CHAPTER 3
"Bolin, please. I did not do any of those."
"How can you deny that? Isn't it as plain as day that you were caught cheating? Who knows just how many other guys you sold yourself to just to get clients and now you want to ruin my reputation and hiding. You are a snake, Bai Rengxiang."
"Bolin, do not insult me because all these are fake. It was made up."
"Made up? Can you hear yourself? Okay, answer my questions, Renxiang." He unlocked his phone again and showed her the picture.
"Is the girl in this picture Bai Renxiang or not?"
She hesitated a bit, not ready to speak but who was she deceiving?
"Answer me!" he half yelled at her causing chills to run down her spine.
"Me."
"Good, now are you wearing your innerwear or what?"
"I am."
"Are you not half naked now, huh Bai Renxiang?"
"Yes."
"And you still say it is not you. Can you deny that you are a slut? Huh?"
"Bolin, how can you call me that?"
"Yes, that is what you are. Unfortunately for you, today you were caught and your secret opened for all. Who would want a trash like you?"
"Bolin, I am sorry. I promise you nothing happened. I know you are angry but please it does not give you the right to call me those names. It is I, Renxiang, your Ren-Ren."
He scoffed. Hearing her utter those words felt like bee buzz in his ears and it irritated him. "I do not want to be on the news tomorrow because of my relationship with a slut. You cannot bring me down with you. We are done, Bai Renxiang. I do not want to see you ro have anything to do with you, ever again."
"Bolin!"
Saying his mid, he turned around without a second thought and walked away from her.
"Fu Bolin, please wait. Do not leave me too. Bolin! Fu Bolin!"
No matter how she yelled, he refused to listen to her. He was done with her.
To think that his mother warned him about girls from the lower families who would do anything they could to climb up and get what they wanted.
He failed to listen to her, telling her that Bai Renxiang was not like that, that she was innocent and the lady of his dreams, she was different and all, but now what did he get?
Her attitude was a slap in his face. For good 3 years he did not touch her only to find out that she had been sleeping around.
'Mother was right all along. I should have known that being the heir of one of the top five richest companies in the country even pretenders like Bai Renxiang would do anything to marry me. Good riddance to bad rubbish.' Fu Bolin thought as he walked away.
***
After a while of crying herself alone, she finally found a little bit of strength and decided to call her friends in her father's company if there would be anyone ready enough to accommodate her for the time being.
"Let me call Feng Mei."
Taking her phone out, she called the said girl.
RING! RING!
It kept on ringing but she refused to pick up. She decided to call another person and got the same response, no reply.
"What is this? They should be off work by now, why are they not picking up?" Bai Renxiang questioned.
She tried calling another of her friends and after a while of not answering the call, her phone buzzed, indicating that she had an unread message.
Quickly she opened the message only for her to see…
"I am in a tight corner now, trying to sort out things in my life now. Bye."
Bai Renxiang blinked severally, she could barely believe what she just read.
"Okay, since she has her problem, I can try Feng Ping."
She called the lady too and it was by the second time she called that she picked up.
"Yes?"
"Feng Ping."
"Who is this?"
0_0
She pulled her phone away from her ear and then looked at the screen to be sure of who she was calling first and seeing that it was indeed Feng Ping, she placed it back.
"Feng Ping, it is I... Umm, Renxiang, Bai Renxiang."
For some seconds, the call went silent and Bai Renxiang began to wonder if she was speaking t the actual person or something had indeed gone wrong.
"Bye."
BEEP! BEEP!
"Feng Ping! What in… Okay, two more persons to go."
She tried her friend's nuber again but that one too did not pick up.
"Dai Kai. He won't fail me, maybe he would be able to link me up with his twin sis. Since she isn't answering her calls."
Just as she had predicted, he answered the call on first try.
"Dai Kai, thank goodness. I have been trying the girls line, can you get a hold of your twin for me?"
"Renxiang, I am sorry but I cannot do that."
"Why?"
"You know why," Dai Kai responded a bit hurriedly.
"No, I do not. How would I know if you do not tell me?"
"It is about your scandal. Your father has warned that no one be seen helping you whatsoever. And if anyone is seen liaising or contacting you, then they would be sacked. So nobody, no matter what you try, is willing to risk their work for you, girl. Even this call is risky. Now everyone is ready to betray anyone who does just to get the promised promotion your father stated."
"What the… How…"
"Please do not scream, I only told you so you do not expect help from us here."
"But I did not do it, Kai."
"I know but the press says otherwise and your family are against you, who then are we?"
"You are my friend, Kai. Every one of you."
"I am sorry but if I am sacked or thrown out, would you be able to pay me? Mind you we have siblings depending on us, Kira and I."
"But…"
"I need to go."
