It was true that his bones and tendons were not injured, but he had lost a few teeth. The lower row had loosened. Other than that, he also suffered a slight concussion. The others, as well, had various injuries, but Xu Youwei suffered the most serious injuries.
The day after Xu Youwei woke up, he marched off to Huanyu to demand an explanation.
Tsk.
Qin Zhou leaned back lazily in his chair and propped his legs straight up on his desk. The cigarette between his fingers was half-consumed. He raised his eyes coldly and gave a scornful laugh. âYoung Master Xu, Iâm afraid it wonât sound good if word gets out about this.â
Hearing this, Xu Youweiâs expression turned ugly. âWhat do you mean?â
Qin Zhou said unhurriedly, âYou and your bunch of friends were intending to gang rape one of my artistesâ assistants. Isnât that too embarrassing? Young Master Xu, are you so short of women that youâre desperate enough to make a move on my employee? If word gets out, people who donât know any better will think that Young Master Xu is short of women.â
Xu Youwei turned red and then paled. When he caught Qin Zhouâs disdainful gaze, his expression darkened again. He said angrily, âSheâs just an assistant! Why? Canât I afford to make a move on her?! Huanyu is so big and has so many artistes under its roof. I just want an assistant. In this circle, Iâve never seen anyone so unethical. Donât you know who I am?! Why canât I make a move on her? Who does she think she is? She should take a good look at herself in the mirror! Sheâs just an artisteâs assistant. Her status is lowly. Sheâs not worthy of my attention!â
âYes, sheâs just an assistant. Sheâs not worthy of you, Young Master Xu. But the truth is, not only did Young Master Xu like her, his table manners are also extraordinarily uncouth.â After a pause, Qin Zhou added meaningfully, âBesides, who said that the woman you made a move on was just an assistant in Huanyu? I remember someone reminding me that even a sweeper in Huanyuâs headquarters might be related to the higher-ups. So whatâs wrong with an assistant? Does Young Master Xu despise assistants?â
âHow should we put it then? Could this woman be your pet, Mr. Qin?â
Qin Zhou smiled coolly. âYou may think of it that way for now! Anyway, from now on, youâre not to have any designs on this woman!â
However, Xu Youwei did not acknowledge this, and insisted, âThen what about what happened yesterday?! Mr. Qin, you have to give me an explanation, right?! It doesnât matter if sheâs your woman or not. In short, that woman beat me and my brothers up so badly. Mr. Qin, donât you plan to give me an explanation?â
âWhat Iâm more curious about isâ¦â Qin Zhou muttered with a puzzled expression, âWhy were there so many of you, Young Master Xu? Why were the bunch of you so helpless against a girl?â
ââ¦â
âWhen I stepped in, people were lying on the floor everywhere. They were all young men, but couldnât even handle a girl. Have they had too many parties in their lives and grown deficient in the kidneys!â
Boom!
Admittedly, Qin Zhou was too devious. This seemed to be an unintentional remark, but it undoubtedly ignited a barrel of explosives.
One can call a man a bastard or a heartless person and get away with it, but to describe him to be deficient in the kidneys is unacceptable! Being deficient in the kidneys simply implied that he is impotent!
This was about a manâs dignity!
As expected, Xu Youwei exploded! âDeficient in the kidneys?! Qin Zhou, what do you mean?! Are you deliberately trying to anger me?! Or, has Wu Shan been giving face to Huanyu all this while, and Huanyu has grown too haughty!â
