When Shen Mo heard him mention it, he remembered that he hadn’t seen Ji Mingxuan for several days. He slept soundly at night, and Ji Mingxuan was busy with the engagement recently, so he didn’t know if he came home to sleep.

　　Zhao Yi looked around and asked, “Why don’t I see Mr. Ji?”

　　Shen Mo said: “Mingxuan has many friends and is busy greeting guests.”

　　”Mr. Ji is really a busy man.”

　　”It’s always been like this.”

　　Shen Mo felt somewhat awkward when facing Zhao Yi. He originally wanted to say a few perfunctory words and then walk away, but unexpectedly the lights in the hall dimmed at this moment.

　　Then the music started, and Zhou Yang and Ji An’an walked out hand in hand. Both of them were dressed in formal attire, Zhou Yang’s black suit matched with Ji An’an’s pure white dress, they were truly a perfect match. The only beam of light in the venue shone on the two of them, making people a little dizzy.

　　Shen Mo looked from afar and felt that everything was unreal. His impression of Zhou Yang was still stuck in three years ago, and he felt unfamiliar with the man who was about to become Ji Anan’s husband.

　　It took Shen Mo a while to realize that Ji Mingxuan was also standing not far away.

　　Ji Mingxuan’s gaze swept over, seemed to pause on him for a moment, and then quickly passed by.

　　Shen Mo wasn’t sure if it was his illusion.

　　He heard someone whispering nearby: “The Ji family is full of handsome men and beautiful women.”

　　”My sister is getting married soon, but my brother has not made any move yet.”

　　”Mr. Ji has a lot of gossips, and if he wants to get married, there are so many ladies for him to choose from.”

　　Zhao Yi also heard these words, glanced at Shen Mo, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

　　Shen Mo felt increasingly uncomfortable.

　　Fortunately, the engagement party was just a formality. Zhou Yang and Ji Anan cut the cake and poured the champagne, and everything was over. When the two kissed, everyone applauded and blessed them. Shen Mo clapped so hard in the crowd that his hands were sore.

　　Then the lights came back on. Ji Anan treated Shen Mo as a family member and walked straight over to talk to him. She had just drunk some wine on the stage, and her cheeks were flushed, adding a touch of brilliance. She had an engagement ring on her left hand, which reflected a dazzling light under the crystal lamp.

　　Ji Anan patted her chest and said, “I was really nervous just now.”

　　”Everyone is like this.” Shen Mo said sincerely, “Congratulations.”

　　Ji Anan smiled and took a sip of wine, and asked: “I see that Big Brother is in a good mood today, have you two reconciled?”

　　Shen Mo didn’t even think about it and said, “Of course.”

　　Ji Anan was not without envy: “Zhou Yang and I… would rather be like you and Big Brother.”

　　Shen Mo said: “It will only be better than us.”

　　As the two were talking, they saw Zhao Yi holding a glass of wine and going to find Ji Mingxuan from afar.

　　Ji Anan had also heard some gossips and was a little unhappy. She muttered quietly, “Why is he here too?”

　　As she spoke, she took Shen Mo’s hand and said, “Let’s go find big brother.”

　　Shen Mo struggled to get free and had to be pulled away by her.

　　On the way, I passed a tall man. He looked ordinary, but there was a deep scar on his brow bone, which looked quite eye-catching.

　　Shen Mo just glanced at him, his face turned pale instantly, his legs seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and his whole body froze in place, unable to take even a step forward.

　　Ji Anan turned around and asked, “Brother Shen, what’s wrong with you?”

　　The hand that Shen Mo was holding was also icy cold. He said, “That person just now…”

　　”Who?” Ji Anan looked back and said, “Oh, you mean the man with the scar on his face? He is the bodyguard hired by Aunt Zhou to be in charge of the security of the engagement party. It seems that he is also Zhou Yang’s distant cousin.”

　　”He looks ferocious and scary.” Ji Anan whispered, “I heard he was a gangster and had been in jail before. He just got out of jail not long ago.”

　　Shen Mo’s face was pale, and it took him a long time to find his voice. He whispered, “…I know.”

　　Ji Anan didn’t hear clearly what Shen Mo said, and continued: “Actually, I don’t like Zhou Yang’s cousin very much, but Aunt Zhou has to take care of her relatives, so there’s nothing she can do. No matter who this person is, as long as we don’t mess with him, everything will be fine.”

　　Shen Mo said, “Yes.”

　　His voice trembled unconsciously. He knew very well what would happen if he offended that person.

　　Ji Anan only realized something was wrong at this point and called out, “Brother Shen?”

　　Shen Mo was like a frightened bird, and was actually scared by the sound.

　　He stood in the crowded hotel lobby, and it was as if he had returned to the day three years ago. It was a very ordinary day. Zhou Yang had to go home for a few days. He went out alone to buy things, and he never dreamed that he would be kidnapped…

　　”Brother Shen? Are you okay?” Ji Anan called again.

　　Shen Mo suddenly came back to his senses, and tried to calm down, saying: “I feel a little uncomfortable, I want to go to the bathroom.”

　　Seeing that he looked really bad, Ji Anan let go of his hand and asked, “Do you want me to go with you?”

　　Shen Mo looked in the direction of Ji Mingxuan.

　　He was talking to Zhao Yi. No one knew what they were talking about. Zhao Yi was smiling very happily, with his eyes glued to Ji Mingxuan.

　　Shen Mo shook his head and said, “No, I just need to take a rest.”

　　He pushed through the crowd and walked towards the restroom.

　　The lights in the hall were a bit too dazzling, shining a white patch on people’s faces, and no matter whether they were men or women, old or young, there seemed to be a hideous scar on their brows. Shen Mo walked very slowly for a short distance, and when he walked into the bathroom, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and even his hair was wet.

　　The face reflected in the mirror was frighteningly pale. Shen Mo only took a glance and then lowered his head to wash his hands.

　　The cold water splashed over his hands.

　　The wound on his right hand had healed long ago, without even a scar left on his hand, but he would never forget that someone had stepped on his hand and broken his fingers one by one.

　　When he was kidnapped, he had a chance to escape. He hid in the bushes and called Zhou Yang again and again, but the number that he had memorized in his heart could not be dialed.

　　Later, when he was caught, he heard from that group of people that Zhou Yang had gone abroad with Ji An’an. How ridiculous, he, the one who was left behind, was the last one to know the truth.

　　At that time, he was lying on the ground with wounds all over his body. His fingers were deformed by being stepped on. He heard the crackling sound of broken bones with his own ears, and it was so painful that he couldn’t even scream.

　　Truly unforgettable.
