Chapter 3: Her Gut Feeling
Being mad at her brother, she immediately left the conversation to go make something for herself to drink. She did not trust others. It was a known fact that one should not drink something handled by others.
So, she went to the kitchen to grab a drink for herself. Another good thing about this though was that she was not a heavy drinker. The only thing available for this party was either a bottle of Chateau Lafite which was white wine or a bottle of Jeroboam of Chateau Mouton-Rothschild from 1945, which was red wine.
She may love drinking wine, but it was only on special occasions when she was able to relax. In this environment, she could not. There were too many people and the music was too loud. Aside from that, there was no one she could trust now, since she has just lost her brother, too.
Some might say that she dropped the trust between them too easily, but it was not that she did not trust him, but that as the years passed by, she could see his changes. Not only that, but she was also a heavy drinker.
Since there was only wine available, she would rather go in her fridge and grab some juice. Orange juice made her stomach hurt since her body did not bode well with sweeteners, but it was the only thing she had left in her fridge. Not only that, but it would also take a while before her stomach started hurting.
Grabbing her juice from the big steel fridge, she paid attention to the person that planned this party. She did not think about this at first, but after hearing her brother tell her that it was Cao Yang she could see that he was too attentive to her.
His stalking manner was creeping her out. Not only that, wherever she was, he also there. She refused to believe that it was only a coincidence. Aside from that, Cao Yang was also having a lewd face displayed at the moment.
She did not understand why her brother would approve of Cao Yang. Cao Yang was infamous for the many sexual interactions he has had with other women. He was famous for being the dirtiest and wicked person in the entertainment industry.
If Cao Yang had his eyes on a girl, he would do anything possible just to spend a night with that girl no matter the consequences. When she first knew of this, she thought it was weird knowing that the majority of those girls had not consented, yet he was free from any punishments. The number of girls committing suicide was also not small because of him.
Aside from committing suicide, there were girls who tried their hardest to go back into their daily life but could not due to the discrimination of the public. In China, whether you were consensual or raped, it did not matter. The only thing that matter was that you were no longer a virgin.
This was why she found it bizarre. When she knew that Cao Yang had his eyes on her, she started to research his background in order to plan a way to avoid him. She was unwilling to be forced into a sexual relationship with a man that might have sexually transmitted diseases. Aside from that, she also learned that the man was into sadistic tendencies.
She was not into those things. Not only that, but she was also still a virgin. She was unsure if she could handle psychotic things, nor was she a masochist.
----------
In the bathroom, Qiao Guangli was on the phone, talking to someone. That person was easily recognizable by his very distinctive voice. It was someone that everyone knew and someone that even Qiao Jinghua was trying to avoid right now.
"Cao Yang, everything is in place," Qiao Guangli informed Cao Yang. "Are the details of this plan in place, already?"
Cao Yang answered with a cheery voice, "Of course! This young master has been planning for four years. How can there be a failure?"
"That would be best. I am sacrificing my sister for this project. If it fails, I will certainly destroy you," Qiao Guangli threatened.
To his threat, Cao Yang flippantly replied, "Qiao Guangli, don't worry! When have my plans ever failed?"
"Never. But, this is my sister we are talking about," Qiao Guangli worriedly said.
Cao Yang laughed at Qiao Guangli's worry before replying, "Is it not just another female I will be sleeping with? Besides, I've used my brain so much more for your sister than others. She's too uptight."
"That is what I am worried about," Qiao Guangli said. "Cao Yang, you have stalked her so long, you know that-"
Before Qiao Guangli could finish, Cao Yang ended the call. Qiao Jinghua was on the move again, and he did not want to miss out on any of her actions. Besides, Qiao Guangli was making too much of a deal with her.
At the end of the day, she was just another female. Not only that, but his people have also already put the drugs in the container of the orange juice in her fridge. Once she drinks this, she would scum to the drug and beg for him to satisfy her.
Putting the phone down and staring at his target, he gave a lustful grin.
----------
"How do I avoid this creep," she thought in her head.
She was getting really disgusted at Cao Yang who kept on following her everywhere. Not only that, but she was also getting a bad gut feeling. Somehow, it made her want to get out from here.
She always trusted her gut, too. This only made her want to run away from her own home even more, but she had no other property and the hotel was a bad idea. She once had her hotel door smashed open by a rapist on the run so for the past few times if a hotel was not urgently needed, she would never enter.
This was supposed to be her birthday party, but she felt that tonight she was a slice of beef on the chopping board, and this was not a nice feeling in the least.
Despite her being calm throughout the party, Chang Yuan was able to see that she was breaking down on the inside. In an attempt to get closer to her, Chang Yuan walked up to her.
"Sister Hua, are you okay," Chang Yuan asked.
Seeing who it was that asked her that question, she immediately went straight-faced and answered with a quick nod.
"Wow… Sister Hua, you are really as the rumors say," Chang Yuan continued not minding that she was obviously being turned-off. "Cold and silent. You won't even speak to me. Someone who is quite famous."
Her only reaction was to frown her elegant brows a little before smoothening them out again in a split second.
"Sister Hua, how is it that you and Li-Ge became siblings? Your personalities are so different," Chang Yuan said, as though trying to make fun of her.
She really did not care anymore. She just wanted to leave the place. The place she used to call home. In her mind, she promised herself, "I will never tell anyone my address from now on after moving out from here."
As she was thinking to herself, Chang Yuan was still talking and chirping away. Chang Yuan talking really annoyed her for some reason. Maybe it was because the crazy girl could only talk about her and her brother's familial relationship and how they did not match in the least.
Getting annoyed easily, especially since it was Chang Yuan who was talking, she coldly spat out with dark eyes, "Chang Yuan, stop talking and shut up."
Hearing her cold words, Chang Yuan immediately shut up, holding a bit of fear within her. In this country, the scariest female was her, and everyone knew that. If one wanted to start a project with her, they had to absolutely meet her standards, or else they would be kicked.
Though Chang Yuan had enough guts to speak nonsense to her, she did not have enough guts to anger her. The Chang Incorporation was still in partnership with her and she was the top dog. If Chang Yuan angered her, they would most likely lose the partnership that was valued at five billion yuans.
By losing this partnership, Chang Yuan would no longer have protection from her parents and might be put into jail in the worst scenario.
As soon as she told Chang Yuan to shut up, Chang Yuan left the scene in freight. As for her, she believed in her gut feeling, so she needed to find a safe haven for now. However, that was not easy.
It was hard to find people to trust and the only ones left were her assistant's home.
Knowing that she might have to leave her fate in her assistant's hand, she was annoyed but still dialed her.
As the phone ringed, she waited got her assistant to answer.
