Although Ding Manman wants to fly over that “high wall”, but she lacks strength to fight against Zhong Shaoting. Consequently, she keeps staring at the high wall of Zhong’s house every day, infusing into painting all the emotions she can’t express.
It’s delightful for Zhong Shaoting to see that Ding Manman behaves so tactfully and friendly these days. In his deep mind, he believes as long as Ding stays by his side, the misunderstanding between them will be cleared up gradually. If she leaves him, he cannot tell how panicked he may feel.
Paying all her attention to painting, Ding Manman almost becomes a lady of the boudoir, nearly keeping herself indoors.
Her purpose is to create a very excellent piece of work as a testimony of apprenticing Jens Johnson. She does hope to try hard to get the approval of his teacher once again and then go on to explore a better painting world in the near future.
However, Ding’s behaviors worry everyone. Zhong Shaoting is struggling to meet and talk more with her, but Ding gives him no chance in a resistant way. At the same time, Song Chen who is caught between the two lovers also feels anxious.
Meanwhile, there is another hidden danger they fail to find out. Bai Beiwang of the Bai family has been searching for news about Ding Manman in the past two days with a view to finding a chance to teach this girl a lesson.
To be honest, Bai Beiwang regretted a bit that she was too annoyed to let Ding Manman leave from her home so easily at the last time. Since then, she tried to look for her again, but failed. It seems that the girl has disappeared like air with no news left to the public.
Now, Bai Beiwang is sitting on the sofa and listening to the news from her staff who are unable to find Ding Manman, though they have followed up all the clues. The more time she spends in finding Ding Manman, the more dissatisfaction she feels towards her. She desires to revenge for his brother.
It will be a shame for Bai Beiwang if she starts revenging after almost ten years of finding her trails. People in the fast-paced society won’t say that it’s not too late for a gentlewoman to take revenge after ten years, but only say that the woman is so narrow-minded to be too particular about trifles for so long.
When Bai Beiwang is still worried about this, she receives another piece of news informed by his best assistant.
“Miss Bai, although we haven’t found any traces about Ding Manman, we found out that it was Zhong Shaoting who controlled everything behind. Ding Manman is the initiator, but the implementer is Zhong Shaoting. I think it’s the same for revenge against either of them.”
Hearing this news, Bai Beiwang, who is sitting on the sofa, immediately gets excited and says, “Please find more details about Zhong’s identity and arrange an opportunity for me to meet him.”
After a while, Bai receives a message from the assistant.
Zhong Shaoting is such a flamboyant man whose whereabouts aren’t secretive. Bai Beiwang learns that Zhong Shaoting often meets up with his friends in a bar at night. Moreover, he is so disciplined that he never lets strange women in the bar get close to him.
In that case, even if Bai Beiwang meets Zhong in the bar, he won’t allow her to get close to him.
At her wits’ end, Bai Beiwang remembers Ding Manman whose information may be used as a weapon for her to get close to him because the poor girl perhaps is the one Zhong Shaoting cares about the most.
This idea makes Bai Beiwang slightly curl up her lips, and a sweet, innocent smile appears on her blemish face.
Thus, Bai Beiwang commands her assistant, “Help me to set up for one night, and I’m going to be a waiter at that bar.”
The assistant nods and runs off to get ready, though she has no idea of what her ladyship intends to do.
At night, it is the time for Zhong Shaoting and some of his friends to have a party together. The Zhong’s company is unable to develop so well in this city without the support of his friends. Without the love and help of his parents and his younger brother, Zhong Shaoting and his friends are still on very good terms.
Hiding in the shadow, Bai Beiwang notices a procession of Zhong’s friends walking in. With her eyes scanning these men, she finds a man who looks lascivious, and she carelessly bumps into him.
The two drinks on the small tray are spilled. Bai Beiwang and the man are too close to each other, so the spilled drinks make their clothes wet.
The shinning light gives other guests an illusion that the girl is so innocent and attractive while they are looking at her. The wine flows on her white skin just like the devil’s fingers in provoking people’s heart, tempting others to commit a crime.
Of course, this bumped guy will not give up the prey in front of him and he speaks with a smile, “Who sent you to me…”
In a gentle and low voice, he sings the song named “Pelargonium Maiden”, causing Bai Beiwang to have a chilly feeling.
Narrowing his eyes, Bai Beiwang writhes the body slightly as she smiles, which makes the man who is holding her in his arms instantly take off his guard. The man feels that it is his suaveness and handsomeness that charm the waitress.
The scent of alcohol envelops them. The man doesn’t drink too much, but he still feels drunk.
Looking at Bai’s sexy waist, he can not help touching her, which makes her underwear almost be seen from aside because of the poor quality of the clothes or the great strength of the man.
In others’ eyes, a buck is flirting with an innocent girl.
As the voices of those who criticize the man get louder and louder, the man says proudly, “Look, everyone around me is jealous of me, envying that I am holding such a delicate beauty in my arms.”
His voice is loud, which sounds that he is molesting the waitress.
Bai Beiwang, who is still in his arms, looks like being bullied, so grieved and not daring to speak. It is not until she sees Zhong Shaoting walking out from the corner that she bursts into tears.
She cries loudly, “Everyone is bullying me! My parents didn’t like me and favored my little brother. As a waitress here, I was bullied by such bad guys as you!”
Bai Beiwang’s accusation makes her look more vulnerable and aggrieved.
Zhong Shaoting, who originally wanted to settle this matter down quickly and takes his friend away, feels a heartache when he hears Bai crying about her unlucky life experience. The girl’s story reminds him of Ding Manman, which calms him down gradually. He says, “Little girl, it may be a misunderstanding. You’d better change your clothes as soon as possible. I’m Zhong Shaoting, and I guarantee with my character that I’ll teach him a good lesson for you!”
With his words, Zhong Shaoting takes off his jacket and gives it to Bai Beiwang so that she won’t go naked. Then he persuades her to go to the studio first to change her clothes and comforts her, “If you want an explanation, change your clothes and come to this box.”
Then, with a glare at his brother, Zhong Shaoting and his friends walk into the box together.
