Mr. Huo, stop being abusive. Madam has already entered the emergency room.

After this day, Cheng Zhi never accepted Hu Wenwen's appointment again.

Huo Linyuan refused.

He can do whatever he wants, moody, and Cheng Zhi has gradually adapted to it.

She didn't say anything, and learned to live with it.

On the contrary, Aunt Zhao murmured in private once.

"The young master is sometimes too guarded against others. Miss Cheng, your best friend for so many years, he is not at ease."

Cheng Zhi's hand for arranging the flowers paused, and her eyes fell lightly on the plum branches.

She would not naively think that Huo Linyuan was protecting her.

He just couldn't see that her mood had improved in the slightest.

Compared with verbal humiliation and threats, he just changed his method and continued to torture her.

He will be satisfied only when her life is stuffy and oppressive.

It snowed for two days, and Huo Linyuan never came back.

When the snow stopped, Cheng Zhi couldn't resist Hu Wenwen's repeated invitations and agreed to go out to meet her.

After calling twice, Huo Linyuan didn't answer for a long time.

Cheng Zhi thought for a while, but didn't ask him to arrange for her driver.

Wrapped in a thick scarf and hat, she walked out of the villa area and called the rental company whose service number she wrote down last time.

Then, I waited for more than 40 minutes in the cold wind.

Two hours later, when she saw Hu Wenwen in the coffee shop, she couldn't help herself from the cold for a while.

"Xiao Zhi, tell me the truth, have you been adopted by someone?"

The best friend asked at the beginning, making Cheng Zhi stay on the spot.

The chill that hadn't dissipated condensed into ice one after another, staying in the blood vessels.

She was worse than being taken care of by others.

Servants are not servants, prostitutes are not prostitutes.

I opened my mouth, not knowing how to explain.

"Where... did you hear that?" Cheng Zhi lowered her head, her long eyelashes couldn't hide the embarrassment in her eyes.

In embarrassment, she hurriedly picked up the mug, imported hot cocoa, and sprinkled some on the tiger's mouth at the same time.

Both the hands and the tip of the tongue were hot and painful.

"Xiao Zhi, some rumors about you have been spread in the alumni group. I didn't believe it a few times ago, so I didn't intend to ask, but you suddenly don't want to see me. I'm anxious..."

Hu Wenwen became more and more anxious as she spoke, but kept her voice down, as if she was afraid of scaring her.

Silence spread, and the sound of the cold wind blowing through the window glass became very clear.

Pursing her lips, Cheng Zhi lowered her eyebrows and said softly, "I'm by Huo Linyuan's side. I've been at his house since my mother's funeral."

Be a cow and a horse for him, relieve his anger and desire.

Stunned, Hu Wenwen's eyes showed incomprehension, "Didn't you say that you two had a falling out?"

Cheng Zhi told her that they turned against each other.

"Don't ask Wenwen, I'm good to you and me." Cheng Zhi closed her eyes and shook her head.

The circle of best friends is simple and clean, and she doesn't want her to get involved.

Seeing her tears, Hu Wenwen's eyes were full of distress.

"Okay, I won't ask anymore, don't cry, anyway, I will definitely believe in your character."

Raising his sleeve to wet the tears that flowed unconsciously, Cheng Zhi forced an ugly smile, "Thank you, Wenwen."

Hu Wenwen felt sad for a while, shook her head, and deliberately talked about the troubles and interesting things she encountered recently.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was already dark, and the two parted ways on the side of the street.

Cheng Zhi went to the roadside to take a taxi as usual, planning to hurry back as soon as possible.

A dilapidated van was driving towards her at this time and slowly stopped in front of her.

The car door opened suddenly, and before Cheng Zhi had time to look up from her phone, she felt her wrist tighten and she was dragged inside.

The phone dropped on the curb, and the car door slammed shut.

Cheng Zhi panicked and couldn't see anyone's face clearly.
