Chapter 551: Hard to Swallow, Won't Take It Soft

Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong at Me, Jiang Muye

Boss Cutie

"My mom… she went too far!"

Leng Ruoli was choking back sobs.

Over the phone, Jiang Muye could tell that Leng Ruoli was truly heartbroken.

Normally, Leng Ruoli was a very strong person, and she wasn't the type to cry easily.

The fact that she was crying proved that Xiang Shan really had done something awful.

Jiang Muye comforted Leng Ruoli, "Don't cry. I'm coming to find you."

After hanging up, he immediately purchased a Position Locking Device from the System's shop.

This skill would let Jiang Muye easily pinpoint Leng Ruoli's location.

Jiang Muye turned on his mic and said to Old He, "My girlfriend's in trouble, I'm heading out first. You guys keep playing!"

Old He was dumbstruck. "We're at the most critical moment and you want to leave? Hey, that's irresponsible! Choosing a girl over your brothers!"

"Right now's your chance to show off your skills. I don't have the slightest interest in gaming anymore!" Jiang Muye's words were full of anxiety.

Just thinking about Leng Ruoli crying made him feel frantic.

After confirming that Jiang Muye was genuinely worried and that Leng Ruoli really was in trouble, Old He stopped joking around. He asked with concern, "Really? Want us to come with you?"

Old He was still afraid Jiang Muye couldn't handle it on his own.

"It's fine, I should be able to deal with it. If there's a problem, I'll let you know," Jiang Muye told Old He.

Old He breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright, go AFK. Anyone who flames you, I'll flame them back. Don't worry, you've got brothers in the Rift. We'll carry you to victory."

"Thanks."

Jiang Muye smirked.

After logging off, he grabbed his phone and went to find Leng Ruoli.

Following the Position Locking Device, Jiang Muye quickly determined Leng Ruoli's exact location.

Jiang Muye ran to the large fountain at a certain center, and immediately spotted a delicate figure curled up into a ball.

【Congratulations, Host. Check-in location successful. Obtained 300 Grit Points.】

After closing the panel, Jiang Muye anxiously ran up to Leng Ruoli.

"Are you okay?" Jiang Muye asked, his eyes full of worry.

When Leng Ruoli heard the commotion, she, who had originally been emotionally overwhelmed, now seemed to have found someone to lean on. Her eyes were red-rimmed, and the tip of her nose was flushed.

It didn't take long before she threw herself into Jiang Muye's arms, gripping him tightly and crying, "Wuuu, you finally came!"

Hearing her aggrieved voice, Jiang Muye's own heart ached along with hers.

He reached out and gently stroked Leng Ruoli's hair, then kissed her forehead. "There there, crying will make your eyes swell up. Now that I'm here, tell me what happened."

"Your husband will stand up for you, you know?"

Faced with Jiang Muye's tender words, Leng Ruoli felt a good deal warmer inside.

"Husband…"

"Hm?"

"My mom bullied me. She even arranged for several gigolos." Leng Ruoli choked out.

"What!" Jiang Muye's fury instantly erupted.

Finding gigolos for his girlfriend? What a joke!

Could such a beautiful girlfriend of his be casually touched by those men?

Xiang Shan had really gone too far this time.

"Wuuu, they didn't touch me, but I feel disgusted inside." Leng Ruoli's thick eyelashes fluttered. "I thought my mom was just taking me out to sing. She was in a bad mood, so I went along with her. But I never imagined she'd do this to me."

"It wasn't easy for me to like someone. Why does she still have to oppose it?"

"I'm her daughter. She's clearly the one being unreasonable, so why does she think we're the ones at fault?"

"I… I'm really so tired!"

Seeing Leng Ruoli's tear-streaked face, Jiang Muye reached out and wiped away the tears on her cheeks.

When she cried, his heart ached along with hers.

"She really did go too far. We'll ignore her. I'll help you get revenge. She won't bully you anymore."

Leng Ruoli scrunched up her nose and let out a whimper, rubbing her little face back and forth against Jiang Muye's chest.

Jiang Muye gently ruffled her hair and kissed her full forehead. "It's cold here. You'll catch a cold soon. Let's go home, okay?"

"Okay." Hearing the word "home," Leng Ruoli felt a good deal warmer inside.

The villa was her home, and also her warm harbor.

Jiang Muye looked at Leng Ruoli's thin frame, genuinely afraid she'd catch a chill. Without thinking, he took off the jacket on his shoulders and draped it over her.

Leng Ruoli immediately felt warm, and her originally downcast mood was comforted.

Jiang Muye rubbed her shoulders and shielded her as he walked her back to the car.

Leng Ruoli, exhausted from crying, was too tired to feel anything.

Jiang Muye picked up her thermos and handed it to her. "You cried for so long. Here, replenish your fluids. Your throat must be dry."

"You're so thoughtful." Leng Ruoli said between sobs.

"Little dummy, it's only right to dote on your darling." Jiang Muye smiled affectionately.

He personally fed Leng Ruoli water, and once she drank, she clearly felt satisfied.

"There there, sleep for a bit and rest. My driving's very steady. We'll be there soon." Jiang Muye soothed Leng Ruoli's emotions.

Leng Ruoli naturally felt a sense of security, feeling that she'd found a place to shelter from the wind and rain, no longer needing to drift about aimlessly as before.

She also felt extremely comfortable, and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Jiang Muye even specially adjusted the angle of the car seat for her, afraid she wouldn't sleep comfortably.

Looking at Leng Ruoli's tired, sleeping face, Jiang Muye's eyes were full of love, and of course, heartache as well.

After learning of Xiang Shan's outrageous actions, a trace of coldness surfaced in his dark eyes.

After driving back to the villa, Jiang Muye placed Leng Ruoli on the bed in her room, and after personally tucking her in,

Jiang Muye went out to the balcony. Facing the pitch-black world outside, his expression was ice-cold.

He held his phone and made a call. "Block and monopolize all of Ruyu Studio's business."

He didn't care whether she was his Mother-in-Law or not. As long as someone bullied his woman, he wouldn't let it go easily.

The next day, Jiang Muye urgently convened a meeting.

A total of sixty executives were all ears.

And the theme of this meeting was very clear and simple.

"We're going to leave Ruyu Studio with no way out, until finally they can only be acquired by our Chen Group." Jiang Muye rested his hand on his chin.

"Finish within a month, and everyone gets double pay."

"Finish within half a month, and everyone gets five times the pay plus premium benefits."

"Of course, if you can finish within a week, each person gets ten million, plus double pay and the highest benefits."

Jiang Muye's resolute words instantly filled the executives with delight.

This was practically a windfall from the heavens!

Ruyu Studio was a hundred-person enterprise newly founded by Xiang Shan after she returned to the country, and also a major Project A she was testing the waters with after coming back.

It was completely incapable of comparing with a listed multinational giant like Chen Group.

In the end, Ruyu Studio would definitely go down in flames. After all, it was like an egg smashing against a rock.

Some people were also gloating. Whoever Ruyu Studio's founder had offended, she just had to offend the CEO of Chen Group of all people.

Now she was bringing about her own destruction.
