Late at night.
In the presidential suite of Rebecca International Hotel.
The light in the room was dark and dim, which caused ambiguous feeling. There is no focus in Erica Rong's eyes, soulless like a doll.
She was mumbling.
"Bruce..."
The man stopped.
Ryan Li squinted at the woman in front of him coldly.
This woman, who appeared in his room for no reason, had obviously been set up.
'Bruce?' The man heard what Erica Rong said.
The next morning, Erica Rong woke up and felt pain all over her body. As soon as she opened her eyes, she felt something wrong with her body.
Her body was limp and she couldn't lift her arms. There was a man's deep breath beside her.
She turned around and saw handsome face.
His exquisite facial features, even with his eyes closed, made people unable to take their eyes off him.
Erica's heart skipped a beat and she got goose bumps all over.
Without hesitation, she quickly got out of bed and put on her clothes. After checking her bag, she poured out all the money in it and put it on the table. Although it was only five hundred, it was probably this price?
"I let you off so easily."
After giving a glare at Ryan Li, who was still sleeping soundly on the bed, Erica Rong left the money and a note, limping out of the presidential suite quietly.
On the taxi back home, Erica Rong finally had time to recall why she had sex with a stranger, but she had no memory of lost night at all. However, she didn't drink yesterday, except the juice given by her boyfriend.
'If...'!
Erica Rong clenched her fists and her eyes turned cold.
When she got home, she planned to have a good rest and ask her nominal boyfriend about it. However, as soon as she arrived home, she was told by the servant that the Rong Clan fell overnight. Now the whole company was in a mess. They had tried to contact Erica Rong for a whole night.
Without taking a breath, Erica Rong rushed to the company.
The situation was terrible as she had expected. The former sweet receptionist was gone, and others were in a hurry to look for something.
She suppressed her dizziness and grabbed an employee casually. "What happened? What happened to the company? How could it fall overnight? "
"Miss!" When the staff saw her, his face turned red. "Last night, the company was attacked. This morning, the stock suddenly fell, and then..."
Erica Rong pressed her lips and waited for him to continue.
The employee looked at her and said awkwardly, "then the Xu Clan bought all the shares. Our company belongs to Xu Clan now."
Xu Clan...
Erica Rong gasped for breath. The staff said in a low voice, "Miss, please don't go in now. All the Xu Clan members are in the president's office, including your boyfriend."
'My boyfriend?
What a good boyfriend! He made me lose my virginity and took away my family's property overnight.'
Getting rid of the staff, Erica Rong took a deep breath and strode towards the president's office.
"Bang!"
The door was pushed open, and Erica Rong stood at the door with a cold face. She glanced at every face in the CEO's office, and finally fixed her eyes on a handsome face that looked gentle but made her want to vomit.
"Erica, why are you here?" Bruce Xu's face froze and avoided eye contact with her.
Erica Rong sneered, "What? A victory banquet here? Why don't you call me? "
Bruce Xu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.
"Mr. Coleman, what a clever trick!" Erica Rong turned her eyes to Coleman Xu and said, "you must have planned a long time ago, right? You even took advantage of your son to get close to our family. You really impress me. Did you learn it from those male prostitutes? "
Coleman Xu's look became stormy. He looked at Erica Rong fiercely and said, "how dare you! You are still a young lady. Is this how you talk to the elders? "
"Well, I won't talk to the elders like that, but my elders don't include bastard." The smile on Erica Rong's face disappeared. "Do you think you can win the game by taking over my company? You are too naive. "
Then she turned around and walked out.
Coleman Xu was stunned. He pounded the table and stood up. "Catch up. She must have done something. Hurry up!"
Bruce Xu shivered and hurried to catch up with her, but there was no sign of Erica Rong outside. He grabbed an employee and asked. Then he knew that there were many reporters outside.
'Reporter?
Why are there reporters here?'
The reporters were called by Erica Rong. After she knew that the Xu Clan had taken over the property of the Rong Clan, she had called many reporters and informed them. The company could not be taken back temporarily, but she would not let them go too smoothly.
The glass door was pushed open, and Erica Rong walked up to the cameras and microphones.
"Miss Erica, I heard that your company was taken away by your boyfriend's family. Is that true?"
"How are you feeling now? Can you tell us more details?"
"......"
The reporters asked many questions, their microphones seemed to be about to bury Erica Rong, everyone's eyes were full of excitement.
When Erica Rong was going to answer the reporters' questions one by one, Bruce Xu suddenly rushed out from behind her and grabbed the microphone from her hand.
"No, listen to me. We are just friends. To be exact, I'm going to marry her best female friend soon, and the wedding date is 16 next month. I don't know why everyone says that I'm Erica's boyfriend, but if my fiancée hears it, she won't be happy."
Then Bruce Xu turned to look at Erica Rong and said sincerely, "I know you are very good to me, but I have a fiancée, and you will also have your own happiness. I bless you."
Looking at Bruce's affected expression, Erica suddenly showed a mysterious smile.
She stared at Bruce without blinking and quickly grabbed his phone from his pocket.
The password was the date of her birthday.
She opened WeChat, found the chatting records of him and her best friend, and showed them to the reporters..
"Since he is my best friend's fiancée, why their chatting records look like they are not going to get married at all?"
Bruce wanted to take back his phone, but it was too late. Those reporters had taken many pictures crazily.
Then Erica opened her WeChat.
"Bruce, please be smart. I can easily expose your lie. Why do you have to do that?" She looked at Bruce's gentle and handsome face with irony, "are you still a man? You approached me on purpose in order to misappropriate my family property and cheated on me."
The reporters, like cats smelling the fishy smell, surrounded Bruce one by one. He had no ability to resist, and his face turned red because of the sharp reporters.
Just as Erica was looking at the situation coldly, she suddenly saw a familiar figure, the man shuffled a little on his back and staggering step by step.
'Dad?'
Regardless of the mess in front of her, Erica ran forward.
"Dad!"
Hearing the voice of Erica, Foster Rong was stunned. He stopped and turned his head slowly.
Erica's heart ached.
Although Foster Rong was already fifty years old, he had always been high spirited and vigorous before. It was hard to tell his real age. He was a gentle middle-aged man. They hadn't seen each other for only one night, but he had a lot of grey hair and his face seemed to get old in an instant.
"Dad, don't worry. I'm here with you. Let's go home first, okay?"
Foster Rong seemed to be stimulated by something. He nodded and followed Erica into a taxi. They silently went back to the villa of The Rong Clan.
"Miss! Bad news! Your grandfather fainted after knowing that our company collapsed!"!
As soon as Erica entered the house, a servant came up to her with a scream. She almost fainted. Her legs were weak, but she forced herself to rush into his grandfather's room. "Call an ambulance !"
"Yes, I did. Don't worry, Miss!"
The servant held the shaky body of Erica. She rushed to give her grandfather first aid but no matter what she did, it didn't work.
Looking at her grandfather's purplish lips and pale face, Erica sank to the ground.
When the ambulance arrived, the nurse hurried up to check and shook her head. Erica didn't believe that her grandfather had passed away. She held the nurse's hand and asked her to rescue him. After two hours, he still didn't move.
"Miss, your grandfather has gone. Please stop. Miss..." The servant held Erica's hand and burst into tears.
But Erica couldn't cry. The continuous blow made her breathless.
"Where is my father?" She suddenly remembered something and turned her head in a daze.
The servant wiped her tears and went out to look for Foster Rong, but she couldn't find him and couldn't get through to him. There was only a message in her message box, "Erica'', take good care of yourself."
'Ha.'
Instead of crying, Erica smiled and deleted the message. She took a deep breath and began to prepare for the funeral of her grandfather calmly like a robot.
It was late at night.
Having been busy for a whole day, Erica walked on the street aimlessly. She didn't dare to stay in her own villa for a moment, fearing that she would see an empty room.
The servants had been dismissed, and now she was the only one left in the house.
'Was there anyone in the world more miserable than me?'
Overnight, everything was taken from her.
She didn't know if it was because God thought that Erica was too pitiful, or because God wanted her to be more unlucky, it rained heavily at this time.
Erica was drenched in the rain. She stood on the side of the road and couldn't hail a taxi.
All the matters made Erica unable to hold on any longer. Her eyes closed and she fainted on the ground.
"Squeak. Squeak."
The black off-road vehicle stopped. The assistant poked his head out and said, "Boss, a woman fainted on the roadside."
Ryan supported his head with his hands and frowned, "call an ambulance."
He had always hated others touching his things, and he didn't like strangers to sit in his car, not to mention the woman who fell on the roadside, her body full of mud...
He lifted his eyelids and glanced at it, but he was stunned.
"Wait a minute."
Ryan suddenly opened the door and jumped out of the car regardless of the rain. The assistant was stunned for a moment, grabbed the umbrella in a hurry and jumped out, holding it over Ryan's head.
Then, he was shocked to see that his boss, who had always been a neat freak, unexpectedly picked up the woman who fainted on the roadside regardless of the mud and got into the car.
"Go to the hospital."
The assistant didn't dare to say anything and drove away.
Erica felt that she had a long dream. In her dream, what happened these two days was just a dream. Her family business was still, her grandfather didn't die of a heart attack and her father didn't leave her alone. Everything was still the same as before.
She slowly opened her eyes, only to see white.
"You are awake." A deep male voice sounded beside her.
A warm hand touched her forehead. "Good. The fever is gone."
'Who is he?'
Erica turned her head in a daze and saw a strange man who made her feel a little familiar. It seemed that she had seen him somewhere.
"...... Who are you? "
Ryan blinked and frowned, "have you forgotten me so soon?"
'Have they ever seen each other before?'
Noticing that she didn't recognize him, Ryan felt a little dissatisfied. He leaned over to her ear and whispered, "You were very enthusiastic last night."
Then he kissed her earlobe.
When he woke up in the morning, he found that the person beside him had disappeared. There was only five hundred dollars on the table and a note with the words "you are good. I'm very satisfied". God knew how angry he was at that time. But when he thought of her charming and cunning appearance, he calmed down. He was worried about how to find her, but he didn't expect that he would meet her again so coincidentally.
Erica couldn't help shivering. Suddenly, a scene that they were together popped up in her mind. She was so passionate and unrestrained that it didn't look like her at all.
All of a sudden!
Her face flushed and her ears were as red as blood.
"It's you!"
No wonder she felt familiar. 'Wasn't he the man who had a one night stand with her last night?'
When Erica woke up in the morning, she only saw Ryan's sleeping face. The reason why she didn't recognize him was that he was opening his eyes now and that he was wearing clothes.
The well cut suit, the silk white shirt with plaid tie, the delicate watch on his wrist and the leather shoes on his feet all showed that this man was either rich or powerful, and was totally different from the male prostitute she thought.
After she blushed, her face darkened.
"It's me."
Ryan sat down leisurely with his hands crossed, "I didn't expect to see you again so soon."
He looked relaxed, but Erica was furious. If she hadn't been weak, she would have jumped up.
"You... How dare you show up in front of me? !"
Ryan raised his eyebrows, "you fainted at the roadside. I saved you."
Erica was stunned for a moment and then remembered that she wandered aimlessly on the street, but it rained. 'So he did save me.'
"Although you saved me, you also hurt me. Please leave. I don't want to see you again."
Ryan saw her repulsion, but he didn't move. Instead, he leaned closer to Erica.
"Let's get married."
"What?" Erica almost thought there was something wrong with her ears. "Are you crazy?"
"No. let's get married." Ryan repeated.
Erica got angry, "If you're not crazy, do you think I'm crazy? Will I marry a man who had a one night stand with me? "
"You are not crazy." Ryan's handsome face showed serious and said, "I help you avenge you. Marry me."
'Revenge?' Erica was stunned and said, "You investigated me."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Ryan said, "it's not an investigation. The Rong Clan and The Xu Clan have caused a big news in the city. I knew it before, but I didn't expect that you are the Miss of The Rong Clan."
Judging from his tone, he seemed to know The Rong Clan and The Xu Clan. And his expensive clothes, he should be a member of the upper class in City L.
Erica was moved.
"Do you have the ability to do that?"
"If I don't have the ability, no one in City L can do it."
Although he said it in an arrogant way, Erica somehow felt that what he said was true.
"Okay, deal."
On the second day, Ryan went back to his villa after he picked up Erica from the hospital. Compared with his villa, the villa of The Rong Clan was nothing.
Not in the mood to see how luxurious Ryan's villa was, Erica silently followed him into the master bedroom, because the servants were informed, they had made this room specially designed for women.
Ryan was very satisfied with the result and said gently, "the doctor told you to have more rest. I'm going out. Have a rest."
After he left, the room became quiet.
In a strange room, Erica felt uneasy and sad. She had her own home, but she had to give herself to a strange man.
All this was because of The Xu Clan.
Hiding her hatred, Erica sat on the bed, held her knees and covered her face.
She sobbed in a low voice.
Ryan walked into the master bedroom again and saw this. He put down the fruit platter and felt a slight pain in his heart. After a while, he slowly walked over and sat down, silently touching the top of Erica's head.
Sobbing, Erica raised her head and looked at Ryan with red eyes.
Ryan felt that his heart was softened by her gaze, so he forcefully pressed her head against his chest.
"Just cry. I'm here with you."
Erica sniffed, slightly twisted her body and struggled to get out of his arms, but Ryan held her even tighter.
"Let me go." She protested in a muffled voice, "who is going to cry? I don't want to cry."
"A stubborn woman is not cute." Ryan smiled imperceptibly.
"It's none of your business."
Although Erica said it in a tough way, she didn't struggle anymore.
Ryan raised her chin gently, "of course I care, because you are my woman."
When Erica was going to say "who is your woman", Ryan's mouth was pressed against hers.
She took a deep breath and put her two hands on his chest.
Ryan was hot and strong, while Erica had no choice but to passively cling to him. They seemed to be a long-term lover. Gradually, there was a feeling of restlessness in Erica's heart.
Ryan was not much better. .
With a groan, Erica pushed Ryan away in a hurry and stepped back to cover herself with the quilt. "No way!"
Ryan felt that he was going to explode, so he coaxed, "good girl, you should be mine. Don't be shy."
Erica shook her head and said, "No, we can't. We... We are not married yet, and we have no emotional foundation. "
For Erica, the emotional foundation was very important. They must love each other so that they could do such an intimate thing.
"If you want me to marry you, there are three rules!"
Ryan felt a headache. He closed his eyes and suppressed the desire in his body. "Tell me, which three?"
"First, we can't sleep in the same room before marriage, let alone have sex." "Second, we are not married until having a wedding ceremony."
All in all, he couldn't to touch her now.
"The third?" Ryan rubbed his aching forehead and asked.
"The third. "We'll get the marriage license first, but we can't tell anyone else," said Erica, showing three fingers.
The first two points were not a big deal. Ryan could accept it. After all, he respected her. But what's the third point?
Ryan asked, "Why can't you tell others?"
"Are you silly? I just broke up with Bruce, and he announced the marriage with my friend in public. At that time, I'm the one to be deceived and bullied. If the news of our marriage is spread out now, they will definitely take the opportunity to make a fuss about it."
Speaking of Bruce, Erica squinted and said coldly, "I won't give them any chance. If they want to be a shameless couple, they have to bear other people's abuse."
"By the way, since you said you would help me take revenge, when shall we take action?" Suddenly, Erica remember something and she turned to Ryan.
