Chapter 9: The media is in a state of frenzy
Gu Jingze woke up and frowned. For the past three days, he had been seeing those eyes in his dreams. She never for once showed up in his office, unlike other women. It seemed as though, she didn't care. That hurt him deeply.
Was she perhaps playing hard to get? If so, she was playing it well. She didn't even call him or send a text message. She didn't even reply him. What was he thinking? She really didn't care. That, hurt him a lot. Angrily, he went to brush his teeth.
First, he'll check all the women in the bar he went to. He had to find her, the woman with the eyes he loved so much. He wanted to see how her entire face was, how her heart was. He paled. Why was he having such thoughts? Shaking his head, he dabbed water on his face.
Meanwhile, Yu Yan woke up with a big smile on her face. Today, she could successfully pay Russo. One debt out of her lists. She felt in a very happy mood. Soon, very soon, she'll be free.
"You're a meanie." She remembered the guy she saved. She blinked rapidly and bit her lips. What? Since when did that start. She trudged into her bathroom to get ready for school. Since she was seeing Russo early in the morning, she planned on taking on a hard core look.
After bathing, she put on a black hoodie wore a pair of black trousers, and her limited edition black boots. She put on a black eyeliner, with her make up in all she looked badass.
She grabbed her bag which contained her laptop, money and books and walked towards their designated meeting spot. She jumped over several containers and empty glasses of alcohol, some broken. She finally made it inside an uncompleted building. They were so many rugged looking men in there.
"Princess, you sure you have the money?" An white man , whom she assumed to be Russo said. God, she hated herself. Soon, very soon, she'll be back to normal. Then, she'll deal with all the people on her black list. One after the other.
Ignoring his question, she opened her bag and slammed the pile of money on the table. Russo smirked and motioned to one of his boys to grab it.
"Tsk Tsk, it's a pity she's loaded. I planned on having fun with her, can we, boss? " One of the men asked and instantly two of them, gripped her shoulders. She turned to Russo in a glare.
"Yes, you can." The man said and Yu Yan's eyes widened. She had expected him to caution his men. Was he toying with her? If so, he was playing with fire.
"You wouldn't dare." She spat in English. She was fluent because she had lived abroad, most of her childhood.
"So the damsel speaks, release her." Russo ordered. He felt it was a shame she had to leave. Such a pretty Asian. Her voice was so good to listen ti as her face was so relaxing to look at. He had wanted to hear her speak and God, if her voice wasn't melodious.
Yu Yan glared at the bastard and stretched her hand.
"You want me?" He teased chuckling and her gaze turned cold. If anything right now, she only wanted his head.
"Fine, I'll write you a receipt." Russo said and grabbed a book from across the table. He had to write her a receipt, stating she had fulfilled all the conditions and paid him fully.
"How did you earn it?" He asked and she stiffened. She didn't expect him to ask such question. Most of them don't ask.
What could she say?
"Oh, I helped a drunk dude he in exchange of thirty thousand yuan." That sounded so wrong, so she said.
" Legal work." It was legal enough, wasn't it. Russo just glanced at her and signed the receipt.
Yu Yan smiled broadly as she entered Winters Academy. She had successfully paid Russo, hence had won herself lots of time before her next debt is due. She couldn't wait to tell Ximen and Xiaoyu.
Ding

ding
ding....Her phone beeped continuously. She wondered what was going on? She ignored them and went into the bathroom to clean her hideous make up. She didn't want anyone to see her like that, she was already considered freakish enough.
As she grabbed the make up remover out of her purse, her phone rang.
"Give me everything I want....." She pursed her lips. She had totally forgotten to change her ring tone.
"Xiaoyue, what happened?"
"Where are you right now?" Her friend sounded as out of breath.
"School. What's wrong?" You Yue never called her during school time.
" Listen to me, you're still wearing your hoodie, huh?"
"Yes...why?"
"where are you?"
" The bathroom."
" Listen to me carefully, I want you to stop whatever you're about to do, cover your face and meet me at the back of the school."
" Why?" Yu Yan was stupefied. Being a drop out of school, Ying Yue cherished education so much. Why was she asking her to skip school all of a sudden?
"The media is a state of frenzy." Ying Yue yelled in panic.
"How does that have to do with me? The media always has one news or the other." She retorted.
"I know. I can't explain now, I need you to just do as I say. Cover your face and meet me now. Immediately I hang up, please switch off your phone, immediately." Ying Yue said and hung up.
Yu Yan was so confused. However, she did as her best friend said.
"The penthouse." Ying Yue told her chauffeur and turned to Yu Yan who had just entered the SUV. She hugged her tightly.
"Are you okay?" Ying Yue asked but Yu Yan pushed her away.
"Explain yourself?" She said angrily.
"Hey, you can't be mad at me. You're all over the news." Ying Yue retorted, frowning a bit.
