Shi Qian, the third young master of the Shi family, is a true embodiment of a femme fatale.
Meng Qing had only been living in the Shi family's house for two days when Shi Jingguo had to go on a business trip overseas for a month due to company matters.
As soon as Shi Jingguo left, Madam Shi moved Meng Qing, who was originally staying in the guest room, to the small attic on the top floor.
The attic was an abandoned storage room, filled with unwanted junk and covered in dust because no one had cleaned it for a long time.
The servants knew that Madam Shi disliked Meng Qing, and everyone acted according to their master's wishes, so they paid even less attention to Meng Qing's affairs.
There wasn't even a proper bed prepared for anyone. The attic only had a simple folding bed with a tattered air conditioning blanket thrown on it, and not even a pillow.
Because it had been raining for the past few days, the attic had a lingering damp and musty smell. The only small window in the attic had a loose frame, and it rattled loudly when the wind picked up.
These past few days it's been raining, and the window frame has been creaking and groaning all night long, like a drum set come to life.
The villa has heating everywhere except for this small attic. The temperature has dropped below 5 degrees Celsius these past few days, and the attic is already drafty with some water seeping from the corners.
With the noise from the window frames, the whole attic felt like a dilapidated refrigerator that hadn't been repaired for years.
Fortunately, there was no pigsty in the villa, otherwise Meng Qing had no doubt that Madam Shi would have arranged for him to be placed in the worst place.
Meng Qing moved from the guest room to the attic without any complaints, knowing he was an uninvited guest.
It's understandable that the lady of the house doesn't like him; even he himself doesn't know why Shi Jingguo brought him home.
But he had no other choice at the time.
He was so grateful to Mr. Shi that he could tolerate any dissatisfaction Mrs. Shi might have towards him.
The eldest and second sons of the Shi family were often away from home, so the person he spent the most time with was the sickly third young master of the Shi family.
The third young master of the Shi family has a difficult personality to get along with. When he returned home, he found a dirty boy he had picked up from who-knows-where.
Actually, Meng Qing wasn't dirty; she was just tanned.
In short, the third young master of the Shi family disliked Meng Qing in every way, so he tried all sorts of ways to torment him.
The third young master of the Shi family is in poor health, but his cunning mind is incredibly sharp.
A few days after Meng Qing moved to the attic, the third young master of the Shi family returned from the hospital, made him a glass of water with something added to it, found a young master at a club, and squeezed himself into the small wardrobe, wanting to record Meng Qing's pitiful state of being dominated by desire.
In her previous life, Meng Qing was completely unprepared and was left with an unspeakable video recording.
The third young master of the Shi family not only posted the video to his family group, but also uploaded it to the school forum of the school that Meng Qing had transferred to, making Meng Qing an instant laughing stock.
Illegitimate child, country bumpkin, ugly monster, pervert, and so on—these kinds of words kept coming out, and Meng Qing was completely isolated at school.
This was just the beginning. What followed was nothing short of the actions of the young master of the Shi family, who acted like a madman who couldn't have the love he wanted. He was either dancing on the edge of the law or repeatedly rubbing against the bottom line of morality.
Thanks to the inseparable cousin of the young master of the Shi family, who stood up for Meng Qing every time she was bullied, Meng Qing was able to catch her breath and find comfort. This person also became Meng Qing's white moonlight.
Not long after, Meng Qing was found by the Meng family in the capital. Only then did everyone realize that Meng Qing was the eldest son of the Meng family. Meng Qing's mind had been twisted beyond recognition by endless torment.
After returning to the Meng family, he began to take revenge on those who had bullied him in the past. The third young master of the Shi family, who was good at courting death, was especially tormented by Meng Qing, and in the end, he was made to wish he were dead.
After resolving everyone's problems, Meng Qing finally settled down happily with the only person who had helped him during his difficult time—his cousin, the young master of the Shi family.
The dream was too absurd, yet it felt terrifyingly real, mirroring Meng Qing's past life. Meng Qing dared not fully believe it, nor dared she disbelieve it.
When he came to his senses, he looked at the person kneeling in front of him, and then looked around and saw the glass of water on the table that was probably drugged, as well as the phone that was still recording. Meng Qing's expression turned cold.
It matches the dream perfectly. This young master of the Shi family is here today to humiliate him.
Meng Qing unconsciously tightened his grip on the doorknob. He really wanted to pick up the person on the ground and beat him up to vent his anger.
But nothing has happened yet, so he can't do that.
Meng Qing decided to play along and see how things unfolded.
At this moment, Shi Qian was still groaning in pain on the ground. His mind was a mess, as if a large amount of memories had been forcibly stuffed into his brain.
As soon as he fell, it was as if all the memories in his mind had been sucked out, leaving him completely empty, with only the pain in his knee shooting straight to his brain.
He felt as if his knees were shattered and he couldn't stand up.
When I tried to get up, my back seemed to have twisted.
Shi Qian wanted to cry but had no tears, and cursed her own fragile body in her heart.
As Shi Qian kept shifting back and forth in small movements, his nose twitching, and his eyes reddening, he finally noticed something in front of him.
He was so frightened that he leaned back sharply, but the pain in his knees made him pull back abruptly, and Shi Qian's face turned pale instantly.
By the time he finally realized that what was in front of him was just a shadow, he was already terrified out of his wits.
Meng Qing stood quietly at the door, watching the handsome young master's inexplicable actions. The word "idiot" suddenly came to mind.
But he quickly dismissed the idea. This man in front of him had tormented him terribly in his previous life, and he was not to be underestimated.
Shi Qian finally deduced from the shadow on the ground that there should be a person standing in front of her. She raised her head blankly, and her big, innocent, wet eyes met a pair of indifferent eyes.
Shi Qian stared at him intently and couldn't help but exclaim: What a handsome man.
Although the man in front of me was a bit dark-skinned, it couldn't hide his handsome features. His sharp lines, coupled with his disdainful look as if he were looking at a dog, and his estimated height of 187 cm, made him perfect.
Shi Qian unconsciously swallowed.
Meng Qing saw everything. He tried his best to see something in Shi Qian's eyes, such as scheming, conspiracy, disgust, or disdain...
But he seemed to see something else, like infatuation... wait... no... and silliness.
...
Meng Qing became even more silent; he was somewhat confused.
"Handsome guy...bro...give me a hand, help me up."
Shi Qian was unaware of Meng Qing's psychological changes, but finally realized that his current kneeling posture was somewhat inappropriate.
But he really couldn't stand up on his own right now, so he had to ask for help from the person in front of him.
Meng Qing paused, as if making a difficult decision, before finally stepping forward and extending her hand.
"Thanks..."
Shi Qian just put his hand on the other person, trying to use it to stand up, but his sprained waist pulled him down again, and he was about to kneel down again.
At that moment, a hand stepped forward and gently wrapped around his waist.
