Bound by Secrets

Chapter 2: Being Bullied

Xu Lan Yi, with swollen eyes, went out and saw the man coming out alone before she reached the private room. She hurriedly followed him. The man walked at a moderate pace and lit a cigarette when he reached the door.

He looked as if he was in a very bad mood.

Xu Lan Yi followed him in, but as soon as she reached the door, she was pulled into someone's arms and tightly hugged. She wanted to scream, but when she saw the person's face, she didn't make a sound.

"How come? Can't the men in the nightclub satisfy you, so you're so thirsty that you chase to the men's room?" The man's sarcastic words hit Xu Lan Yi's heart.

Xu Lan Yi glanced at the urinals inside with annoyance: "You're mistaken, I have something I want to talk to you about..."

"Something? Discussing the price with me?" The man's big hand slid to Xu Lan Yi's buttocks and pressed hard.

They were too close, and Xu Lan Yi immediately felt the change in his body, scaring her to struggle: "Let me go!"

"How come? Do you want to sleep with Boss Wang instead of me? He can touch you, but I can't?" The man said through gritted teeth.

"Chen Yan Ran, let me go!" Xu Lan Yi was repeatedly humiliated by him, and could no longer bear it. She bit his arm.

The man stiffened all over and stood there in a daze.

Xu Lan Yi took the opportunity to break free from his arms, with tears on her face, she accused: "Chen Yan Ran, how can you treat me like this? Why have you become like this!"

Why did he become like this? Isn't it all because of you? The man sneered, grabbed Xu Lan Yi's hand that hit his chest, and said fiercely: "My name is Lu Chen Yu."

"What kind of joke are you making? Chen Yan Ran, I know you still hate me, you can continue to hate me, as long as you are still alive."

A trace of pain flashed in Lu Chen Yu's eyes, but it was replaced by indifference in an instant. He shook off Xu Lan Yi, trapped her between the sink and himself, and said frivolously: "Are you going to say that I look very much like your old lover? Such a clichéd trick, it's an insult to me."

"Chen Yan Ran, stop making trouble." Seeing his indifferent and ruthless appearance, Xu Lan Yi's initial certainty had already wavered. Could he really not be Chen Yan Ran?

The dead cannot come back to life, right? But what if, what if there is a miracle?

"I said my name is Lu Chen Yu, don't let me hear those three words again!" Lu Chen Yu raised his hand, Xu Lan Yi instinctively closed her eyes, but his palm did not fall, but clenched into a fist and let her go.

"Miss, if you still want to seduce me, either take off your clothes and let me have you, or get out!"

Seeing the indifference and sarcasm in Lu Chen Yu's eyes, Xu Lan Yi almost really believed that the person in front of her was not Chen Yan Ran, but that identical face made her unable to let go.

"Either take off, or get out!" Lu Chen Yu loosened his tie, looking very impatient.

Xu Lan Yi instinctively looked at the current situation, the men's room...

"How come? Dislike here, want to go to a hotel? Do you deserve it?" Lu Chen Yu's face was flushed, if it wasn't for the alcohol, he probably wouldn't want a woman like her, right?

After all, with his looks, with his status, what kind of woman doesn't he have, why come to the nightclub to find?

Xu Lan Yi shook her head, no longer caring to explore his identity, and walked towards the door.

Suddenly her hand was grabbed, and she bumped into his hard chest, his breath hitting her ear, making her a bit scared.

The man's emotions surged in his eyes, with anger, sarcasm, contempt, and even a trace of pain.

Xu Lan Yi shook her head, she must have been mistaken, how could such a person have pain in his eyes?

Lu Chen Yu looked at the face in his arms, seemed to be somewhat greedy to touch it, and then tore her clothes.

Xu Lan Yi was startled and covered her chest: "What do you want to do? I never thought about seducing you, never thought about it!"

Lu Chen Yu turned a deaf ear, his eyes were red as if he was a crazy beast, and in a few moves, he tore her clothes off.

Xu Lan Yi leaned against the wall in a mess, the cold touch made her heart sink to the bottom.

"Don't come over! I never thought about seducing you, don't come over!"

Lu Chen Yu pressed on, and finally stopped less than ten centimeters away from Xu Lan Yi, raised his big hand, and pink banknotes fell all over the floor.

"Aren't you fond of money? Pick it up, it's all yours."

"Lu Chen Yu, you bastard!" Xu Lan Yi curled up, crying uncontrollably, at this moment she was completely disheartened, how could this devil-like person be Chen Yan Ran?

Lu Chen Yu sneered, arrogantly stepped on the pink banknotes on the ground and walked out, never looking at her again.

Xu Lan Yi stayed in the bathroom for a long time, strangely no one came in, she was awakened by the cold.

"Yan Yan, can you come to the nightclub? Bring me some clothes."

"What's wrong? Were you bullied? I told you not to work there, but you didn't listen! You wait there, I'll come right away."

Mo Yan saw Xu Lan Yi, who was shrouded in a few pieces of rags in the men's room, and almost didn't recognize her.

Her makeup was removed, her left face was a bit swollen, and the exposed skin faintly showed traces of bruising.

"Who did this? I'll f*****g kill him!" Mo Yan's nose was sour, and tears fell down.

Xu Lan Yi is a girl who is pitiful at first glance, Mo Yan can't stand her suffering, now seeing her like this, her lungs are almost about to explode.

Xu Lan Yi hurriedly stopped her: "I'm fine."

"Fine? Is this still called fine? Is it the next time something happens, you directly call me to collect the body?"

"Yan Yan, I saw Chen Yan Ran." Xu Lan Yi said quietly.

Mo Yan shivered, looked around the men's room, and asked mysteriously: "Is this nightclub haunted?"

"No, I saw a man who looks exactly like Chen Yan Ran." Although she could be sure that the person and Chen Yan Ran are not the same person, but there is still a glimmer of hope in her heart.

Mo Yan breathed a sigh of relief, tapping her head and said: "There are many people in the world who look alike, Chen Yan Ran died five years ago, the one you saw just now is either his father's illegitimate child, or God was distracted when creating people."

Xu Lan Yi shook her head, not saying anything more.

On the road, Mo Yan suddenly screamed: "You didn't let him bully you for free just because he looks like Chen Yan Ran, did you?"

"How could it be?" Xu Lan Yi took out a stack of money, which was thrown to her by Lu Chen Yu, she picked it up, because she really needed money.

"He's quite generous." Mo Yan pulled the corners of her mouth, if it wasn't for Xu Lan Yi swearing again and again that nothing happened, she would probably have taken the knife to chop the door now.

The next day, Xu Lan Yi appeared in black clothes at the cemetery, she put the flowers in front of the tomb, gently touching the photo on the tombstone. The boy in the photo is sunny and handsome, with a very bright smile.

This photo was still taken by Xu Lan Yi, because Chen Yan Ran doesn't like to take photos, so every time a friend wants to see her boyfriend, she has no photos to show others, which has been a long-standing regret.

But no matter how she coaxed, he just wouldn't take photos, and every time she secretly took photos, she could successfully avoid the lens.

Later, Xu Lan Yi was impatient, and kissed him in public on the avenue, he looked at her in a daze, she made a face at him, he couldn't help but laugh, laughing very happily.

So, there was this photo.

"Chen Yan Ran, I'm here to give you flowers again, big red roses, but you can't take them to give to other female ghosts, I will be angry."

Xu Lan Yi said to herself and laughed, then sat down and leaned against the tombstone, as if leaning in that person's arms, slowly narrating: "I met a man who looks very much like you last night, Yan Yan said he is your father's illegitimate child, but you said you look like your mother, right? Chen Yan Ran, I hope he is you, but I am afraid he is you, you are so smart, tell me what to do, okay?"

Xu Lan Yi leaned on the tombstone for a while, crying and laughing: "I know that's not you, I took him for you, you must be angry, right? Although you don't like to talk, but I can see, you are very petty. Clearly left five years ago, won't come back, right?"

The phone ring pulled Xu Lan Yi out of the trance, looking at the flashing hospital two words on the screen, her heart jumped, and she quickly answered: "Dr. Chen, hello."

"Your father's condition has suddenly worsened, and he needs surgery. Including the previous medical expenses owed, it is a total of 200,000 yuan. You come to the hospital to settle, otherwise we can't perform the surgery."

"Dr. Chen, can you give me a few days? Three days, I will definitely pay back the money in three days, okay?"

"Just three days, if it's delayed, I can't do it either."

"Thank you, Dr. Chen, thank you." Xu Lan Yi hung up the phone, tears uncontrollably gushed out.

She looked at the boy with a bright smile in the photo and said: "I know you don't like to see me cry, I'm leaving now."

All the way, Xu Lan Yi still didn't think of a way to raise 200,000 yuan, she has nothing now, only herself left.

Is it necessary to sell herself?

Xu Lan Yi suddenly looked up, she could sell herself. Right, in the eyes of others, she is such a woman, so what's the big deal about selling herself?

A pair of cold eyes suddenly appeared in Xu Lan Yi's mind, he was right, such a woman like her, naked in front of him, he would think it's dirty.

Having made up her mind, Xu Lan Yi took the bus to the bar, every step she seemed to be stepping on the tip of a knife, from the soles of her feet to the heart.

When she arrived at the nightclub, Xu Lan Yi explained her purpose to the manager, who hesitated and asked: "Does Dong Shao know about this?"

Xu Lan Yi shook her head: "He is in a situation that the manager should know, so it's better not to let him know."

The manager nodded, this woman was personally instructed by Dong Shao to take care of, but now Dong Shao's father was under investigation, and it seemed that the family was going to decline, but he couldn't add insult to injury at this time, in case he made a comeback one day, wouldn't he come to avenge himself?

"Manager, this is my own decision, even if Dong Cheng knew, he wouldn't blame you."

"I'll think about this, you go back first." The manager frowned and drove Xu Lan Yi out.

He sat in the chair for a while, then took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, his attitude immediately became humble: "Hello, hello, I am the manager of the night, you let me pay attention to Miss Jian last time? Just now she came to me and said she wants to auction her first night, what do you think about this matter..."

There was a silence on the other end, and a deep voice sounded: "Understood."
