Chapter 324 Final Confrontation: Ran Xueyi And Steffanie (1)

After Ran Xueyi sent out two videos anonymously to the public, she waited for a whole day to pass before she sent out the entire unedited video. The media quickly caught on to this and shared it on their Weibo accounts, and many people saw it.

This time, even if Steffanie wanted to use the short video to her advantage and accuse Ran Xueyi of bullying her previous manager to whitewash herself from her sins, she couldn't do it. Because the whole video revealed the actual events that took place that night. It would be a big slap to her face if she went for it and used the short video against Ran Xueyi only to find the whole uncut and unedited video was posted to prove her accusations wrong.

Steffanie was at her wit's end. She had never fought with anyone like this before.

Previously, those who think they're someone big and better would show their attitude and fearless character at first, but when Steffanie targets them, they will instantly hide inside their shells like a turtle.

Hence, Steffanie was used to getting what she wanted and achieving the desired result.

But from now on, she might not have any chances to bully other people anymore.

Standing in front of the hospital where she heard Ran Xueyi was hospitalized, Steffanie became more overwhelmed by the sense of her pride being trampled upon by someone who stood higher than her. This feeling must be the same as those other stars she bullied in the past must have felt before.

But she had no choice.

She was the loser in this war, and the loser should bow down to the victor, no matter how embarrassing and humiliating that was.

As Steffanie was about to take a step forward into the hospital, a tall man in a black suit arrived at her side.

His face was devoid of any expression as he said, "Miss Chang, please follow me. I will guide you to the room."

He knew who she was. Steffanie wondered if her face was already spread around the country to everybody who recognized her. Funnily, for the first time in her life, she became a superstar who everyone could recognize at a glance. In the past, she had to make some waves to attract the public's eyes.

"Miss Chang?" Seeing her standing there instead of following him, Guo Yun stopped in his tracks and turned back to look at her.

After a long time, he heard her say, "It's nothing. I'll follow you."

As they made their way to the VIP area of the hospital, Steffanie and Guo Yun did not waste on a simple conversation, nor did they ask each other any questions. Especially Steffanie, who was forced to come to meet Ran Xueyi after the whole uncut video was released that morning and endangered her father's company and position.

As the elevator dinged to indicate that they had arrived at their desired floor, Guo Yun stepped two steps forward and warning said, "Before going inside the room, we would like to inspect your things."

Steffanie followed his line of sight and blushed slightly. She couldn't help it. The man in front of her was by far the most handsome man she'd ever met. He could even pass as a beautiful vase* (has good looks but not good at acting) in the entertainment industry. Why was he working under Ran Xueyi?

But this man... he just told her to inspect her things. Does it mean he had to do it personally? The thought somehow decreased the unease and discomfort in her heart. Having a handsome and tall man inspect your body doesn't seem like a bad idea before going to prison, right?

Steffanie thought for a while before saying, "Should I take off my blazer?"

Guo Yun didn't even blink as he replied, "No. There's no need to."

After saying this, he signaled for a female bodyguard to come forward and use a metal detector to check Steffanie's body. After a full body inspection and not detecting any harmful object attached to her body, Steffanie was finally allowed to walk through the corridor and stand in front of the room where Ran Xueyi was inside.

Many thoughts ran through her mind as soon as she stood in front of it. Shi Lian repeatedly told her that she succeeded in disfiguring Ran Xueyi's face and refused to come out of the house; her reaction also seemed not fake. Ran Xueyi's face must be wrapped with bandages, right?

On the other hand, these past few days, Ran Xueyi never showed her face to anyone and didn't intend for the public to find her whereabouts. This cemented the idea inside Steffanie's mind that Ran Xueyi was too devastated and ashamed to show her 'new' face.

Steffanie stepped back a bit, focused her attention on Guo Yun, and asked, "Is... is it really okay to go inside?"

It was an inquiry, but Steffanie's expression was a bit too weird for someone asking a very concern-sounding question. It was as if she was anticipating a negative answer to her question.

A strange color flashed in Guo Yun's eyes, and he didn't even think as he responded, "We've already done a full body inspection."

Her question was left unanswered, and she could only step forward.

Steffanie's heart made a loud thumping sound. The excitement and joy she will feel when she sees Ran Xueyi's disfigured face would erase all fears she will eventually feel when she is sent to prison.

...

The door opened, and the first thing that Steffanie saw was the grandiose hospital room that did not lack anything. The room was even more similar to a five-star presidential suite than a hospital room for a patient. There was even a fridge, small kitchen, long sofa set, queen's bed that would fit three people and still have ample space for another person to sleep in, and a 70-inches TV that showed today's news of Steffanie's atrocities and lies.

And on that queen's bed, a woman was sitting on it and reading a book on her lap. She seemed to be entirely immersed in what she was reading, but under those eyes, they appeared to be a little bit of absent-mindedness that couldn't be concealed.

The image of a fragile beauty was laid upon Steffanie's eyes, and she couldn't help but feel mesmerized by it.

Until — the woman looked up.

Steffanie had guessed more or less that the woman in front was Ran Xueyi, but it still shocked her.

Because the woman in front of her was contrary to what she was expecting.

There was no bandage, no disfigurement on her face. None of the things she anticipated seeing came true; instead, Ran Xueyi looked even more ethereal than the last time she saw her.

—— A smile appeared on Ran Xueyi's lips. It was the welcoming and friendly smile, unbefitting for someone vicious like Steffanie.

The smile on Ran Xueyi's lips deepened: "You're finally here. Sit down."
