“That’s right, there’s still hope for me!” she ruminated.

  Yun Rou instantly jumped to her feet and bolted over to the entrance. She quickly took out her phone from the bag which her manager had placed on top of the shoe rack. With trembling fingers, she tapped open the contact list and dialled one of the numbers in it.

  ‘Beep’


  Nobody answered the call and it was automatically cut off every single time.

  However, Yun Rou did not give up and continued to call while she muttered, “Pick up the call…… Pick up the call!”


  While she managed to maintain her composure during the first two attempts at calling, but when it still did not go through, her eyes were filled with uncontrollable rage and she hurled the phone towards the door violently.

  When Xiao Chun she opened the door with the key card, the phone landed right next to her feet and she took one glance at it. The glass screen had split apart and the screen quickly turned black. It was obvious how much strength Yun Rou had used to smash it.

  She remained rooted to the spot for a few seconds before she looked inside. The room was so messy that it seemed as if a powerful typhoon had just swept past. Yun Rou was seated among the mess with a dark, gloomy expression on her face. However, the corners of her lips were curled up into a sinister smile that sent chills down one’s back.

  Xiao Chun watched her in silence and pursed her lip. Eventually, she bent down to pick up the phone and close the door before walking over to Yun Rou.

  When Xiao Chun was standing before her, noticed that she was covered with multiple scrapes and bruises all over her body. She then placed the phone down on the coffee table and retrieved the first aid box that was kept below the television cabinet.

  When she returned, sat down beside Yun Rou and opened the first aid box from which she took out an ointment and began to apply for Yun Rou.

  Yun Rou looked up at Xioa Chun dazedly and stared at her for a long time before she finally recognized who she was.

  Gradually, her eyes were filled with hatred and, all of a sudden, she reached over and yanked Xiao Chun roughly. In a cold and eerie voice, she questioned, “Chunchun, I have nothing left. Today is supposed to be the day when Xu Weilai’s reputation is tarnished. But why did it end up to be me instead? Why?”


  Furious and unable to wrap her mind around what had happened, Yun Rou grabbed hold of Xiao Chun’s arm so forcefully that her nails dug into her flesh.

  Xiao Chun frowned in pain but she did not pull away from her. Instead, as if to avoid provoking Yun Rou, she consoled gently, “I’m still here for you.”


  “You’re still here for me?” Yun Rou repeated and her eyes flickered.

  She then nodded hard and agreed, “Yes, you’re still here for me. Chunchun, you’re still here for me.”


  “Chunchun, we can’t let Xu Weilai get away with this. Look what she’s done to me. We can’t let her off. She certainly can’t get away with this!” Yun Rou emphasized and her eyes were brimmed with hatred.

  “Chunchun, don’t you agree with me?” she asked.

  Xiao Chun’s expression darkened and she clenched her fists for a fleeting moment before she replied, “What else do you want to do?”


  “I want……”


  Yun Rou paused for a moment and her gaze swept across the chaotic apartment. Eventually, she set her sights on the knives that were kept in the open concept kitchen.

  Her lips curled up into a smile and, in a sinister voice that sounded like that of the devil, she emphasized, “Chunchun, I want to kill Xu Weilai!”


  “I had made a mistake. If I’d killed Xu Weilai previously, I wouldn’t have lost everything today.” Yun Rou thought.

  “This time, I wouldn’t be merciful towards her. I’ll definitely put an end to her,” she planned.

  Suddenly, her eyes flitted right back to Xiao Chun and, staring unblinkingly at Xiao Chun, asked, “Chunchun, you’ll help me, won’t you?”
