Chapter 56 You Are Nothing
Xie Na's voice was filled with coldness and cruelty. Figures like Chen Yang and Liu Ran, without background or power, had met their end in Shi Yong's hands more times than she could count.
Therefore, neither Xie Na nor Shi Yong paid any heed to the attitude of Liu Ran and her companion.
Moreover, they were prepared, absolutely determined not to let them leave.
Liu Ran, huffing with anger, grabbed Chen Yang's arm and prepared to walk out of the private room.
Just then, Shi Yong stepped forward, his burly physique blocking Chen Yang and Liu Ran.
His eyes betrayed disdain and a cold smirk, his hands already reaching for the nunchucks at his waist.
Liu Ran, fearing a confrontation between Chen Yang and Shi Yong, immediately and nervously shielded Chen Yang, turning to glare at Shi Yong. "Shi Yong, what exactly do you want? This is Haiyue Hotel. Do you still intend to fight here? Do you have any concept of law in your mind?"
Shi Yong burst into laughter. "Liu Ran, you're still so naive. If the law were useful, would you have become an ugly mess? If the law were useful, could a good-for-nothing hoodlum like me have achieved my current status?"
"Let me tell you, in Qingzhou City, Hong Sanye is heaven, and I am the emperor of this land. It's all your fault for agreeing to work overseas before. There's no backing out now."
"However, I have an idea. How about you and your useless boyfriend go work overseas together?"
"So, today, you either give me this house, or you obediently come with me."
Liu Ran's fingers trembled with anger at his words.
At that moment, Xie Na suddenly reached out and grabbed the veil covering Liu Ran's face.
With a cold laugh, she yanked it off and sneered at Liu Ran, "What's the use of you wearing this veil all the time, you ugly monster? Do you think that by wearing it, no one will know you're a pathetic freak? Hahaha."
Xie Na laughed heartily and threw the veil on the ground.
However, in the next instant, Xie Na and Shi Yong's eyes widened simultaneously.
They stared at Liu Ran's face, their expressions filled with disbelief.
Xie Na was first astonished, then a flicker of jealousy appeared in her eyes. She hadn't expected Liu Ran's face to have recovered, and even less so that Liu Ran was truly this beautiful.
What struck her most was that her delicate and pretty face looked nothing like a woman who had been out of university for four years!
Instead, she appeared as fair, delicate, and tender as she had when she first entered university, like a dewy young girl of twenty.
Shi Yong's jaw dropped as he stared at Liu Ran's face, momentarily speechless.
His mind instantly flashed back to university. The first time he saw Liu Ran after enrolling, he had been captivated by her beauty. He had pursued her for over two years, but without any success.
He had thought Liu Ran had long since become a hideous monster, but he never imagined that her appearance had completely recovered, matching her former glory.
He began to stammer, "Liu Ran, your face… it's healed."
Xie Na, already furious and jealous, heard Shi Yong's stammering voice and saw the look of adoration and astonishment on his face. Her jealousy intensified.
She had been considered a beauty in school, the class flower of the foreign languages department, and had many suitors after she started working.
However, she had never seen Shi Yong look at her with such breathtaking admiration.
Xie Na roughly grabbed Shi Yong's arm and snapped, "Shi Yong, what are you doing? We have important business to attend to."
Shi Yong snapped back to reality, but the murderous intent was gone from his face. Instead, he smiled and said to Liu Ran, "Oh, old classmate, I never expected you to look exactly the same as you did in university. How about this, we can discuss anything. Let's sit down and talk, alright?"
Liu Ran shot Shi Yong a glare. "No need. My boyfriend and I want to go home now."
With that, Liu Ran took Chen Yang's hand and walked towards the exit, her small hand tightly gripping his arm, fearing he might get into a fight with Shi Yong.
She was like a mother hen fiercely protecting her chick, guarding Chen Yang's safety.
Chen Yang walked with Liu Ran, staying behind her. Although her shoulders were slender, it felt wonderful to be protected.
Standing behind her, Chen Yang's heart was filled with joy, as if he had received the most precious treasure in the world.
Chen Yang glanced at Shi Yong, whose eyes held undisguised possessiveness.
Chen Yang understood that this Shi Yong could not be spared.
However, seeing Liu Ran's worried expression, Chen Yang did not act immediately.
Liu Ran pulled Chen Yang out of the private room and quickly descended the stairs to the parking lot.
Panting, she quickly got on the electric scooter and said to Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, let's hurry, hurry home! Don't let that guy catch up to us. He's too terrifying, he's become so strange."
Chen Yang nodded. "Okay, don't worry, wife. We're out now. He wouldn't dare chase us."
Liu Ran shook her head. Sitting behind him on the scooter, she gripped Chen Yang's shoulder. "I don't know why, but I feel like Shi Yong is so scary, like he could eat people. We really need to be careful."
"Just now, I was truly afraid he would suddenly attack you."
"In university, he was already known as a school thug, often beating up students who studied well. Now, he's even more frightening."
Chen Yang rode the electric scooter rapidly back to the Liu family's residence.
Meanwhile, inside the private room.
Xie Na's jealousy erupted. She angrily pinched Shi Yong's arm and yelled, "Shi Yong, what do you mean by this?"
"When we came, we agreed to send that bitch away. Two million per person. You send her to the Dark Night organization overseas, and you get two million. "
"Are you reluctant to send her away now because you think she's pretty? Shi Yong, can't you be a man?"
"Have you forgotten how she rejected you back then? Isn't this the perfect time for revenge!"
Shi Yong became impatient. With a *slap*, he directly struck Xie Na across the face.
Shi Yong pointed at Xie Na's head and roared, "What the hell do you think you are to lecture me? Do you really think you're my wife just because you've been with me for three months?"
"Let me tell you, you're nothing. I've slept with at least two to three hundred women in the past few years. Every one of them was a university student! Every one of them had long legs! And you're nothing."
As he spoke, Shi Yong kicked Xie Na, sending her flying backward. He grabbed his car keys and walked downstairs, a sinister smile on his lips.
"Liu Ran, oh Liu Ran, I never imagined my luck would be so good! I couldn't have you in college. But now, I am the underground emperor of Qingzhou City, and I won't let you go again. Hahaha..."
