Gu chengyan was confused by Qin Baiye's question. She just felt that Li Ruonan had almost stopped ye zhi by chance, so she brought someone over to join in the fun and help to improve Li Ruonan's favor of her. However, as soon as she got close to her, she realized that something was wrong and was wondering if she should leave for a while, so she was caught by Qin Baiye.
While she was in a hurry to figure out the countermeasures, Qin Baiye was already impatient to wait. Catch the thief and catch the king first. Since gu chengyan was Li Ruonan's backer, he should teach gu chengyan a lesson first.
He was the first to look at the three men behind gu chengyan, who were all in a daze. He raised his fist and rushed up.
Three against one, but the three men were no match for Qin Baiye at all. After a few rounds, they were beaten to death by him. Before they could even look at gu chengyan again, they covered their heads and ran around.
Gu chengyan was so shrewd that when she saw that Qin Baiye would never give up and that all her helpers had fled, she took advantage of Qin Baiye's conversation with ye zhiqiao and ran away without noticing her, leaving only Li Ruonan shivering in his spot.
By the time Qin Baiye realized it, even gu chengyan could not be seen.
The person who wanted to teach him the most was gone, so Qin Baiye had to take the second place and prepare to take Li Ruonan to the knife. Anyway, the first scene he saw when he came over was Li Ruonan pointing at ye zhiqiao's nose and scolding her, so it was appropriate to punish her slightly.
Li Ruonan was so scared that her breath stopped when she saw Qin Baiye approaching her with a sullen face. She could see clearly how Qin Baiye had taught those men just now. If it were her, she wouldn't have been able to take a punch.
And Li Ruonan was even less hopeful that Qin Baiye would let her go.
Li Ruonan shrank his shoulders and closed his eyes, giving up the fight. Qin Baiye's raised hand suddenly stopped.
Because ye zhiqiao, who was standing quietly by the side, suddenly said, "Forget it."
"Let her go this time since she's a first time offender." Ye zhiqiao moved closer to Qin Baiye and continued in a low voice, "I appreciate your kindness, but hitting a woman here is not good for you."
Originally, she was helping gu mohan to take care of ye zhiqiao. Since ye zhiqiao said no and Qin Baiye was not stubborn, she nodded and stepped back to the car across the road to wait.
Only ye zhiqiao and Li Ruonan were left. Whether they were frightened by Qin Baiye or moved by ye zhiqiao's actions, Li Ruonan looked at ye zhiqiao with a rare lack of hostility in his eyes. Instead, he looked like a timid little girl.
But even so, the words that should be said cannot be omitted.
Ye zhiqiao walked up to her and warned her word by word, "Did you hear that? I let you go because you're a first time offender, but if I do it again, I'm sure I won't be soft-hearted."
"...
"Let's go." Ye zhiqiao lifted her chin and asked her to leave.
As Li Ruonan walked slowly away, today's farce finally came to an end. Thanks to Qin Baiye's help, ye zhi managed to escape, and Li Ruonan and gu chengyan's plans fell through.
However, Li Qian's plan was very successful. She sent help to stall gu mohan's friend and dutifully did not release gu mohan until late at night.
After entering the house, gu mohan had just sat down beside ye zhiqiao to take a breath. After listening to ye zhiqiao talk about what happened after work, mother gu's phone immediately chased after her.
Without even guessing, gu mohan knew what she was going to say, but there was no way to escape, so he answered with a sad face.
"Hey, Mohan! Ruonan was bullied. Do you know about this?"
Mother gu came up and said to Li Ruonan. Gu mohan snorted in displeasure and then said, "I heard about it. What's wrong?"
"Ouch," grumbled Mrs. Gu, "Why didn't you help me when I heard about it? Ruonan is the daughter of a good friend of mine. I went to work at the gu family just to let you take care of her, but how did you..."
"During the day off, her personal safety is not under my control." Gu mohan interrupted her impatiently, then added, "And even during working hours, she took the initiative to pick a fight and fight with people. It's not my business."
Gu mohan was the best at making cold arrows at people. His mother choked on him. She was embarrassed and her tone became worse, "Then don't treat Ruonan as an ordinary gu employee. Take care of her more often. And today's incident. You should also find out who bullied Ruonan. You must teach that person to vent your anger on Ruonan!"
Isn't the person who taught Li Ruonan a lesson, the Qin Baiye he found? Hmph! It was Li Ruonan's good fortune that he didn't have the chance to teach Li Ruonan a lesson in person. It was a pipe dream to expect him to help with revenge!
"Impossible." Gu mo coldly refused, "She is willing to settle down to work at gu shi. I will never take care of her alone, and she was' bullied'... Did she tell you the reason? She provoked Zhiqiao first and wanted to hurt Zhiqiao, so she deserved it."
Li Ruonan didn't have much in mind, so she went to her mother to cry when she was wronged. She usually told her everything, whether she was reasonable or unreasonable, so mother gu already knew the reason for today's incident.
But between Li Ruonan and ye zhiqiao, mother gu would definitely support Li Ruonan unconditionally, so she explained to gu mohan, "Ruonan is honest and told me everything. Yes, she was a little impulsive today, but she didn't hurt ye zhiqiao in the end, did she? Besides, the reason why she and ye zhiqiao had a conflict is still ye zhiqiao."
"I heard that ye zhiqiao's nose and eyes have never been on Ruonan since the first time we met, and she has always been on the opposite side of her. And their sales department... The matter of choosing a minister, do you know how long Ruonan has been preparing and how much effort he has put into it? But ye zhiqiao came to fight with her again. I don't believe that ye zhiqiao would have won against Ruonan without your help. So..."
"Mom, you..." Gu mohan couldn't bear to hear her quibble about Li Ruonan and couldn't help interrupting.
But mother gu's attitude was very strong. She raised her voice and said, "Listen to me! I don't care what's going on between you and ye zhiqiao, but Ruonan, you have to take care of me, and the people who bullied Ruonan, you have to find them as soon as possible!"
Mother gu seemed to have taken on the demeanor of the head of the household to order gu mohan. If it was not important, gu mohan could give her this face, but it was related to ye zhiqiao, but firmly not!
