Of the three daughters of the Hu family, only the eldest and the second were born from the same mother, while Hu Xiaoxiao was born from another mother, so in the eyes of others, her mother was a mistress, and she was also an illegitimate daughter.

She had been cursed as an illegitimate daughter from birth to adulthood, and although they had brought her and her mother back to the Hu family, their status was far inferior.

If it wasn't for this, her mother wouldn't have taken the path of no return, so she hated them. If it wasn't for them, her mother wouldn't have died.

She only hated the Hu family and didn't have any kinship with them. The reason why she stepped into this house again was to take back what her mother had obtained.

If it hadn't been for the old man's demands, she wouldn't have returned to the Hu family and attended today's banquet, but the truth was that they had treated her as a pawn from beginning to end.

Hu family's actions would definitely cause Hu Xiaoxiao harm. Lin Yanluo, who did not see her figure, was very worried. She was anxious to find his figure.

In her panic, she knocked down a familiar figure. She lowered her head and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Just as she looked up, her expression suddenly froze. She scratched her back, not knowing what to do. "I was in a hurry to find my friend. I'm sorry."

"It's okay. Did you find her?"

Seeing her reckless behavior just now, Ling Yechen couldn't help but ask with concern.

Looking into his cold and concerned eyes, Lin Yanluo felt very uncomfortable. What was wrong with Ling Yechen now? Why would he care about her all of a sudden?

Maybe it was because he felt guilty towards her! She couldn't think too much about it. She forced a smile and said, "No, if there's nothing else, I'll go find my friend first."

Seeing that he did not say anything, Lin Yanluo turned around and left. At this moment, he suddenly said, "Why don't I help you find it? One more person means more power."

"Ah!"

Lin Yanluo was shocked by his inexplicable kindness. Was this still the Ling Yechen who hated her?

Whether he was sincere or not, Lin Yanluo rejected him without any hesitation. "No need, I can do it alone. Besides, this is her home. She's probably just in a bad mood and hiding."

Although her rejection made him feel very sad, he still forcefully endured his disappointment. He grabbed her hand and ordered domineeringly, "Lead the way."

The sudden overbearingness made Lin Yanluo's heart skip a beat. What was going on? Didn't she say that she didn't need his help? What did he mean?

Lin Yanluo looked around at the people around her with an aggrieved expression. They were all extremely surprised, staring at the two of them as if they were the protagonists of today's banquet.

Lin Yanxi, who had just entered, happened to see this scene. She bit her lips in anger and kept pulling hard on her bag. Her heart was filled with anger and doubt.

"She, why is Lin Yanluo here? No matter where she goes, she is really like a ghost that won't leave."

In the past, when she appeared, she would always be the most dazzling female lead at the banquet. However, no one went to see her today.

Everyone's attention was on her, Lin Yanluo. She was not willing to accept the fact that she could not win against her, no matter if it was before or now.

Men were men, images were images, relatives were family, and why was it that everyone in the world liked her, Lin Yanluo, and she was always known as a bad woman? Why, God was so unfair to her.

Lin Yanluo, don't blame me for being too ruthless. Only then can I truly destroy you.

Lin Yanluo, who was looking for Hu Xiaoxiao together, felt very uncomfortable. The two of them were very quiet and did not speak. The air was very oppressive. If she had known earlier, she would have just run away. She would not have been so embarrassed.

Worried about her, Lin Yanluo did not stay silent all the time. Instead, she searched the first floor, room by room.

But just as she was about to die, she finally found Hu Xiaoxiao in a small room with a closed door. She was sitting on the bed, holding something in her arms and crying.

When she came to her side, she realized that this was not a doll or a doll, but a photo album of her dead mother.

Lin Yanluo's heart ached when she saw this. She hugged her body and kept patting her to comfort her, "It's fine, it's fine. I'm here."

Hu Xiaoxiao, who was holding her, kept crying and saying, "Yanluo, why are they like this? They've already killed my mother. Are they going to force me to die?"

Lin Yanluo knew that no one in the Hu family was human, but she didn't expect it to be this excessive. She still remembered when she was in prison.

If she hadn't met her, she really couldn't imagine what would have happened to Hu Xiaoxiao, and if she would have been able to walk out of that prison alive.

In prison, they would have been tortured to death if it hadn't been for the fact that they clung to each other and believed in each other. They wouldn't have lain in bed with each other and wept.

Ling Yechen, who was standing outside the door, felt a sharp pain when he saw this scene. His eyebrows raised slightly, and his eyes were filled with confusion.
