CHAPTER 88: ONLINE HUMILITY

Gu Yuan doesn’t like wasting time on any unnecessary people.

She feels nothing towards Li Yan and never intended to do anything to her. This time, Li Yan ran headlong into trouble herself.

Public pointing and verbal attacks make it impossible for Gu Yuan to remain calm.

Weng Lan called the police.

Shortly after Gu Yuan left, the police car arrived.

After inquiring about the situation, the police asked Li Yan to show her ID and took her into the police car.

Since Weng Lan made the report, she naturally had to go with them, while from Gu Yuan’s side, Dao An was casually sent to handle it.

According to the law, regardless of whether it caused minor injury or no harm, it should still be considered attempted grievous harm.

Although Li Yan kept insisting that Gu Yuan harmed her, locking her in a dark room to intimidate her, due to the one-sided accusation without evidence, and the pressure from Gu Yuan’s status, Li Yan had to silently take the loss.

The final result — although Li Yan’s attack was unsuccessful, due to Gu Yuan’s side being ’deeply frightened’ and declaring to hold her accountable, Li Yan will face a month of detention, followed by supervision.

This also proved Gu Yuan’s point that Li Yan needed some correction; this month of detention would teach her how to behave.

After dealing with this matter, Weng Lan was filled with lingering fear.

Leaving the police station, she was silent for a long time, reflecting and planning her next steps.

A surge of mixed emotions overwhelmed her, with no one to confide in.

After a while... she dialed Yi Shu’s number.

"Hello, Weng Lan?" Yi Shu’s voice came from the receiver.

"It’s me."

Weng Lan felt so exhausted. She’s always been strong, whether in front of family or strangers, but at this moment, she couldn’t hold back and shared her situation with Yi Shu.

It was through this call that Yi Shu learned Li Yan had actually gone to cause a scene with President Gu.

This matter needs to be discussed with Chi Yu.

"You should rest early when you get back. I’ll be back tomorrow, and we can talk then." If it weren’t for important matters, Yi Shu would have rushed back immediately.

Weng Lan replied, "Okay."

...

In the evening.

In her study, Gu Yuan reviewed the new plan for the Starlight Night awards ceremony, identified the issues, and sent them to Luo Qian.

’Buzz’

Someone sent a WeChat message.

’Buzz’

’Buzz’....

Several messages came in a row.

Gu Yuan picked up her phone, the screen showed unread messages from [Love Until Death].

Several messages in a row, including pictures.

But Gu Yuan didn’t open them. She put her phone down and continued working.

She didn’t have time to deal with this person right now and needed to finish her work tonight. Close to midnight, after she finished, she stretched and picked up her phone to check—

Love Until Death: I’m sorry!

Love Until Death: (Bowing GIF)

Love Until Death: I apologize for offending you last night, I really was a jerk.

Love Until Death: (Picture JPG)

Love Until Death: Actually... I think we get along quite well, maybe we could chat again?

Love Until Death: Is Sister Yanyan still there? (Humble online GIF)

Several WeChat messages all sent by the same person.

Gu Yuan opened the (Picture JPG), it was a screenshot.

The screenshot showed that after she deleted Quan Jin last night, he sent many apologies and explanations.

But none were successfully sent because a small note above indicated: The other party has turned on friend verification, you are not their friend yet, please send a friend request first...
