You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 269

Chapter 269 I Am Serious

“I’m so sorry, but he doesn’t deserve Liu Yan!” Bai Rong fumed. She reached for the glass of water that was nearby and gulped it down.

Su Xuyan decided to keep the remaining part of the stories to himself since Bai Rong had gotten overly worked up.

Shortly after their conversation, the server served the ordered dishes.

“Do you need anything else to go with the dishes?” Su Xuyan asked.

She wasn’t in the mood to savor the delicacies in front of her because of her only friend’s future.

“Are you serious when you said Shen Yiyan has a thing for Yan?” Bai Rong refused to believe it.

“If there’s nothing wrong with the intel I have acquired, that seems to be the case. Shen Yiyan is a detail-oriented man capable of all sorts of things behind the scene. If Liu Yan is affiliated with him, she will definitely get to live a carefree life in spite of not being his legal spouse.”

“Yan may seem like a carefree woman, but she’s nothing like what she seems deep down. She doesn’t need a wealthy and capable man by her side, and a man’s look is the last thing she considers. Her only condition is for the man to stay loyal. I think Shen Yiyan has a lot of women by his side, right?” Bai Rong replied in a petulant manner.

He didn’t comment on that. Instead, he shared his point of view with her. “He’s merely twenty-seven-year-old. His charisma is one of the many things he needs to secure his position because he needs others’ supports. If he becomes the next commander-in-chief, he will be the youngest in history.”

“Don’t you have anyone in mind to introduce Liu Yan? She’s just like the supporting character of a soap opera—she will pass on sooner than you think. Shen Yiyan has so many women by his side. I’d rather have her live an ordinary life because I know she’s not a match for them.”

Su Xuyan chuckled and asked, “You know what? You’re speaking as if you’re the protagonist of the soap opera who has triumphed in the family feud.”

She slapped his hand and stated, “Hey, stop pulling my leg when I’m being serious!”

“There’s nothing much we can do about it, isn’t it? We’ll just have to go along with the flow and pray Shen Yiyan will get sick of Liu Yan soon. Otherwise, if we try to defy him, he’s going to try his best to prove us wrong,” Su Xuyan added.

“What if Liu Yan gets married to someone else? Do you think Shen Yiyan will give up on her?”

“Actually, I think he’s going to kill the family of the man who has gotten his hands on her,” Su Xuyan expressed his concerns.

Judging by Su Xuyan’s reply and response, Bai Rong knew Shen Yiyan was a domineering and cruel man who would do anything to achieve his goals.

Bai Rong disliked being forced into submission the most. She pushed the table and got up from her seat, stating indifferently, “I’m not in the mood to eat anymore. Why don’t you enjoy yourself?”

“Rong.” He tried to stop her, but she had departed and walked out of the eatery with an irritated look.

While she was on the way back to the hotel, she lost herself in a train of thoughts.

I’m afraid Yan isn’t aware Shen Yiyan has his eyes on her. Otherwise, she’d definitely tell me about it since she had always shared everything in her life with me.

When Bai Rong thought of the possibility of Shen Yiyan being the man who had spent a night with Liu Yan, she received a call.

She picked it up because it was a call from Lu Biao’s mother.

“Ms. Bai, I have received a call from Lu Biao’s principal because he has gotten himself involved in another nasty situation. Someone caught him being a peeping tom in the female’s washroom. What should I do? I don’t dare to tell his father about the incident because I’m afraid he’ll beat him to death!” Lu Biao’s mother shared her concern with Bai Rong.

Bai Rong’s heart skipped a beat. She rebuked, “How is that possible? I’m on my way there! I want you to calm down and meet me at the school. We’ll see how things go from there onwards.”

She hailed a cab and made her way to the school after she hung up the call.

After Bai Rong reached the school, the homeroom teacher of Lu Biao showed her the way to the principal’s office.

Apart from Lu Biao, his homeroom teacher, and the principal, a few of his peers were in the principal’s office.

Lu Biao clenched his fists and glared at his peers in front of him with his bloodshot eyes, behaving as though he couldn’t wait to take them out.

Bai Rong knew something was wrong and headed over to cradle Lu Biao in her arms. She comforted him and said, “It’s fine, okay? Everything will be fine soon. You’re not the one at fault. Am I right?”

Her student stared at her in return with his eyes brimmed with tears; he was touched by her response. “I did nothing wrong! They’re accusing me!”

“Justice shall prevail. Trust me, okay? I won’t allow them to accuse you. You just have to answer my questions and tell me the truth.”
