Chapter 298: 298: Fight with One’s Back to the River_1



“Do me a favor, when I’m gone, make some time to keep Ding Yinuo company, have a chat with him!”

After I replied to the message, I turned off my phone.

The plane began to take off at that moment.

I put on my eye mask and closed my eyes to rejuvenate.

I was thinking I could take a short nap during the over two-hour journey.

But as soon as I dozed off a bit, the low murmuring of two women could be heard from afar.

“Do you think Song Xiaoyun will show up?”

Their specified name woke me up instantly.

I thought it was a hallucination. But when I stealthily looked back, indeed, it was Ye Mengyan sitting with another woman, separated from me by a row.

Ye Mengyan got out on bail before, the case hasn’t been heard yet, and she shouldn’t be allowed to leave A City. Yet here she is, running around freely.

This means that Gu Yuanzhou must have pulled a lot of strings for her.

What merit or ability does this woman have?

Amid my astonishment, the woman continued her arrogant talk.

“Given her competitive nature, she must be coming!”

“Well, I heard that she was in a car accident recently that ruined her face. Does she still have the face to show up?”

“The event organizers have her name on their list, and she is among the invitees. This is a good chance for her to show off, she will surely come. Her face didn’t get ruined, but it seems like she lost some scalp…”

“Tsk, tsk, she’s brave indeed. She barely has half a life left, and yet she dares to stand up against you all?”

“I’m just thinking the car accident was too mild. A woman like her can only settle down once she’s dead!”

“So, what are you going to do? From the list of contestants I’ve seen, she is the only one who can compete with you, the only one who matches your strength. Maybe, she might even walk away with the big prize.”

“Don’t worry, if she dares to come, I’ll ruin her face for good.”

Ye Mengyan is indeed bold; on the plane, in full view of everyone, she spouted these outrageous words.

I faintly curl my lips, pay no mind, and continue.

The plane kept flying and half an hour later, most passengers were in deep sleep.

Ye Mengyan, perhaps too tired, began to doze off as well.

Taking advantage of going to the restroom, I walked towards her, then stealthily took away the dozing man’s phone from the seat behind her, and slipped it inconspicuously into her travel bag.

An hour and a half later.

The plane arrived at the airport.

As the passengers were getting ready to disembark, a man cried out in panic.

“Stewardess, my phone is missing!”

“What’s wrong, sir? Did you forget to bring your phone on board?”

“I brought it, I’m sure I did. I even made a call to my wife on the plane. There’s a thief on the plane. No one is allowed to leave!”

The man’s hubbub irritated Ye Mengyan, and she snapped at him,

“Seriously, what lack of manners. Who doesn’t have a phone these days? Does someone who can afford to fly want your shabby phone?”

Seeing this, I gave the man an idea.

“Sir, if you want to know where your phone is, just make a call and you will know.”

The man came to his senses and immediately borrowed a phone from the stewardess…

Meanwhile, Ye Mengyan noticed me,

“Song Xiaoyun? Hm, your hair, it’s fake, isn’t it?”

She reached out to pull my wig and I stepped back, keeping some distance from her.

As she was about to come towards me again, a phone ring sounded from her bag.

The man grabbed her immediately, yelling at her,

“Thief, thief! So it’s you, thief. Give me back my phone…”

“Are you crazy? Who’s a thief!”

Ye Mengyan tried to break free, but the man had already snatched her travel bag and dumped all the contents in front of everyone.

Among a pile of personal belongings, was that phone…

With the man holding onto Ye Mengyan, she would be hard-pressed to escape for a while.

She brought it upon herself.

Who asked her to be so cocky!

After exiting the airport, I hopped in a cab and headed straight for the hotel.

At the entrance of the hotel, I ran into Gu Yuanzhou.

He was wearing a black high-end suit, standing amidst a group of businessmen, standing out like a crane in a flock of chickens.

Especially his gloomy temperament, making people not dare to approach.

Under the large crystal chandelier, he was holding a tall glass of red wine in hand, deliberating something with several business moguls.

Laughing and joking, toasting and asking questions.

I merely sneaked a glance at him, then turned and walked into the elevator.

This business hotel is the most luxurious hotel in Hong Kong. The hotel room and flight tickets were all booked by Ding Xiao for me.

It would be difficult to book a room again right now if I cancelled and rebooked.

Therefore, I had to take the risk of staying in the same hotel as Gu Yuanzhou.

I’m only staying for one night anyway. After the award ceremony tomorrow, I will take a night flight back to A City.

And it seemed like he didn’t notice me.

To avoid running into Gu Yuanzhou, I even cancelled my decision to go to the buffet restaurant for dinner.

I ordered takeout to my room instead.

After I called Wenya, I sat down, opened the laptop and checked the original draft of the design work, then wrote down some reflections on my design.

These drafts are for the award presentation later…

Just as I finished writing, the doorbell rang. I thought it was the food I ordered.

I quickly got up to open the door.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw the dark figure blocking the entrance, a pair of cold eyes looking at me.

It wasn’t the delivery personnel at all.

It was Gu Yuanzhou.

I reacted immediately and tried to close the door, but he was faster, sliding his leather-shoed foot into the crack in the door.

The door was jammed and couldn’t be closed.

I tried to forcibly close it, but the man pushed hard.

That force knocked me backwards with the door.

Then he barged in, quickly closing the door, and with his big hand, he seized my wrists and pushed me against the wall.

My back pressed against the cold wall, I glared at him in anger.

But I did not give up. My hands wriggled nonstop, trying to break free from his grasp.

At this moment, I detested him to the core.

Ding Yinuo was victimized by him.

We were at odds, incompatible like fire and water.

Now, my eyes could only reveal hatred. I wished I could just jab a knife into his face a thousand times.

He held me tightly, the corner of his mouth revealing a hint of ridicule, seemingly mocking my incapacity.

If my hands were restrained, then I would kick his legs with my feet…

He leaned in even closer, trapping my legs with his, preventing me from attacking.

The two of us didn’t say a word, but were silently confronting each other. I exhausted all my strength, panting heavy, his provocative eyes grew stronger as he held me without any effort.

My hands and feet were now under his control, immovable, so I decided to use my head to strike him.

Just when I was about to do so, my wig slipped off my head and fell to the ground.
