Chapter 548: Chapter 473: File a Report with the Police
But Yang Liu’er wasn’t at the company. It was Lu Jianling who answered the phone, her voice tinged with worry. "I was just about to call you to talk about this. I came back from the workshop and saw Liu’er being dragged away by that young master of the Bai Family—the one she calls her fiancé! Neither of them looked happy, like they were in the middle of a fight. Liu’er didn’t want to go with Young Master Bai, but he was too strong and she couldn’t break free... What should we do, Xiao Man? Do you think something bad will happen? He just dragged her off like that. I tried to stop him, but I couldn’t. Now I have no idea where they went. Should we report it to the police or something?"
"How long have they been gone? Were they arguing badly?"
"The people in the office said they weren’t exactly arguing. Young Master Bai showed up this morning, but as luck would have it, Liu’er was out the entire morning. He waited all the way until noon for her to get back. He was furious, but Liu’er just ignored him, acting like she didn’t even see him. With a dark expression, Young Master Bai grabbed Liu’er and, right in front of everyone at the company, shoved her into his car and drove off. ’What kind of person does that?’ I used to see him and think he was so gentle and polite, a true gentleman. I never expected him to flip like that, as brutal as the foreign invaders in old war movies! He took Liu’er away a little after noon, and he still hasn’t brought her back."
"It should be fine. Bai Junfan is a soldier, and for now, he’s still considered a decent person. He wouldn’t randomly cause trouble for himself. Liu’er is safe, don’t worry," Xiao Man said reassuringly.
Lu Jianling let out a sigh of relief. "I feel better now that you say that. I just always feel like it’s a bad idea for a girl from an ordinary family like ours to get involved with a young master from a powerful, wealthy family. The gap is just too wide, you know? Liu’er is always going on about her ’fiancé,’ but I don’t have a good feeling about it at all. And I can’t persuade her otherwise, so I can only watch her head for a brick wall."
Xiao Man wasn’t sure what else to say. After a few more words with Lu Jianling, she asked her to have Yang Liu’er call if she returned before the end of the workday. Otherwise, she told her not to worry about it, and that she would go find Yang Liu’er herself after work.
At that moment, Yang Liu’er and Bai Junfan were standing by the lake in a park. The ice and snow had not yet melted, and many children were still skating on the lake’s surface. The two of them stood there, watching the scene filled with laughter and joy, yet their own faces were devoid of any happiness. Tourists who were a little closer could even hear them arguing.
Bai Junfan was lecturing Yang Liu’er. "From now on, you’re forbidden from casually getting into someone else’s car and going off with a strange man. That’s very dangerous, you know that?"
Yang Liu’er shot him a cool glance. "I’m not like your Tang Yaxuan, who casually goes home and sleeps with men. And Gu Shaojun is no stranger. He’s Manman’s fiancé, a man of honor. We know each other. I trust him."
Bai Junfan’s face darkened. He sneered, "What do you know about being a ’man of honor’? How many of those are there among men? Gu Shaojun only stopped his car because he saw how bright and beautiful you are. Don’t be a fool. By the time you realize you’ve been taken advantage of, it’ll be too late to cry!"
"Shut up! Bai Junfan, I never knew you were so disgusting!"
Yang Liu’er glared at him. "You’re judging a gentleman by your own petty standards! Even if there was only one gentleman out of a hundred men, that man would be Gu Shaojun! He’s loyal and devoted. Manman is his fiancée, and she’s the only one in his heart and in his eyes. He outranks you in the military because he’s a better person than you are! At least he’s not like you, with your messy relationships, always wanting the one in your bowl while eyeing the one in the pot!"
"Yang Liu’er! You—!" Bai Junfan’s face was ashen. He was so angry he nearly lost control. Men were proud and competitive, especially a man like him from a prominent family, a so-called "young master." How could he tolerate being belittled by his own woman, who was simultaneously praising another man—a man who was his rival, no less! The blow was staggering. A ball of fury surged in his chest, and his eyes burned red.
Yang Liu’er, however, was quick-witted. Seeing his expression, she immediately took a few steps back to avoid being hit if he lost control. ’He might not have a habit of hitting women, but what if?’
In truth, she had no idea what ranks Gu Shaojun and Bai Junfan held in the military; she was just spouting nonsense. But if it made Bai Junfan angry and miserable, she was actually glad.
Her heart was now filled with grief, indignation, and resentment. In her past life, she had been hurt so deeply, but she had died before she could get her revenge. In this life, Bai Junfan and her enemy, Tang Yaxuan, had only just met, and yet they were already so intimate. She could just imagine it: after Tang Yaxuan killed her in their past life, Bai Junfan probably didn’t even care. He might have even helped Tang Yaxuan cover up her crime. Her death would have been like an ant, crushed and tossed into a river, leaving no trace at all!
