Shi Yuran watched from upstairs, but didn’t know what they were talking about. She only hoped that those men wouldn’t betray her. If Leng Xiaoyao learned that it was her idea, she would be in trouble.
Seeing Leng Xiaoyao walk away, Shi Yuran called Xiong at once and asked him about the situation.
Given her relationship with Xiong, she believed that he wouldn’t blame her even though they failed. After all, she paid them.
“Xiong, are you alright?” Shi Yuran asked with concern.
“We’re fine.” Xiong answered.
“D-Does she know that I paid you to do it?” asked Shi Yuran. She didn’t dare to ask Xiong whether they had betrayed her.
“She doesn’t know,” Xiong said.
Shi Yuran believed him and felt relieved.
“Xiong, don’t worry, even though you failed, I’ll still pay you for it,” said Shi Yuran. Although she was reluctant to do that, she was afraid of Xiong. After all, he was a gangster.
In addition, she still needed him in the future, so she didn’t want to argue with him.
“Great, see you in the park at the front later,” Xiong said. He needed to take action in a place without surveillance cameras to avoid trouble.
“No problem.” Shi Yuran didn’t doubt Xiong’s words at all and agreed at once.
About ten minutes later, Shi Yuran arrived at the appointed place. She took out the thirty thousand yuan in cash that she just withdrew. It was the final payment. She had paid a deposit of twenty thousand yuan beforehand.
However, right after Shi Yuran gave Xiong the money, two men next to him attacked Shi Yuran. They covered her mouth first in case she alerted other people.
Shi Yuran rounded her eyes in fear. To her astonishment, Xiong and his brothers attacked her.
She kept on struggling. Unfortunately, she was an ordinary and weak girl, so she couldn’t get rid of them.
“Shi Yuran, don’t blame me for doing this. You should blame yourself for messing with someone you shouldn’t offend. Do you know Leng Xiaoyao’s background? She’s our head’s friend. One of our members offended Leng Xiaoyao last week. Do you know his outcome? He paid a compensation of several hundred thousand yuan and was seriously beaten by our head. If we don’t pay you back, we’ll be punished. After all, you caused everything to happen, so we can only attack you,” Xiong said maliciously. He didn’t feel guilty at all. After all, this was caused by Shi Yuran and they were dragged into trouble by her.
Afterwards, he threatened. “Don’t think you can get revenge on us by calling the police. We have something on you. If you dare to call the police, you will be put in jail instead of us.”
Shi Yuran abruptly shook her head. She didn’t want to be put in jail nor did she want to bear the consequences on her own. She didn’t want it!
XIong didn’t care about her feelings and ordered his people to take action.
Shi Yuran asked them to disfigure Leng Xiaoyao’s face, so they would do the same thing to her and beat her afterwards.
Shi Yuran had paid them to deal with women many times, and they never hesitated to injure them. As a result, they did the same thing to Shi Yuran today.
After that, they dumped her on the ground and left.
They didn’t know whether the Shi family would punish them for it, but it was better than being punished by Leng Xiaoyao and Ji Yanxi.
At least, they had something on Shi Yuran. If the Shi family wanted to punish them, Shi Yuran would be affected too. However, if Leng Xiaoyao and Ji Yanxi punished them, they would have to bear everything.
“It seems that we have to behave ourselves in the future,” Xiong said, thinking of something. They took this task because they thought that they could get away with it. Unexpectedly, it went wrong.
Although they were beaten by Leng Xiaoyao, they didn’t hate her. After all, they went to cause her trouble first.
If Leng Xiaoyao didn’t let them go, they would have been seriously punished.
As for what had happened earlier, Shen Xiyin didn’t ask much. Anyway, she learned that Leng Xiaoyao was skilled and had powerful connections. Because of that, she admired Leng Xiaoyao more than ever.
When they returned to the Leng family’s mansion, only Leng Changyuan and Leng Yecheng were present. They were chatting in the living room.
Seeing Leng Xiaoyao come home, they were a little surprised but didn’t think it was a big deal. After all, Leng Xiaoyao was different from other students. She didn’t need to go to school regularly.
“Grandpa, uncle, let me introduce you, this is my friend, Shen Xiyin. She’s An Chenjun’s girlfriend as well,” Leng Xiaoyao said.
“Nice to meet you, Grandpa Leng, Mr. Leng.” Shen Xiyin politely greeted them.
“Nice to meet you too, Miss Shen. Please have a seat,” said Leng Changyuan.
“No need, we’re going to cut the raw jade materials in the underground room now,” Leng Xiaoyao said. It would take a long time to cut those raw jade materials, so they had to hurry up so that Shen Xiyin could go home early.
She would be worried about Shen Xiyin’s safety if Shen Xiyin went home with the jade late at night, so she would send Shen Xiyin home later.
“What? I want to see it.”
Upon hearing what they would be doing, Leng Changyuan and Leng Yecheng were excited and stood up.
“Sure!” Leng Xiaoyao smiled and said, “But I need to get the key from my room first.”
Leng Xiaoyao asked Shen Xiyin to wait in the living room, then she rushed to her room for the key.
Outside her room, she saw Song Meiyu talking to Leng Yuqi in Leng Yuqi’s room. Leng Xiaoyao sneered and paid no more attention to them.
When Leng Xiaoyao opened the door of her room, Song Meiyu heard and immediately closed her mouth. She didn’t want Leng Xiaoyao to hear their conversation.
She knew that Leng Xiaoyao must be gloating over their misfortune and was very unhappy about it.
Leng Xiaoyao didn’t stay in the room. She quickly fetched the key, then went downstairs.
“Why do you want to cut those raw jade materials now? You’ve placed them there for so long and never gave them a look. I thought that you forgot about them.” Leng Yecheng joked.
“I almost forgot them, but I need them now,” said Leng Xiaoyao.
“Why do you need them? Do you need money? If you need, grandpa or your uncle can give it to you,” Leng Changyuan said. He thought that Leng Xiaoyao might need money, so she wanted to cut out jade to sell it.
Leng Yecheng rolled his eyes resignedly. It was impossible for Leng Xiaoyao to lack money.
He might lack money, but it was impossible for Leng Xiaoyao to lack money.
However, he wouldn’t say that aloud.
“No, actually I bought so many raw jade materials to do business. I want to establish a jewelry brand on my own. Xiyin is my partner. She’s also a jewelry designer and engraver. She needs the jade now,” Leng Xiaoyao admitted.
Leng Yecheng knew it early on, so he wasn’t surprised, but Leng Changyuan was astonished.
