Gu Kaicheng’s eyes were vicious. In their circle, Bai Shusu was the most arrogant one. No matter how he had tried to pursue her before, she had always ignored him. The more unattainable something was, the more he wanted a taste of it…
It seemed like alcohol had gone to his head—
“Bai Shusu, what are you pretending to be some pure and chaste lady for? Acting all high and mighty while clinging to Qin Jindu—behind the scenes, you’ve probably already been used and tossed around by others…”
Slap!
Yu Yi struck him with ruthless force. After spending the past few days together, she had genuinely grown fond of this Eldest Miss. She hated people who spoke such filth the most.
Gu Kaicheng had also drunk a lot. Normally, only people trying to curry favor with him would stay around him. Those with any sense had already left, and even Xu Wei had been helped away while drunk…
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t dare provoke Bai Shusu. But after being flattered by others while drunk, he had started believing that her indifference was just her playing hard to get.
Now that he had felt powerful, Gu Kaicheng ground his teeth, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
“Tonight, whoever gets her onto my bed—I’ll fund your business!”
Some people started to get restless.
Yu Yi hadn’t expected Gu Kaicheng to be so eager to die. Those people didn’t even know who they were dealing with; they only cared about the funding.
One after another, they rushed forward. Bai Shusu leaned against the wall, only feeling the surroundings grow noisy—completely unaware of the danger approaching…
Yu Yi stood in front of her, shielding her.
Yu Yi retreated into the corner, and none of the attackers could get close. She took them down one by one, effortlessly, like she was playing.
“So noisy…” Bai Shusu blinked sleepily. She saw Yu Yi in front of her… um… “fighting monsters.” She just leaned against the wall with Lu Xiaoxiao, completely checked out.
The people who were knocked back began to feel fear. The places they were hit felt like their bones had shattered.
Seeing that so many of them couldn’t even touch a single hair on her, Gu Kaicheng shouted in rage, “Useless! So many of you can’t even beat one woman!”
Yu Yi shook her head mockingly. These people weren’t even as strong as the weak trainees back at the base. She hadn’t even warmed up yet.
“Quite lively here.”
A handsome man walked out, followed by a group of people. He had just started his evening when he heard someone causing trouble in his venue.
When he stepped out, he saw Bai Shusu.
Yu Yi nodded slightly. “Young Master Zhong.”
Zhong Jichen nodded in return. He looked at the two drunk women leaning against the wall, and the pile of people lying on the ground, and immediately understood what had happened.
He glanced at Gu Kaicheng’s furious face. This guy had caused trouble here more than once before. Normally, he had tolerated it because of the Gu family’s connection with his own family.
But today, he had just so happened to offend someone he shouldn’t have.
Perfect—new and old accounts could be settled together. It would also give him a chance to carve out some territory from Ah Du.
He had been eyeing the northern and southern land plots for a long time.
“Take them and leave first,” he said.
Yu Yi understood and nodded.
She helped Bai Shusu up onto her shoulder. As for Lu Xiaoxiao, no matter how drunk she was, she refused to leave, hugging the door and making a scene.
Yu Yi hesitated, not wanting to use force since she was Miss Bai’s friend.
Seeing this, Zhong Jichen sighed and waved his hand. “You go first.”
Yu Yi left with Bai Shusu.
Gu Kaicheng, seeing who had arrived, assumed Zhong Jichen wouldn’t dare touch him.
“Jichen, you can’t just let them leave like this…”
“Especially that woman just now—she injured a lot of my guys…”
Zhong Jichen sneered. Yu Yi was Qin Jindu’s trusted aide. She didn’t fear anyone. If not for the concern of causing trouble for Bai Shusu, those people would already have been dead.
Zhong Jichen shoved his hands into his pockets and turned away, ignoring him. He gestured casually and carried the noisy Lu Xiaoxiao out as well.
Gu Kaicheng tried to chase after them, but he was immediately surrounded and punched. Fists rained down on him, and he screamed in pain.
“Damn it! Zhong Jichen! Aren’t you afraid the Gu family will come after you?!”
Afraid?
By tomorrow, the Gu family might not even exist.
Whether Gu Kaicheng survived would depend on that person’s mood.
Besides, the Bai family was not easy to offend either. Brother, you were on your own.
Lu Xiaoxiao was extremely difficult when drunk.
Zhong Jichen hadn’t expected that the seemingly proper girl during the day would, after drinking, try to grope his chest muscles.
Lu Xiaoxiao reached out her hands with a mischievous grin. “Handsome guy, are you there? Let me see your chest muscles…”
She lunged forward.
Zhong Jichen blocked her desperately, defending his innocence.
“You… don’t come any closer!”
He was the young master of the Zhong family, yet he was being tormented by a woman like this.
“Aren’t you underdeveloped or something?” Lu Xiaoxiao looked him up and down in disgust, delivering a blow to his pride.
“Lu Xiaoxiao!”
“Getting embarrassed?” she teased, tugging on his clothes.
“Shut up!”
“Did I break you?” she added calmly.
“……”
“Speechless now?”
He grabbed his head in frustration. Who was going to stop this woman?
After a long struggle, Zhong Jichen tied her hands with his tie. She was still smiling, thinking they were playing some kind of cosplay game.
…
Eventually, the car finally quieted down. Zhong Jichen finally got a moment of peace.
He reported tonight’s events to Qin Jindu—
【Thanks.】
Zhong Jichen immediately replied: 【About that northern-southern land…】
【I’ll send someone to finalize the handover.】
He was delighted, even looking at Lu Xiaoxiao more favorably now.
He nudged the drunken girl beside him.
“Hey, where do you live?”
She sat completely still, silent as if dead, her mouth slightly open…
Like a goldfish blowing bubbles.
Kind of cute.
Zhong Jichen froze for a moment, as if possessed, and reached out to touch her flushed cheek…
“…yue!”
She immediately threw up all over him.
Zhong Jichen’s vision went black.
“LU XIAOXIAO!”
This time, he truly broke down completely!!!
