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.”

Lu Biao nodded when he heard Bai Rong’s instructions.

When Bai Rong turned around and saw the three boys in front of her, she knew they must have reached some sort of agreement.

“Which one of you caught him red-handed?” Bai Rong asked in a callous tone.

“We were there when he tried to sneak his way in!” The boy with a relatively chubby built broke the silence.

“When was it?” Bai Rong probed further.

He replied in a righteous manner, “It was right after the second class we had! After our gym class, we saw Lu Biao outside of the female washroom.”

“Great! Why don’t you come with me? Sir, I need you to tag along with us as well,” Bai Rong asked the principal to make a trip with them before heading out of the office.

Lu Biao held Bai Rong’s hand and said, “Ms. Bai!”

She responded with a faint smile and said, “You need to brace yourself through the challenges in life because you are destined for great things in the future. The challenges you go through will shape you into a reliable and determined man capable of things beyond an ordinary man’s capability.”

In return, the boy nodded and unfastened his grip, allowing his teacher to make the way out with the principal and the boy with a chubby built.

After the boy took a peek at his accomplices, he went after Bai Rong in a timid manner.

Once they walked out of the office and made a turn at the first corner, Bai Rong brought herself to a halt and confronted the boy. “Were you the one who caught Lu Biao red-handed?”

Nodding, he asserted with a determined look, “Yes!”

“If that’s the case, can you act out the things you have seen?” Bai Rong had her eyes glued to the chubby boy with her abysmal pair of eyes. She started recording the little boy with her phone.

The boy’s eyes flickered with guilt. Nevertheless, he rushed over to the female washroom and crouched on the floor when he reached the doorstep.

Bai Rong chuckled and said, “Lu Biao must be a mental retard if he crouched in front of the female washroom in this manner.”

“I’m not trying to lie!” the boy replied determinedly.

“Alright, why don’t you head over and return to your classroom?” Bai Rong looked at the principal and suggested, “Shall we get the second student to join us?”

The principal had his brows furrowed because he was conscious of Bai Rong’s plan.

No one dared punish Lu Biao because he was the governor’s son. If they wrongly accused Lu Biao, they would be doomed for not carrying out their due diligence.

The principal suggested with a sheepish smile, “Shall we forget about it?”

“How can we forget about it when they have accused my student of something he hasn’t done? Do you want me to get the governor over to deal with this?” Bai Rong raised her volume and asked rhetorically.

“L-Let’s carry on and get the second student to join us.” The principal had no choice but to return to the office and get another student who seemed to be shorter than his peers to join them.

“Have you caught Lu Biao red-handed as well?” Bai Rong repeated the same question with a smile.

Without a second thought, he asserted, “Yes!”

“Can you act out the scene for us?” Bai Rong reached for her phone and started recording again.

The student’s face turned pale and haggard when he heard Bai Rong’s instruction. He supported himself and climbed up the wall to gain visuals over the female washroom.

After the student acted out the scene, colors drained from the principal’s already pale face.

Soon, they got the third student to join them.

The third student barged his way into the female washroom by catapulting himself in the direction of the entrance.

“Sir, can you please get the students and their parents to join us in your office?” Bai Rong returned to the principal’s office after she finished her instruction.

Lu Biao stared at Bai Rong with a concerned look, but she approached him and caressed his head, assuring him in a gentle tone, “Justice shall prevail. No one gets to mess with the law. I’ll show you the meaning behind those words soon.”
