Luo An trusted Zhou An'an because of that certificate, although perhaps there was also an element of emotion involved, but in any case, it ultimately gave Zhou An'an convenience.
Taking advantage of Luo An's affair with Zhou Duoduo, she transferred most of the property that Luo An had seized from the Xiao family to other places.
By the time Luo An realized what was happening, it was too late. Zhou An'an didn't care whether she and Luo An were married or not, and eloped with another man.
The man wasn't particularly handsome; in fact, one could even say he was somewhat ugly. But his honest and simple nature, inherited from someone unknown, always evoked a sense of goodwill. Zhou An'an recognized this quality, which is why he dared to accept the Xiao family's assets in his name—after all, only someone like him would be truly loyal.
When Luo An learned of all this, he was furious and blamed everything on Zhou Duoduo. If Zhou Duoduo hadn't insisted on seducing him, how could he have ended up so penniless?
He hated Zhou An'an even more. If Zhou An'an hadn't deliberately kept him hanging on, making him think about how to get rid of Xiao Wanwan, he might have lived happily with Xiao Wanwan. How could a well-bred lady like her, who only had eyes for him and was always so obedient, have caused so much trouble?
Seeing the similarity between Zhou Duoduo and Zhou An'an, he felt no pity for her at this moment, and instead kicked her hard a few times.
Zhou Duoduo screamed in pain, utterly surprised that the usually gentle and refined man could turn so violent and ruthless. Of course, she had never known this person before, so how could she possibly know what he was like?
"Luo An! Why are you taking your anger out on me? If you're so capable, go find Zhou An'an! What else can you do besides trying to get attention from me? Are you even a man?!" Treated like this by Luo An, Zhou Duoduo also revealed her shrewish side, grabbing whatever was at hand and starting a fight with Luo An.
Snakes have seven inches, and people have painful feet.
For someone like Luo An, who has neither much ability nor a strong sense of self-esteem, Zhou Duoduo's words really stirred up a hornet's nest.
Luo An's eyes began to redden. He recalled how he had groveled before Old Master Xiao in order to scheme for the Xiao family's wealth over the past few years, and how he had been subservient to Xiao Wanwan in the past... Although most of the time it was those women who fawned over him, he still felt that he had been insulted.
How could those women possibly like him or truly understand him? They were just showing him charity out of pity.
He looked at the fruit knife on the coffee table and, without thinking, threw it at Zhou Duoduo.
"Ah!" A scream came from the living room, and then there was no more sound.
The entire winter break has come to a close in a grand drama, but the drama continues, and the break is almost over.
A gentle southern breeze carried the damp saltiness of the ocean. Lu Qingyan squinted, drew back the curtains, and walked toward the beach.
She didn't go back to be with Xia Junyue during the Spring Festival. Instead, Xia Junyue would call her every few days to ask what she was doing and when she was going back.
At this point, she would always give vague excuses and try her best to postpone going home.
Lu Qingyan spends most of her time indoors, snuggling with her blanket, and the rest of her time strolling on the beach. She thinks that with her current skin tone, perhaps no one will recognize her when she goes back.
The people here are very friendly. She had only been out for a short while when she ran into a man who greeted her.
"Is this your first time at the beach, miss?"
