Chapter 55: Breakup.
"Sun Xiao!" Song Wuqi shouted threateningly, "Do you really have to make this scene?"
Sun Xiao sneered: "I made a scene?! Miss Song, you went ahead and did it..."
"Sun Xiao, don't go too far!" Tang Ran interrupted her. "You want me to call the police, don't you?"
Sun Xiao's momentum waned, but he remained defiant, "Call the police? Do you have any evidence?"
She was terrified when she first received the video.
After I calmed down, I wasn't afraid anymore.
The video, with the beginning and end cut off, at most shows her pulling Tang Ran into the room.
Even if Tang Ran had called the police at the time, without evidence that she had drugged him, she could have exonerated herself.
She just saw Tang Ran and pulled her inside to talk, so what?
"Master Xiao."
The muscular man, holding a remote control, called out to Sun Xiao, breaking the standoff between the three.
The TV in the private room was already on. He took the USB drive, plugged it in, and it took less than ten seconds.
"Tang Ran, today I'll show you what she's really like," Sun Xiao pointed at Song Wuqi with a wicked grin, "what a hypocrite she is!"
"Let him out!" Sun Xiao shouted excitedly at the muscular man.
Song Wuqi tried to stop him, but it was too late.
The video shows her and Ye Xiaoyu in bed, not during the act, but afterward. They are covered with a blanket, and she is holding Ye Xiaoyu.
'Fool, I've always loved you.'
When the scene appeared, the color drained from Song Wuqi's face rapidly.
The video background is her room at the Rongcheng Hotel, and the perspective is directly facing the bed.
She and Ye Xiaoyu were secretly photographed.
Watching the images on TV, Ye Xiaoyu was completely dumbfounded!
She was happy when Sun Xiao persisted in his accusations.
She no longer wanted to be someone who couldn't see the light of day!
I don't want to be pushed into the closet and hide there again!
Ye Xiaoyu wanted their relationship to be exposed.
But not in this form!
Ye Xiaoyu looked at Song Wuqi for help.
Song Wuqi's face was deathly pale, and his staring eyes were completely unreadable.
"My marriage to Tang Ran was all because of my grandfather. Her maternal grandfather helped him back then, and he, out of old friendship, arranged for me to marry her. I had no choice. You know the Tang family isn't doing well now..."
The images on the television continued to play.
Lu Shuyang was the first to react; she yanked the power cord off the TV.
When I reached out to unplug the USB drive, someone else beat me to it.
The person playing the video quickly unplugged the USB drive from the TV and threw it into a water bottle they were carrying.
When the USB drive was submerged in water, it started to bubble.
Lu Shuyang's expression darkened.
Sun Xiao's act of publicly playing videos of others in bed with the aim of revenge is illegal, even if no nudity was shown.
The evidence is now gone.
This person reacted so quickly, they must have been prepared in advance.
The private room fell into complete silence; you could hear a pin drop.
There are quite a few second-generation elite circles in Jiangcheng, and those who can get along well are basically those with similar values and character.
In their circle, there are married people and single people.
There are a few people who love to have fun, changing boyfriends and girlfriends one after another. They play around, one after another, but none of them cheat on each other or have two relationships at the same time.
A person's character is revealed in the details. If a person can have two faces in front of their closest relatives, let alone how they treat others.
Before the video was released, Song Wuqi was still full of confidence and lied without batting an eye.
Her usual gentle and composed demeanor is very likely a facade.
For a moment, they all looked at Song Wuqi and Ye Xiaoyu with mixed feelings.
"Tang Ran, you're blind! Look at what she's done, and you're still protecting her, hahaha!"
Sun Xiao was the first to speak, looking at Tang Ran triumphantly.
"She was keeping you hanging on while sleeping with her assistant, and you actually thought she was good to you? You must be an idiot!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Tang Ran repeatedly said that she was not as good as Song Wuqi.
And then what happened?
Seeing Tang Ran sad made her extremely happy!
Tang Ran was blind to the value of a gem, and treated Song Wuqi, a piece of donkey dung, like a treasure!
Now you're a fool, aren't you!
It's definitely more satisfying to expose Song Wuqi's true colors than to have someone beat him up!
Digging into Song Wuqi's privacy was not Sun Xiao's initial method of seeking revenge against Song Wuqi.
After getting off the cruise ship, she originally planned to find someone to sabotage Song Wuqi by putting him in a sack.
She contacted her most obedient henchman, a ruthless man who didn't talk much and had a seriously ill mother. He was willing to do anything, even beat people up to collect debts, as long as the money was right.
She contacted the person in the morning and received photos of him staking out the location in the afternoon.
The photo was taken in the stairwell in front of Song Wuqi's house.
Ye Xiaoyu held Song Wuqi's hand intimately.
The other party sent her a photo and asked her to confirm whether the person in the photo was Song Wuqi.
Sun Xiao changed his mind.
“Sun Xiao, taking photos without permission is illegal,” Lu Shuyang warned her.
"Don't try to scare me, I didn't film any videos."
The USB drive has been destroyed, so Sun Xiao isn't afraid at all.
Sun Xiao shrugged, revealing nothing, "Lu Shuyang, it's a pity you're so smart, you can't even recognize your own friends, tsk tsk."
"Song Wuqi is a liar, a hypocritical scumbag!"
Sun Xiao's gaze swept over everyone in the private room, finally landing on Tang Ran.
Tang Ran didn't speak, but her eyes were filled with shock, disbelief, and indescribable sadness as she looked at Song Wuqi.
This is the expression on her face when she found out about Song Wuqi's infidelity in her previous life.
In the previous life, it was a genuine expression of emotion.
Now, it's all an act.
She stood there, watching as Song Wuqi's feigned gentle face gradually cracked.
I watched as the composure and calmness that Song Wuqi was so proud of slowly crumbled from her.
Seeing her shocked and bewildered, seeing her avoid her friends' gazes, looking utterly disheveled.
The exhilaration of revenge surged from the depths of her heart, like a monstrous wave sweeping over every nerve of Tang Ran.
Tang Ran's body trembled slightly, her hands clenched tightly.
Her fingertips dug into her palm, the sharp pain keeping her calm.
She had waited two lifetimes for this moment.
In the days immediately after she returned, she woke up in terror almost every night.
Only by constantly fantasizing about this moment could Tang Ran slightly suppress the raging hatred in her heart.
When Tang Ran encountered Sun Xiao at the Xia family home, she already had the idea of using her to get revenge on Song Wuqi.
Tang Ran deliberately provoked Sun Xiao, saying she couldn't even compare to one of Song Wuqi's toes, just to anger her and make her take her anger out on Song Wuqi.
At the horse farm, Sun Xiao pestered her again, which made Tang Ran even more determined to make a plan.
Since returning from Turtle Island, I've been looking for the right opportunity.
This gives Sun Xiao and Song Wuqi another chance to face off.
The loan for the Tang family has not yet been approved. Tang Ran knows that if she runs into Sun Xiao again, he will definitely come and bother her again.
She planned to get Song Wuqi and Sun Xiao to fight each other then.
Let the hatred reach its peak.
She wasn't surprised to run into Sun Xiao on the yacht, but what happened next was completely different from what she had planned.
However, the result was good.
She achieved her goal.
It might even be more effective.
Sun Xiao's presence today was all planned.
Only Sun Xiao could tear off the mask and make a scene without any scruples, allowing Song Wuqi's cheating to be exposed in the best possible way.
It's not time to pop champagne yet.
Tang Ran reminded herself in her heart.
Tearing off Song Wuqi's mask was not her ultimate goal.
Panic, helplessness, struggle, despair, and despair—the pain and torment she experienced.
Everything must be returned to Song Wuqi a hundredfold or a thousandfold!
Tang Ran lowered her head.
He controlled the beast within him that had not been there for a long time.
Song Wuqi didn't look at Tang Ran; her eyes were vacant, and her mind was in complete chaos.
With such a peeping angle, Sun Xiao must have more than one video in his possession!
Furthermore, after what happened today, she can no longer stay in this small circle.
Besides, we definitely can't hide it from Grandpa either!
No, no, she can't lose her composure!
She has to find a way to solve these problems!
Song Wuqi clenched his fist!
She regretted it!
She regretted it even more than before!
She shouldn't have gotten involved with Ye Xiaoyu!
And that mad dog, Sun Xiao!
Why are you still clinging to her?!
Tang Ran, yes, Tang Ran!
She should calm Tang Ran down first!
If Tang Ran can forgive her, her grandfather won't blame her too much.
"Dye".
In a panic, Song Wuqi called out Tang Ran's name.
Disdainful gazes came from all directions, like steel knives slashing Ye Xiaoyu's face.
Ye Xiaoyu subconsciously wanted to pull Song Wuqi away.
Song Wuqi didn't even glance at her, and walked straight towards Tang Ran.
Ye Xiaoyu felt as if she had been hit hard with a hammer, her head spinning and she almost couldn't stand up. She stared blankly at Song Wuqi's back.
"Dye".
Song Wuqi sounded guilty and reached out to pull Tang Ran.
Tang Ran shook her hand away and looked up at her.
His eyes still held emotions he hadn't had time to fully conceal.
"Ranran, let me explain..." Song Wuqi's words got stuck in his throat.
Tang Ran's eyes were cold and indifferent.
Song Wuqi was momentarily stunned.
Snap!
Song Wuqi's face was slapped to the side, followed by a burning pain.
The private room fell silent once again.
Song Wuqi stared at Tang Ran in shock.
Tang Ran hit her again, in front of everyone.
Snap!
Song Wuqi took another heavy blow to the side of his face that had been hit.
"Tang Ran!"
Song Wuqi's anger surged uncontrollably.
Tang Ran wasn't just slapping her in the face, she was practically stomping her face into the ground!
Song Wuqi raised his hand.
"Holy shit!"
Miao Tiantian immediately swore.
She grabbed the bowl beside her and splashed it on Song Wuqi's face, the seafood soup inside splattering all over Song Wuqi's head and face.
"Song Wuqi, what do you think you're doing! Do you still want to beat Ranran?!"
"You despicable woman, you cheated on me and you still have the nerve to talk back!"
Splashing soup on her face wasn't enough to vent her anger, so Miao Tiantian grabbed her bag and threw it at Song Wuqi.
"They said they had no other choice but to form an alliance!"
"You were the one who shamelessly pursued Ranran back then!"
She moved too fast.
Song Wuqi was completely unprepared and took several solid hits!
By the time Song Wuqi realized what was happening and tried to fight back, his friends had already pulled Miao Tiantian away and also restrained her.
"You're a fucking liar, a piece of trash!"
"Pah! Calling you a dog is an insult to dogs!"
Even a fucking dog knows loyalty!
Even after they were pulled apart, Miao Tiantian's mouth didn't stop; she kept cursing Song Wuqi like a machine gun.
"Well done!" Sun Xiao clapped his hands, cheering for Miao Tiantian.
"Sweetie." Tang Ran grabbed her hand worriedly and pressed it against her palm.
They've already hit me and yelled at me.
Just have some fun, don't get really angry.
"snort!"
Miao Tiantian crossed her arms, glared at Song Wuqi, and turned her face away.
Song Wuqi was absolutely furious!
She cheated on Tang Ran, not Miao Tiantian!
Why should I get hit by her!
The door to the private room was opened from the outside, and Manager Wang walked in looking anxious.
Five minutes earlier, the waiter in the private room found her in a panic, saying that he had seen two thugs enter the boss's private room and lock the door from the inside.
Manager Wang quickly called Tang Ran, but couldn't get through, so he immediately grabbed the spare key and rushed over.
Manager Wang breathed a sigh of relief after finding his boss unharmed, and then quickly looked around the private room.
Apart from Miss Song being rather disheveled, the rest of the people seemed fine.
"Who are you people?!" Manager Wang asked Sun Xiao and his two companions.
He has a good memory; he remembers the faces of all the boss's friends, except for Sun Xiao and the other two, who are unfamiliar faces.
"We've delivered the gifts, so we're leaving now." Sun Xiao said, putting his hands in his pockets as he walked out.
"You can't leave!" Song Wuqi blurted out.
During her business trip to Rongcheng, she stayed with Ye Xiaoyu for several days.
Sun Xiao must have other videos; she can't let him leave like this.
"Aren't you letting us leave?"
Sun Xiao shook the bottle containing the USB drive at Lu Shuyang, completely ignoring Song Wuqi.
In her eyes, Song Wuqi is now nothing more than a defeated, homeless dog!
He's still a stray dog whose weakness she has leverage over!
"Let her go," Lu Shuyang said, pulling Song Wuqi back.
"She..." Song Wuqi couldn't finish his sentence.
"It doesn't matter."
Lu Shuyang comforted her and called to Xia Xin'er behind him, "Xin'er."
Xia Xin'er handed her her phone.
Lu Shuyang tapped the phone screen and raised his hand to show it to Sun Xiao.
“I’ve been recording you on my phone ever since you came in.”
"After you came in, you locked the door, blocked the signal, and wouldn't let us leave. That's illegal detention."
"You exposed someone else's private video without authorization for the purpose of retaliation, which violated their right to privacy."
"Your public insults against someone who is facing a life sentence constitute an infringement of their right to reputation."
"I also want to remind you that secretly filming others indecent videos and disseminating or uploading them to the internet is a crime. If you are not clear about this, you can go back and ask your aunt how many years she will be sentenced to."
Lu Shuyang speaks clearly and logically.
She walked up to Sun Xiao as she spoke.
Lu Shuyang was a head taller than Sun Xiao, and he looked down at Sun Xiao with a particularly intimidating gaze.
"Are you threatening me?" Sun Xiao glared angrily.
The USB drive was destroyed, but Lu Shuyang filmed a video, which is also evidence.
"No, I'm just reminding you that some things need to be done in moderation, otherwise even your aunt can't save you," Lu Shuyang said calmly. "Understand?"
Lu Shuyang had thought of everything Song Wuqi could think of, but since the video was in Sun Xiao's hands, she couldn't think of a better way than just issuing a warning.
"I don't understand what you're saying." Sun Xiao looked flustered for a moment. "I didn't film anything."
There is no best.
After Sun Xiao and his group left, Lu Shuyang took charge of the overall situation, telling everyone to disperse for the day and instructing them not to spread the news of what happened today.
Everyone agreed.
They've been friends for years, and given Lu Shuyang's previous warning to Sun Xiao, no one has the time or inclination to cause trouble for themselves.
After seeing off the rest of their friends, only Tang Ran, Song Wuqi, Miao Tiantian, Xia Xiner, and Ye Xiaoyu remained in the private room.
Lu Shuyang walked up to Ye Xiaoyu.
"Senior."
Ye Xiaoyu looked at her with red eyes, looking extremely pitiful.
The incident happened so suddenly that everyone in the room was at a loss, except for Lu Shuyang, who remained calm in the face of danger.
Knowing that he had been secretly filmed, Song Wuqi was completely helpless, and it was Lu Shuyang who handled the crisis swiftly and decisively.
Ye Xiaoyu also regretted it.
She shouldn't have given up on Lu Shuyang so easily in the first place.
If she had been with Lu Shuyang, she certainly wouldn't be in this situation today.
"Don't call her that in that slutty voice!"
Xia Xin'er angrily shielded Lu Shuyang behind her.
Ye Xiaoyu lowered her head in fear.
Lu Shuyang gave Xia Xin'er a reproachful look.
"You're glaring at me!" Xia Xin'er glared at Lu Shuyang.
Hearing her words, a glimmer of hope ignited in Ye Xiaoyu's heart.
She raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Don't get angry over people who are unrelated to you." Lu Shuyang poked her cheek and coaxed her gently, "Sit quietly for a while, I'll take care of it right away."
"One minute."
"good."
Xia Xin'er let go of her and walked to Tang Ran's side.
Miao Tiantian gave Xia Xiner a thumbs up.
Xia Xin'er gave a sly smile.
She's physically weak and can't help fight Song Wuqi, but she's more than capable of dealing with Ye Xiaoyu.
Ye Xiaoyu's face flushed red and then turned pale.
"Assistant Ye, it's time for you to go."
Lu Shuyang's tone was cold, as if he were a completely different person when he spoke to Xia Xin'er.
"Study..." Ye Xiaoyu's voice choked with emotion.
"Don't call me that anymore. I introduced you to the Song family, not so you could climb into their bed."
That's already a very harsh statement.
However, it was already a great favor that they didn't kick her out in front of everyone.
Ye Xiaoyu's face turned completely pale.
"You can submit your resignation tomorrow, or I can have your advisor persuade you."
Lu Shuyang is willing to get involved in so much today not just because he is friends with Song Wuqi.
She was the one who introduced Ye Xiaoyu to the Song family in the first place, so she also needs to take some responsibility for today's outcome.
"I."
Ye Xiaoyu's eyes widened, and after seeing the coldness in her eyes, she turned to look at Song Wuqi.
Song Wuqi sat on the sofa, his hands covering his head.
They were not far apart, so Song Wuqi was sure he could hear what they were saying.
But Song Wuqi didn't look up at her.
Ye Xiaoyu ran away crying.
Lu Shuyang turned around and looked at Xia Xin'er immediately. Xia Xin'er winked at her.
Lu Shuyang smiled faintly, then sighed and walked towards Song Wuqi.
"We'll head back now."
Miao Tiantian glanced at Song Wuqi with disgust, then pulled Tang Ran away.
Tang Ran tugged at Miao Tiantian, indicating that she had more to say.
She turned around and said coldly, "Song Wuqi."
Song Wuqi raised his head, his eyes filled with hope.
"separate."
