Can't Let Go

What? Are You Addicted to Beating Me?

　　"For God‘s sake, I just can‘t believe you‘ve come to Austral City stealthily!"

　　In the ward, Mary Yun took her sunglasses off for Aunt Wang was not here.

　　Patricia Bai locked the door up, and took some steps ahead, while her voice was quivering, " Mary..."

　　Mary Yun turned around and looked at her with a poker face, "What do you come here for? For living one more minute?"

　　Linda Yun came forward, protected her mother behind her and glared at Mary, "Shut up!"

　　Mary Yun sneered and shrugged her shoulders for she just felt funny about this scene.

　　"Linda Yun, you seem to have a poor memory. I see, you have forgotten Dad‘s orders?"

　　"Mary..." Patricia Bai was about to cry.

　　She just couldn‘t get it why Mary was always mean to them.

　　Mary Yun didn‘t pay any attention to Patricia Bai ‘s sad expression. She looked out of the window and uttered in a naughty voice, "My dad ordered you to get your ass outta here and never appear in Austral City again, otherwise..."

　　She paused and then turned to them, deriding, "You‘re gonna die tragically!"

　　"Mary, please don‘t tell him about it. We are leaving right away, right away..." Patricia Bai dashed to the closet as she was begging her. She started to pack the luggage and pleaded, "Don‘t tell you dad, we are leaving!"

　　She was pretty aware of James Yun‘s bad temper. If he was raging, he would just be ultimately merciless.

　　Linda Yun walked straight to her mother without saying a word.

　　Linda Yun raised one eyebrow, curved her lips and showed a contented expression.

　　"Why should we leave?" Linda Yun held her mom‘s hands and glared coldly right at Mary Yun.

　　Mary Yun frowned, and snorted, "Yo, so you are waging a war against dad?"

　　"Mary, don‘t take it seriously. We are leaving right away, right away..."

　　"Just go ahead!" Linda Yun gazed into her eyes and chuckled, "He wants me dead, just go head. I wanna see how things are going."

　　Mom was suffering this incurable disease. They had sold their house.

　　How could she be more miserable?

　　Now that she couldn‘t prevent it from happening, she would just take all her guts up to face it.

　　She, Linda Yun, was never a coward!

　　"Well, well, well." Mary Yun clapped her hands, then she jeered at her, "What a wild horse, nice speech!"

　　"Mary..."

　　"Shut up!" Mary Yun squinted at Patricia Bai and heaped scorns on her, "Are you entitled to call my name? Do you have any idea about who you are?"

　　Instantly, Patricia Bai looked so deeply hurt by her words that she didn‘t say a single word anymore.

　　"Mom, don‘t listen to her... Linda Yun held her mother‘s shoulders and consoled her, "That‘s right, your name is reserved for bastards to call."

　　Mary Yun was so stuck that her face twitched. Then she just held her hand up high in an attempt to slap her sister in her face mercilessly.

　　However, before her hand landed on that face, Linda Yun clutched her wrists tightly, and sneered, "What? Are you addicted to beating me??"

　　Mary Yun had borrowed money from James Yun for three times in total these years.

　　For the first time, Mary Yun was waiting for James Yun at the staircase. When he walked down from the stairs, Mary Yun pretended to fall and made her to be the one to blame.

　　She was slapped by Mary Yun twice on the face for 20 thousand yuan that night.

　　As for the second time, she played the old tricks again, but the witness was her brother.

　　The price was also being slapped twice by her in the face.

　　Her face was beaten to swell and her lips started to bleed a little bit.

　　"I just hate you for having the same face as me."

　　How could the bully say these cruel words to her?

　　So she was trying to repeat it again?

　　Mary Yun quickly drew her hand, sneering, "Yo, now you have got the money and just dare to speak like this?" Then she rolled her eyes and continued, "Why aren‘t you just aware how you got the money? You were just trading..."

　　"Mary Yun!" Linda Yun pulled a long face, came closer to her and whispered, "Are you really gonna tell it here? Aren‘t you afraid of hitting the headline on tomorrow‘s newspaper?"

　　Mary Yun was completely astounded and looked at her with her eyes wide open.

　　"You are threatening me?"

　　"I was just giving you a warning. You need to consider other people‘s feelings. More importantly, she‘s your mother!" Linda Yun‘s voice turned extremely cold.

　　Mary Yun gazed at her with a twisted and horrible expression. Then, a revengeful glint flashed in her eyes.

　　"Just wait and see. You‘re dead meat !"

　　It was 7：00 p.m..

　　President Office of GEG Group.

　　"Mr Huo, here is her personal information. Her name is Linda Yun, an identical twin sister of Mary Yun" With it, Joe Guo handed some portfolios to Michael Huo.

　　"I see." The man just responded faintly he didn‘t seem to be very surprised and was still busy with his work.

　　On seeing that, Joe Guo stepped out of the room and closed the door.

　　After signing on the last page of the contract, he put his pen down.

　　Then he took the portfolio, opened it and skimmed through.

　　Linda Yun was 20 years old, she went to Lin Yue College in Phoenix City.

　　She and Mary Yun were identical twins, born of James Yun and his ex－wife Patricia Bai .

　　But they soon got divorced for Patricia Bai had an affair. His ex－wife didn‘t gain any divorce compensation and then moved to Phoenix City with her fancy man.

　　Raised up by this kind of family, Mary Yun was lack of manners ever since she was little. What was more, she was greedy and dishonest. She stole things and even aborted twice when she was in middle school. Her private life was just all messed up.

　　Playing innocent, timid, kind, and coy had been her favorite trick.

　　While Patricia Bai got gastric cancer last year and was abandoned by her lover.

　　Their lives became extremely hard after that. Helped by Mary Yun, Patricia Bai finally got the chance to have medical treatment.

　　But as for Linda Yun, she was caught grabbing another woman‘s husband in Phoenix City half a year earlier so she had to sold the apartment and move to Austral City with her mother.

　　After reading this, the man frowned for a few minutes.

　　Then he just tossed these files into a dustbin.

　　In the Yun‘s mansion.

　　"What?" Mary Yun came to Gu Liangchen right away as she stepped into the room, "Mom, are you saying that he made an investigation on Linda Yun‘s identity?"

　　"Yeah, he might have met her, otherwise he couldn‘t have done that." A cup of coffee in hand, Gu Liangchen said calmly.

　　After hearing this, Mary Yun was worried and said anxiouly, "Actually he did come to hospital frequently these days. He must have met that b***h in the hospital. Mom, what should I do? What if he‘s taken interest in her and finds out the truth?"

　　Gu Liangqin put her coffee cup down, staring at her, "Mary, how many times do I have to repeat this? Do not panic in adversity! You were born to be rich and privileged, so don‘t fret and stay calm!"

　　"But... I..."

　　"She is much better than you at this!" Gu Liangchen interrupted.

　　Of course, You Na knew who she mentioned, so she pouted, "I‘m just worried. You see, the engagement party will be held in just two days. What if something unexpected happens... then..."

　　"It takes us a lot to get you engaged with him, and I‘ve covered everything." Gu Lingchen rubbed her head and convinced her, "You can rest assured that he won‘t be spotting anything else for I‘ve fabricated false information and materials on her mother and her."

　　"Well," Mary Yun was a little bit confused, "Mommy, you fabricated them?"

　　"I knew she couldn‘t obey your Dad‘s order to stay in Tung Cheng. Now that she doesn‘t behave, I‘ll let this bad girl go to hell!"

　　The fire of revenge glittering in her eyes, Gu uplifted the corner of her mouth for everything was in her control.

　　"Thanks, mommy, you‘re the best!" Mary Yun hugged her tightly and pouted.

　　She did hate Linda Yun.

　　She did not like someone else having the same face as hers.

　　She hated it more that Mary Yun didn‘t present any humble manner. On the contrary, she had a sense of decency and calmness though she was raised up in a small town.

　　This was the reason why Gu Liangchen said she was always anxious and her sister was much better than her in this aspect.

　　"Well, by the way, where is my Dad?" Mary Yun stood up, looked around but caught no glimpse of James Yun.

　　"You Dad must have gone to the hospital." Gu Liangchen smiled and took a sip of the coffee.

　　"What? he‘s at the hospital? Why didn‘t you come with him? What if he sees that woman... and feels pitiful for her?"

　　The woman she referred to was her long hated birth mother.

　　"Ah hah," Gu chuckled, and said with assurance, "I guess... your Dad is much more disgusted with her than you!"

　　"Why?" Mary Yun just didn‘t get it.

　　She didn‘t like Patricia Bai for she was not raised by her and she was not familiar with this mother.

　　But why would dad hate her guts now that they had been married for a couple of years?

　　"Well, this is none of your business. Now go put on a face mask. You are picking out a dress tomorrow and getting engaged the day after tomorrow! As the future Mrs. Huo, you need to present your best condition."

　　"Thanks, mom!" Mary Yun kissed her on the cheek, giggling, and went up stairs.

　　"Well, well, well," Gu Liangchen snorted, raised her eyebrows and murmured, "Patricia Bai , I‘ll always win!"

　　It was 3 a.m. in the morning.

　　"Bang!" The bedroom door was kicked open.

　　"Mary Yun!" A furious voice thundered.

　　Then all lights in the room were switched on.

　　Mary Yun was woken out of her dreams, she rubbed her eyes and saw her Dad was right beside her bed. She frowned and mumbled, "Dad..".

　　"Bang!" A stinging slap directly fell on her face.

　　Mary Yun was completely muddled. She covered her beaten face with her hands subconciously and was petrified by this sudden slap.

　　"My darling. don‘t be mad, let‘s sit down and talk." Gu Liangchen dragged James Yun‘s sleeves and tried to calm him down.

　　"Dad, why did you beat me? I didn‘t do nothing wrong!" Mary Yun, who had never been beaten since her childhood, then came to herself and grilled her father for the reason madly.

　　"Look what you have done!" James Yun threw photos on her face and paced angrily back and forth in the room.

　　Mary Yun looked down at these photos, on which she was having s*x and posing some erotic gestures with a male model.

　　She was stunned.

　　"How... how could this be?" Mary Yun‘s hands shook wildly. "Is this his revenge on me for I hung up his phone early on?"

　　"Your s*x video is on the Internet right now. Look what you have done!"

　　"Honey, Don‘t be mad, She‘s till a little girl..."

　　"She is already 20!"

　　"Dad..." Mary Yun looked up at him, crawled down from bed and knelt down before him, weeping, "Help me, Dad, help me..."

　　"Who‘s gonna help you?"

　　"Dad, its my fault. I know I‘m wrong. Please help me..."

　　"Darling, what should we do? If Huo‘s family knows about it, then the engagement..."

　　Gu Liangchen cast a stern glance at Mary Yun－－what a dumb doll!

　　"No! I don‘t wanna leave him! Dad, save me! Save me!" Mary Yun desperately clutched the hem of her Dad‘s shirt and cried out loudly, "Please, please..."

　　He turned a sharp eye on his daughter, and roared, "Get the f**k up, we‘ll hold a news conference in four hours!"

　　It was 7：00 a.m.

　　James Yun was holding his press conference in Star Hotel.

　　The whole Austral City saw these photos and video last midnight.

　　All reporters present at the site were full of curiosity to see how Yun‘s family was gonna respond to this.

　　And was Huo‘s family about to break this engagement?

　　"Please calm down!" James Yun stood at stage center, holding a microphone.

　　"Mr. Yun, was it really your daughter in the s*x tape?"

　　"Mr. Yun, did the Huo‘s contact you?"

　　"Mr. Yun, what about the engagement party? Will it continue as usual tomorrow?"

　　Questions were shot toward them mercilessly like bullets.

　　"Mary Yun, I never imagined you could be this coquettish before watching this video." A male reporter laughed.

　　"Watch your language okay?" Gu Liangchen stood up immediately, "My Mary is by no means this kind of girl!"

　　"Not that kind of girl? The heroine in that tape is her!" That reporter replied defiantly.

　　"Hmm, hmm, hmm..." Although Mary Yun was weeping, she still looked pretty before the camera.

　　"Please calm down! We don‘t deny the fact that it is indeed my daughter in that tape!" James Yun claimed loudly.

　　The entire room became silent.

　　Had he admitted that?

　　They had expected that James Yun might make a bunch of excuses.

　　Like they were just PS, or it was merely someone who looked like Mary. But it never occurred to them that he just admitted it.

　　"I admit it is my daughter but its not Mary." James Yun told these reporters again.

　　"Mr. Yun, what do you mean by it is your daughter but it is not Mary Yun?"

　　James Yun coughed and then moved his lips coldly, "Now get yourself on the stage!"

　　The audience frowned in confusion.

　　In an instant, a girl walked out from the side door.

　　She was wearing dramatic smoky eyes makeup and designer clothes and walked straight to the stage center with a poker face.

　　Everyone except Yun‘s family gasped in disbelief all of a sudden.

　　If, if this was Mary Yun,

　　then who was the girl on the stage?

　　Yun Zhidong picked up his microphone and announced, "This is the other daughter of mine－－Linda Yun－－Mary‘s twin sister, exactly the girl in that s*x tape!"

　　"What?"

　　All of these reporters were stunned.

　　A man was holding his cellphone to record all of this for his webcast.

　　On the other end of the broadcast were all the Weibo users.

　　In the office, Michael Huo was tapping his fingers lightly on the table.

　　His eyes were fixed on that maiden on the stage through the computer screen.

　　She had never uttered a word since she stepped onto the stage. Her eyes showed no emotions on her poker face.

　　"She was greedy and dishonest. She stole things and even aborted twice when she was in middle school. Her private life was just all messed up."

　　She had gone through too many things, hadn‘t she?

　　Two hours.

　　During these entire two hours, Mary Yun was overwhelmed by countless sarcastic questions.

　　"It‘s me" were the mere two words that she replied to the media from start to finish.

　　In a split second, she d a sensation on Weibo.

　　Thousands of comments emerged in her account that cursed her and shouted that she should get away from Austral City.

　　"May I leave?" She looked at her watch. It had been two hours, her mom would be worried if she didn‘t return to the hospital.

　　James Yun suddenly came up and slapped her hard in the face in front of the media.

　　This was really overwhelming.

　　Lots of reporters under the stage were dumbfounded.

　　Linda Yun lowered her head, then she smiled and stood upright to stare at this so－call father.

　　James Yun looked her in that pair of dark and emotionless eyes. Then he felt sorry for her out of a sudden.

　　She gazed at him and then chuckled. She appeared somewhat pitiful.

　　"Never forget your promise!" In a moment, she moved her lips with such a low volume that only her father could hear.

　　Then she turned around and left the stage through the same door she entered.

　　It was raining outside.

　　The sullen sky was a perfect embodiment of her gloomy mood.

　　She stood on the street, and looked up to the sky, clutching her shirt hem tightly and quivering.

　　"If you want her to have further treatment, you gotta clean up your sister‘s mess!"

　　"If you refuse me, do you really think you could stay in Austral City for one more second?"

　　"Do you think she will listen to you or obey my orders to get back to Phoenix City?"

　　Yeah, he knew Patricia Bai . andhe was sure that she would never fight against him.

　　He also knew Linda Yun well that she would always care for her mother.

　　Whatsoever. It was just a ruined reputation.

　　As long as mom had her surgery next Monday, they would leave immediately.

　　And everything would terminate forever.

　　"It‘s her, it‘s her. That b***h!"

　　Suddenly, three or four girls rushed out of nowhere, dashed straight to her and pushed her onto the ground.

　　"How could you be this shameless? Hooking up with men while making our Mary suffers everything?"

　　"Yeah, b***h, you‘re gonna die!"

　　"How can Mary have a mean sister like you?"

　　These four girls pressed her on the ground and started to pull her hair and clothes.

　　As if she was an unforgivable sinner.

　　Linda Yun did not fight back. She just lay on the ground and let them beat her.

　　"Have you ever regarded me as your daughter even for once?"

　　She just couldn‘t get the reason why he couldn‘t be nice to her.

　　She was not a statue.

　　She was made up of blood, flesh and emotions.

　　That was her birth father...

　　Why did he have to treat her like this?

　　It hurt.

　　Her heart hurt badly...

　　Suddenly, punches and rain s stopped falling down on her.

　　These four girls were all stunned when they looked up.

　　The man was in a black coat, with a black umbrella in hand. He looked piercingly cold and prominent, whose slender figure gave out a sedate and domineering temperament.

　　Huo...

　　Michael Huo?

　　"Get out of here!"

　　The four girls ran away immediately.

　　Joe Guo squatted on the ground and held the umbrella for her, "Are you alright?"

　　Linda Yun opened her eyes slowly. Her face was pale but her eyes were calm and deep dark. She then sat up and straightened her clothes.

　　"You deserve it!" The man looked at her with these three harsh words.

　　A sense of despair stung into her heart directly, but she just smiled faintly.

　　I deserved it?

　　Yeah, now the whole Austral City would think these three words were perfect for her!

　　She looked up right into his eyes. How awkward she was! But she beamed and said with a brisk voice, "Thanks, brother－in－law."
