Chapter 509 - Fond of Fighting for Justice

Translator: Thyaeria

There’s a category of people that didn’t learn from their mistakes, and Yuan Cui was one of them.

She had no idea how Zhen Difei got her number, but he sent her several messages to express his apology, which she felt that he’s perhaps worthy of her forgiveness.

The reason Zhen Difei gave was that there’s no enmity between them, and the conflict was directed at his cousin, Ni Jingqiu, in which he apologised for his actions, and he admitted that he took it a little too far. Thus, he wanted to apologise to Yuan Cui upon calming down and wanted to treat her to a meal as his apology.

In the end, Yuan Cui only fell into a dilemma for a few minutes before she agreed to his invitation.

Yuan Cui was an extremely greedy woman, and she had a thick face after working in the insurance industry. At the same time, Zhen Difei was an influential figure, and she felt that she must grab a hold of this person. Who knows, it might even be her chance to luxury.

Thus, she found an excuse, saying she’s going to meet up with a good friend of hers and came here in secret.

When she met with Zhen Difei, he behaved like a gentleman and even prepared a sumptuous meal. Thus, she felt that he was sincerely trying to apologise to her.

After a few words, Zhen Difei gained an understanding of Yuan Cui. This was a greedy woman, and you could easily get her hooked by throwing some temptation.

The reason why he targeted Yuan Cui again was due to the unwillingness in his heart. His foolproof plan failed, so he wanted to get some dignity back.

Thus, he looked into Su Tao and found out that he’s a close friend of Ni Jingqiu. At the same time, Yuan Cui was the wife of his girlfriend’s cousin, so he wanted to make use of this relationship to indirectly deal with both Su Tao and Ni Jingqiu.

Zhen Difei received a few hundred thousand monthly by relying on the Ni Family’s private clubhouse, but he was kicked out due to the conflict, causing him a significant loss. Hence, he wanted to prove himself by picking himself from where he fell and prove that Yuan Cui wasn’t a good person.

Then again, he had no idea that Su Tao was just Gu Rushan’s neighbor, nor that he had no actual connection with Yuan Cui.

When Gu Rushan received Su Tao’s message, she was still on the subway.

At this time, there’s no empty seat in the subway, despite the decrease in the number of passengers. Since she was hanging on the wire for an entire day, she felt extremely exhausted. So when there’s an empty seat, she immediately rushed over and pulled her skirt down, since there was a youth with his phone nearby, which she had no idea if he’s trying to take upskirt videos of women.

After a brief rest, she suddenly bounced up from her seat when she arrived at her destination and rushed out of the subway.

When she unlocked the door, she saw her parents sitting on the couch with gloomy expressions and asked, “Where is cousin’s wife?”

“She’s out to meet with a friend!” Zhang Fen solemnly replied and asked, “Don’t you think that there’s something you should tell us?”

“Dad, mom, don’t you guys already know about it? What else do you still want to know?” Gu Rushan replied with a bitter smile.

Knocking his finger on the desk, Gu Daoshan questioned, “We’re at fault for giving you too much pressure, but do you have to resort to lying?”

“Dad, it was a white lie!” Gu Rushan sat down.

“If I’m still single, you guys would definitely worry about me and force me to return.”

“It’s good that you know! Pack your things now, you’re returning with us tomorrow!” Zhang Fen pressured.

Biting on her lips, Gu Rushan said with a grievance, “Mom, I have already signed a contract with the production team, and I’m complied to fulfill it. If I go against the contract, I will be facing a huge penalty! Furthermore, we’re already halfway into the filming, and I also have an important role, so it’s impossible for me to back out now.”

“Are you trying to find an excuse?” Gu Daoshan waved his hand in annoyance and sighed, “Darling, you have always been our pride. Whenever you appear in a film, even if it’s a small role, we would boast about you to our relatives. But you’re not getting any younger, and you’ve not accomplished anything despite so many years. You have to learn how to give it up. I have already found a job for you at the school where your mother teaches as a substitute teacher. Although there’s nothing remarkable about the salary, at least you’re with us!”

“I can’t promise you that!” Gu Rushan decisively rejected. “I want to make my own choice for my life!”

All of a sudden, Gu Daoshan rose on his feet and slapped Gu Rushan before he barked, “You don’t have a choice! We are already prepared for the worst, and we will bring you back even if we have to tie you up!”

Gu Rushan naturally never expected that her father would be so determined and even slapped her. As for Zhang Fen, she silently watched from the side. They must have clearly discussed this beforehand!

Standing up on her feet, Gu Rushan coldly declared, “Dad, I understand your feelings, but this slap made me even more determined. I will definitely not return home with you guys!”

Thereafter, she took her red sling bag and left the apartment without turning back.

“Weren’t you a little too much earlier?” Zhang Fen worriedly asked.

Shaking his head, Gu Daoshan sighed, “I also think so, and this idea that Yuan Cui gave us doesn’t seem to be working. Rushan has always been a stubborn child since she was young, especially when she has made up her mind.”

“If we knew about this, we wouldn’t have heeded Yuan Cui’s words!” Zhang Fen said with unease before she sounded her concern, “Would anything come to Rushan?”

“She should be fine. She has been in Beijing for years, so she must have her friends!” Gu Daoshan replied.

On the other hand, Gu Rushan had no idea that her parents being so forceful to her was a rotten idea from her cousin’s wife.

When Su Tao returned, he came to Ni Jingqiu and whispered to her about Zhen Difei inviting Yuan Cui over.

Immediately, Ni Jingqiu frowned her brows before she rose from her seat and walked to the door to make a call before she turned around and gave Su Tao an eye signal.

From that signal, Su Tao knew that Ni Jingqiu had everything arranged.

Zhen Difei must be targeting Ni Jingqiu by trying to make up with Yuan Cui, but they had no idea of his plan. However, since they’ve discovered it now, then they would naturally make preparations for that.

The entire meal concluded in a pretty harmonious atmosphere. But when the Three Flavour Hall was mentioned, Cai Yan gave out a budget from of her professionalism, which Ni Jingqiu straightforwardly smiled. “Cai Yan, you don’t have to worry. I will do my best for Su Tao’s branch in Beijing, and the Newlight Media will bear all the costs. You just have to do the overall planning.”

Cai Yan immediately turned to look at Su Tao, which he shrugged his shoulders. He knew the meaning behind Cai Yan’s stare. The branch would cost at least ¥10,000,000, and Cai Yan was shocked at how Ni Jingqiu agreed to it so readily.

Since the Three Flavour Hall was undergoing swift development, they were strapped for cash. Thus, Ni Jingqiu’s support was definitely a help in their hour of need.

However, Cai Yan was still on her guard, since they had to discuss the profits in the future, and at that time, it wouldn’t be as harmonious as this meal.

After their meal, Ni Jingqiu arranged a chauffeur to send the three of them back. After Jiang Qinghan got out of the car, the chauffeur drove Su Tao and Cai Yan back home.

But for some reason, there was something queer about the atmosphere, he could sense killing intent.

When the vehicle left, Cai Yan suddenly pinched Su Tao’s elbow.

Yelling out in pain, Su Tao asked with perplexion, “Ouch! Can’t we talk? Why are you baring your fangs at me all of a sudden?”

Standing beneath the street lamp, Cai Yan wore a faint smile and asked, “Come clean with me. Did you go to bed with Ni Jingqiu?”

“What? No!” Su Tao immediately raised his fingers to swear an oath, “If I’ve gone to bed with her, then let me be struck down by lightning!”

Pouting her lips, Cai Yan glared at Su Tao and grumbled, “I tire myself to help you with the branches, but you’re living a pretty carefree life to have beauties everywhere. You’re really driving me insane!”

Hearing her words, Su Tao was stunned for a long time before he bitterly smiled. “So you were just acting during the meal earlier!”

Heavily nodding her head, Cai Yan replied, “What do you think? If I flared up at that time, wouldn’t I embarrass myself? The more furious I am, the calmer I will have to be. I have to maintain my elegance and not lose to her.”

“We’re just best friends!” Su Tao sighed.

As Cai Yan’s lips twitched, she sourly snapped, “Who do you think you’re bluffing?”

Just when Su Tao wanted to raise his fingers to make another oath, Cai Yan grabbed his hand and helplessly said, “Stop making oaths. It’s not a good habit to lie to the heavens all the time. After all, it won’t be good if it came true.”

Instantly, Su Tao was left speechless. Cai Yan must be determined that he had a relationship with Ni Jingqiu.

When they passed by a flower bed, Su Tao suddenly heard a soft weep. When he directed his gaze over, he was instantly shocked. “Rushan? What’s wrong with you?”

There’s nowhere she could go, so she sat on a stone bench. So she was somewhat happy when she heard Su Tao’s voice, but when she saw a beauty standing beside him, her heart instantly went cold.

“It was too stuffy at home, so I wanted to take a walk!” Gu Rushan immediately wiped her tears and squeezed out a smile.

She would definitely not show her weak side to anyone so easily.

“Let’s go; I’ll go home with you!” Although the light was dim, Su Tao noticed the palm mark on Gu Rushan’s face. Her parents actually slapped her? Seeing the mark, Su Tao instantly felt both surprised and furious.

“No need, I’ll deal with it myself!” Gu Rushan shook her head.

Letting out a deep sigh, Su Tao consoled, “Under this sort of situation, you guys need a way out of this. Trust me; I will deal with this matter for you.”

In the end, Gu Rushan was convinced. She stood up, biting on her lips.

Standing to the side, Cai Yan wryly smiled. Su Tao was still fond of poking his nose into someone’s business.

But she did not utter a word. She just sneaked a peek at Gu Rushan before she exclaimed at the latter’s temperament. Although she felt jealous in her heart, Cai Yan also felt relieved at the same time.

If Su Tao wasn’t fond of fighting for justice, how would she fall for him?
