“Ouch!” Qiao Muwan looked at her broken tooth, and her face turned pale. She yelled, “Miao Zifu!”

Miao Zifu had long left. She pressed on the call alert beside her, but no one came to her rescue. Her phone had also been smashed.

She had nowhere to release her fury now. No one was willing to help her at all.

Her mouth was now pooling with blood.

Despite feeling extremely angry, Qiao Muwan could only push herself on the wheelchair and enter the bathroom to wash herself up.

When she was done and returned to her room, she saw the man in her room, causing her heart to race. Her teeth started to chatter uncontrollably.

That man seemed to have sensed Qiao Muwan's return and turned around instantly. He immediately grabbed Qiao Muwan's hair and pulled on it.

“It hurts! It hurts!” Qiao Muwan was in so much pain that her body trembled.

“Is this how you torture yourself when I'm not around? I tried so hard to save you, and this is how you repay me?” The man spoke furiously as he pressed her head against the bed.

 “I'm sorry! I didn't know why things happened this way!” She tried hard to guard her face. She truly had no clue why things ended up in such a mess.

That man slapped Qiao Muwan across her face, but she didn't dare to cry.

She could be ruthless and cruel back then, but now, this man could see through all her tricks.

She thought that this man was cold and elegant, so why was he so moody and violent? After knowing him for a long time, she finally learned that this man had experienced a bad break-up in the past too. However, she didn't dare to pry for further details.

That man was so cold and cruel, and she could not feel any trace of warmth nor see a hint of a smile on his face.

That day, Qiao Muwan didn't just lose a few teeth. When that man personally treated her wounds for her, Qiao Muwan felt as though he hadn't just lost his mind earlier.

After the man left, Qiao Muwan looked at herself in the mirror. Every time she saw her own reflection, she would still scream in shock. It had been several months, but she still couldn't accept the fact that she looked completely different now.

She recalled what Xie s.h.i.+liu had told her earlier. It wasn't her fault that she was ugly, but she shouldn't frighten others with her looks.

Qiao Muwan felt so much rage that her asthma acted up, which almost caused her to lose her life. Luckily, she managed to survive after receiving emergency resuscitation.

In Country A

The tests in spring for political positions had ended, and the results had been released on several websites.

Some people rejoiced, while others were depressed.

After learning that the results were published, Yun Bixue hurriedly dashed into Xie Limo's study and borrowed his laptop to check.

Xie Limo looked at how eager Yun Bixue was and frowned. “Why are you checking?”

 Yun Bixue's eyes lit up as she held a stack of examination slips from behind her. “Those people gave me these.”

Xie Limo raised his brows. “How many poor students did you sponsor?” Looking at the thick stack, he was sure that there was a significant number of them.

Yun Bixue thought for a while and answered, “Several hundreds, I think! I can't be sure, but they're worth being sponsored. Their personalities are great, and they've been selected after rounds of interviews.”

Xie Limo rubbed his forehead. He knew what she had planned to do, but he didn't expect that she would help so many people. “Do you really intend to make those departments ours?”

“That'll make things easier for us. Think about it. Isn't it better to have someone on our side in each department?” As Yun Bixue spoke, her eyes were glittering.
