Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xie Zhuojun didn’t want to hear their enthusiastic discussion about the wedding, so he left the table and said, “I will go and look for Xue upstairs.”

Actually, he didn’t want to meet Shangguan Rouxue. He hadn’t come up with any ideas about what to do.

He couldn’t accept that the woman whom he had loved for so many years, was a girl with such a conniving mind. She had been lying to him for all these years!

So what Shangguan Ning said earlier, had all been true.

She kept insisting that Shangguan Rouxue was acting but he still continued to defend Xue with his full might and scolded Shangguan Ning without consideration, claiming that she was just being jealous!

Now he needed to find out the whole truth about Shangguan Rouxue. Unless and until he did that, he was not getting married!

He didn’t want a woman who could hurt her own sister and indulged in other shameless acts.

Till now, he had discovered some disturbing facts about her, but a couple of days later, he discovered that Shangguan Rouxue was innocent and the picture had been photoshopped. Shangguan Rouxue hadn’t even been present at that hotel..

Everyone around spoke highly of Shangguan Rouxue and it seemed that people had started to speak positively about her all of a sudden. Those women who used to say that she had evil intentions, also suddenly started to praise her as well.

Shangguan Rouxue had also became much gentler than before and took better care of him. She seemed to have become much prettier than before.

Xie Zhuojun had a fickle mind, so after hearing about people’s positive comments about Shangguan Rouxue, he almost believed that he had made a mistake about seeing the scene where Shangguan Rouxue tried to bump Shangguan Ning.

For some reason he also became more sexually active than before. He always got into a frenzy and would want to rip off her clothes and took her brutally whenever he saw her.

He suspected that there was something wrong with his physical condition, but after a check-up, the doctor at the hospital said that he was doing fine.

Finally relaxed and assured, he started to treat Shangguan Rouxue nicely again.

Shangguan Rouxue let out a sigh of relief seeing that Xie Zhuojun was willing to get close to her once again.

She knew that Xie Zhuojun had been investigating her, but it seemed that someone was helping her remove all the bad things about her and only plant positive things about her everywhere.

Another half a month had passed. The Mayor of A City was finally confirmed and took the office on the very same day.

When Shangguan Zheng got to know that he didn’t get selected, he got so furious that he passed out on the spot.

He was sent to the hospital immediately, where his family were informed to come and look after him.

Yang Wenshu and Shangguan Rouxue reached the hospital in a hurry. Seeing Shangguan Zheng in coma, the mother and the daughter started crying.

When Xie Zhuojun learnt about Shangguan Zheng’s situation, he also put down his work and went to the hospital.

Yang Wenshu and Shangguan Rouxue became totally dependent on him when they saw him. They asked him to go through every procedure, making him spend the entire day running up and down in the hospital. After getting tired and sweaty, he returned to the ward, only to face the two tearful women.

Xie Zhuojun became unusually annoyed when he saw Yang Wenshu’s scary face.

She cried so much that the tears washed away the powder on her face, exposing the horrifying scars.

For some reason, Xie Zhuojun had started to think that Yang Wenshu’s horrifying face exposed her horrifying inner heart. The gentle kindness, which she had possessed earlier was all gone.

He took another look at Shangguan Rouxue who was also in tears and who looked always kind and lovely, a strange feeling arose inside his heart. If Shangguan Rouxue were to lose her fragile and lotus-like face, would she also become as horrifying as Yang Wenshu?

He shivered involuntarily, not daring to think any further.

All of a sudden, he wanted to meet Shangguan Ning. Maybe in the entire family, she was the only one who wasn’t wearing a mask. Maybe only by meeting her, would he be able to confirm one more thing.

Xie Zhuojun consoled the two women and after seeing that Shangguan Zheng was still in coma, spoke in a concerned voice, “Uncle has always been healthy. Unfortunately, he is unconscious right now. I think that I should tell Ning about it. He is her father and she should visit him no matter what.”

Both Yang Wenshu and Shangguan Rouxue got startled. Yang Wenshu’s eyes burst into hatred when she heard the name. That vicious gleam frightened Xie Zhuojun, who had been looking at her at that time.

Had Yang Wenshu’s heart also been ruined when her face was?

Hadn’t she always been the kind woman who believed in Buddhism, in love and tolerance?

Shangguan Rouxue understood that her mother was losing control again. She immediately took hold of Xie Zhuojun’s arms and said with tears in her eyes, “You are right, Zhuojun, daddy is so sick and both mom and I are so worried. Thank you for helping with the procedures. As for sister... you better call her. I don’t think that sister will answer my call. She probably doesn’t want to forgive me yet...”

Previously, if Shangguan Rouxue spoke to him with this expression, he would instantly become heart-broken and hate Shangguan Ning even more, thinking that she was too heartless and irrational.

But right now, although he still thought that Shangguan Rouxue was fragile and pitiful, yet his heart wasn’t moved by it.

Hearing that Shangguan Rouxue approving of his proposal, he said instantly. “I will call her now. You stay here with Uncle and Aunt.”

Shangguan Ning came to hospital immediately after receiving Xie Zhuojun’s call that her father was in coma.

No matter what Shangguan Zheng had done to her, he was her father, at the end of the day.

The moment Shangguan Ning came to the ward, Yang Wenshu was unable to control the hatred in her heart. She extended her hand and brought her sharply pointed fingernails towards Shangguan Ning’s face.

She had been waiting for this opportunity for a very long time. Shangguan Zheng had forbidden her from meeting Shangguan Ning after her face was ruined and Shangguan Ning had never returned to their home either, post that incident. Now the opportunity eventually arrived and she was definitely not going to let go of it!

Seeing Yang Wenshu coming at her suddenly, Shangguan Ning retreated in panic and protected her face quickly.

But nothing happened. When she opened her eyes, she found that Xie Zhuojun was standing between her and Yang Wenshu.

Two bloody scars had appeared on his handsome face, looking extremely vicious.

“Zhuojun!”

Shangguan Rouxue cried out in a trembling voice. She went up and took hold of his face and said in concern, “Are you alright, Zhuojun? Mom, get a doctor!”

Yang Wenshu hadn’t expected that Xie Zhuojun would come to Shangguan Ning’s defence. She panicked, not knowing what she should do when she hurt his face with her sharp fingernails. Hearing what her daughter said, she immediately came back to her senses.

She tried to explain to Xie Zhuojun in panic. “I didn’t mean to do that, Zhuojun, I didn’t want to hurt you! Wait a second, I will get the doctor right away!”
