Chapter 201: Too Many Enemies
After entering the villa, Su Yan specially went to check the surveillance cameras at the entrance. She found that Wei Shani and Zhong Cuiping were no longer blocking the entrance. It seemed that Wei Zhou's ability to keep his family in line was still very impressive.
There were only a few days left until the spring festival. Tang Yitong and Chai Xingyu planned to go to Feng City. They specially came to ask Su Yan if she wanted to go with them. Su Yan originally didn't intend to be a third wheel, but after thinking about it, she agreed.
Feng City was an ancient city with a very long history. It was one of the most famous cities in the entire country. Although it was very technologically advanced, Feng City still retained many of the old buildings and cultural landscapes. Su Yan agreed to go to Feng City for the spring festival because she already had a property in Feng City. It was left to her after her parents died. She even buried her parents in Feng City, so Feng City could be said to be her hometown.
Originally, she had planned to stay in Feng City for a long time, but three years ago, she married Wei Zhou and became the daughter-in-law of the Wei family. She couldn't go back to Feng City alone, right? It had indeed been a long time since she went back to visit, so she wanted to take the opportunity to go back and visit during the spring festival. That city had memories of her youth. As for Wei Yanbing's matter, she didn't intend to let it go. Now that Zhong Cuiping and Wei Shani had caused such trouble, Su Yan was more determined not to let it slide. Everyone had to take responsibility for their own actions, Wei Yanbing's drunk-driving and hit and run was illegal in itself. She would let him spend the spring festival inside.
When she was in the Wei family, Wei Yanbing had been studying abroad, so they didn't have much contact. It wasn't until last September that he graduated and returned to the country. In the past three years, it was only during the spring festival that Wei Yanbing came home.
Every time Wei Yanbing returned to the country, he would bring a group of scoundrels he had met abroad back to the Wei family. On the second spring festival after her marriage to Wei Zhou, Wei Yanbing's friend had drunk too much and jumped into her arms while he was still drunk. In the end, she gave him a big back throw on the spot. That person almost died on the spot, and this violent scene happened to be recorded by Wei Yanbing, who was hiding in the dark. He even used it as blackmail to force her to apologize. Su Yan remembered everything. She couldn't forget it even if she wanted to. Now that Wei Yanbing had taken the initiative to provoke her, as his former sister-in-law, she naturally had to settle the score.
Su Yan pursed her lips. Three years was neither short nor long, but many things had happened. During that period of time, there were too many people who had offended her and bullied her. There were so many that she couldn't even count them.
As she thought of this, she suddenly thought of someone. It was Jiang Ruoruo, the "helpful netizen" who had secretly helped her deal with Zhao Lili. She didn't have a deep impression of this woman because she didn't seem to have met her before. Therefore, she was unfamiliar with Jiang Ruoruo.
However, she had heard Wei Shani talking about Jiang Ruoruo to others before. She said that Jiang Ruoruo's personality was a little aloof and that she didn't really hang out with the daughters of wealthy families like them. It seemed that her best friend was her college roommate. From Wei Zhou and Jiang Yuan's point of view, she and Jiang Ruoruo were on opposing sides. She didn't hate Jiang Ruoruo, and of course, she didn't like her either.
As for why Jiang Ruoruo would help her online, she couldn't figure it out. She felt that only by meeting her could she understand the other party's true purpose.
The next day, at two o'clock in the afternoon.
Su Yan had nothing to do after lunch. She strolled around the agreed location for a while before entering a cafe and waiting. This cafe was quite trendy, and it had become very popular on the internet recently. Many people had come here because of its popularity.
Coffee and desserts had a fatal attraction for girls. However, she wasn't that interested in coffee. Jiang Ruoruo seemed to like coffee very much, and the location was also chosen by Jiang Ruoruo.
During her three years in the Wei family, the people Su Yan met were basically all contemptuous and disdainful towards her. Some of them even scolded her in person. Some were even like Wei Shani and Zhao Lili, who attacked her personally. It was rare for someone to speak up for her, so she agreed to meet Jiang Ruoruo at this place.
Although today wasn't the weekend, and it was working hours, plus many companies were on holiday, and migrant workers returned home for the spring festival, so the whole city seemed to be in a bit of a slump, this cafe had quite a number of customers. It was clear how popular this cafe was.
Chapter 202: Vengeful
In the innermost private room, Su Yan had only sat for less than two minutes when the door was pushed open from the outside. Jiang Ruoruo, who was wearing a pink sweater, walked in and greeted Su Yan, "Miss Su, long time no see."
"Long time no see, please take a seat." Su Yan nodded.
Jiang Ruoruo was tall and slender, and she had exquisite facial features. She was born with the appearance of an innocent girl. When she spoke, her voice was gentle and soft. When she smiled, she looked very cute, and just looking at her smile could make one's mood improve.
After the two of them sat down, Su Yan's eyes met Jiang Ruoruo's. As soon as their gazes met, Jiang Ruoruo felt somewhat bashful. Looking at Su Yan's almond-shaped eyes, she felt her heart race, and she didn't know where to place her hands.
When she saw her flustered appearance, the corners of Su Yan's lips curled up. "Don't be nervous. I don't eat people."
Jiang Ruoruo quickly said, "Huh? No, no, I don't mean that."
Su Yan raised her eyebrows. "What do you mean then?"
After saying that, she even handed the coffee that the waiter brought in to Jiang Ruoruo and pushed two plates of exquisite desserts in front of her. Jiang Ruoruo looked a little embarrassed and said, "Actually, I'm just nervous."
"Nervous? Huh... then why are you nervous?" Su Yan looked interested.
Jiang Ruoruo waved her small hands and said, "Oh, I don't mean anything. Please believe me."
"Okay, let's get down to business. I asked you out today because I want to ask you why you helped me?" Su Yan sipped her coffee and said. After saying that, she put down the coffee, held her cheek with one hand, and looked at Jiang Ruoruo with her almond-shaped eyes.
Jiang Ruoruo took a deep breath and said, "I only helped you to let more people know the truth. I don't have any other thoughts." "Is it really that simple?" Su Yan asked with a laugh.
Jiang Ruoruo nodded. "Yes, because I know very well what kind of person you are, Miss Su."
"What kind of person I am?" Su Yan was curious.
Jiang Ruoruo took a deep breath. "According to my observation, although you look weak, you're actually someone tough who won't let others off if they offend you."
Hearing this comment, Su Yan was stunned at first, then she covered her mouth and giggled. She felt that Jiang Ruoruo wasn't old, but she was still very accurate in judging people. She was indeed a person who wouldn't let anyone off if they offended her.
Su Yan admitted, "You're right. I am this kind of person. I won't let anyone off if they offend me, and I will take revenge."
Jiang Ruoruo was a little surprised, then she felt awkward. She thought that Su Yan would be unhappy, but she didn't expect Su Yan to be so frank and admit it directly. Moreover, for her evaluation of herself, she added the words, "take revenge."
"What I mean is that although you are very tough and even ruthless, everything you do is based on the same principle," Jiang Ruoruo explained.
Hearing her words, Su Yan suddenly felt very intrigued. Jiang Ruoruo was like a fan of hers, like those fan of idols in the entertainment industry. As long as they had their eyes on her, they would support her regardless of the consequences, even when faced with thousands of people pointing fingers at her. She felt that Jiang Ruoruo seemed to be developing in this direction.
"Don't just drink coffee. Eat something too. The desserts here are pretty good. If they don't suit your taste, order something else." Su Yan pushed the two desserts forward.
Seeing how gentle she was, Jiang Ruoruo blushed. She said with a flattered expression, "Then, then I'll order. I've wanted to come to this shop for a long time."
"Just order whatever you want. Even if you want to order one of each, I have enough money," Su Yan said with a smile.
Jiang Ruoruo thought that Su Yan had misunderstood and quickly explained, "No, no, I didn't mean that. I didn't mean that you're poor. I just don't know what you like to eat, SO..."
"Alright, there's no need to explain. I'm not as complicated as you think, and I'm not that stingy. You'd better hurry up and order something to eat," Su Yan interrupted with a smile.
Jiang Ruoruo blinked her eyes, and a smile appeared on her face again. She called the waiter over and ordered three types of trendy desserts, then started chatting with Su Yan again.
Looking at Jiang Ruoruo, who was drinking coffee, Su Yan smiled and asked, "Miss Jiang, have you really never hated me before?"
Hearing this question, Jiang Ruoruo said in surprise, "What? Hate you? Why? You're beautiful and have a gentle personality. How could I hate you? If you hadn't married the wrong person, things wouldn't have turned out this way. If you had married my brother and become my sister-in-law, those people would never have dared to treat you this way."
Chapter 203: We've Met Before
She was very nervous when she was suddenly asked such a serious question. She had said it without thinking. She regretted it right after she had said it. Moreover, she regretted it so much that her pretty face flushed.
Su Yan raised her eyebrows. "This is strange. Why do you have such a good impression of me?"
After asking, she also regretted it. Wasn't this nonsense? In Jiang Ruoruo's heart, Su Yan was already Jiang Ruoruo's sister-in-law, so how could Jiang Ruoruo not have a good impression of her?
Thinking of this, Su Yan was speechless. She treated Jiang Ruoruo as a friend, but Jiang Ruoruo treated her as her sister-in-law. This was awkward.
Jiang Ruoruo took a sip of coffee and looked at Su Yan with a serious expression. "Miss Su, actually, we've met before."
Su Yan frowned slightly. "We've met before?"
She tried her best to think about it, especially the memories for the three years she had been married into the Wei family. However, even after rummaging through her mind for a long time, she still couldn't find any memories of Jiang Ruoruo. Moreover, they indeed hadn't met during that period of time. Otherwise, with her memory, she would definitely have an impression. However, judging from the meaning behind Jiang Ruoruo's words, not only had they met, but it was also quite significant.
Jiang Ruoruo seemed to have guessed that Su Yan had forgotten about it. Although she had been prepared, the disappointment on her face couldn't be hidden. However, the gloominess on her face disappeared quickly. No matter what, being able to have coffee with Su Yan today was already something that made her very happy. "It's okay. It's understandable. Six years ago, at a nightclub in Jiangdu, we did indeed meet once. That day, when my classmates were drinking together at the nightclub, a few hooligans came to flirt with the female classmates, so we fought with the hooligans. At that time, many people were beaten until their heads were bleeding. The hooligans called more hooligans to surround us. In the end, it was you, Miss Su, who personally helped me out." Jiang Ruoruo's gaze became vacant as she reminisced and told her story.
When she thought about the past, Jiang Ruoruo couldn't help but laugh. Despite how elegant and pure she looked now, back when she was still a student, she was a famous delinquent in school. She was a troublemaker, but no one could do anything about her. After all, the entire Jiang family had only produced one daughter for three generations. Naturally, the entire Jiang family treated her like a treasure and spoiled her. Even her eldest brother, Jiang Yuan, felt a headache when he saw her.
There was nothing he could do. She was his only sister. At most, he could only scold her a little, but she didn't take his scolding seriously.
What Jiang Ruoruo remembered deeply was that when she was in her third year of university, she was at the stage where she was rackless and hot-tempered. She was rebellious and defiant. She liked to play with people who she thought were fashionable and cool, and the way she dressed was also very different from the way she dressed now.
That day, a group of them went to a nightclub to play. Because it was a classmate's birthday, everyone drank a lot. However, although she was a woman, she had a good alcohol tolerance. Even after drinking a lot, she was only thirty percent drunk. Other than that, even though she was rebellious, she also had a sense of propriety. However, it was this point that made her stand out from her playmates.
Alcohol emboldened people. One of the students got drunk and impulsively provoked the hooligans in the bathroom, so the hooligans came to find trouble with them. In the end, the male student who caused trouble was afraid and ran away in fear. The other male students who didn't leave had already been knocked down. At that time, only she and the other two female students were still standing.
At that time, the nightclub was extremely dark. Because of the fight, all the unrelated people had been cleared out. As she looked at the lewd and arrogant gazes of the hooligans, Jiang Ruoruo experienced fear for the first time in her life, and at that moment, she realized that her so-called rebelliousness and dressing like a gangster wasn't even worth mentioning in the cruel and shady society.
Seeing the other two female students being dragged away by a few hooligans, Jiang Ruoruo was scared to tears. Without asking, she knew what she and the two female students were going to experience.
She remembered very clearly that at that time, the boss and the service staff in the bar all watched in amusement. No one wanted to stand up for them at all. The two female students screamed. The crying and the tearing sounds made her whole body tremble uncontrollably.
Chapter 204: The Fairy Sister
She forcefully held back her tears and wiped them off her face. She knew that she couldn't cry. She wanted to scare the hooligans, so she took out her phone and threatened them. However, before she could ask Jiang Yuan for help, her phone was thrown to the ground and smashed.
Just as the two hooligans were about to drag her away, Su Yan, who was sitting at the bar counter, threw a bottle of wine over. The bright red wine splashed everywhere, and broken glass fell everywhere. Because she went to the bathroom and vomited previously, Su Yan wasn't cleared out yet.
Because she was too scared, her memory of that time was a little fragmented. She only remembered that she and her classmates were so scared that they curled up in the booth. The other two female classmates were all crying in disheveled clothes, and her body had never stopped trembling.
In her memory, Su Yan was like a heroine from ancient times. Her movements were nimble and swift. In just a few rounds, she had knocked more than a dozen hooligans on the ground. Even the group of hooligans who arrived later didn't dare to make a move. Su Yan had a relaxed look on her face from the beginning to the end, as if she didn't care about these people at all.
It was on that night that Su Yan completely changed her worldview. A beautiful girl, a girl who looked fair and pretty, soft and fragile, was actually able to knock over a dozen men. It turned out that girls could be so tough.
Su Yan was elegant and beautiful. She was calm and collected in the face of danger. She was brave in the face of injustice. She dared to punish and eliminate evil. Arrogance, coolness, and trendiness weren't worth mentioning in front of a girl like Su Yan. The impact this incident had had on Jiang Ruoruo had completely changed her life. After that incident, she changed her original cell phone number and completely cut off all contact with her so-called buddies and friends. Those edgy and weird clothes were sold on second-hand websites. If she really couldn't sell them, she would just throw them away. This was because she was determined to become a beautiful and valiant person like Su Yan. She wanted to be the talented and reserved daughter of the Jiang family.
Later on, she signed up for Taekwondo, judo, and kung fu classes. She also taught herself yoga, self-defense techniques, and so on. Now, she looked very weak, but in fact, she was already a high-level martial artist. If a fight broke out, she could singlehandedly take out three to five adult men.
Su Yan's memory was very good. When Jiang Ruoruo was still at the beginning of the story, she immediately found that memory. Just as Jiang Ruoruo said, that happened six years ago. The current Jiang Ruoruo was really different from the young girl who had bleached hair, a nose ring, a revealing midriff outfit, and baggy pants. She looked completely different.
Su Yan smiled and said, "Oh, so it's you. No wonder you said that we've met before. But you've changed a lot now. You've really changed."
Jiang Ruoruo looked embarrassed. "Don't mention it. I was too young and did a lot of ridiculous and embarrassing things."
Su Yan praised, "Everyone has a past that they can't bear to look back on because that's what you have to go through to grow up. But you're very outstanding now, and you're very beautiful."
Hearing her idol praise her, Jiang Ruoruo looked flattered. "Really?"
Su Yan nodded. "You can be more confident. That way, you'll become even more beautiful."
Jiang Ruoruo stamped her feet excitedly. "What should I do? What should I do? I'm so happy!"
Being praised by a goddess like Su Yan was such a great feeling. She felt over the moon. She felt even happier than she would be if she won the first prize in the lottery.
Su Yan raised her eyebrows and looked at Jiang Ruoruo's sparkling eyes. She smiled and said, "Anyway, thank you for what happened on the Internet."
Jiang Ruoruo finished her coffee, then she said happily, "You don't have to thank me. I'm the one who should thank you. It was you who guided me in the right direction. That's why I became better little by little. By the way, can I call you sister fairy in the future?"
Su Yan hooked her finger and said, "Calling me that makes me feel like I'm being ridiculed by a group."
Jiang Ruoruo said sweetly, "I'm telling you very seriously. I really, really like you. Can we become friends? Can I treat you to a meal in the future?"
Su Yan was a little stunned after being confessed to. Looking at Jiang Ruoruo's sparkling eyes, she had the illusion that she was facing Tang Yitong. Unknowingly, she had gained another hardcore fan.
