Chapter 261: Don’t Compromise Your Integrity Over A

Breakup

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ruan Qi had never been in a romantic relationship, so she was clueless about relationships and prone to impulsivity.

She felt wronged as the situation escalated and Zhu Fan gave her the meanest tongue-lashing.

Jiang Jingchen continued, “Ruan Qi, make a public statement that you are in love with someone else, apologize to Zhu Fan and break up with him.”

“Young Master, this is my fault. It has nothing to do with her.”

Jiang Jingchen gave Song Zhou a look. “It’s indeed your fault. She’s young, inexperienced and reckless. You like her, but you didn’t handle your relationship with her well and even made her suffer.”

Jiang Jingchen’s words were fair and reasonable. He did not take sides but his tone when scolding Song Zhou did not sound like he was joking at all.

“Ruan Qi, you acted impulsively and agreed to be Zhu Fan’s girlfriend when you have no feelings for him. You should take responsibility for your recklessness. Zhu Fan was right to ask for a public apology and you should do it!”

Ruan Qi sniffled and nodded guiltily.

She had been too reckless.

“I’ll apologize.”

She took out her phone and wrote an apology on her WeChat Moments, took responsibility for all her mistakes and showed it to Zhu Fan.

Zhu Fan read her message with disdain. His face was cold, and he didn’t say anything.

Ruan Qi pursed her lips and clicked the post button.

Jiang Jingchen then looked at Zhu Fan and said, “She has apologized and said what she needed to say. You guys are broken up now, so don’t pester her anymore.”

“I won’t touch anything that dirties me!” Zhu Fan snorted in disdain.

He used to think that this girl was quite cute and likable. He had asked her to be his girlfriend and wasted his time on her.

But when he heard that she had given her first kiss to someone else and witnessed her kissing another man so passionately, he was furious.

He only had one thought in his mind: Ruan Qi was a dirty woman and not worthy of him.

If they were to break up, he must be the initiator. She had no right!

“Zhu Fan, watch your mouth!”

Song Zhou was furious. Zhu Fan was usually quiet, but he was capable of such mean words.

Zhu Fan sneered and retorted, “I knew that there was something going on between you two, but I didn’t expect Ruan Qi to be so unruly. A friend of mine warned me that she must have an ulterior motive when she hit on me, that she might be after my money but I didn’t believe it at the time.”

“Now that I think about it, she called me Brother Fan from the start to get close to me. Such recklessness! Who knows how many men she has slept with? I’d advise you to get yourself tested to make sure that you didn’t catch any disease from her!”

As Ruan Qi’s newly broken up ex-boyfriend, Zhu Fan’s words were vicious.

Ruan Qi did not expect her words that were meant to make him laugh in the past could be twisted so badly. She was so angry that she wanted to cry.

“I was just teasing you. I only called you Brother Fan a few times. Also, I really wanted to give it a try with you.”

“Oh, you want to try dating someone you’ve only met once. You’re so casual. No wonder you’re kissing and hugging Mr. Song in a place like this. You have no sense of shame at all!”

Fang Han, who had rushed over to watch the commotion, raised her eyebrows in surprise when she heard Zhu Fan’s words.

One really couldn’t judge a book by its cover. A man who looked gentle, polite, and humble was actually such a resentful straight ex-boyfriend.

This young girl teased him by calling him Brother Fan a few times and that was considered reckless?

Didn’t he enjoy it when a junior called him Brother Fan?

She was shameless because she wanted to date him after meeting him just once?

Couldn’t it have been love at first sight?

It was human nature that he was sexually attracted to Ruan Qi. Why did he have to pretend that he was a gentleman?

He was studying to be a doctor. Did he have brain damage?

At this moment, Jiang Jingchen said, “Ruan Qi has already announced publicly that she has broken up with you, so the two of you have nothing to do with each other anymore. Ruan Qi is now Song Zhou’s charge.”

“Song Zhou, someone has insulted your woman. What have you got to say?”

Song Zhou was so angry that he didn’t want to speak. He simply stepped forward and punched Zhu Fan. Zhu Fan stared at him in shock.

“You, you two tricked me!”

Jiang Jingchen pursed his lips and said lazily, “It’s just a relationship but you embarrassed the girl so badly. You were just asking for a beating!”

“Beat, beat him until he begs for mercy, then let him go. If he’s crippled, I’ll take you to the Zhu family to file a lawsuit!”

Jiang Jingchen spoke up for Song Zhou and Ruan Qi. If Zhu Fan were more sensible, he wouldn’t have said such unpleasant words.

They were just dating, and it hadn’t been that long. Their relationship wasn’t even stable yet but spending time with Ruan Qi seemed like such a huge sacrifice… A man like him was not worthy of a nice girl at all.

Song Zhou heard what Jiang Jingchen had said and didn’t hold back. He gave Zhu Fan a beating until Zhu Fan curled up in a fetal position on the floor holding his head.

Ruan Qi felt that she was at fault too and went up to stop Song Zhou. “That’s enough, Song Zhou. Stop beating him. I’m at fault in this matter too. Let him go-”

Only then did Song Zhou stop.

He stared coldly at Zhu Fan as he said, “It was one relationship. Don’t compromise your integrity over a breakup. You will still be schoolmates. If you dare to do anything funny again, 1 can also kill you!”

Zhu Fan got up and glared at Song Zhou angrily. At the sight of Song Zhou’s raised arm, he covered his head again quickly.

Song Zhou sneered. He wouldn’t hit Zhu Fan again after he said that he would stop. He was just scaring him.

Ruan Qi looked at Zhu Fan and said, “We are done, Zhu Fan. Take care of yourself.”

“Ruan Qi, you pretended to be innocent and toyed with my feelings because you thought that I was easy to fool. Let me tell you, it’s not that simple!”

Zhu Fan wiped the blood off the corners of his mouth, got up and ran. He was too hasty and ran into a pillar in the hotel lobby. He staggered and fell, sprawling awkwardly on the floor before he got up in a sorry state.

Fang Han looked at Zhu Fan’s wretched state and wanted to laugh.

Zhu Fan looked so gentle and introverted. She was once optimistic about him and Ruan Qi and didn’t expect him to say such terrible things when they broke up.

Ruan Qi had given her first kiss to someone else, and he thought that she was dirty.

He also had a crush on someone else. Then, was he also dirty?

Fortunately, Ruan Qi was a young person who valued relationships and didn’t hold grudges.

If it were her, she would have picked up the fire extinguisher and smashed his head, so he could go to the hospital and have his brain checked.

Being harsh to others without self-reflection was a disease that required treatment!

Unfortunately, Zhu Fan was up against Jiang Jingchen, who was a cunning old fox capable of killing without spilling blood.

Zhu Fan was led step by step into a trap, but he didn’t even know it.

Jiang Jingchen forced Ruan Qi to make a public statement about her being in love with someone else not to embarrass her, but to break them up.

And to indirectly declare her relationship with Song Zhou, making the two of them official.

He also had an ulterior motive when he said proudly that Ruan Qi was Song Zhou’s charge.

Tsk, how could Tang Beibei, an innocent and cute little rabbit, be a match for such a man.

Too bad for Fu Jin though. His love rival was too strong. No matter how young and talented he was, he couldn’t win against Jiang Jingchen’s schemes.

Ruan Qi felt terrible after such a terrible encounter. On top of that, she was slightly drunk and her head was spinning. She wanted to go back to her room to rest.

Song Zhou wanted to accompany Ruan Qi but was stopped by her. She told him that she wanted to be alone.

“Qiqi, 1…” Tang Beibei thought that Qiqi was sad at this time and wanted to comfort her and be a good friend.

However, the man pinched the back of her neck. She turned her head in confusion and asked, “Hubby, why are you stopping me?”

Jiang Jingchen didn’t think that this was the time for Tang Beibei to be with Ruan Qi.

“Let Song Zhou go. Since they’ve already discussed their relationship, it’s time for them to have a good talk.”

Jiang Jingchen then turned around, kicked Song Zhou and told him in a low voice, “Go chase after her. Be as thick-skinned as possible and stabilize your relationship.”

“…” Song Zhou chased after Ruan Qi.

Tang Beibei was worried. “What if Song Zhou can’t settle her and they get into a fight? What if Qiqi got even more upset?”

Jiang Jingchen wanted to tell her that if this couple were to fight, they would be fighting in bed. Ruan Qi would at most feel a little physical discomfort..
