Wen Li turned to look at Huo Yuanchen.

He also looked at her, with a hint of amusement and mockery in his eyes, just like when he first saw her.

Wen Li suppressed his annoyance and asked him, "What do you mean?"

Huo Yuanchen smiled at her and said, "Did you ask the wrong person? You should ask Cheng Yang what his relationship with Lin Ruoyuan is?"

Wen Li pursed her lips and glared at him.

He turned a blind eye and just looked at the faint smile in front of him.

Wen Li stared for a while, then turned her head to look ahead. She saw Cheng Yang and Lin Ruoyuan arguing about something, and when they got anxious, Lin Ruoyuan raised her hand and slapped Cheng Yang.

Cheng Yang was not to be outdone and slapped Lin Ruoyuan twice. With a face full of anger, he took out a bag from his jacket pocket and threw it at Lin Ruoyuan.

His voice was so loud that even Wen Li, hiding in the car, could hear what he said.

He questioned Lin Ruoyuan, "Did you drug me last night?"

Lin Ruoyuan's face was swollen on one side, and one of her legs was in a cast. She looked miserable, but she was laughing so hard that her body shook. She spoke softly, so Wen Li couldn't hear what she said. He could only hear her scream at the end, "You deserve it!"

Cheng Yang stepped forward and grabbed Lin Ruoyuan's collar, with an evil look in his eyes. With his other hand, he gently stroked her cheek, his nails rubbing her flesh all the way to her neck, and then suddenly tightened his grip, pinching the woman's neck like a chicken.

Lin Ruoyuan's face suddenly turned very pale. She tried desperately to pry Cheng Yang's hands apart, but his hands were too strong and she couldn't pry them apart.

Lin Ruoyuan's body began to tremble.

Wen Li hurriedly knocked on the car door, "Huo Yuanchen, if you let me get off, someone will die."

Huo Yuanchen looked at her deeply and opened the car door. He watched her run quickly towards Cheng Yang, and couldn't tell for a moment whether she reacted so strongly because she was worried that Lin Ruoyuan was going to die, or because she was afraid that Cheng Yang would be involved in a murder case.

He sneered in his heart. How could Cheng Yang really strangle Lin Ruoyuan to death? Not to mention that this was in broad daylight on the street, the Lin family's driver was still sitting in the car, and he would not watch Lin Ruoyuan get into trouble and do nothing.

Cheng Yang naturally had no intention of taking Lin Ruoyuan's life. He was just angry and wanted to teach Lin Ruoyuan a lesson.

Before the Lin family's driver got out of the car, he had already let go of Lin Ruoyuan and threw her to the ground like a rag, warning her with a cold look, "If you dare to interfere in the matter between me and Wen Li again, I promise you will die an ugly death."

Lin Ruoyuan shouted angrily, "Cheng Yang, don't forget that you are just an illegitimate child. If you want to get the shares of the Cheng family, it is impossible without the help of our Lin family."

"It's impossible." Cheng Yang said disdainfully, "At worst, I don't want the equity."

Lin Ruoyuan sneered, "If you can't get the Cheng family's equity, then you can only rely on your eldest brother's breath to survive. You, in the end, are just a dog raised by your eldest brother. You can't be so naive to think that you can become a popular artist with your own strength. Without your eldest brother, without the investment of the Lin and Meng families, would you become famous so quickly? We can make you famous, but we can also make you useless very quickly."

Cheng Yang clenched his fist again, which had been loosened.

But this time, the Lin family's driver stood in front of Lin Ruoyuan, and he couldn't do anything to Lin Ruoyuan.

Lin Ruoyuan was fearless and laughed arrogantly, "Cheng Yang, you are so stupid. I clearly gave you a chance, but you gave it up for a woman. And she was a woman who had been played by other men. No wonder Mrs. Cheng looked down on you, you are just as stupid as your mistress."

Cheng Yang kicked the Lin family's driver away and rushed to Lin Ruoyuan. His eyes were horrible, and he wanted to tear Lin Ruoyuan apart.

Just at this moment, his cell phone rang, and Wen Li's name appeared on the screen.

Cheng Yang was a beat late in pulling Lin Ruoyuan's hand. He hesitated whether to answer the call, fearing that Wen Li would hear what he was saying.

The Lin family's driver took the opportunity to help Lin Ruoyuan up, stuffed her into the car, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and drove away from the place of trouble.

Cheng Yang answered the call, but Wen Li had already hung up.

He took a deep breath, his face putting on a sunny and cheerful expression. Just as he was about to call back, he turned his head and saw Wen Li walking out from the green belt.

She looked at him calmly, except for the red in her eyes that could not be ignored and her hands trembling slightly, everything was the same as usual.

Even the tone of voice when speaking to him was too calm.

She said, "Cheng Yang, I saw it all."

Cheng Yang's expression changed suddenly.

The first thought that flashed through his mind was to reach out and hold Wen Li's hand, "Sister..."

Wen Li turned sideways and dodged.

She looked at him with obvious distance and indifference, as if she was looking at a stranger.

Cheng Yang was panicking. He would rather she hated him, beat him, scolded him, or even stabbed him with a knife. He would have nothing to say. But, don't ignore him.

"Sister, please listen to my explanation..." He was extremely panicked, like a child who had gotten into great trouble, and looked at her pitifully.

But she remained indifferent.

After a long while, he just said, "Let's just leave it at that."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Just like that...just like that?

Cheng Yang was so anxious that he wanted to cry. He didn't care whether he would upset Wen Li, he rushed over and held her hand.

"Sister, I have never done anything to let you down. Believe me. I have never hurt you."

Wen Li nodded coldly and said without any emotion, "I know. If you had hurt me, I would not just be like this to you now. Since you know about me and Meng Jinnian, and me and Huo Yuanchen, then you should know that I hate being lied to the most. Your purpose in approaching me was not pure from the beginning, and just for this reason, we can't go on."

How could Cheng Yang agree? He hugged her shoulders with both hands and kept saying, "Why can't we go on? Sister, I will change, and I will never lie to you again. I promise, isn't that enough? I really like you, and I have never liked someone this much before. Sister, everyone makes mistakes, please give me another chance."

Before Wen Li could say anything, another big hand reached out from the side, grabbed Cheng Yang's wrist and forced him to let go.

"Everyone makes mistakes, but not every mistake can be remedied." Huo Yuanchen said lightly.

His hand naturally rested on Wen Li's shoulder, showing a protective gesture. He was tall and protected Wen Li behind him like a barrier.

After he finished speaking, he ignored Cheng Yang and kept his eyes on Wen Li. He asked her, "You haven't had breakfast yet, what do you want to eat?"

Wen Li looked at him coldly, and in front of Cheng Yang, he did nothing but said, "Send me back first."
