Chapter 219: Worse Than a Beast!

Yang Luo said, “Perhaps it’s because Assistant Xu’s money is used to support the family.”

Su Qingmei nodded and felt that what Yang Luo said made sense.

After parking the car, Yang Luo and the other two arrived at the entrance of a building.

This building only had eight floors, so there was no elevator.

Yang Luo and the other two climbed the stairs to Room 703 on the seventh floor.

However, just as they reached the door, Yang Luo and the other two were stunned.

The door was painted red with the words “O$P$” written on it.

Su Qingmei said in surprise, “Could it be that Xu Yan owes someone money and hasn’t returned it?”

Yang Luo also frowned slightly.

Previously, when Xu Yan borrowed money from him, he had felt very strange.

After all, with Xu Yan’s salary, it was more than enough to support herself.

But why did she still owe people money?

Yang Luo said, “Let’s ask Assistant Xu later.”

Su Qingmei nodded and knocked on the door.

However, after knocking for a long time, there was no response.

“Could something have happened?”

Su Qingmei’s face was filled with worry. She knocked on the door and shouted, “Xu Yan, it’s me. Open the door quickly!”

After a while…

Footsteps came from inside.

The door opened and Xu Yan’s figure appeared in front of Yang Luo and the other two.

The moment they saw Xu Yan, Yang Luo and the other two were stunned.

If not for the fact that they were very familiar with Xu Yan, they would not have recognized her.

Xu Yan was wearing pajamas. Her hair was messy, her lips were dry, and her face and body were covered in bruises. She was completely different from before.

Previously, Xu Yan was energetic and capable, but now, she no longer looked like a human.

Xu Yan lowered her head slightly and asked weakly, “President Su, Assistant Yang, Prajna, why are you here?”

“Xu Yan, what’s wrong with you?!”

“Sister Xu Yan, why are you like this? Who hit you?”

Su Qingmei and Prajna did not answer this question. Instead, they asked at the same time.

“No, nothing.”

Xu Yan avoided his gaze and replied, “Please come in.”

Yang Luo and the other two nodded and walked in.

The house was in a mess. Everything had been broken, and there was blood on the ground.

After Xu Yan closed the door, she said, “I’m really sorry. The house is a little messy and 1 didn’t have time to tidy it up.

Take a seat. I’ll get you some water.”

As she spoke, Xu Yan limped and prepared to pour water.

“Xu Yan, what happened to your leg?”

Su Qingmei asked anxiously.

All these years, Xu Yan had helped her share a lot of pressure. Moreover, when she was disappointed, Xu Yan had always encouraged her.

Therefore, to her, Xu Yan was both her assistant and her friend.

Now that she saw Xu Yan like this, she was very worried.

Xu Yan forced a smile and said, “I just fell. I’m fine.”

“You’re already in such a state, how can you be fine?

Alright, stop pouring water. Sit down and talk to us properly.”

Su Qingmei quickly went forward and helped Xu Yan sit on the sofa.

Xu Yan shook her head and pretended to be strong, “President Su, thank you for coming to see me. I’m really fine.

After I rest for a few days, I can go back to work.”

“You’re already in this state, yet you’re still saying that you’re fine!”

Su Qingmei’s eyes turned red, “Xu Yan, in my heart, you’re not only my employee, but also my friend.

If you think of me as a friend, tell me what happened.”

Yang Luo also said, “Assistant Xu, aren’t we friends?

Tell me about it and see if we can help you.”

Prajna was very anxious, “Sister Xu Yan, tell us quickly. I’m already so anxious!”

Sensing the concern of Su Qingmei and the other two, Xu Yan could no longer hold on. She cried bitterly, and her tears flowed uncontrollably.

Hearing Xu Yan’s cries, Yang Luo, Su Qingmei, and Prajna felt as if their hearts were being pricked by needles. They felt very uncomfortable.

Su Qingmei hugged Xu Yan tightly and comforted her, “Alright, alright, don’t cry. If you have any difficulties, you can tell us.”

Prajna also hugged Xu Yan and helped her wipe her tears, “Sister Xu Yan, don’t cry. It won’t look good if your face is ruined from crying.”

Hearing their comforting words, Xu Yan cried even louder, as if she wanted to vent all her grievances.

Su Qingmei and the other two didn’t say anything else and waited quietly for Xu Yan.

Xu Yan must be hiding something in her heart and needed to vent it.

After crying for a while, Xu Yan gradually stopped.

She said in a hoarse voice, “My injuries were all caused by my ex-boyfriend…”

“What?!”

Su Qingmei’s expression changed as she exclaimed, “Your ex-boyfriend hit you?!”

“That’s right.”

Xu Yan nodded and continued, “Three years ago, I met my ex-boyfriend. When 1 first met him, he was sunny, optimistic, and motivated. He was also very good to me.

We have already planned to work hard to pay a down payment in Jiang City for a few years, buy a house, and get married.

However, the good times did not last long. Ever since he met a group of scoundrels a year ago, he had changed completely.

He started staying out late at night. He liked to drink and even became addicted to gambling. He gambled all his savings and even asked me for money to gamble. If 1 didn’t give it to him, he would hit me.

After he had spent all my savings, he also took out a loan from a loan shark.

After that, I really couldn’t take it anymore and broke up with him.

1 thought that everything would be fine after breaking up, but who knew that he would come to look for me every once in a while after breaking up?

Every time he came to me, he would ask for money. As long as I didn’t give it to him, he would attack.

“Moreover, those loan sharks couldn’t find him and came to me to ask for money instead. I’m about to go crazy from the torture…”

Hearing Xu Yan’s explanation, Yang Luo and the other two finally understood what was going on.

Yang Luo’s eyes flickered coldly as he said in a deep voice, “Your ex-boyfriend is really a beast!”

“He’s worse than a beast!”

Prajna added hatefully.

“Then why didn’t you call the police?”

Su Qingmei asked.

Xu Yan said bitterly, “Of course 1 called the police, but it was useless.

He knew people in society and had connections in the police department, so I could not settle things every time.

“Besides, as long as I call the police, he will beat me up even more.”

“Damn bastard!”

Prajna stood up and said coldly, “Sister Xu Yan, where is this beast? 1’11 kill him!”

The anger in Yang Luo’s heart surged.

He tried his best to suppress it and said, “Prajna, don’t be anxious. After I treat

Assistant Xu’s injuries, we’ll settle the score with that beast.”

“Alright!”

Prajna nodded in agreement.

Xu Yan looked at Yang Luo and the other two with tears in her eyes, “You guys want to help me?”

“Of course we have to help!”

Su Qingmei nodded and said, “You have to punish this beast severely.

Otherwise, this beast will keep pestering you!”

Xu Yan said worriedly, “But he knows people in society. I’m afraid you’ll be in trouble if you help me.”

Su Qingmei scoffed, “Don’t worry, Xu Yan. We won’t be in any trouble..”
