The Devil who devoured Snow White

Chapter 275 - Why Don't You Apologize To Her?

Tian Ruyi was quiet most of the time, especially when she recalled those days. It was not like Ma Jiaolong was her first love but it was… almost like that. She wanted to focus on her studies that were why she rejected him even if she liked him back.

Soon enough, Chu Huani used Tian Ruyi to write love letters to Ma Jiaolong just so she could make him fall for her. At first, it was hard for Tian Ruyi but when they started exchanging letters, she began to know more about the guy.

Who would have thought that they would end up together because of something she did? She was most likely the reason why Ma Jiaolong ended up falling for Chu Huani.

It was not like Tian Ruyi was regretting her decision to reject Ma Jiaolong. She didn't have feelings for him at all. It was just… she couldn't forget how Chu Huani mistreated her. She couldn't understand why they were still in a relationship after all these years. She thought that maybe, one day, Ma Jiaolong would find out the truth about his fiance's real personality.

.

Tian Ruyi mostly ignored the couple and instead, she went and joined another group before she excused herself and went to the women's restroom.

When she got out, she was startled to see Ma Jiaolong, leaning against the wall as if he was waiting for someone.

Tian Ruyi decided to ignore him by acting like she never saw him. As she was about to walk past him, he grabbed her hand.

She halted.

He straightened his back and gazed at her with a glum look in his eyes. "Tian Ruyi."

"Don't you think it's rather inappropriate for a man to stand in front of a woman's restroom?" She raised a brow. She tried her best to remain calm in his presence despite how cramped she was inside.

"Can I have a moment with you then?" He asked as he kept holding her wrist.

Tian Ruyi sighed. "Mr. Ma, I don't think your fiance will like it if she saw us together."

The side of his lips stretched into a thin line. He was hesitant for a few seconds before he finally released her wrist. 

She looked at him for a moment. He was once her friend but things didn't end well for them that was why she couldn't befriend him again. It was better to avoid him before she got into trouble. 

Tian Ruyi left the hallway and went back to the banquet hall. It was a good thing that Chu Huani wasn't targeting her since her attention was occupied by the other crew members as they chatted with her.

At the end of the dinner, she waited for her ride outside of the hotel with the other crew.

"Xiao Ru, do you want us to give you a ride?" Chu Huani invited as she stood beside her with Ma Jiaolong at her side.

"Thanks for the offer but my ride is already on its way," she said, politely declining her offer.

Chu Huani snarled. She crossed her arms and raised a brow. "Did I ever allow you to turn down my offer?"

Since they were away from the other crew, Huani didn't hold back from showing her true colors to the woman in front of her. 

Tian Ruyi eyed Ma Jiaolong before she returned her gaze to Chu Huani. Did she think that she was the same quiet student who allowed her to step on her? She scoffed at the thought. Tian Ruyi had long changed. She was not the same wimpy girl who would tolerate others to belittle her.

"Do you remember how I asked for your opinion? I don't think so." She scoffed.

Chu Huani's face went black. She never thought that Tian Ruyi would retort. "Y-you… have you gone stupid?" She gnashed her teeth as she glared at her. "You're talking like an idiot." 

"Of course, I talk like an idiot. How else could you understand me?" She rolled her eyes at her.

Chu Huani was already on the verge of losing her temper until Ma Jiaolong finally stepped in. "Just leave her be, Xiao Hua."

"Leave her be?" She looked at her fiance in disbelief. "I want her gone from the movie, Jiaolong. Remove her from the cast."

Tian Ruyi became frenzied when she heard what Chu Huani had said. Since Ma Jiaolong was one of the big sponsors of the movie, he had the right to take her off the list of cast.

"That's too much." Ma Jiaolong sighed.

"But Jiaolong, she just insulted me! I haven't done anything to her!" She put on a pitiful face.

Because of her, the other crew turned their way, wondering what was happening. Not only the crew but also the nearby people that were waiting for their rides.

Tian Ruyi pursed her lips as she was suddenly placed in a difficult position. She should just have avoided her instead of confronting her.

"How about we do it like this? Tian Ruyi, why don't you apologize to her?" Ma Jiaolong suggested to her so that his fiance won't make the matter grow big.

Chu Huani inwardly smirked. She wanted to humiliate the woman before her by all means. She continued to put on an act as if she had been wronged by her.

Apologize? Why should she apologize when she has done nothing wrong? Tian Ruyi thought as she dug her nails in her palm out of frustration. How did she turn out to be the bad guy?

Just when Tian Ruyi thought that she couldn't escape the situation, a Mercedes-Maybach stopped right at the entrance of the hotel. 

The latest top-level S-Class was coated in luxury, with a world-class interior and a classic two-tone exterior with plenty of chrome.

The car door opened and a man stepped out. He went and opened the back door of the car, much to the delight of the crowd gathered at the hotel's entryway.

When she watched the second man exit the car, her eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. "S-Si Hongqi?" She muttered under her breath.
