Out of sight, out of mind.

  I sent Lu Yishu back to the villa, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw Shixiu and Song Muzhi sitting on the sofa chatting. I didn't expect to run into Song Muzhi at all, and it felt a bit unnatural. Shixiu walked over, put his arm around Lu Yishu, and supported her to rest.

  There was only me and Song Mu in the room, he stood up from the sofa, looking at me with a smile. I nodded, not knowing what to say, so I asked him how he came here, he said he had something to find Xiuxiu about. I couldn't ask what it was, could I? So I just responded with "oh".

  I also sat on the sofa, not knowing what else to say. I think Song Mu-zhi was as embarrassed as I was, he lowered his head and drank tea, lost in thought.

  I bit my lip and whispered to him that I really wanted to leave Shenzhen. I didn't want to come back, he said he understood, he turned his head and looked into my eyes and told me, after a while, I should be able to leave.

  I didn't quite understand what Song Mu meant, he saw my confusion and smiled lightly, saying you don't need to understand. If possible, leave the country as soon as you can after leaving the circle, come back after 2012, got it?

  Song Mu made me not understand, but everyone knows the thing, I myself am in the dark, it's really uncomfortable. But I didn't ask, he didn't let me know, there are always reasons.

  Shi Xiu walked down the stairs, still with his elegant and refined demeanor. He said thank you for taking care of Ah Shu. I don't like Shi Xiu, but I also don't dislike him. He is weak, unable to even protect his own woman. But people like them are born into a life they can't control, in the eyes of outsiders they seem powerful and influential, but with just one move from the old man, they are crushed completely.

  I politely told him that as long as he didn't make Lu Yishu uncomfortable again, it would be fine. Shi Xiou should be okay with that. In fact, we all knew that this kind of thing was impossible.

  I had nothing in common with the two big men, I suggested that I should leave, Song Mu-zhi wanted to send me back, and the middle-aged woman was waiting for me in the car! My refusal was on the tip of my tongue, but when I met Song Mu-zhi's warm eyes, I swallowed it and said okay.

  We didn't say a word in the car, two people sitting together in the cramped back seat, not saying a word, the atmosphere was weird. Someone had to break the silence! I asked him when he would get married, he looked at me and said it's still undecided.

  His tone was neither salty nor insipid. Whatever I said would make myself seem particularly garrulous, so I shut my mouth and shrank into the corner to play with my phone.

  I didn't let Song Mu Zhi send me to Xiao Bai Lou. When we reached the fork in the road, I asked him to drop me off. If I were to marry the master of Xiao Bai Lou, I would have insisted that Song Mu Zhi escort me personally, so as to show off how well I'm doing and make him regret missing out on me, but all I am is a mistress who can't see the light of day.

  As I pushed open the car door, Song Mu suddenly grasped my wrist. I looked at him in confusion and asked if anything was wrong. He shook his head and said nothing before releasing my hand. Song Mu and I exchanged a glance, and I smiled slightly as I got out of the car.

  I got on the bus that was waiting behind, thinking to myself, who didn't love someone when they were young, who didn't miss out on someone, and continued living with regret!

  When I realized my own thoughts, I burst out laughing. These pretentious words are really unsuitable for my identity.

  The overbearing man stormed out, I thought he would throw me into the cold palace! Who knew that the next night, he came out again. At that time, I was sitting on the carpet eating grapes and playing mobile games, he walked into the house and threw his briefcase casually.

  I looked up at him and then lowered my head to continue playing my game. It's strange, I'm not as afraid of the tyrant as I used to be. Maybe it's because I know I have value to him, so he won't really hurt me.

  He walked up to me and kicked my leg, asking if I had eaten bear heart and leopard gall, becoming more and more daring. I put down my phone, looked up at him, and forced a smile, saying "You're back."

  He crossed his arms and said, "Lu Xiaowen, if you can't pretend, then don't. It's really disgusting. You think I'm not aware of you? If I didn't come back, you'd be eager to set off firecrackers to celebrate."

  I really didn't expect to see the tyrant. He sat on the carpet with a smirk, tugging at his tie and saying to me, Lu Xiaowen, I won't let you have your way, if I'm not happy, you can't be either.

  He sat opposite me, I looked at his smug anger, and I felt like a boy who often made trouble when he was young. Boring, I thought he was just too idle. I stared at him, waiting for what he would do next, he came to me to get things done. He could do whatever he wanted as long as he didn't disturb me.

  He saw through my thoughts and sarcastically said, "Lu Xiaowen, do you think I'm a stud horse?"

  Isn't he a stud? At least I think so. He asked me what Song Mu-zhi said to me when he came looking for me. The middle-aged woman must have told Ba Wang about my meeting with Song Mu-zhi. I corrected him, saying that Song Mu-zhi was looking for Shi Xiu to discuss something. He snorted coldly and told me that Shi Xiu and Song Mu-zhi don't usually get in touch, what's there to talk about? He asked me again what exactly did he say.

  I don't believe what Ba Wang said, it's impossible that Song Mu Zhi would specially run to Shi Xiu's house and wait for me, and I just happened to send Lu Yi Shu back to the villa, right? If you really want to see someone, all you need is a phone call.

  I shook my head and said nothing, he stared at me, asking if Song Mu really didn't say anything. I shook my head again, he raised his noble chin and continued to ask, didn't he remind you of Xiaojie's matter?

  Every time Ba Wang mentions my little aunt's affairs, I get nervous. I stare at Ba Wang and ask, "What does your business have to do with my little aunt?" Ba Wang purses his lips and shrugs his shoulders, saying, "It seems that Song Mu-zhi also doesn't dare to speak out!"

  He raised his hand and pinched my chin, looking at me with a smile and saying, "Looks like you're quite capable!" I furrowed my brow and gritted my teeth, the Overlord let out a snickering laugh, increasing the pressure of his hand. He said, "What are you glaring at me for? It's not like I'm the one who got your belly big." However, women are just stupid, even if someone uses them and then throws them away, they still put on an act as if they're deeply in love.

  I had long known that he was sharp-tongued and spoke cuttingly, but he broke my definition time and again. I raised my hand to forcefully push away the tyrant's hand, supporting myself on the edge of the tea table as I prepared to stand up. The tyrant grasped my arm and pulled it down, causing my elbow to knock against the tea table, leaving my entire arm numb.

  I suddenly raised my head and stared straight at the overlord, my tone was very loud, I asked him if he had finished. If he had a deep hatred for Song Mu Zhi, if he was a man, he should find Song Mu Zhi, it's not an achievement to bully me, a woman.

  The overlord grasped my hands and told me that he had always disliked Song Mu, from childhood to adulthood, and couldn't stand his hypocritical appearance. It turned out that he had a grudge against Song Mu and wanted to torture me by all means. I think he's just psychologically abnormal and can't bear to see others doing well.

  He said Lu Xiaowen, you think he's a good person? I don't believe your little sister's car accident story, he doesn't know anything about it. He is the same as us, his bones are black and his blood is cold.

  Ba Wang's words were like a bomb thrown into my brain, I hastily reached out to grab Ba Wang's wrist and asked him what happened to my little sister's car accident, what exactly happened.

  Now I can still recall the scene of the car accident, it was really terrifying! The car caught fire and her body was charred black, except for that face, it was impossible to recognize who she was.

  The overlord let go of my hand, stood up, and turned to go upstairs, obviously not wanting to tell me. I quickly went forward, grabbed his sleeve, looked up at him and asked, wasn't my younger sister's death not an accident, but someone wanted her dead, right?

  The overlord didn't look at me, so I walked to his front, looked at him solemnly, and asked urgently. My little sister's body is not good, she rarely goes out of the gate, and there are very few people who come and go with her. Who did she offend? Why would someone want to harm her?

  I'm not like Chen Sang, I don't have the courage to take revenge. The dead can't come back to life, so I just want to live a peaceful life. I just want to figure out what happened that year and understand my own situation.

  The overlord shook off my hand with force, he didn't even look at me and walked away. I loudly questioned him from behind, was it because of my little sister that he came to find me? The overlord did not answer me, he entered the bedroom and closed the door.

  I pulled out my phone to call Song Mu, but found that I had lost my phone. The only three numbers in the address book were his. I felt like I was caught in a net and couldn't move. The other side was waiting for me to struggle until I was exhausted, then he would swallow me whole.

  That panic made me lose my composure, I knocked on the door with a "thud", Bawang didn't open the door for me, so I kicked it hard. After a while, Bawang suddenly opened the door, my foot kicked empty air, my body lost balance, and I fell onto the wooden board in a very awkward prone position.

  The overlord stood in front of me, looking down at me and asking Lu Xiaowen, "Even if you know that your little sister was killed by someone, what can you do? Even if you know the reason, can you change anything? If you really think your life is too long, continue to ask questions without giving up, and how you die has nothing to do with me."

  After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the bathroom, no longer paying attention to me. I climbed up from the wooden board, my knees and elbows were all bruised. I felt a bit sad, as if there was a stone pressing on my chest, and my whole body felt uncomfortable.

  I wrapped my arms around my knees, feeling a bit wronged and hopeless. I didn't want to cry because I'm not a weak person, but the tears couldn't be held back and kept falling down. The bathroom door was suddenly opened with a bang.

  He lifted his head to see Ba Wang walking out wrapped in a bath towel, he picked me up from below and scolded with a fierce tone. "You're just trouble, really damn troublesome, Lu Xiao Wen, what's with the pretentiousness?"

  His posture was the classic princess carry in idol dramas, but his serious and displeased expression broke my romantic fantasy. He roughly threw me onto the bed, casually pulling up the quilt to cover even my head.

  He said a word, out of sight, out of mind.
