Chapter 8 Was I wrong?

The electronic voice came to Xiang Bei's ears again.

[Loading...]

The large screen suddenly switched to a different image, showing a progress bar with text on the green section.

[10%]

"What the hell is this thing?" Xiang Bei slapped the big screen twice, but apart from her hand hurting, she got nothing.

But she couldn't have misheard that electronic voice.

Xiang Bei kicked twice more, then sat down on the ground to rest before kicking again.

The big screen flickered and then switched back to showing Lin Beibei's image.

She was familiar with the surroundings; it was where she used to tutor.

It was a lively day. She was surrounded by several children, both boys and girls, all around the same age as Ning Yuxuan.

The children stood close together, the boys in white shirts and overalls, the girls in little skirts, engaging in social interaction in a very professional manner.

But if you listen carefully, they only talk about where their parents took them to broaden their horizons.

Xiang Bei listened, and it sounded more like she was showing off.

Ning Yuxuan herself was wearing a fluffy princess dress and a diamond crown on her head, looking like a princess living in a castle.

Lin Beibei wore a floral dress today, but compared to the formal attire worn by the people here, her clothes were clearly out of place.

Xiang Bei watched for a while before she understood that Ning Yuxuan had specially invited Lin Beibei, her tutor, to come over for her birthday today.

Ning Yuxuan's parents are not in China, and she has always lived with her uncle.

Her uncle, Gu Tingyun, is the city's youngest and most promising entrepreneur, and many people have to give him face.

Gu Tingyun's niece held a birthday party, and naturally many people came to show their support.

Lin Beibei simply stood quietly by the swimming pool, watching the children playing in it.

She wasn't particularly affected by any of this until she saw the comments appearing in front of her.

It looks really lively!

"Sister Xiang Bei, you're back?"

Lin Beibei looked at the scrolling text that had reappeared in front of her and exclaimed with delight.

Xiang Bei disappeared for three days again this time, but having learned from the previous experience, Lin Beibei wasn't too worried.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the comments reappear.

Thankfully, Sister Xiang Bei didn't leave.

Otherwise, she really wouldn't know what to do.

Dodge to the left.

Upon seeing the comments, Lin Beibei moved a few steps to the left without thinking.

A chubby little boy in swim trunks rushed past her and plunged into the swimming pool.

[That kid was lurking around behind you suspiciously earlier; I guessed he was going to do something naughty and push you down.]

"Thank you, Sister Xiang Bei," Lin Beibei said to herself.

Received it, but don't thank me yet, be careful.

Lin Beibei nodded. The chubby boy couldn't swim, so he plunged into the pool and struggled desperately inside.

There are people specifically assigned to take care of these children. When he cried for help, bodyguards jumped down to rescue him.

Ning Yuxuan arrived at some point and stood not far away, looking at the chubby boy with a look of disgust. "You're so stupid. I'll never talk to you again."

Watching Ning Yuxuan's departing figure, the chubby boy immediately burst into tears, "Xuanxuan, please don't ignore me."

Lin Beibei never expected that it was Ning Yuxuan who instructed that chubby boy to push her into the water.

Aside from the first day when Ning Yuxuan teased her, she behaved exceptionally well afterward. Little did she know what awaited her at the birthday party.

If she had fallen into the water just now, it would have been a huge embarrassment for all these guests.

Lin Beibei avoided the group of children; she wanted to leave.

Although Ning Yuxuan had invited her here, it would be impolite to just leave. She wanted to inform the housekeeper before going back.

But after searching around, I still couldn't find the housekeeper.

"Isn't this Rebecca? What's she doing here?"

A teasing voice came from over there. Lin Beibei looked in the direction of the voice and saw Wu Shao, whom she had met at the club, walking towards her with a wine glass in his hand.

He gave Lin Beibei a free and unrestrained look, "This outfit isn't as nice as the one you wore last time. I still prefer the uniform you wore; it showed more skin."

Seeing his face suddenly approach, Lin Beibei frowned and took a step back. This man reeked of alcohol, which smelled terrible.

"You're harassing someone's guests in their own home; it's disgusting to even look at you," Lin Beibei said bluntly.

"You bitch, what did you say?" Wu Chi's expression changed instantly.

He was slapped for no reason last time, but after thinking it over, he couldn't help but feel that it had something to do with this woman.

Although I don't know how she did it, I just feel it's related to her.

Wu Chi reached out and pinched Lin Beibei's chin, his fingertips stroking her cheek. "With such a beautiful face, how can you speak so rudely?"

"Let me go!" Lin Beibei struggled.

"I love stubborn women like you. I hope you'll be just as stubborn in bed later."

Wu Chi dragged Lin Beibei toward a nearby room, saying, "I'm going to have my way with you today."

Lin Beibei struggled for a moment but couldn't break free. Compared to last time, she was much calmer this time.

Knowing that someone was always around, he grabbed an unopened bottle of champagne and smashed it on Wu Chi's head.

The commotion immediately attracted the attention of the guests.

Wu Chi lay on the ground covered in blood, while Lin Beibei, clutching the broken champagne bottle, broke free from his embrace. He lay on the ground, his friend.

A woman's scream rang out.

"My son!"

An elegantly dressed lady rushed out from the crowd, saw Lin Beibei committing the crime, and raised her hand to slap her.

Lin Beibei was not afraid of her and went to meet her with the champagne bottle that was only half left.

If that woman were to slap her, even if it didn't pierce her palm, it wouldn't end well.

"Go ahead and hit me, try it!" Lin Beibei glared fiercely at the other person.

The woman's hand remained frozen in mid-air, unwilling to slap him but too afraid to do so.

Whichever direction her hand moved, Lin Beibei's wine bottle would follow.

His gaze finally fell on his son lying on the ground, and he immediately rushed over to him.

Then he threatened Lin Beibei, "You little bitch, you dare to hit my son, I'll make you pay."

Lin Beibei was holding a broken bottle in one hand and reaching for her phone on the table with the other. Just as she was about to dial the police, she heard a voice.

"What happened?" Gu Tingyun came down the stairs.

Even before the lady spoke, someone had already told Gu Tingyun about Lin Beibei hitting someone.

Gu Tingyun's gaze fell on Lin Beibei. "You dared to do that?"

Lin Beibei looked at him and laughed mockingly, "Didn't you see everything upstairs just now? Why ask when you already know the answer? Do you think the dignified President Gu is blind?"

When Wu Chi came over just now, Gu Tingyun was upstairs.

He witnessed everything; he was, after all, the host, yet he acted as if it were none of his business.

Lin Beibei disliked this person; every time she saw him, she felt like prey being targeted.

"I will investigate this matter thoroughly," Gu Tingyun said, looking at Lin Beibei.

"Have you found out?" Lin Beibei looked at the other person, not trusting him, after all, the other person was in cahoots with Wu Chi.

He could watch Wu Chi attempt to assault her; how could she trust him?

So she decisively chose to call the police.

Everyone present fell silent instantly, and soon began to criticize Lin Beibei.

How could she call the police?

"Exactly, if we call the police, wouldn't we lose all face?"

For people of their status, getting into trouble with the police is not a good thing; in serious cases, it could even drag down their own company's stock price.

Therefore, they always choose to settle things privately.

But Lin Beibei had already dialed the police.

After hanging up the phone, she looked at Gu Tingyun and said, "Mr. Gu, I hope that when the police arrive, you can tell the truth. Otherwise, it could obstruct the fairness of the judicial process."

Wu Chi's mother held her son, looking completely bewildered.

Lin Beibei looked over and then said to Gu Tingyun, "You should call an ambulance for your good lackey."

Gu Tingyun looked at Lin Beibei with a gloomy gaze, a smile playing on his lips. "Fine, you're very good."

After the police arrived, the ambulance also came.

The ambulance took Wu Chi away. As the owner of the villa, Gu Tingyun naturally had to go to the police station to give a statement. Moreover, Lin Beibei had already said that he was an eyewitness at the scene.

"Since you saw someone trying to assault Miss Lin, as the host of the banquet, why didn't you stop them?"

Gu Tingyun looked up at the policeman who had spoken, his presence exuding an aura of authority. "I thought they knew each other, so I assumed they were just joking around."

The police officers frowned. The man in front of them was extremely arrogant, as if he didn't take them, the police officers, seriously at all.

Outside, the policewoman handed Lin Beibei a glass of water to comfort her, and then asked what had happened.

Lin Beibei showed the incident to the policewoman.

Why did he call you Rebecca? Did you two know each other before?

“My mother was sick, and the surgery was too expensive. I heard that I could make a lot of money at this club, so I went there. During my trial period, the manager gave me a nickname, Rebecca. When I went into the private room, he started touching me inappropriately. The manager even made me apologize to him. I didn’t think I had done anything wrong, and I didn’t want to do that job. I haven’t been there since.”

Lin Beibei looked at the police officer with red eyes, "Sister, I just wanted to earn money to pay for my mother's medical treatment. I stayed there for less than an hour, and then I realized I wasn't suited for it, so I decided to quit. Was I wrong?"

The policewoman looked at her with pity and hugged her tightly. "No, you did nothing wrong."

Lin Beibei told the policewoman what happened, "I did go there to look for a job, but I'm not their employee. Even if I am, he has no right to force me to sleep with him. Besides, this happened in someone else's home. He did this, and I only acted in self-defense."

The policewoman recorded Lin Beibei's words and then asked her to provide the video on her phone.

The video clearly recorded their conversation, Wu Chi's words "I'll do you" and the scene of him dragging Lin Beibei to the room.

Moreover, Lin Beibei only hit him with a champagne bottle and did not continue to attack, which meets the criteria for self-defense.

When I looked at Lin Beibei again, I saw that she had her head down and large tears were falling onto the back of her hand.

The officer handed her a tissue, saying, "It's okay, don't be afraid."

Lin Beibei nodded vigorously to the police officer, "Sister, thank you for helping me."

The officer hugged her again and patted her on the shoulder.

It's unclear how much time passed before Gu Tingyun finally emerged.

Lin Beibei had long been prepared to lose her tutoring job, but she didn't expect that Gu Tingyun would just glance at her and leave without saying anything.

Lin Beibei felt somewhat resistant to this job. If she didn't become a tutor, she had two other part-time jobs, and she could always find another one.

She was also a little conflicted, wondering where she could find such a high-paying tutoring job.

After struggling with the decision for a while, Lin Beibei still sent a message to Gu Tingyun's assistant, telling him that she would no longer be a tutor.

After giving her statement, Lin Beibei left the police station.

She stood at the entrance of the police station and whispered, "Sister Xiang Bei, thank you."

With her strength, it's impossible for her to have beaten Wu Chi like that with just one bottle.

It must be Sister Xiang Bei helping her behind the scenes.

[Keep the video safe. If the Wu family dares to cause you trouble, just show it to them.]

Lin Beibei nodded vigorously. She was very lucky; both her account and the coffee shop were doing very well.

She will definitely earn money as soon as possible to treat her mother's illness; who says she has to rely on them?
