Only after confirming that Su Peishan was alright did Du Muchen's tense heart finally settle down.

Su Peishan came to her senses and found herself nestled in Du Muchen's arms, her arms still tightly wrapped around his neck. She was immediately filled with anger and had an urge to disappear into the ground.

He took a big step back as if dodging a landmine.

Du Muchen did not show much emotion on his face, appearing calm and composed.

His hands, hanging by his sides, twitched slightly, his fingers still warm from touching her.

Suppressing his somewhat unstable emotions, Du Muchen shot a cold glance at Lan Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, is this the etiquette you learned in the Du family?"

Lan Xiaoxiao frowned, bit her lip, and looked aggrieved and unconvinced.

"Brother, I was afraid this woman would hurt you because she was so arrogant in front of you, so I..."

"Apologize!" Du Muchen did not hesitate for a moment because of Lan Xiaoxiao's grievance.

Lan Xiaoxiao stared wide-eyed in disbelief at Du Muchen for a while, then her gaze finally drifted to Su Peishan.

"Why should I apologize to a woman like that? She was so rude to you just now. As your sister, seeing my brother being questioned and harassed, wasn't it right for me to push her out of anger? She was clearly in the wrong first!"

Du Muchen's eyes grew even deeper, and he merely glanced at Lan Xiaoxiao indifferently.

"I don't want to repeat myself."

Lan Xiaoxiao clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with humiliation and anger.

Her gaze swept across Su Peishan's face and landed on Gu Jueye and Bai Qianmo's clasped hands, her jealousy flaring up completely.

Those two sluts, one bewitched the man she liked, and the other even seduced her own brother.

And even though I did nothing wrong, I have to apologize to this despicable person.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Lan Xiaoxiao bit her lip and remained silent, her face contorted with suppressed anger.

Uncle Da felt sorry for her and wanted to say something on Lan Xiaoxiao's behalf: "Young Master, look, Miss is almost crying. She's really worried about you, afraid that you'll be bullied by others..."

"Uncle Da, regarding the trouble you caused today, should I personally inform the old man and Aunt Lan, or should you go home and accept your punishment yourself?"

"Young Master, I was wrong!" Uncle Da silently took a step back.

Although Uncle Da watched Lan Xiaoxiao grow up, he knew in his heart that he was a member of the Du family, and the final ruler of the Du family would naturally be the son who carried the Du family bloodline. Even if Miss Xiaoxiao was very favored in the Du family, she could never compare with the young master.

Uncle Da wisely kept quiet, and Du Muchen turned his gaze back to Lan Xiaoxiao.

"I don't need to teach you what to say."

Lan Xiaoxiao took a deep breath. Even though she was filled with grievance and indignation, she knew that if she didn't get the money today, this matter would never be over.

When her brother threatened Uncle Da, he was actually giving her a warning.

The Du family has strict rules. If the things she did today get back to the Du family, the obedient girl image she has maintained in front of them over the years will be completely destroyed.

It's not worth taking such a big risk for two bastards.

Suppressing the humiliation in her heart, Lan Xiaoxiao looked sharply at Su Peishan.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have pushed you. I apologize for my mistake."

Su Peishan was somewhat bewildered.

In her mind, Du Muchen was the epitome of being sharp-tongued, cunning, and shameless.

Moreover, he was particularly good at acting cute, so in her heart, he was always that somewhat arrogant young man.

This was the first time in my life I had ever seen that brat lose his temper.

Cough cough! I don't want to admit it, but my hormones are off the charts!

Seeing Su Peishan staring at him intently, Du Muchen chuckled inwardly and snapped his fingers in front of her.

"Sister Su, Lan Xiaoxiao apologizes to you."

Su Peishan snapped out of her daze, blinked, and then glanced at Lan Xiaoxiao.

"I don't care about this fake apology. Little girl, don't be so arrogant in the future. There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. Don't always blame the wall for being solid when you hit it."

"You..." Lan Xiaoxiao felt a lump in her throat, unable to decide whether to go up or down.

I feel like I'm about to explode with anger.

Today is the most humiliating day of her 24 years.

"Brother, I'm a little tired, I'm going back to my room to rest." After saying this, Lan Xiaoxiao turned and left in a hurry.

As Lan Xiaoxiao was leaving, for some reason, she suddenly glanced at Bai Qianmo.

Bai Qianmo's heart jolted, and a red light flashed before her eyes.

Then, the image, so clear it resembled a movie scene, reappeared.

She saw a girl lying naked in the bathtub, blood dripping from her wrists. The water in the bathtub was stained red with blood, and the scene was horrifying.

When her gaze shifted to the girl's face, a pair of resentful eyes stared intently, as if she had encountered some terrifying event before her death, her entire face as pale as paper.

Upon seeing the deceased's face, Bai Qianmo felt a chill run down her spine, her scalp tingling.

Why did she see the scene of Lan Xiaoxiao being murdered?

Today at the racecourse, I saw horse number 3 suddenly startled and rushed into the audience area, which seemed to have come true. Could it be that Lan Xiaoxiao's death will also really happen?
