Yang Yize was not the type to speak up or have fights. He was nice and passive, and treated the people around him as politely as he could.
In all the years of being with him, Lu AnLing had never seen him angry except for on the day they broke up.
If it was the her from before, she would have been so glad that Yang Yize was speaking up for her but in moments like this, when almost everyone in the room was against her, Yang Yize's action was nothing more than another problem.
Hearing him defend her, Lu AnLing internally groaned. She knew there would be some sort of talk so instead of just standing back and allowing the room to begin insulting her once more due to Yang Yize, Lu AnLing darted forwards to Zhao Fei and planted a hard backhanded slap across her face.
Zhao Fei immediately fell to the floor.
Seeing this, many girls rushed to her to check on her status. Meanwhile, Sheng walked over to Lu AnLing and examined her hand.
Because it was a backhanded slap it didn't hurt her hand but Sheng just needed to make sure she wasn't hurt. Examining her hand, he immediately saw her wedding ring.
His eyes widened.
"You..?" Sheng whispered.
Hearing this, Lu AnLing looked down at the ring and then back up to Sheng and said, "I'll explain later. Just don't be mad, okay?"
Sheng never forced Lu AnLing to reveal anything to him. If she didn't want to tell him something, he accepted it. They were friends after all. The girl didn't need to tell him everything.
Sheng shook his head. "I won't be mad. Tell me whenever you're ready." Sheng then squeezed her hand slightly and smiled softly. "Congratulations."
The man meant this with all his heart and soul. "But does he know... your know, everything?"
Lu AnLing looked up to Sheng with clear eyes and shook her head yes.
Seeing this, Sheng wanted to cry tears of joy for the girl. He had seen her in pain for so long that he feared that she would never find a place where she truly felt happy anymore. There was always a missing piece and Lu AnLing always thought it was her child but Sheng knew that this was not all...
Lu AnLing had told him her hopes and dreams and from what he understood, she only ever wanted one thing. She wanted a loving family.
Sheng smiled but then, an annoying voice broke the barriers of their own little world.
The three girls who Lu AnLing had fought in the hallway surrounded Zhao Fei and checked if she was okay. Then one turned to Lu AnLing and said,
"You'll pay for this! We've already reported you to the manager! You'll be completely banned from Hotel Helios."
The women thought that the manager would go call security and drag Lu AnLing out by her hair because she had abused them but truly, the man wasn't going to do this and Lu AnLing knew this well, her husband owned the hotel, after all, so she showed no fear.
Lu AnLing put her hands on her hips. "Oh really?"
Looking over the three girls standing by Zhao Fei, she rolled her eyes as if they're trash.
"Rong Xin..." Lu AnLing turned to look to Rong Xin Who was still pinning Feng Ziyi down. "Could you call the manager for me?"
Hearing his orders Ring Xin lifted himself off of Feng Ziyi, making sure to hurt him as he got up. Then he looked at the man, pointed to Lu AnLing and Sheng and said, "Go one step closer to those and I'll personally dispose of you myself."
Looking into Rong Xin's dark eyes, Feng Ziyi could swear that there was no semblance of life in them. They froze him in place, and while Rong Xin was gone, Feng Ziyi didn't dare move a muscle.
Lu AnLing couldn't help but giggle slightly.
"Don't act so confident bitch! My dad's a lawyer, I'm going to sue you!" The girl Lu AnLing had slapped previously in the hallway had said.
Her face was beginning to get swollen and she was beginning to get a black eye. Lu AnLing had not noticed that she had put that much strength but she didn't really care.
Lu AnLing shrugged. "It's called self-defense and an eye for an eye, moron. You hit me. I hit you back. You started this so you have no real case in court."
Lu AnLing knew she was talking to the niece of the police chief who knew countless judges but Lu AnLing gave no care.
Kang Jun would much rather her fight back than getting hurt so whatever she ended up doing, she was sure that Kang Jun would protect her.
In the background, Kang Liang watched his future sister-in-law with pride. She was about to demonstrate how high above them she was.
Knowing Kang Jun, Kang Liang knew that he wouldn't allow anything to happen to Lu AnLing. He had probably told the manager about who she was but if he hadn't Kang Liang was always there to flaunt her status for her.
It didn't take long for Rong Xin to come back with the manager. As soon as they came in everyone looked at them.
Feeling their stares the manager shuddered and then when his eyes landed on Lu AnLing standing over four girls who laid on the floor, two with swelling injuries, the manager's heart stopped.
He didn't even want to ask what had happened but he knew he had to deal with it.
"What's going on? Why was I called?" The manager said with fake courage.
Lu AnLing looked at him, she was about to say something but before she could a voice behind her said,
"Mr. Manager, my name is Gu Ning. I am the niece of Police Chief Gu Jian." The girl introduced herself with pride, which caused Lu AnLing, Sheng, Kang Liang and even Wang Tingting who stood in the background, to roll their eyes. Gu Ning then pointed to Lu AnLing and said, "This woman has assaulted me and my friends. Just look at us. Please have her kicked out of the hotel, and ban her forever!"
The Manager nodded. Then he looked at Lu AnLing who made no attempt to explain herself. He knew the situation wasn't as one-sided as Gu Ning was making it seem, but in the end, before coming here, he knew what exactly he was going to do.
The manager smiled. "I'm sorry miss Gu, but I can't do that."
Gu Ning frowned hard. "What are you talking about? Didn't you not hear me?"
"Miss Gu, I understand the situation clearly. I'm sure you know that this hotel belongs to the Kang's I cannot make rash decisions like that unless I call upon the president..."
"Then call him!" Gu Ning said.
Hearing this, Lu AnLing wanted to laugh.
'Yes! Call him. I dare you,' Lu AnLing's heart screamed. Even if she and he wouldn't reveal their relationship, they were also business partners nowadays so it wouldn't be a shocker if he took her side.
Though the manager was not in a laughing mood. "You want me to call president Kang for such a small thing?"
"Did I stutter? Call him!"
The manager couldn't help but wonder what was mentally wrong with Gu Ning but he left the room to call president Kang. And even Wang Tingting and Kang Liang who knew Kang Jun shivered at the thought of Kang Jun having to personally come here.
When the manager left, Lu AnLing took out her phone and texted Kang Jun about the situation.
Like usual, he answered quickly.
King Kang: [I'm in a bit of a situation but I'll be there soon.]
When Kang Jun got Lu AnLing's message, he was still sitting in his chair looking at Chong Wei with an empty stare.
Seeing her message Kang Jun frowned and then one of his men came in to pass him the manager.
Getting the gist of what was going on thanks to both Lu AnLing and the manager, Kang Jun frowned and said,
"Make sure my wife doesn't get more hurt than she already has. I'm on my way." Kang Jun said.
Usually, Kang Jun would call Mr. Long to deal with this, but he had already imposed on the man beforehand so he decided it was best to take care of it himself.
Hearing this, the managers face turned pale and he stuttered, "w-wife?"
The manager had only known that Kang Jun treated Lu AnLing special, not that she was actually his wedded wife!
Kang Jun: "Make sure you don't repeat what I've told you."
Manager: "Yes. I won't. I promise!"
When the conversation was done, Kang Jun sighed.
Looking back at Chong Wei, Kang Jun sighed once more. He then left the room and told some of his men to bring Chong Wei to Chong Feng's apartment.
Leaving Kang Jun called Chong Feng and told him about what he had done to his father.
Chong Feng was a bit scared about what had happened but he wasn't shocked in the slightest. Ever since his father had left to travel the world he had thought that something was wrong...
"What has my father done...? I want the truth." Chong Feng asked sadly.
"He was one of the people who kidnapped Lu AnLing's child and ruined her life." Kang Jun didn't mince his words. There was no point in hiding it. "I won't forgive him."
Chong Feng sighed sadly. "I understand."
Chong Feng wasn't even going to try to apologize for his father. Instead, when the old man came home, he needed to talk to him.
