  Nan Zhi’s fingers trembled as they curled together into a despondent fist. She felt like someone was hitting her heart ruthlessly with a hammer.

  She only felt and overwhelming pain and hatred!

  In the last four years, nothing had ever happened to her grandparents’ graves while she had been abroad. To think they were now splashed with red paint, not too long after she returned.

  It must be someone who was against her!

  “I came over to take a look in the afternoon as usual. I didn’t expect to see the two tombstones splashed with red paint. I don’t know who came to destroy them either, they were already gone when I arrived. Whoever it is, they are so vicious! How can someone be so terrible!” Auntie He was visibly upset as she wiped away her tears by her side.

  Nan Zhi sniffled, forcing back her tears that were threatening to fall. She got a bucket of water before she kneeled on the ground and bit by bit, cleaned away the red paint with a damp cloth.

  As she wiped the tombstones, she mumbled softly, “Grandfather, grandmother, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry……”


  Those people were too evil. It was fine if they used any means against her. Why did they come and disturb the elderly who had already passed on? Why did they need to disturb their peace? The thought of it made Nan Zhi’s heart ache in sorrow.

  Auntie He wanted to kneel down and wipe the tombstones with Nan Zhi, however, Nan Zhi only shook her head as she rejected her help.

  “Auntie He, I want to stay here alone.”


  Auntie He stared at Nan Zhi, who looked thin yet strong, her heart aching for the poor girl. She nodded in understanding before she left with teary eyes.

  The pictures on the tombstones had become blurry after they were splashed with red paint. She could not get the pictures to how they were originally, no matter how hard she tried. Nan Zhi’s lips trembled. “It’s Zhizhi’s fault. I can’t even protect grandfather and grandmother’s resting place properly. I’m sorry. I’m really sorry……”
……

  After nearly two hours, she finally finished cleaning every spot of the tombstone and graves. However, she had still disturbed the two deceased elderly, no matter how clean she managed to reinstate their tombstones. The damage was already done and could never be reversed.

  She was the one who had wronged them.

  The sky slowly darkened. Nan Zhi’s eyes hurt as a gust of wind blew into her face……

  The manor encompassed three sprawling levels of extravagance. The top level had floor-to-ceiling windows all around with a devastating view of the surrounding scenery. It was a glass house, the most unique part was that even the roof was made from specially tempered glass.

  With one glance, they could see the blue sky just by just looking up.

  This mansion belonged to Lan Yanzhi. Only a few years ago, this place was still a deserted mountain almost akin to a barren wasteland. He had purchased the land and built the mansion on top to give it to his first love. However, he found out that his first love was a spy sent by his competitor to steal business secrets, the moment it had finished building.

  The Lan Corporation almost went bankrupt that year. Lan Yanzhi was banished from the Lan family and from that moment, he became lost and a fickle playboy.

  Mu Sihan made Lan Yanzhi bring him to the mansion at the mountain top to discuss matters. In the end, Lan Yanzhi thought up an idea for him, he was planning to prepare a romantic candle-lit dinner for Nan Zhi.

  Lan Yinyin had secretly come to the mansion as well, arriving some time after the two of them. When she heard Mu Sihan asking Lan Yanzhi how to woo a woman, she felt a biting anger and envy, knowing that the woman in question wasn’t her.

  While the men were in discussion, she walked into the guest room that Mu Sihan rested in. She planned to put one of her intimate items on the bed, so that Nan Zhi would misunderstand when she came.

  However, when she thought further on that idea, she felt that it was somewhat flawed. Brother Sihan would definitely punish her if he found out.

  When Lan Yinyin was ready to leave in anger, the black mobile phone placed by the bedside vibrated.

  The caller ID flashing on the screen showed the name ‘Kitten’.

  It was such an intimate nickname. Clenching her teeth, she recalled that Brother Sihan had called Nan Zhi ‘kitten’, when he spoke to her older brother.

  Without even pausing to think, Lan Yinyin immediately rejected the offending call. Brother Sihan was usually conceited and arrogant. He did not have a password as no one dared to touch his personal phone. As such, Lan Yinyin immediately deleted the call record after she rejected the call.

  Lan Yanyan left the mountain in a hurry and felt the uneasiness wane somewhat after she had done everything……

  Just before four in the afternoon, Mu Sihan arrived at the broadcasting company to meet Nan Zhi.

  He got off the sports car when he reached the entrance of the broadcasting company. Dressed in a fitting black shirt and matching pants, the perfectly ironed suit pants wrapped around his slender long legs in an elegant manner. With a pair of sunglasses resting on his well-defined nose, he looked handsome yet cold.

  Lifting his wrist up, he glanced casually down to look at the time.

  She should be finishing work soon.

  Not too long after, more and more people were coming out of the doors, exiting the broadcasting company in batches as they got off work.

  Mu Sihan leaned against the front of the car, his handsome and well-defined facial features under his black short hair was so perfect that people got goosebumps from it. Several people that exited the broadcasting company looked at the outstanding figure in amazement.
