Chapter 8: Protect Someone
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Zhu Qian saw Xia Ran's expression change, she knew that she had angered her.
Hmph, she really couldn't stand the shock!
She warned Xia Ran, "You better leave Mu Hua obediently. Don't think of ways to pester him just because of your superficial skills. He's not a man you're worthy of, understand?"
With that, Zhu Qian prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, her hair was suddenly grabbed!
Xia Ran rushed over and grabbed Zhu Qian's hair. She tore it apart mercilessly while cursing, "You dare to say that I'm a sex toy? Who do you think you are? You're not even a sex toy!"
"Ah!" Zhu Qian's scalp hurt and she couldn't help but scream.
The students passing by wanted to stop the fight, but Xia Ran immediately stopped and said to everyone, "I'm sorry, but this person is too thick-skinned. I can't help but want to hit her!"
Zhu Qian covered her head with a pained expression. "What did you say? You!"
"Then tell everyone, why are you looking for me?" Xia Ran tidied her clothes and looked like an obedient female university student again.
How could Zhu Qian say that? How could she say that she was here to warn Xia Ran to get a divorce?
Everyone looked at Zhu Qian curiously while waiting for her answer. However, Zhu Qian couldn't bring herself to say it. She could only glare at Xia Ran before leaving dejectedly.
Xia Ran looked at the back figure and the anger in her heart surged again. At the same time, she was filled with uneasiness.
She stood on the spot alone and thought about what would happen if the man found out.
On the other side, after Zhu Qian returned to her car, she immediately messed up her hair even more and even pinched her face to make it look red.
Then, she called Mu Hua.
"Muhua…" As soon as the video call went through, Zhu Qian burst into tears. "I really don't want to live anymore…"
Mu Hua looked at the woman in the video. Her hair was messy and her face was red, as if she had been beaten. He frowned and said, "What happened? Don't cry. Tell me slowly."
Zhu Qian sobbed. "I'm sorry. I was too curious about the Xia Ran you were talking about, so I secretly came to school to see her. In the end, she found out. She yanked my hair and hit me. Sob…"
Her pitiful cry made Mu Hua's expression turn ugly.
"Where are you? I'll pick you up," Mu Hua said.
"I, I was at the west gate of her university. I was really embarrassed. Many people watched me being beaten…" Zhu Qian choked on her tears.
However, she was already extremely smug.
See, she was more important.
Mu Hua drove to his destination. On the way, he called Xia Ran. "Xia Ran, you're too much. Who allowed you to hit her?!"
"Sir, I—" When Xia Ran heard Mu Hua's words, she knew what he was talking about and anxiously wanted to explain.
That evil woman actually complained first.
If Zhu Qian hadn't come to show off and spout nonsense, would she have attacked?
But now, Mu Hua didn't listen. He was already certain that Xia Ran was the one who caused trouble for Zhu Qian. He only warned her coldly, "Don't find trouble with her anymore. If you're unhappy, look for me directly!"
Xia Ran was stunned. Did he want to protect that woman that much?
The sense of heartache made her unable to recover for a long time.
Tears were about to flow from her eyes, but she held them back.
It was clearly not her fault, but the man didn't even ask clearly and didn't give her a chance to explain. He believed that woman. In the man's heart, she was the unimportant person, right?
Xia Ran took a long time to calm herself down before returning to class alone.
She ignored the man and didn't want to explain.
Similarly, Mu Hua didn't contact Xia Ran for a few days.
How could a high and mighty man like him lower himself to coax a young lady? Women were the ones who sucked up to him.
Xia Ran looked at her phone from time to time, but she never received any calls or messages from the man. Her heart became heavier and heavier.
"Ranran, are you still sick?" On the day of Mu Hua's book signing, Xu Jing couldn't help but ask Xia Ran.
Xia Ran was a die-hard fan of Mr. Mu. She used to be so fanatical.
It was impossible for her not to go because of a cold!
Xia Ran shook her head gently. "I'm not going. I'm not well yet. I don't have the strength."
She was like a piece of wood that had lost its vitality.
