The slender needle of the silver shiny injection needle pierced Chu Di's chest, and after a moment of unharmed, the white shirt slowly became bright red.

There was a pain that was so cold that it enveloped his heart, as if someone had tied a boulder to his heart, and the stone was pulling him down.

Chu Di gasped, the place where the needle had been pricked overlapped with the location where he had been wounded by a gunshot, and in his memory, the assassination that almost killed him didn't seem to hurt so much.

"Why did you do this to me? Why did you do this to my father? Didn't I pay back enough over the years? Why did I have to kill him?" Ye Xiangwan's voice sounded trembling, but her hand was extremely firm. This is a necessary condition for a good brain surgeon, no matter how bad the environment, no matter how great the pressure, the hand can not tremble, the slightest difference, the error is a thousand miles, when a person's life is in the palm of your hand, your hand is no matter what, can not tremble.

It doesn't matter if you want to save him or you want to kill him.

"Three years, I have let you be a scourge for three years, Mr. Chu, you touch your conscience and ask yourself, have I ever done anything to be sorry for you? Do I have a word of complaint? I have always thought that no matter how bastard you are, no matter how human you are, you only have a little conscience, you will never be so ruthless, how can you be so ruthless? If you hate me, forget it, how did my father provoke you?! Why do you have to drive him to a corner?!"

Time was like a blade, and in her mind, scene after scene flashed quickly, and some of the things she had forgotten were remembered at the moment.

It turned out that the first time they met was not at that evening, when she and her family were cornered outside the dilapidated shantytown, and Chu Di appeared as a savior.

It's much earlier.

She was 16 years old that year, and just after her birthday, her father gave her a precious gift. At that time, although the Ye family's business was not top-notch in H City, it was also famous and well-known. Like many 16-year-old girls with a solid family, she will have a coming-of-age ceremony of her own.

Father Ye didn't like her, but he didn't deliberately harsh her in life, and he still gave her what he should have given her. So after a series of careful preparations by etiquette teachers, ready-to-wear shop owners, and jewelry and accessories experts, Ye Xiangwan will hold her own adult dance party on a weekend night with several other girls of her age.

This dance party not only means that she has stepped from a girl to a lady's team, but also means that from that day on, she will officially enter the social world of H City, and the world with its prosperity and enchantment will set off a gorgeous curtain for her. And in that world, all men who are older than her, or the same age as her, can pursue her passionately.

It was the beginning of a dreamlike life, and if it went well, she would meet an elite man who was suitable for her and herself in the same class of people, and then she would have children and live this life happily and well......

On that day, she wore a pale pink dress, and the girls of 16 years old like her, secretly hid behind the towering white Roman columns in the manor, with apprehension and excitement, and a half-understood yearning for love and the future, peeping at the boys who were the same age as them, equally uneasy, but who wanted to be reserved and mature.

The girls chirped and discussed who should be the first dance partner at the bar mitzvah ceremony, which boy was more handsome, and who had a straighter figure and more skillful dance steps, so that they could fly all over the field with them, rather than being trampled on their feet. It's a pity that Ye Xiangwan is not very keen on such discussions, because she already knows who her first dance partner will be in her life.

Uncle Guo's second son, Guo Chencheng, the youngest son of her father's best friend and business partner, spent most of his summer vacation teaching her dance steps, and the man who was stepped on by her swollen toe countless times before finally teaching her dance steps became her first dance partner.

Speaking of which, it's a really boring thing to do. Knowing the answer too early is like opening a snack box too early, and by the time you're really ready to eat, the aroma will already be gone.

There was no way to look forward to the future dance partner with other girls, so Ye Xiangwan had to move to the dining table stupidly.

Then, she met him.

"It is said that in France you can only make twelve sets of cutlery like this one set, because the French have become outrageous in their dedication to table manners. But today, I think we're about the same. The man sitting across from her had an aura that could not be ignored, his eyes were almost dark green, and he was dressed in a hand-made fitting gown that made him no different from the men present, but he was different from them, he did not have their gentle and elegant temperament, he gave a sharp feeling, like a knife pill hidden in a sheath, like a wolf hiding in a flock.

Ye Xiangwan didn't know why she wanted to talk to him, maybe it was because of his eyes.

He seemed a little flustered in the face of a table of tableware that shimmered with silver light and made people dizzy, although he covered it up well, but she saw through it at a glance.

At the age of 16, she has an extraordinary sensitivity, and she can see that this man who is wearing a lot of fancy clothes has not received excellent etiquette training.

"I sometimes get dizzy with these big forks and knives, but then someone told me that figuring out how to use them is very simple, you just have to use them from the outside in. Every time you change a dish, you change a pair of knives and forks......"

As she spoke, she slowly picked up the neatly arranged serrated silver knives and cut the medium-rare veal steak into medium-sized pieces.

The man sitting across from her was watching her all the time. His gaze was deep and strange, without the slightest concealment, like a vicious wolf, but Ye Xiangwan was not afraid, she simply thought that he was slightly hostile because he had just arrived and was not suitable for social life

But later, she finally understood that that kind of eyes were not hostile at all, they were hatred, naked hatred, and rushed straight out of her eyes without any disguise.

The man looked at her for a long time, and finally lowered his head to follow her appearance, clumsily but seriously cutting the steak on his plate.

His movements were very stiff, and the blade made a screeching sound when it was handed over to the porcelain, and Ye Xiangwan was shocked when he heard it, trying to control his facial muscles and not let himself show an uncomfortable expression.

Finally, the man put down the knife and fork, and Ye Xiangwan's ears, which had been destroyed, also escaped.

Just as she was about to leave the table to see how Guo Chencheng was preparing, the man suddenly said, "Can I invite you to dance?"
