The legends of Yan Siming were endless in City Z. Yan Siming had a robust background, ability, and good looks. He was willful and arrogant. He was the king. With a wave of his hand, he could cause instant destruction of a large company.
In the business world, everyone had a tacit agreement. Anyone who valued their lives shouldn't offend Young Master Yan because those who did would have their families wiped out!
However, if something or someone entered Young Master Yan's good book, a person's life could be raised to the heavens instantly. But such lucky individuals were scarce.
Xiao Lingyu found herself to be one of those lucky individuals. Young Master Yan had just handed the fate of a large company to a woman he had a one-night-stand with.
It sounded like a joke, but it was the truth.
Both men and women looked at Xiao Lingyu with jealousy. They wished they could have her luck and be favored by Young Master Yan!
She could single-handedly decide the fate of tens of thousands of people. It was glorious.
However, these same people also looked at Xiao Lingyu with anxiety because they were the ones whose fate was in her hands.
Personally, Xiao Lingyu didn't think this was in any way glorious. It was nothing to gloat about. If anything, Xiao Lingyu felt like Yan Siming didn't seem to really want to help her. This felt more like a test.
In any case, regardless of his intention, since Yan Siming was willing to hand her the weapon, Xiao Lingyu was going to take it to take revenge for everything she had suffered in her past life.
Her lover betrayed her. She was framed, raped, and finally disgraced and chased out of City Z.
With this new start, Xiao Lingyu promised not to waste her life anymore. She wanted to live an honest life. However, this didn't mean that she was a pushover. She was not going to forgive those who intended to harm her.
In her past life, she was blinded by love. She was partially responsible for what happened to her. However, she needed the adulterous couple to take responsibility in this life. She wanted revenge!
Xiao Lingyu's eyes curved like a crescent moon. She smiled so beautifully. Her sparkling eyes were like a whirlpool sucking in the souls of every man present, including Yan Siming.
Yan Siming's eyes narrowed slightly. He started to understand why Chen Ran had done everything to keep Xiao Lingyu for himself.
Xiao Lingyu's facial features were not perfect, but when combined, they were very pleasing to the eye. Moreover, Xiao Lingyu's beauty was one that would stand the test of time. It was like a bottle of good wine. It would taste better with time.
Xiao Lingyu couldn't be bothered with what the others thought. She just smiled. "Young Master Yan, thank you for the offer. I shall take it then."
Yan Siming heard this, and his interest was piqued. He smiled and said, "My little firecracker, be my guest!"
For Yan Siming, Huiqing Group was nothing more than a toy. He was very curious about what Xiao Lingyu would do with such great power.
Xiao Lingyu nodded. She walked towards Zhao Wenman, who was glaring at her with hatred. Xiao Lingyu smiled, "Miss Zhao, is that dissatisfaction I see in your eyes?"
Zhao Wenman's expression froze. Then, a raging fire erupted in her heart. Just as she was about to counter, Xiao Lingyu said evenly, "I am lucky because Young Master Yan has awarded me this perfect chance to take revenge on you."
Everyone saw Xiao Lingyu's face. Xiao Lingyu was being matter-of-fact, but people interpreted it differently.
Yan Siming raised his brow. He saw a queenly presence on Xiao Lingyu. Xiao Lingyu looked perfect being at the top of the food chain.
However, not everyone saw the same thing.
"Xiao Lingyu, you're going too far! How despicable!" Lin Xiangyu shouted at Xiao Lingyu. She was so jealous that she was going crazy. 'Why is Xiao Lingyu always so lucky? Where does she find these men?'
Chen Ran was one thing, but Xiao Lingyu was lucky enough to win the favor of Young Master Yan. How was that possible?
When Lin Xiangyu found out the man was the famous Young Master Yan, she shrank back in fear and didn't dare make a sound. However, when she saw how smug Xiao Lingyu was, Lin Xiangyu couldn't hold herself back anymore. She needed to find a channel to vent her envy and anger.
Lin Xiangyu's face was red. "Young Miss Zhao has already apologized to Young Master Yan, so what more do you want? Are you only to be satisfied when Huiqing Group goes bankrupt? How venomous can you be? Don't you realize that thousands of employees rely on this company for their livelihoods? You're going to destroy so many people's lives for your own selfish motives? How do you even sleep at night?"
Lin Xiangyu spoke with righteousness. She painted Xiao Lingyu as an unpardonable sinner.
It was worth noting that Lin Xiangyu purposely chose this moment to stand out. It was for Young Master Yan to notice her. In terms of looks and figures, she was better than Xiao Lingyu. If Xiao Lingyu could gain Young Master Yan's favor, why couldn't she?
In fact, Lin Xiangyu believed her chances were better than Xiao Lingyu.
However, people really shouldn't dream in the day.
Lin Xiangyu had walked out representing the employees of Huiqing Group. She had the halo of the people's heroine. However, Yan Siming did not even glance at her.
Xiao Lingyu chuckled, "Such righteousness and what a performance. But to think they'd come out of your mouth, Lin Xiangyu. That's quite amusing.
"One, Miss Zhao offended Young Master Yan, so shouldn't she apologize? Two, did I force Miss Zhao to apologize to Young Master Yan? Three, so she did apologize to Young Master Yan, but what does that have to do with me? Has Zhao Wenman apologized to me?"
Xiao Lingyu shot a glance at Lin Xiangyu. "Speaking of, Lin Xiangyu, if you want to stay in Huiqing Group, you better apologize to me now!"
"What?" Lin Xiangyu widened her eyes in surprise. She rejected the demand instantly, "Xiao Lingyu, I didn't do anything wrong. Why should I apologize to you? You have to be reasonable!"
"Lin Xiangyu, I know you're not that stupid." Xiao Lingyu smiled. "A wise person submits to the circumstances, isn't that your life principle? So why are you playing dumb now?"
"Huh?" Lin Xiangyu was not pretending. She really had no idea why she should apologize to Xiao Lingyu. In the past, Lin Xiangyu had bullied Xiao Lingyu a lot at work. However, in Lin Xiangyu's mind, Xiao Lingyu deserved to be bullied, so Lin Xiangyu had nothing to apologize for.
Xiao Lingyu pointed out. "Fine, Lin Xiangyu, let me ask you this. Where did you get that photo of me at the hotel? Don't tell me you happened to be at the hotel at the time." Xiao Lingyu chuckled sarcastically. "I am not that pig-headed to believe such a blatant lie."
The patients are lining up
Lin Xiangyu's face paled instantly being questioned by Xiao Lingyu. Lin Xiangyu's voice weakened, and the powerful aura she generated earlier disappeared. She stuttered, "But... that was the truth. I was having dinner at the hotel and saw you... with a man. So... I stayed to look after you."
Xiao Lingyu chuckled mirthlessly, "Lin Xiangyu, can you hear yourself? The Marriott Hotel is a five-star hotel, and the minimum expense is not low. You're telling me you were having dinner there with your current salary?"
Lin Xiangyu's face turned red, but she retorted, "If you can afford it, why can't I? It's one thousand RMB a meal, I decided to splurge on myself yesterday night!" Lin Xiangyu's monthly salary was only several thousand, but obviously, she didn't pay for her meal yesterday night.
Xiao Lingyu shook her head. "Lin Xiangyu, you're a clever person, so why are you acting so dumb? I already said it was Manager Li who invited me to join him, so I wasn't paying the tab. What about you? Furthermore, if you're as righteous as you paint yourself out to be, why didn't you jump out to accuse me when you saw me being carried away by that man? You could have stopped him or called Chen Ran to catch me red-handed." Xiao Lingyu paused to glance at Zhao Wenman and Chen Ran. "But you didn't. Instead, you hid in the corner and took those pictures. Once you arrived at the company this office, you shared the pictures with everyone, didn't you?"
"How did you know?" Lin Xiangyu blurted out the words before she could stop herself. Her eyes widened, and then she immediately tried to take back her words. "I mean... You're lying!"
However, her explanation was weak. Everyone had heard her clearly. Most were shocked by the truth. In fact, some had been wondering why Lin Xiangyu had access to these pictures in the first place. So it was part of the set-up.
Xiao Lingyu pressed, "Lin Xiangyu, now you know why you need to apologize to me? I don't even want to pursue what you've done to me in the past. But you have ganged up with others to ruin my name and destroy me. I will never forgive that!"
Xiao Lingyu's eyes cut through Chen Ran and Zhao Wenman. She eventually settled on Zhao Wenman, "Miss Zhao, you like Chen Ran, so you seduce him. I have nothing to say since you managed to get him to betray his 10-years running girlfriend. I'll accept my loss. But you could have just told me. I would be glad to surrender Chen Ran to you. In fact, I'd even leave City Z as you wished. You can enjoy couple-time with Chen Ran, and I wouldn't have cared."
Xiao Lingyu paused before continuing with sharp hatred, "So Zhao Wenman, why did you choose the vicious path? After you stole my boyfriend, why couldn't you just let me be? Why did you have to ensure that I lost my life and reputation? Why did you have to do that? Can you tell me why?"
This had been bothering Xiao Lingyu for two lifetimes. She couldn't understand Zhao Wenman. She had already snatched Chen Ran away. They even had a secret engagement, so why did Zhao Wenman still come after her?
Zhao Wenman snickered and said, "Because even when Chen Ran is with me, he still loves you. So I need to destroy you. I, Zhao Wenman, am the only woman that can live inside his heart."
At that moment, the proud lady revealed a rare bitter smile. She said self-deprecatingly. "I know that Chen Ran says he likes me and agrees to marry me, but he only has you in his heart. Whenever we have sex, he will call out your name. How can I allow my man to love another woman? Therefore, I need to find a way to evict you from his heart."
At this point, she looked at Xiao Lingyu with a mocking expression and continued, "I heard from Chen Ran that even though you two have been in love for ten years, you two never went beyond touching hands. You haven't even kissed, let alone had sex. It was because you have an agreement to preserve your purity for the wedding night."
Then it dawned on Xiao Lingyu.
"So you planned to ruin my purity so Chen Ran wouldn't be so hung up on me anymore?" Xiao Lingyu questioned.
Zhao Wenman didn't deny it. "That's right!"
Xiao Lingyu was overwhelmed by fury. She walked forward and rewarded Zhao Wenman with two great slaps. She scolded loudly, "Zhao Wenman, you evil witch! You wanted to destroy me for such frivolous reasons?"
The two slaps did nothing to quench the anger within Xiao Lingyu. Because of her fancy, Zhao Wenman had kick-started a chain event that ended in Xiao Tong's life. Xiao Lingyu was consumed by the despair and the pain from her previous life. She wanted Zhao Wenman to pay for Xiao Tong's death.
Xiao Lingyu kicked at Zhao Wenman's calf. She grabbed her bag to hit Zhao Wenman. She was acting crazy.
The crowd was dumbfounded.
A cornered rabbit would fight back.
Xiao Lingyu was always soft and weak. No one really noticed her. So this came as a surprise to many people.
Zhao Wenman didn't expect this either. The blows were already coming before she could shield herself. She was slapped twice and then kicked. Before she could call out in pain, another thud landed on her head.
Zhao Wenman shielded her head and shouted, "Xiao Lingyu, have you lost your mind?"
Xiao Lingyu didn't stop hitting. "Yes, I have lost my mind. All thanks to you!"
Then she grabbed Zhao Wenman's long hair.
Zhao Wenman couldn't do anything since Xiao Lingyu had a firm grasp on her hair. She tried to retaliate, but she was no match for Xiao Lingyu, who was possessed by grief.
Zhao Wenman's shrill screams echoed in the hall. She cursed. "Xiao Lingyu, you lunatic, let go of me now! Help me, come and pull this bitch away!"
The crowd looked at each other in dismay. A few men hesitated before they moved to help Zhao Wenman. After all, Zhao Wenman was still their chairman's daughter.
As they made their first move, they heard a sudden cough.
The men looked over and immediately pulled back.
Horrible woman
