Tong Ming gritted his teeth and glared at me fiercely. I met his gaze without fear.
"Liu Qianqian, I'm going to take you down!" Tong Ming shouted as he lunged towards me. I dodged to the side and kicked him in the process.
That kick was fueled by all my strength. Tong Ming nearly fell to his knees from the impact.
"Liu Qianqian!"
I clapped my hands, ignoring him as I continued with my plan. I took out my phone, connected it to the screen, and started playing my PowerPoint presentation.
"Everyone probably doesn't know yet, but the person standing on stage today is none other than Boss Cao's boyfriend, who has been plotting against me."
"Oh?" The audience perked up with interest.
I continued with the presentation. "He, Tong Ming, moved into my house under the pretense of taking care of me after my mother passed away."
"He claimed to be an orphan with nowhere to stay, and feeling sorry for him, I let him live with me."
"But little did I know, he had ulterior motives."
I pointed at the PowerPoint slide, my voice firm. "He lives in the countryside and schemed to take over my house in order to marry someone."
"The whole family first sold off my furniture and appliances without permission, then they sold my car."
"Oh?"
The crowd below began to murmur among themselves.
"No way?"
"Is he really scheming against his ex-girlfriend's house?"
"What kind of person is this?"
"How shameless!"
Tong Ming wanted to defend himself, but I immediately presented the evidence.
"Everyone, take a look at this. These are my family's furniture; he sold it all to the second-hand market."
"And here are the chat records of him and his mother selling my things."
"Now look at his brother's social media; it's simply outrageous."
"He bought a luxury house and is flaunting it online, claiming it's theirs."
"Heh."
I let out a cold laugh.
"When did my house become theirs?"
Tong Ming's face turned pale with rage.
He glared at me as if he wanted to devour me whole.
Ignoring his gaze, I continued,
"What's even worse is that he illegally imprisoned me, locked me in an abandoned warehouse, and forced me to give him two million to transfer the house to his brother."
"What?"
The crowd gasped in shock.
"Oh my God, that's too much!"
"Yeah, is this even human?"
"Where are the police? Why haven't they arrested him yet?"
"Exactly! This kind of scum should be locked up!"
Tong Ming was in a panic.
He desperately tried to defend himself. “It’s not like that, it’s not like that!”
“What is it then?” Cao Yuan's Father asked.
I snorted dismissively. “You can see for yourself.”
I played the video that Lin Mingyuan had recorded on his phone.
In the video, Tong Ming was forcing me to sign a contract.
“Liu Qianqian, you better be sensible, or don’t blame me for being rude.”
“You have no idea how long I’ve planned for today.”
“Hahaha, just wait to be my brother’s bride!”
“When the time comes, our family will treat you well.”
“Hahahahaha…”
The audience was completely enraged.
“How can there be such a person?”
“This is too much!”
“Get him out of here!”
“Get lost!”
The shouts from the crowd rose and fell like waves.
Tong Ming was utterly panicked. He grabbed Cao Yuan's Father's arm and pleaded anxiously, “Uncle, please help me, please help me!”
“Xiao Yuan, you have to help me!”
Cao Yuan's Father shook off his hand.
"Get lost! I'm not doing charity!"
At that moment, the police walked in.
Tong Ming's face turned pale, and he collapsed onto the floor.
"It's over, all over..."
The police approached the stage and displayed their badges.
"Tong Ming, Lin Group has reported you for embezzlement, involving an amount of ten million yuan. Please come with us."
Tong Ming tried to run but was surrounded by bodyguards.
I smirked, feeling satisfied.
After Tong Ming was taken away, I reported him for misappropriation as well, along with his mother and brother.
In the end, Tong Ming was sentenced to fifteen years. His brother and mother received five-year sentences each.
Cao Yuan's Father, fearing that Lin Mingyuan would be displeased, insisted on returning Tong Ming's gift tripled in value.
My life finally returned to normalcy.
Every day I went to work, came home, had lunch with Lin Mingyuan, and shopped at the supermarket.
I realized I was gradually falling in love with him.
But he never mentioned marriage again.
I couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.
At the end of the month, an announcement was made in the company group about a dinner gathering that was voluntary to attend.
Without hesitation, I decided to join. After all, going home meant being alone and bored.
It wasn't until I arrived at the restaurant that I discovered...
Except for Lin Mingyuan, no one from the office showed up. I thought I had gone to the wrong place.
“Liu Qianqian.”
I turned around, but there was no one there. Did I mishear? I glanced at the address again. No mistake, it was indeed here.
I walked to the edge of the terrace, preparing to go down. Just then, a hand suddenly tapped my shoulder. I jumped in surprise.
“Lin Mingyuan, what are you doing?”
“Sorry for scaring you,” Lin Mingyuan apologized but didn’t answer my question.
“What’s going on? Where are the others?”
Lin Mingyuan remained silent and pulled out a ring box from his pocket.
“Liu Qianqian, would you give me a chance to spend the rest of my life with you?”
He knelt down, his eyes filled with hope. I looked at him, tears streaming down my face uncontrollably.
“I do.”
I extended my left hand. Lin Mingyuan carefully placed the ring on my finger and then hugged me tightly, his eyes slightly red.
“Thank you.”
