Chapter 77 - SHE WAS LEFT WITH A BROKEN WRIST

"That slap serves you right,just be grateful that Ge'er is drunk or else it won't have ended with just a slap maybe your pretty wrist would have been chopped off",Xiao Bai said.She made sure to hold onto Lie Ruge tightly so that she would not slip off from her grip.

"Just be thankful too because daddy called Lie Ruge to say the closing speech or else I would have beaten senses into the two of you",

"Are you sick in the head?How can you say that you will beat senses into Ge'er and I?Can you listen to yourself,do you even know what Ge'er is capable of?You should never say such gibberish when Ge'er is sober or else I can't imagine what will happen to you?",Xiao Bai warned her.

"I don't think you still have the time to talk to me because everyone is expecting your drunk best friend to address everyone present here today.I think you should worry about that",Changle smiled happily.

"You......",Xiao Bai stammered.She really needed help in order handle the socialites but no one was available to assist her."What took Yun Yi and Tan Fan this long to find their Third brother?I really need their help right now",Xiao Bai muttered to herself while letting her eyes roam through every corner of the ballroom in search of either Yun Yi or Tan Fan but before she realized what was happening,Lie Ruge got out of her grip.She immediately headed to the stage as though she understood what her uncle meant.She was staggering while walking to the stage.Xiao Bai rushed to get a hold of her but Changle and her friend obstructed her path.They made sure she couldn't go to help Lie Ruge out.Everyone was awestruck to see a drunk lady maintained her balance with a five inches high heels.No matter how she staggered,she didn't fall or knock herself against anyone.Taking a hold of the microphone,she smiled at everyone warmly.Everyone was once again charmed by her beauty.Under the rays of light,it was then everyone realized that she was bathed in the sea of diamonds.Her clothes,shoes and jewelleries were glittering under the white rays of light.

"Hello everyone,I'm so....glad that today's banquet was a success...and I thank everyone on behalf of the whole Empire Corporation for being here to celebrate with us and take care",She address them in her most melodious voice.Everyone in the ballroom was bewitched by her sweet and soothing voice,no one even paid attention to all her stammering.Lie Changle and her father could not control their anger any longer.Even Changle's friend was fuming in anger.Public disgrace was the most painful disgrace anyone could ever face.It will remain a part of you for the rest of your life and that is what they wanted to do to Lie Ruge.Since they have tried everything possible to harm Lie Ruge today but to no avail they have to resort to their last plan.Stepping down from the stairs Lie Ruge suddenly slipped, just when she was expecting to feel pain,someone pulled her into his embrace.She lift up her eyes to gaze at the man who just saved her from falling down but to her utmost disappointment he wasn't the person she was expecting.She couldn't hide her disappointment.

"CEO Lie,are you alright I hope you didn't get hurt?",The guy asked with a look of concern clearly visible on his handsome face.She found him very handsome but his looks could never be compared to a certain guy she knows.

"I'm alright and you?",Lie Ruge asked.She noticed that he has bruises on one of his hand.The instant Xiao Bai saw her Ge'er falling down the stairs,she pushed Changle and her friend with force.She didn't careless about hurting this two ladies because they dared to hurt her Ge'er again in her presence.Due to the impact of the force,Lie Changle hit herself roughly against one of the tables while her friend was pushed roughly to the floor.Xiao Bai rushed to Lie Ruge 's aide,"Ge'er,are you Ok?Why did you have to listen to Director Lie's word?I would have protected you no matter what or don't you trust your BaiBai again",Xiao Bai said overwhelmed with tears.Lie Ruge felt bad seeing her best friend nearly in tears because of her.She pulled Xiao Bai to her embrace.

"BaiBai,you are the only person that I trust most in this world and good news,I am not drunk.Although Changle drugged my wine I'm really alright or have you forgotten the pills my research team had developed two years ago?But you have to play along with the act and help me to sort this guy out hmmm?",Lie Ruge whispered.

"Ok,I'm so glad you are alright but don't forget to receive the normal punishment for deceiving me",Xiao Bai whispered back.The guy was quietly watching their exchange,he found them very cute.He was very mesmerized by their beauty.Too bad Xiao Bai interrupted his fantasy,"Hello,thank you so much for helping my best friend out.We will make sure to return the favour if we ever come across each other again",Xiao Bai said while escorting Lie Ruge to where Changle and her friend were nursing their wounds.Firefly was already there waiting for them."Boss I'm sorry,I was not able to protect you.Punish me for my incompetence",Firefly said sternly.

"You will have to await your punishments later on because as you can see,Ge'er is not feeling too well",Xiao Bai answered her in Lie Ruge's stead.

"I will escort the two of you out then",Firefly said.

"Who says you can leave after hurting me this badly?Just take a look at my hands and my legs,it is all bruised just because of you and my beautiful face was not spared in the process",Changle said painfully.By then her father was standing close to her.

"Are you sure you can handle the consequences?As you can see,this lady standing here can be very brutal",Xiao Bai said.

"Then let me see what she can do",Changle said while raising her bruised hands to give Xiao Bai a slap but Firefly held unto her hands with force.She turned her hands to her back with force which made her cry out in pains,even her father could not bear to see his beloved daughter in pains.

"Please let go of me",Changle pleaded but Firefly exerted more pressure to her hands which made Changle cry out even louder.

"Please let go of my daughter.Xiao Bai how can you be this heartless to do this to your best friend's cousin,aren't you afraid that Lie Ruge will make you pay for it after she is sober?Please tell your bodyguard to let go of my daughter's precious hands",Lie Feitian pleaded further.

"Director Lie,who do you think Ge'er will deal with after she is sober?Is it her best friend who helped her or her cousin who had the audacity to drug her?",Xiao Bai asked with a an indifferent expression.

"We will talk about that later.So please,I'm pleading with you,tell your bodyguard to let go of my daughter's wrist",

"As long as you have learnt your lesson",Xiao Bai signalled Firefly to let go of Changle's wrist.But before Firefly relieved her of her wrist she applied just a little more pressure which gave a cracking sound.Changle scream in anguish.

"The next time you try this nonsense again,it won't be just your wrist that will get broken but if you are lucky to be alive then your whole will not be intact",Firefly threaten fiercely while escorting Lie Ruge and Xiao Bai out of the ballroom.
