Chapter 112 A Heart Smaller Than a Needle Eye
Chapter 112 A Heart Smaller Than a Needle Eye
The rest of the An family members, except Pei Yuning: Dogs, bastards? An Rui?
They looked at An Ling in shock, just as Pei Yuning had when she first heard it; they couldn't believe that An Ling would call her brother a dog in her heart.
Then they saw Anling's previously agitated expression suddenly turn into shock and anger.
Without saying a word, she sprang up from her seat, opened the door, and rushed out.
They had no idea what was wrong with An Ling, and stared at each other blankly as she suddenly echoed in their minds with her angry inner voice.
[Anrui, you bastard, you're asking for it!]
You could tell from An Ling's tone that she was extremely angry.
Hearing her scold An Rui like that, everyone else was slightly stunned for a moment, but An Chong was the first to realize something was wrong and ran towards the door:
"Follow Xiaoling!"
An's parents and An Jun also realized what was happening and quickly got up and ran out.
Fortunately, An Chong reacted quickly. When he ran out the door, he only saw An Ling's back as she turned the corner. A few seconds later, he probably wouldn't have known where she would have run off to.
He was faster than An Ling, but he was still some distance behind her and couldn't catch up with her anytime soon. He could only call out after closing the distance between them as much as possible:
"Xiaoling? What's wrong? Where are you going?"
But An Ling didn't reply at all, and kept walking hurriedly, as if she was afraid of missing something. She was clearly panting but kept running.
An Ling refused to stop or speak, so the An family could only follow her with their doubts.
They followed Anling across the corridor to another building. This building looked quieter and there was no one else around, probably because no one was using it at night.
What is she doing here?
But An Ling still didn't stop, and the An family could only suppress their doubts and continue to follow her up two more flights of stairs, finally finding that An Ling had stopped at the entrance of the men's restroom on this floor?
Before they could catch their breath, An Ling kicked open the door to the men's restroom and rushed in.
There were five men inside. One of them was sitting on the ground clutching his stomach, his hair was messy, and he looked rather disheveled.
The other four people stood around him in front of him, and the one in the lead was An Rui.
His face was originally full of disgust and contempt, but he was startled by the person who suddenly broke down the door.
He turned his head sharply and saw An Ling standing at the door with an angry expression.
Before he could react, An Ling had already rushed over and delivered a flying kick to his stomach.
"what!"
An Rui cried out in pain and bent over. He was kicked so hard that he staggered back two steps, slipped, and then crashed into a cubicle door and fell inside.
He was in excruciating pain in his stomach and tailbone, and he curled up, clutching his stomach in agony, but his eyes were filled with fierce anger as he glared at the culprit.
"An Ling, what are you doing!"
An Ling did not stop there; she continued walking towards the next room.
The other three men standing there were also stunned by what they saw.
After recognizing An Ling, none of them dared to step forward to stop her. They could only watch in horror as she angrily passed by them, then grabbed An Rui by the hair and dragged him out of the cubicle.
"Aaaaaah, Anling, let go of me! Are you crazy? What are you trying to do?!"
An Rui wanted to resist, but he was in too much pain and his hair was being grabbed, so he couldn't muster any strength.
"What do I want to do?" An Ling dragged An Rui in front of the person sitting on the ground. "I'd like to ask you what you want to do? Are you here to be an idol or to bully your teammates?"
The person sitting on the ground was Shen Luo.
Anyone who opens the door to this men's restroom and sees the scene inside can tell that the four people, led by An Rui, are bullying Shen Luo.
Moreover, An Ling had read the original novel and knew that An Rui had been bullying Shen Luo while they were teammates.
[I thought An Rui started bullying Shen Luo because she was upset about not being able to debut as the center, but I didn't expect it had already started during the filming of the show.]
If she hadn't gotten impatient and checked what An Rui was doing, she wouldn't have known that he dared to hit someone on the day his parents came to watch his match.
That makes sense, though, since this building wasn't even open to the production team.
He was certain that no one else would come here at this time, let alone be discovered by the An family, which is why he acted so recklessly.
[It's clear that just reading the original story is too limiting; the bullying actually started during the filming of the show.]
[Is it because Shen Luo is more capable and more popular than him, and doesn't treat him with the same deference as others?]
[Someone with a heart smaller than the eye of a pin!]
"Speak!" An Ling kicked An Rui again. "What exactly did you do to Shen Luo! Apologize to him!"
"Pah! You're dreaming!" An Rui spat on the ground. "What right do you have to tell me what to do? Do you think you're still my sister? You imposter, you dare to hit me? I'm going to tell Mom and Dad to kick you out!"
"Who are you going to kick out?" A dignified and angry voice suddenly rang out.
An Rui shuddered the moment he heard that voice.
He turned his head in disbelief toward the door and saw An Shuhai with a furrowed brow, eyes full of anger, and facial muscles taut, clearly trying his best to control his rage.
"Dad?" An Rui finally felt a sliver of fear.
He didn't dare look into An Shuhai's eyes. His gaze drifted to the back of An Shuhai, where he saw that there were other people standing there.
"Mom? Eldest brother? Second brother?" An Rui's mind went blank, and his voice trembled slightly. "Weren't you in the lounge? Why are you here?"
"If we hadn't come, how would we have known about all the good things you've done?" An Shuhai strode in, his imposing aura causing An Rui's accomplices to shrink into the corner of the restroom, afraid of being affected by his anger.
They were just lackeys trying to curry favor with Young Master An, how unlucky they were to be discovered by Young Master An's family!
However, they still had a sliver of hope in their hearts. After all, An Rui was the one who started it, and even if the matter was exposed, An Rui would definitely be the one most affected. The An family certainly wouldn't want their child's negative image to be known by others, right?
Perhaps President An is only a little angry now, and doesn't actually want to make this a big deal.
“No, no, Dad,” An Rui said, though he was scared, he still had to find a way to argue. “We’re all teammates, it’s just a little bit of playful fighting, it’s no big deal, don’t make it so serious.”
“If you don’t believe me, ask Shen Luo!” An Rui quickly turned to Shen Luo and asked, “Aren’t you right? We were just joking.”
Shen Luo had already been helped up by Pei Yuning, who had quickly walked over.
When Pei Yuning first saw Shen Luo sitting on the ground, she felt a pang in her heart and an indescribable heartache.
So as soon as she came in, she went to Shen Luo's side and asked him softly, "Are you alright? Is anything hurting? Can you still stand up?"
Shen Luo didn't reply, but just nodded, and then stood up with Pei Yuning's help.
After hearing An Rui's question, he glanced at the people around him, then looked at An Ling, and finally spoke calmly.
"Yes, we were just kidding."
