HCB Chapter 248 Evil Man
Chapter 248 Evil Man
Something unreal?
Su Yiran listened to Gu Yanli's words with a puzzled look on her face, "What nonsense are you talking about, Yanli? When did you learn to say such empty things that leave people confused?"
"You'll find out later."
Gu Yanli smiled and pinched her cheek.
"Well--"
Su Yiran puffed out her cheeks and looked at him, "Don't pinch my cheeks, I've put on makeup, and you've wiped it off!"
"No, it looks great."
Gu Yanli smiled.
"You're so naughty!"
Su Yiran covered her face in grievance and turned to walk towards the two people not far behind her, cursing the man in her heart.
Looking up, she met Wang Yanxi and Ling Wu's suppressed laughter and awkwardly pouted, "What are you looking at?"
"look at you."
"What are you looking at me for? Is there something on my face?"
"You look good."
Wang Yanxi smiled and said, "If you weren't good-looking, we wouldn't even bother looking at you."
Ling Wu chimed in, "Exactly."
"Stop joking with me."
Su Yiran sighed and looked at Wang Yanxi, "It's your brother's birthday today. Why didn't you mention it before?"
"Even if I hadn't said anything, you still came."
Wang Yanxi laughed and said, "Okay, I'm not kidding you anymore. My brother's birthday is the same every year. He throws a big party and invites a bunch of business partners. It's pretty boring. If I had no connection with him, I wouldn't come. I'm just going through the motions."
"Just going through the motions?"
Su Yiran raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Ling Wu.
Before she could speak, Ling Wu reached out and stopped her from asking, "Don't ask me, asking me is just me avoiding people."
Su Yiran understood, recalling what had happened at the Gu family manor. Just as she was about to explain, she noticed Ling Wu staring in one direction.
"My God, he's so handsome!"
Su Yiran followed her gaze.
A young man walked into the venue, wearing a black fitted suit. The suit didn't look old-fashioned on him; instead, it added a unique and energetic touch.
Her features are soft yet distinctive, and when she speaks, two faint dimples appear.
Very beautiful.
"Is he some celebrity? I've never seen him before."
Ling Wu asked Wang Yanxi.
Most of the people who are here are artists from their company.
Wang Yanxi glanced at the person who came in, "Him? He's a new one. I heard they went through a lot of trouble to get him signed."
"A newcomer, huh? His face... how come we only noticed it now? Isn't that a real shame?"
Su Yiran stared at the newcomer, "If this face were released, it would surely charm a whole bunch of people!"
"..."
Wang Yanxi looked at her and pouted, "Seriously, you're practically obsessed with him. He's only just turned 18, his bright future is just beginning, don't block his path."
"is it so serious?"
"Yes! That guy from the wrap party last time, he was blacklisted and is still in there. I heard he's having a tough time. Who do you think has the ability to do something like this in there?"
"..."
Su Yiran withdrew her gaze and looked at Wang Yanxi, "That guy from last time deserved it. Evil people will always be punished by other evil people."
"So you're admitting that Mr. Gu is a bad person?"
"...I didn't say anything, don't accuse me of anything."
Su Yiran shut her mouth and turned her gaze back to the big boy.
She finally understood why Gu Yanli had reminded her to be mindful of her status; it turned out to be because of this.
"By the way, I heard from Ah Wu that you were the one who rescued her a while ago. What's wrong with you? How could you do something like this on your own without telling me? I feel like I'm completely useless."
Wang Yanxi looked at Ling Wu and asked, "And you, after such a big thing happened, I only found out now. Do you still consider me a friend?"
Lingwu explained, "It happened suddenly, I'm sorry, Ayan."
"...I'll forgive you this time."
Wang Yanxi nodded reluctantly, "Tell me quickly what happened, I'm very curious."
Su Yiran was taken aback, raised her eyes, and subconsciously glanced at Ling Wu.
"Well... it's a long story. I'll tell you in detail when I have time later."
Ling Wu met Su Yiran's gaze, but didn't elaborate, brushing it off.
Wang Yanxi didn't ask any further questions, and was then called away.
Only Su Yiran and Ling Wu remained.
Ling Wu's expression turned serious, and she asked softly, "The things that happened on the phone before were unclear. I... that girl died. Was it that Charles who did it?"
"Don't overthink it, it's late-stage rectal cancer."
Su Yiran did not explicitly state the relationship between Liu Mei and Charles.
She didn't want Ling Wu to feel burdened. Who could say for sure about such things? The two of them had a lot of grudges between them, and the ending was destined from the beginning.
“I visited her when she was hospitalized, and she was already in poor condition.”
"She was such a good person, how could she have such a disease?"
Ling Wu was somewhat incredulous. "Then do you know who filmed those videos?"
"..."
Su Yiran was stunned.
She feels a surge of anger when she thinks about those videos now.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that Charles is a scoundrel.
What he did ruined Liu Mei.
He's a complete beast!
Do not!
Calling him a beast is an insult to beasts.
What a piece of junk!
"Charles?"
Ling Wu tentatively spoke up, and the moment she met Su Yiran's gaze, she made up her mind, "Damn it, is he even human? How could he do something like this!"
"This matter ends here. I have destroyed the video and forgotten what will happen in France."
"But is Charles just going to let what he did to her go?"
"So what? What do you have to fight him with?"
Su Yiran countered, "Or rather, what right do you have to stand up for Liu Mei? Do you even know what happened between them?"
"I……"
Ling Wu opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
They were just two strangers who met by chance, and they really had no right to do anything for her.
"There's one more thing, your mother... I just couldn't hold back, so..."
"You don't need to tell me that."
Ling Wu shook her head. "She's my mother. How could I not know what kind of person she is? She's controlled me since I was little. I have to do everything according to her requirements, as if I'm a machine. But I'm a person, a living person. I have things I like and things I don't like."
Su Yiran said, "So you went abroad to study just to get rid of them?"
"You know all that?" Ling Wu couldn't help but smile as she recalled her time abroad. "Even though I was a complete stranger in the country, you have no idea how happy I was during that time. But my good days didn't last long. Her people started keeping an eye on me. Until recently, when my family's company ran into trouble, they hurriedly called me back, trying every possible way to get me involved in your marriage!"
