princess is glamorous in the modern day
Chapter 221: The Princessâs Domineering Revenge
Only then did Xia Wanyuan look at Ruan Nian and meet a pair of eyes that revealed obvious lust.
Ruan Nianâs parents did not control their sonâs actions at all. Instead, they defended him.
âOur son is young and insensible. Youâre already an adult, donât be calculative with him.â
With his parents backing him, Ruan Nian became even more arrogant. âWe were just casually sparring. Who would have thought that Xia Yuâs body was so weak? You canât blame me for this.â
âBullsh*t! If you didnât bring more than ten people to beat me upâ¦â Halfway through his sentence, Xia Yu received the strict gaze of the dean and retracted his hand.â beat me up together, would I have let a piece of trash like you beat me up?! â
Ruan Nian had actually planned this for a long time.
After Xia Yu entered Catâs Tooth Live-stream, he had been unstoppable and had become the most popular broadcaster on the Catâs Tooth Platform. His skills and looks had attracted a large number of Ruan Nianâs fans.
Initially, at Di Fan University, everyone knew that he, Ruan Nian, was a very popular broadcaster. In the end, he became Xia Yuâs accompaniment. When everyone spoke of Ruan Nian, they felt like they were watching a joke. Ruan Nian hated him to the core.
Coupled with the recent broadcast of the drama âThe Long Balladâ, everyone online praised Xia Wanyuan. Ruan Yingyu, who was originally the female lead, was ignored. Ruan Yingyu often cursed Xia Wanyuan at home, making Ruan Nian hate the siblings even more.
Hence, that morning, Ruan Nian had contacted his brothers in advance to wait for Xia Yu at the court. Knowing that Xia Yu was defending Xia Wanyuan, Ruan Nian said a few dirty words about Xia Wanyuan, which immediately ignited Xia Yuâs anger.
This was what Ruan Nian wanted. After all, Xia Yu was the one who had started the commotion at the school. He was just defending himself.
Xia Yu and his roommates couldnât compare to the other partyâs dozen or so people. However, Xia Yu was ruthless and had the wildness of a wolf, which made the other party suffer quite a bit.
Although the price was Xia Yu himself being injured.
Xia Wanyuan saw Ruan Nianâs expression and roughly guessed what had happened. She stepped forward and pulled Xia Yuâs hand. The bruises on his arm were shocking.
Xia Wanyuanâs expression instantly turned cold.
âItâs nothing. Itâs just a small injury. If they didnât have so many people, I would have definitely beaten him until he spat out his dog teeth.â Xia Yu retracted his hand nonchalantly. Because it affected his wound, he frowned in pain.
âWhy are you hitting people the moment you open your mouth? Parents like you mustâ¦â Seeing Xia Yu start talking about the fight again, the dean tried to persuade Xia Wanyuan. However, unexpectedly, Xia Wanyuan suddenly moved halfway.
Ruan Nian was still looking at the full curves of Xia Wanyuanâs chest lustfully.
Unexpectedly, Xia Wanyuan suddenly turned around and kicked him off the chair.
No one present had expected Xia Wanyuan to suddenly do this. Ruan Nianâs parents reacted and hurriedly pulled Xia Wanyuan. However, Xia Wanyuan was much faster than them and pushed Ruan Nianâs arms inwards.
Ruan Nian clearly heard the sound of bones breaking in his arm and immediately screamed.
âStop screaming. If you continue screaming, it wonât be as simple as a fracture. If you donât want your hand anymore, continue screaming.â
When she entered, she saw that Xia Yu was covered in injuries, while Ruan Nian was fair and clean. There were no wounds at all. Since he was the one who started the matter, she should make him suffer.
Xia Wanyuan knew her limits. It hurt a lot to have his arm broken, but the injury was not serious. It was just that it would take a hundred days for Ruan Nian to properly use his hands.
Hearing Xia Wanyuanâs cold voice, Ruan Nian hurriedly shut his mouth. However, the pain of his bones breaking was practically drilling into his heart. Ruan Nianâs face was filled with hideous pain.
âIs there still any law?!!!â Ruan Nianâs parents were shocked by Xia Wanyuanâs actions. They wanted to go forward but were afraid that Ruan Nianâs arm would hurt.
âApologize to Xia Yu,â Xia Wanyuanâs voice sounded.
âIâm sorry.â Ruan Nian was in a daze from the pain. He just wanted Xia Wanyuan to let him off quickly, so he did whatever Xia Wanyuan said.
Xia Yu was stunned by Xia Wanyuanâs actions. However, he had to admit that he felt that his sister was really cool.
âYouâre already an adult, yet you still use ignorance as an excuse. No wonder parents like you raised such a son.â Xia Wanyuan glanced coldly at Ruan Nianâs parents, making oneâs heart turn cold.
âTeacher, Iâll give you an explanation after I figure out what happened. Iâll take my younger brother away first.â Xia Wanyuan greeted the dean and gestured for Xia Yu to follow her.
âThis, this, thisâ¦â The dean was first shocked by Xia Wanyuanâs beauty, then shocked by her valiant actions, and could not react in time.
He looked at Ruan Nian and his family, who were flustered and crying.
He was too worried. The dean felt that the Mediterranean area above his head had expanded greatly.
âSister Xia.â
Su Mei and the rest had been waiting outside the office. They were also there when the fight broke out. However, that group of people was specially targeting Xia Yu and were targeting him. They did not have much combat ability and were completely ignored by the other party.
âMm, hello. Iâll bring Xia Yu back to treat his wound. Iâll treat you guys to a meal when I have time.â
âSister Xia, this is for you.â Su Mei took out a USB from his pocket. âI started recording since I met Ruan Nian. This is evidence of his provocation.â
Ruan Nian used to have a dark history of bullying others because he was a broadcaster and had some fans.
Su Mei had always hated Ruan Nian. Furthermore, as Xia Yuâs live-stream became more and more popular, Ruan Nian often mentioned Xia Yu during his live-stream. The sourness in his words filled the live-stream.
Hence, when he met Ruan Nian on the field, Su Mei deliberately paid attention and turned on the recording button on his phone. He recorded Ruan Nianâs words because he was afraid that Ruan Nian would play the blame game in the end.
âOkay, thank you.â Xia Wanyuan took the USB and smiled. Her beauty made the boys in front of her feel embarrassed.
âSister, youâre too cool. Where did you learn those moves? Teach me.â On the car back to the manor, he recalled Xia Wanyuanâs domineering attitude just now. Although there was a wound on his face, it could not hide the look in Xia Yuâs eyes.
When he was young, he had always been the one who scolded others for being a bastard. Today was the first time someone had stood in front of him to defend him and help him fight back.
âThereâs no need to force yourself to be strong next time.â Xia Yu was disappointed by Xia Wanyuanâs words. Sister still blamed me for doing it.
âIf you canât win, it wonât be too late to return and get reinforcements before fighting back,â Xia Wanyuan added. Xia Yuâs eyes returned to their usual brightness.
âMm!â Xia Yuâs eyes lit up as he nodded at Xia Wanyuan.
Meanwhile, the Ruan family was in an uproar because of her precious grandson and sonâs injury. When Ruan Yingyu heard about this, she got her father to call the police.
Before Xia Wanyuan returned to the manor, the relevant agents called.
Uncle Wang hung up the phone in confusion.
What did Madam do??
After a moment of confusion, Uncle Wang immediately reported this to Jun Shiling.
Chapter 222: The Princess Was Caught?
Ruan Nian had never suffered like this since he was young. He screamed loudly in the hospital.
The police received the call. Under the deliberate exaggeration of the Ruan family, the police hurriedly stepped out and intercepted Xia Wanyuan and Xia Yuâs car at a traffic light.
If they were a step late, Xia Wanyuanâs car would have entered the Jun familyâs protection and they would not have been able to find any traces.
âAre you Xia Wanyuan? Weâve received a report that youâre suspected of intentional injury. Please come with us.â The police gestured for the chauffeur to open the car window. He was caught off guard by Xia Wanyuanâs face.
How could a young lady who looked so gentle and weak get reported for deliberately injuring someone else? The police were confused.
âIâll go with you. My younger brother is injured. Let him go back and bandage it first,â Xia Wanyuan replied calmly and got out of the car.
Xia Yu wanted to follow Xia Wanyuan worriedly, but Xia Wanyuan stopped him with a glance. He could only sit in the car obediently.
The police car stopped in front of the traffic light, attracting a crowd.
The moment Xia Wanyuanâs outstanding appearance appeared, it triggered a heated discussion.
The drama âThe Long Balladâ had a certain degree of fame. A few steps after Xia Wanyuan alighted and got into the police car, she was recognized as the Heavenly Spirit Princess Shen Pei. Everyone hurriedly took out their phones to take photos.
âI actually met the Heavenly Spirit Princess Xia Wanyuan on the way today, but what did she do? She actually left with the police car.â
The accompanying picture was of Xia Wanyuan following the police into the police car.
[ The person in front watching the show, did she commit a crime? Donât tell me sheâs taking drugs? She looks a little thin. ]
[ The person in front, whatâs the matter? Have you ever seen a person who takes drugs look so rosy and energetic? Itâs fine if you donât have eyes, but you donât have brains either. ]
[ Fans of the novel are just passing by. Please separate the two dimensions from the three dimensions. Thank you. The Heavenly Spirit Princess is not Xia Wanyuan. Donât mix the two together and give us fans some respect. ]
[ Itâs a little far. Xia Wanyuan is really good-looking. The quality of the bloggerâs phone canât hide her outstanding temperament. She must look so good in person. ]
This Weibo post that praised Xia Wanyuan for her beauty received a reply from the blogger. âI can tell you one hundred percent that sheâs super good-looking in person. Sheâs ten thousand times better looking than the photos. I swear Iâve never seen such a good-looking person in my life!!â
After spending so much public relations fees, they had still not been able to shake Xia Wanyuanâs status at all. Strawberry Entertainment had basically given up on Ruan Yingyu.
Unexpectedly, this excellent opportunity was delivered. The public relations department immediately contacted many marketing accounts.
The search term for Xia Wanyuan was originally âI am a Big Starâ, but it suddenly became âXia Wanyuan has been arrestedâ.
The marketing accounts posted many photos of Xia Wanyuan getting into the police car online and started rumors.
âAccording to sources, Xia Wanyuan was arrested for taking drugsâ¦â
âAccording to someone⦠Xia Wanyuanâ¦â
â¦â¦.
Although there was no evidence and only ârumorsâ, it still caused a huge commotion. After all, the entertainment industry had never tolerated celebrities taking drugs.
Various guesses rose into the air as more and more people discussed. Many people took the opportunity to gossip about Xia Wanyuanâs past scandals.
Just as everyone was gradually getting angry at Xia Wanyuan, Ruan Yingyu posted on Weibo, pushing this anger to its peak.
Chapter 223: Locked in the Interrogation Room
Ruan Yingyu knew what her younger brother was like. Ruan Nian often played with a group of young masters in society and had often used their power to bully others.
However, this time, Ruan Nian called Ruan Yingyu and swore that Xia Yu had attacked first. Even the dean of the school thought that Xia Yu was the culprit. Only then did Ruan Yingyu relax and promise Ruan Nian that she would give him an explanation.
@ Ruan Yingyu: â@ Xia Wanyuan, as a junior, Iâve always been very respectful to you. When we were on the production team, I would even buy tea and desserts for everyone every day. But I really didnât expect you to treat my younger brother like this!! It was just two children who had a conflict on the court. Why did an adult like you get involved and beat up my younger brother to such a state?!! (Crying) I had a good relationship with my younger brother since we were young. Now that I see Nian Nian lying in the hospital and living a life worse than death, my heart aches!!! You must give me an explanation!â
There were two photos attached to Weibo. One of them was an x-ray photo of the hospital, and one could clearly see the signs of bones breaking. The other was a direct photo of Ruan Nianâs arm. It was especially swollen, and it looked painful.
The Chinese entertainment industry was relatively more restrained. There were very few celebrities who personally went to quarrel like the foreign celebrities. No matter how deep the conflicts were usually, they could still live with dignity.
Ruan Yingyuâs direct call for Xia Wanyuan attracted many spectators.
When everyone saw Ruan Yingyuâs Weibo photos, they were all shocked.
[ Oh my god!!! Does the law still exist? Xia Wanyuan is too cruel! ]
[ I canât believe it. One second, I was still watching her quietly sitting on the sofa and eating potato chips. She was so quiet and gentle, but the next second, she actually let me see her beat up her younger brother to this extent. Thatâs too scary. ]
[ Yuâer, donât cry. Our hearts ache whenever you cry. Brother, get well quickly. Xia Wanyuan will be punished by the law. How can a woman be so cruel? ]
[ It hurts to watch. Xia Wanyuan has really gone too far! Isnât that âIâm a Big Starâ doing voting? Letâs go and vote for her opponent and eliminate her in the first round. We canât let such a disgusting person advance. ]
Everyone responded to this comment. As they denounced Xia Wanyuan, they voted for her other opponents.
Soon, everyone voted for her opponent on the first Weibo episode of âI am a Big Starâ, leaving Xia Wanyuan behind.
At the same time, the trending topic of âXia Wanyuan hitting Ruan Yingyuâs younger brotherâ was pushed up. Together with the trending topic âXia Wanyuan was arrestedâ, everyone finally understood why Xia Wanyuan had gotten into the police car.
The comments were filled with applause and cheers. They all hoped that the police would punish Xia Wanyuan severely.
Tang Yin and Chen Yun were dealing with the potato chips company when they suddenly changed their tune and said that Xia Wanyuanâs image was bad and they wanted to stop the cooperation.
Chen Yun clicked into the trending topic skillfully and indeed saw the trending topic that made his eyes go blank.
âOh my god, how did she beat up Ruan Yingyuâs younger brother??â
âLetâs go to the police station to understand the situation first. Wanyuan isnât such an impulsive person.â
âOkay, letâs go.â
After receiving a call from Uncle Wang, Jun Shiling stopped the meeting and rushed to the police station with Lin Jing.
ââââ
âCome here and sit properly. Tell me, why did you hit the child?â In the police station, the young policeman asked routinely.
âHe started it first,â Xia Wanyuan said calmly.
The young policeman looked up and met a face that was as cold as snow. His ears turned red. âYou, do you have any evidence? Even if he attacked first, would it be right to fight? You can call our police.â
âThere was no time. He deserves a beating.â
ââ¦â The young policeman didnât have much experience. He was momentarily speechless by Xia Wanyuanâs words.
ââ
âHis second uncle, look, itâs this person who beat our Nian Nian up. You must seek justice for us.â
Just as the young policeman and Xia Wanyuan were in a deadlock, Father Ruan and a middle-aged policeman walked over.
âDeputy Captain Ruan.â The young policeman stood up and bowed. He looked at Xia Wanyuan worriedly.
This Deputy Captain Ruan⦠His reputation in the police department was not good, but he was old and had some background. Normally, no one dared to offend him.
âBring her to the interrogation room,â Ruan Dan pointed at Xia Wanyuan and instructed the young policeman.
âDeputy Captain Ruan, this isnât appropriate. Sheâs not a suspect.â A look of disapproval flashed across the young policemanâs eyes.
âThis person has a stubborn mouth and the nature of her attacks is bad. If I say you can send her over, you can. Cut the crap.â
Since he had some authority, Ruan Dan, who was used to ordering his subordinates around, felt that he had lost face in front of Father Ruan when he saw the young policeman not cooperating. Hence, he spoke to the young policeman more sternly.
âCome with me.â The young policeman had just entered the police station. Although he was extremely disapproving, he had no choice but to follow Ruan Danâs orders.
Xia Wanyuan looked calm.
She was well-versed in the ways of politics and naturally knew that even a police station that symbolized fairness would be a little dirty.
Since the Ruan family dared to call the police even though they knew that their son had caused trouble, they must have the confidence to do so at the police station.
After what had happened to Supervisor Jin the previous time, Xia Wanyuan had Uncle Wang prepare an extremely hidden miniature recorder for her. Now, Ruan Danâs words were recorded without a word.
Xia Wanyuan obediently followed the young policeman into the interrogation room.
This place was completely different from the outside. When she was outside taking her statement, there was only a table between the police and her. Both parties were still on equal footing.
Meanwhile, in this interrogation room, there was a chair in an empty room. In front of it was a large lamp, and in front of the room was a relatively high table. The police and the person being interrogated had a clear relationship.
âIâm not a criminal. Why are you interrogating me here?â Xia Wanyuanâs eyes were filled with panic and fear. Her voice even trembled a little. One look and one could tell that she was a little girl who did not know anything about the world.
âItâll be done in a while.â Ruan Dan was amused by Xia Wanyuanâs fear. As expected, her calmness was just an act.
After dismissing the young policeman, Ruan Dan walked to Xia Wanyuan. âYoung lady, you have to pay the price for hitting someone from my Ruan family. Go in and confess as soon as possible, then you wonât suffer so much. If you donât confess, youâll suffer.â
With that, Ruan Dan pushed Xia Wanyuan into the interrogation room.
Chapter 224: Hero Saving the Beauty
The moment Xia Wanyuan entered, the light in the interrogation room lit up. Xia Wanyuan had never understood the modern police system, so this was the first time she was illuminated by such a bright light. She was stunned for a moment and narrowed her eyes in discomfort.
âTell me, why did you cause trouble and deliberately hurt Ruan Nian?â Ruan Dan knocked on the table hard. The heavy sound of a blow echoed in the empty interrogation room.
âIâm not a criminal. What right do you have to lock me up here?â
At that moment, the Xia Wanyuan in Ruan Danâs eyes was no longer as frightened as before. Instead, she was very calm. Confusion flashed across Ruan Danâs eyes, but when he thought of the three million Ruan Baoerâs father had promised him, he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.
âXia Wanyuan, Iâll be honest with you. Iâve temporarily switched off the camera here. Youâre so tender. If I give you a sentence or something, you wonât be able to take it. Do you see this piece of paper? Sign on it and Iâll let you go.â
Ruan Dan had been outstanding in the field of criminal investigation in the early years. Now that he was speaking to Xia Wanyuan in a domineering manner, if it was an ordinary person who was intimidated under such an environment, their mental defenses would definitely collapse.
Unexpectedly, Xia Wanyuan did not look afraid at all.
Even though he sat high and Xia Wanyuan sat low, Xia Wanyuanâs indifferent gaze made him look like he was the one who was at the bottom.
âSpeak!â Ruan Dan touched the baton beside him and knocked it hard on the table, causing his hand to turn numb.
Xia Wanyuanâs eyes turned cold. She entered a state of alertness and put down her crossed legs.
Get lost.â Xia Wanyuanâs red lips parted slightly as she spat out two words. Her gaze carried a sharpness as she pointed at Ruan Dan.
âI think youâre refusingâ¦â Ruan Dan was angered by Xia Wanyuan and stood up.
Bang!! The door of the interrogation room was kicked open. Ruan Dan stopped midway and looked at the door angrily. Who was so blind to dare to come over at this time?
In the end, he saw an extremely cold man in a suit walk in. The light at the door was a little dim, so he could not see the personâs face.
âWho are you?â Ruan Dan roared.
However, he did not expect that the cold man did not even glance at him and walked straight to Xia Wanyuan.
Seeing Xia Wanyuan frown slightly due to the strong light, Jun Shilingâs eyes turned as cold as ice. Lin Jing walked to the side and switched off the light.
What are you doing?!â Ruan Dan was about to speak when the cold man, who had his back facing him, suddenly turned around.
Seeing that handsome face, Ruan Dan was first stunned, then the fear in his eyes grew.
Isnât this the richest man in China, Jun Shiling!!! Heâs someone I canât afford to provoke in my life!
Jun Shilingâs eyes turned cold when he saw Ruan Danâs baton.
âYou want to hit her?â
âI, Iâ¦â No matter how stupid Ruan Dan was, he could tell from Jun Shilingâs expression that he was extremely angry.
Didnât they say that Xia Wanyuan was just a little celebrity whose family had gone bankrupt?! Why was she related to Jun Shiling?!
âCEO Jun, Iâm sorry. I just found out that you were here.â A middle-aged man rushed in.
âMinister Zhou.â Jun Shiling nodded slightly at the person.
âMinister Zhou?â Ruan Dan watched his superior appear and thought to himself, âItâs over.â
He felt sick and couldnât even hold the baton.
Chapter 225: Counterattack
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
âMinister Zhou, you have to properly manage this police station. You have to explain this private criminal hall.â
âYes, yes, yes. I wasnât strict enough. Donât worry, Iâll definitely investigate this matter thoroughly.â
Only then did Jun Shiling turn around and help Xia Wanyuan up. âLetâs go back.â
âMm.â Xia Wanyuan stood up. She had been illuminated by the strong light for too long and was a little dizzy, so she walked with Jun Shilingâs help.
However, when she reached the door, Xia Wanyuan suddenly stood still. âI was illuminated by that light for ten minutes.â Xia Wanyuan pointed at the big lights in the house that had already been turned off.
âRuan Dan setting up the punishment hall is a crime worthy of its name. We will interrogate him here.â For Minister Wang to be able to sit in this position, his ability to observe peopleâs expressions was naturally top-notch. He hurriedly responded.
Only then did Xia Wanyuan turn around.
The moment Jun Shiling and the rest left, Ruan Dan was detained and interrogated for a full ten hours in the interrogation room before stopping. When they left the interrogation room, Ruan Dan felt that his eyes were filled with halos.
âAre you feeling better?â Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan worriedly.
âIâm fine.â She was still a little dizzy when she left the police station just now. Now that she had adapted to the light outside, she was fine.
Chen Yun and Tang Yin experienced the long traffic jam in Beijing and finally arrived at the police station. However, they were told that Xia Wanyuan had been taken away.
The two of them thought about it and guessed that it was Jun Shiling. Only then were they relieved.
When they returned to the manor, Xia Yu was wrapped up like a dumpling with bandages all over him.
Xiao Bao squatted curiously by the sofa and carefully touched Xia Yuâs bandage. âUncle, are you a mummy? Youâre so cool.â
âJun Yin, your uncle is injured. Donât touch him,â Jun Shiling scolded softly, afraid that Xiao Baoâs hand would not be gentle.
âOkay.â Xiao Bao retracted his hand, his big eyes filled with concern. âUncle, does it hurt? Iâll blow on it for you.â
With that, Xiao Bao gently blew on Xia Yuâs bandaged hand. His cheeks puffed up cutely.
âMaster Jun, Madam, Iâve already treated Young Master Xiaâs wound. Itâs just a superficial wound. You donât have to worry too much, heâll be fine after resting.â
Shen Xiu instructed as he packed his tools.
âThank you for your hard work.â Xia Wanyuan walked forward and was relieved to see that Xia Yu was fine. âHave you taken the photos I asked you to take?â
âI did. I asked Doctor Shen to take it for me. Sister, let me tell you. That photo looks too terrible,â Xia Yu said and wanted to show Xia Wanyuan the phone on the table.
âUncle, donât move. Iâll get it for you.â Xiao Bao sensibly handed the phone to Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan clicked on it and saw that the wound had been photographed so shockingly. Xia Wanyuan looked at Shen Xiu in admiration.
Not only did Doctor Shen have high medical skills, but he also had excellent photography skills.
The commotion on Weibo grew. Although Ruan Yingyu and Xia Wanyuan were not big celebrities, the show-watchers would never let a female celebrity beat up another female celebrityâs younger brother and two female celebrities tear each other apart.
Seeing that there was no response from Xia Wanyuanâs side for a long time, everyone rushed to the Weibo account of the Yangan District Public Security Bureau that had taken Xia Wanyuan away, urging the Public Security Bureau to quickly give the public an explanation.
At the same time, Tang Yin and Chen Yun finally sorted out the information and evidence that Xia Wanyuan had sent over.
âSend it?â
âSend! Letâs see how they will argue this time.â
Hence, just as public opinion was about to boil, Xia Wanyuanâs Weibo suddenly updated.
