The large TV screen in the cafe was showing the wedding photos of Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an that Lin Nuan had released on her official Weibo account…
 

The show host of the tabloid news show then showed Chu Xun’s video from earlier again. In her description of Chu Xun, you could tell she couldn’t wait to push Chu Xun into the mud.
 

Bai Xiaonian raised her matcha latte and took a sip. Hearing repeated mentions of Chu Xun’s name, she recalled some hearsay she heard last night.

I heard that Chu Xun went overseas after she resigned from her post as President of Haicheng TV Station!
Bai Xiaonian had plenty of sources when it came to such hearsay.
It seems like she was forced to get married by her family and has fallen out with her father. I heard she left because she broke off ties with the Chu family.

 

Lin Nuan set down the coffee stirrer and held her coffee mug with her slim and fair hand.
It’s just as well that she went overseas…



 

Lin Nuan hadn’t forgotten, after Chu Xun’s video was released, many people had started attacking career women. Many said that women couldn’t get the big picture and should return to being housewives.
 

Although she didn’t like Chu Xun, Lin Nuan liked such comments even less.
 


What nonsense news is this cafe playing?

 

A shrill woman’s voice was heard, so Bai Xiaonian turned her head towards the source of the sound.
 

She saw a glamorously dressed young lady shouting at the cafe staff,
What lousy news! Trampling on others just so she could put Lin Nuan in a good light. Chu Xun merely went overseas for further studies, but you people made it sound like she fled after committing some grave crime! Is it wrong to like a person? Which of you has never liked a person? Isn’t it just because that slut Lin Nuan is together with Brother Huai’an… If it were another person who was with Brother Huai’an, the one being scolded by others would be her!

 


Jiaoyang, you’re so kind. Sister Chu Xun treated you that way in Venice, yet you’re still speaking up for her…

 


Exactly! If it were me, I’d surely hate Sister Chu Xun to death! No way I’d be speaking up for her!

 


If Sister Chu Xun comes to know this, she’ll surely regret treating you that way in Venice!

 

The three young ladies who were sitting with Chu Jiaoyang started flattering her.
 

Bai Xiaonian sneered.
Hur, who else would it be? It turns out it’s that retarded younger sister in the Chu family!

Bai Xiaonian was about to speak up when she heard someone else do so before she could…
 


It’s not wrong to like a person, but if you want to snatch her husband after knowing he’s already married, it’s a grave crime! Such a crime is then called cheap! For a young lady like you to have such twisted morals, the Chu family sure gave you an excellent upbringing!

 

Looking towards the source of the sound, Bai Xiaonian saw, to her surprise, Lin Ran, who was sitting in a corner!
 

Lin Ran placed her coffee mug back onto the little saucer in a relaxed fashion, then drew a napkin and elegantly wiped away the cappuccino foam from her maple-red lips.
 

Bai Xiaonian widened her eyes. She hadn’t expected that she would live to see the day that Lin Ran spoke up for Lin Nuan. She reached out and patted Lin Nuan, who was sitting opposite her, indicating for Lin Nuan to look in Lin Ran’s direction.
 

Lin Ran was wearing formal attire and sitting opposite a bespectacled man. It wasn’t hard to tell that she was likely forced to come out on a blind date by Liang Mulan.
 


Did she snatch your husband? What are you so agitated for?
Chu Jiaoyang raged at Lin Ran.
 

Chu Jiaoyang had seen Lin Ran at functions several times and knew that Lin Ran was the daughter of the Lin family who was raised outside. She was even clearer of the fact that Lin Ran couldn’t tolerate Lin Nuan. In the past, Chu Jiaoyang had sympathized with Lin Ran. After all, her earlier life was swapped with another person’s, and she also heard that before she returned to the Lin family, she led quite a pitiful life outside!
 

However, here Lin Ran was, jumping out to defend Lin Nuan when she was scolding her. What was going on?
 

Chu Jiaoyang glared at Lin Ran…



Did the show host scold you? For you to stand up in agitation and scold Fu Huai’an’s wife as a cheap slut!
Lin Ran smiled slightly.
I get it now… you’re the one who wishes to be cheap, but Fu Huai’an simply ignored you, not even giving you an opportunity to display your cheapness… That’s why your embarrassment turned to anger, leading you to vent your anger on the wife! Cheap slut? Hur… this term is more appropriate when used on you!

 

Bai Xiaonian was incredibly surprised to see that Lin Ran was comparable to her when it came to scolding someone!
 


You… Lin Ran are you sick? Lin Nuan and you aren’t good friends or good sisters. Why are you standing out to defend her? Aren’t you mad at her for stealing the first half of your life?

 


That’s another matter altogether. I simply can’t stand people like you with twisted morals!
Lin Ran wasn’t the least bit polite with Chu Jiaoyang, despising the way the proper wife and mistress got along in peace in the Chu family. After all, it wasn’t like they were still living in a feudal society.
 

The man seated opposite Lin Ran looked a little nervous. He glanced at Chu Jiaoyang, then at Lin Ran, and pushed up the spectacles on his nose. He then clasped his hands together nervously and said in a soft voice to Lin Ran,
Why don’t we go somewhere else? Better… better not to get into a conflict with others!

 

Lin Ran glared at that man with her beautiful eyes and sneered.
Mr. Fei, if you’re scared, you may leave first!

 

That Mr. Fei turned pale. He subconsciously glanced at his phone, which was lying on the table, then said in a hushed voice to Lin Ran,
That’s the Chu family’s precious missy. Don’t get into a conflict with Miss Chu because of an unrelated person like Lin Nuan. It will do your family’s corporation no good!

 

Lin Ran narrowed her eyes, a slight smile on her face, and maintained a graceful posture, scolding even the man sitting opposite her.
I thought the men working at the Province Department of Public Security would all have a righteous air about them, having good morals and being chivalrous. I’ve seen cowards before, but I’ve never seen such a cowardly one!

 

The scolded Mr. Fei couldn’t react for a good while. Finally, he picked up his phone in anger and rose from his seat.
Your words! I will tell your parents about them!

 

Lin Ran snickered.
Be my guest…



 

After Mr. Fei left in anger, Lin Ran also picked up her shoulder bag…
 


Alright, Jiaoyang… why are you angry with this country bumpkin!
Chu Jiaoyang’s companion tugged at Chu Jiaoyang’s wrist and tried to make her sit back down.
 


Exactly! I heard that she grew up in a place filled with nefarious characters!

 


Right! I even heard… that her previous mother is a lunatic!

 


She’s different from us! The cheek of her to talk about morals when she grew up in that kind of place… Hur hur, according to those lowly citizens’ morals, they’ll simply sell their allegiance to the highest bidder!

 

Lin Nuan was about to get up when she was held back by Bai Xiaonian. Bai Xiaonian indicated for Lin Nuan to look at Lin Ran…
 

The corners of Lin Ran’s lips turned up as she pulled out two hundred-yuan bills and put them on the table, then walked towards Chu Jiaoyang’s table with Mr. Fei’s untouched coffee mug in her hand.
 

The startled Chu Jiaoyang subconsciously shifted backward together with her friends.
 

Lin Ran looked at Chu Jiaoyang with her pretty eyes. Chu Jiaoyang, who was wearing a frock, gripped her own skirt.
Lin Ran… what are you trying to do?
