At that moment, the whole room seemed to be still, with only the loud slap echoing in the air.
Lin Feiran sneered: "I've seen cheap people, but I've never seen anyone as cheap as you."
Han Qiongzhu staggered after being hit by the slap, and a faint slap mark quickly appeared on her face.
Her face turned ashen in an instant, her features distorted with anger, and her eyes widened with disbelief and shame.
"How dare you hit me?! I'll tell my dad, and he won't let you go!"
Lin Feiran showed no fear and just sneered.
"You keep calling me dad. Have you not been weaned off from me? Or, in this world, besides relying on your dad, you are useless for nothing?"
These words caused the crowd around to burst into laughter.
Han Qiongzhu felt unprecedented humiliation in this mocking laughter.
She was furious and caught a glimpse of a steaming cup of coffee on the table next to her. Without thinking, she rushed over, picked it up, and threw it hard at Lin Feiran.
At that critical moment, Chu Yu appeared in front of Lin Feiran.
Before Lin Feiran could react, she was hugged tightly in the arms of the person who came.
Chu Yu stepped in front of Lin Feiran, and the cup of scalding hot coffee did not spill onto Lin Feiran, but all poured onto his tall back.
He frowned slightly. Even through his well-made suit jacket, he could still clearly feel the hot temperature of the coffee.
The thought of such hot coffee, if it really splashed onto Lin Feiran's delicate skin...
Chu Yu's heart tightened involuntarily, and he didn't dare to think any further.
He turned his head, and his cold eyes pierced Han Qiongzhu like a knife.
Han Qiongzhu, who was originally arrogant and domineering, was instantly frightened and stunned.
She was pale and her tongue was tied as she tried to defend herself.
"Boss Chu, I... I really didn't mean to splash you, I just... I just wanted to teach Lin Feiran a lesson..."
At this moment, Lin Feiran had no time to ask Chu Yu why he came at this moment, but immediately went around behind him.
Seeing the marks of hot coffee on Chu Yu's back, Lin Feiran became anxious.
It must be painful if the coffee is so hot that it burns your skin through your clothes!
"Take off your coat quickly to avoid further burns to your skin."
She helped Chu Yu and quickly took off his coat.
Seeing Lin Feiran frowning and looking worried, Chu Yu gently comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Lin Feiran carefully checked Chu Yu's back and saw no obvious signs of burns, then she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why are you here suddenly?"
Chu Yu smiled: "I am an investor in your studio. Your new brand is about to be released. I want to take a look."
He couldn't reveal his relationship with Lin Feiran outside, so he could only say this.
But with his back to the crowd, he smiled and silently mouthed to Lin Feiran, "Look at you."
These words were like a warm current flowing into Lin Feiran's heart, making her unable to help but laugh.
The exchange of glances and affection between the two filled Han Qiongzhu, who was standing aside, with jealousy and resentment in her heart.
A country boy like Lin Feiran is not worthy of standing by Chu Yu's side, let alone being loved by Chu Yu.
Han Qiongzhu was unwilling to be left out, so she walked forward and cried to Chu Yu, pointing at her own face.
"Boss Chu, it was because Lin Feiran hit me in the face that I spilled the coffee in a fit of rage."
Chu Yu glanced at her with a cold gaze and an indifferent tone.
"She never takes the initiative to provoke others. If you get beaten, it only means that you deserve it."
Han Qiongzhu never expected that Chu Yu would protect Lin Feiran so much.
The tears in her eyes instantly fell, and she choked and said, "Boss Chu, how could you..."
Chu Yu's eyes became even more impatient, and he warned Han Qiongzhu.
"Han Qiongzhu, if you dare to cause trouble for Lin Feiran again, I will definitely replace the Han family as your partner."
His words stunned Han Qiongzhu.
The man in front of me actually gave up a ready-made deal for this woman?
"For a woman, you actually..."
Chu Yu was too lazy to pay attention to her. Before she could finish speaking, he waved his hand impatiently and called the security guard to kick Han Qiongzhu out.
After Han Qiongzhu left, Lin Feiran turned her gaze to Wei Xiaoyan.
"Xiao Yan, I'll give you a day off. Go and take care of your wound first."
Wei Xiaoyan nodded.
The onlookers also dispersed.
Chen Liyue also tactfully retreated, leaving only Lin Feiran and Chu Yu in the office.
Chu Yu said to Lin Feiran, "It looks like your studio is going to be successful. Why don't you resign from Yinhan Group and focus on being a jewelry designer?"
Without waiting for Lin Feiran to speak, he quickly added, "It's not that I don't want you to stay in my group, but I feel that assistant work will take up a lot of your time, and this isn't your main direction for future development. Now that you've won the SHINE award and have made a name for yourself in the jewelry design industry, you should focus on your area of expertise."
He didn't let Lin Feiran leave before and insisted on keeping her because once Lin Feiran left, they might not have much interaction anymore.
Times have changed. Although Lin Feiran's relationship with him has not yet stabilized, he no longer needs to rely on her work to tie her down.
Of course, he selfishly hopes that Lin Feiran will stay by his side, but judging from Lin Feiran's career development, she should not be trapped in this assistant position. He cannot delay her future because of his selfishness.
