The next day, at the hospital, An Ran was trembling as she browsed the news online. Overnight, the scandal of An's bankruptcy had once again surged to the top of the hot search list. Many of An's shareholders expressed their desire to make the An family pay a heavy price, or they would seek revenge. This was just adding insult to injury! How could she possibly repay the huge debt owed to An's now? An Ran's fingertips turned cold as she turned off her phone and tried to suppress her trembling. She asked Song Yi, "Who brought me here?"
"It seems to be a Mr. Fu..."
Her five fingers suddenly stabbed into her palm. Her mind was filled with chaotic thoughts, it was him... What did he want to do?! Save her?! Or... force her to beg him? Why wouldn't this devil leave her alone?!
"Miss... What about the medical expenses for Madam? The doctor said... we can't delay it any longer! And what about the funeral expenses for the old master?"
"I called your aunt today, why did she say not to ask her about this?"
Song Yi's crying made An Ran's heart tighten. She gritted her teeth and lifted the blanket, walking towards her mother's intensive care unit.Through the glass window, she could see her mother lying on the hospital bed with an oxygen mask on her face, her complexion pale and her eyes closed. Her once exquisitely maintained black hair had fallen out due to chemotherapy, and her thin body was attached to many tubes.
"Mom..." An Ran pressed her face against the cold glass and whispered softly, "Mom, please tell me what to do? I really can't hold on anymore..."
"... My stepmother embezzled the burial expenses for my father, and Yang Xu betrayed me..."
The responsibility of the An family was so heavy that it was almost crushing her...
She was only twenty-two years old
But the only response she received was the suppressed silence in the hospital room.
An Ran forced back her tears and smiled bitterly in grief.
Now, she had no room for sadness!
Her mother's medical expenses couldn't wait...
"Miss, don't be sad, everything will be okay..." Song Yi was startled by the coldness in An Ran's eyes.
An Ran nodded and said softly, "Song Yi, it will be okay,wait for me to come back."
Ignoring Song Yi's comfort, she turned and walked outside the hospital, pressing the cold number.
"Fu Shao... I..."
"Come to the Fuhan District." The chilly voice came through and hung up her phone directly.
She flagged down a car and headed to the location where Fu Lengyu had instructed her to go.
The cold wind blew into the taxi, blowing on her pale face.
But she felt that the world was colder than this wind, ten thousand times colder.
Half an hour later.
Fuhan District, the racetrack.
"Hey, who's this?!" Lu Ye Bai looked at An Ran at the door with interest.
She looked up at the handsome man.
He seemed to be a friend of Fu Lengyu's.
"You really know how to pick your timing, we're all playing now." Lu Ye Bai laughed, "Follow me."An Ran bit her lip and followed Lu Ye Bai nervously.
This was her first time entering the circle of Fu Lengyu.
Unlike her group of friends, this circle was a truly high-end circle...
The talented man who truly understood the business trends.
"Fu Shao, look who's here!" Lu Ye Bai shouted, his tone as if he was waiting for a big show.
As soon as his voice came out, everyone in the hall looked towards the door, and there was a sudden intake of breath, as if they had seen something incredible.
"Didn't she die three years ago? How could she come back?!"
"Oh my god! It's too scary!"
"Could it be that Fu Shao's sincere feelings moved the heavens and brought her back to life?!"
The sound of discussion entered her ears.
An Ran bit her lip, not understanding what these people were talking about.
What three years of death?!
She looked nervously at the man who was walkingtowards the arena.
The dim light covered his face, and she could only see his sharp chin and cold lip lines.
His powerful presence made it impossible for people to question his status.
"No, that's not her! It's the little girl from the An family! I remember seeing her at the annual meeting once, they look so alike! Especially those eyes..."
"Shh! Don't say anything, you might offend Fu Shao..."
The man's voice of sudden realization was silenced by the shushing.
An Ran suddenly felt cold all over, as if she understood something, three years...
The person who died three years ago was...
Fu Leng Yu put on his helmet and turned to look at the slender figure by the fence, a hint of hostility flashing in his eyes. "Come here."
An Ran trembled in her heart and, under the gaze of everyone, walked up to him with a stiff neck.
"Tsk tsk, what does this mean?"
"Does Fu Shao want to find someone who looks thesame as a stand-in?"
"It's possible! He's been living a clean life for the past three years! He's probably had enough of being celibate!"
"Maybe not! It could be that the An family went bankrupt and their little princess is trying to seduce him!"
Fu Lengyu's gloomy gaze swept over the crowd, silencing them instantly. These words naturally reached An Ran's ears, and bitterness surged in her heart. Seduce?
Indeed, she had given up her dignity and degraded herself. But even so, for the sake of her mother...she had to do it!
An Ran looked at Gu Yuhuan's cold eyes and whispered, "Mr. Fu, I...I agree..."
"Get in the car." His cold words interrupted her, "We'll talk later, let's play a game first."
What?
She was suddenly lifted up and thrown into the racing car.
The car door closed.
Fu lengyu, with his long legs, stepped into the otherside, and the narrow space was filled with the invading scent of male.
There was a cry of excitement outside the window.
Under the gaze of everyone, An Ran felt her scalp go numb and timidly said, "Mr. Fu, I came to talk to you about marriage..."
Her voice disappeared in the roaring engine.
Fu Lengyu's face was cold as he stepped on the gas and turned the steering wheel.
The racing car sped down the highway, and the cold wind blew fiercely on An Ran's face. She had to hold onto the seat tightly to prevent herself from being thrown out.
Her heart was pounding, as if she would crash into the mountain and die in the next second.
"When you climbed into my bed, weren't you afraid?"
The mocking voice was like a pair of hands, squeezing her heart fiercely.
"I really want to send you to your death right now."
"However, watching you suffer like this is even more satisfying," the man's icy gaze swept across her face, robbing her of breath.An Ran bit her lip, knowing that Fu Lengyu's words were not fake. He wanted to torture her until she was on the brink of death.
She looked out the window at the rapidly passing leaves, swallowed by the dark night, her heart trembling.
This was only the beginning!
But...she really didn't mean to climb onto his bed! She was also a victim...
Tears uncontrollably filled her eyes.
For her mother, she had no choice!
The car stopped amidst a burst of cheers
"Mr. Fu has got himself a beauty! He's even more awesome!" The opposing team's players looked at An Ran ambiguously.
Fu Lengyu ignored them, his rough fingers rubbing her eye corners, complex emotions flashing in his eyes.
Pleading, kneeling...it wasn't time yet.
After a moment, he sneered, his expression even more sinister.
A cold voice pierced her ears.
"Did you bring your household registration book?"
