Chapter 89: Cinderella and Trash Prince Episode 10
Su Luo finally understood what the butterfly effect was. Because of her, "Qing Xiaoyue" left and returned with ease, just for one night, almost nothing happened, but Lin Chengyuan's heart ached unbearably, and it seemed that their old feelings were about to rekindle. Not only that, but also let the classic scene in the book where the hero saves the beauty become the male lead watching the female lead fight with someone else, thinking about it is also funny. Originally, she thought she would be very happy, but actually not, maybe because it was too easy, and there was no sense of accomplishment.
So how did things end up in the end?
Because Yang Ningning and the big sister had a serious fight in public, disturbing social order, the police rushed over and took them back to the station. After understanding the situation and making a record, they determined that it was a misunderstanding. Although no one was injured and it did not constitute a crime, it still had an impact, so they decided to give both of them a light punishment, detaining each for 10 days.
Lin Chenghua was worried about Yang Ningning, and he began to doubt his feelings for her. However, he wouldn't just stand by and watch her get into trouble. Even if they were just ordinary friends, he would still help her out. After all, their past love had been so passionate and intense that it couldn't be extinguished in just one night. Even if they really did break up, she was still his ex-girlfriend, and he wouldn't let her suffer. He used his family connections to bail her out that same night. It wasn't a big deal, and the officer in charge of the case was willing to do him a favor. With just one phone call, he agreed to release Yang Ningning. As a matter of routine, she was fined 200 yuan and given a few words of criticism and education. The other woman involved in the fight was also released, as it wasn't clear who was at fault. They couldn't arrest one person and let the other go, so Yang Ningning benefited from Lin Chenghua's intervention.
Su Luo originally planned to let it go, but one move after another, also didn't want Yang Ningning to suffer an unjust disaster because of this matter. Objectively speaking, she was originally just unlucky and hadn't done anything wrong, so knowing that the person had been released wasn't disappointing either. Anyway, what should be returned to her would naturally be returned by herself.
Yang Ningning, being barefoot, was not afraid, but Lin Chenghua, who was wearing shoes, was affected by this incident. As a well-known young master in C City, he had appeared on the news several times before, so it's no surprise that some people recognized him among the crowd of onlookers that day. In the internet age, everyone has a mobile phone, and taking pictures of excitement and uploading them online has become an instinctive reaction. Although this incident did not cause much commotion nationwide, it was quite popular in C City's forum.
Ordinary people love topics like mistresses, illegitimate relationships, and wealthy families. Whether true or false, this incident has all these elements and happened right in their own backyard, so how can the people of C city not be excited? At first, everyone was just discussing the event itself, but as Lin Chenghua's identity was revealed, the discussion slowly turned to whether Lin had any unusual hobbies, such as a masochistic tendency or role-playing, or if he was really that stingy, forcing his girlfriend to sell wine or her body to make a living. In short, nothing good was said about him.
Although the post was later deleted, Lin's family still got a lot of trouble. At that time, they didn't even dare to go out, fearing being recognized by others. Many acquaintances and business partners came to inquire about them, either out of gossip or concern for their financial situation (they couldn't even afford to raise a girlfriend, and had to work part-time selling wine). Anyway, it was all very annoying.
Also because of this, Lin's father and mother had an even worse impression of Yang Ningning. Previously, they didn't like her, but now it was disgust or hatred. They ordered Lin Chenghua to break up with her immediately. If it were in the past, Lin Chenghua would have definitely refused outright, or pretended to be stupid and avoided it. But this time, he hesitated, and for some reason, Qiu Xiaogu's figure kept flashing through his mind.
If I broke up with Ningning and then pursued her again, would she agree?
And then there's you guys again.
That night, Lin Chenghua had to follow Yang Ningning to the police station, while the others returned home. Su Luo also followed, but not to watch the fun or get close to Lin Chenghua - she didn't have that free time. Instead, the big sister's child clung tightly to her and wouldn't let go, wailing loudly whenever anyone else approached. The police officer was helpless and asked her to come along, at least until the child calmed down and was willing to be held by someone else or fell asleep.
Su Luo didn't expect the child to recognize her so quickly, but it's also understandable. In an unfamiliar place, surrounded by so many strangers, his only familiar mother had become so savage and terrifying, ignoring him while fighting with others. The little heart must have been hurt. At his most vulnerable moment, someone was willing to comfort him in a soft voice, giving him a hug, he naturally trusted this person wholeheartedly and held on tight.
Su Luo could only see things through to the end, and followed them to the police station. After coaxing the child to sleep, the dispute between the two adults also came to an end, and the police officer agreed to release him, handing the child over to his mother. He refused Lin Chenghua's offer to send him home, and returned alone, falling asleep as soon as he lay down.
The rest of the little friends were in high spirits and didn't have a bit of sleepiness.
They used to have a WeChat group called "Dacheng City Empire Drunken Gang", but now they've rebuilt another one overnight, called "Lin Chenghua's eyes are blind", and chatted till the wee hours.
From Ji Xiaogu's change, Lin Chenghua looked at her every eye, every dedication, to Yang Ningning's embarrassment, Lin Chenghua's awkwardness, to guessing what would happen after the three entered the police station, in short, everything was discussed in detail, plus each other's wild imagination and spicy comments.
Chen Yaoyao is undoubtedly the best spokesperson for Ji Xiaogu. Everyone was surprised at how much she had changed, and some people suspected that she had come back specifically to steal Lin Chenghua away, a plot twist that's not uncommon on TV. Chen Yaoyao naturally denied it outright, explaining that Xiaogu had been deeply traumatized by the loss of her parents at a young age, which made her extremely introverted, something that could happen to anyone in her shoes. Lin Chenghua's betrayal was like rubbing salt in her wounds, and under the double blow, she almost collapsed completely, but fortunately, she pulled through, and instead became more open-minded, slowly becoming brighter day by day, and she herself is a witness to this transformation.
Women of course all dislike the mistress, and because Su Luo has a goddess-like yet down-to-earth personality and a likable profession, they naturally all stand on her side. Men also have a better impression of beautiful and gentle women, so although Lin Cheng Hua is their little good friend, everyone's comments are still one-sided, basically all helping Ji Xiao Gu and the two Lin/Yang people, or maliciously waiting to see Lin Cheng Hua make a fool of himself, betting on whether he will regret it, when he will openly admit his regret, whether he will go back to pursue Ji Xiao Gu, and if he does, whether he can catch up.
In short, all sorts of gambling dens and bizarre bets have even stolen the thunder from Duan Xuan and Chen Yaoyao's wedding, becoming the hottest topic in friends' circles.
No. 2, The wedding was held as scheduled.
Su Luo made a great effort to dress up Chen Yao Yao, making her look so beautiful that Duan Xun couldn't help but want to take her to the bridal chamber immediately. Someone even joked that they wanted to rob the bride, saying that if they had known Chen Yao Yao was so beautiful, they would have taken action long ago, which made Su Luo laugh.
She herself wore a low-key dress from Chen Yao's online shopping, didn't put on much makeup, and quietly played the role of a green leaf among several bridesmaids.
However, the situation was such that there were still many unfamiliar guests who would ask about her. It's not clear who played a prank, but someone let a man who obviously wanted to pursue her go and ask Lin Chenghua for information, and as a result, he really sat next to Lin Chenghua, pouring out his love for the "unknown bridesmaid" throughout the wedding ceremony, asking Lin Chenghua to help him out, even calling him brother, which almost drove Lin Chenghua crazy.
Plans can't keep up with changes, Suoluo had made preparations for a protracted war, but didn't expect things to progress so smoothly, so smoothly that it exceeded her expectations, and was not what she wanted to see.
It's not that I want to tease the two, but if they separate too early, things will deviate from the original plot, and some scenes won't be born. For example, a month later, Lin Chenghuai gets injured in an important part while helping Yang Ningning fight off thugs, which is something she's been looking forward to. So, I have no choice but to slow down for now, at least not letting Lin Chenghuai's feelings for her deepen further. The best solution is to leave first, believing that without her interference, the two are destined lovers and won't separate so easily.
So, two days after Chen Yaoyao's wedding, she bid farewell to her uncle's family and went to the nearby city of S. Coincidentally, it was a fashion capital, and Louis' brand also had a flagship store there. In three months, they would be hosting a grand fashion event, so she went ahead to make some preparations. Anyway, it wasn't far from City C, and coming back to visit her grandmother or bringing them over to play for a few days was quite convenient.
Although reluctant, Grandma was not an unreasonable old lady, but a well-educated intellectual who supported her having her own career and was proud of her. After detailed instructions and preparing a large pile of things for her, she let Ji Wei take her to the train station.
When she arrived, the manager of the flagship store came to greet her in person, with a respectful attitude, not slow at all because of her youth. The place to stay, the workspace she was used to, the fabrics she commonly used, and the driver's car for traveling were all arranged properly, probably due to Louis' prior arrangement, making her feel extremely warm-hearted.
Working days are busy and fulfilling, every day when I'm free, I call the two dads to chat, or talk about family matters with grandma and grandpa. Time flies by quickly. From time to time, I also use a "god's perspective" to pay attention to the progress over there, indeed, the plot is powerful, the male and female leads won't easily separate, everything is within her expectations.
Lin Chenghua was under pressure from his family and had some thoughts about breaking up with Ji Xiaogu, but at this critical moment, he coincidentally got involved with Yang Ningning, although it was a drunken mistake, he couldn't deny it, and Su Luo also suddenly disappeared, leaving him without hope, so he could only tell himself to cherish the person in front of him and make amends with Yang Ningning.
Afterwards, the hero rescues the beauty with a critical injury to a vital part of her body. The Lin family was turned upside down for a while before they could only accept it. The matter was too shameful, so naturally, it was concealed from outsiders and they began their long journey of seeking medical treatment, all of which were carried out in secret.
Soon, Su Luo will have to return to C City again because the male lead is about to appear.
