A man and a woman lying on the bed did not expect someone to kick the door open. They jumped up from the bed in a panic, and the woman was so flustered that she didn't even notice her exposed chest.
Autumn Wind glanced at the man and thought, how could it be Yao Guanghao!
Autumn Wind's heart inexplicably stopped for a moment but quickly returned to normal. So what if it was Yao Guanghao? Why should I be so afraid?
Thinking this, Autumn Wind immediately became proud. She straightened her chest and glanced at the woman, but her recently regained calmness collapsed in an instant.
The woman was none other than Liu Jian's ex-girlfriend, Jolie, who had provoked Autumn Wind in the car yesterday.
At that moment, Jolie recognized Autumn Wind as their eyes met. The fear on her face transformed into a hint of anger. At that moment, Jolie no longer looked glamorous; her hair was disheveled, and her shoulders were exposed, making her appear like a seductress.
Autumn Wind slightly adjusted her posture and saw her reflection in the mirror at the Vanity Table. Although she was dressed simply, she looked pure and beautiful.
After seeing herself, Autumn Wind inexplicably extended her right hand and raised her middle finger towards Jolie.
Perhaps because the direction of the middle finger was not very precise, Yao Guanghao mistakenly thought Autumn Wind was pointing at him. His face turned red, and he froze on the bed.
At that moment, Qiu Ruolan finally spoke up, "Where is Linda?"
"He..." Hearing Qiu Ruolan's question, Yao Guanghao came back to his senses. He pointed his right index finger upstairs.
Qiu Ruolan immediately turned around and rushed upstairs, the sound of her high heels clicking on the floor echoed.
Meanwhile, Autumn Wind remained in shock: her ex-boyfriend was actually lying in bed with Liu Jian's ex-girlfriend. Ah... this world is too crazy. Was Jolie doing this on purpose?
After Qiu Ruolan left, Jolie quickly regained her composure and stared directly at Autumn Wind, who stood there dazed. She snorted disdainfully through her nose and said, "Sister, can you step outside for a moment? I need to get dressed..."
It was another naked provocation, but Autumn Wind didn't know how to respond. Just then, there was another sound of kicking at the door from upstairs by Qiu Ruolan.
Autumn Wind regained composure and quickly rushed upstairs. When Autumn Wind reached the floor, she saw Qiu Ruolan standing at the door with a flushed face and clenched fists. A man, bare-chested and only wearing long pants, was kneeling in front of her.
The bed behind the man was in disarray. A woman with chestnut-colored hair was hurriedly putting on her clothes.
The kneeling man had a good physique; his muscular upper body suggested that he was indeed Linda.
Autumn Wind cautiously stepped behind Qiu Ruolan, placing her hands on her hips to show her support.
At that moment, Linda, who had been looking down, suddenly lifted his head. Tears rolled down his cheeks as he pleaded, "I'm sorry... Please forgive me, I just drank too much... That's why... I'm sorry..."
"Drank too much... Hmph, what a convenient excuse. Do you think I haven't drunk before? You think I don't know what it feels like to be drunk?" Qiu Ruolan replied coldly, glancing at Autumn Wind. Autumn Wind's actions moved Qiu Ruolan.
After looking at Autumn Wind, she turned her attention back to Linda. She scrutinized him from head to toe and was about to say something when she noticed that Linda's zipper was down, revealing a glimpse of what was inside his pants.
Feeling disgusted, Qiu Ruolan could no longer contain her anger and finally roared, "Take your things and get out of here quickly..."
Linda remained on his knees. Hearing Qiu Ruolan's words, he crawled forward on his knees toward her and reached out to hug her legs but was swiftly dodged by Qiu Ruolan.
He continued to plead pitifully, "Please give me another chance... I know I was wrong..."
Ignoring him, Qiu Ruolan turned to leave the room. She took a few steps back to the staircase, pointed toward the door, and gritted her teeth as she said, "You need to disappear right now; I don't want to see you again..."
Realizing that pleading was futile, Linda slowly stood up from the ground, dejectedly picked up his clothes from the floor, and began to put himself together.
Throughout Qiu Ruolan's furious outburst, Autumn Wind stood by like a statue. It was just that seeing Linda for the first time—his face almost identical to her father's—awakened all her childhood memories.
Tears filled her eyes once more, threatening to spill over at any moment. Through the haze, she looked at Qiu Ruolan's angry face and suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for her.
She must love Guan Xiu, otherwise why would she adopt me? Why would she find a boyfriend who looks exactly like Guan Xiu? It's just unfortunate that she has been hurt again this time...
Linda didn't have much to pack, and she finished in just over ten minutes. Meanwhile, the brown-haired woman who had been frantically getting dressed in bed flew out of the house as Linda was tidying up.
On the other hand, Yao Guanghao and Jolie, after getting dressed, chose not to leave immediately. Yao Guanghao seemed to want to explain something, while Jolie wore a look of disdain.
As Qiu Ruolan and Autumn Wind went upstairs to catch someone in the act, Jolie and Yao Guanghao had the following conversation.
Jolie asked, "Do you know that woman?"
"Which one? Qiu Ruolan? I don't think anyone wouldn't know her!" Yao Guanghao replied.
"Of course not... The other one, Qiu Feng's assistant?" Jolie continued to ask.
"Autumn Wind? She's my ex-girlfriend!" Yao Guanghao thought for a moment before answering directly.
"Really... what a coincidence, Liu Jian is my ex-boyfriend..." A glimmer of intrigue appeared in Jolie's eyes.
"Liu Jian? Haha... that is indeed quite a coincidence!" Yao Guanghao said this outwardly but couldn't help feeling frustrated inside.
If I had known this woman was connected to Autumn Wind and the others, I wouldn't have gotten involved with her. It seems that in the future, when flirting at nightclubs, I must make sure to understand a woman's background. If I accidentally flirted with a big shot's woman, my life might be at stake.
Seeing Autumn Wind and Qiu Ruolan coming downstairs, Yao Guanghao stepped forward. "Sister Sally, I didn't know this was your home... I'm sorry for the disturbance today... I..."
Qiu Ruolan raised a hand to interrupt Yao Guanghao. "It's fine... you don't need to worry about it..."
At that moment, Jolie also stepped forward. She first gave a slight bow to Qiu Ruolan and then smiled widely. "Sister Sally, hello..."
Noticing Jolie speaking to her, Qiu Ruolan slightly furrowed her brow. "You... who are you?"
"You don't remember me? I'm Wang Jiaru's friend. I even attended your wedding with Uncle Wang... Have you forgotten?"
"Ah... cough cough..." Qiu Ruolan's mind spun around, and she had no impression of Jolie, so she smiled perfunctorily. After that, she exchanged a meaningful glance with Yao Guanghao and smiled meaningfully.
Linda walked down the stairs with his head down, carrying a box. When he reached Qiu Ruolan, he suddenly stopped, his eyes still filled with pleading. Qiu Ruolan was unwilling to pay him any attention and turned her head away.
Seeing this, Autumn Wind immediately stepped in as an assistant. She took a few steps forward, blocking Qiu Ruolan's path, and adopted a dismissive tone, saying, "Come on, Mr. Lin. The door is this way... please follow me..."
Linda sighed when he saw that Qiu Ruolan had no reaction and followed Autumn Wind to the door. After Autumn Wind opened the door for him, he lingered at the entrance, looking back at Qiu Ruolan once more.
However, he received no response from Qiu Ruolan and had no choice but to walk into the night.
At this moment, Jolie seemed to have been injected with hormones, quickly becoming excited. She laughed loudly and said, "Sister Sally. Look at you, you've been busy and tired; I won't disturb you any longer. I'll be leaving now!"
With that, she hurriedly walked toward the door.
Hearing Jolie's words, Yao Guanghao also awkwardly added, "Yeah, I'm really sorry about today..." and quickly followed Jolie's footsteps.
Autumn Wind stood at the door and was startled when she saw Jolie and Yao Guanghao rushing toward her like wild horses.
Was Jolie really eager to go home? Of course not; at this moment, she was just looking to provoke Autumn Wind again.
She quickly approached Autumn Wind and stared at her unremoved makeup with intensity. "Hmph, how did your taste decline so quickly after just a few months of not seeing you..." At this moment, Yao Guanghao also reached the doorway and stood behind Jolie.
Jolie glanced sideways at Yao Guanghao with a hint of mockery and said, "What’s up? Do all you guys like this kind of pure girl now?" She reached out her hand and slid it across Autumn Wind's face. However, when her ring finger came close to Autumn Wind's face, Jolie suddenly pressed down hard, leaving several marks on Autumn Wind's cheek.
"Hey, this face really invites trouble... it's a pity you're just an assistant... don't you plan to let Jaes make you a star? Look at how shabby you're dressed; it makes me doubt Jaes's taste right now..." Jolie said sarcastically. It seemed that pressing Autumn Wind with her ring wasn't enough for her; she raised her right hand high as if to slap Autumn Wind's face but was caught by Yao Guanghao's hand. He lowered his voice and said, "This is Sister Sally's house; what you're doing is... too much!"
"Too much? Hmph... are you feeling sorry for her? She's Jaes's girlfriend now; it has nothing to do with you..." Jolie pulled her hand back from Yao Guanghao's grip, rubbed her wrist, and continued with her sarcastic tone.
"Well, it's not your fault; anyone would choose Jaes. With his family background and skills in that area, you're far behind..." Jolie provocatively addressed Yao Guanghao before turning her face back to Autumn Wind: "You two are living together now, right? How is it? Liu Jian isn't bad, right..."
"You... don't go too far..." Yao Guanghao finally couldn't stand Jolie's teasing and said in a low voice.
"What’s wrong with me? Is it not allowed to be outmatched? Right, Autumn Wind... Well, it's getting late, and I still have to attend the Board of Directors... I won't play with you anymore..." Jolie returned to her normal tone.
She turned around and waved at Qiu Ruolan, "Sister Sally, I'll come visit you another day..."
With that, Jolie twisted her slim waist and walked towards the door. As she brushed past Autumn Wind, she said fiercely, "I love two idioms the most: 'a match in social status' and 'childhood sweethearts,' because these two phrases describe me and Jaes... you'd better keep that in mind!"
Yao Guanghao forced a smile and followed Jolie out the door.
Jolie lingered at the entrance for too long, naturally raising Qiu Ruolan's suspicion. After Autumn Wind closed the door, Qiu Ruolan asked Autumn Wind, "Do you know this Jolie?"
"I... her?" Autumn Wind looked up at Qiu Ruolan, unsure how to answer this question. At that moment, the spot where the ring had pressed down began to ache faintly. Autumn Wind touched it and found a thin scratch.
Her eyes suddenly felt warm, her nose tinged with sadness, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
The tears brushed against the scratch, causing a heart-wrenching pain.
