Xiao Ruoyi looked at He Yuzhe's direction, only to bump into his cold eyes.

She could only blame herself for loving the wrong person and for believing in the so-called love. In sorrow, she lowered her eyes and tightly clutched the quilt, trying to retain the last trace of warmth.

Staying with He Yuzhe to serve him. Xiao Ruoyi could not help but sneer secretly at her naivete in the past. She didn't expect that they would end up like that.

The edge of the bed sagged suddenly, making her body slid a little in that direction. Then, the light in front of her was obscured, and He Yuzhe's face approached.

"Don't stray to other things when I am talking to you. Stay focused."

His wet hair was clinging to his cheeks, and water on it was dripping directly into Xiao Ruoyi's eyes, which made her uncomfortable. As she turned her head, He Yuzhe suddenly leaned over and kissed her.

The kiss was so fierce and violent that it almost made Xiao Ruoyi breathless. She could only feel that the oxygen was slowly deprived, but the aggressive kiss did not seem to stop.

"Um... Let go of me..."

She placed her hands on He Yuzhe's chest and tried to push him away, but only to remove the towel that had not been fixed accidentally.

Xiao Ruoyi closed her eyes in a panic. Her lips suddenly hurt. As she frowned, the man on her had already straightened up and looked down at her.

Her fingers slowly touched the lips, and that trace of blood seemed to tell her what had happened just now.

He Yuzhe's lips curved into a smile. There seemed to be some blood between his teeth. "You don't even know how to kiss. You're still far from being able to serve a man, Miss Xiao. Take more effort."

After saying that, he stood up and put on his white shirt.

Xiao Ruoyi's heart suddenly tightened. He Yuzhe's contemptuous tone and disdainful expression made her eyes dim. Despair slowly filled her body.

Miss Xiao, it was easy to call her like that.

Xiao Ruoyi smiled coldly and watched as the man slowly put on his neat suit, disguised himself as a well-mannered man and gracefully walked towards the door.

If it weren't for what she had experienced, she would have thought He Yuzhe was the young and promising chairman of the He Group, a polite and decent man.

Unfortunately, she knew him clearly.

"Are you satisfied? I'm in a mess and the Xiao family is in distress now." Looking at He Yuzhe's back, Xiao Ruoyi said.

Hearing her words, He Yuzhe paused for a moment. His expression seemed to change, but soon he behaved as if nothing had happened. "The Xiao family deserves it. You own me a lot more than that, and you think that's all?"

He said disdainfully, with his eyes slightly dimmed. As he finished, he sneered.

Then he walked away. Before closing the door, He Yuzhe spoke slowly. "Go to the office as soon as possible. Don't mess up my room." Following was the sound of the door closing.

Mess up?

Xiao Ruoyi looked at the closed door and the empty room and felt bitter. Eventually, her tears streamed out and left a trace on her face.

The phone suddenly rang, which brought Xiao Ruoyi back to senses. Then, a word that made her emotion plummet into negativity came out.

"Is it Miss Xiao Ruoyi? Your father, Xiao Haotian, committed suicide in the prison. I'm sorry for your loss. Please come here as soon as possible to deal with some matters."

At that moment, Xiao Ruoyi could only feel the world spinning around her. The sounds around disappeared instantly. Her tears welled up, her mouth fell open, and she crumbled into a crouch on the ground.

The police officer's words of consolation were still sounded on the phone, but she could only hear a buzzing noise in her head.

Curled up on the carpet, Xiao Ruoyi could only feel the coldness around her, and there was no place for her to lean on.

Her father's gentle smile emerged in her mind, but the figure of him, the only one that she could rely on, gradually blurred in her tears and vanished completely.

Xiao Ruoyi arrived at the prison in a hurry, and she saw the body covered with a white cloth as she opened the door. The cold wind went through the windows, making Xiao Ruoyi shiver.

She opened her mouth slightly and wanted to say something, but she couldn't make a sound.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't believe that her father, who had told her that he would live a good life a few days ago, was now lying on the ground lifelessly. No matter how hard she tried to call him or push him, he did not respond.

She slowly leaned over and looked at everything in front of her. Her tears were falling uncontrollably. The coldness under her hand made her fingertips tremble slightly.

"Miss Xiao, this is Xiao Haotian's relic. Please accept my condolences." The police officer handed a wrapped jade pendant to Xiao Ruoyi.

She slowly took it over. Xiao Ruoyi's tearful eyes were reflected on its flawless surface.

"That's impossible...That's impossible..."

The jade pendant did not have any warmth. It was like a cold corpse on the ground, making Xiao Ruoyi feel a deep sense of fear and uneasiness. She muttered with a pair of hollow eyes.

"It seems that Xiao Haotian still knows that he has committed a great crime and chose to kill himself. Isn't that good?"

A familiar voice sounded. Xiao Ruoyi looked up and saw He Yuzhe approaching unhurriedly.

She narrowed her eyes vigilantly and took a step closer to her father.

"Get out. You are not welcome here." Xiao Ruoyi frowned with anger.

He Yuzhe was the culprit for the Xiao family's collapse. He ruthlessly destroyed the Xiao family and put her father in jail. He was responsible for all these things.

According to her father's character, he would not commit suicide out of any reason, unless...

Thinking of this, Xiao Ruoyi clenched her fists wrathfully. Her fingers trembled slightly out of anger.

She could tolerate what He Yuzhe had done to her, but she could not simply ignore it if he hurt her family.

Se looked straight at He Yuzhe with determination and stubbornness.

"Welcome or not is not determined by you, the daughter of a down-and-out businessman." He Yuzhe did not slow down at all but walked in. "Xiao Haotian deserved to die."

His last words stroke Xiao Ruoyi directly. It pierced into the softest place of her heart like a needle. She clenched her fists harder and harder, until her fingernails were embedded in his palm.

"Shut up." Hearing her father's name, Xiao Ruoyi shouted out. Then she stepped back and stood beside her father's body. "Go out. My father doesn't want to see you."

However, He Yuzhe had no intention of leaving at all. He quietly watched her crying with an unpleasant playfulness in her eyes.
