One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

Liu Yan harrumphed coldly and suddenly walked up to Bai Shilan.

She raised her hand.

“Slap!”

A fierce slap landed viciously on Bai Shilan’s face.

Bai Shilan looked at her incredulously, “You… you hit me?”

Her voice was somewhat shrill.

In the past, she was often bullied.

But these past few years, after being with La Jingzhou, wherever she went she was chased after and held in high esteem, never having suffered such indignity!

Even if Liu Yan was La Jingzhou’s legitimate fiancée.

Yet, La Jingzhou had never allowed Liu Yan to confront her this way, let alone subject her to such humiliation!

Bai Shilan subconsciously glanced at La Jingzhou.

She thought that La Jingzhou would, as he had every time before, protect her.

But this time.

There was a flash of heartache that passed involuntarily through La Jingzhou’s eyes.

However.

Remembering Bai Shilan’s words, his expression turned completely cold.

Wanting to flee from him.

Wanting to climb another high branch, are you?

Then go ahead and try!

He turned his head away, pretending not to see.

Bai Shilan’s heart sank to the bottom.

Desperation flickered in the depths of her eyes.

La Jingzhou had professed his love for her over and over.

But in the end?

He just watched indifferently as another woman hit her!

This was La Jingzhou’s love!

Liu Yan sneered coldly, “It was me, I hit you. What about it?”

She raised her hand and slapped Bai Shilan again.

“You…” Bai Shilan made a move as if she were mad, trying to rush forward.

Liu Yan was ruthlessly unapologetic, kicking her squarely in the chest. Her eyes shimmered with extreme satisfaction.

After being deceived by these two despicable people, La Jingzhou and Bai Shilan, for so long, now she had finally let out a bit of the pent-up malice!

But.

This was just the beginning.

These two people.

She would not let either of them off.

Those who plotted against the Liu Family’s fortunes must be ready to face retribution!

Bai Shilan suddenly found herself sitting on the ground, utterly bewildered.

“Can you… get up first?” A somewhat weak voice sounded.

Bai Shilan turned her head and saw Ye Lin with a pained expression.

A tremor ran through her.

Was Ye Lin feeling sorry for her?

In the end, the kindest to her was Ye Lin!

Bai Shilan said with some emotion, “Brother Ye, you don’t have to worry about me. I’m fine. I’m used to this kind of humiliation.”

She looked resilient and kind.

Ye Lin’s expression became even more pained, “But… you’re sitting on my foot.”

Bai Shilan was stunned for a moment, then quickly scrambled up.

Ye Lin’s expression finally relaxed a bit, and feeling his work here was done, he tried to slip away.

Unexpectedly, Bai Shilan grabbed hold of him.

Ye Lin’s body stiffened.

He rotated his head robotically, one click at a time.

Bai Shilan looked at him with tears streaming down her face, “Brother Ye. You’ve seen it. Miss Liu dared to do this to me in front of so many people. In private, my life is really not like a human being’s. Please, save me.”

Ye Lin numbly looked towards Ye Bolin.

Ye Bolin didn’t speak.

He didn’t know what to do in this situation.

Ye Bolin merely revealed a mysteriously unfathomable smile.

Ye Lin’s heart had nothing left but collapse.

Why.

Why did he have to go home?

Why couldn’t he just keep working?

Could he even get through another day?

Luckily,

Before he could speak, Liu Yan had already said with a cold voice, “Bully you? When you falsely accused Jingzhou just now, without any evidence, did you think about facing this moment? If we hadn’t overheard you outside, the damage you could have done to Jingzhou’s reputation doesn’t bear thinking about! Even hitting you is too light of a punishment.”

Framing La Jingzhou?

Bai Shilan glanced at La Jingzhou.

La Jingzhou’s gaze settled on the hand Bai Shilan was holding Ye Lin’s with, and a cold smile played at the corner of his lips.

The unruly canary needed a good lesson after all.

Only this way.

Would she realize who her true master was.

Bai Shilan’s grip on Ye Lin’s hand tightened slightly.

Ye Lin inhaled sharply.

Crap!

Why was this woman’s grip so strong?

He stood there, somewhat helplessly lost in thought.

When would all these days finally come to an end!

“I don’t think Shilan was necessarily slandering,” Ye Xiao said, placing the rest of the sunflower seeds into Gu Yan’s hands before standing up valiantly.

She charged in front of Bai Shilan, staring at Liu Yan with a furious face, “It seems to me that you are the one talking nonsense! Shilan has suffered such a grievance, what right do you have to say she’s slandering?”

“Xiaoxiao!”

Bai Shilan was moved instantly.

She could never have imagined, at this moment, it would be Ye Xiao standing in front of her.

Ye Xiao patted her shoulder, righteously stating, “You’re my friend, and I invited you to this banquet. I absolutely will not allow anyone to hurt you!”

Bai Shilan’s eyes suddenly brimmed with tears.

Liu Yan let out a cold snort and said, “Miss Ye, are you going to defend her? She slandered Jingzhou with baseless accusations just now. How do you explain that? You say she didn’t slander, where’s the proof? Do you have any evidence?!”

Liu Yan pressed aggressively.

La Jingzhou frowned.

He had originally wanted to teach Bai Shilan a lesson, so he had observed coldly from the sidelines.

But if Liu Yan kept pressuring her this aggressively…

La Jingzhou suddenly had a very bad premonition.

He was about to say something.

But Ye Xiao angrily cut in, “Evidence? Of course we have evidence! Just you wait!”

She turned her head to Bai Shilan, “Shilan, don’t be afraid! Take out the evidence of how he bullied you, and let everyone have a good look!”

Bai Shilan’s face turned pale, her lips pressed tightly together.

Liu Yan immediately began to mock, “Look at her; does she seem like she has evidence? This woman is just slandering our Jingzhou! Bai Shilan, oh Bai Shilan, you really are foolish. Have you forgotten that you’re still an artist under Huanyu? Slandering your own boss – if you do something like this, I’ll make sure the company freezes your contract once you get back! You can forget about working in this industry from now on.”

Malice filled Liu Yan’s eyes.

La Jingzhou felt more and more that something was not right, and he parted his lips to speak.

Liu Yan cut him off, “Jingzhou! I know you’re a good person and always too soft-hearted. But this matter affects your reputation; it’s really serious!”

Liu Yan took out her phone and waved it around, “I happened to make a recording at the door just now! Once this recording is released, the board will definitely pass the decision to freeze her.”

La Jingzhou’s lips began to tremble.

Liu Yan actually… made a recording???

“Jingzhou, I’m doing all of this for your sake. Don’t worry about it, I’ll take care of everything,” Liu Yan said with a face full of concern.

La Jingzhou was at a loss for words for a moment.

Liu Yan… seemed to really have his best interests at heart?

In the moment of his hesitation, Liu Yan turned her head and continued to threaten Bai Shilan, “Just you wait! With the recording as evidence, not only will I have you frozen, but I will also sue you for defamation of Jingzhou’s reputation. Then you can wait to go to jail.”

Recording…

Going to jail…

Bai Shilan’s grip tightened again.

Ye Lin looked up at the ceiling, utterly desolate.

Let it end.

Let all this end quickly.
