I turned pale with fear and screamed uncontrollably.

But it was already getting late and there were no people around the alley. Calling for help in a place like this would be of no use.

I smelled a strong smell of alcohol on the tip of my nose. The drunk man stood up unsteadily, and his smelly face suddenly came towards me.

"Hey, little beauty...alone?"

He asked me vaguely, and the smell of his breath made me feel sick to my stomach.

I couldn't care less about my nausea, and my instinctive reaction was to run away.

I wanted to turn back and run towards the alleyway where I came in, but unexpectedly the drunk man had quick eyesight and quick hands and held my shoulder down.

"Let me go!" The drunk man was so strong that I couldn't get away at all, so I could only yell at him, trying to scare him.

After the sound fell, he smiled again, burped, and said slyly: "Little beauty, stay with me!"

After he finished speaking, he touched my face with his dirty hands.

I frowned and didn't dare to act rashly. After thinking about it for a while, I suddenly came to my senses and said, "Brother, I see you've finished all your wine. How about I buy some wine and then come back to drink with you?"

"Hiccup, hehe... Do you think I'm drunk? Want to run away? No way!" He actually saw through me and pouted, pretending to kiss me.

I pretended to relax my body, and almost at the same time that his disgusting lips were about to touch my face, I raised my knee and kicked him hard in the life: "Trash, go to hell!"

Following his screams, I pushed him away, turned around and ran towards the road as hard as I could.

"You bitch, stop for me!"

The drunk man regained his composure, seemed to have sobered up, and chased after him cursing.

I ran and shouted for help.

After a while, I ran to the road panting and was about to look back at the drunk man's position.

A bright light suddenly shone on my face. I was blinded by the light and closed my eyes. I heard the sound of a sudden brake in my ears.

When he opened his eyes again, the drunk man had been pushed to the ground by a man dressed as a bodyguard.

An SUV stopped in front of me, and then, an impressive young man stepped out of the car. He ordered his bodyguard to send the drunk man to the nearby police station, and then asked me gently: "Are you okay?

"

"Thank you!" Realizing that I had been rescued, I thanked him repeatedly and stood there gasping for air.

The man looked at me for a while, then took a bottle of mineral water from the car and handed it to me: "Miss Ruan, do you want me to take you home?"

My hand that took the bottle was stunned, a little confused: "Do you know me?"

Only then did I see his face clearly. He was very handsome, with a high nose and beautiful smiling peach blossom eyes.

But I'm sure I don't know him.

He bent his eyes and smiled, and said in a clear voice: "My name is Su Yu. You don't know me, but you must still remember Wang Gui, right? He used to be my subordinate."

Of course I remember Wang Gui, that bastard got out of the capital long ago after being taught a lesson by Li Yunzhou.

This man named Su Yu said that Wang Gui was his former subordinate.

Is he the general manager of Chenyuan?

Chenyuan is not a big company, and Li has never cooperated with it, so I don't know much about Chenyuan.

"Miss Ruan, there is something I think it is necessary to explain. In the cooperation between Chen Yuan and the Ruan family, the final payment has been approved for settlement long ago. It was Wang Gui who kept delaying it for personal gain. But having said that, it was also Chen Yuan's poor management.

I want to find an opportunity to apologize to Miss Ruan, but I have just returned to China and am busy with my affairs." Su Yu explained to me, his tone was quite sincere.

"That's a serious apology. Thanks to Mr. Su for saving me today." I said politely.

Su Yu smiled and extended the invitation again: "It's so late, I'll take you home."

"Thank you, no need." I refused.

I don't want others to know my private affairs.

Su Yu didn't force it. After saying goodbye, he drove away.

I left my luggage in the alley, so I had to go back to get it, and then walked to another hotel.

It was already late at night after I checked in. I bought some medicine for wound treatment on a takeaway platform and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

When the hot water hit his hands, the heartbreaking pain swept over him again.

The image of my mother pinching my hand and roaring at me came back to my mind.

"Why... dad... mom..."

I murmured and closed my eyes, tears mixed with hot water kept sliding down my face.

That night, I felt like my muscles and bones had been ripped out, and I lay tiredly on the hotel bed and fell asleep.

The next day I was almost late. I casually looked through my clothes and took a taxi to the company without even bothering to put on makeup.

Entering the office, I saw Gao Pan wearing a black Hepburn-style dress and exquisite makeup.

"Do you have a date after get off work?" I asked subconsciously.

Gao Pan was also stunned: "Mr. Ruan, you didn't forget the company's annual meeting tonight, right?"

I really forgot about it.

When Gao Pan saw that I was naked, he couldn't help but suggest to me: "I don't have any work arrangements today anyway. Do you want to go back and change your look?"

"No need." I said.

In my current situation, how can I feel like dressing up?

After get off work, I took Gao Pan's car and went to the hotel together.

In the underground garage, we met Jiang Yu who had just gotten off the luxury car.

A dress embroidered with silver threads made her look jewel-like. The emerald necklace around her neck and the big-name limited edition high heels on her feet all showed Li Yunzhou's love for her.

"Who are you showing me all dressed up like this? Vase, unlike our Mr. Ruan, is a powerful person!" Gao Pan, perhaps because he was afraid that I would be sad, complained in my ear.

I smiled and joked with her: "You mean I'm ugly?"

Gao Pan reacted quickly and snorted: "No way! Mr. Ruan, you are also a vase, but you are a priceless vase like that of the Western Zhou Dynasty. That woman is at best a knockoff of last week!"

"You are the only one with such a sweet mouth!" I was amused by her, and my mood instantly improved a lot.

At seven o'clock, the party officially started.

The news of the divorce was not made public. As usual, Li Yunzhou and I were arranged to sit together.

After sitting down, he didn't even look at me.

Zhu Xu temporarily sent a document, and he lowered his head and read it carefully.

Jiang Yu, who was dressed up, came in from the door and sat next to Li Yunzhou very naturally.

She glanced at me contemptuously, then snatched the document from Li Yunzhou's hand with her hand, and whispered coquettishly: "Yunzhou, do I look good today?"

Li Yunzhou was not angry when his business was interrupted.

He raised his head, looked at Jiang Yu, smiled, and said fondly: "It looks good."

A happy and shy smile appeared on Jiang Yu's face, and she pestered Li Yunzhou to chat with her.

Sitting next to them, I was like an awkward light bulb.

I felt the gossipy looks from the employees around me.

I originally thought that after the divorce, I would be able to face all this calmly, but I still overestimated myself.

My chest felt tight for a while, and a waiter happened to be passing by with a drink. I took a glass of red wine and drank it down in one gulp.

Maybe it was because the alcohol had too much stamina. After a while, I felt dizzy.
