After stopping being a simp, the school heartthrob cried and begged to get back together.

Chapter 70 Did she complain to you?

"Purple Butterfly, no matter what, I'm very grateful to you." I said gratefully.

"Sister Shen Yan, you're being too polite. I should be thanking you." Ling Zidie smiled and said, "If it weren't for you, I would still be sitting in a wheelchair, paralyzed from the waist down, being waited on by others every day, living without any dignity. I would rather be dead. You gave me a new life, and I don't know how to repay you."

"Then you should cooperate well with Mu Xi," I said with a smile.

Ling Zidie looked at the project and said to Mu Xi, "Sister Mu Xi, this is the first task my father gave me. You must help me!"

"Miss Ling, please don't say that. This time, I'm the one who asked you to invest." Mu Xi was flattered.

"Oh, Sister Muxi, you can just call me Zidie," Ling Zidie said with a smile.

"Okay." Mu Xi asked curiously, "Why are you called Zi Die?"

“Before I was born, my parents went to New Zealand for a trip. My mom saw a group of purple butterflies and suddenly had a stomachache, which led to my birth. My parents thought the butterflies brought me here, so they named me after them and even built a Purple Butterfly Garden for me to live in,” Ling Zidie explained.

"Oh, I see." Mu Xi suddenly realized.

The two then discussed the collaboration.

I sat next to him, handling some work on my phone.

It wasn't until evening, after dinner, that Mu Xi and I left.

on the way back.

Mu Xi, driving the car, said, "Shen Yan, I never expected you to know Ling Zidie."

"It was just a coincidence," I replied.

"And that screen, I just found out she bought it as a gift for you, but it turns out you're the owner of the screen. How did this happen?" Mu Xi hadn't mentioned it before.

I smiled speechlessly: "Zi Die must have misheard. When I was treating that wealthy businessman, he called me. Zi Die was right next to me. I lifted the screen slightly, and Zi Die vaguely heard it. She's been keeping it in mind ever since. That's why she wanted to find someone to buy it when she heard about the screen being auctioned off, right?"

"So that's how it is." Mu Xi suddenly realized.

Suddenly.

Two cars sandwiched my car and Mu Xi's car from the front and back.

Mu Xi tensed up: "What are they going to do?"

"Stop the car," I said in a deep voice. "Don't rush, slowly apply the brakes."

Mu Xi did as I said.

She parked her car on the side of the road.

It was already 10:30 p.m.

There aren't many people on this section of the road.

A group of burly men got out of the cars in front and behind, each carrying a baseball bat.

"Mu Xi, don't get out of the car, call the police immediately." I pushed open the car door.

"Shen Yan, come back!" Mu Xi called out anxiously.

But I know.

If I don't get out of the car, they'll beat Mu Xi up too.

"Who sent you?" I asked coldly. "Zhao Baixue or Mo Ruchu?"

They didn't answer.

“I advise you not to ask any questions. Just obediently let us cripple your hand,” said a man with a small mustache. “That way, you won’t get hurt anywhere else.”

I scoffed, "You want to cripple my hand? Then try it!"

When the man with the mustache saw my provocation, he immediately signaled to the group behind him to attack.

I gave a cold laugh.

They just rushed towards me.

A group of men in black suits ran out from the side.

The man with the mustache and his companions were taken aback; they had no idea how so many people had suddenly appeared.

I crossed my arms and said, "Give them a good beating, and then find out who told them to do this!"

"Yes!"

When the man with the mustache and his men realized the situation was bad, they turned and ran.

But these bodyguards in black suits were well-trained.

Even with sticks, Mustache and his gang were no match for them.

In no time at all, they had dealt with the mustachioed man and his gang.

Then came a barrage of punches.

The screams continued.

Mu Xi got out of the car: "Should we call the police?"

"We can hold off on reporting it for now," I said, leaning against the car door.

"Who are they?" Mu Xi asked, puzzled.

"I hired them myself, specifically to protect myself," I said calmly. "I know how dangerous Xinjing City is. How could I be so reckless without being fully prepared?"

Mu Xi breathed a sigh of relief: "With such a group of people following you, I can finally rest assured."

after awhile.

Zhou Beiguang walked up to me: "Professor Shen, they confessed. They said that Mo Ruchu sent them."

"Is there any evidence?" I asked.

“With only call records and no concrete evidence, it would be easy for them to recant their testimony if we were to call the police,” Zhou Beiguang explained.

I nodded: "It seems we can't touch Mo Ruchu for the time being. You should teach them a harsh lesson, and then spread the word that anyone who dares to help Mo Ruchu will suffer the same fate."

"Understood." Zhou Beiguang walked over and told everyone to lead the group with the mustache to the nearby grove.

I pulled Muxi into the car.

Before I closed the car door, I heard a scream coming from the woods.

Mu Xi asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

"Mo Ruchu had someone cripple my hands." I said coldly, "I'll just send someone to deliver a few to her."

Mu Xi: "..."

-

The next day.

Mohist family.

Mo Ruchu came out of her room and went downstairs to have breakfast.

Unexpectedly, Huo Yubai was sitting in the living room.

"Yu Bai, what are you doing here?" Mo Ruchu asked in surprise.

"It was your grandfather who invited me here," Huo Yubai said coldly.

“It’s been a long time since we last met.” Mo Ruchu sat down next to him.

Huo Yubai said coldly, "We don't need to see each other often."

Mo Ruchu was embarrassed.

Fortunately, no one else was around today; it was just her and Huo Yubai at the dinner table.

"Yubai, I haven't bothered you these past few days. I really have listened to you." Mo Ruchu said cautiously, "Don't always have such a stern face. If there's anything I haven't done well enough, just tell me and I'll change."

Huo Yubai said expressionlessly, "I heard you look down on ordinary people?"

Mo Ruchu paused: "Who told you that? Shen Yan? Did she complain to you? Are you two in contact?"

"You think she's as bored as you?" Huo Yubai's eyes darkened. "I heard you tell everyone you're my fiancée?"

"It wasn't me who said it, it was someone else." Mo Ruchu distanced herself from the situation: "What they said isn't entirely wrong, after all, the Huo family and the Mo family have a marriage agreement, and right now, only the two of us in the family are the most suitable, so they..."

"The marriage agreement between the Huo and Mo families has nothing to do with me. If you're so eager to marry into the Huo family, you can find someone else with the surname Huo." Huo Yubai's eyes were cold and sinister. "I heard you even sent people to cause trouble for Shen Yan?"

Mo Ruchu tensed up. "When did I cause her any trouble? Yesterday, it was because of her that I was kicked out by Zi Die, and I didn't say anything. Yu Bai, our two families are old friends, and we are the closest of relatives. Are you saying this to protect her?"

Huo Yubai looked at her coldly: "Since you look down on ordinary people so much, why don't I bankrupt your family too?"
