After reaching the mansion, Chang Bingwen went to his room and got freshened up. He went to his study as he needed to deal with his new company which is going to open in a week in Country X.

    When it turned night only then he came out of the study.

    He heard from his servants that Xia didn''t go out today also. It is the fourth day since he left her alone but she still didn''t make any move from her side.

    He is confused at her actions now.

    Is she afraid of meeting that man?

    Or Did she knew that he found the truth about her?

    But whatever her thoughts he will know them soon.

    Chang Bingwen went to the dining room. He sent a servant to call Xia Heru to have dinner along with him.

    Xia Heru came reached the dining hall along with the servant. She sat in front of Chang Bingwen.

    He dismissed the servants after their food is served.

    Xia Heru felt something amiss in the room. She doesn''t know what is going on in his mind. For a second she got scared. But she quickly masked her nervousness with a smile.

    She raised her head to look at him. She saw him eating silently. With one look she can say he is taught well by looking at his table manners.

    She suddenly found him looking handsome.

    She couldn''t even hear his chewing sound. The way he held his chopsticks and the way he ate she felt awed.

    She does not know why but she is finding him looking handsome now.

    Suddenly she snapped out from her thoughts. She felt disgusted for thinking he looked handsome.

    Only ''he'' is handsome in her eyes.

    But she didn''t realize that she is staring at him without breaking away her gaze.

    Suddenly she saw Chang Bingwen looking up at her and made eye contact with her.

    "Do you need anything?" He asked her.

    "No, but why did you dismiss the servants?" She asked after she replied to him.

    "Nothing, I''m just curious why do you hate President San. I thought of asking this question. But it won''t be proper if I ask you this in front of the servants. Right?" he said while looking into her eyes.

    "It''s....." She didn''t know what to say. She stunned at his sudden question. She couldn''t find any words.

    It''s because she is jealous of her. A mere orphan is having a great life while she is confined in Country H.

    If she didn''t attract Ho Joon Jae during their college days she wouldn''t have to lure Han Shuya towards Ho Joon Jae. Because of that, her father kicked her out of Country A and made her stay in the Country H.

    She tried many ways to escape from this country but they are all futile. Her father didn''t let her leave.

    She faced a lot of hardsh.i.p.s.

    She kept updated herself about Yan Shu. She got hold of every single news about Yan Shu. Whenever she saw an article praising Yan Shu, her blood boiled. She felt jealous of her.

    Her jealousy increased at her.

    Gradually her jealousy turned to hatred.

    She used to think of many ways as much as possible to destroy San Yan Shu.

    When she heard that she is an adopted daughter of San family she felt devastated.

    Her devastation turned as anger that too unbearable anger.

    And when she heard her title as She is the whole and sole CEO of SYS Holdings she is angered to the death.

    She doesn''t want Yan Shu to have a good life.

    But what does Yan Shu''s life has to do with Xia Heru?

    Xia Heru likes Ho Joon Jae but he is not together with Yan Shu.

    Yan Shu is with Chen Mu Sheng.

    She had to feel happy and try pursuing Jo Joon Jae.

    If she is failed, something is wrong with her.

    It has nothing to do with Yan Shu.

    Then why does she need to harbor ill intentions?

    Does she really hate Yan Shu due to him?

    If it is yes, then she is a fool.

    But in the truth, she doesn''t hate Yan Shu because of Ho Join Jae.

    She hates her because she is more outstanding than her.

    When they are in college the whole spotlight is on Yan Shu. Now after she came out of the college the whole world spotlight is on Yan Shu. Again!!

    Xia Heru wants all the attention to her only. But she didn''t realize that one should not go after attention it should come after her. If one did something then they will get their

    recognition and the whole world''s attention will be placed on them.

    Yan Shu had attention from the whole world because she worked hard.

    But what did Xia Heru did to get attention, fame or recognition?

    She did nothing. One cannot get things without working hard. If she doesn''t work hard she will not get results.

    When Xia Heru went to banquets or gatherings she used to hear about Yan Shu. achievements.

    Well, after all, she used to go to business banquets, when someone gets the topic of successful businesswoman Yan Shu used to come. They used to praise Yan Shu in front of Xia Heru.

    Xia Heru didn''t like that. She wanted them to praise her, worship her and beg her.

    But she didn''t get them that much as she expected. She got them a little that to because everyone believed that she is the future Madam Chang.

    Even when Yan Shu is absent everyone would sing praises for her.

    But she tolerated everything to destroy her one day.

    That''s why she tamed Chang Bingwen. She blackmailed one of her friends to get into the birthday party of Chang Bingwen''s Mother.

    That day she tripped on him ''accidentally '' and ruined his suit. At that time everyone scolded her for being reckless and clumsy. She apologized to everyone at that time who is present there but no one backed down and lashed her out continuously.

    Tears streamed down from her cheeks. She hung her head low and tried to fight with her tears. She tried to leave but no one allowed her to leave.

    Seeing her in that miserable state Chang Bingwen felt bad, he stood up for her and took her out of the venue and called a taxi for her to go home.

    The next day she sent an Ermenegildo Zegna Bespoke suit to him.

    It is said that it costs more than twenty thousand dollars. These types of suits are luxurious and refined bespoke was created by the fourth generation of the Zegna family. It is individually fitted and reportedly made up of over 700 fabrics.

    He found it amusing. He saw her in a different light. This way she caught his attention. They used to bump into each other ''coincidentally'' many times in many places. After that, they became friends and started dating. It all happened in three years.

    When she thought he will do anything for her she started her plans. But what did she get at the end nothing it proved that Chang Bingwen is useless.

    Now what she has to say to that man. This person is useless. He can''t even deal with a woman.

    Meanwhile

    Chang Bingwen saw every expression on Xia Heru''s face. Her expression changed every second. She didn''t notice that her every movement is watched by Chang Bingwen.

    Chang Bingwen saw her each and every movement. He saw anger that too pure anger which is filled with jealousy, hatred, and disgust.

    He knew her true self but never saw it with his eyes. He saw her true self.

    He saw her clutching her chopsticks tightly. Her hands turned white due to her strong grip.

    There is a long silence between them after he asked the question. She didn''t lift her head from the movement he asked her that question.

    How can she say to him that she did everything to her due to pure jealousy that she possessed towards her?

    A long silence followed. Seconds passed but no words came out of her mouth. Those seconds became minutes but still, no words came. Chang Bingwen is still waiting for her reply.

    Suddenly they both are snapped out from their reverie when they heard the sound of breaking wood.

    Chang Bingwen and Xia Heru turned their gaze towards her hand.

    Then only they both understood that she excreted a lot of pressure on the chopsticks.

    A small stubble of the broken part of the wood prickled into her finger. A small drop of blood dropped. But Chang Bingwen acted as if he didn''t see it.

    He cleared his throat loudly and directly stared into her eyes.

    "Do you hate her that much or is it that difficult to answer my question?" Chang Bingwen asked.

    He took a new pair of chopsticks and passed them to her.

    Xia Heru tried to see his emotions.  But she found nothing there is a blank expression on his face.

    She wondered why he is asking suddenly. But she couldn''t ask him again after he said he is asking just because of curiosity.

    She raised her head as she met his deep gaze and shook her head.

    She took the new pair of chopsticks from him. While taking the chopsticks she deliberately tried to show her wound but her attempts are futile. He didn''t see it. She felt disappointed but she didn''t try to show it anymore.

    "Because of her, I was banned from Fengshan University. And my father felt humiliated. So he sent me to this country. I can''t even go to Country A. It''s been nearly six years but I haven''t stepped my foot in that country. I miss my parents." She said as she faked a sad expression.

    Chang Bingwen fought with his strong urge to sneer at her words loudly. He knew the truth but he still asked her.
