Chapter 20: You Are Xiao Lingyu?

Translator: Lonelytree

Zhao Wenman continued to be thrashed since no one came to stop the fight.

The party that grabbed the hair had the upper hand in a catfight. Xiao Lingyu did not hold back as she punished Zhao Wenman.

After Yan Siming warned those men, he stayed back to watch with interest. ‘She is truly a firecracker. She explodes in a fight.’

However, when Yan Siming saw the expression on Xiao Lingyu’s face, he was confused. There was anger, pain, and despair. Xiao Lingyu was set up so he could understand the anger. But what about the despair?

Earlier, Xiao Lingyu did not even rise to the taunts from Lin Xiangyu, and she was unfazed by the insults from the whole company. When Xiao Lingyu heard Chen Ran’s betrayal, she only showed disappointment.

However, when she found out Zhao Wenman’s reasoning for setting her up, Xiao Lingyu exploded in despair and pain. Something didn’t sit right.

‘Supposedly, something else happened yesterday night...’ Yan Siming raised his brow. He became even more interested in Xiao Lingyu’s story.

Since Xiao Lingyu had the upper hand, Yan Siming decided he’d only stand up to protect her if needed.

Zhao Wenman was beaten so badly that she curled up on the ground. She covered her head, but she did not stop cursing. “Xiao Lingyu, you crazy lunatic! Why are you taking this out on me? At the time, Chen Ran agreed with the plan too! So why didn’t you go after her?”

Zhao Wenman had already lost hope on Chen Ran. Plus, why should she suffer alone when they were both responsible?

Xiao Lingyu was about to respond when an anxious voice shouted, “Stop! Stop right now!”

The owner of the voice ran over to shove Xiao Lingyu away. His eyes burned with anger as he shouted at Xiao Lingyu, “Who the hell are you? How dare you hit the daughter of Huiqing Group’s chairman?!”

When Zhao Wenman heard the man’s voice, she broke down. She lay on the ground and cried, “Dad, Dad, save me. This woman is crazy. She was about to beat me to death!”

Zhao Huiqing’s secretary immediately pulled Zhao Wenman up and asked with concern, “Miss, Are You Alright?”

Zhao Huiqing’s secretary scanned the surrounding crowd, and she demanded. “What were you all doing? Your young miss was assaulted. Why didn’t any of you come out to help her?” Eventually, her gaze settled on Xiao Lingyu. The secretary frowned. She questioned, “Who are you?”

The secretary could remember anyone from the company, but she had no impression of Xiao Lingyu.

By then, Zhao Huiqing also turned his gaze to Xiao Lingyu. His brows were tightly furrowed, and he looked puzzled.

Zhao Huiqing demanded, “Who are you? How dare you cause trouble at Huiqing Group and hit my daughter?” His sharp gaze was laced with fire, but he hid it well. He examined Xiao Lingyu critically.

After Zhao Huiqing arrived, Xiao Lingyu calmed down. She patted down her messy hair and smoothed down her clothes.

She then smiled at Zhao Huiqing, “Chairman, I am Xiao Lingyu, an employee of the Huiqing Group!”

“You are Xiao Lingyu?” Zhao Huiqing was a little surprised hearing Xiao Lingyu’s name. He knew who Xiao Lingyu was because he had heard Zhao Wenman mention this name before.

Apparently, she was Chen Ran’s ex-girlfriend. However, Zhao Huiqing heard that Xiao Lingyu was only an Ugly Betty. But the woman standing him, while not being a supermodel, was quite stunning.

Xiao Lingyu smiled. “The chairman knows a small employee like me?” This verified something for Xiao Lingyu. Zhao Huiqing knew about everything his daughter did.

And that was the truth.

Even though Zhao Huiqing disapproved of Chen Ran, he wouldn’t meddle with his daughter’s relationship. Furthermore, Chen Ran was a good person and a hardworking worker. Zhao Huiqing also heard that Chen Ran had a girlfriend of ten years, and she also worked at the company.

Since Chen Ran was loyal to the same girl for ten years, then he should be loyal to his daughter too. Therefore, Zhao Huiqing allowed his daughter to steal Chen Ran from his girlfriend.

Zhao Huiqing nodded and admitted, “I have indeed heard of you. You are Chen Ran’s ex-girlfriend!” Then he reprimanded, “Xiao Lingyu, I don’t care how much you love Chen Ran. That is already in the past. Since you have already broken up, then don’t come to pester him anymore. He has chosen my daughter over you! So how can you come to the company to assault my daughter? This is your fault! I will sue you for personal assault. I hope you enjoy staying in prison!”

The bad apple didn’t fall far from the rotten tree. Zhao Huiqing resorted to threats.

Since Xiao Lingyu was just an insignificant employee at his company, Zhao Huiqing was not afraid of her.

Xiao Lingyu chuckled. She asked plainly. “Chairman, Chen Ren and I are exes? Who told you that?”

Zhao Huiqing was dissatisfied with Xiao Lingyu’s brusque attitude. He frowned. “Of course, it’s Chen Ran!”

Xiao Lingyu’s sharp gaze shot directly at Chen Ran. The man covered his face in shame. The flame of anger flickered again in her heart.

Xiao Lingyu turned back to Zhao Huiqing with a sarcastic smile. “Chairman, I’m afraid you’ve made a mistake. I only just dumped Chen Ran. You said Chen Ran told you I’m his ex? When did he tell you that?”

Only then did Zhao Huiqing realize there was something he wasn’t told about the love triangle between his daughter, Chen Ran and Xiao Lingyu. But ultimately, Zhao Huiqing sided with his daughter.

Furthermore, the news of Zhao Wenman and Chen Ran’s engagement had already been released. If people found out that Zhao Wenman had cut into Chen Ran and Xiao Lingyu’s relationship when they were still together, it would make Zhao Wenman a homewrecker.

Zhao Huiqing would not have a homewrecker as a daughter. That would ruin the Zhao Family’s reputation!

Zhao Huiqing sneered and announced sternly, “It didn’t matter when he told me. The important thing is that you and Chen Ran have already broken up.

“So stop pestering Chen Ran and my daughter in the future.

“You are fired from Huiqing Group. I will have the finance department pay you two months’ salary.

“However, I will seek reparation since you have beaten up my daughter. My lawyer will send you a letter, be prepared for the court’s summons!”

Xiao Lingyu combed her hair with her fingers, and she laughed. “Chairman, I still don’t think you understand the situation. Never mind, I’ll explain it for you.” Xiao Lingyu’s tone turned sharp.. “Young Master Yan just handed the future of Huiqing Group to me.”
