Chapter 227: I'll Send You Abroad
**Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong**
**Boss Cutie**
"I… can you two really eat all that? Do you want to cut some of it?" Xia Xiran was completely flustered.
She had wanted to treat Jiang Muye to a meal, but she never intended to spend this much money.
Just the dishes Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli had ordered were already putting a huge amount of pressure on Xia Xiran.
This restaurant wasn't cheap by any means, and on top of that, all the dishes they had picked were on the pricey side.
"We can get it boxed up. It doesn't matter."
Jiang Muye simply wanted to teach Xia Xiran a lesson.
If she wanted to threaten him, then she had better be mentally prepared to accept the consequences.
Someone else was paying, and he could bring his girlfriend along to enjoy a free meal. Why wouldn't he?
Besides, he had another goal in mind.
The dishes arrived one after another, and Xia Xiran's expression turned uglier and uglier.
She cared a lot about her reputation. Now that Jiang Muye had said all that, she would have to pay for this meal herself no matter what.
Her family's circumstances weren't bad, but to keep her from developing wasteful habits, her parents gave her a fixed allowance every week. As a result, she had entered quite a few competitions to save up prize money. But earlier, in order to win Jiang Muye's favor, she had donated the vast majority of that money.
What was left was barely enough to live on. Who would have thought something like this would happen today? It looked like her days ahead would be rather tight.
While Xia Xiran was feeling uneasy, she noticed that Leng Ruoli had already drunk the glass of Champagne in front of her.
Xia Xiran's breath caught.
She had poured that Champagne in advance and handed it to Jiang Muye. It had medicinal powder mixed into it, something that could greatly increase a person's lust.
However, Jiang Muye hadn't drunk it. It had actually been drunk by Leng Ruoli.
She had heard that even a single drop could make a man like a wolf or a tiger. If a woman drank it, then…
Xia Xiran's eyes were full of resentment. Wasn't this just picking up a rock and smashing her own foot? She had ended up making a wedding dress for someone else.
Of course, Leng Ruoli only managed a few sips before Jiang Muye stopped her, "Why are you drinking behind my back!"
Jiang Muye was still very worried about Leng Ruoli drinking. After all, the last time Leng Ruoli drank, her personality had changed drastically. The image of Leng Ruoli's fiery passion last time had left a deep impression on Jiang Muye.
Leng Ruoli's cheeks had already turned slightly red. She giggled at Jiang Muye, "It's fine, it's just Champagne."
Seeing the electricity in both Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli's eyes, Xia Xiran's heart felt horribly stifled.
But thankfully, she noticed that Leng Ruoli wasn't showing any abnormal signs.
Maybe she had drunk too little, so it hadn't taken effect?
This made Xia Xiran breathe a sigh of relief.
After Jiang Muye's steak was served, he unhurriedly cut into it.
He used a great deal of force with his knife and fork. The sharp sound of the knife and fork scraping against the plate made Xia Xiran's nerves start to fray.
She suddenly felt that the Jiang Muye in front of her was arrogant and dangerous. Especially the way he looked while eating his beef, cool and cocky, made her not dare to even breathe too loudly.
"There's a multiple-choice question. Out of humanitarianism, I think it's better if you choose for yourself," Jiang Muye said, squinting at Xia Xiran.
"Wh… what?" Xia Xiran grew uneasy.
"1. Keep pestering me, and I'll call the police and report you for theft." Jiang Muye paused. "2. Stay away from me, return the DR Ring, and I'll let bygones be bygones regarding the theft."
"I didn't steal anything!" Xia Xiran's emotions immediately flared up.
And Leng Ruoli looked at Xia Xiran calmly, "Wasn't the DR Ring stolen by you?"
Xia Xiran's little face went deathly pale.
Jiang Muye added, "The DR Ring is worth over eight thousand yuan. According to Article 264 of the Criminal Law, it's punishable by up to three years of fixed-term imprisonment, criminal detention, or surveillance, and may also be accompanied by or limited to a fine. With my current connections, the police will definitely take the case. When that happens, it will definitely be reported far and wide, your reputation will be ruined, and your future will be destroyed."
His cool voice was like a sword stabbing viciously into Xia Xiran's body.
Xia Xiran had already pictured that cruel scene. If she were arrested, her whole life would be ruined.
With a criminal record, what brilliant future could she still have? For the rest of her life she would be nailed to the pillar of shame, whipped over and over again.
The most important thing was that her parents would be bitterly disappointed in her, and there would be no way for her to find a foothold in this world.
Xia Xiran immediately retorted, her emotions running high, "No, I didn't steal! Someone gave me this DR Ring!"
"Who." Jiang Muye asked in a low voice.
"It was Yu Xi."
Jiang Muye now had a good idea. So it really was Yu Xi who had teamed up with Xia Xiran.
Otherwise, with Xia Xiran's personality, she wouldn't have pulled such a stunt. Someone had to be egging her on from behind the scenes.
"Even so, you can't clear yourself of involvement. Taking this DR Ring to use as a threat, aren't you an accomplice too?" Leng Ruoli's face was cold as ice. "You bear criminal responsibility as well."
After hearing Leng Ruoli's words, Xia Xiran's expression turned especially ugly.
Her shoulders were trembling, and her hands nervously clutched at the hem of her clothes.
Jiang Muye lowered his eyelids without any change in expression and looked at Xia Xiran, "As long as you write a guarantee letter and stop interfering in my and Ruoli's relationship, I won't leak a single word about your theft."
Tears were already welling up in Xia Xiran's eyes. She choked out, "But I like you, Jiang Muye, I don't want to give up on you!"
She reached out to grab Jiang Muye's hands.
Feeling the coldness of Xia Xiran's palms, Jiang Muye reflexively shook her hands off.
His long, thick eyelashes cast a layer of grayish-blue over his eyelids, and he said to Xia Xiran with absolute finality, "I have a girlfriend. It's not because you like me that I have to like you back. Xia Xiran, we're a thing of the past. Even if you don't give up, I won't turn back for you."
Jiang Muye didn't understand why she kept stubbornly pestering him even after he had rejected her so many times.
Back then, she had been the one who neither accepted nor rejected him. So why should she demand that he wait for her in place?
Jiang Muye's voice was slightly cold, and Xia Xiran's eyes turned red as she listened. She couldn't see the slightest softness in his eyes, only an arrogant, overbearing look.
That was absolutely not the tender, water-like appearance she remembered.
Xia Xiran's tears pattered down her face. Her heart ached terribly. Jiang Muye drew a sharp breath. He had no way of knowing why Xia Xiran had turned into what she was now, but he hoped she could start a new life and stop muddling along.
"Sign this guarantee letter. As long as you exit my life, we don't disturb each other, and you help me testify that Yu Xi stole something, I can send you abroad to study." Jiang Muye stared at Xia Xiran and took out the guarantee letter.
Xia Xiran was stunned, then her eyes filled with reluctance. She shook her head, crying even more sorrowfully, "I don't want to leave, woo woo woo, please don't chase me away…"
However, Jiang Muye wasn't soft-hearted in the slightest.
He ignored Xia Xiran's crying and said decisively, "I'm not chasing you away, you're making the choice yourself. If you don't go abroad, then I can choose to call the police, and that will leave a stain on your life."
