Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 498: Chapter 512: Someone Else

After An Ran left the office, Tang Huacheng dialed his phone.

”An Ran just left my place, I’m not sure where she’s headed. I said, old buddy, this is something you can handle with the flick of a finger, why are you making this girl run around?”

The man on the other end of the line was silent for a moment, seemingly displeased. ”If she doesn’t hit a few walls, she won’t appreciate what her husband is for.”

Tang Huacheng chuckled helplessly, ”That’s just like you. But let me tell you, a woman being too independent isn’t necessarily a good thing, especially since she’s still a student.”

”No worries, she needs to grow as well.” With that, he hung up without waiting for Tang Huacheng to respond.

When An Ran arrived at the Hacker Bar, she went straight to find the boss. Fortunately, the boss was there, and since the bar had not officially opened for business yet, he had time to see her.

However, it was strange. Ever since the Ye Sheng incident, An Ran noticed that the boss had been unusually attentive to her.

After An Ran explained her purpose for coming, the bar owner looked at her in confusion.

”An Ran, if you want to suppress this matter, it’s not difficult. The commotion in the bar at the time was so big, but that person managed to handle it. Why not ask him for help? I’m sure he would be willing to assist you.”

An Ran was stunned by what she heard.

”Boss, weren’t you the one who handled that matter?”

She had always thought that the bar owner was the one who took care of it, given that it happened in the bar.

The bar owner curved a mysterious smile, ”An Ran, I’m just a small player. The bar is a mixed bag of characters, silencing all those mouths isn’t something someone of my status can do.”

”Then who was it?” An Ran asked instinctively.

Mu Xingfeng was the captain of the Guard Team, but the people in the Guard Team shouldn’t have jurisdiction here, right? Besides, Mu Xingfeng was with her the entire time that night—she didn’t see him handle anything.

The bar owner held up his thumb, ”I can’t reveal that person’s name, but I can tell you, he’s like this in Nan’an. Don’t you know the people around you?”

After leaving the bar, An Ran was completely bewildered. She had thought that finding the bar owner would solve the problem, but it turned out someone else had dealt with it back then.

The people around her, influential in Nan’an—she didn’t think she knew anyone like that.

Could it be Lu Yi? She remembered that the Lu Family was quite powerful in Nan’an.

But thinking about Lu Yi’s actions today, she dismissed that idea again.

At school, Sun Beibei and Guo Xinyi were frantically posting on the forum.

”Xinyi, don’t worry, this time An Ran definitely won’t be able to make a comeback. Lu Yi trying to clear her name only ended up forcing her to step down as the new student representative,” Sun Beibei said smugly, replying to messages while continuing to slander An Ran.

Every time Guo Xinyi looked at those photos, jealousy burned inside her. She hadn’t noticed it at the bar, but it was clear that Lu Yi had already been smitten with that woman. Even a fool could see it in his eyes.

”Do you think just stepping down as the new student representative is enough? I want her to be nothing more than an ant in this school. I want everyone to see what kind of person she really is,” Guo Xinyi said viciously.

”Exactly. An Ran may look pure and innocent, but people need to see her groveling for money—that’s when it will be satisfying. Too bad she’s no longer working at the bar,” Sun Beibei said regretfully.

”Too bad? Not necessarily.” There are countless ways to ruin a woman. We’ll take our time.

Guo Xinyi’s eyes gleamed with calculating madness.
