bleeding as an open wound.Over the years, whenever she thought of these things, her heart filled with intense hatred.Who drugged her Why would someone frame her What did she do wrongTwo years ago, af...Naturally, it was Xu Zui Ning who could walk beside Ou Yang Chu.

But Xu Zui Ning wasn't her usual self now. She had shed her ghastly makeup, revealing her originally pretty face instead.

Not only that, but she also put on makeup that suited her very well.

So Gu Weiwei didn't expect at all that these two vastly different faces would belong to the same person.

She just thought that Ou Yang Chu had a new girlfriend, and this girl was a strange and pretty face.

Gu Weiwei felt her blood boil instantly.

Chu Shao is now with such a beautiful girl, this means... has Xu Zui Ning, this ugly monster, finally been abandoned by Ou Yang Chu!

Gu Weiwei was overjoyed and had already forgotten that she had just lost her biggest client. She didn't even remember that she had been jealous of Zhou Shuangqing and Pu Yun Gu Xia just now.

A smile that couldn't be contained spread across his face, growing increasingly unrestrained.

Xu Zui Ning, I never expected you to be abandoned so quickly. Since you've lost this support, just wait for me to get rid of you!

At the same time, on the other side.

Four people came to the restaurant for a meal. Even though the cruise ship was luxurious, there were no private rooms in the restaurant due to space constraints.

Even though the four of them were of high status, they could only eat in the hall.

Their appearance naturally caused a stir. The restaurant was originally filled with socialites, wealthy ladies, and young misses, all of whom were very refined.

The restaurant was very quiet, with not even loud talking. However, as soon as everyone saw Puyu Yun Gu Xia and Ou Yang Chu, they all forgot their manners.

It was just quiet here a moment ago, and now it's suddenly bustling, with the screams of girls filling our ears.

"My God! Look, look! It's really Shao Chu and Young Master Puyun! My sister said they were on a cruise before, I thought she was kidding me! Turns out it's true!"

"This time, happening to participate in the Zelda cruise was truly the most correct decision I've ever made! I never expected to meet Chu Shao and Pu Yun Shao in person!!!"

Now that girls all have smartphones, they want to take a sneaky photo of Ou Yang Chu and Pu Yun Gu Xia, but as soon as their phones focus, they all politely put them down.

Because of Ouyang Chu's aura, these caged canaries felt a bone-chilling cold, it was truly terrifying.

And not to mention that Ouyang Chu's usual aura was already very cold, this time it was clearly because he was in a bad mood, or perhaps out of protecting his companions.

So his aura grew even stronger, the temperature in the entire restaurant dropped several degrees, and a few timid girls shivered violently.

A chilling aura surrounded him, freezing time itself. The girls who had just been screaming, upon seeing his face, instinctively pulled their heads back in fear.

At this point, who dared to call out anymore They could only obediently lower their heads and return to their seats to eat.

Actually, it wasn't just the girls around him; even Puyu Guxia and Zhou Shuangqing, who were accompanying him, had noticed that Ou Yangchu's mood seemed to be quite bad.

But Zhou Shuangqing and Pu Yun Gu Xia were still unaware of the truth.

Ouyang Chu wasn't someone who easily showed his emotions. The fact that he was visibly shaken now meant the news must have been incredibly impactful.

However, in this situation, they were unable to ask any further questions, and the two could only eat their meal in silence.

The four of them ate in complete silence, the air at their table thick with tension. Zhou Shuangqing and Pu Yun Gu Xia were both too afraid to speak.

After dinner, Ou Yang Chu and Xu Zui Ning returned directly to their room. Back in the room, Ou Yang Chu rarely said a word to Xu Zui Ning.

He simply walked silently into the study and gently closed the door, thus locking himself in that small room.

Xu Zui'ning sighed, sitting alone in the living room and organizing all her expenses and income for the day.

Today's auction was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her to make a fortune.

As soon as the auction ended, Long Xisheng sent someone to negotiate with her. They wanted to invest in buying the diamond Xu Zui Ning purchased at today's auction.

Xu Zui'ning had no objection to this, because she herself was not interested in these shiny things, so she readily agreed.

Both of these diamonds are priceless, especially the red diamond, which holds even greater value.

Long Xisheng was also sincere, directly offering a price of 100 million yuan. Xu Zui'ning was overjoyed and readily agreed.

She had just handed over the diamond when her phone buzzed, and to her surprise, Long Xisheng had already transferred the money into her account.

Xu Zui'ning was feeling rather pleased at the moment. She had initially thought that if she wanted to make a fortune, she would have to rely on things like beauty supplements and weight loss products to slowly accumulate wealth. Unexpectedly, now she had a large sum of money in her hands all at once.

This came as such a pleasant surprise for her, with this sum of money she could do so many things.

Open a TCM clinic, or even start a company directly, and put all the prescriptions into production, forming a funding chain, then rolling in wealth.

These are all secondary concerns, the real way to make money is through continuous earnings.

And she had one most important problem to solve: Eveleth and her brother were both missing, and she didn't even know if her brother was still alive.

To find out where these two people are, it'll cost you.

Xu Zui-ning was struggling to concentrate in her mind. She couldn't focus all of her attention, and her gaze would always drift unintentionally towards that small study room.

Ouyang Chu had been inside for a full hour now, why was there not even a sound from him...

Even a flawless person can have such weaknesses Or am I overthinking things

Xu Zui-ning shook her head, putting down the calculator in her hand. She didn't like to daydream like this; she wanted to confirm things herself.

Ouyang Chu was currently in his study, listening to Dan Zhu's report.

"Chu Shao, we have been diligently working on what you instructed. You needn't worry."

It turned out that Ouyang Chu wasn't heartbroken in the house, but had contacted Dan Zhu, and at this time he had confirmed that everything Alex had said before was true.

"Okay."

Ouyang Chu thought for a moment, he originally wanted to say something, but the knock at the door interrupted him.

Ou Yang Chu frowned, but still raised his head and replied.

Come in.

The next second, Xu Zhuoning's pretty face appeared at the door. Her expression was serious as she directly said.

"OuYang Chu, let's go out and have some fun."t festered within me, blaming Gu Yichen for his inability to accomplish anything meaningful but excelling at ruining things.He turned to Lin Xiaoru and spoke, "Lin Xiaoru, you can come and hold me hos...
