Chapter 44 It's so good to have a boss protecting you
"Dad, it's her!" Zhou Ran didn't dare to cause trouble for Gu Ye, since she still wanted to marry him, so she blamed all the responsibility on Chu Xinglan.
"You brat who came from who-knows-where bullied my daughter? How dare you!"
Zhou Tongxiao glared at Chu Xinglan and raised his hand to strike Chu Xinglan's face.
"President Zhou, I advise you to think carefully before you take action," Gu Ye said coldly.
Only then did Chairman Zhou notice Gu Ye standing next to Chu Xinglan.
"Mr. Gu, what are you doing here?" Chairman Zhou hurriedly nodded and bowed, completely losing his chairman's airs in front of Gu Ye, and carefully and obsequiously smiled.
“I was the one who hit your daughter; it has nothing to do with her,” Gu Ye continued.
Chairman Zhou was somewhat confused by what he heard.
Ranran said that this girl hit her, so how did it become Gu Ye?
"Mr. Gu, I don't know what my daughter did wrong that made you disregard even my face and treat her so severely. Look, she's almost crippled," Chairman Zhou asked, puzzled.
"Knowing he's almost crippled, why don't you hurry up and have your daughter apologize and take him to the hospital for treatment? If it's too late and he ends up paralyzed, don't blame me." Gu Ye's voice was even colder.
"Ranran, what... what exactly happened? How did you get involved with Mr. Gu?" Chairman Zhou walked up to his daughter and asked in a low voice.
"I...I..." Zhou Ran stammered.
"Wang Kun, you've been following Miss the whole time. Tell me, what's going on here?" Chairman Zhou angrily rebuked Uncle Wang behind him.
Uncle Wang walked out cautiously, looked at Zhou Ran, and had no choice but to tell Chairman Zhou everything that had happened that day.
"You rebellious daughter, look what trouble you've caused me!" Upon hearing this, Chairman Zhou was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped Zhou Ran hard across the face.
"Dad, I'm the victim here. Why are you siding with outsiders to scold me?" Zhou Ran was stunned by the beating. She couldn't understand why her father, who had always doted on her, would hit her.
Looking at his beaten daughter, Chairman Zhou felt a pang of regret for his impulsiveness. She was still injured, but thinking of the trouble she had caused, he trembled with anger.
"Mr. Gu, my daughter was ignorant and offended you. Please forgive her."
"Dad, how are you going to apologize to him? You're the president of the Chamber of Commerce, the top business leader!" Zhou Ran couldn't understand why her high and mighty father seemed to be inferior to Gu Ye.
"Shut up," Chairman Zhou said unhappily, then whispered, "I was appointed chairman of the chamber of commerce by Mr. Gu because of Dingyang. Mr. Gu's influence in the business world is beyond what I, as chairman, can compare to."
Even if Zhou Ran were a complete idiot, she would realize at this moment that she had really messed with someone she shouldn't have messed with.
"Originally, it would have been enough for Miss Zhou to apologize alone, but now I have to trouble Chairman Zhou to bring your daughter to apologize to my people."
Gu Ye glanced at his well-defined fingers and spoke casually.
This attitude suggests that they won't give up until they get a satisfactory solution.
"Dingyang!" To save face, Chairman Zhou had no choice but to ask his nephew for help. After all, he and Gu Ye were close friends, and as long as he pleaded for them, Gu Ye would definitely not make things difficult for them anymore.
"Also remember to apologize to Qingqing. You are my uncle, so you don't need to apologize. Let your cousin apologize to Qingqing." Unexpectedly, Shen Dingyang not only did not plead for her, but also demanded that Zhou Ran apologize.
"Cousin!" Zhou Ran said reluctantly.
“We’re all family, and Ranran didn’t mean it, so I won’t apologize. Let Ranran apologize to Miss Chu instead!” Li Qing quickly said, not wanting to make things difficult for her husband in front of their relatives.
"Since that's the case, I won't hold it against you this time. But next time, will Ranran pay attention to your words and actions? Qingqing is your sister-in-law. If you can't see her clearly, then you look down on me." Shen Dingyang spared his cousin for the time being out of respect for his wife.
Zhou Ran felt wronged after Shen Dingyang said that to her.
Having no other choice, Chairman Zhou had to respectfully apologize to Chu Xinglan in front of everyone, along with Zhou Ran.
“Miss Chu, my daughter was rash. I will now bring her to apologize to you.”
Faced with the Chamber of Commerce president's apology, Chu Xinglan was somewhat at a loss; this was simply too much of a favor.
"Do you want to leave?" Gu Ye asked softly, holding Chu Xinglan's hand.
"Yes!" Chu Xinglan answered immediately, eager for the answer. First, Gu Ye confessed his feelings, and now the Chamber of Commerce president apologized to her. She was already panicking and just wanted to escape the scene.
Gu Ye had already seen through her intentions. Now that he had gotten the apology he wanted, he pulled Chu Xinglan away from the scene in front of everyone.
"Ranran, you!" Chairman Zhou pointed at his daughter's face, so angry he didn't know what to say.
Zhou Ran also looked aggrieved, envying, jealous, and helpless as she looked at Chu Xinglan who was following Gu Ye.
"Why did you come out so quickly?" Xue Bai looked at Gu Ye and Chu Xinglan as they approached, his face full of surprise.
"Xinglan, was that Miss Zhou at the banquet tonight? Did you run into her?" Xue Bai pulled Chu Xinglan aside and asked in a low voice.
His hand accidentally touched the wound on Chu Xinglan's wrist.
Chu Xinglan cried out in pain.
"What? How did you get injured?" Xue Bai was both surprised and distressed when he saw the injury on Chu Xinglan's wrist.
Gu Ye grabbed him by the back of his collar, pulled him away, and put Chu Xinglan into the car.
"When we take Lanlan home, we'll stop by the pharmacy to buy some medicine."
"Okay, boss," Xue Bai replied quickly.
"No, it's just a small scratch, the wound is almost healed," Chu Xinglan hurriedly said, it really was just a tiny scratch from a piece of glass.
"Even a minor injury shouldn't be taken lightly; you must be careful." Gu Ye was already heartbroken to see her injured, and he couldn't let her do anything reckless.
"Xinglan, just listen to the boss!" Xue Bai, who was driving, smiled. It was rare to see the boss so nervous; it was quite amusing.
Chu Xinglan glanced at Gu Ye and then fell silent.
Back at the apartment, Gu Ye personally cleaned her wounds and applied medicine, his movements unusually gentle, as if afraid of hurting her. Xue Bai, who was standing to the side, became a little anxious.
"What happened? How could Xinglan get hurt when you were here with the boss?" Xue Bai asked, sitting back in his chair, puzzled.
"That was an accident. The boss didn't expect Miss Zhou to suddenly attack. But Miss Zhou was in a much worse situation than me. The boss kicked her and broke her ribs."
Chu Xinglan lowered her head and chuckled softly.
She originally thought Xue Bai slapping Zhou Ran was cool enough, but she didn't expect the boss to be even more domineering, almost crippling her. But how come she didn't realize that Gu Ye was so violent?
