Chapter 289: Chapter 289: Replay of the Past 4

Yan Hui said with a smile, "If you like this bar, I can transfer my shares to you."

Chuchu curled her lips, "No thanks, I can’t afford that kind of trouble. You might as well tell me if there are surveillance cameras installed in that private room over there. How else would you know everything that’s going on?"

Yan Hui nodded without any hesitation, "For safety reasons, we do have surveillance cameras installed. However, we generally do not invade our customers’ privacy."

Generally, huh. Whether it’s ’generally’ or ’specifically’ is entirely up to you to decide, thought Chuchu as she scoffed with a chuckle.

She wondered if her embarrassing moments from the past had also been watched by Yan Hui. With that thought, Chuchu stood up and said:

"Mr. Yan, it’s getting late. My grandfather asked me to come home early, so I’m going to leave now."

Yan Hui shook his head with a smile, glanced at his wristwatch and said, "In one more minute, the police will be here. Don’t you want to watch the show?"

Chuchu: "... You called the police?" How could she not have thought of that? It would be quite a scene if the police got involved.

She didn’t know whether Jiang Lirong had managed to take Lin Jiayi away outside. It wouldn’t be as fun if they had left. Why haven’t the police arrived yet?

Chuchu was getting anxious.

In the next second, shouts rang through the corridor, "Police! Don’t move!"

Chuchu glanced at the composed Yan Hui, then quickly leaned back against the door, peeking through the crack.

A group of fully armed police officers, guns drawn, stood at the entrance to the private room, pointing their guns at the people inside. In the next second, Jiang Lirong, supporting the disheveled Lin Jiayi, walked out but was blocked and pushed back by the police.

"Don’t touch me! I want to take my daughter and leave. My daughter has nothing to do with these people," Jiang Lirong yelled at the top of her lungs.

But the police stood firm, unyielding, and declared, "No one is allowed to leave. Take them back to the station!"

Jiang Lirong shrieked, "I want to make a call, I want to speak to your superiors..."

The previous incident was embarrassing enough, and if they went to the police station again, the scandal would likely become unavoidable. What would Jiayi do then?

So there was no way they could go to the police station!

Jiang Lirong tried to push through forcefully a few more times but was instead subdued by the police.

"Are you blind? Do we look like we’re with them? Why are you arresting me? The police think they’re so great, huh? My elder brother is a leader, you better let go of me and my daughter right now, or you’ll regret it!"

"Take your filthy hands off me!"

"Bastard, the police are hitting people, the police are arresting people indiscriminately, the police are molesting!"

...

Jiang Lirong displayed the image of a shrew, hurling various insults and threats, which caused even more of the private rooms on that floor to open as more people came out to watch the commotion.

The faces of the police grew darker than before, and their grasp tightened on all the individuals.

"Police investigation underway, no unauthorized persons allowed near!"

Some spectators began to disperse, whispering among themselves.

After all, with many people talking, it didn’t take long for someone to recognize a few of the individuals present.

"My god, isn’t that the second son of Tianmei Electric? How come he’s only left in his underwear?"

"Wow, and so many women, tsk tsk tsk, look at their clothes, their expression, they must be on drugs."

"Such a juicy scandal."

...

Jiang Lirong finally realized that no matter how much she made a scene, it was of no avail. It only drew more onlookers. Glancing at her daughter, whose expression was a blur, she finally shut her mouth.

Soon, more police arrived and took all the men and women from the private room, including Second Aunt Jiang and others whom Jiang Lirong had called to enjoy the spectacle.

Haha, Wan Chu’er silently laughed.

This time, people like Second Aunt Jiang and Third Aunt Jiang must have hated Jiang Lirong to death, coming to enjoy the show but ending up in the police station.

After it finally quieted down next door, Wan Chu’er closed the door and turned back into focus. She gave Yan Hui a thumbs-up, "Mr. Yan, thank you."

Yan Hui was leisurely sitting on the couch, sipping his drink. He smiled, "As long as you don’t think I’m meddling too much, and it’s okay that I didn’t inform you beforehand."

Wan Chu’er hesitated for a moment, reminding her that he still held a grudge about the villa incident. She couldn’t help but snort and then said with righteous indignation, "One thing has nothing to do with the other."

The lighting in this private room was truly dim, and being with a man alone in here made Wan Chu’er feel extremely inappropriate. She thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Yan, I’ll be taking my leave first."

Yan Hui stood up and made a gentlemanly inviting gesture, "Let me walk you back. It’s about time I headed back as well."

Uh...

Wan Chu’er found it hard to refuse. They left through the back door, and without exchanging a word, returned to the villa district.

An hour after returning home and reading, Xiao Bai came back.

Xiao Bai said with a mischievous smile, "Oh, it’s a pity you didn’t see the show that followed in person."

Wan Chu’er: "Let’s hear it."

Xiao Bai waved his hand, "No, no, I shouldn’t say. It’s not for kids."

A pillow was thrown at him, which Xiao Bai deflected with his hand, laughed with a "heh heh," and left her room.

Wan Chu’er humphed and didn’t chase after him. What Xiao Bai probably was referring to was what Jiang Lirong and the others saw when they opened the private room.

The room must have been a mess, but given the short time frame, it’s likely that Lin Jiayi and Zhu Er didn’t actually do much—perhaps just a tussle, a kiss, a caress.

The key point was that such a scene was witnessed by a crowd, including Second Aunt Jiang and Third Aunt Jiang. Probably by tomorrow, everyone who should know would know.

Furthermore, the MMS she sent from Lin Jiayi’s phone would mar his reputation for life.

What she went through in her past life, she has now returned it all to Lin Jiayi.

So now, they were even. She won’t waste any more time or energy on Lin Jiayi, unless he insists on brazenly asking for more trouble.

Sure enough, the next morning, Jiang Xiaoxiao made a phone call.

"Chuchu, something went wrong last night. Try to avoid them for a while, will you? My mom is worried that my Aunt and cousin will trouble you, and my brother is not around..." There was concern in Jiang Xiaoxiao’s voice, and a hint of embarrassment.

Their family was in chaos, with Aunt Jiang making Grandpa and Grandma turn up at dawn, blocking her parents’ entrance demanding an explanation.

Complaining that Wan Chu’er had a malicious mind and harmed her family’s Lin Jiayi, if anything happened to Jiayi, Wan Chu’er would have to pay with her life. Grandpa always favored Aunt Jiang, thumping his cane on the ground so loudly it thundered, adamantly stating that Wan Chu’er must never step foot in the Jiang Family home again. However, he soon commanded Mrs. Jiang to summon Wan Chu’er for a scolding.

Then Second Uncle Jiang and Third Aunt Jiang, along with their families, arrived, pointing fingers at each other until the roof nearly caved in from their shouting.

Eventually, they all collectively pointed their fingers at Wan Chu’er, desperate to find a scapegoat to vent their anger.

Father Jiang and Mrs. Jiang instinctively didn’t believe Wan Chu’er instigated this mess. Father Jiang sternly scolded his two brothers, while Mrs. Jiang helplessly consoled her two sisters-in-law and stirrer Aunt Jiang. She even found a chance to let Jiang Xiaoxiao call Wan Chu’er to give her a heads-up.

After asking Jiang Xiaoxiao a few questions, Wan Chu’er had a rough idea of the situation.

Although she didn’t witness it with her own eyes, she could imagine the mayhem based on her understanding of the Jiang Family members. She snorted and said to Jiang Xiaoxiao:

"Don’t worry. I will come to your place later to clear up last night’s incident."

Since they wanted drama, she’d let them see everything clearly.
