Chapter 547: Just Act Like We Never Met

Assistant Chen looked at the somewhat smug expression on Liu Rumeng's face and sighed helplessly in his heart.

This Miss Liu really has a lot of nerve... Once she goes up there in a moment, she probably won't be able to laugh anymore...

Assistant Chen did not reply with a single word; he simply pressed the elevator button in silence and brought her upstairs.

In the office, Li Beijue had already been waiting for a long time.

"President Li, Miss Liu has been brought up."

Assistant Chen knocked twice on the door outside to signal, then brought Liu Rumeng in with him.

But the moment she entered the door, she heard Liu Rumeng behind her sobbing, "Beijue! I knew you would see me. What happened that day—I was just momentarily possessed! I already know I was wrong..."

"Is that so?" Li Beijue spat out the two words coldly, making it impossible to tell his mood.

Liu Rumeng, however, acted as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw and hurriedly nodded: "Beijue, my father and sister have already scolded me severely. I know it was only reasonable for you to have people throw me out that day; I won't hold it against you... I came today just to tell you that, actually... actually, I have liked you all these years, which is why I was blinded by jealousy and did that kind of thing... Will you... will you forgive me, please?"

As she spoke, she put on a show of wiping away two tears.

Li Beijue did not speak, only looking at her with an expressionless face.

Liu Rumeng suddenly felt panicked, not knowing what Li Beijue actually meant, so she had to bite the bullet and continue acting pitiful: "Beijue, I really know I was wrong! My sister has already lectured me, saying that matters of the heart cannot be forced, and I have already thought it through, which is why I came to you specifically today to apologize... Now... there are people scolding me everywhere on the internet, and I have already learned my lesson, but my feelings for you are sincere! I don't hope for anything anymore, I just hope to still be friends with you, to care about you occasionally, just as a way to make amends to you..."

"The person you should be making amends to is not me." Li Beijue finally spoke a sentence.

Liu Rumeng paused upon hearing this. Thinking of Jiang Baobao, a surge of unwillingness rose in her heart, but she could only suppress it and say with lowered eyes and a submissive manner: "I know, the person I have wronged the most is Miss Jiang... but she must hate me very much in her heart. If she is still willing to acknowledge me, I would like to be friends with her too..."

"Hmph."

Li Beijue let out a cold snort.

Liu Rumeng's expression became even more urgent: "Beijue! Everything I said is the truth. I really like you, and I really know I was wrong! Just... just for the sake of the times I helped you in the past... forgive me once!"

Liu Rumeng bit her lower lip tightly, her mood incomparably anxious.

What exactly does Beijue mean?

If he didn't want to give himself a chance, why would he agree to her request to meet?

Liu Rumeng kept her head lowered, like a prisoner awaiting judgment, waiting for Li Beijue to speak.

But it would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned the past; the moment she brought up the past, the aura around Li Beijue became instantly colder.

"The past..."

He sneered, thinking of the content of the post he had just read, his face full of sarcasm.

"Chen Xi, bring your phone here."

Li Beijue said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Assistant Chen immediately understood his meaning, took out his phone directly, quickly found the post he had just read again, and handed it to Liu Rumeng.

"Beijue..."

Liu Rumeng's expression was somewhat puzzled.

Assistant Chen said in a low voice: "Miss Liu, you had better look at the content on the phone first."

Liu Rumeng nodded, not understanding, and only then lowered her head to look.

Immediately, after scanning it for only two glances, she widened her eyes abruptly, and her complexion turned deathly pale in an instant.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

Li Beijue asked in a deep voice, looking at Liu Rumeng with a gloomy expression.

Liu Rumeng was full of terror, her breathing becoming much heavier in an instant.

She then shoved the phone back into Assistant Chen's hand abruptly and hurriedly defended herself: "Beijue! I didn't do these things! These are all fake! People on the internet are saying all sorts of things now; I really didn't do it..."

"Chen Xi."

Li Beijue could not be bothered to keep listening; he interrupted her directly and said to Assistant Chen: "Go check the IP in that post right now. If it really is my classmate from back then, have him contact everyone who participated in this matter immediately and bring them here directly."

The moment his words fell, Liu Rumeng's figure staggered violently, nearly sitting on the floor.

Her face was ashen, and a drop of cold sweat fell from her forehead.

It's over... it's all over...

There were so many people involved back then; who knows if anyone is holding evidence against her?

If Li Beijue really has people go find them, he could find them all within an hour!

"Beijue... I..."

Liu Rumeng spoke tremblingly, seemingly wanting to say something more.

Seeing her expression, Li Beijue already knew that there was no need to go find any "witnesses."

"Liu Rumeng!!!"

He finally exploded, looking at the person before him with undisguised disgust.

Liu Rumeng shuddered violently, her eyes instantly turning red, and she really started to cry: "Beijue! I know I was wrong, Beijue! I... I had no choice but to do this... I have had a crush on you for so long, I really love you! I dreamed of marrying you, which is why I thought of such a way to get close to you. For the sake of our friendship over these many years... forgive me... I promise you, I will never do this kind of thing again! I will only stay by your side as a friend and behave myself..."

"A friend? Are you worthy?"

Li Beijue's tone was icy. Thinking that their acquaintance had been a deception from the very beginning, he could not help but be consumed by rage.

"Beijue..."

Liu Rumeng stepped forward with a trembling voice, still wanting to quibble.

Li Beijue continued sternly: "Don't call me so intimately; I don't want to be misunderstood! From now on, let's just act as if we have never known each other. You can get out!"

"Beijue! I really know I was wrong! Really..."

"Get out!"

Li Beijue spat out the two words coldly, his face showing suppressed fury.

Liu Rumeng was instantly too scared to speak, yet she still stood in place, unwilling to give up.

Li Beijue, however, had already lowered his head and stopped looking at her, threatening her coldly: "For the sake of Baobao and your sister, I will let you off this last time. Don't let me see you again! Otherwise, just wait to go to prison for what happened last night!"

"Beijue..."

Liu Rumeng still wanted to say something, unwilling to give up, but Chen Xi suddenly blocked her path.

"Miss Liu, let's go, otherwise if Li Beijue has the Security Guard come up and drag you down directly, it will be too unsightly."

Chen Xi "warned" with a smile.

Liu Rumeng was crying, her face a mess, and upon hearing this, she had no choice but to take one last look at Li Beijue before turning around in a wretched state and walking toward the office door, the last shred of hope in her heart completely extinguished.
