After the rings were completed, Mo Mo forced Jian Dan to go to the hospital. When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor frowned when he saw Jian Dan’s wound… “The wound is very deep, and there’s a metal substance inside that has to be cleaned up. Otherwise, it will be very serious,” the doctor said solemnly. “Because the wound is too deep—the dermal tissue is already exposed—it will be very painful when I clean it,” the doctor told Jian Dan.

Mo Mo’s tears were already flowing. Jian Dan had been pressing on the wound just now, so she did not see it. Now that she saw the wound, she sucked in a breath of cold air. It was really too deep. She could even see her finger bones.

When Jian Dan saw Mo Mo’s expression, she smiled and comforted her. “I’m really fine!”

The doctor began to clean Jian Dan’s wound. The moment the alcohol touched Jian Dan’s finger, Jian Dan’s entire body tensed up. She bit her lips hard to prevent herself from crying out in pain because she did not want Mo Mo to worry. She was also afraid that Mo Mo would be scared.

The doctor worked very swiftly and cleaned the wound in no time. Although Jian Dan did not make a sound, her entire forehead was already covered in sweat. Even her back was a little wet.

“Young lady, you’re really amazing! You didn’t make a sound,” the doctor praised.

“I told you it’s not a big problem! It’s not very painful,” Jian Dan forced a smile and said to Mo Mo.

After cleaning the wound, the doctor sutured it. When he wanted to wrap Jian Dan’s wound in gauze, she stopped him. “Doctor, there’s no need to wrap it with gauze, right?” Jian Dan asked tentatively.

“You don’t want to wrap it in gauze?” the doctor asked in surprise.

“Just put a band-aid on it!” Jian Dan said.

If it was wrapped in gauze, Chu Liyuan would definitely find out and be very worried. Jian Dan did not want him to worry.

“How can that do?” The doctor said bluntly.

No matter what Jian Dan said, the doctor did not agree. In the end, he wrapped Jian Dan’s wound in gauze. He even gave Jian Dan a tetanus injection and instructed Jian Dan to apply the medicine regularly.

After Jian Dan and Mo Mo left the hospital, Jian Dan asked Mo Mo to go home after adding each other on WeChat.

Jian Dan then went to a pharmacy to buy a band-aid. She endured the pain and removed the gauze on her hand. Then, she put the band-aid on before returning.

When Jian Dan returned to the hotel, Chu Liyuan had yet to return. She heaved a sigh of relief and went to take a shower before Chu Liyuan returned. During the shower, Jian Dan carefully avoided her fingers and did not get them wet.

When she came out of the shower, she realized that Chu Liyuan had already returned… “Uncle, you’re back?” Jian Dan asked with a smile.

Chu Liyuan immediately saw the band-aid on Jian Dan’s hand… “What happened to your hand?” Chu Liyuan asked.

“Oh! I accidentally scratched my skin when I was shopping today.” Jian Dan smiled and covered it up. “Uncle, I’m hungry. Let’s go eat, okay?” Jian Dan did not want Chu Liyuan to focus on her fingers again, so she changed the topic. “There’s a cocktail party tonight. Attend it with me.” Chu Liyuan did not dwell on Jian Dan’s finger.

“Cocktail party? Okay!” Jian Dan replied.

Chu Liyuan brought Jian Dan to a styling house and handed her to Qianqian, letting her and Qianqian go to the cocktail party first. He and Jihao had something to deal with first, so he would only go over later.

Jian Dan was wearing an apricot-white gown and a pair of silver high heels… When they arrived at the entrance of the cocktail party, Qianqian suddenly received a call from Jihao. He said that he wanted Qianqian to send something somewhere immediately.

Qianqian looked at Jian Dan worriedly…

“Qianqian, go ahead! I’ll be fine alone.” Jian Dan reassured Qianqian.

After Qianqian left, Jian Dan went to the cocktail party alone. She found a corner and sat down to eat. She had not eaten anything the entire afternoon and was really hungry.

Jian Dan was focused on eating and did not notice the few people in the distance…

“Xiaoyun, look who that is?”

“A bad penny always turns up!” The woman who had been at odds with Jian Dan today was called Zhu Xiaoyun—the only daughter of Zhu Zhengyuan—the chairman of Billion Hotel.

Jian Dan noticed that a few figures had appeared in front of her. From the corner of her eye, Jian Dan saw that it was the woman from today. She did not even bother to look up and continued eating.

“Ordinary people can’t get into a cocktail party like this. Some people used some unknown method to sneak in and think that they’re from the upper echelon of society,” Zhu Xiaoyun mocked.

“Why are there so many flies buzzing around? How annoying.” Jian Dan acted as if she did not see them. She waved her arms as if she was chasing away flies. “You!” Zhu Xiaoyun was infuriated by Jian Dan. “I’ll definitely teach you a good lesson.” She left in exasperation.

Zhu Xiaoyun’s voice emanated from the stage. “Today, we will choose 10 ladies and hold an auction for the opportunity to dance with them. The funds obtained will be used to build a library for the children of Angel Orphanage.” Zhu Xiaoyun smiled and then looked in the direction of Jian Dan with ill intentions.

The auction was in full swing. Jian Dan sat in the corner and continued to eat.

Until… a bright light suddenly shone on Jian Dan. Jian Dan covered her eyes with her hand and looked at the stage… Zhu Xiaoyun said with a sly smile, “Our last lady has been chosen tonight. Let’s invite her to the stage.”

Jian Dan was invited to the stage… “Gentlemen, you can bid now,” Zhu Xiaoyun said.

“I don’t know how to dance. Get someone else!” Jian Dan said dispassionately and walked off the stage. However, just as Jian Dan walked off the stage, Zhu Xiaoyun gave a look to the waiter nearby who then slowly walked towards Jian Dan with a tray filled with wine glasses. He deliberately knocked Jian Dan to the floor and spilled all the wine on Jian Dan. Not only that, but he also stepped hard on Jian Dan’s hand.

Coincidentally, his foot landed accurately on Jian Dan’s injured hand. Excruciating pain emanated throughout Jian Dan. She looked at the band-aid that was instantly soaked in blood and knew that the wound must have split open.

Jian Dan took a deep breath and stood up. She tried her best to make her face look normal. Jian Dan turned around and slowly walked towards Zhu Xiaoyun who looked at her smugly.

Jian Dan glanced at the cake beside Zhu Xiaoyun and smiled… Suddenly, she pressed Zhu Xiaoyun’s head into the cake with one hand. “You gave me such a big gift. How can I not give you something back in return? Don’t you think so?” Jian Dan’s eyes were cold, but there was a smile on her face.

Zhu Xiaoyun screamed blue murder. She struggled to get up, but Jian Dan pressed her head hard, preventing her from getting up.

“However, it doesn’t seem to be enough? You like to pour wine on people so much. Try it too!” Jian Dan picked up a bottle of red wine on the table and emptied it over Zhu Xiaoyun’s cake-covered head in one go. Only then did Jian Dan let go…

Zhu Xiaoyun’s face was covered in cake and red wine. She looked like she wanted to kill someone. She bellowed at the bodyguards beside her, “Strip her.” Jian Dan smashed the bottle of red wine on the table and raised the broken bottle. “Who dares to come over?” Jian Dan cast a cold-eyed glance at the bodyguards in front of her.

Seeing this, the bodyguards stopped… Zhu Xiaoyun glared at the bodyguards and barked fiercely, “There are so many of you—all burly men. You can’t even handle a woman?”

After the bodyguards were reprimanded, they rushed towards Jian Dan who gripped the broken wine bottle tightly.

“Who dares to touch her?” A bone-chilling voice that seemed to come from Hell rang in the air.

Chu Liyuan walked over with a cold glare. The aura he exuded made everyone stop and subconsciously make way.

At the sight of Chu Liyuan—who was making a beeline for her—Jian Dan threw the wine bottle in her hand to the side and hid her bleeding hand behind her back. She looked smilingly at Chu Liyuan.

Chu Liyuan reached Jian Dan and pulled the hand that Jian Dan had hidden behind her back. The band-aid had long been soaked in blood, and blood kept dripping onto the floor.

Chu Liyuan frowned and looked at Jian Dan’s hand coldly. Without saying a word, he carried Jian Dan princess style. Before he left, he said to Jihao, “There’s no need for Billion Hotel to exist anymore. I don’t want to hear the name of Billion Hotel after tonight.” With that, he carried Jian Dan and left.

Ling Jihao said coldly to his assistant beside him, “Did you hear what Chu Liyuan said just now? Do as he says!

Zhu Xiaoyun looked at the scene before her in surprise. She did not know the man just now, but she knew Ling Jihao. He was a famous business tycoon, and he was certainly capable of fulfilling his promise..
