"Ah!" At noon, the blazing sun shone through the tree branches, casting bright spots of light onto the ground.
Fang Ru lowered her head, stepped on the spots of light, and let out a cold laugh.
“You know, I’ve never cared.”
Chen Yuqi found that he understood Fang Ru less and less. In his view, her revenge was just anger and embarrassment after being rejected.
Fang Ru was a proud daughter of heaven, but she never expected that she would be defeated by a mere apprentice.
"So what do you want to do? What else do you want to do?"
After his initial outburst of anger, Chen Yuqi reverted to his usual calm demeanor, speaking in a very cold tone.
"So, Chen Yuqi, can you leave here with a clear conscience?"
Fang Ru hated Chen Yuqi and wished she could drag him down with her, and she actually did just that.
She thought this man was someone she could bully at will, that he didn't care if he didn't see her or love her.
She watched as she used her power to make this seemingly inflexible man bow his head time and time again, and as his eyes grew colder and colder, she felt a perverse pleasure.
But he's actually leaving?
She didn't even allow it, so how could he possibly escape this quagmire?
"If it was me who rejected you back then that made you hate me, you should have vented all your anger after doing so many things."
Don't let me implicate others.
What Chen Yuqi really wanted to say was, "Haven't I vented enough yet?"
Even though he never understood this crazy woman, he knew that once he said those words, things would not end easily.
"No, that's not true!"
Fang Ru retorted sharply, but then fell silent, realizing that what he said was not wrong.
"If you want revenge, take it out on me. My master has nothing to do with this."
Chen Yuqi was exhausted. He was overjoyed that his family was about to escape their suffering and thought he could start a new life. But all of this came to an abrupt end when he met Fang Ru.
"You can hate me and take revenge on me, but there's really no need to involve my master."
Do you think I'm crazy?
Chen Yuqi didn't answer, but his eyes clearly said, "What else?"
"Chen Yuqi, stop pretending. I admit I forced you at first, but can you honestly say you weren't even slightly addicted afterward?"
Fang Ru almost went hysterical as she watched his increasingly indifferent expression.
When Yang Hua first brought Chen Yuqi into the machinery factory, he had endured more than a year of various hardships and farm work, and was almost starving to the point of being unrecognizable.
People in the machine factory looked down on this apprentice, and because he was taciturn and Yang Hua's apprentice, many people bullied him.
Chen Yuqi didn't make a big fuss. He studied hard and practically lived in the factory. He quickly stood out among a group of apprentices, and Yang Hua made him a temporary worker just a few months later.
This made him even more hated, but after a period of recuperation, he slowly gained back the weight he had gained.
The apprenticeship was not easy, and Chen Yuqi gradually developed muscles all over his body, with broad shoulders and long legs, making him very good at fighting.
Soon no one dared to bully him anymore. Chen Yuqi thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief and live in this unfamiliar place with his sister, but he never expected to provoke Fang Ru.
The textile factory was a long-time client of Yang Hua. Once, she took Chen Yuqi to meet the factory's leader, and the leader's daughter, Fang Ru, immediately remembered the man.
Chen Yuqi has striking eyebrows and bright eyes, and a hint of melancholy often lingers on his face, making him particularly attractive to Fang Ru.
The moment Fang Ru saw him, her heart began to pound.
She had simply appeared in front of Chen Yuqi a little more frequently, and he quickly saw through her intentions, rejecting her when they were alone.
"Ms. Fang, I don't know what your purpose is, but I hope you won't appear in front of me so often anymore."
"Why?" He asked seriously, but Fang Ru didn't care.
"I don't want to get into any more trouble."
People in the factory already disliked him, and once they found out that Fang Ru was interested in him, they would only become more aggressive.
"It's alright, don't be afraid of them. I can make sure those people don't dare to gossip about you."
Chen Yuqi still firmly refused; he didn't need it.
Thinking things could end like this, Fang Ru thought he was considering other practical factors, and became more determined despite the setbacks.
Finally, Chen Yuqi lost her patience.
This isn't the cliché story of a rich girl who relentlessly pursues a poor boy until he finally wins his heart.
Chen Yuqi felt nothing but trouble.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you really think you can rise to the top and catch the eye of the young lady?"
Those who had been intimidated by his fists were filled with malice again. Chen Yuqi's work clothes, the repaired machines, and his tools were all broken or missing.
"Don't touch my things again."
"Oh, so you really think you've found a backer, acting all high and mighty."
"Take a good look at yourself in the mirror. What do you have besides a handsome face? Do you think the deputy factory director would even look at you?"
These things even affected his work. Yang Hua frowned as he looked at his young apprentice.
"What's wrong with you lately? You keep making mistakes, and you didn't even finish the drawing you made last time."
Yang Hua was a very strict person and couldn't stand seeing his apprentices being lazy, so he gave him a dressing down.
Chen Yuqi did not explain, but only assured her master that she would not make the same mistake next time.
"Brother" Xiaoshu had just transferred to the factory's affiliated school. After that year, she became introverted and had not yet integrated into her classmates.
However, she is also a very sensitive person, and during this period she suddenly felt the malice of some classmates towards her.
She didn't want to tell her brother.
But to his surprise, Chen Yuqi still found out, and just as he guessed, it was caused by Fang Ru's incident again.
Fang Ru was very proud and never thought that Chen Yuqi would reject her. She believed that perseverance would eventually win him over.
But when she went to find him again with great enthusiasm, she found Chen Yuqi's face full of disgust.
"Fang Ru, I believe I've made myself perfectly clear to you. I don't like you, and I don't want you to appear in front of me again. Can't you understand human language?"
Fang Ru calmed down in that instant. It turned out that he wasn't avoiding suspicion, but genuinely disliked her.
Her father was the deputy director of a huge textile factory, and her mother was the principal of the factory's school. They had a smooth and successful life and had never been treated with such disdain before.
