Chapter 40

After Lin Qiqi left.

All those filthy, dark memories buried deep within my mind came flooding back.

My mother bringing home a different man every single day.

The later stepfather who would always leer at me with such a lecherous gaze…

I grabbed the drink she’d left behind and downed it in one go.

And that’s when I fell into her trap.

That glass of wine Li Qiu gave me had been spiked with something to knock me completely unconscious.

Before I lost consciousness.

I stumbled toward the stage where Shen Qi was still performing.

He was the only person I could trust, the only one I could reach out to.

Yet, when I woke up the next day, this boy I trusted.

Was lying in bed right next to me.

A mistake that was never mine to begin with had been forcibly pinned on me.

I didn’t even get a chance to explain.

Because, Jin Lan had ended up with someone else, too.
