Chapter 44 Counterattack
Since Lin Mubo diagnosed it as just a common cold, Rong Changqing took Lu Qianqian home to recuperate.
When they arrived downstairs together, Lu Qianqian saw Lin Mubo riding his motorcycle and her eyes lit up immediately.
Rong Changqing noticed and asked, "What, you like it?"
Lu Qianqian nodded: "I like it."
As a child, she was a cool and rebellious young woman who loved riding motorcycles for a while. Later, she simply loved motorcycles and even wanted to get an E license, but her father stopped her, saying that a proper young lady shouldn't ride motorcycles! He completely stifled her hobby.
Rong Changqing held her hand, turned around and got into the car: "When you get better, I'll take you for a bike ride."
"Really?" Lu Qianqian asked in surprise.
Rong Changqing chuckled and reached out to hook her chin: "Yes, really."
This sight reminded him of a young girl he had met a long time ago when he was riding a motorcycle at night with Lu Yunxi. The way she looked at the motorcycle was exactly the same as Lu Qianqian's at this moment.
It's just that so much time has passed that he can no longer remember what the girl looked like; all that remains is that vivid memory.
……
Compared to Lu Qianqian, who was recuperating from a cold, Zhang Shengqin felt like the world had turned dark.
Since last night, a news report titled "Zhang's Real Estate Young Master Suspected of Rape" has been the top trending search, with its popularity soaring. Netizens are calling for Zhang Shengqin to be punished by law!
He was detained in the police station after the farce last night. The Zhang family went to great lengths to get him out, but he is still under strict control and not allowed to leave Kyoto, otherwise he would be considered a fugitive.
The commotion outside was so great that it couldn't be quiet inside either.
Rong Wanru kept crying. The Zhang family all blamed her for this, but she felt wronged: "Shengqin, I really didn't expect this matter to escalate so much. I just wanted to make Lu Qianqian infamous."
Little did they expect that the woman in the room was not Lu Qianqian at all, and that she would use the news media she brought to directly expose Zhang Shengqin's rape, which was simply shooting herself in the foot.
Zhang Shengqin grabbed his hair in frustration, furious: "You're going to kill me."
Rong Wanru felt even more wronged. She had already apologized, so why was he still criticizing her? Besides, she was his girlfriend; shouldn't he be the one apologizing to her?
Zhang's mother was so angry she was about to have a heart attack: "Wanru, you have to take responsibility for this. You have to keep quiet about that woman, otherwise Shengqin is finished!"
No matter how much money it costs, as long as Rong Wanru can use it to bribe that woman, things will be much easier.
Rong Wanru had nowhere to vent her anger, so she could only pinch her left hand hard with her right hand. How could she still be thinking of using her Rong family's money to bribe that woman at a time like this? It was infuriating!
Little did she know that the Zhang family was notoriously stingy and had already spent a lot of money on Zhang Jingyao. If they could salvage some of their losses from her this time, that would be the best outcome.
"Yes, Wanru." Mr. Zhang said, a cigarette dangling from his lips, sounding quite annoyed. "You're the one to deal with that woman. Besides, if it weren't for you, this whole thing wouldn't have blown up so much."
He also wanted to acquire some shares in the Rong family business to compensate for his son's losses.
Rong Wanru's face turned red with anger, but she was helpless. After all, she liked Zhang Shengqin, and for that reason, she was willing to run for him.
"Uncle and Aunt, what are you saying? I'm the only heir in my family. After I marry Shengqin, everything will be ours anyway."
Zhang's mother sneered inwardly, "This is different. What's yours is yours, and what's mine is mine. The concepts are not the same."
"Find a way to get that woman to drop the charges and change her story, saying that she seduced Shengqin and that it had nothing to do with him. To stop outsiders from dwelling on this matter, your Rong family must give Shengqin 20% of the shares to show that you genuinely believe in him!"
Twenty percent?
Rong Wanru gasped. This mother really dared to say that: "I will handle that woman's side. As for the shares, that needs to be discussed with my parents."
Zhang's mother snorted arrogantly, "Yes, but we need to do it as soon as possible. It's better for Shengqin if we resolve this quickly."
Rong Wanru nodded, but her heart was filled with anger.
She's a member of the Rong family's genealogy, how can we let her bully her like this?
It's too much!
……
"How is the situation?" Lu Qianqian lay on the bed with an ice pack on her forehead, holding the phone in her left hand to ask for the latest updates.
The waitress last night was named Li Ying. If it weren't for her intervention, Lu Qianqian would have been in danger.
Now that she's involved in this matter, Lu Qianqian naturally won't let her go unpunished.
“Miss Lu, you don’t need to feel guilty. Actually, I had a reason for doing this,” Li Ying replied. “My family is really short of money. My father is disabled, my mother remarried, my younger brother is still in school, and my grandparents are in poor health. If I had this money…”
Lu Qianqian frowned slightly. A family's misfortune can indeed make its children unhappy: "How much money do you need? I can give it to you."
If she changes her story now, public opinion will attack her, and the police will not easily forgive her.
Li Ying refused: "Yesterday you stood up for me and helped me compensate for that dress, I knew you were a good person. The Rong family is willing to give me one million, so my younger brother can continue his studies, and my grandparents can see a doctor and get medicine. I'll only be in jail for a few years, it's okay."
“No way!” Lu Qianqian shook her head. “One million? The Rong family is thinking too simply. Zhang Shengqin was the one with ulterior motives first. He is in the wrong. Since they are determined to get money, let’s fleece them a lot.”
Li Ying was taken aback: "You mean?"
“I will have Attorney Zhang help you. You don’t need to change your story. Just say that Zhang Shengqin committed attempted rape. You can drop the charges. After you get the money from the Rong family, Zhang Shengqin’s crime will still stand. He will go to jail according to the law!”
“But, like this…” Li Ying hesitated, “I’m afraid they’ll retaliate against me later.”
Lu Qianqian was startled and suddenly realized that she could help Li Ying for a while, but not for a lifetime. Given the vengeful nature of the Zhang and Rong families, if Zhang Shengqin really went to jail, they would definitely not let Li Ying go.
She sighed, realizing that this was not something she could control; it was wrong to put an ordinary person against such a powerful force.
"I'm sorry, I didn't consider your situation." I only wanted to use this to get Zhang Shengqin in jail, but now I realize I was too hasty. "How about this, I'll still have Attorney Zhang help. He'll tell you exactly what to do."
Li Ying breathed a sigh of relief: "I understand, thank you, Miss Lu."
"Actually, I should be thanking you." Regardless of whether she had ulterior motives, she was the one who saved me after all.
