“There’s no need to be polite with me. You just came back, so lie on the ground for a while.” Xie Yuhuan sighed.

Long Yuning’s body went soft and she fell to the ground. As she looked at Xie Yuhuan, tears silently flowed down her face. Her exquisite makeup had long changed beyond recognition. Her dirty appearance was incomparably sorry.

“Third Aunt, I knew you would come and save me.” Long Yuning sobbed. After crying for a while, she suddenly stopped crying and crawled up from the ground. She looked around warily. “Third Aunt, quickly bring me away from here. Perhaps the Ninth Master’s men will come back later.” Long Yuning said nervously.

Xie Yuhuan didn’t move and looked at her expressionlessly. “Don’t worry, Jiuhan’s men won’t come. I negotiated with him, so he’s willing to let you go.”

Long Yuning’s expression froze. She hurriedly asked, “Third Aunt, what did you promise the Ninth Master?”

Xie Yuhuan’s expression darkened. “Retract all the spies I planted around him and promise not to do this again.” Xie Yuhuan’s heart ached as she spoke. In order to save Long Yuning’s life, she had destroyed the trap she had set for nearly ten years. All her efforts had been wasted. Moreover, because she wanted to protect Long Yuning, it caused a barrier between Xie Jiuhan and her for the first time.

“If I knew you were so stupid, I wouldn’t have told you about the spies.” Xie Yuhuan sneered. Everyone said that one should learn from whomever one was with. Long Yuning had grown up by her side, so why did she not learn anything from her? She should have seen it all these years, right?

Recalling Xie Jiuhan’s advice, he said, “Little Aunt, I feel sorry for you for doing this for Long Yuning. Even if you keep a useless teammate like her by your side, she will only be a burden to you in the future. You might regret saving her someday.”

Xie Yuhuan understood what Xie Jiuhan meant. However, she had treated Long Yuning as her biological daughter, and she couldn’t watch her die. Fortunately, Xie Jiuhan had given her some respect.

Knowing that Xie Jiuhan had spared her, Long Yuning took a deep breath and finally felt at ease. She composed herself and asked, “Third Aunt, since the Ninth Master has forgiven me, can I continue to stay in the Xie Manor?”

Xie Yuhuan’s expression was ugly. “Don’t even think about the Xie Manor. When you’ve completely recovered, I’ll get someone to bring you to an apartment. You can stay there in the future.”

Long Yuning’s eyes turned red as tears streamed down her face. She knew very well that it was already good enough that Xie Yuhuan had protected her. There shouldn’t be a chance to stay in the Xie Manor.

“Third Aunt, then I won’t be able to serve you in the future.” Long Yuning wept bitterly.

Xie Yuhuan turned her head away, a hint of unwillingness appearing on her old face. She had hoped that Long Yuning would serve her for a few more years so that she could have a good life. She didn’t expect such an outcome.

Sighing again, Xie Yuhuan said, “Don’t worry. Although you’re no longer by my side, you’ll still be the same as usual. You’ll forever be the daughter of the Long family. Jiuhan promised me that he won’t publicize the mistakes you’ve made. After a while, you’ll be performing at the Hong Meng Theater. You should calm down and prepare well. Successful performances will help you gain a foothold in the Capital. As for the Xie Manor and Jiuhan, you should give up on them as soon as possible. You’ll never have a chance.”

Long Yuning’s expression turned bitter as her tears fell. From the first time she met Xie Jiuhan when she was young, she had been deeply attracted to this man. Later on, she relied on Xie Yuhuan’s love and even hoped to be a couple with Xie Jiuhan.

“I won’t hide it from you either. Originally, I brought you back to the Capital because I wanted to give you a chance to get close to Jiuhan, but your method is really too disappointing. From now on, forget about Jiuhan. You and him are not from the same world at all. I understand Jiuhan. He’s cruel and cold-hearted by nature, and he treats his parents and brothers by hook or by crook. You can’t subdue him at all. Even if you force yourself to be with him, the one who will be injured in the end will only be you.” Xie Yuhuan said sincerely.

With that, Xie Yuhuan ignored her and turned around to return to the car.. Two men in black helped Long Yuning into another black car not far away.
