Chapter 111: Plenty of Strength and Means

After not seeing each other for a while, both she and Jian Yao seemed like different people.

Jian Yao abandoned her previous plain and simple attire and became bright and radiant. With just a necklace around her neck, she could easily buy an apartment in Beijing.

On the other hand, the money she had earned from Lu Chengze over the years and the hush money Lu Jingyi gave her were enough for her to live comfortably for a long time.

But a few days after her brother was released from prison, he became addicted to gambling again. Not only did he lose all her money, he even sold the homestead in his hometown.

Her parents were desperate and forced her to find another rich man to pay off her brother's debts, otherwise they would find an old widower and sell her for a dowry.

When she found out her brother had started gambling again, she thought about running away with the money, but her brother threatened her that he would kill their parents if she ran away.

She didn't dare to gamble her parents' lives against her brother's conscience, so she could only repeatedly promise that she could go out and earn money to support the family.

She is a top student who graduated from Beijing University. She has an outstanding figure and appearance. She firmly believes that she can easily find a decent and high-paying job.

Then, reality soon hit her hard.

During those years at Lu's, with Lu Chengze supporting her, she only needed to be a pretty vase, thinking every day about which skin care products were good and which big brands had new products, and she didn't have to do anything about work.

I haven't learned any skills at all, and I've almost forgotten everything I learned in school.

Moreover, the Lu family incident caused such a big stir that gossipy netizens dug her house upside down and her photos were spread everywhere.

With this precedent in mind, no decent company would dare to hire her.

Finally, under the pressure of life and family, she had no choice but to join her current company.

It is still the identity of a secretary, but when necessary, I need to provide special value to the boss and partners.

For example, now.

Liu Yiyi thought that she had become accustomed to it and numb during this time.

But the moment he saw Jian Yao, an unprecedented feeling of shame and unwillingness surged into his heart.

In what way is she inferior to Jian Yao?

Why was Jian Yao abandoned by Lu Chengze and then married Gu Zhiyan, who was of higher status and more outstanding?

And she could only follow an old man under the pressure of her family and endure his harassment.

At this moment, Liu Yiyi's anger reached its peak.

She looked at Jian Yao fiercely.

She wanted to rush up and tell Gu Zhiyan that the woman he married, Jian Yao, was just a piece of trash that Lu Chengze didn't want, and that she got engaged to him only because Lu Chengze was out of town and couldn't come back, so she pulled him out to take his place temporarily.

She had liked Lu Chengze for more than ten years, but she didn't love him at all. She was with him just to get revenge on Lu Chengze.

However, before she could move, the man's hand had already moved up along her waistline in public, and his greasy face rubbed against her fair cheek.

A physiological nausea surged in Liu Yiyi's heart.

The next second, an elderly lady dressed in designer clothes rushed out from the corner and slapped Liu Yiyi in the face.

"You dress like a vixen every day at work. I've long suspected that you're restless. I caught you today, right?"

This noble lady had a very loud voice. As soon as she sang, everyone in the restaurant focused their attention on her. Even the soothing and elegant light music paused for a moment before continuing.

However, everyone's attention in the restaurant has shifted to the excitement over there.

The sudden slap stunned both Liu Yiyi and the fat and big-eared boss. After they reacted, the boss immediately distanced himself from Liu Yiyi and distanced himself from her.

"Wife, she seduced me. This matter has nothing to do with me!"

"You believe me!"

The noble woman glared at him fiercely and said, "I'll deal with you when I get back."

After saying that, she grabbed Liu Yiyi's carefully groomed hair and slapped her again, "I've heard that you are a restless person. When you were in Lu's company, you made Mr. Lu crazy. Now you want to use this trick on my husband?"

She lifted up Liu Yiyi's pitiful face and spat fiercely at her face, "Let me tell you, I'm not the frivolous and shameless young lady from the Jian family. I have the strength and means to kill you!"

After she finished speaking, she did not let go, but grabbed Liu Yiyi's hair and dragged her out. The fat and big-eared boss followed behind her like a wolf, his face flushed under everyone's gaze.

The waiter from the restaurant came over with the manager, originally to mediate the conflict, but suddenly realized that they were leaving, and immediately stepped forward, "Hey, sir, please settle the bill."

The boss took out his mobile phone with shaking hands, hastily scanned the code to pay the bill, and quickly chased after him.

Liu Yiyi was hit on the head several times in a row until she felt dizzy, and was dragged by her hair the whole time, without any ability to fight back.

Before leaving the door, she glanced in the direction of Jian Yao and happened to see the person opposite her carefully tucking the scattered hair behind her ears. She was so angry that her eyes were bloodshot.

Why?

She is better than Jian Yao in every way.

Why is she so cruel, but Jian Yao can live so freely?

Not fair!

This is not fair!

She will never let her go!

Definitely not!

Jian Yao saw Liu Yiyi being dragged out with his own eyes, and naturally did not miss the malicious look in her eyes when she looked at him.

She didn't understand that it was Liu Yiyi who had interfered between her and Lu Chengze from the very beginning, and it was all her own fault that she had ended up like this.

I didn't even care about the trap she had set for me in the past, so how could Liu Yiyi have the face to look at her like that?

Gu Zhiyan followed Jian Yao's line of sight and glanced outside, just in time to see Liu Yiyi being kicked to the ground by the original wife, who was about to tear off her clothes. He frowned and looked away.

"Do you want to help her?"

He could see that when Jian Yao saw Liu Yiyi, there was a hint of sympathy in her surprise.

However, he hopes that Jian Yao will completely cut off all ties with Lu Chengze.

But if she wanted to help that woman, he could lend a hand.

Hearing Gu Zhiyan's voice, Jian Yao came back to her senses.

It took me two seconds to realize what Gu Zhiyan meant.

She shook her head. "No."

It seemed like he wanted to prove to Gu Zhiyan that he really didn't want to help her.

She repeated it more specifically, "I don't want to help her."

She is not the Virgin Mary. She can ignore what Liu Yiyi did to her in the past and will not deliberately make things difficult for her.

But that doesn't mean she will deliberately help her.

People like Liu Yiyi are the kind of accomplices mentioned in the rumors.

Although her life story and experiences are pitiful, those who help her will not only not receive sincere gratitude, but may also be dragged down by her at any time.

She didn't dare to retaliate against those who bullied her, but she was ruthless when it came to those who were good to her and those who let her off time and time again.

She and Lu Chengze are the best examples.
