Chapter 35

Are You Alright?

Shen Hanyu lowered his eyes and untied Sang Qianqian’s hands and feet. Then, he also removed the tape from her mouth.

The girl looked at him with tears, as if she couldn’t believe that he had suddenly appeared.

“Are you alright?”

Shen Hanyu asked in a deep voice. Why did he feel like she was scared out of her wits?

Sang Qianqian was in an awful state. She’d never been treated like this before.

She pursed her lips and wanted to cry, but when she realized who the person in front of her was, she tried her best to hold back her tears. “C-Can you help me contact Wen Xu?”

Shen Hanyu nodded and dialed Wen Xu’s number. He handed it to Sang Qianqian.

After much effort, Wen Xu was finally allowed to enter the Shengshi Club’s control room to check the surveillance cameras. He’d just found out where Sang Qianqian had gone and was rushing over with Han Tianyi.

When he saw the unknown number calling again, he picked it up. “Who’s that? If you have something to say, then say it!”

“Wen Xu, it’s me.”

Sang Qianqian tried her best to keep her voice calm. “Are you alright?”

She was afraid that Wen Xu would end up like her and be in trouble.

“Of course I’m fine. Are you alright, Sis?” he asked.

Wen Xu could tell that there was something wrong through her voice. “Sis, whose phone are you using to make the call? Are you still in room 9133?”

Wen Xu didn’t sound like he was in trouble. Sang Qianqian heaved a sigh of relief. “I’m still here.”

“Don’t move, Sis. Please wait for me there. Tianyi and I will be there in two minutes!”

On the other end of the phone, Shen Hanyu had picked up the two phones on the ground. One of the phone case cases was in the cherry blossom style, and it looked very familiar.

That night, when Sang Qianqian helped him with the PowerPoint presentation for the press conference, he’d seen her phone.

As for the other one, it was undoubtedly Ding Aojia’s.

Shen Hanyu opened the photo album and scrolled through it. His face immediately darkened.

He deleted all the photos and deleted the phone’s system.

Even if someone tried to recover the data on the phone, it’d be impossible.

“Who’s this person?”

Shen Hanyu’s cold eyes fell on Ding Aojia.

She was still young, but her methods were already so underhanded. He should’ve used more force with that kick.

“She’s... my ex-classmate from the international school.”

Just as Sang Qianqian was about to tell Shen Hanyu regarding the card, she heard footsteps outside the door. Wen Xu and Han Tianyi had already rushed in.

Wen Xu’s face darkened when he saw the scene in the room. “Shen Hanyu, you...” He said as he rushed over to Shen Hanyu.

Sang Qianqian quickly said, “It has nothing to do with him; It was Ding Aojia. She tricked me into coming here.”

She briefly explained the situation, and Wen Xu’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He rushed over, grabbed Ding Aojia, and gave her two tight slaps.

The pain woke Ding Aojia up. She panicked when she saw the person in front of her.

Wen Xu grabbed Ding Aojia. “Where were you going to send the photos you took of my sister?”

He clenched his fists so tightly that cracking sounds could be heard. “Think carefully before you answer,” he said gloomily.

Ding Aojia’s face was pale, and she stammered, “I-I was going to post it on the school website...”

In the past, Sang Qianqian was a dazzling presence in the international school, and many people admired and envied her.

However, if those photos of Sang Qianqian were to be leaked out, she’d be trampled under the feet of others. Her previous image would be destroyed.

This was the best humiliation that Ding Aojia could’ve imagined for Sang Qianqian.

Wen Xu was furious. “How can you be so vicious? I really want to kill you!”

He slapped Ding Aojia’s face a few more times. “I’ve never hit a woman, but today I’ll make an exception!”

Ding Aojia’s face quickly became red and swollen. She covered her face with her hands in pain and asked Han Tianyi for help.

“Tianyi, Wen Xu’s hitting me. Aren’t you going to do anything? I’m already engaged to you, Tianyi...”

Han Tianyi’s face was frighteningly dark. “From the beginning to the end, Qianqian only wanted you to apologize to Xia Sitong. I told you to get out of the Han family. The one who didn’t give you any face was me, not Sang Qianqian.”

He gritted his teeth. “If you want payback, you can come after me. Why’d you have to go after Qianqian?!”

“If she hadn’t stood up for Xia Sitong, you wouldn’t have treated me like that. It’s all her fault...” Ding Aojia never blamed Han Tianyi. Instead, she only hated Sang Qianqian.

Hearing the words ‘stand up for Xia Sitong’, Shen Hanyu raised his eyes and looked at Sang Qianqian.

On the other side, before Ding Aojia could finish her sentence, Han Tianyi lifted his leg and kicked Ding Aojia’s chest.

“Han Tianyi, how could you hit me like this?” Ding Aojia screamed.

“How could I? Since you can’t seem to believe it, make sure you watch closely as I hit you!”

Han Tianyi kicked Ding Aojia a few more times, almost with all his strength. After a short time, Ding Aojia was rolling on the ground in pain.

Chang San rushed in and protected Ding Aojia. “Young Master Han! Miss is your fiancée; how can you do this to her!”

Chang San had just gone to the bathroom to smoke a cigarette, but he didn’t expect the situation to change so suddenly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“What fiancée? If it weren’t for my dad, I wouldn’t even want to get engaged!”

Han Tianyi said coldly, “She’s so vicious. I don’t want anything to do with such a person!”

Ding Aojia had been beaten up badly, but those beatings weren’t as hurtful as Han Tianyi’s words.

She’d always been proud and arrogant, and when Han Tianyi told her to get lost in public, she had a thorn in her heart.

However, her love for Han Tianyi was still incomparable. When Han Shangrong proposed a marriage between the two families, Han Tianyi’s attitude towards her changed drastically. She thought that Han Tianyi liked her now.

After being slapped in the face by Han Tianyi again, Ding Aojia was so angry that her face turned pale, and her body trembled. “The Han family was the one who begged for the engagement. So who do you think wants anything to do with you?”

“Since we both hate each other, we might as well cancel the engagement!”

Han Tianyi was so angry that he’d forgotten Han Shangrong’s instructions.

Ding Aojia was stunned, but she refused to show weakness. “Then fine!”

No one had expected that the matter would end with Ding Aojia and Han Tianyi canceling their engagement.

The night Ding Aojia returned home, she asked her father to break off the engagement with the Han family, saying that she didn’t like Han Tianyi.

She did that because she knew she was in the wrong for tying Sang Qianqian up and taking those photos of her. Furthermore, she was afraid that Han Tianyi and Wen Xu would take revenge on her again, so she didn’t dare to tell her father the whole story and also ordered Chang San to keep quiet.

When Han Shangrong received the notice from the Ding family to break off the engagement, he immediately went to find Han Tianyi. He asked him if he’d offended Ding Aojia.

Han Tianyi told him everything that had happened. “I won’t take a woman like her as my wife!”

Han Shangrong was furious. He raised his hand and slapped Han Tianyi.

“What did I tell you? I told you to coax Ding Aojia, but you didn’t listen!”

Han Tianyi straightened his neck and looked at Han Shangrong fearlessly. “She’s not worth my efforts!”

Han Shangrong was furious; his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Speaking of which, Sang Pengcheng’s daughter was to blame for ruining his plans.

It seemed like the previous plan couldn’t be delayed any longer. If it was delayed any longer, there might be more variables!

…

The afternoon sun was scorching. Sang Qianqian stood under the shade of a tree outside Ming City University. She fanned herself from time to time.

A car stopped, and the person she’d been waiting for finally appeared in her line of sight. Sang Qianqian quickly ran over. “Shen Hanyu.”
