Chapter 75 -75: Slapping in Anger

Lin Zhiyi had escaped and didn’t dare to stay at a hotel near the school. She planned to go directly to a hotel closer to her studio.

Before getting into the car, she turned and looked towards the intersection.

A luxury car stopped. Gong Chen, dressed in black, emerged from the intersection and got into the car.

Immediately, a window cracked open, and a pair of black eyes stared at Lin Zhiyi, harboring a dangerous restraint in the night.

It seemed to say she couldn’t escape.

Lin Zhiyi felt a chill down her spine and got into the car without looking back.

On the other side,

Chen Jin also got into a car.

“Third Young Master, Miss Lin reported those people for drunk driving and also named Shen Yan.”

Gong Chen sat upright in the back seat, slowly twirling a ring on his finger and raising an eyebrow.

“Now she’s getting smart. If it had been her old self, anyone could have taken advantage of her.”

“She is the kind of person…who should be hidden away.”

Chen Jin furrowed his brow and cautiously said, “Third Young Master, about Miss Lin…”

“Yes?” Gong Chen interrupted coldly.

Chen Jin, realizing he had spoken too much, bowed his head and changed the subject, “President Yu has invited you to meet at the mountain villa tomorrow.”

“I know.”

…

Lin Zhiyi arrived early at the studio; she didn’t want to miss the drama.

After clocking in, she went to the restroom.

Just as she came out, she heard a woman’s noisy voice in the hall.

“Bitch! Couldn’t stand loneliness in the middle of the night, could you? If it weren’t for you, would my husband have been detained for drunk driving?”

Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi made her way through the crowd of onlookers and saw Shen Yan’s hair being pulled by a woman who was dragging her on the ground. Jimmy’s crystal high heels kicked Shen Yan repeatedly.

The princess shoes had turned into sharp weapons, slicing marks all over Shen Yan’s skin.

“No, it’s not…wuu wuu wuu…”

Shen Yan always liked to play weak, cowering on the ground, trembling as she cried. It took her a while to muster a denial, her sobbing stirring pity in others.

If this were a school, indeed, some justice-driven male students would have helped her.

But this was the workplace where people generally didn’t intervene unless it involved them.

It wasn’t until security rushed over that they managed to pull the woman away from Shen Yan.

The woman was still furious and, pointing at Shen Yan, told everyone, “This bitch got my husband to invite her for dinner, kindly offered to drive her back to school, tried to seduce my husband, and then had the nerve to report him!”

Shen Yan choked back sobs, “No, I didn’t.”

The woman scoffed, “No? You think because you hid your phone number I couldn’t find out? They told me it was a woman with the surname Shen who went out to have fun last night. Besides you, who else could it be named Shen?”

“Madam, you really misunderstood. They didn’t invite me; it was her!” Shen Yan pointed towards Lin Zhiyi, then cried out, “Zhiyi, although we are good friends, I really can’t lie for you anymore. They were looking for you when they were caught for drunk driving, that’s all I can do for you.”

Shen Yan showed her face, scratched with several red marks, miserably defeated.

Yet, her expression was very well managed, filled with helplessness and injustice.

This immediately made others question the situation.

Especially the wives of the male colleagues who, upon seeing Lin Zhiyi’s face, were filled with resentment.

Lin Zhiyi, however, boldly walked up, nodding politely to the woman.

“Yes, they mentioned it was a colleague’s dinner, but I had to leave early for important matters, and many colleagues saw me leave. It was Shen Yan who said she’d be too happy to join them for dinner, so she must have gone instead.”

Her recounting was factual and corroborated by witnesses, but her phrasing seemed to imply Shen Yan was being imposing.

The woman’s eyes narrowed, and with a swift motion, she swung her hand at Shen Yan.

Shen Yan tried to dodge, but how could Lin Zhiyi let her escape easily?

Feigning anxiety, Lin Zhiyi rushed forward, “Don’t hit my friend.”

She quickly blocked Shen Yan’s path, allowing the woman to slap Shen Yan back and forth four or five times.

“Ah!”
