Chapter 1925: Chu Xiaoran Didn’t Lie
Chu Xiaoran wasn’t lying; she indeed hasn’t drunk to the point of intoxication yet.
Although her mind was clear, her limbs weren’t as agile as before she started drinking.
After finishing in the restroom, Chu Xiaoran habitually touched up her makeup in front of the mirror.
Once she confirmed there were no issues with her look, she turned to head back to the private room to find Xiao Zheng. Unexpectedly, at the restroom door, she bumped heavily into someone.
Both let out a painful cry and then fell heavily to the ground.
Hiss!
Chu Xiaoran gasped with pain; she felt like her bottom was bruised from the fall.
Before she could speak, a familiar cursing voice echoed in her ear, "Walking without eyes, are you? Rushing like a blind person, what’s the hurry? Are you rushing to reincarnate?"
Lin Jiahui!
Chu Xiaoran immediately recognized the owner of the voice and opened her eyes; sure enough, Lin Jiawei was sitting right in front of her. But she was far more disheveled, having fallen to the floor and knocked over a nearby trash can, causing the paper towels inside to scattered all over her.
As for her clothes, they were stained by the puddle on the floor.
"How can you talk like that? Even if I bumped into you, you shouldn’t curse!" Chu Xiaoran, always firm beneath her gentle exterior, unhesitatingly retorted in response to Lin Jiahui’s insult.
In response, Lin Jiahui appeared incredulous, "You actually dare to talk back? I know you! I’ve seen you in the crew! Do you believe that with just a word from me, I can get you fired?"
"Ha, I really don’t believe it, go ahead and try if you have the guts," Chu Xiaoran responded disdainfully.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiahui angrily stood up, only then realizing her custom-made outfit from abroad was stained, and couldn’t help but angrily declare, "You dare to stain my clothes! If you don’t apologize today, I absolutely won’t let you off!"
"If your attitude hadn’t been so terrible just now, I definitely would have apologized to you, after all, I bumped into you." Chu Xiaoran paused, then said with a cold sneer, "But now, sorry, I won’t apologize to a shrew."
"You dare call me a shrew! Do you believe I’ll hit you?" Lin Jiahui was nearly crushed with rage, her high heels clacking noisily on the wooden floor as if they would stomp through it.
Chu Xiaoran was fearless, raising her head, "I really don’t believe it, try me if you dare! I’ve never lost a fight in all my life!"
After saying this, she even rolled up her sleeves.
Lin Jiahui was completely dumbfounded, never having expected that a mere "crew member" dared to defy her so. Now she genuinely wanted to slap Chu Xiaoran hard.
But when her gaze met Chu Xiaoran’s fierce eyes, she inexplicably felt a burst of panic.
To the core, Lin Jiahui feared the strong and bullied the weak.
Finally, she vented furiously, "You little bitch, just wait, I absolutely won’t let you off!"
With a final harsh word, Lin Jiahui rushed away in a hurry.
Chu Xiaoran watched her leave, scoffed with disdain, and then clapped her hands and returned to the private room.
Seeing her return with such indignation, Xiao Zheng curiously asked, "What’s wrong? Why do you seem like you swallowed dynamite after just a trip to the bathroom? Who upset you again?"
"Also, I overheard some arguing outside just now, was it you?"
Chu Xiaoran responded angrily, "Don’t mention it, just thinking about it makes me mad."
"What happened? Tell me in detail." Xiao Zheng asked, increasingly intrigued.
Unable to resist his questioning and feeling stifled herself, Chu Xiaoran recounted the recent event to him. She didn’t exaggerate but did describe Lin Jiahui’s unreasonable and wilful behavior.
Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but shake his head and then asked, "Where is she now? I’ll go vent for you."
After speaking, he really set down his chopsticks, ready to head out.
Seeing this, Chu Xiaoran quickly held him back, saying, "Forget it, it’s just a minor disagreement, no need to make you step in. Besides, I wasn’t at a disadvantage, just drop it."
"If you did step in, things would really escalate."
Understanding Xiao Zheng’s temper well enough, Chu Xiaoran knew if Xiao Zheng actually took action, Lin Jiahui wouldn’t end well. Although it would feel satisfying, it would also bring a lot of trouble.
Opting for less hassle, Chu Xiaoran ultimately convinced him.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng asked, "Are you really planning to just let it go? If you truly think so, then I won’t go."
"It’s really nothing, don’t take it too seriously," Chu Xiaoran said, "I’ve decided not to pursue it anymore. Let’s sit down and eat."
Xiao Zheng showed a trace of helplessness, but ultimately obeyed her words.
Yet, both of them didn’t expect that, although they wanted to keep things low-key, Lin Jiahui wasn’t ready to let it go.
After leaving the restroom, Lin Jiahui furiously returned to her room.
Upon entering, seeing the young man drinking on the chair, she instantly transformed like performing a magic act, complaining tearfully, "Young Master, you must help me get justice!"
"Hm? Jiahui, what’s wrong?" The young man looked at her surprised and asked, "Why did you end up so disheveled after just a bathroom visit?"
"It’s all that damned little bitch’s fault..." Lin Jiahui said with a face full of resentment.
After her recount, the young man couldn’t help but chuckle, "Oh, just such a minor issue? Isn’t she a crew member? Just tell Director Wang to fire her."
"I told her, but she’s not scared and even threatened to hit me!" Lin Jiahui embellished the situation, placing all the blame on Chu Xiaoran. "Young Master, you must avenge me!"
After speaking, she began to shed tears again.
Seeing this scene, the young man couldn’t help but sigh and then stood up, "Lead the way then, I want to see who dares bully my woman."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiahui’s eyes gleamed with pride.
She then linked arms with the young man, followed by four bodyguards, confidently heading toward the private room where Chu Xiaoran and Xiao Zheng were.
