Chapter 14

“Fu Yilan, how dare you seduce Brother Lu?” A hand came at her with a gust of wind.

The imagined pain didn’t come. Fu Yilan turned her head, and Lu Jing had taken the slap from Gu Jingjing.

Gu Jingjing: “Brother Lu!”

Fu Yilan snapped out of it from the shout. She raised her right palm and, with the speed of lightning, gave Gu Jingjing a slap.

“Ah!” Gu Jingjing screamed, covering her face.

Lu Jing: “…”

“!” Lu Jing turned his head, his eyes wide. “Fu Yilan, you—”

“Holy crap!” Behind the monitor, the employee on duty was startled. He slammed the table and pressed his face against the screen. “They’re fighting?”

“Hey hey hey!” The employee grabbed the phone. “Something’s happened, something’s happened!”

BEEP— A car honked for a long time.

Fu Haitang, with a flushed, drunken face, tripped over her own feet, hurrying back to the station. On the 23rd floor, her vision was blurry, and she pressed the wrong floor on the elevator.

Damn it…

Hurry up and press it!

…

“Fu Yilan! You b1tch! Ahhhhhhh! I’m going to tear you apart!” Gu Jingjing roared in the practice room, clenching her fists and chasing after Fu Yilan.

Lu Jing: “Jingjing! Stop being so ridiculous!”

“I’m being ridiculous? You’re saying I’m being ridiculous? She hit me, didn’t you see?” Gu Jingjing broke down and cried. “I want to go home, I want to go home!”

Lu Jing: “I’ll have someone take you.”

“…”

Fu Yilan leaned against the wall, panting. She didn’t know that a pampered young lady like Gu Jingjing could run so fast.

She really meant to kill her.

All for an alpha?

“Wuwuwu…” Gu Jingjing sobbed in Lu Jing’s arms, “Brother Lu.”

Fu Yilan: “…”

Fu Yilan was speechless. She walked to the corner, picked up her backpack, and left the practice room.

“Wait, Fu Yilan.” Lu Jing struggled, but Gu Jingjing was holding onto his waist tightly.

Fu Yilan rolled her eyes, closed the door, and turned around. The world suddenly went black: “You—”

“Shh!” A hand covered Fu Yilan’s mouth, pulling her into the elevator. “Did you get into a fight with Gu Jingjing?”

Fu Yilan: “How do you know?”

Fu Haitang: “…How do I know? The whole TV station will know soon! Don’t you know there’s surveillance in there!”

The two entered the elevator. The clean elevator wall reflected Fu Yilan and Fu Haitang, who were two body lengths apart.

One had a smirk on her face, and the other was filled with the scent of alcohol and a worried expression.

Fu Yilan: “Didn’t you go drinking?”

Fu Haitang pretended to be serious: “Come with me.”

The elevator arrived at the 22nd floor.

Fu Haitang licked her lips and took Fu Yilan to her office.

The moment the door closed, Ren Qing’s call came.

Fu Haitang drank some water and said, “President Ren.”

“Tell Fu Yilan to go to…” Ren Qing said.

Fu Haitang pointed to a chair and desk nearby, motioning for Fu Yilan to sit, while interrupting Ren Qing. “Fu Yilan! I’ve already scolded her. I came back to get something, and I didn’t expect to run into…”

Fu Yilan raised an eyebrow. She sat in the chair, placed her hands on her stomach, then crossed her legs and spun the rolling chair around.

“I’m in charge of Class D. Don’t worry, I’ve already scolded her. I’ll personally go apologize to Gu Jingjing tomorrow,” Fu Haitang said, tilting her head. She was drunk and didn’t notice her slurred speech, but she still pretended to be serious. “Gu Jingjing… yes…”

Ren Qing’s voice raised: “You’re going to apologize? Do you know who Gu Jingjing is…”

“The daughter of Gu Motors,” Fu Haitang sighed again, then covered her forehead. “Sister Qing, it’s better not to make a big deal out of this. Don’t worry, leave it to me. The Gu family’s daughter won’t make things difficult for the TV station.”

Ren Qing on the other end of the phone was stunned. She asked with doubt, “You have connections to the Gu family?”

“Mmm,” Fu Haitang answered vaguely. Her eyes were already unfocused, as if she could fall asleep at any moment.

Fu Yilan went over to help her, took her phone, and hung up the call. Fu Haitang tried to keep her eyes open. “You… the public performance is coming up soon. You’re trying to get into trouble at a time like this by offending Gu Jingjing?”

Fu Yilan: “The more she hates me, the more it benefits us, doesn’t it? If she wants you to ruin my public performance, then can’t we make a fortune?”

“Are you crazy for money?” Fu Haitang asked.

Fu Yilan was silent.

Fu Haitang looked at the time. “I’m going downstairs first. You come in ten minutes.”

“Where to?” Fu Yilan was answered by the sound of the door closing.

(Something happened on the 23rd floor?)

In the trainees’ group chat, everyone was gossiping, saying that Ren Qing had returned to the TV station late at night and had a huge tantrum.

(I don’t know, but at that time, other classes were still doing extra practice, and only Class D was dismissed the earliest.)

(Uh, when we left, only Teacher Lu and Fu Yilan were left in there.)

The group chat went silent.

Then, rows of question marks appeared, as if they wanted to break the group chat.

Fu Yilan looked at the messages for a while, and when the time was up, she went downstairs on time.

…

As Fu Yilan walked out of the TV station, she saw Fu Haitang’s face, a ghostly red, propped on the car window. Fu Haitang grinned foolishly at her. “Hi.”

So drunk and still coming back to meddle in things. Fu Yilan gripped the strap of her backpack. She walked closer and asked, “I just asked you, weren’t you on a date tonight? Why didn’t you answer?”

Fu Haitang still didn’t respond.

Something was thrown over. Fu Yilan fumbled to catch it. When she opened her hand, she found a car key.

“You drive,” Fu Haitang said before shrinking back into the car, limp and weak.

Fu Yilan: “…”

So drunk, Fu Yilan was afraid she’d be taken advantage of. She had no choice but to get in the car, start it, and ask, “Where do you live?”

Fu Haitang poked the phone on the center console. The location was displayed: “Go here.”

The location was the TV station.

Fu Yilan: “…”

“B2,” Fu Haitang said.

So she was just ordering her to park the car. Fu Yilan was speechless: “I hope you get fined to death.”

After the car was parked.

Fu Haitang gave another order, telling her to look in the back seat.

Fu Yilan was surprised. Fu Haitang had bought a pile of snacks, drinking food, and a can of beer, all messily piled in the back seat.

Fu Yilan picked up the alcohol and, with the drunkard, walked through the B2 of the TV station building. The drunkard pointed to the tall building next to the TV station building. The two got into the elevator and pressed a floor.

This elevator went directly to the Hufei Hotel on the 32nd floor of the building.

After checking in, the front desk gave them a regular room with a decent view for 5,000 yuan a night.

Fu Yilan: “Did you hit the jackpot? Did you sell Gu Jingjing’s car for cash?”

Fu Haitang thumped into the sofa. Her things fell all over the floor. “So soft. It’s my first time staying in a presidential suite. Do you know, burp… Do you know how much money I’ve made in less than a week?”

Fu Yilan opened the window, cursing herself for going crazy with a drunkard. She then took out her phone and messaged her boss to ask for a day off.

The Hufei Hotel had a total of 38 floors. At night, a few large pillar-shaped spotlights lit up the rooftop. The light beams swayed back and forth, like light sabers piercing the darkness, a landmark that guided people in City A to recognize the city center.

“Let me tell you,” Fu Haitang grabbed Fu Yilan and put an arm around her shoulder. “I had a great time tonight.”

Fu Yilan narrowed her eyes at her and then looked at the back of Fu Haitang’s neck, wanting to know what kind of “great time” she was talking about.

Fu Haitang’s drunkenness subsided a little from Fu Yilan’s gaze. She took the opened beer from Fu Yilan, chugged two mouthfuls, and suddenly held her stomach, laughing loudly.

Fu Haitang turned around. A gust of wind came at the right time. She stopped laughing, her gloomy gaze meeting Fu Yilan’s. She spread her hands and said, “Do you know? Ren Qing wanted to sleep with me.”

Fu Yilan unwrapped the cake Fu Haitang had brought. She was sweating and didn’t mind that the floor was dirty. She sat cross-legged and ate the dessert, watching Fu Haitang go crazy from alcohol.

“Did I agree?” Fu Haitang asked, a hint of madness in her eyes. “Why did she have that look of certainty?”

“I slapped her hard in the face!” Fu Haitang clenched her fists, hammered the air a few times, stumbled, and then stood steady. She curled her fingers to tuck a loose strand of hair behind her ear, knelt down, and said, “Thank you, young lady, for the car!”

Fu Yilan got up to boil some water.

Fu Haitang poked her head out from behind Fu Yilan and rested it on her shoulder, her breath like an orchid. “Guess what I’m going to do tomorrow?”

“Are you traumatized?” Fu Yilan was surprised.

Fu Haitang snorted coldly and said, “Ren Qing thought she could sleep with me by just giving me a cardigan…”

Fu Yilan was silent for two seconds and said, “You’re very pretty, and you’re in your heat period. Anyone would want to sleep with you.”

Fu Haitang was stunned. She stumbled and hit the corner of the wall. The main lights in the room went out, and only the wall lamp under the TV cabinet was still on.

Fu Yilan just smiled. There was still a little bit of cream on her nose. Her one dimple appeared as she smiled. “Didn’t you know that?”

Fu Haitang’s throat tightened: “No, I… I didn’t!”

She stuffed a spoonful of cream into her mouth. The sweetness in her mouth made Fu Haitang feel panicked. She thought to herself, why is this protagonist so reckless with her words!

She would say anything!

Fu Yilan gave a threatening smile. In the dim light, her eyes were hidden by her long eyelashes. She was wearing a tank top with a muscle shirt as her training outfit today, a pure white cotton style.

The neckline was very low, half-revealing her collarbone. Her two slender arms were exposed. A gust of wind blew, lifting her shirt from behind, revealing a cinched waist and a thin back.

Anyone would want to sleep with me?

That sentence flowed like magma in the depths of Fu Haitang’s heart. Her face was hot. She changed the subject: “I’m going to take a shower. Uh, this is a suite, you can stay in the other room!”

The bathroom door slammed shut. Fu Haitang’s phone chimed. The messages came in rapidly, and the phone kept vibrating. If it were an urgent matter, she’d be notified in time.

Fu Yilan picked up the phone and scoffed.

The messages were all from Gu Jingjing, scolding her. She didn’t know how much bad-mouthing Fu Haitang had done about her.

“What’s wrong?” The door opened a crack, and an eye looked out. A roomful of crabapple pheromones rushed out.

Fu Yilan: “You have a message.”

Fu Haitang took her phone and was startled. “I’m screwed!”

Fu Yilan comforted her: “Don’t panic.”

“The young lady is asking me why I’m with you!” Fu Haitang cried out.

Fu Yilan frowned: “That’s definitely bad. If we’re exposed, can we still make money?”

When money was mentioned, Fu Yilan immediately became sensible.

Fu Haitang looked at her helplessly, really wanting to show her the messages.

Gu Jingjing: (Fu Yilan’s heat is approaching. I want you to, no matter what, throw away her inhibitor! It’s a must! I want her to make a fool of herself in front of the entire TV station!)

“Do you know what the young lady wants me to do?” Fu Haitang asked.

Fu Yilan looked relaxed. “What? You can do anything you want. I will cooperate fully, 100%!”
