Chapter 45: 045 Indulgent Night
“What good are you if you can’t even do this?” Xia Ning’s voice rose by eight degrees, and if her adversary were beside her, she likely would have wanted to kill them on the spot.
There was a mont of silence on the phone, then the shrill voice rose again, “Lady Xia, just give
one more chance, and I promise I will kill her for you.”
“For ?” Xia Ning sneered incessantly, “Your face has been exposed. Do you think you still have a chance to get close to her?”
After finishing her words, Xia Ning still felt unsatisfied. She coldly said, “Leave City A as fast as you can, and don’t ever call
again.”
“What about the money…”
“I’ll send it to you,” Xia Ning said before hanging up the phone directly.
Although she had a beautiful face, at that mont, she exuded a chilling aura, malicious like a demon from hell.
Frustrated, she paced around the room, smashing several expensive vases—one after the other. After spending so much money, all they did was injure soone and send them to the hospital; how could she stand for that?
The more Xia Ning thought about it, the angrier she got. As she reached for her phone to make a call, Xia Cheng suddenly ca in, his delicate face flushed with rage, “Xiaoning, what on earth did you do?”
“I didn’t do anything,” Xia Ning replied stubbornly, but she turned her head away, feeling guilty.
“I just got a ssage that you transferred five million. What is this all about?” Xia Cheng slamd the table several tis, “If you won’t tell , fine. I’ll just tell dad the truth when he asks.”
Xia Ning wasn’t scared of Xia Cheng, but she was very afraid of Xia Guoxiong.
No longer daring to conceal the truth, she confessed everything about how she had sought out an assassin from the underworld and arranged for soone to follow Fu Han, leaving nothing out.
Shaking with anger, Xia Cheng pointed his finger almost against Xia Ning’s forehead, “Why do I even bother with you? You’re blatantly hiring an assassin; are you so desperate for people not to realize you’re the mastermind? Even if you really wanted to get rid of Fu Han, you shouldn’t have dealt with it personally. Moreover, you shouldn’t have paid the full amount since the assassin didn’t complete the job. Do you think our family’s money just gets washed up by the tide?”
The more he spoke, the more agitated he beca. Xia Ning initially listened obediently, but as he continued, she felt her anger boiling, “You all talk so high and mighty, claiming you will seek revenge for . Yet, all you do is chase girls all day, and dad only cares about his business. Has anyone ever cared about ?”
After speaking her piece, Xia Ning burst into tears and ran out.
…
In the swaying nightclub, bodies twirled on the dancefloor like snakes, glistening under the glaring lights—red, green, blue, yellow—faces of every color in a grotesque dance.
In the center of the dancefloor, a woman in a silver sequined spaghetti strap dress danced beside a pole. Her short skirt barely covered her hips, revealing her smooth straight legs; her waist-length hair swung and hid her cheeks with every move.
Countless n surrounded her, and even the thunderous music couldn’t drown out their whistles. Undoubtedly, this pole dancer was the center of attention.
After a high-difficulty move suspended in mid-air, the woman in the silver dress slid down the pole.
Imdiately, a group of n crowded around her, each holding a glass, “Lady, let
buy you a drink.”
The woman flipped her hair, revealing a beautiful face that was none other than Xia Ning who had stord off from ho not long before.
She looked around tipsily and grabbed a cocktail from soone’s hand, gulping it down in one go.
The man whose drink she took grinned obscenely and followed Xia Ning as she headed off the dancefloor, his hand mischievously sliding along her waist.
As Xia Ning was stepping down, the mont she felt the wandering hand, she didn’t say a word and directly smashed the cocktail glass on the man’s head.
The glass shattered against his forehead, spilling everywhere, and blood started to seep from the man’s wound.
“Bitch, you don’t know what’s good for you!” The man, now provoked, raised his hand to slap Xia Ning.
But Xia Ning wasn’t to be trifled with either, she still had the broken glass in her hand and t his palm with it.
A palm, no matter how tough, is no match for the sharp edge of broken glass. The man’s screams rivalled those of a pig being slaughtered, and in his rage, he caught Xia Ning’s hair and flung her to the ground, prompting a full-on brawl.
The bar erupted into chaos.
…
About half an hour later, bloodied Xia Ning was rushed to the nearest hospital, which just so happened to be where Fu Han was.
It was Yang Kaitai, the sole heir to an electronics empire, who had brought Xia Ning. He had seen her at a dance a few years back, and after that brief encounter, he furiously pursued her.
But Xia Ning’s heart belonged solely to He Xing, a fact widely known as an open secret among the upper-class society of Xia Country. Yang Kaitai’s fervent courtship seed dood to waste.
Yet Yang Kaitai, born with a silver spoon, had always had his way, womanizing since his teenage years, never once faced rejection.
Facing the indifferent Xia Ning, he seed to have developed true feelings, persistently losing and yet continuing the pursuit, always finding ways to ask Xia Ning out, appearing at every public event she attended.
Today, when Xia Ning went to vent at the nightclub, it just so happened that one of Yang Kaitai’s hedonistic friends spotted her. Upon receiving the news, Yang Kaitai hurried over, arriving just in ti to see a man assaulting Xia Ning.
He imdiately called over a group and beat the offender until his face was swollen like a pig’s head. Then, he personally drove the beauty to the hospital to treat her wounds.
It was a stroke of luck, a hero saving the lady; he would have been a fool not to cherish it.
Xia Ning, drunkenly, let Yang Kaitai help her into the Ergency Room.
Yang Kaitai wasn’t exactly a gentleman. Taking advantage of Xia Ning’s helpless state in her skimpy attire, he not only held her but also touched where he shouldn’t have. He felt quite smug with himself, thinking today’s events were well worth it.
Although Xia Ning seed covered in blood, most of it ca from the man she had encountered. She only had minor external injuries on her shoulder and wrist that, once bandaged, would allow her to be discharged.
But Yang Kaitai wanted to show off in front of the beauty. He pulled so strings to get Xia Ning a deluxe ward, under the pretense of letting her rest properly.
Apart from being white everywhere, the deluxe ward was not much different from a hotel, with a private restroom, a set of sofas, and a single bed for the companion.
Not sure how much she had drunk, Xia Ning, with the help of a nurse, took a bath and then directly climbed into bed, falling into a deep sleep.
She wore a loose striped hospital gown that revealed a large expanse of her fair neck and the faint outline of Butterfly Valley on her back.
Yang Kaitai was initially lying on the sofa watching videos of glamorous won when suddenly, as if struck by an idea, his eyes lit up. He tossed aside his phone and pounced towards Xia Ning.
In a daze, Xia Ning felt soone caressing her. She rolled over, instinctively wrapping her arms around the person’s neck, and murmured, “Brother He Xing, don’t leave .”
