Chen Yue shook her head and sobbed. Luo Ying waved her hand to show that she was fine as well.
The man on the other side, who was being held down by the crowd, continued to struggle frantically. The man yelled, “Let me go! I’m teaching my daughter a lesson. What business do you have…”
With the others holding the man down, Lu Zhao stood up to look at Luo Ying.
Luo Ying also happened to look at him. Each person looked at the other to ensure that the other was doing fine.
Lu Zhao took out his phone and typed out a quick message. He walked over and gave Luo Ying a questioning look.
Luo Ying looked at Chen Yue and asked gently, “Is he your father? Can you tell us what happened?”
Cheng Zhen quickly set down the kettle and leaned over to Chen Yue, offering her a handkerchief in silence.
“We’ve cut all ties!” Chen Yue couldn’t help but cry. “They adopted me. When my mom died, he stopped caring about me. When I became an adult, I severed all ties with him!”
“Without my say, you have no right to cut ties! Do you hear me?” The middle-aged man had never stopped struggling and kicking. When he heard Chen Yue’s words, he roared into the air.
Chen Yue was unable to hold back her tears. Why did she have to be connected to someone like that?!
While remaining calm, Chen Yue continued, “”What he said is all lies. I’m already an adult, and he’s never paid for my education. I paid for college out of my own pocket. I legally broke off relations. He’s no longer my father!
Chen Yue wailed, “He is here for money. He is in deep with his gambling debts.”
Everybody felt an even greater urge to kick the middle-aged man after hearing this. Should he even be considered human?
It was clear that Chen Yue had a lot of skill when it came to writing scripts. When she came to town to film with the crew, she kept a low profile and worked hard. Everyone had a high opinion of her because it was unusual for someone under the age of 20 to be able to do this.
She appeared to be very young, so no one suspected that she had been through so much.
“I’m sorry to have troubled everyone.” Chen Yue fought back tears and whispered an apology.
Chen Yue had decided long before she graduated high school that she would never speak to or see him again. She had everything settled in advance of her college entrance exam because she had collected enough evidence.
Eventually, Chen Yue decided to leave home and attend college. Not even her family in her hometown knew which college she was attending.
Therefore, the man never looked for Chen Yue again.
She was sure she had left the past behind forever. Surprisingly, not only did he track her down, but he followed her all the way to a western city. He even suddenly rushed out when everyone was having a happy meal.
Cheng Zhen’s arms went around her, and her heart ached. “It’s okay, it’s okay. He can’t hurt you. The police will be here soon.”
Luo Ying consoled her as well. “Yes, when the police come, they will arrest him.”
“It’s not your fault.” Yan Xin quickly comforted her. “That person is to blame.
You don’t have to apologize for him.”
“That’s right, you’ve already done your best.” Luo Ying examined her scalp. Fortunately, she didn’t see any serious wounds.
Even though they were trying to make Chen Yue feel better, nobody seemed at ease.
Everyone involved understood that the situation could not be fixed so simply.
The police probably would not hold this man for more than a few days. But since he was able to follow her to a western small city today, he would undoubtedly be able to keep stalking and harassing Chen Yue in the future.
Luo Ying swiveled around to face Lu Zhao. For her, nothing short of a complete resolution would do. She could not stand by and allow Chen Yue’s gambling ex-adoptive father to continue harassing her.
Lu Zhao reached out and clasped Luo Ying’s wrist, saying softly, “Do not worry, I will handle it.”
This was Luo Ying’s production team. He was going to do everything in his power to protect her interests.
Shortly thereafter, with sirens blaring, the man was placed in handcuffs, his incessant swearing doing nothing to help his case. The officers removed him from the mayhem in the store.
This uproar put an end to the barbecue.
Chen Yue needed to get checked out, so Cheng Zhen and Yan Xin got ready to go with her to the hospital. Since Su Li had to go to the station to make a statement, everyone else dispersed.
Luo Ying had barely finished her first bite when this happened. M/hen Lu Zhao realized this, he had the personal chef start making dinner again.
“Is your hand okay?” Lu Zhao held Luo Ying’s wrist and examined it carefully.
Because Luo Ying exerted so much strength when she caught Chen Yue earlier, the wound had reopened. Blood could be faintly seen through the gauze..
