Chapter 80: This man is ruthless!
80. Chapter 80: This man is ruthless!
Luo Xixi was stunned. Everything was fine, so why had Suna's death ending been brought forward?
She wasn't targeting the female lead, Luo Shiqing, anymore, so how could the second male lead still be trying to ruin her reputation like this?
Could it be that because of the current plot development, the male lead had made a move this time?
"Sister Suna, stop arguing with that person."
Luo Xixi pulled Suna back, then looked at Sheng Tinglan and said, "Mr. Sheng, if today's disturbance has caused you any losses, we can compensate you."
"Xixi! What are you saying!"
Suna didn't feel she had done anything wrong. It was clearly the club's lack of strict screening that had caused them trouble! They were the victims, so why should they apologize?
Luo Xixi felt a massive headache coming on.
【Great beauty, you'd better say less! Your death ending has already been brought forward; if you keep talking, do you still want to live?!】
!!!
Suna was shocked when she heard this.
Her death ending had been brought forward?
How could this be?
After Sheng Tinglan confirmed that Luo Xixi was not the Xixi he wanted to resurrect, he had no mercy left for her. This woman was Luo Shiqing's mortal enemy, and her existence would hinder Luo Shiqing from completing her missions. Since she had now delivered herself into his hands, how could he possibly let her go?
Sheng Tinglan was always ruthless and merciless toward people he didn't care about.
Since Luo Xixi would indirectly hinder his mission, he had to completely eradicate this woman before she could grow.
His gaze swept toward the middle-aged man again, and pointing at him, he said, "You don't need to compensate me for anything, but you have annoyed my guest and even threw him into the pool. If you apologize to him and ask for his forgiveness, I will let today's matter slide."
"What did you say?"
Luo Xixi frowned, wondering if the male lead had some kind of serious illness.
That man had been insulting them the whole time, spewing nothing but trash talk. It was easy to imagine that the reason Sister Suna had clashed with him was because he had crossed the line and offended her. Yet, the male lead was asking them to apologize to this man?
Did he have no sense of right and wrong at all?!
Was this person definitely not targeting the two of them?
Sure enough.
Suna had been cautious after hearing Luo Xixi's inner voice and learning that her death had been brought forward, but with Sheng Tinglan fanning the flames, the anger that had just been suppressed was ignited once again.
Her expression changed drastically. Ignoring whether she would die or not, she shouted angrily at Sheng Tinglan, "Are you kidding me? He was the one who offended me first, saying filthy, obscene things! Why should we apologize to him?! Are you crazy?!"
The middle-aged man was clearly the happiest; he hadn't expected Sheng Tinglan to take his side like this. He laughed wildly and said, "Haha, there are still clear-sighted people in this world! You two sluts are naturally cheap and lewd, otherwise why would you come here? Since you're already sluts, why keep up the act? I was just exposing your true nature! But since the boss has spoken, I can give him some face. As long as you kneel and apologize to me, saying 'I'm sorry, I'm a slut,' then I'll let you off the hook."
"What did you say?!"
Hearing this, Suna became even more agitated. She was furious, her eyes turning slightly red, and she said, "What kind of thing do you think you are? You insulted me and still want us to apologize to you? You are simply dreaming! Let me tell you, even if I, Suna, have to retire from the industry and have my reputation ruined, I will absolutely not let a lowlife like you succeed. Go to hell!!!"
"You!!!"
Seeing Suna's overreaction—not only refusing to back down but cursing even more fiercely—the middle-aged man was also furious, his eyes bulging. Gritting his teeth, he said, "You bitch, you're still so arrogant! If I post your true colors on the internet, let's see if you can still be so cocky!"
"Fine! Go ahead and post it! Do you think I'm afraid of you?!" Suna said, her eyes red and reckless.
The man was enraged: "Just you wait, you really think I don't dare?!"
"Post it right now!!!"
"Sister Suna!"
Seeing Suna clash with the man again and the conflict escalate, Luo Xixi felt it was a bad sign. She felt that the situation was spiraling out of control like a wild horse, even worse than before.
Then, the next second.
Sheng Tinglan's voice rang out: "Since the two of you would rather have your reputations ruined than apologize, then I don't need to play the peacemaker anymore. Miss Suna, Miss Luo, I will file a lawsuit regarding what happened in my club today. We shall see each other in court then."
"!!!"
Hearing Sheng Tinglan's words, Luo Xixi felt a shock in her heart. She looked at the man in surprise, and a thought began to swirl in her mind.
Could the male lead be doing this on purpose?
He saw that Sister Suna had a volatile personality and deliberately took sides, asking them to apologize to that man. Of course, Sister Suna wouldn't agree, and this played right into the male lead's hands. He could use this opportunity to make trouble, sue them, and cause their reputations to plummet.
Moreover, this club didn't allow cell phones or cameras. If he provided surveillance footage, it was entirely possible for this person to edit it to only show what was favorable to them before handing it to the court. By then, the plot would be completely steered in a direction unfavorable to them.
Realizing this, Luo Xixi was secretly horrified.
What a vicious man!
He was deliberately trying to push them into an abyss from which there was no return!
Luo Xixi glared at Sheng Tinglan indignantly, but Sheng Tinglan only swept a cold gaze over her, as if he knew she had seen through him. Yet, he didn't care. That ruthlessness and decisiveness were exactly the same as when the "white moonlight" he protected in his previous life looked at her.
In that instant.
Luo Xixi felt a chill run through her entire body. Even though she had transmigrated into a book and arrived in a world completely different from her previous life, Luo Xixi felt as if she had returned to that painful scene.
It was as if she were face-to-face with that filthy thing once again.
This person.
He was indeed exactly like that filthy thing. In order to protect the person he wanted to protect, everyone else in his eyes was just a tool, something not worth mentioning. As long as he could achieve his goal, what did it matter if he hurt others? He didn't care at all.
【Tong'er, what is the changed ending for Suna?】
Luo Xixi asked the Baby System.
The Baby System replied: 【This club incident will become the fuse that completely ruins Suna's reputation. Her family will be furious with her, mocking and ridiculing her. Suna's life will hit rock bottom, and amidst constant denial and abuse, she will have a mental breakdown and commit suicide due to depression.】
【So this incident really did become the fuse.】
Luo Xixi's eyes dimmed, and she asked: 【Then what about me? I don't think the male lead will let me go. Has my death ending also been brought forward?】
【No.】
The Baby System answered.
【What?】
Luo Xixi was stunned, feeling somewhat incredulous, and asked: "How could that be? This time the male lead was clearly targeting Suna and me; it's impossible that he would let me off!"
The Baby System replied: "In the plot, although you were caught in the crossfire, quite unexpectedly, there was very little online abuse directed at you; it seems to have been suppressed. Furthermore, because the Favorability Value of the Luo Family toward you is on the high side, they trust you deeply and have not grown to loathe you because of this. You have been affected very little by this incident."
"..."
After hearing the Baby System's report, Luo Xixi felt baffled once again.
Strange, how could the plot take this turn?
