Chapter 18 - Slinging mud

Lu Ling gave Bai Meiyue a look of pure loathing. If murder was allowed, he was certain he would have shot Bai Meiyue to death. Not only was she threatening and blackmailing him, she was doing so brazenly. 

He glared and glared hard at Bai Meiyue, wanting to scare her off, but Bai Meiyue wasn't offended by his glare. In a few days, the doomsday would arrive, and no one would have a good life. It was courtesy to show some leniency and respect to the dead. 

She let the man glare at her as much as he wanted. Anyway, no matter how much Lu Ling glared at her, he would still have to take out the compensation that she had demanded, and it wasn't as if she was going to lose a chunk of her flesh if he continued to glare at her. 

"Are you going to take the money out, CEO Lu?" Bai Meiyue asked with an innocent expression. "If you are not willing, then you can tell me; I will sell this information to the tabloids." 

"Fine!" Lu Ling could only grit his teeth and take out the money. Bai Meiyue, this woman better watch her back—one of these days, he was going to make her spit out every penny that she had taken from him. 

He picked up the phone's receiver and called the finance department before transferring the money to Bai Meiyue. 

Ding. 

Hearing the sweet chime of the money coming to her account, Bai Meiyue's cold eyes couldn't help but light up. With this sum of money, she would be able to buy enough resources for her son. 

"Bai Meiyue," She heard Lu Ling's greasy voice and couldn't help but frown in distaste. 

But since he gave her so much money, she decided to show him a little bit of respect,"What is it, CEO Lu?" she asked. 

"Nothing; I just want to remind you that now that you have taken the money from me, you better keep that mouth shut. If you dare to breathe even a single word about this, then I will not leave you alone," he spoke threateningly. 

Bai Meiyue curled her lips in a small sneer. This man was not going to leave her alone, even if she was to stay quiet. Lu Ling was a petty person; he would even retaliate for the smallest grievance that he had suffered. 

How could he withstand a loss as big as this? She lowered her head and curved her lips in a mocking and contemptuous sneer. If this man wanted to silence her, then he would have to first see if he could stand the consequences. 

"Don't worry, CEO Lu. I am good at keeping secrets," Bai Meiyue smiled at him before standing up and walking out of the office. 

But the second she stepped out, she heard the sound of something smashing onto the ground. 

Her lips curled up, and Bai Meiyue felt a bit satisfied. At least she took a little bit of interest for all those days when Lu Ling had her locked in the basement. 

Lost in her thoughts, Bai Meiyue thought of what to do next. She walked towards the elevator, but just as she approached it, the doors of the elevator opened with a click. 

"Bai Meiyue? You still have the cheek to come back?" Bai Meiyue's eyes turned cold as she looked at Chen Yuya. 

Ah, how did she forget this loyal lapdog of Bai Xue? 

Chen Yuya saw that Bai Meiyue was standing quietly, and her lips curled up in a haughty smirk. She said in a mean voice, "Sister Xue was correct. You really are shameless, and not only you are shameless, your brain is also filled with water. How can you file a complaint against your father and Sister Xue? You even had the police lock up Brother Hu. It was you who was shameless and couldn't resist the itch and went to look for a man; why blame others for your loose morals?" 

Her voice was deliberately loud, and everyone in the elevator who was with her heard it, as did the secretary and the assistants working on the topmost floor. 

Chen Yuya knew that she might not get the chance to embarrass and humiliate Bai Meiyue again. Thus, she took the opportunity that was presented to her. She raised her voice and yelled at the top of her lungs, wishing everyone, including the dog on the street, to know what this bitch had done. 

She turned to look at the boy group behind her, including the two actresses, and said to them, "That's right. Don't believe the nonsense that was posted on the internet by her. That's nothing but nonsense. She looks like she is really innocent, but that is certainly not the case. This slut slept with another man and then pushed the blame on Brother Su Hu and her father." 

"Only fools will believe that she is innocent. If you were to look up, you will find that this woman never returned to her apartment; if she was not hooking up with men, what else was she doing?"
