Chapter 135 - The Engagement Banquet II (2/2)

”I'm fine, really. Don't worry.” The dizziness in Jiang Ruolan's head was too severe. She only felt that everything in front of her was a bit blurry. ”Wait here for me. I'll go wash my face with cold water.”

”I'll go with you!”

”No, just wait for me here.”

Xiong Ruogang took Jiang Ruolan's handbag and helplessly looked at her back. As she looked at Jiang Ruolan's unsteady steps, the worry in her eyes became deeper.

Compared to the bustle in the dining hall, the washroom was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard. Jiang Ruolan barely managed to find the ladies room's direction, but when she walked in, she nearly fell down. She quickly stabilized her body, walked to the washstand, and looked up at herself in the mirror.

Her face had already turned frighteningly pale. Jiang Ruolan slapped her face hard and washed it with cold water.

When her face had dried up, she walked out. Just as she walked out of the washroom, a familiar figure walked out from the opposite door of the men's restroom.

The moment Jiang Ruolan saw Han Xuegang, she paused for a moment, then looked away expressionless.

She had just taken a step when her arm was grabbed by someone, ”What happened to you?”

Jiang Ruolan hurriedly tried to shake off his hand. ”Let go!”

”Why do you look pale?” Han Xuegang was obviously drinking a lot of wine as well. He immediately pulled Jiang Ruolan's arm and yanked her body to his chest.

Jiang Ruolan's steps were unsteady. She stumbled and crashed into him, then subconsciously leaned back against the marble wall outside the washroom. The cold wall behind her made her mind clear up a little, but she was powerless to push him away.

Han Xuegang raised his hand to touch her forehead, but Jiang Ruolan immediately turned her head, causing his hand to touch empty space.

Han Xuegang frowned, his eyes a little red from the alcohol, obviously angered by her resolute resistance.

Han Xuegang grabbed Jiang Ruolan's chin with one hand, turning her face to face him. ”Jiang Ruolan! Can you stop being like that?”

Jiang Ruolan looked at the man in front of her with a deadpan expression. She tried to struggle free, but she couldn't muster any strength. She could only gasp and mutter, ”Take your dirty hands away!”

”Don't you miss me? I delayed this engagement party for five whole weeks. I wanted to see you! I did this for you! You're the one who forced me into a corner! Jiang Ruolan, why can't you lower your head and understand my suffering? Who am I working so hard for that I want to reach the top? Isn't it all to get the Ling Family's property as soon as possible, and let you live a good life?!”

Jiang Ruolan only felt her vision darken, and she did not have the energy to say anything to him. She felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to turn her head away. Jiang Ruolan said in a weak and dispirited voice, ”Our relationship is over. Please let me go.”

”You!” Han Xuegang gritted his teeth in anger and suddenly tightened his grip on her chin. He took a small step forward and trapped her between the wall and his body, then bent down to kiss her.

”Han Xuegang! Scram!” Jiang Ruolan tried her best to push him away, but she couldn't budge him at all. Her legs went soft, and she could only let him hold her down.

Just as Jiang Ruolan was powerless to resist, a clear and cold voice suddenly resounded in her ears, ”Let her go.”
