3271 Can't Figure It Out
However, when they arrived at the hospital and saw Shi Yuran. Shi Yuran stopped them from going to the police for help. She told them that those criminals had something on her, so they threatened her not to try to arrest them. If she dared to do that, they would expose her dirty secrets too.
Shi Yuran never told her parents what she had done before, because she was afraid that they would be mad at her.
However, now she had to be honest.
After hearing about her bad deeds, Shi Yuran's parents were furious. Nevertheless, they couldn't call the police or take revenge.
As soon as they did, not only would Shi Yuran be put in jail, but the Shi family would be greatly affected as well.
All in all, Shi Yuran asked for it herself.
"Why were you beaten by them?" asked Shi Yuran's father, Shi Guangnan.
"B-Because I paid them to beat Leng Xiaoyao," Shi Yuran admitted.
Upon hearing Leng Xiaoyao's name, Shi Yuran's parents realized that she harbored a grudge against Leng Xiaoyao ever since the party held by the Mo family.
The Shi family was indeed humiliated at the party that day, so they were also mad at Leng Xiaoyao, so they felt nothing when Shi Yuran tried to cause trouble for Leng Xiaoyao.
They were only confused about why those people paid by Shi Yuran to beat Leng Xiaoyao suddenly came to beat her?
Shi Guangnan asked, "Why did they beat you instead then?"
It seemed that Leng Xiaoyao wasn't simple since she was able to make those men beat Shi Yuran instead.
"They told me that Leng Xiaoyao is their head's friend," Shi Yuran said.
"What?"
Shi Yuran's parents were shocked. It turned out that Leng Xiaoyao was the head of the Qiao Gang, Ji Yanxi's friend.
How could a young girl like her form a close relationship with Ji Yanxi?
Did she do anything she couldn't mention?
No matter what, since Leng Xiaoyao was Ji Yanxi's friend, they had to carefully think about it if they wanted to get revenge.
It was not only the Shi family, any of the major families were basically in awe of the Qiao Gang.
The Qiao Gang respected those major families and would avoid having conflict with them, unless it was because of a conflict of interest or a serious problem.
"Honey, even if we can't call the police to punish those men, we can pay Leng Xiaoyao back! If it wasn't for her, Yuran wouldn't have been injured," said Mrs. Shi.
Even though Leng Xiaoyao and Ji Yanxi were friends, they were just friends. Since the Qiao Gang wasn't involved, she didn't think that Ji Yanxi would be willing to stand up for Leng Xiaoyao.
Anyway, they were unwilling to let Leng Xiaoyao get away with it.
Frowning Shi Guangnan said nothing. He had the same idea, but was worried.
After a long while, Shi Guangnan said, "We can talk about it later. Since Leng Xiaoyao has a good relationship with Ji Yanxi, it shouldn't be easy for us to pay her back. We can't suffer a double loss."
Shi Guangnan wasn't impulsive. He wouldn't take action until he was sure that he would win.
He made his judgments according to his abilities, but the result depended on his opponent's abilities.
Mrs. Shi was reluctant to accept the situation, but she didn't dare to disagree with her husband. Shi Yuran was the same. She hated Leng Xiaoyao to death right now.
Meanwhile, Leng Xiaoyao was on the phone with Li Mochen. She asked him about the situation in City Qin.
After all, it happened because of her, so Leng Xiaoyao cared about it.
Li Mochen told Leng Xiaoyao that he found nothing abnormal. Just like Leng Xiaoyao said, those people wouldn't arrive until a few days later.
Apart from that, Leng Xiaoyao didn't know what to say to Li Mochen. Li Mochen was also embarrassed. As a result, they fell into silence after several simple questions about each other's condition.
In order to not be even more embarrassed, Leng Xiaoyao made up an excuse that she needed to deal with other things and hung up.
Actually, they wanted to say more, but unfortunately they didn't know what to talk about.
After having the call, Leng Xiaoyao had an absent expression for a long while, then she started working. There were other game characters left to be drawn.
Li Mochen, on the other hand, didn't know what to do after the call. He couldn't help thinking about Leng Xiaoyao.
…
The next day, Leng Yuqi was absent from school again, so Jiang Yihan felt relieved.
She was much calmer when facing Chu Jiayu. However, Chu Jiayu didn't bother to greet her or give her a glance. Chu Jiayu was in no mood to talk to Jiang Yihan.
Jiang Yihan understood and stayed away from her.
The day passed quickly. Leng Xiaoyao focused on studying for the whole day. She didn't help her classmates with reviews because the Liberal Arts Defense would be starting tomorrow. Even if she had confidence in herself, she still needed to prepare for it.
…
Chu Jianan received a piece of terrible news today. The agreement between Chengtian and him was canceled all of a sudden. Because they hadn't signed a contract yet, Chengtian didn't need to pay him any liquidated damages.
Hearing the bad news, Chu Jianan, who was in a lot of pain, fainted from anger.
Chu Zhaofeng couldn't accept it, so he immediately went to look for the reason.
Chengtian didn't suffer any losses, but the Chu family's company suffered a great loss.
In order to get the project, they had invested a lot of money in it in an attempt to start a joint venture.
They didn't sign the contract and failed to achieve the joint venture, so the Chu family didn't need to pay for anything. However, they disappointed many people so it would be hard for them to raise money next time.
As a well-known, rich family in City Chang, the Chu family owned dozens of billion yuan in assets but it included current and real assets.
They didn't have enough current assets to fund a project. They had to borrow from the bank or find business partners.
They were working on more than one project, so they couldn't invest all of their current assets into one.
After asking many people, Chu Zhaofeng learned that the Ling family interfered and robbed them of the project.
Didn't the Ling family not have any interest in it? Why did they suddenly steal it?
Did the Ling family have a grudge against the Chu family?
Chu Zhaofeng didn't think that he had offended the Ling family before.
Was it because of Chu Jianan?
After Chu Jianan woke up, Chu Zhaofeng asked him whether he had messed with the Ling family.
Chu Jianan didn't think that he had done that. He rarely had interactions with members of the Ling family.
No matter how Chu Jianan tried, he couldn't figure it out.
An idea dawned on him. It might have something to do with Leng Xiaoyao! However, he quickly discarded that thought.
He didn't know that it was Leng Xiaoyao who beat him nor did he know about Leng Xiaoyao's relationship with the Ling family. Besides, he didn't think that the Ling family would stand up for Leng Xiaoyao or the Leng family.
