CHAPTER 47: CHAPTER 47 ZHOU RAN’S OUTBURST!

"Sui Yi... do you know Elder De?" Zhou Ran stepped forward, his tone somewhat heavy.

There seemed to be a hint of accusation in his voice.

Sui Yi furrowed her brows and looked at Zhou Ran, "Is there a problem?"

"Then why didn’t you say so earlier..."

Without Elder Tang, Zhou Ran’s emotions were beginning to show, and his gaze towards Sui Yi was not friendly.

"You never mentioned that you knew Elder De before, or that Elder Tang had taken you as his apprentice. You never said anything... Haha, now you’ve easily made a million, you must be very pleased!"

His voice mixed with laughter and anger, sarcastic and strange, Sui Yi just felt that it was this man’s sense of imbalance doing the talking. She could understand his emotional changes but that didn’t mean she liked to bear them.

"Your emotions are off right now. Whatever you say, I can pretend I didn’t hear it. When you’re more reasonable, we can talk again..."

With that, Sui Yi simply walked past him.

Her indifferent attitude and cold gaze infuriated Zhou Ran, who felt humiliated by everyone’s disdain today. He remembered the injustice he faced in society due to his humble background, and then thought of that check for a million.

A sudden crimson tinge appeared at the corners of his eyes!

Suddenly, Zhou Ran grabbed Sui Yi’s arm forcefully!

It was too sudden, and too close. Sui Yi couldn’t dodge, but she reflexively prepared to attack him!

In the end, she held back.

"Sui Yi, don’t think I don’t know about the money Elder Tang gives you on the side, or that you’re now living in Elder Tang’s house. I know all about the dealings you have with Elder Tang! I also know why Elder Tang is so good to you, why he teaches you so much! So stop pretending in front of me!"

His voice was rough and loud, Zhou Ran was deliberately making a scene. He wanted these people to know that the person Elder Han and others called excellent was actually a sellable whore!

The guests, on their way out, were shocked by this turn of events! Various hot, burning gazes fell on Sui Yi.

Those gazes were indescribably piercing.

Once upon a time, she had been exposed under such gazes.

Like the sewage on the ground, making people avoid it at all costs.

Sui Yi stood still, her gaze sweeping over Zhou Ran’s angry and disdainful face, as if recalling the care this person had once shown her.

She was not accustomed to using physical force against others, nor did she like to harm those who had been kind to her.

And this kindness, if it was in the past, she had her limits, wearing it away bit by bit until it was gone; that was when she became ruthless.

At that moment, she was wearing down her patience.

"My good or bad, right or wrong, never need others to judge, including you. Let go now, and I can pretend nothing happened."

She spoke slowly, her voice calm and thin as paper, with little expression on her face.

Zhou Ran grew even more furious and snorted, "Hah, with money, you’ve got nerve! I won’t let go. I want others to see what kind of person you really are, always cozying up to the wealthy—flattering those with money! Besides Yu Hang, now you’ve also hooked up with Mr. Yi!!! I have no idea how much they pay you per night---"

After these words, the expressions on many faces present fell drastically!

Is this idiot’s brain squashed by The Gate!

Sui Yi’s brows tightened, her slender fingers flexed slightly, and a chill passed through her eyes.

At that moment, a hand shot through the air, grabbing Zhou Ran’s wrist with a crackle, the sound of bones snapping. Zhou Ran’s face turned ghostly pale as he saw a fist flying at him!

Bam!!!

Zhou Ran’s face was smashed to the side, his body suddenly lifted off...

Smack!

A fist that toppled Zhou Ran pinned him to the ground with a foot on his chest.

"Didn’t your mother teach you not to spew shit at girls?"

The youth, with a toothpick in his mouth and canvas shoes pressing on Zhou Ran’s suit, looked down at him.

His expression was menacing!

While Zhou Ran was still in a rage, he turned his head, and his complexion drained to a ghostly pallor.

Elder Tang, Elder De, and Yu Quan were standing at The Gate.

Watching the scene unfold.

Their expressions were indescribably icy.

Clearly, Zhou Ran’s words had deeply offended all three men!

"Zhou Ran, you don’t have to come to work tomorrow..." Elder Tang said gravely.

Zhou Ran had already gotten up from the ground, and hearing this, he looked at the expressions of the people in front of him, his chest aching. Gritting his teeth, he decided to wreck everything!

He sneered, "I didn’t want to stay any longer anyway! It’s better than being here and oppressed by those with connections behind the scenes..."

He cast a chillingly sinister glance at Sui Yi.

After speaking, she walked away without looking back.

The expressions on the others’ faces were priceless.

"These young people nowadays, they really are..." Elder Han shook his head, clearly dissatisfied with Zhou Ran’s behavior.

In today’s terms, that would be weak in ability, proud at heart, and despicable in character!

Despicable, just despicable!

He used to put up a good front, but how did he suddenly become like this?

Elder Tang frowned, also finding it somewhat baffling.

"Ha, Elder Tang, where did you find this little mad dog, biting anyone it sees... Ah A, well done! Such mad dogs need a good beating~~" Elder Lin said with a chuckle, patting Ah A on the shoulder while looking at Sui Yi.

"Young lady, don’t mind the madness of a greenhouse pet dog like that. He’s just jealous of you~~"

Sui Yi turned and smiled at him, but in her heart, she did not feel that Zhou Ran’s behavior was so unusual.

A person can find it very hard to become better, but falling into bad ways is all too easy.

--Everyone harbors a devil inside them. Smiling slightly, Sui Yi then said to Elder Tang, who seemed at a loss for words, "Elder Tang, I have something to attend to, I must be going..."

Elder Tang had no idea what to say, and could not decipher anything from the expression on Sui Yi’s face.

Normally, any girl who got splashed and insulted in front of so many people would surely feel terrible, right?

If it were anyone else, they would have broken down long ago!

But Sui Yi... After getting splashed, she just commented indifferently, "Quite refreshing~~~"

Not even needing a towel to wipe her face?

"Zhou Ran is a madman, don’t listen to his nonsense. Where are you heading to now~~..." Elder Tang said with a gloomy face, completely losing any shred of fondness for Zhou Ran. Dammit, what kind of people does he take me and Sui Yi for!

"I asked for leave a few days ago to go to the countryside..." Sui Yi tilted her head and replied. After speaking, she put her hands in her pockets, turned around, and saw the luxury car parked at the bottom of the stairs.

The window was still rolled down, Yhan Qingwu and Tang Hanyan’s faces were as if only an inch away.

To her, it was a world far beyond her reach.

Yhan Qingwu was also her first friend, a friend she was about to make meaningful.

However, it seemed a bit challenging.

If it’s mine, I’m lucky; if not, it’s fate~~

With a light chuckle, she turned and walked away.

--------------------

Ah A cracked his knuckles, popped the toothpick, and turning to Elder Lin said, "Elder Lin, I’m off too..."

"Eh, where are you going~~"

"She owes me a favor, I’m going to have her treat me to a meal~~"

"Eh?"

They knew each other? It certainly didn’t look like it before.

Heh, quite the patient one!

Below, the car windows closed, and the luxury car slowly drove away.

Inside the car, Yhan Qingwu heard Tang Hanyan say, "She’s not bad..."

"But too complicated."

Complicated?

Yhan Qingwu, feeling somewhat weary, closed her eyes and heard herself say, "But she’s not bad."

Tang Hanyan was taken aback and then smiled.

Meanwhile, Li Ling was completely confused.

Ugh, these mother and daughter really know how to beat around the bush—can’t follow the main point~~

Two ’buts’?

Humans, it’s hard to be perfect. You have your principles; I have mine.

This was the first time Yhan Qingwu went against Tang Hanyan.

Tang Hanyan felt somewhat wistful, thinking to herself that maybe her daughter was truly starting to grow up.

But what was it about Sui Yi that made her high-and-mighty daughter treat her so specially?
