It was only my own father who would defend Lu Tiao and scold me like this. In his mind, he thought he owed to Tiao.

So he favored her in everything.

Even if Tiao had bullied me, he would advise me to put up with it. However, once I had verbally ridiculed Tiao once or twice, he would start to defend her no matter what.

At first, I would feel hurt when he treated me like this. Now I was too numb to feel any bond with him, and only wanted to settle everything at hand and ran away, even from Xi Jingnan.

I gave the two of them an angry look and headed to my room and waited for news from Hu Yang, who sent me the news i early in the morning.

"Everything went well, and the Xi and the Mo will be anxious like ants on a hot pan.

Yang entrusted someone to leak the business documents with a stranger’s ID. I sat in the room for a while and went out, when I saw TIao hurrying down the stairs. I stood on the stairs and laughed, “running for a date?”

Tiao gave me an angry stare, answering rudely, "Mo Tao, why don’t you just shut up your mouth. You would not get any better now that the Mo’s documents are leaked. Dad ask me to go to the company now, I got no time for the quibbling.”

I was surprised, "What documents are leaked?"

Tiao ignored me, gave me another stare and left in a hurry. I saw the message Yang had sent me the next day When I woke up from the bed.

“Everything went smoothly. Their rival firms got all the the information and have quickly poured their money to purchase all the materials in Mist City. Now they are of resources, unable to complete according to the time scheduled in the contract. The investors would soon withdraw their money. The two Families are estimated to lose two billion ."

Losing two billion for no reason. A fatal blow to the Mo’s.

I smiled triumphantly, got up and changed into a beautiful dress and went to the hospital to find Jiang Ci for resignation procedures. After all the formalities, Ci told me, "Xi Jingnan‘s engagement is brought forward."

I stared blankly at Ci, and he explained with a gentle tone, “The Xi’s has suffered a great setback today, his parents hoped to bring forward their engagement and Xi agreed. It’s the first of next month.”

I said lightly, "Oh."

“You don’t mind” Ci asked in surprise.

They were not able to register for marriage. I didn‘t care much about it. No one knew that I was already the nominal wife of Jingnan.

"Let it be, I don‘t care that much."

Ci smiled and joked,"That’s not like you."

" Should I be desperate? Or go ruin their wedding?" I said in a solemnity suddenly, “Some people are just not worthy of spending my whole life pursuing, as is Jingnan. I have no feelings for him now. After I my resignation, I plan to stay in Mist City for a while, then go settle in Finland , where I may get married at my grandfather’s will.”

“You are getting married?” Ci asked with surprise.

I was just saying, and just when I was trying to deny it, a cold voice came from behind. "Ci, help me with the dressing changed."

I turned and saw Jingnan with frosty eyebrows.

His injuries were still serious.

Jingnan never look at me, which I didn‘t care much. I turned away and left the hospital. Then I got a call from my dad.

He questioned in a bad tone. "Have you been in Tiao’s room?"

I could guess what it was all about. Tiao now may be like a cornered dog trying to fight back and blame it all on me, and after all, only I had always been moving against her.

"Why would I be in her room?" I played ignorant.

My dad was silent for a while and questioned, "The company‘s confidential documents were leaked last night. She said that you had been in her room a few days ago."

"You don‘t think I did that? I own 30 ％ of the company‘s shares. Once the company loses something, it would directly implicate my interests, and I just stood at her door for only a little while. Besides, Jingnan was there too.

Tiao would blame all the shits on me and you would always like her anyway but remember this after all, she doesn’t have any share of the company, and it is quite possible for her to do something to retaliate against us.”

Now that the two Families were suffering from the blow, I would be considered as a fool if I admitted it, so again I asked solemnly, "what is happening with the company?"

My dad sighed, "A loss of two billion."

"About the leaked documents ,Tiao can hardly absolve herself from the blame ," I warned.

My father suddenly changed his tone, defending Tiao, "all right, let’s call it an end."

I sneered, "don‘t forget, dad, that I am the vice president of the company, even if you don‘t hold her responsible, I won’t let her go."

"That‘s it, Tiao."

No, there was no such thing as that’s it.

I went straight to the company for the shareholders‘ meeting. My father asked me with a sullen face, “ Tao, she is your sister, don’t be so ruthless.”

At the moment the shareholders were all present, and the consistently tough Tiao now looked very weak. "otherwise? Let he slip?" I asked with a smile.

My dad glared at me, and I reminded him, "don’t break the rules for Tiao, somebody must take the responsibility, you can take it for her if you love her so?”

"how do I take it?" My father clinched his teeth with anger.”

"Easy,” I whispered in his ear, “this exposure is a great matter, either you or she resigns matter. I promise you, after you resign I will become the President of the Mo family company,and , and Tiao can take my position of vice president. This is the only way if you want to keep her in the company.”

My dad looked at me in disbelief hearing this.

"Wolfish ambition," he whispered.

I sneered, "dad, it‘s time to make a decision."

Father wouldn‘t let Tiao leave the company with a stain now, after all, it was almost a fantasy to enter the Mo family again.

In addition, he had always felt guilty about Tiao. As a result, self－evidently, he chose to retire early, promoted me to be the President and Tiao the vice president, and 30 percent of his shares would be transferred.

How it was done depended all on him.

I had won a big battle and drove to the bar to celebrate alone after leaving the office, feeling someone was hitting on me when I was drunk.

I let him and called him prettie.

He asked me gently, "would you like a cup of coffee?"

I was playing charming from within and said, "well, you have to teach me well. Let me see your... "

There was a scream, and the hottie kept saying sorry, and then I felt myself drawn into a fresh smelling chest.

Very familiar, with a trace of blood smell.

I hung on to his arms and refused to let go. He simply lifted me up and left. Finally, it seemed that I was in his apartment. He rested me on the sofa, and I stood and stumbled to look for liquors in his room.

He followed me behind, sometimes reaching out his hand to help me, and asked me with a clear voice, "what are you looking for in my house?"

"Liquors of course, a wonderful day for drinks!"

I found an opened bottle of red wine in his bar, lifted my head and took a sip. I heard him asked patiently, "what‘s so happy about?"

I got wasted easily and it could be difficult for me to recognize one from another when I was drunk.

I slanted my head and looked at the hazy figure before, suddenly I wanted to get it all out of my chest, and smiled, "let me tell you a secret, I am very rich, and I got a throne inherit.

Before leaving the Mist City, my mother left thirty percent of the shares for me to move against my father, and today I kicked him out of the company. Now I am the president, I can kick who ever I want."

He reached out his hand to hold my falling body and asked coldly, "oh? A throne to inherit? Are Husband and wife supposed to love each other? Why would your mother set you up against your father?"

I put one arm around his neck and took a sip, cursing with disgust, "my dad has a bastard called Lu Tiao, and he kept it from my mom. Now he even got the guts to take the mother and daughter back home regardless of the marital affection between my mother and him, and wanted two women around serving him. How well he had wished it, but oh my mother was unyielding. Before my mother left Mist City she specifically warned me, even at the cost of the Mo’s, to break my father down."

My footsteps were unsteady, and walked down into in his arms. He held me tightly, curved his lips and laughed, "what are you going to do next?"

"The bastard daughter? Kick her out of the house."

The fingers of the person in front slowly touched my cheeks, gently arranged my hair around my ears, asked indifferently, "I have a question,in what way did you kick your dad out of your own company?”

I was so drunk that I forgot myself and said unguarded, "Do you live in Mist City? You should know the Xi family, and the Xi and Mo

have cooperation. I stole the documents from the bastard daughter’s computer and leaked it. The two companies suffered a major blow, so someone must be responsible. My dad can let go of the bastard daughter, but I am the deputy president of the Mo’s, and I can’t and won’t let her go. My dad felt he failed her so he definitely would keep her, and as a result, his leaving the position as the president of the Mo’s is just reasonable."

He tightened his arms around my waist, and whispered to me, "You plotted step by step, who else did you set up?"

"Who else? Too many. I got no good heart, but I hate too! Is it wrong that one eye for ten eyes, one tooth for ten teeth?”

The bottle in my hand ped, and broke into messy pieces on the ground. I fell onto the ground from his arms and cried in such a depression, "How much I hate! I was pregnant last year, when I was still his secret lover, but all he wanted was to revenge me, torture me, leave me in such agony.

I was his hidden lover for three years, like a dog without dignity. Why didn’t he wonder why? ! I I loved him over my own life, but he never took my affection seriously, and even so, when I knew I was pregnant with his child, I was glad and thinking when I was going to tell his father, but he was killed by that bitch Lu Tiao before I could even...... which obliterated my last bit of kindness."

A shocked voice overhead asked, "you... were regnant?"

"Oh, I might as well not have been."

I cried, the alcohol kicked in again, and I lay on the floor into a faint sleep. Vaguely I heard a pitying and confused voice, gently asked,"Tao, why I can not see into you now?"

...

When I woke up in the morning, I found myself in a stranger’s room. I rubbed my head for a while before I remembered where I was.

This was Jingnan‘s bedroom.

I didn‘t remember what happened last night, nor why I was here. I got off bed and opened the French window to see the balcony next door.

The roses on the balcony bloomed.

Red petals, really beautful.

I stared at them, not knowing what I was reminiscing about, something valuable lost, and I didn’t remember specifically .

Forgot? Or not willing to remember was a better way of saying it.

I closed my eyes and turned to open the bedroom door. Xi jingnan was not in the apartment. I took my bag and left for Mo‘s house.

When I returned home, my dad was sitting on the sofa in the living room and reading the newspaper. I had wanted to go straight upstairs to my room, but when I thought about the transfer of shares, I went to sit in front him and asked,"Have you had your breakfast?"

He ignored me and I said carelessly, "I hope you think carefully about the transfer of the shares. If you give it all to Tiao...believe it or not, I will wreck company with my 30 ％. There will be no Mo’s company in Mist City, and I still got my grandfather leaving Mist City, but you will not enjoy your old age life."

My words were full of threats. My father’s body was shaking. He threw away the newspaper in his hand and asked me, “what else on earth do you want anyway? Tao, you are so cruel, don’t you want leave me any chance to live?”

I laughed, "yes,only you make the right choice."My dad was mad and wanted to slap me but hold it back. I got up and went back to the room upstairs, and I planned to move out from here today.

I went back to my room, took a shower, changed a dress and started to pack up. I was still upset and was afraid that I said something in front of Jingnan last night. After all, l knew me when I was drunk, bragging and rambling.

I licked my lips and warned myself not to think about it.

I dragged my suitcase and left. Tia’s puppy kept following me at my feet. I crouched down and touched his head and said, “your master is annoying, but you are lovable. However, she’s got bad temper, what a shame for you to be with her."

It licked my hand and I let the butler to take it back to the villa.

I had my own apartment in Mist City, in the same community as Xi Jingnan’s. I drove there and cleaned it up like a home.

However, when you are not in luck, everything you do can be vexing.

There was a lost German shepherd dog in the community. I registered at the property that before the master was found, i took care of it.

Since it was a dog, you had to walk it every day.

Just as I strolled with it in the evening, I happened to meet Jingnan, who had just returned home from work. He was in police uniform and stood straight in front of me. He asked indifferently, “why are you here?"
