He Yufan's nerves twitched twice, feeling inexplicably frightened. She then comforted herself: There are many identical things in this world; she couldn't simply conclude that the dress was Yan Luoxi’s and deny her good friend who was as close as a sister based on its resemblance!

She examined the dress, trying to find more convincing evidence.

The dress wasn’t new but it was very clean. She suddenly had an idea and looked inside the bag; sure enough, there was a receipt from a dry cleaner's shop. She hurriedly unfolded the receipt and saw that the date on it was the day after Yan Luoxi didn't come home at night.

He Yufan’s head buzzed; Shao Meizhuo hadn’t struck her, but this flimsy piece of paper had utterly defeated her.

Past memories slowly surfaced, though they were fragmented. Yet, she could still put together a coherent sequence: After Yan Luoxi first met Li An at Aan International and left in a daze; how unexpectedly she became the tea girl by Li An's side; how she returned home late one night with marks of kissing all over her body; how Li An had arranged for them to move into dormitories on the same day, coincidentally meeting outside their new rooms before treating them to dinner...

That was enough. He Yufan, who took pride in herself, was infuriated and felt utterly powerless. How foolishly immature she was! To think that the awe-inspiring Li Dazhong (Great President Li) had a special affection for her! To believe that all these were due to her charm!

He Yufan’s heart and mind turned cold as she mechanically and numbly put the dress in her pocket and tossed it onto the back seat.

Yan Luoxi, her best friend,竟然colluded with the man she loved most to deceive her. She couldn't have imagined that such a typical melodramatic scenario would happen to her!

He Yifan was quick-witted and after much contemplation, he gradually understood that Li An's behavior might be motivated by his desire to protect Yan Luoxi.

The madwoman today accused him of hitting and scratching Li An. These incidents must have been orchestrated by Yan Luoxi. It seemed that the person truly important to Li An was Yan Luoxi, while he himself was merely a scapegoat, suffering unjustly for something beyond his control.

The more He Yifan thought about these things, the angrier he became!!!

She was just an ordinary woman who, like most women, naturally prioritized love above everything else. For love, she would give up anything, including her life and friendships.

He Yifan shared a common flaw with other women: when she discovered that the man she loved had another woman in his life, she would blame this woman for nearly all of the problems, especially if it turned out to be her best friend. This resentment would only intensify under such circumstances.

Li An's phone call was unusually long; it came from Shao Junhe who said that Shao Meizhuo had been acting like a madwoman, threatening suicide by crashing into cars or jumping off buildings. Although Li An despised Shao Meizhuo intensely, he didn't wish for her death, especially considering the powerful backing she had from her family and his own iron-fisted father.

His temples throbbed with pain as he massaged his numb scalp; what kind of fate was this How did he end up with such a troublesome situation!

Liyi An instructed Shao Junhe to give the phone to Shao Meizhuo, but when Shao Meizhuo didn't pick up his call, Liyi An got even more frustrated. Once she did answer, her behavior became even more desperate and suicidal. Eventually, he just hung up and threw the phone into the car before slumping into it.

Liyi An was in a foul mood, while He Yufan's face showed strong emotions. Despite his alert nature, Liyi An didn't notice the change in He Yufan’s expression at this moment. After some time, he proposed to take He Yufan home. He Yufan nodded and softly said 'okay.'

Anrui International was close to the employee dormitory building. Five minutes later, He Yufan walked calmly out of Liyi An's car, waved at him casually, turned around, and entered the building, whereupon she couldn't hold back her tears any longer.

The morning incident outside the PR department, involving two beautiful women publicly fighting over the unbelievably handsome General Manager Liyi An, became the latest juicy gossip circulating through the Anrui Group. Yan Luoxi and Ye Zixin only just heard about what happened to He Yufan.

Without a doubt, Yan Luoxi knew that the person who dared to cause trouble at the company was Shao Meizhuo.

They both called He Yufan but learned from her colleagues that He Yufan had been given leave by Liyi An. When they rushed back to their dormitory, neither of them had eaten lunch yet. Upon returning, He Yufan still looked the same as she did after the morning incident, if not worse, because she had spent the whole morning crying on the sofa.

"Yufan, how are you" It was the first time in four years that Yan Luoxi saw the usually fierce He Yufan looking so disheveled. Without even taking off her shoes, she rushed over to where He Yufan sat on the couch.

"Yes, are you hurt anywhere Don't scare us!" Ye Xinxin also came over with a worried expression.

He Yufan ignored their concerns and slightly rotated her dark eyes, staring intently at Yan Luoxi. Her voice was somewhat sharp as she questioned her: "You've known Li An from the very beginning, right"

Yan Luoxi was suddenly startled, her expression changed, and she stood there speechless.

Their reaction caused a bitter yet painful smile to appear at the corners of He Yufan's lips. She pointed at Yan Luoxi with her finger and said each word clearly: "You've known Li An from the very beginning; you two have been secretly in contact these days. You're treating me like a fool, right"

Yan Luoxi opened her eyes wide in shock, looking at He Yufan fearfully while shaking her head repeatedly: "Yufan, it's not what you think; truly..."

The moment He Yufan heard Yan Luoxi's explanation, she felt the last bit of hope in her heart shatter. She was overwhelmed with a sense of innocence and despair, suddenly standing up, screaming at the top of her lungs: "Yan Luoxi, why are you doing this to me... Why didn't you tell me earlier... Why..."

Ye Xinxin was shocked by the scene in front of her. She looked back and forth between He Yufan and Yan Luoxi with a puzzled expression, asking anxiously: "What's going on"

He Yufan panted as she bitterly remarked: “She, our good friend who we’ve known for four years, has been deceiving us all along. You two have had dealings from the beginning but acted like strangers in front of us, pretending to be clueless time and again. Is this not treating us like fools Can this still be called a friendship”and his wife were clearly better than those towards Lian and Yan Luoxi; when he saw them approaching, Xiao Zhiyan went straight into Li Haonan's arms, refusing to budge.Lian was in a foul mood about t...
