Chapter 69: Taking advantage of the situation
"You want to hit her?"
Perhaps in Mu Xiaoyu's heart now, Li Chenxu is gentle and extremely patient with her. But in the eyes of outsiders, Li Chenxu is always the ruthless and almost inhuman head of the Li family.
Now that those annoying entertainment media were gone, Li Chenxu made no attempt to hide himself. He exuded a strong sense of oppression that almost made Chen Lan unable to pass through. Moreover, Li Chenxu showed no mercy whatsoever!
Her breath caught in her throat, and the fear of impending death drove Chen Lan to struggle desperately, trying her best to break free from Li Chenxu's grasp. Unfortunately, Li Chenxu wouldn't give Chen Lan that chance.
Instead, seeing Chen Lan's struggling and fearful appearance, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "I think you heard what Xiao Yu said just now. If you didn't, it doesn't matter. I don't mind repeating it again. Chen Lan, right? Compared to Xiao Yu, when I deal with people, it's probably not as simple as just a slap. You won't have the job at the magazine, and you certainly won't have any better jobs from now on, from now on..."
Li Chenxu didn't continue speaking, but Chen Lan was no longer listening. Forget about work; she felt like she was about to die. Hearing this, she managed to say with great difficulty and pain, "Let...let go...I...know...I was wrong..."
Mu Xiaoyu stood behind them watching. Chen Lan was pale and ashen, and Mu Xiaoyu was afraid that Li Chenxu might accidentally kill someone. No matter how bad Chen Lan was, it was still a human life. If Li Chenxu were to be implicated in this, it would be a stain on the Li family and Li Chenxu himself. Mu Xiaoyu didn't want Li Chenxu to be tainted by something bad because of someone like Chen Lan.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu quickly grabbed Li Chenxu's arm just before Chen Lan started rolling her eyes and was about to lose consciousness, saying, "Chenxu, let her go, she's going to die if this continues."
The moment he finished speaking, Li Chenxu almost immediately put Chen Lan down. The feeling of surviving a near-death experience, the sensation of breathing fresh air, brought Chen Lan's fear to its peak. Ignoring the situation, she immediately burst into tears. Her face was streaked with tears and she looked utterly disheveled.
She was clearly a pretty and delicate girl, but because of her wicked heart, she has ended up in such a miserable and wretched state. I don't know whether to call Chen Lan stupid or to say she's pitiful.
Mu Xiaoyu took a deep look at Chen Lan, who was lying on the ground clutching her neck and crying, and then looked at Li Chenxu beside her and said, "Chenxu, let's go. Chen Lan should have learned her lesson this time. We don't need to waste any more time on her."
Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu nodded, took Mu Xiaoyu's hand, and walked back to the villa.
Neither of them glanced at Chen Lan again, especially Li Chenxu. To be honest, normally, Li Chenxu would never give someone like Chen Lan a second look in his daily life. If it weren't for what happened today, he wouldn't even want to talk to such a person, for fear of dirtying his mouth.
However, since they dared to set their sights on Mu Xiaoyu, then we have no choice but to take action...
Chen Lan voluntarily resigned from her job at the magazine, and it must be said that she did a really good job. After all, if news of Chen Hao's actions got out, she would definitely find it very difficult to stay at the magazine.
However, given Chen Lan's family background, finding a better job might be a bit difficult.
Mu Xiaoyu didn't know why Chen Lan would do something detrimental to her, but one thing was certain: it was related to Chen Lan's own interests. So Li Chenxu simply started from there.
Just as Li Chenxu told the media, he would arrange a job for Chen Lan, but to avoid being disturbed by the media and others, the details of the job would be kept secret.
As for this job, Chen Lan will have to do it whether she wants to or not.
Li Chenxu handled Chen Lan's matter very cleverly this time. The next day, when Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu were having breakfast, they saw the interview clips from the previous night on the morning news.
The reporters understood that they didn't dare to really offend Li Chenxu, so the editing was all in favor of Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu. The scene of Chen Lan kneeling before Mu Xiaoyu was not included at all. On the contrary, because of the editing, at least on TV, Chen Lan seemed a bit aggressive.
Because of this, there were even some criticisms of Chen Lan online. At first, there weren't many, but later, whether it was Li Chenxu's doing behind the scenes or because Chen Lan was so disliked by the villains around her, it didn't take long before all the sordid and shameful things Chen Lan had done in the past were exposed.
Chen Hao had only been locked up for a few days when Chen Lan's past was exposed again, completely ruining the reputation of the Chen siblings. While Chen Hao was locked up, it wasn't a big deal, but now that Chen Lan was out in the open, anyone who had seen the news would secretly curse her, turning her into a pariah.
Previously, Mu Xiaoyu felt disgusted and repulsed by Chen Lan's actions. Now, because of Chen Lan's situation, the media reporters brought up her work, giving her free publicity. Before the magazine had even started promoting it, Mu Xiaoyu's comics had become a hit.
Furthermore, Mu Xiaoyu's comic book already has a large number of die-hard fans, and some of these fans are incredibly powerful, not everyone can match them. After this incident became widely known, even some of Mu Xiaoyu's more fervent fans wanted to unite and attack Chen Lan.
Fortunately, Mu Xiaoyu usually interacts with these book fans, and after learning about this, she immediately stopped them.
Now that they've already started acting, they might as well go all the way. They've already left an image of being kind and generous in the minds of the media and the public, so now they should keep up the good work and build an even better image for both her and Li Chenxu. They might reap even more rewards than they have now.
Just like Mu Xiaoyu, on the fifth day of the incident, at its climax, Li Chenxu gave another interview to the media. Maintaining his usual concise style, he clearly told everyone that he would forgive Chen Lan's previous actions and would try to help her correct her past mistakes, making her a completely new person. He hoped everyone would give her a chance.
He didn't say much, just a few words, but he had already established an image of a kind and magnanimous gentleman in the public eye.
