Help! The Seductive Villain Chases Me Everyday to Expose My Other Identities! - Chapter 13
Chapter 13: A Hero Saving A Beauty
Shi Ran: Thanks for the lawyer.
Chu Jinchen’s lips curled up.
He twirled the phone in his hand like he was in no hurry to reply.
After about half an hour later, he then took his time to reply with two words.
[Chu Jinchen]: No need.
One week later.
Shi Ran arrived at Star City Entertainment dressed casually.
That day was the day she was signing with Star City.
“Oh my God! Sister Jia, your dress…”
As soon as she stepped into the front hall, a woman’s compliment exploded in her ears.
She then followed the voice.
There was chaos at the elevator doors.
A woman was standing in the middle, wearing a set of Chanel outfit and a pair of sunglasses.
At that moment, a conspicuous dark brown mark could be seen on the middle of her white skirt.
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” The sweet-looking baby-faced girl apologized while holding a paper cup. There was brown liquid dripping down the white paper cup while she panicked.
“Pa!”
An assistant stepped forward and slapped the girl in the face angrily.
The young girl’s face turned to the side as it quickly turned red.
She bit her lip and could only keep bowing and apologizing.
“Don’t you have eyes? Do you know how much Sister Jia’s clothes cost? Can you afford it?” The assistant became even more mean.
“I’m really sorry. I can wash… I’ll help clean it.” The doll-faced girl was on the verge of tears.
“Sister Jia’s outfit is custom-made from overseas. It’s worth more than 100,000 yuan. How are you going to wash them with your dirty hands?”
The woman in sunglasses frowned while her sharp eyes were still fixated on the baby-faced girl.
Even though she said nothing, her eyes showed that she clearly wanted to kill the baby-faced girl.
“Sister Jia, I’m really sorry! I really didn’t mean it. I can take it to the dry cleaner to wash,” the baby-faced girl said hurriedly.
“Pay up,” the woman in the sunglasses said, her tone as firm as can be.
“I… I don’t have money. I can’t afford…” The baby-faced girl was out of her wits. She looked around at the people around her for help.
However, no one was willing to help. Everyone lowered their heads and pretended to not see her.
“Looks like you won’t know your place until you see the coffin.”
With that, the assistant strode forward and rudely snatched the paper cup from the girl’s hand.
The brown liquid inside sloshed, and some of it spilled out.
The assistant smiled sinisterly and proceeded to pour the remaining liquid on the girl.
“Ah—” The doll-faced girl covered her face in fear.
The next moment she felt a grip on her hand.
As she spun to the side, the brown liquid splashed onto the gray tiles on the floor instead.
The baby-faced girl looked up with lingering fear and met a pair of beautiful dark brown eyes.
“Who are you?!” The assistant looked angrily at Shi Ran, who had suddenly barged in to save the baby-faced girl.
Shi Ran glanced at the marks on the woman’s skirt and said, “You can take it for dry cleaning.”
“Not only did she dirty Sister Jia’s clothes, but she also delayed her trip. Is it something that can be solved by just washing her clothes?”
“If you didn’t pester her here, your trip wouldn’t have been delayed,” Shi Ran said calmly.
“This has nothing to do with you. You better mind your own business,” the woman in the sunglasses said unhappily.
Shi Ran looked down at the girl who was shivering like a little rabbit in her arms.
She had not intended to meddle.
But this girl resembled a friend from her previous life.
She couldn’t simply sit back and do nothing.
Shi Ran sighed silently and looked up at the person opposite her. “How much is it? I’ll pay.”
It just so happened that she had cheated Zhou Yufan of eight million yuan previously.
“You…” The doll-faced girl tried to stop her, but a look from Shi Ran stopped her.
“Two hundred thousand,” said the woman in sunglasses.
Shi Ran narrowed her eyes and scanned the woman in sunglasses like a radar.
“Your Chanel outfit is from five years ago so it should only be worth tens of thousands of yuan now. Judging from the wear and tear of the fabric, you’ve worn it many times, right?”
“I said 200,000. If you can’t afford it, fine. Kneel down and apologize for her!” the woman in sunglasses said arrogantly.
“No!” the doll-faced girl immediately stopped her. “I dirtied this. If anyone should kneel, it should be me!”
The girl bent her knees in humiliation and was about to kneel when she was quickly lifted up.
When Shi Ran met the girl’s puzzled gaze, she rubbed her head comfortingly.
She looked at the woman in the sunglasses and said. “I’ll give you two hundred thousand to buy this outfit.”
“Sure,” the woman in the sunglasses agreed readily.
Shi Ran then transferred the two hundred thousand to the other party’s account.
The woman in the sunglasses smiled in satisfaction and said arrogantly, “I’ll let you go this time. Let’s go.”
With that, she arrogantly prepared to leave.
Just then a fair skinned arm stretched out in front of her.
She looked impatiently at Shi Ran, who had stopped her. “What else do you want?”
Shi Ran said calmly, ‘Take your clothes off.’
“Are you crazy?!”
“This outfit belongs to me now, so take it off!” Shi Ran’s eyes sharpened.
The woman in the sunglasses immediately lost her bravado. “How… how do I take it off now?”
“That is a problem for you to solve.”
“Do you know who our Sister Jia is? How dare you ask her to take off her clothes?!” The assistant immediately stood up and scolded.
Shi Ran sneered. “I don’t care who she is. Just don’t make me do it.”
“You!” The woman in the sunglasses gritted her teeth in anger.
However, seeing Shi Ran’s murderous look, she did not dare to say anything. She could only say angrily, “Just you wait!”
After that, she turned and went into the reception room.
She had changed into a large black coat when she came out. The coat covered her entire body, but she still grabbed the sleeves on both sides uneasily, looking humiliated.
The assistant then threw the outfit that the woman in sunglasses had taken off at Shi Ran’s face.
Shi Ran simply sidestepped and the outfit fell to the ground.
“You’ll see!” said the woman as she left.
She was covering herself with both hands the entire time with her back hunched. Her sneaky look from before was completely gone by then.
The baby-faced girl hurriedly bent down to pick up the clothes on the ground while rubbing her fingers uneasily.
“Um… thank you so much. Can I pay you in installments for the two hundred thousand yuan?”
Shi Ran turned to look at her.
At such a close distance, that innocent face resembled a friend from Shi Ran’s previous life even more.
“It’s fine. I have a lot of money. I’ll deal with the clothes myself.” Shi Ran said while patting the girl’s shoulder.
Just then, the elevator arrived and she entered it.
She glanced at her phone.
Her appointment with Qiu Yaohang was set at ten o’clock but it was already ten-fifteen at that time.
Finally, she had reached Qiu Yaohang’s office.
“You’re quite early.”
As soon as she entered, she heard Qiu Yaohang’s sarcastic tone.
“Sorry, something came up.”
Qiu Yaohang didn’t seem to mind.
The two of them quickly finalized their intention to work together and signed the contract.
After the contract was signed, Qiu Yaohang closed the folder. “Your manager is almost here. You shall meet him first.”
They waited for almost ten minutes before the office door was pushed open.
Shi Ran raised her eyebrows.
The man who entered was in his thirties. His skin was a healthy bronze color. He wore a white tank top with a floral shirt and floral shorts.
After he came in, he walked to the coffee table and poured himself a glass of water. Without saying a word, he raised his head and drank it all.
He acted casually as if he had entered his own office.
“Ji Wenfeng! Can’t you take care of your image?” Qiu Yaohang held his forehead helplessly.
Ji Wenfeng then put down the cup before landing his deep eyes on Shi Ran.
He rubbed the green stubble on his chin and looked around in circles. His eyes seemed to glow green.
“Where did you find such a good seedling? Why would such a good thing happen to me?”
