Сhарtеr 22: Shocking News, Li Веixiaо Got into а Fight
“Yоu, уоu gо аheаd.”
Su Nuаnnuаn swаllowed hаrd. This was too intеnsе.
Hеr husbаnd wаs gоnе, and thеir mоuths wеre bloоdу. Thеy were рlaуing so wildly.
“Nuannuаn, what аre уоu doing herе?”
A familiar vоiсе сame frоm bеhind Su Nuаnnuаn. She turned tо loоk—quite a сrowd had gаthered.
“Аre you оkау! What’s gоing оn with them? How did thеy еvеn start fighting?”
She undеrstood thаt Li Bеiхiаo hаd a bad tеmper аnd might hit реople, but Bo Yunshen rarelу rеsorted to violеnсe. After аll, hе was Young Master Bo.
“I don’t know, Nuannuan. You should go back first. Things are a bit messy here.”
Du Lerou was afraid she would get into trouble. After all, these people were from the capital’s elite circles. Although she knew Su Nuannuan’s family background was decent, she didn’t want to involve her because of her own situation.
“It’s fine. Did they bully you?” Su Nuannuan looked Du Lerou up and down, relieved to find she was unharmed.
After Su Nuannuan arrived, Li Beixiao stopped fighting with Bo Yunshen and instead glared at Assistant Liu.
Assistant Liu felt truly wronged. He hadn’t invited Miss Su here, so why was he always the one caught in the crossfire?
Young Master He had provoked President Li and had already fled the country overnight. But it was said that President Li still sent people to beat him up, leaving Young Master He bedridden for at least ten days to half a month.
“Hmph! It’s all because of a femme fatale,” Lu Chen snorted coldly.
Lu Chen’s words carried hidden meaning. Upon closer consideration, they seemed directed at her! This guy was always sarcastic, but he never lied. It seemed this matter had something to do with her.
“Assistant Liu, could you explain to me what’s going on with your president?” Su Nuannuan looked at Assistant Liu very gently.
Assistant Liu’s expression changed. Wasn’t this putting subordinates like him in a difficult position? How could he dare say anything? President Li would surely kill him.
“Is it hard to answer?”
It really was hard to answer. Wait, though! Since when did Miss Su care so much about their president? Could it be she knew something?
Miss Su had never liked their president, but recently, she had been acting strangely. Could she be planning something bad?
“Miss Su, Big Brother and Third Brother were just fooling around. Sorry to have made you witness such a spectacle,” Gu Jinghuai stepped in to defuse the situation. What a good Second Brother he was.
Just as Su Nuannuan was about to say something, Du Lerou pulled her away. “Nuannuan, do you know them?”
“Yes.”
“And you and Lu…”
“I know him, but we’re not close.”
Du Lerou’s mood seemed off. She was so quick to distance herself—it seemed she was very afraid of Lu Chen.
“Nuannuan, aren’t you…”
She didn’t know about the others, but she knew Su Nuannuan was extremely afraid of Li Beixiao.
“They were just foolish things from our reckless youth,” Su Nuannuan knew what Du Lerou wanted to say. “Don’t talk about me. Do you know Lu Chen?”
“I’ll tell you another day. Why did you come here today?”
“Don’t even ask. It’s a long story! I originally came to find you for a drink.”
“Did someone bully you?”
“I’ll tell you another day.” If she had to explain now, she wouldn’t know how to put it! She didn’t know how severe the poison was, and her time might be running out. She had finally been reborn and returned…
“Ladies, don’t whisper over there. Why don’t you both come sit for a while?”
Gu Jinghuai was helpless. The two icy mountains were freezing everyone to death, and Big Brother’s ambiguous gaze wasn’t helping either.Su Nuannuan glanced at Lu Chen. With just one look, she could tell there was something between him and Rourou. Rourou wasn’t the type to be casual, and she seemed rather displeased with Lu Chen—something was definitely going on.
“Rourou! When it comes to men, we can’t go for this kind—the type who walks around with a sour face all day. We should find someone obedient. Nowadays, what’s popular are those fresh-faced young guys.” Su Nuannuan shot a pointed, ambiguous glance at Lu Chen.
I want to be your sister-in-law, yet you’re trying to hit on my best friend? That’s just not playing fair. And with that arrogant, swaggering attitude of his, he must have bullied Rourou.
Li Beixiao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Was she talking about him? It had been years since he last smiled.
While Li Beixiao was lost in thought, Su Nuannuan walked over to him and deliberately stepped on Bo Yunshen’s foot. That jerk dared to hit her man—he was asking for trouble.
“Ouch! Are you blind, woman?” Bo Yunshen gritted his teeth.
Su Nuannuan replied indifferently, “Sorry about that, Young Master Bo. I’m nearsighted.”
…
Gu Jinghuai curled the corner of his mouth. It seemed Third Brother still had a chance. After all, Miss Su seemed quite concerned about him, didn’t she?
Su Nuannuan took a wet wipe from her bag and gently wiped the blood from the corner of Li Beixiao’s mouth. Her movements were so light she didn’t even notice it herself. Du Lerou stared at her best friend in disbelief—was this really Su Nuannuan?
Not only Du Lerou, but even Li Beixiao himself was surprised. Had she really changed? The last few times she saw him, she hadn’t run away. Was she no longer afraid of him?
“President Li, you’re a grown man. Why are you still getting into fights like a child?” Su Nuannuan looked at Li Beixiao’s swollen mouth, her heart aching.
“I won’t do it again. Did I scare you?” Seeing Su Nuannuan’s pale face, Li Beixiao thought he had frightened her.
“No, I just didn’t get enough rest.”
After her nerve levels had spiked, her whole body felt weak and limp. Earlier, she had been worried about Du Lerou, but now that she relaxed, she felt exceptionally exhausted.
“I’ll take you back.” Li Beixiao picked up the suit jacket beside him.
When he took Su Nuannuan’s hand, he realized how unusually cold it was. Given the weather, it shouldn’t have been this cold.
“Your hand… Are you sick?” Li Beixiao touched her forehead.
Su Nuannuan shook her head and gently withdrew her hand.
“Nuannuan, here, have some water.” Du Lerou poured her a glass of warm water.
Su Nuannuan reached out to take it, but at the moment of exchange, the cup fell to the ground and shattered. If she hadn’t known Du Lerou for so many years, she would have suspected it was intentional.
Su Nuannuan looked at her hand. She hadn’t expected a cup of coffee to have such a severe effect. Wait, this was a bar, filled with smoke and haze—wasn’t that supposed to stimulate the nerves?
“Sorry, Rourou, I didn’t hold it steady. Since it was all a misunderstanding, let’s go back, Rourou. I have something to tell you.”
Su Nuannuan leaned almost her entire weight on Du Lerou. Lu Chen watched as Su Nuannuan held onto Du Lerou, feeling extremely displeased.
Du Lerou frowned. Something wasn’t right with her. “I’ll go get the car. You wait here for a bit.”
Su Nuannuan nodded. Du Lerou quickly ran toward the parking lot. Li Beixiao stared blankly at the broken glass on the floor.
“If you’re not feeling well, I’ll take you to the hospital.” Li Beixiao extended his hand toward her.
“I’m fine, President Li. It’s late, you should go back and rest.” Su Nuannuan brushed him off.
“If you’re unwell, you can’t ignore it.” Li Beixiao didn’t care if she disliked him—he was afraid something might happen to her.”I’m really fine, it’s just that my monthly cycle has come, and my stomach hurts a bit.” Su Nuannuan’s voice was so soft that only Li Beixiao could hear it.
Sorry, Li Beixiao, I lied to you. I can’t let him worry.
Li Beixiao’s expression was extremely unnatural. He had thought she was unwell, but he hadn’t expected it to be this kind of discomfort.
“Here, put on the jacket. Don’t catch a cold,” Li Beixiao said awkwardly.
Su Nuannuan put on the suit jacket and looked at Li Beixiao’s flushed face. He’s being all innocent now, but he wasn’t like that the other day.
