C1 A Night of Crisis.

Outside the window, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled loudly while the pouring rain raged in the wind, portraying the sky as angry and crying at the same time.

In the dark room, the breathing of a man and the soft moans of a woman intertwined.

Hsu Wanqing's mind was dizzy and she couldn't tell what was happening. The only thing she could make out was the pain-like sensation which she felt like she was being bitten by a ferocious shark and forcefully pulled into the abyss of the sea. She instinctively wanted to resist the man who was causing the pain on her body, but the hand she stretched out was weak and powerless, making the whole scene looked more like she was welcoming him.

"Hurts ~ ~"

"Is it your first time?"

The man spoke in a low voice. His voice was cold as he continued, "Be a good girl. It won't hurt too much later."

When Hsu Wanqing woke up, it was still dark. In her muddle-headed state, she felt a strong arm on her waist.

In an instant, those embarrassing scenes flowed into her mind like a waterfall.

Hsu Wanqing's face instantly became pale and her heart was filled with panic and despair.

She only remembered that last night, when she came to the clubhouse to fetch Hsu Rongxin home, she drank the drink someone gave her and started to feel dizzy.

She had kept her virginity for 20 years but was destroyed by a stranger man for no reason on one night.

Feeling the presence beside her, she turned her head to look at her side. She could not see his face clearly since the man had his back to her, but his bare back had a clear-looking skin and his figure seemed very young.

Hsu Wanqing suddenly felt the urge to cry out but did not dare to and she got up from the bed slowly, afraid of waking up the man. She randomly put on the clothes that were scattered at the foot of the bed quickly.

She was too flustered to think properly. She did not even have the courage to turn on the light to see what the man who had been with her for the entire night looked like. She hurriedly pushed open the door and rushed out.

The cold rain poured over her body, but she couldn't feel it. She ran as she cried and her tears were mixed with the rain. She couldn't even tell which was the rain and which were the tears.

When she ran back to the villa, it was dawn and the sky had just lit up. However, the villa of the Hsu family was brightly lit.

It was never like this before. Hsu Wanqing felt strange and thought, 'What happened at home?'

Hsu Wanqing stood at the door and did not dare to go in. She knew that she was in too much of a sorry state right now, her clothes were a mess and her obviously tear-stained face looked terrible. Her grandpa would be very worried if he saw her. How should she tell her grandpa about this?

When she was thinking about what to do with this situation, Butler Liu pushed the door open and was shocked at the sight in front of him. He exclaimed, "Miss, What's the matter with you? Why are you looking like this..."

When Butler Liu reached out towards her, Hsu Wanqing wanted to dodge but she was still pulled back, "Miss..."

Before Butler Liu could finish his words, his voice trembled and tears flowed out of his eyes.

Hsu Wanqing's brows jumped and she was confused. She had a bad feeling, so she asked in a slightly quivering voice, "Butler Liu, what's wrong?"

"Master is dead!"

"What?" Hsu Wanqing responded in shock. Her legs instantly felt weak that she stumbled and almost fell. Her mind was blank and she mumbled in disbelief, "How could it be? How could grandpa bear to leave me suddenly?"

Grandpa's body had not been well since half a year ago, but he already had a cardiovascular resuscitation surgery a while ago. The doctor also made a statement that he would be fine after he passed the critical period. He had already passed that stage and had been back to healthy state gradually. It would not be a problem for him to live for another ten or eight years, but why did he suddenly die?

Butler Liu looked at Hsu Wanqing's lifeless appearance and could not bear to see her like this. He said sadly while patting her back gently, "Miss, people can't come back to life after death. Please don't be sad!"

"No! Grandpa! Don't leave me!" Hsu Wanqing pushed Butler Liu's hand away, threw away her shoes which were wet and soggy because of the rain, and ran upstairs with all her might. When she got there, she saw that the corridor on the third floor was crowded with people.

The maids who were surrounding outside the crowd were the first to notice her. Seeing the favorite granddaughter of the house, they took the initiative to make way for her, their eyes filled with sympathy.

Hsu Wanqing walked step by step towards her grandpa's room. Her pruney feet due to running in the rain were already scratched and punctured on the way back, and they were almost bleeding. Yet, she did not feel any pain. Her self-consciousness felt like it was detached from her body. Every step was like stepping on the cotton and her entire body was light.

Hsu Rongxin was the first to notice Hsu Wanqing and she was a bit surprised. She walked over and stopped in front of her, "Hsu Wanqing! You still have the nerve to come back home? Do you know that the last sentence of grandpa was to ask where you were? Where the hell did you go last night!"

Hsu Wanqing's heart squeezed in pain hearing this. She only felt the bloody smell rushing to her throat before she swallowed back the urge to vomit right there. She looked at Hsu Rongxin blankly and mumbled in a weak voice, "You asked me to come to the clubhouse to pick you up."

"I did not! Don't slander me. I did not go out for a second today. Since grandpa's condition was really bad today, I did my best to take care of him staying here!"

Hsu Wanqing knew that Hsu Rongxin was lying, but she did not have the mood to argue with her now. She just wanted to take a good look at her grandpa. She brushed away Hsu Rongxin's hand which was pointing at her face and walked around her to stand at the head of Master Hsu's bed.

Old Master Hsu was covered in white cloth, but his face was not completely covered. He laid motionlessly on the bed, as if he had fallen asleep in peace like any other times.

However, she realized that he had fallen asleep forever this time. He could no longer love her and call her tenderly "Nian." He could no longer protect her or scold her playfully.

"Grandpa, I'm back!" Hsu Wanqing's eyes were filled with tears. She knelt down in front of her grandpa's bed with a plop, the brutal sound of bone hitting the ground rang out through the hall.

Hsu Xiaoyong and Ruan Shiwen knelt side by side at the head of the bed and burned paper money. When they saw Hsu Wanqing had returned perfectly fine, the two of them quickly looked at each other. There were different degrees of shock and panic in their eyes.

Tonight, they had arranged some people to make Hsu Wanqing not have the chance to return home, but they did not expect her to return safely.

When Hsu Xiaoyong came back to his senses, he got up from the ground and waved his walking stick towards Hsu Wanqing, shouting maliciously, "Damn girl! You still dare to come back!"

"Uncle..." Hsu Wanqing did not have the strength to dodge the walking stick in time. Getting hit by the hard stick, she gritted her teeth while enduring the pain. She felt like her ribs were about to break.

Her uncle was really ruthless!

She struggled to cover her aching ribs and with her movements, Hsu Rongxin, who was secretly pleased at the side, accidently noticed that the two buttons on her shirt were actually lost. Looking closely, she could see the traces on her skin and her eyes immediately widened.

The man they arranged had clearly said that his plan did not succeed and that she ran away. However, looking at the situation now, it seemed like Hsu Wanqing must have had sex with a certain man!

Her eyes immediately shone with excitement as she walked over and abruptly pulled Hsu Wanqing's collar open. In the mid of struggles, Hsu Wanqing didn't expect that her shirt would be suddenly pulled open, and the traces on her neck and collarbone were exposed without any obstruction.

The marks were dark red and purple. It was exactly like hickeys. Seeing this, everyone got silent and it was a shocking scene.

"Sis, what happened to your neck?" Hsu Rongxin pretended to scream in fear and immediately covered her mouth in shock afterwards.

She naturally knew what these marks meant, but she wanted everyone to see those marks and think that Hsu Wanqing was that type of person who liked to sleep around.

Immediately, as she expected, there was a series of surprised gasps in the room. The looks in the eyes of the servants in the room became different towards Hsu Wanqing. Gradually, they became hostile and even showed contempt by clicking their tongue in disgust.

Old master had died of illness, but his most beloved granddaughter was fooling around with wild men outside when he was on the gate of death. She didn't even see him for the last time. How despicable was it! She wasn't worth the love of Old Master at all!

When everyone started pointing fingers towards her, Hsu Wanqing came back to her senses and pulled her clothes over her neck in panic.

She knew that Hsu Rongxin had always disliked her and wanted to compete with her for everything, but she did not understand why she could be so cruel and must humiliate her to this extent.

Hsu Wanqing glared at Hsu Rongxin in hatred and immediately felt rage rising in her heart.
