Chapter 18 - Media attacks
The sudden attack, the faces of the bystanders, all of a sudden, the overwhelming public opinion nearly drowned the entire South Bridge. She didn't know how to explain, so she could only straighten her back and say word by word, "I … I … I did!"
"Then how do you explain this?" Amongst the crowd, a magazine smashed directly into South Bridge's face. She picked it up and looked at it.
That scene, the woman's face and the South Bridge were so similar. Although the South Bridge knew that she was innocent, but what would these people think, say about her, and how would they report her current reaction?
Any one of the above-mentioned crimes was an insult to South Bridge's character!
However, how could she explain such an uncontrollable situation?!
South Bridge's speechlessness made the reporters think that she was feeling guilty, so she pursued him even more relentlessly. One by one, she came forward to interrogate him. Fortunately, a row of black-clothed people rushed over and stopped her, so at least she didn't cause any trampling accidents.
At this moment, a black Laudira sped over and came to a sudden halt. The rapid friction between the tires and the ground attracted everyone's attention. All of their attention was on the owner of the luxurious car!
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yu Cen Ran stretched her legs and walked out of the car with a domineering aura. She casually took off her sunglasses and threw them away, exposing the anger and coldness on her face to the crowd.
Yes, he was very angry!
Seeing Yu Cen Ran, everyone automatically opened up a path for him. His aura was simply too strong. Occasionally, there would be a few reckless people who swallowed their saliva, cringed their necks, and obediently retreated to a side.
Yu Cen Ran's hands were in her pockets as her deep eyes locked onto the woman who had curled up into a ball. She seemed to be crying, her face buried between her knees as her shoulders shook up and down as if she were sobbing.
Yu Cen Ran suddenly felt uncomfortable. He took a few steps forward, and someone picked up a camera to take a picture. Yu Cen Ran punched him and knocked him down onto the ground.
With a kick, the camera slid across the ground for a few dozen meters. The plane's fuselage was damaged and it smashed into the lamppost. In an instant, it broke into pieces and fell to the ground!
Before that person could even moan in pain, Yu Cen Ran coldly glanced over and said, "If anyone dares to take photos again, I, Yu Cen Ran, will make sure to make them disappear from this city immediately!"
Yu Cen Ran could do it.
The group of reporters did not dare to act presumptuously anymore. They all lowered their heads and stood to the side.
Yu Cen Ran came to the South Bridge. Just as his hand touched the South Bridge, she suddenly shrunk like a frightened animal and started licking the wound.
"It's okay, South Bridge, don't be afraid."
His voice was unexpectedly gentle. The reporters were all taken aback when they heard it. "Shua, shua, shua." They quickly wrote something down in their books and then reluctantly were all confiscated by the black-clothed person.
Hearing this, South Bridge lifted her head from her lap and looked down at Yu Cen Ran. Her eyes were a little red, and her eyes were filled with tears.
Yu Cen Ran felt his heart ache. He stretched out his hand and stood against the light. Behind him was the bright sunlight, but he could not see the expression on his face. He thought of what those people had just said and did not respond.
The hand that Yu Cen Ran stretched out was stuck awkwardly in the air, and the air suddenly became quiet.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
In the end, the South Bridge did not pay any attention to Yuke Cen Ran. It stood up on its own with a face full of stubbornness and was about to move out of the way.
Yu Cen Ran's eyes narrowed dangerously and his brows turned cold. Suddenly, his thin lips curled up into a mocking smile as he grabbed onto South Bridge's hand and pulled her into his embrace with all his might.
His hand gripped her waist tightly, but his strength was still increasing. "You don't like being in contact with me that much, huh?"
"Yu Cen Ran, please let me go. Please have some self-respect."
Self-respect? As soon as Yu Cen Ran heard the news, he immediately abandoned all the important meetings and rushed over. He didn't receive a woman's favor, and instead allowed himself to be carried away in front of everyone's eyes?
Yu Cen Ran was going crazy with anger!
Grasping her chin, Yu Cen Ran's face was filled with anger. Her eyes were about to burst out into flames, while the words on South Bridge's face seemed to say, "I refuse to admit defeat." She was always making him angry!
Suddenly, Yu Cen Ran let go of his hand. His gaze swept across South Bridge's chin and his expression became even uglier — a huge bruise, as if someone had punched him!
Her thin lips twitched as she gnashed her teeth. "Who did it?"
The South Bridge ignored him, ignoring him. Yu Cen Ran's throat moved, and he was on the verge of exploding. He looked at a black-clothed man, and with a single movement of his long leg, he kicked with all his might.
Nan Qiao could not believe what she saw. Her eyes widened as she cursed, "Yu Cen Ran, what kind of crazy behavior are you playing?!"
"If he doesn't protect you properly, the rice barrel will be punished."
Such a light tone was completely meaningless, as if others didn't care at all.
Should Nanqiao rejoice, should she be the woman that Yu Cen Ran had pampered in her hands, or should she be cold? If she met such a man, was there nothing she could do to change it?
Seeing that Yu Cen Ran was aiming at another outlet, South Bridge anxiously said, "I fell down accidentally, it's none of my business!"
"Is that so?" Yu Cen Ran stared at the South Bridge as if he could read her mind. Even if he didn't say it, she would pretend to be stupid.
It's just a game.
Finally, Yu Cen let out a sigh of relief. He grabbed onto South Bridge's waist and said, "Okay, whatever you say is fine."
After this incident, even South Bridge dared not disobey Yu Cen Ran's intentions, as they were afraid that he would seek revenge on an innocent person again.
Yu Cen Ran hugged South Bridge's waist. South Bridge Head leaned on Yu Cen Ran's sturdy and broad shoulders as they got on the car. Behind them, the media was once again madly clapping, sending the warning into the distance.
This time, there was another headline: Domineering CEO's Pet Lover!
At the corner of the hospital, Xue Yuwei, who wore a mask, thought that she was very smart. She had fully appreciated the sorry state that Nanqiao was in just now, and now she was extremely satisfied.
However, Yu Cen Ran's reaction was also not forgotten. Even after the car had driven away and left everyone's sight, Xue Yuwei was still able to remember her every move towards the south bridge.
When had she ever seen Yu Cen Ran so interested in a woman? From the moment the South Bridge appeared, Xue Yuwei knew that the main character had returned. She and Gu Qiao were just dolls; dolls that she didn't want to touch to see!
The huge psychological gap caused Xue Yuwei to be so jealous that she went crazy. Why would she be able to obtain Yu Cen Ran's heart?! Nanqiao's face was filled with reluctance, even disgust, but Yu Cen Ran still loved her so much.
As for Xue Yuwei, she had been so cautious in the past, so observant in her words and appearance, yet she had actually pushed Yu Cen Ran further and further away. She wasn't willing to accept this, she wasn't willing to accept it!
With jealousy and hatred filling her heart, Xue Yuwei logged into her mailbox. She opened the previously edited message, copied and pasted it, selected the same recipient, and then pressed a button to send it.
When she saw the status displayed on the email, Xue Yuwei smiled in satisfaction. She thought to herself, "South Bridge, South Bridge, don't you know how to seduce men? Why can't you do something that would seduce the Yu Family's Eldest Young Master?"
