan?" Chu Ying straightened her chest, showing off her superior bust.

"Tsk, can he watch that?" Chu Chengtian looked at his daughter, "He brought a woman with him this time, did you know that?"
