Even when the waiter brought out their food and set it on the table, neither Yue Ling nor Zhao Ya’Er touch the food.

Until Zhao Ya’Er was done telling her past to Yue Ling, she scoffs sarcastically with a smile like she is okay.

"Sorry, I didn’t invite you to make you listen to something like this."

Yue Ling stares at the beautiful woman who had invited her out for lunch. She never would have thought Zhao Ya’Er to be someone who is being abused by a bastard.

Seeing that her best friend remained in silence, Zhao Ya’Er’s smile widens and she picks up her chopsticks.

"Yue-yue, I am really okay now. After I met Xu Long, I came to realize that there is still someone as sweet as him in the world."

She told Yue Ling about how she met her ex-boyfriend and how their relationship went south. She even told her about how he would beat her up when he’s drunk or angry, then how she encounter Xu Long.

The reason she never told anyone is because she was afraid of how others will judge her and she didn’t want her family to worry about her, so she kept everything to herself.

She didn’t know why, but after she saw the look in Yue Ling’s eyes, she couldn’t help but vent her feelings out.

Maybe it’s because she never told anyone, and she had reached her limit.

However, after letting everything out to Yue Ling, she felt it was stupid of her to keep such painful feelings inside.

Yue Ling’s eyes slowly blink, and she kept her gaze on the woman.

She thought back to Madam Zhao’s words the day when she and Lu Tian stopped by Elegancy. The woman said she didn’t know why her daughter always kept her hair short like boy.

Looking at Zhao Ya’Er’s short hair, everything made sense. She kept her hair short so when her abusive ex comes after her, he won’t be able to grab her hair.

However, knowing that Zhao Ya’Er didn’t want to talk about the subject anymore, she decides to not pry on the subject.

Even though she had lost her appetite due to the anger inside her for Zhao Ya’Er’s misfortune, she still picks up her chopsticks.

"Ya’Er?"

Just as her finger touches the chopsticks, a man’s voice calls out from the restaurant entrance.

Yue Ling glance to the person while Zhao Ya’Er’s shoulder jumped and her expression drain of all colors.

It was a man wearing a grey suit. His facial features were not too bad, but Yue Ling can see that his appearance is not even close to her male subordinates.

He wasn’t alone but with a woman in a red dress suit. Her white button shirt inside was open enough to reveal her cleavage so others can see her rather large breasts.

However, from the looks of it, anyone can tell that she must be the man’s secretary.

Zhao Ya’Er did not turn around to see who it was as she already knows who the person is just by his voice.

Seeing the look on her face, Yue Ling was quick to understand who the man is.

It was none other than Zhao Ya’Er’s abusive ex-boyfriend.

Hearing the sound of their footsteps headed towards them, Zhao Ya’Er was in a panic as she quickly reach for her bag and hat.

"I’m sorry, I have to leave."

Yue Ling remained calm and reach for her things too. Since Zhao Ya’Er wants to leave, she had no reason to stay too.

"I’ll go with you."

Seeing how understanding Yue Ling is, Zhao Ya’Er smiles thankfully and apologetically to her future sister-in-law. Yue Ling hadn’t even touched her food and yet, here they are already leaving.

"Why are you leaving so soon?"

Just when Zhao Ya’Er stood up and waited for Yue Ling, the man had already reached their table with the woman.

He grabs Zhao Ya’Er’s wrist and smiles to her with a fake smile full of affection.

"I just got here, let’s eat together."

Yue Ling put on her black wool coat when she hears the man. She grabs her bag and turn to look at him then the woman he came in with.

When the woman saw Yue Ling, her eyes widen in surprise and she gasp aloud.

"You’re that famous retired supermodel and De L’amour’s designer."

Hearing the woman’s words, the man finally turn his attention to Yue Ling. He had been so focused on Zhao Ya’Er that he ignored the other person.

However, seeing how perfect Yue Ling looked, his throat dried up and he licks his lip in a seductive way.

"Ya’Er, who is your friend here?"

He knew exactly who Yue Ling is, but he wanted a proper introduction since she is an acquaintance of his girlfriend.

Zhao Ya’Er tried to pull her hand away, but due to the difference in their strength, each time she tried, he would tighten his grip. Even when her wrist turned red, he didn’t care.

Knowing that he won’t let go until she introduce Yue Ling to him, she could only look at Yue Ling, who gives her a tiny smile to indicate that it was okay.

"She is my friend, Han Yue Ling. Yue Ling, this is Wei Hongyi."

She force out her words in an almost growl. From the look in his eyes, she could already see that he has taken an interest in Yue Ling.

It was the he has when found a new target.

However, she will never let this bastard near her sister-in-law.

Feeling his grip on her loosen, she takes the opportunity to pull her hand away from him. She reach to grab Yue Ling’s hand and strides away.

"We’re busy. If you want to eat, you can eat with your secretary."

"Y-You!"

Wei Hongyi’s eyes widen and his expression turned sinister. Before Zhao Ya’Er could grab Yue Ling’s hand, he reacted faster and blocks Yue Ling from being reachable.

His move cause him to bump into Yue Ling and made her stumble back a little.

If it had been anyone else, they would have tripped and fell, but not Yue Ling. She was able to steady herself from the fall, but her bluish green eyes dimmed darker than the night.

"Hongyi, move!"

Zhao Ya’Er angrily growls at him with glaring eyes. She didn’t care if she didn’t look ladylike at this moment. Once she saw that Yue Ling was about to fall, her heart dropped to her stomach.

If anything were to happen to her sister-in-law, God knows how her ruthless cousin would react.

Despite the tone of Zhao Ya’Er’s voice and her vicious glare, Wei Hongyi was not affected at all. He scoffs a snort and turn to look at Yue Ling.

"Miss Han, what do you think of joining me for lunch?"

Yue Ling looks at Zhao Ya’Er then to the man. She held her thoughts to herself before parting her lip to speak.

"Thank you, but I will have to decline."

Without waiting for the man to sound another word, she walks around him and grab Zhao Ya’Er’s hand.

"Let’s go somewhere else."

If it had been her, she would have ignored the scum and continue on with her lunch. However, she knows that Zhao Ya’Er is still afraid of him and wanted to leave right away.

Watching the two women leave, Wei Hongyi’s secretary sarcastically scoffs and turn to look at her boss. She approach him closely. She press her large breasts against him and smiles playfully.

"Mr. Wei, let’s ignore them and enjoy our lunch."

Wei Hongyi held a grim expression in the direction Yue Ling and Zhao Ya’Er were heading. Due to his bad temper, the blood inside him boiled intensely.

He push the woman away and turn to grab the half full glass that was on the two women’s table.

"Bitch, did I say you could leave?!"

Without any hesitation, he throws at Zhao Ya’Er. He will never forgive her for humiliating him in public.

Water splatter everywhere as it aims for its target. However, the minute it nears the back of Zhao Ya’Er’s head, she was suddenly pulled forward as Yue Ling’s figure turns around.

In a calm but swift motion, Yue Ling caught the now empty glass with one hand.

Her sudden move caught Wei Hongyi by surprise as it did the same to Zhao Ya’Er who is now shield by Yue Ling.

Wei Hongyi did not think that Yue Ling would catch the cup. She looked so fragile, yet the way she moved looked so natural, like she had eyes behind her head.

Not caring about the shock on the people’s face, Yue Ling looks at the man then to the glass cup in her hand.

Her expression held no emotion as she turns to the side and place the empty glass cup on a table.

"Mr. Wei, I am a well temper person, so I will give you an advice."

Looking back at the man, the corners of her lip arcs up in a pleasant smile. However, that smile did not reach her eyes.

"Fix that temper of yours before you cross the line of someone you shouldn’t have."

Turning to leave, she pause in her steps and softly chuckles in a mocking tone.

"Ah, one more thing. The only bitch here is you."
