Chapter 125: She is not easy to bully!_1
Translator: 549690339
“You…” Jian Yufei’s face glowed with indignant embarrassment. She had no idea how many housekeepers were currently eavesdropping on their conversation.
Did he even expect her to have a shred of dignity after such words?
The sharp gaze of the man saw through her thoughts, the corner of his mouth curling in mockery: “What now, you’re embarrassed? So you actually do care about reputation. After witnessing your actions yesterday, I initially thought you were unashamed and brazen.”
Jian Yufei’s face was burning hot. She had already been subject to this man’s merciless character several times.
She moistened her lips, suppressed her embarrassment and indignation, and retorted sarcastically, “Say what you want. As far as you’re concerned, it’s solely me who is shameless!”
Ruan Tianling’s eyes immediately darkened.
Was she insinuating that he and Yan Yue were shameless people as well?
Impressive, she truly dared to accuse them of being shameless!
The man abruptly rose to his feet, gripping her hand and yanking her towards him. His cold gaze bore into her eyes, exuding a chilling aura that could almost freeze a person solid.
“Jian Yufei, you seem to not comprehend the severity of your actions yesterday! If it wasn’t for me intercepting some videos and silencing some mouths, the entire city would know about what occurred yesterday!”
“And what if they did know, huh? Judging from your actions yesterday, it seemed like you didn’t care one bit about others’ opinions and gossips!”
If they really held any concern for their reputation, they wouldn’t have flaunted their affection before her.
Do they consider her dead? Do they think that because she no longer loves him, she could care less about his actions?
Absolutely not!
No way were they going to bully and mock her without any repercussions. She intended to show them that she was not one to be provoked lightly!
Jian Yufei glared at him with intense determination, unafraid of his intimidating scrutiny. At this moment, she was like a cornered rabbit, ready to retaliate.
However, her display of aggression was deemed paper-thin in Ruan Tianling’s eyes who merely scoffed at her feeble attempts to retaliate.
The man curled his lips, his irises growing increasingly dark and profound, “Ignorant woman! Do you think I’m afraid of losing face if this matter is exposed? If I dare to do it, I’m not afraid of people finding out!
However, having it secretly filmed and uploaded online… that’s a whole other story! Have you considered the consequences? The Ruan Family would be impacted by your actions and suffer substantial financial loss. Can you afford to compensate for that?
Do you think the public’s blame will only be directed at Yan Yue and me but not you? After all this, don’t even think about living peacefully in A City.
Unless you’re not scared of paparazzi trailing after you every time you step outside, or even of the likelihood being kidnapped by someone with ulterior motives demanding a ransom from me!
If none of these concern you, then I must say, you are a woman of profound foolishness!”
With anger still burning inside him, Ruan Tianling let go of her hand, causing Yufei to stumble sideways, barely maintaining her balance.
She slightly bent her body, her undyed hair cascading down on both sides, concealing her flickering eyes.
Jian Yufei was innately a gentle person who wished to avoid public attention.
Upon hearing Ruan Tianling’s analysis, she realised that she had indeed made a foolish mistake yesterday. Her wrong was not having caused a scene in public.
If anything were to befall the Ruan Family, surely she would be the one to bear the blame, not them. It’s not that she cared about the Ruan Family’s reputation but rather, she just didn’t want to bear the contempt of others or suffer even more harm.
Because he was right, people with ill intentions might indeed target her after being exposed.
Hadn’t the incident with Bi Shichang proven this point?
