A group of men jeered and surrounded Lan Long. His bodyguard was about to step forward when Lan Longâs gaze stopped him. Shi Xiu realized what was happening and broke free from Lan Longâs protective hold to look back. âItâs Gu Fei,â she thought, surprised.
Gu Fei, who was slightly drunk, also recognized Shi Xiu. âOh, I was wondering who it is. So itâs the high and lofty Miss Shi! What? Did you finally find a prince charming whoâs to your liking and matches your status? Does this prince of yours know that youâre a scheming b*tch?â Gu Fei mocked, walking over as he half-supported and half-leaned himself against a tall, muscular man.
Shi Xiu stood up and called out angrily, âGu Fei! What nonsense are you talking about?â
Gu Fei smugly glanced at the âthin and frail-lookingâ Lan Long standing beside Shi Xiu, and his courage rose. âAm I spouting nonsense? You guys donât know, do you? This Miss Shi Xiu is scheming and mercenary; sheâll use any friend and family as a stepping stone to achieve her goals. She abused her familyâs privileged status to bully a lot of people. Iâm telling you, bro, donât think youâve found a treasureâsheâs a piece of trash that no one wants!â
Shi Xiu delivered a sound slap on the left side of Gu Feiâs face, so infuriated that she trembled all over. Stunned, Gu Fei covered his blistering cheek and then laughed. âOh, did I hit a nerve? Look at the furious and flustered look on your face! Itâs so ugly! Hahahaha!â
Gu Fei laughed with impunity, and the next second, his laughter suddenly cut off. âOof!â Lan Long sent Gu Fei flying with a punch to the stomach, crashing and knocking over a bunch of tables, chairs, cups, and plates.
âGu Fei!â
âYoung Master Gu!â
Gu Feiâs posse rushed over to help him up, and then they glared in unison at the handsome man beside Shi Xiu. Shi Xiu was a little shocked at Lan Longâs actions but stretched out her hands to protect him.
Still bent over and clutching his stomach, Gu Fei got up with his friendsâ help, and his lips curled into an even more malicious smile than before. âBro, you sure are in a hurry to show off to this beauty, but hereâs my advice: things wonât end well for you if you get involved with this woman. Sheâs a vicious woman who likes to pretend to be weak and vulnerable and have men wrapped around her little finger. Oh, by the way, sheâs also quite good in bed. You can give it a try!â
Lan Long slapped Gu Fei hard on the right side of his face. He retracted his hand and wiped it with a tissue as he said, âSir, isnât it despicable to insult a young girl in public like this?â
Gu Fei glowered at Lan Long, his head ringing from the slap. âYouâre working so hard to gain her favor. Did she promise you some generous terms?â he sneered. âDid she promise you could marry her and be her matrilocal husband? I can tell at first glance that youâre just a kept man!â
Lan Long looked at him indifferently. âYoung Master Gu, I presume? Is it public knowledge that youâre gay? Oh, it seems that your friends here all know. Then do your parents know? Does your Gu family know? Do your Gu familyâs business partners know? If they donât, how about I help you inform everyone?â His gaze fell on the burly man beside Gu Fei, and his tone was filled with pity as he added, âIf anything happens to this gentleman in the future, itâs probably because the Gu familyâs ladies wanted to silence him, right?â
The man unconsciously let go of Gu Fei when he heard that, causing him to stagger. âGu Fei!â A worried voice sounded from outside the crowd. Gu Rou and Gu Wan pushed through the crowd and stood protectively on both sides of their little brother, glaring at Lan Long and Shi Xiu while scrutinizing the men around Gu Fei.
âGu Rou, Gu Wan, you should bring Gu Fei home first,â Yun Liuâs voice suddenly said. Gu Rou and Gu Wan started to panic. Yun Liuâs presence meant that the media reporters always following after her would be here. Gu Wan stared daggers at Yun Liu and warned, âIâm blaming it all on you if any news about what happened today gets leaked!â
Yun Liu didnât dare to talk back and replied with extreme grievance, âGu Wan, I didnât know Gu Fei would be here. I came to discuss some matters with Shi
Xiu. â
There was a camera flash in the distance, and Yun Liu instinctively covered her face, intentionally or unintentionally shielding Shi Xiu and Lan Long behind her. âShi Xiu,â Yun Liu uttered quietly, âyou leave first. Iâll handle this.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Shi Xiu was momentarily startled before detachedly stating, âI donât need your help.â She stepped forward and stood beside Yun Liu before proudly saying, âWe havenât talked about our business yet, have we?â
Yun Liu looked at Shi Xiu timidly, seeming as if she didnât dare say anything else..
