Chapter 108 Look at me, don't be afraid
While Zhu Ziqing was struggling with Ma Dongmei, her mind was racing.
She was slender, but surprisingly strong.
Seize the opportunity and take advantage of his height, which is slightly taller than Ma Dongmei.
And the sharp heels of her high heels stomped hard on Ma Dongmei's feet.
Meanwhile, taking advantage of the moment when Ma Dongmei was in pain and trying to avoid him, he observed her every move.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Ziqing used all her strength.
Taking advantage of Ma Dongmei's stumble, they pushed her off the stage.
During the scuffle, Ma Dongmei instinctively reached out and grabbed Zhu Ziqing's hair tightly.
Well, that's it, the two of them fell off the stage together.
Fortunately, the floor of this multi-functional hall was covered with a thick carpet.
After falling, the two were a bit disheveled but not injured.
Ma Dongmei scrambled to her feet, her eyes flashing with a crazed light.
She shouted at the top of her lungs, "Everyone, come and see! This Zhu Ziqing is a shameless mistress! She seduced her own brother-in-law before, and now she's trying to seduce the president of Feiyang Technology. Don't you all think she's utterly disgraceful?"
As she shouted, she pointed at Zhu Ziqing with her finger, looking as if she wanted to devour Zhu Ziqing alive.
Under her influence, Liu Shiyan also fanned the flames from the sidelines, occasionally echoing her words, and the crowd's emotions were gradually stirred up.
In an instant, the crowd began to stir, and all sorts of vulgar insults rose and fell.
"Shameless vixen!"
"This kind of person should get out of the company!"
Zhu Ziqing stood alone in the middle of the crowd, like a lone boat in a storm, isolated and helpless.
She could only grit her teeth and stand alone offstage, silently enduring it all.
Tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
Zhu Ziqing twisted her left ankle when she fell.
She tried to stand up, but as soon as she exerted force, a piercing pain shot through her ankle.
It took several attempts before I could barely stand up.
At this moment, she could only put all her weight on her right foot.
Every step she took caused her to wince in pain, making movement extremely difficult.
Looking at the chaotic scene before her, Zhu Ziqing's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to three years ago.
At that time, she also encountered similar difficulties, being misunderstood, insulted, and isolated.
Today, history seems to be repeating itself.
She was filled with helplessness and despair.
She could only watch helplessly as the crowd hurled insults at her, powerless to respond.
Zhu Ziqing felt that the scene in front of her was becoming increasingly blurry.
The surrounding noise seemed to be blocked by a thick barrier, gradually becoming unclear.
Her palms were covered in cold sweat, and her heart was pounding violently in her chest, as if it were about to burst out of her chest.
Despite feeling as tense as a taut string, ready to snap at any moment.
But she gritted her teeth and tried her best to maintain her composure, determined not to show any weakness in front of these people.
Just then, a deep and magnetic voice came from inside.
Like a thunderclap from a clear sky, it exploded in everyone's ears: "What are you all doing!"
Everyone instinctively looked in the direction of the sound and saw Tan Haoyu walking over with elegant steps.
Liu Meili and Yang Piaoliang followed on either side of him.
This spectacle instantly made the already complex plot even more unpredictable.
Zhu Ziqing trembled slightly upon hearing that familiar voice.
She hurriedly raised her hand to tidy her slightly disheveled appearance, trying to retain the last bit of dignity in front of Tan Haoyu.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Ma Dongmei and Liu Shiyan quickly exchange a glance.
There was a hint of expectation in her eyes, as if she was looking forward to Tan Haoyu's arrival.
This could escalate the conflict further, allowing them to reap the benefits.
Tan Haoyu was dressed in a dark gray custom-made suit, which made him look tall, straight and imposing.
His face was calm as still water, and his deep eyes revealed an unfathomable light.
Every step was taken with elegance and composure, as if they radiated light.
Wherever they went, people automatically made way for them.
Everyone's eyes were drawn to him as if by a magnet, following his every move.
From the moment he stepped into this place of conflict, his gaze was fixed firmly on Zhu Ziqing.
Zhu Ziqing's feigned composure, and the barely concealed tension and pain in her eyes, did not escape his notice.
He could truly feel the torment Zhu Ziqing was going through at that moment.
While feeling sorry for her, all I wanted to do was immediately shield her behind me and comfort her.
Zhu Ziqing lowered her head, not daring to look Tan Haoyu in the eye.
She was afraid, afraid of seeing even the slightest hint of contempt in his eyes.
She was afraid to hear those harsh words from his mouth, words that would shatter her heart completely.
That would plunge her already uneasy heart into utter ruin.
Tan Haoyu approached Zhu Ziqing step by step.
With each step closer, Zhu Ziqing's heart pounded faster and faster, and a surge of tension overwhelmed her completely.
She gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, trying desperately to maintain her composure.
But only she knew that her heart was trembling uncontrollably.
Just as everyone held their breath and watched nervously.
Tan Haoyu finally walked up to Zhu Ziqing.
He slightly raised his hand and gently stroked Zhu Ziqing's pale face.
His fingers gently caressed her, as if touching the most precious woman in his life.
Immediately afterwards, he leaned down slightly and placed a kiss on Zhu Ziqing's forehead, a gentle and affectionate gesture.
Then, in a deep and firm voice, he said, "Look at me, don't be afraid."
In that instant, it was as if a silencing spell had been cast, and all sounds vanished without a trace.
All eyes were immediately focused on Tan Haoyu and Zhu Ziqing.
Colleagues stared wide-eyed, their eyes a mixture of curiosity, shock, and speculation.
They whispered among themselves.
The atmosphere was so tense it was suffocating, yet so exciting it was impossible to look away.
It was as if a grand drama was reaching its climax, and everyone was looking forward to what would happen next.
Inside the restaurant, the atmosphere was like a powder keg ready to explode at any moment.
The eyes of their colleagues were fixed on Zhu Ziqing and Tan Haoyu like spotlights.
They whispered among themselves, filled with curiosity and speculation about Zhu Ziqing's current situation.
"Just who is this Zhu Ziqing? How did President Tan treat her..."
"Yes, I haven't noticed anything unusual on ordinary days, but today's incident is really strange."
Just as everyone was discussing this, Ma Dongmei's eyes darted around, and a sinister glint flashed across her face.
She suddenly pointed her finger directly at the big screen and shouted at the top of her lungs, "President Tan, can you see this clearly? This is Zhu Ziqing's past. If you knew what she had done, you would definitely be disgusted!"
Her tone suggested she possessed the most extraordinary secret in the world, capable of plunging Zhu Ziqing into utter ruin.
