Chapter 548: No One Should Have It Easy

Liu Rumeng came downstairs alone, exited the Li Corporation building, and finally could not help but stand by the side of the road, her face covered in tears.

How could things have turned out like this?

That bunch of sluts actually kicked her while she was down, digging up all her past affairs on the internet!

Beijue must not want to deal with her anymore...

Liu Rumeng's mind went blank; thinking of Li Beijue's resolute attitude just now, she did not know what to do.

Just at this moment—

Her phone suddenly rang.

Liu Rumeng snapped to her senses, thinking it was another harassing call, and immediately wanted to hang up without a second thought.

But after just one glance, she hurriedly wiped away her tears and answered the call.

"President Sun..."

Liu Rumeng managed to maintain a normal tone and greeted him.

Immediately after, she heard the person on the other end of the line say sternly: "Liu Rumeng, your actions over the past two days have caused a very negative impact. The Piano Association has decided after deliberation to expel you. You will no longer hold any performances in the future, and all honors previously obtained are now void and will not be recognized by the Association. You had better fend for yourself."

Liu Rumeng's eyes widened instantly: "What? President Sun, I..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the other party had already hung up the phone.

Liu Rumeng felt icy all over and immediately dialed the number back.

But it only rang once before being hung up by someone, and when she called again, it was already powered off.

She stared at the phone in her hand in disbelief, then suddenly thought of something and hurriedly opened her social media app.

And before she could even search, she saw her own name on the homepage!

It was a disciplinary notice issued against her by the Piano Association, with the words President Sun had just said to her written in black and white.

The comment section was also full of cheers, with everyone highly approving of the Association's actions.

Liu Rumeng stood where she was, her expression dazed, with only two words left in her mind.

Finished.

She was completely finished.

Whether it was love, or her reputation and status, everything was ruined!

"Jiang Baobao!!!"

Liu Rumeng suddenly went mad and smashed her phone fiercely onto the ground!

With a "crack"!

The phone shattered upon impact, instantly drawing the gazes of many people nearby.

Yet Liu Rumeng just stood there with wide eyes, gasping for air.

No... how could things have turned out like this?

She only wanted that slut Jiang Baobao to get out of the Li Family!

Now instead... instead...

Liu Rumeng clenched her fists tightly, and countless hatred surged in the depths of her eyes.

It was all her...

It was her a few years ago, and it was her now!

Why must she stick to Beijue like a dog-skin plaster and refuse to let go!

Her own downfall today was also all caused by her!

She would make that slut pay the price!

Since she had nothing left anyway, then no one should think about having a good time!

On the other side—

Liu Xin'ai was sitting in the living room of the Li Mansion.

She seemed not to have slept well all night, and her complexion looked somewhat pale.

Jiang Baobao sat beside her, still as intimate as usual.

"Xinaijie, Father Liu has already personally gone to see Li Laoyezi, why did you still make a special trip to come and apologize to me again?"

Jiang Baobao asked with some helplessness.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xin'ai shook her head gently and sighed: "Regarding this matter, I have always felt bad about it in my heart. It is because we did not raise Rumeng well, letting her commit such a wrong..."

"There is no helping it, she is not a child anymore, she should always be responsible for the things she has done..."

Jiang Baobao patted the back of Liu Xin'ai's hand and whispered to persuade her: "The Liu Family should strictly supervise her from now on, she shouldn't do such things again. Compared to this, I am more worried that this matter will affect the relationship between you and me. I was even afraid before that you would draw a line with me because of this..."

"How is that possible?"

Liu Xin'ai held Jiang Baobao's hand back: "I haven't even had time to say sorry to you, even if I really did draw a line, it would be because I was too embarrassed to face you, not because I resented you..."

"Then I am relieved. Since everything is fine now, let this matter pass."

Jiang Baobao smiled, feeling warm in her heart, yet she could not help but feel a bit emotional.

That Liu Rumeng... if only she had half of Xinaijie's character and values...

Jiang Baobao did not want to talk about these unhappy things anymore and hurriedly changed the subject: "By the way, I remember your wedding date is already very close, right?"

"Yes, in half a month."

Liu Xin'ai nodded, but she could not show any happiness on her face. Fearing that Jiang Baobao would overthink it, she hurriedly asked back: "How is your wedding preparation going?"

"I still have some time..."

When Jiang Baobao spoke of this, she felt inexplicably shy and could not help but smile bashfully, yet she could not hide the sweetness on her face.

Liu Xin'ai saw it in her eyes and also felt a sense of tenderness in her heart.

To be able to marry the person one likes... how wonderful.

The two of them chatted for a while longer, then Liu Xin'ai's phone suddenly rang.

She quickly picked it up to take a look, hung up the call directly, and rose from the sofa.

"Baobao, Qin Yiyan is waiting for me outside, so I'll head back first today."

Jiang Baobao was just about to ask her to stay for a meal, but upon hearing this, she felt a bit regretful: "Alright then, after all, you are getting married soon, and you two must have a lot of things to be busy with..."

As she spoke, she suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but tease with a smile: "It seems your relationship is developing quite well? He even made a special trip here to pick you up..."

"It's alright, I suppose."

Liu Xin'ai forced a smile, suppressed the bitterness in her heart, gave a casual reply, and then turned to walk toward the door.

Jiang Baobao saw her out and, sure enough, saw that Qin Yiyan was already waiting by the car.

"Mr. Qin."

Jiang Baobao greeted him with a smile.

Qin Yiyan nodded with a smile, looking as genial as ever, and very gentlemanly opened the passenger door for Liu Xin'ai.

"Baobao, then I'll be heading back now."

Before getting into the car, Liu Xin'ai looked at Jiang Baobao again, looking as if she had something to say but hesitated.

Jiang Baobao knew what she wanted to say and hurriedly urged: "Xinaijie, there is no need to say anything more; right now, the most important thing is your wedding, and everything else is already in the past."

"Alright... let's meet up again when there's a chance."

Liu Xin'ai didn't say anything more and turned to get into the car.

Qin Yiyan nodded at Jiang Baobao and also got into the car.

Only then did Jiang Baobao turn and go back into the villa.

Inside the car...

Qin Yiyan did not rush to start the car, but instead teased with a half-smile: "It's a good thing the person who was to marry over was you; that younger sister of yours is truly too much of a worry..."

Liu Xin'ai, however, could not smile; upon hearing this, she immediately replied coldly: "My family's affairs do not require your commentary."

The expression on Qin Yiyan's face stiffened slightly, but in the end, he didn't say anything more and stepped on the accelerator.

By the villa window—

Jiang Baobao watched the two of them drive away, but her expression was somewhat puzzled.

Qin Yiyan's car window was not closed, and his expression just now had been seen clearly by Jiang Baobao, making her feel a bit worried.

The two of them... did they have an argument?
