40. Chapter 40 Guardian Angel
But just like this, Yang Ruoyan almost cried. Strong grievances welled up in her heart. Facing so many people making irresponsible remarks, scolding herself, and despising herself. She had never experienced such a thing before, and she was frightened.
I was speechless, tears streaming down my face.
"Miss, I'll compensate you. I didn't bring that much cash. Can I pay by credit card?"
Yang Ruoyan lowered his head and said, he just wanted to smash a crack in the ground and crawl in. He had no shame in staying here any longer.
"Yes, this way."
After the incident was revealed, the clerk's attitude changed a lot. He pointed at the cashier with contempt and refused to take her there.
"Just put it on my head. If I remember correctly, I should have a VIP card here."
Lin Zefeng took a step forward and held her, who was full of grievances. When seeing a weak and bullied girl, men always have the urge to protect her, and he was no exception.
The clerk's attitude toward Lin Zefeng immediately changed 360 degrees, bowing and smiling.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Lin is our VIP member. Of course he has a card, but her account...should be more appropriately placed on Young Master Chen, right?"
The clerk pointed at Yang Ruoyan, fearing that Lin Zefeng was keeping it in the dark and didn't know that she had the same thing as Chen Yibo.
"What? She is Chen Yibo's friend and I am no longer a friend? She can remember Mr. Chen's name, but she can't remember mine? My money is not money?"
Lin Zefeng was slightly angry, and his tone became much more serious. He changed his gentle temperament before and transformed into the image of a hero saving the beauty. His arrogant eyebrows were furrowed and his beautiful eyes looked at the clerk impatiently.
Just one look can have a scary effect.
The clerk nodded like a fool, his heart throbbing with pain as his idol glared at him, and he quickly said:
"Yes, yes, I will swipe your VIP card for you."
After that, he ran away in a panic.
Yang Ruoyan wiped the tears from her eyes, buried her head and said to him:
"No, I'll just swipe the card myself. I'm not very familiar with him, so I can't swipe his card."
She knew that every move of a public figure would attract attention, and if he paid for her today, it would definitely arouse fierce attacks from the media.
By then, tomorrow's headlines will probably be about topics such as 'The mistress cannot usurp the throne to seduce the big star'.
Besides, she didn't want to embarrass him, nor did she want him to pay for herself.
Unexpectedly, Lin Zefeng pulled her back again, put a hand on her shoulder, brought her close to him, and reminded everyone present angrily:
"Listen, she is my friend. I don't like to hear someone pointing and making irresponsible remarks about my friend in front of me.
No matter what she has done or not done, it has not harmed any of you, nor has it harmed everyone present. Why do you say this about her?
You know nothing, you blindly listen to the rumors of public opinion, you don’t understand what’s going on behind the scenes, and you’re just poking someone else’s spine here. Why don’t you ask her, why are you so bold to go there when you know it’s a wedding banquet for a wealthy family?
Beating the groom? Having a wedding?
Because she is also a victim. She has been in love with Mr. Chen for three years but has never had any thoughts about him. She has given everything sincerely. In the past three years, she and Chen Yibo have always implemented an AA system and are unwilling to accept any gifts from the other party.
