After dismissing her colleagues, Xue Juan opens the drawer and a key chain lays quietly inside.
It takes her more than half a yearâs salary to buy it. She takes out the key ring and puts it in her handbag. Since it is useless now, she can sell it. She has deliberately waited for Lang Ruoxian at the restaurant door before and asked him in front of many people whether Yan Hua has lost the key chain.
âIt is not hers.â Lang Ruoxian handed her the key chain, and added two more words for maintaining his public persona, âYou should take it to the cafe and ask if someone else has lost it.â
When Xue Juan took over the key chain, she bit her lip with an embarrassed air, and looked at Lang Ruoxian with careful eyes, âWhat if no one comes to claim the lost?â
âThen you keep it yourself.â After saying this, Lang Ruoxian nodded and left.
Xue Juan looked around and saw that everyone was staring at her. She let out a cry, covered her face and ran away. After that, the rumors that Lang Ruoxian might have a crush on a female college student and Cinderella would become a pretty princess began to spread inside the company.
After work, Xue Juan plans to go to a second-hand store in a nearby shopping mall, but a car stops beside her as soon as she gets out of the company and she is dragged in before she can react.
âHuang... Manager Huang?â Xue Juan panics and lies on the car seat. Isnât the man beside her Huang Wei who was transferred to the next city?
Huang Wei stares at her grimly, âDo you still remember me?â
âI...â Xue Juan sees that the car has left far away and the car door is locked, so she has to curl up to the side of the car door, âWhat do you want to do?â
âWhat do I want to do?â Huang Wei says with a smile, âItâs all because of you bitch. If you hadnât spoken ill of me in front of Lang Ruoxian, I wouldnât have been demoted.â
If it was just an ordinary demotion, he would have to accept the bad luck. But it was unknown whether Lang Ruoxian had said something, people in the branch all said that he was transferred because he molested Mr. Langâs woman.
Naturally, he has got a very hostile reception. His colleagues have sidelined him and his immediate superior has given him a cold shoulder. He hasnât been able to join all the business projects. How can he stand the salary drop from tens of thousands yuan a month ago to four or five thousand yuan now?
âThis has nothing to do with me!â Xue Juan says weakly, squeezing out two lines of tears, âI didnât say anything. I didnât know that you were transferred at all.â
âIt doesnât matter whether you say it or not.â Huang Wei loosens his tie, âYouâve made me to this extent. Why should I stand to see you to be had a crush on by Mr. Lang and marry into the rich and powerful family in the future? Ah... If he sees your lascivious look with a man on bed, do you think he still wants you?â
Xue Juan is stunned, and then cries, âYou canât do this to me. Mr. Lang has nothing to do with me. My colleagues just misunderstand our relationship.â
âIt doesnât matter.â Huang Wei squeezes her chin, âBehave yourself and you will suffer less later.â
While he says, he sticks out his tongue to lick Xue Juanâs face. Xue Juanâs face is full of tears. She cries and shakes her head.
Yan Hua brings Gungun with her to the yacht today, because just yesterday, they received a phone call from the girlâs parents. The girl committed suicide because of pressure. Yan Hua is discussing with Fei Ying what to do next when an employee named Li Qian comes up.
âBoss! Something goes wrong. The persons who we sent to tail after Huang Wei report that he has taken Xue Juan away from Lang Consortiumâs gate.â
âLetâs call the police?â Fei Ying looks at Yan Hua.
Yan Hua nods, âYou call the police and Iâll call Lang Ruoxian.â
Lang Ruoxian receives a call from Yan Hua and immediately asks Shu Sheng to drive, âWill you want to interfere this?â
âYes, I will.â Yan Hua tells him about the case just received by the foundation, âWe need to find Huang Wei and take him to court.â
âWell, then you wait for me at the dock and Iâll pick you up.â
Yan Hua has already been waiting at the dock when Lang Ruoxian arrives there.
âWhere is Gungun?â He helps Yan Hua into the car.
âFei Ying looks after him.â Yan Hua looks at him.
Lang Ruoxian starts the car, âWhy do you look at me like that?â
âThat... Will this matter affect the company?â
âNo, it wonât, for this is just personal behavior.â Lang Ruoxian touches her head, âBesides, if you blow the lid off, the company will whitewash the scandal.â
It is unknown who Shu Sheng has contacted. He always knows where to go. They reach the budget hotel where Huang Wei finally stayed.
âYoung Master, we have arrived.â
Lang Ruoxian opens the car door, âYou stay here and donât go up, because the police have been here. Iâll keep an eye on it.â
âYes, but you have to promise me not to get hurt like last time.â Yan Hua grabs him, âOtherwise... I will be angry.â
She thinks it inappropriate for her to appear, because Huang Wei hasnât known that the girlâs family have contacted them. In case he is stimulated, the loss will outweigh the gain.
âRest assured.â Lang Ruoxian approaches her, reaches out and rubs her earlobe, âNo one is worth me risking my life except you.â
Yan Hua blushes and glances at Shu Sheng, but Shu Sheng gets out of the car as if he has heard nothing.
âYou wait in the car obediently.â Lang Ruoxian tells her another word before entering the hotel with Shu Sheng.
Yan Hua sees two police cars parking nearby and the police are evacuating the crowd. She has a bad feeling. Huang Wei probably just wants to revenge Xue Juan, not to the point of madness. But if the police corner him...
Huang Wei really did not expect the police to be called.
âMr. Lang!â Xue Juan sees Lang Ruoxian come in and cries him in tears.
This makes Huang Wei furious. He turns around and slaps Xue Juan, âFucking bitch, you set me up!â
Under this kind of situation, he thinks that for Xue Juanâs sake, Lang Ruoxian revenges him and deliberately sets him up. Otherwise, why did the police come as soon as he arrived at the hotel...
âMr. Lang...â Huang Wei smiles, âLook, itâs all a misunderstanding. I didnât know this is your woman.â
He doesnât want to go to jail. He originally just wanted to revenge Xue Juan, but he didnât expect Lang Ruoxian to care so much about this woman.
You have to say, this is really a beautiful misunderstanding...
âLet her go.â Lang Ruoxian glances at Xue Juan, âYour transfer is companyâs decision, but you vent your anger on an employee whoâs not to blame.â
Huang Wei hears what Lang Ruoxian says, but it makes him even more sure that Lang Ruoxian has come here for the sake of Xue Juan. Now he has no other choices. He grinds his teeth and says, âMr. Lang, I can let her go. But you have to promise that the police wonât arrest me, or Iâll make a life-and-death struggle and everyone will suffer!â
âYou let her go first.â A police captain says, âThink about it. If you donât resist now, you will be regarded to illegally detain other people. But this young lady has not injured, so you will be kept in custody for a few months at most.â
Xue Juan nods vigorously, and the police captain adds, âBut if you resist, you will be regarded to kidnap other people, and you will be sentenced to stay in jail at least two years. You should consider it clearly yourself.â
âMr. Lang.â Huang Wei doesnât want to be put in jail even for one day. He asks Lang Ruoxian to give him a promise, âIf you promise me to forgive my past misdeeds, I will let her go immediately.â
The captain wants to say something, but Lang Ruoxian exchanges a glance with Shu Sheng and Shu Sheng calls the captain out. After a few minutes, the police withdraw, Lang Ruoxian also withdraws to the outside of the room.
âYou can go now, but Lang Consortium wonât let you stay.â
Huang Wei doesnât think about staying in Lang Consortium, since everyone suppresses him anyway. He has already transferred all his property and planned to go abroad.
âTo be honest, Mr. Lang, you donât have an eye for woman.â Huang Wei scornfully looks at Xue Juan who wails and whines, âIs such a woman worthy of your love? Gee! You rich peopleâs taste is really special.â
Lang Ruoxian frowns and catches Xue Juan who is pushed over. Huang Wei takes the chance to run away. Xue Juan clings to Lang Ruoxian, crying out of breath.
âMiss Xue.â Shu Sheng pulls Xue Juan away from Lang Ruoxianâs body.
Lang Ruoxianâs facial expression has already been very terrible. Shu Sheng is afraid that if he acts a little slowly, Xue Juan will be kicked out.
Yan Hua sits in the car and sees Huang Wei run across the road and drive away. Then Shu Sheng helps Xue Juan out. Yan Hua quickly gets out of the car and helps Xue Juan into the car.
âIs she okay?â She asks without sound.
Shu Sheng shakes his head.
Lang Ruoxian doesnât come out of the hotel until now. Yan Hua looks at him and feels strange, so she asks, âWhereâs your suit?â Why does he come out, wearing only a shirt?
âIt gets dirty.â Lang Ruoxian reaches out to help her get into the car, âLetâs go.â
No one notices that when Lang Ruoxian says that it gets dirty, Xue Juan who leans there makes a movement and even looks up at them. But when Yan Hua looks at her, her eyes are immediately full of panic.
âItâs all right. Donât be afraid.â Yan Hua coats her in a blanket, âHave you got hurt? Do you want to go to the hospital?â
Xue Juan shakes her head, shivering, âI... Iâm fine. Thank you, Miss Yan.â
âItâs good to be fine. Take a rest and weâll take you home.â
Halfway, Huang Rong has heard the news from someone. She has called Yan Hua and arrived at Xue Juanâs house earlier than they arrive.
âGod, are you ok? Itâs terrible.â She hugs Xue Juan and looks at her up and down carefully.
Yan Hua gives Xue Juanâs bag to her, âShe hasnât been injured. I guess she was scared. Please accompany her.â
âThank you!â Huang Rong grabs her hand and says, âYou saved us again.â
âThe company should bear half of the responsibility for this incident.â Lang Ruoxian opens his mouth and glances at Xue Juan, âTake a good rest and I shall give you a few days off. You can go back to work when you are in good condition.â
Xue Juan nods, âThank you, Mr. Lang.â
Lang Ruoxian turns to get on the car, and glances at Yan Hua.
âThen we shall leave first.â
When they get into the car, Yan Hua asks Lang Ruoxian, âWhatâs wrong with you?â
Lang Ruoxian looks at her with a faint smile. Even he says nothing, but the little woman realizes that something is wrong with him. It is obvious that she has taken him to her heart.
âWhy are you smiling...â Yan Hua feels somehow apprehensive when seeing his smile.
âIt doesnât matter.â Lang Ruoxian pinches her hand, âThat woman named Xue Juan...â
Yan Hua looks up.
âI think there is something wrong.â
âWhatâs wrong?â Yan Hua is taken aback because she doesnât expect to hear he say so.
Lang Ruoxian takes the opportunity to touch her face again, âIâll have someone check it out. Youâd better not get in touch with her recently.â
âI see.â Although she doesnât understand why he suddenly feels that there is something wrong with Xue Juan, but originally she and Xue Juan are just casual acquaintances.
The next day Yan Hua asks the court to issue a summons to Huang Wei.
âThis scum used to molest many female employees. Now he has no job. I hear that his wifeâs family is quite rich. If his wife knows about this, he will be finished.â
Seeing Yan Hua keeping silence, Fei Ying touches her, âWhatâs the matter?â
âI originally meant to let him pay the price, at least let people know that he is a scum. But under current situation, Iâm afraid the thing will become really big to make him so cornered to do something desperate.â
Since Huang Wei can kidnap Xue Juan, it shows that this person has been a little crazy, in case...
