Around eleven, Mr. Shen, concerned about his wife, decided to go home.
Everyone had noticed from his frequent phone calls that he was worried about his wife. So, they didnât stop him and let him go!
The man of the hour left, but both Han Shaojing and Tu Yanming, who were accustomed to a nightlife, wouldnât leave this early!
Lu Yinchu intended to take Nanxi home, but Nanxi was being stubborn, insisting on waiting a bit longer as Yang Su might return soon!
Seeing Nanxiâs stubbornness, Lu Yinchu didnât stop her and let her be!
Nanxi tried calling Yang Su again, but there was still no answer.
Furrowing her eyebrows, she felt anxious. Yet Lu Yinchu seemed indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with him!
Gritting her teeth, Nanxi said angrily, âLu Yinchu, are all you men this irresponsible?â
Lu Yinchu frowned, âOf course not!â
âWell then, if ⦠if Mr. Chang did something inappropriate to SuSu, would he take responsibility for it?â
âWell, I think, he probably would!â
âWhat do you mean âprobablyâ!â Nanxi seemed to panic, âThatâs why I say all men are irresponsible, good girls are ruined by you men who think youâre all that!â
Lu Yinchu felt unfairly blamed. He wondered where he had shown any irresponsibility.
âNo way, Lu Yinchu, I have to find SuSu, maybe thereâs still timeâ¦â
She was about to stand up when Lu Yinchu grabbed her, âItâs been two hours already, whatever was going to happen would have happened. Even if you go now, it wonât make a difference!â
âSo, what can I do now? Do I just keep waiting here? Until when?â
Seeing how worried Nanxi was, Lu Yinchu felt sorry for her. He hugged her and said, âDonât worry, Asheng is a guy who knows his boundaries. If he did anything to your friend and wasnât ready to bear the consequences, he wouldnât have done it. Believe me!â
âBesides, if he really bullied your friend and didnât take responsibility, Iâm still here, right? I would give him a good beating for you and your friend, okay?â
Nanxi scoffed, âYou couldnât even beat Doctor Gui, and you want to take revenge? Yeah, right!â
Gui Xi, who overheard this conversation, joined in, âNanxi is right, you couldnât even beat me, so just drop it! Although Asheng looks sophisticated, he is fit. He could be described as lean when dressed and muscular when undressedâ¦â
Nanxi blinked her eyes, âUndress? Muscular?â
âCough!â Lu Yinchu quickly pulled Nanxi to him and nudged Gui Xi away, âStop it, when I take my clothes off, Iâm even more muscular than he is!â
Gui Xi sneered, âYou talk as if you two have undressed together!â
Undressed together?
Nanxi instantly imagined a scene that would make fangirlsâ blood boilâ¦
âPfftâ¦â
Nanxi suddenly burst out laughing!
Lu Yinchu glanced at Nanxi, wondering what on earth was she imagining now?
But seeing her no longer sulking, he considered it a win!
With that, he decided not to argue with Gui Xi!
â¦
Nanxi didnât expect to run into Han Baobao again!
It was around eleven-thirty when Nanxi wanted to call Liao Feifei to see if Yang Su had gone back yet!
The room was too noisy, so she stepped out to the corridor to make the call.
Liao Feifei answered the call, but said she was still out and hadnât returned home yet, So she didnât know if Yang Su was at the apartment!
Nanxi, feeling helpless, hung up and decided to tell Lu Yinchu that she wanted to wait at the apartment. She was about to head back to the room to find Lu Yinchu when she heard arguing coming from a nearby room!
Nanxi squinted slightly, recognizing one of the voices in the quarrel. She looked up, just in time to see two women who had been fighting, pushed out of a private room!
One of the women was rather tall, with heavy makeup, and long chestnut hair. She looked delicate and weak, which made people want to protect her instinctively.
Right now, however, her hair was being pulled, and her face was twisted, with traces of blood at the corners of her mouth. Clearly, someone had slapped her!
The girl who was pulling the womanâs hair and yelling like crazy was Han Baobao!
During the commotion, a man walked out of the room. He was young and handsome, someone Nanxi didnât recognize.
Seeing the man, Han Baobao shoved the woman aside and went at him, âXu Ziyang, you bastard, youâve been messing around with this woman behind my back. How dare you! How dare you!â
The man named Xu Ziyang frowned, âBaobao, we didnât date for long, and our lack of contact lately is pretty much like breaking up. Youâve vented your anger now, thereâs no point in causing more drama! If your brother finds out, who knows what could happen! Why canât we just break up amicably, alright?â
âXu Ziyang, I should have rejected you decisively from the beginning! You bastard!â
But the man stopped paying attention to her, instead, he took the slender girl in his arms and went back into the room.
The door to the room was closed, and no matter how much Han Baobao kicked or knocked, the man inside refused to open the door!
Nanxi watched the scene unsure of what to do. Should she step forward to comfort her?
Remembering the incident at the Yueting Group at noon, her neck wound was still aching.
And even if she went to comfort her, Han Baobao might not appreciate it!
So, wasnât Han Shaojing here right now?
Should she go find Han Shaojing?
Right, Han Shaojing was her brother after all!
If his sister was being bullied, he surely couldnât just sit by and do nothing!
Nanxi was about to leave, when a voice behind her gently called out to her, âNanxi!â
It was Han Baobao!
Nanxi paused, hesitated, and not wanting to have another unpleasant encounter with Han Baobao, she was about to walk awayâ¦
âNanxi, donât leaveâ¦â
Han Baobao called out to her once again!
Nanxi bit her lip, sighed deeply, turned around and looked at Han Baobaoâ¦
At this moment, Han Baobao was still wearing the same clothes as she was earlier in the day.
However, due to the scuffle with the other girl, her clothes were disheveled.
Her hair was a mess, there were tear stains on her face, her makeup was smeared, and there were scratches on her armsâ¦
Her pupils shrank a little, Nanxi realized her sympathies were once again getting the better of her and she was about to meddle!
In the small pharmacy next to the KTV, Nanxi listened to Han Baobaoâs âtragic love storyâ while cleaning her wounds.
Han Baobao said that the man from earlier was Xu Ziyang, her boyfriend who she had only recently started dating.
Xu Ziyang had pursued her intensely in the beginning, but after she was grounded by her brother and couldnât go out, they didnât get to talk much!
Today, she called him and a woman picked up the phone. Clearly, the woman wanted to provoke her, and said some nasty things, and dared her to come see for herself, even giving the address of the KTV!
Obviously, Han Baobao couldnât stand it. Taking advantage of Han Shaojing not being at home, she snuck out and came to the address given by the woman. Sure enough, she saw Xu Ziyang in a private room in a dim corner, passionately embracing another woman!
Han Baobao felt humiliated and betrayed. Regardless of anything, she went over, pulled the woman and slapped her.
Then, what just happened ensued!
As she cried, Han Baobao said, âI thought he was a good person, and he was sincere to me! I didnât tell him about being grounded by my brother, I just said I was giving him a test. In such a short time, he fell in love with someone else. Were all those words about loving me, and not being able to breathe without me just lies? Itâs so infuriating!â
Nanxi didnât know how to comfort her, so she just focused on applying medicine to her wounds.
Han Baobao said, âNanxi, youâre so lucky. Li Weihuan, Lu Yinchu, they all like you so much, theyâre so devoted. Why canât I meet a good man, I mean, one is a bastard, and two are like thisâ¦Honestly, Nanxi, I was really envious of you before, even a bit jealous. But deep down I knew, it wasnât your fault! You didnât seduce them, they wanted to be nice to you, itâs your goodness that they likeâ¦â
Nanxi was caught off guard, she didnât expect Hun Baobao to say such a thing, it was really surprising!
