My sister regretted sending me to the correctional facility.

I became the target of everyone's criticism.

Zhao Ming stared at me with a strange and suspicious look on his face.

He asked tentatively, "Lu Yi, when did you get here?"

I gave a cold laugh. Of course I knew what Zhao Ming was thinking.

He wasn't sure when I arrived.

Because there should be three other men inside the private room.

But now, I'm here.

The other three men, however, have disappeared.

This already explains the problem.

I said, "I'm a bar employee, I've been here the whole time, is there a problem?"

Zhao Ming's expression became even stranger.

"When did you start working here? Weren't you already...?"

"What happened? What are you trying to say?"

Zhao Ming quickly covered his mouth, almost letting something slip.

He quickly denied it: "No, I didn't mean to say anything?"

Shu Xin, who was standing nearby, quickly comforted Gu Yao.

"Yaoyao, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Yao began to recount what happened in the private room.

She woke up to find me taking off her clothes.

Upon hearing this, Shu Xin immediately lashed out at me: "You, Lu Yi, how dare you tarnish my Yao Yao's reputation!"

Gu Yao immediately sensed something was wrong.

She quickly protested, "No, I am still innocent, his evil scheme failed!"

Shu Xin was stunned when she heard this. She thought I had already taken Gu Yao on the spot.

But Shu Xin turned and said, "You filthy man, you tried to molest my best friend! I'm calling the police and having you arrested right now!"

When I heard that the police were calling, I remained completely calm.

What am I afraid of if I've never done it before?

Besides, I'm not the one who's trying to take advantage of Gu Yao tonight.

It was Zhao Ming and Shu Xin, that despicable couple who colluded!

So I said, "Okay! Call the police! Let them check the surveillance footage and see what happened tonight."

After I said that...

We haven't received a response from Shu Xin yet.

Zhao Ming immediately stopped Shu Xin.

"Call the police? Why would you call the police! If you do, Gu Yao's innocence will be impossible to prove!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yao was deeply moved.

She thought Zhao Ming cared about her innocence.

Little did Zhao Ming know, he was afraid that if he actually called the police, they would come and retrieve the surveillance footage.

This explains everything that happened between him and Shuxin at the bar tonight.

Everything will be exposed on the surveillance footage.

Shu Xin also realized what had happened, and felt a chill run down her spine, realizing that she had almost caused a disaster.

She quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, Yao Yao's innocence is the most important thing. But if we just let this scoundrel go like this, isn't that letting him off easy?"

Gu Yao stared at me with anger in her eyes and said, "I'm going to report him and get him fired!"

And that's how Gu Yao reported me.

However, the result of the report was...

I wasn't fired.

The reason is also very simple.

The person protecting me is Lin Xia.

In addition, there was the conflict between Lin Xia and Gu Yao earlier.

This created a tense atmosphere between the two women.

When Lin Xia heard that Gu Yao was going to report me, she immediately denied it, saying that no one could fire me.

Because of this incident, Gu Yao personally took her best friend to the bar the next day to confront Lin Xia.

Although Lin Xia is usually gentle and kind to me, she is ruthless when she gets serious.

She gave Gu Yao a thorough dressing-down.

Even if Gu Yao and her best friend Shu Xin were combined, they wouldn't be enough to stop Lin Xia from scolding them.

In the end, both women left with tears in their eyes, feeling extremely wronged.

I stood there, completely stunned.

When Lin Xia saw me, she suddenly looked embarrassed.

"Lu Yi, did the way I swore just now ruin my image in your eyes?"

I immediately shook my head, expressing my sincere opinion.

"Of course not, I like your frank and straightforward personality."

Upon hearing what I said...

Lin Xia was even happier and immediately offered to treat me to a nice meal.

This should be the first time in my life that I have gained the upper hand in front of Gu Yao.

In the past, no matter what happened...

I always went along with Gu Yao. She would criticize me and scold me, but I never argued back.

Lin Xia and I had dinner at an upscale restaurant that evening.

She saw the handprint on my face and asked, "Lu Yi, does your face still hurt?"

I shook my head: "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Lin Xia sighed: "You're still too soft-hearted. Even though she's Gu Yao, you shouldn't hit her like that."

“I’ve already seen the surveillance footage. You went to save her entirely out of a sense of justice and good intentions, but she wronged you because she didn’t appreciate it.”

"Do you want me to hire a lawyer for you, give all this evidence to the lawyer, and then sue those three people?"

I listened to Lin Xia's suggestion and knew that he meant well for me.

But then I thought about submitting the evidence to a lawyer and then suing those three people.

These three people's futures are probably ruined.

I don't care about those three.

It was Aunt Gu.

If Aunt Gu finds out about Gu Yao and Zhao Ming...

I'm afraid it will make my heart condition flare up again.

I said, "Let's not prosecute them for now."

Lin Xia asked, "Then what's the evidence?"

I replied, "Keep the evidence safe, we'll talk about it later."

Then, Lin Xia gave me the video evidence on the USB drive.

During the meal.

Lin Xia suddenly asked me out of the blue, "Lu Yi, Zhao Ming's company used to be your company?"

"That's it."

What do you mean by "sort of"?

Faced with Lin Xia's curiosity, I recounted to her everything Gu Yao had said, including the explanation that my father had given me the company and that it was temporarily being managed by Zhao Ming.

After hearing this, Lin Xia immediately expressed her anger.

"Gu Yao has gone too far! This is a company left by your father, how can you hand it over to Zhao Ming to manage?"

"If I had known, I shouldn't have signed the contract with Zhao Ming!"

I know Lin Xia wanted to get revenge for me.

But I told her.

"Lin Xia, when it comes to business collaborations, don't act impulsively because of me."

"This company was left to me by my father, and one day I will take it back with my own hands!"

Lin Xia looked at the way I was talking.

Her eyes held a hint of admiration.

This was the first time I'd ever seen her look at me like that.

Lin Xia said, "Lu Yi, I've noticed that you're different from before. You've changed."

I smiled and touched my face.

"What has changed?"

Lin Xia said, "Your mind has changed!"

She gently tapped my head with her fingertip.

I stared at her, dumbfounded.

She giggled, her smile as radiant as a flower, warming everyone's heart.

And just after that incident.

An even bigger crisis is brewing.

This is not only directed at me, but also at Gu Yao.

The next day, rumors and gossip began to circulate.

The above is about my relationship with Gu Yao.

They say Gu Yao was supposed to be getting married, but she was cheating on him with another man at a bar.

The news report even included a photo.

It turned out to be a photo of me and Gu Yao together.
