Chapter 4 Fight until you vomit blood
How did Aci's ring end up on Ye Qingyu's hand?
Regarding this, Lu Ran could only think of one possibility.
Seeing the bulging veins on Lu Ran's hand, Jing Lin's eyes flashed with relief, and he asked with a smile, "Brother Lu, are you planning to...?"
That night at 11 p.m., Ye Qingyu, who had already arrived at school after a nearly two-hour subway ride, suddenly received a recall notice from Henglin Airlines. The notice was urgent, and after learning Ye Qingyu's location, the company specially reimbursed her travel expenses so that she could come over immediately.
Ye Qingyu had a feeling something was wrong, but she still came.
Upon arriving at the company, the door opened to reveal a brightly lit room. A dozen or so leaders, dressed in slightly disheveled suits, sat on either side of the conference table, clearly having just been pulled from bed or a drinking session. Behind them were two or three rows of employees huddled up with their heads down. At the table in the conference room sat Lu Ran and Jing Lin.
The two were dressed casually; Lu Ran wore a gray casual jacket and looked quite presentable. Jing Lin, standing next to him, had a head of frizzy pink hair.
Ye Qingyu had encountered the two of them many times on campus. Because they were both wearing school uniforms, they were indistinguishable except for their striking features and arrogant expressions. But now, after entering society, the distance of a long table, several meters apart, seemed insurmountable.
There really are people in this world who are superior to others.
Ye Qingyu lowered her thick eyelashes.
Before she could even greet the leader sitting in the first row, the leader roared angrily:
"Ye Qingyu!"
Dozens of eyes turned to Ye Qingyu. The leader slammed his fist on the table. "Ye Qingyu, who gave you the audacity to steal Miss Pei's ring!"
Ye Qingyu's pupils widened as she looked at Lu Ran in disbelief. But Lu Ran remained arrogant, so she looked at her superior and explained, "I did not steal Miss Pei's ring."
"You didn't steal it?" The leader laughed, showing a frame of Ye Qingyu taking the ring. "Why is Miss Pei's ring in your hand?!"
"This was given to me by Miss Pei."
"Miss Pei gave it to you? Why should Miss Pei give you the ring? What proof do you have that the ring is for you?!"
At the time, Ye Qingyu and Pei Ci were not the only two people at the airport. There were other staff members around, and someone witnessed the whole process. The beautiful lady handed the ring to Ye Qingyu, and her smile was so beautiful that it made people's hearts race.
At the time, many people were envious of Ye Qingyu's good fortune. Not only did she get to talk to that fairy-like young lady, but she also received a valuable ring. They were so angry that they wanted to vomit blood. At work that night, they would make things difficult for Ye Qingyu.
However, at this point, not a single person stood up to speak for Ye Qingyu.
They had already settled on a previous assumption: this was actually a prank by the young lady to fool the common people.
He deliberately claimed that the ring was lost, then gave it to a commoner, and then framed the commoner, watching the commoner's pathetic state of being unable to defend himself and banging his head on the ground in embarrassment.
Why do I say that?
Anyone who has had the privilege of serving the young masters and ladies of Anta Academy knows what kind of people these two young masters are. Especially Jing Lin with the pink hair; Jing's Company has the worst reputation in the entertainment industry, and there are frequent rumors of it sexually harassing celebrities.
At that moment, everyone secretly rejoiced that they hadn't noticed the young lady's unusual behavior, hadn't been presumptuous, and hadn't accepted the ring.
Otherwise, facing these two lawless young masters would ruin my life.
Ye Qingyu realized from the deathly silence that no one would stand up to explain for her, and even if someone did, the two young masters wouldn't listen.
They are always so autocratic and domineering.
So this job was messed up again.
"Speak up!" the leader slammed his hand on the table impatiently. "Isn't there evidence?! Show me the evidence!!"
"You don't have one, do you? Then give the ring back to Young Master Lu and kowtow to admit your mistake right now!"
"Hurry up!!"
While Ye Qingyu was being scolded by her boss, Lu Ran leaned back in his chair, took out his phone, and idly refreshed the messages on SSL, as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.
Jing Lin, on the other hand, looked on with amusement, as he was the one who knew the whole story best. However, he didn't do anything special, only concealing some less important information.
However, Ye Qingyu remained silent in the face of her leader's reprimand.
Where is the stuff?
"Where's the stuff??"
"Ye Qingyu, don't force me to take action!!!"
Seeing that Ye Qingyu still didn't move, the leader had already ordered his subordinates to surround Ye Qingyu, intending to forcibly search her body or even force her to apologize.
The people surrounding her were somewhat intimidated. This tall girl was indeed quite strong, and when she had a cold expression, it inexplicably sent chills down their spines, making them hesitant to approach her. But when one of them finally mustered the courage to grab Ye Qingyu, the previously silent Ye Qingyu suddenly made a move that surprised everyone.
She took out a ring from her pocket and, in full view of everyone, swallowed it!
"Ye Qingyu!!"
The leader is so greedy he's practically eating people alive!
Is this guy an idiot?! He should just admit his mistake and be done with it. Why is he arguing with this privileged class? What good does it do him?
Because of Ye Qingyu's action, many leaders had already stood up in a hurry. However, Ye Qingyu simply raised her chin and looked at Lu Ran, whose face had suddenly darkened, from a distance of more than ten meters.
Of course she knew about his relationship with Pei Ci.
Everyone knows about Anta School.
Since enrolling in school, she had been bullied, suppressed, and insulted because of an accident. When that gentle, mist-like girl handed her the ring, reason told her that it was dangerous, but the thought of how crazy that pack of mad dogs would go afterward made her blood boil.
Across a long black table several meters away, Ye Qingyu spoke loudly to the tense-faced young master, "This is mine."
It belongs only to me.
Thus, Lu Ran strangely felt a strong provocation from a commoner girl.
A provocation directed at something you cherish.
He pursed his lips, his eyes cold.
The atmosphere was tense and ready to explode.
Upon receiving Lu Ran's emotions, Jing Lin pushed the atmosphere to a climax. Originally a carefree and irresponsible person, he kicked over the chair of the leader next to him.
He was young, looked rather immature, and had an unserious manner, looking like a high school student. But when he suddenly became angry with a cold face, it startled the leader so much that he froze.
"Mr. Chen, I never expected your company to have such an unreasonable employee."
"It's truly an eye-opener."
"My fault, my fault," Mr. Chen bowed and scraped to his future boss. "He'll definitely be taught a lesson! He's really gone too far!"
Jing Lin's eyes flickered, and he replied lazily in a drawn-out tone, "You?"
Mr. Chen understood immediately and slapped himself. "Look what I said. Of course, he should be left to the two young masters to deal with. Young Master Jing, you can take him away directly. Don't worry about me."
While Manager Chen was speaking, Ye Qingyu was already firmly pressed down, like a frog with its belly exposed about to be dissected.
Jinglin nudged Lu Ran's arm, yawning as he asked, "Brother Lu, what do you think we should do?"
Lu Ran's expression hadn't improved since the ring was swallowed by Ye Qingyu. It was one thing for that bitch's filthy hands to touch the ring, but to actually dare to eat it!
How dare someone as lowly as Ah Ci touch her things?!
In a lawless country, he would have ruthlessly slashed her stomach with a knife. But after all, the marriage certificate they would obtain later depended on the effectiveness of the law. Lu Ran endured it all, his noble face cold, and said indifferently, "If you've swallowed it, you'll have to spit it out."
"Okay, I'll take him to the hospital to wash right away..."
"No need." Lu Ran tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table. "Beat him until he vomits blood."
These words were spoken.
Everyone quieted down.
They had witnessed privilege before, but it was always disguised as a sugar-coated bullet. It was only when privilege was exposed so blatantly that they realized how worthless some people's lives were.
Just as his subordinates were exchanging glances and preparing to take action, Lu Ran's phone rang.
