☆, Chapter 112 Release from Prison
She knew in her heart that if she made any mistake, he would seize on that weakness and never let go.
In a moment of desperation, I agreed to three months with him, and now I don't have much time left...
Her most important task now is to quickly resolve the equity issue and buy it back from Si Jiliang.
Then make more money to have a place to live, get rid of any worries, so that you won't end up penniless and homeless.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran frowned slightly, a hint of impatience flashing across her face as she recalled Si Jiliang's recent unusual behavior.
————
Meanwhile, Song Yuqing was wandering aimlessly down the street. She hadn't seen Jiang Ran since their public argument.
He had given all his money to Jiang Ran to manage, but ended up losing everything when he got off the bus.
Now she has nothing. She has no news of Lu Ziyi, can't see Jiang Ran, and has lost Jiang Ran's protection. She is also repeatedly hitting a wall when looking for a job.
"Jiang Ran!" Song Yuqing's face showed anger as she called Jiang Ran's name in a low, vicious voice, as if she wanted to vent all her resentment on her.
Just then, his gaze swept across the room and he suddenly saw a familiar figure not far away.
A look of shock flashed across his face, and he quickly ran over there, rushing to catch up with the man and calling out, "Ziyi!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Ziyi turned to look at her, his brows furrowing slightly, a hint of hostility flashing across his face.
Song Yuqing's eyes were filled with disbelief, but the joy on her face contrasted sharply with Lu Ziyi's expression.
"How did you end up here?" Song Yuqing asked quickly.
Before Lu Ziyi could speak, a woman beside him frowned slightly, her brows furrowed with displeasure: "Ziyi, who is she?"
Song Yuqing then noticed that there was another woman next to Lu Ziyi; she hadn't noticed her earlier in her excitement.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that the woman speaking was strikingly beautiful, and her entire outfit consisted of luxury brands.
At the same time, she was looking her up and down, and Song Yuqing was immediately filled with anger.
She looked up at Lu Ziyi, pointed at the woman beside him, and demanded sharply, "Who is she! How could you be with her!"
It's a classic scene of a wife catching her husband's mistress in an affair.
As a wealthy heiress, An Li had been pampered since childhood and had never experienced such impolite behavior as being pointed at.
He frowned, his eyes filled with disgust as he looked at Song Yuqing. He then took Lu Ziyi's arm and acted as if they were intimate.
He said provocatively, "That's an interesting thing to say. Of course we're boyfriend and girlfriend. Who are you?"
"Boyfriend and girlfriend?" Upon hearing this, Song Yuqing was startled. Seeing that Lu Ziyi was not explaining, she felt a chill in her heart.
Still clinging to a sliver of hope, she raised her eyes to look directly at Lu Ziyi and asked in a cold voice, "Is what she said true?"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Lu Ziyi's face, and he lowered his eyes without saying a word.
Anli was dissatisfied with his behavior and asked arrogantly, "Why didn't you reply to her?"
After saying that, her eyes were full of doubt, and she looked at Lu Ziyi with a hint of displeasure.
Hearing the urging, Lu Ziyi pursed his lips slightly, lowered his eyes to look at Song Yuqing, and after weighing the pros and cons, he still chose the former.
He is a man who prioritizes profit above all else; when it comes to money, feelings are worthless.
His eyes narrowed instantly, and he said coldly, "She is my girlfriend. Please have some self-respect."
"Have some self-respect?" Song Yuqing sneered as if she had heard a joke.
"Lu Ziyi, you're telling me to have some self-respect? She's your girlfriend, so what am I?"
"I've been working tirelessly for you, even selling my house to help you out, and this is what I get in return?"
Hearing her bring up the old story again, and with An Li watching him intently from the side, Lu Ziyi felt caught in a dilemma. Then he heard Song Yuqing continue her stern rebuke: "Lu Ziyi, I didn't believe Jiang Ran when she said you were a 'phoenix man' (a man from a poor background who achieves success), thinking she was being kept in the dark."
"Now that I see it, I realize I'm the biggest joke of all!"
Song Yuqing's accusations grew louder and louder, drawing the attention of passersby, some of whom even stopped to watch.
Lu Ziyi was extremely concerned about his image, so how could he tolerate being looked down upon in public?
She quickly pulled Song Yuqing to a corner. Although An Li looked displeased, she knew what was important and followed behind.
She didn't want to be on the front page tomorrow because of something like this.
"Song Yuqing, I advise you to think before you speak." Lu Ziyi said sternly, his face displeased. "We two have no relationship now. We're married and have nothing to do with each other."
"What gives you the right to stand on your moral high ground and criticize me?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of mockery flashed in Song Yuqing's eyes, her lips curled slightly, and her face showed disdain: "Break up?"
"Lu Ziyi, have you forgotten how you begged me to help you out when you were in jail?"
"That's not what you said back then. What? Now that Bangshan has retreated, I'm useless to you, and you'll just throw me away after you've used me?"
Seeing that she was speaking with conviction, Lu Ziyi did not refute her.
He was aware that Song Yuqing had squandered her fortune through bribery, but he valued the result more than the process.
As it turned out, everything she did was in vain, a complete waste of money.
What else could it be but being brainless?
Anli, who was listening from the side, was getting annoyed and couldn't help but sneer, "You have no ability but you still spout nonsense here?"
“If we wait for you to bail him out, Ziyi might have to wait in the detention center for ten or twenty years.”
The sarcasm in her words was obvious. Knowing her own inadequacy, Song Yuqing felt a hint of embarrassment in her eyes, but her face still showed anger.
"So how did you rescue her?" Song Yuqing abruptly changed the subject and asked.
She needs to figure out where she went wrong. She's contacted the right people and paid the necessary fees, so why is it having no effect at all?
Upon hearing this, An Li lowered her eyes to look at her, her eyes full of disdain, and said coldly, "I found him a substitute and replaced him."
Hearing An Li's explanation, Song Yuqing's face was full of shock.
She had considered this approach, but it was illegal, and besides, it would require a joint consultation with the detention center, the public security bureau, and the procuratorate.
The difficulty is self-evident, yet she spoke of it so casually; no wonder…
No wonder Lu Ziyi is acting this way now; it turns out he's just too useless compared to Lu Ziyi and has become the one who's been abandoned.
With her thoughts returning to normal, Song Yuqing looked at An Li, her eyes unwavering, and asked coldly, "You're so comfortable telling me this, aren't you afraid I'll expose you for bribing officials and make you suffer the consequences?"
Hearing the threat in Song Yuqing's words, An Li didn't care at all. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, flashing a mocking arc, and then she replied.
"Suit yourself. If you're capable, go ahead and sue. If you can get it up and running, I'll consider you capable."
Anli was unwilling to waste her breath talking to her, after all, in her opinion, such a lowly person was not worthy of speaking to her.
But she couldn't stand her persistent and clingy attitude, so she spoke up and put an end to her hopes.
Fight her?
Our ancestors must have worked hard for three more generations!
"You can leave now. Let's not have anything to do with each other anymore," Lu Ziyi said coldly from the side, implicitly expressing his attitude to An Li.
He and Anli had been secretly involved for a long time. He knew that Anli had fallen in love with him at first sight, so he figured out her feelings.
His imprisonment came suddenly, and it was the work of other powerful figures who secretly exerted pressure on him, which made him feel afraid.
After realizing there was no hope with Song Yuqing, he contacted An Li directly, which allowed him to be released from prison smoothly.
"Heh..." Song Yuqing scoffed coldly upon hearing Lu Ziyi's words: "You think you can just break it off like this? Dream on!"
"To get you out, I spent over 700,000 yuan just on bribing officials, and I even had to sell my house because of it."
"You want to deny these accounts? You want to part ways amicably? No problem! But you have to return every penny I gave you!"
Song Yuqing slowly sorted out the accounts, and Lu Ziyi's expression instantly turned ugly upon hearing this, and he immediately denied it.
"These were all paid for voluntarily by you, what does it have to do with me?"
"Besides, you didn't use your brain and threw all the money in, and in the end, nothing was accomplished. Who can you blame?"
Hearing Lu Ziyi deny everything and even push all the blame onto her, Song Yuqing felt a surge of anger rising within her.
