175: Chapter 173: Old Niu’s Phone Call 175: Chapter 173: Old Niu’s Phone Call “You’re talking nonsense, I don’t know you at all, stop slandering .” Ning Xinhua suddenly beca incredibly agitated and roared at the burly man.
“Humph, what about you is worth my slander, you slut?
If it weren’t for Yangzi not wanting trouble in his place last ti, I would not have let you off so easily.
And here you are, acting all high and mighty,” the burly man mocked with a dismissive laugh.
Zhou Wenkai’s face was a study in changing shadows, dark and uncertain, looking extrely ugly.
His girlfriend being insulted like this naturally kindled a raging fire within him, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
Even a clay figure has three points of fire, let alone a flesh-and-blood man.
Zhou Wenkai also cared a lot about his face, especially since a beautiful woman he had once pursued was sitting right there.
He really couldn’t afford to lose this face.
“You’re making it all up, I’m going to fight you,” Ning Xinhua, frantic like a madwoman, charged at the burly man.
“Slap—”
The burly man, acting swiftly and decisively, slapped Ning Xinhua across the face.
The sound was startlingly loud, sending Ning Xinhua stumbling back into Zhou Wenkai’s arms, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.
Yangzi, who was nearby, also frowned slightly.
“How dare you hit soone,” Zhou Wenkai bellowed at the burly man, his mind in turmoil, but rage filled him to the brim.
The burly man glanced at Zhou Wenkai and said with a hint of pity, “What, is this slut the one who started it, and you’re going to stand up for her?
To be honest, you should have dumped such a lowly girl a long ti ago.”
Mo Xiaoqing was sowhat taken aback by the sudden turn of events.
Although she didn’t have much of a relationship with Ning Xinhua, they had been classmates for four years.
Natural pity arose within her seeing Ning Xinhua being bullied, and she felt an urge to help.
Tangyu, initially uninterested in intervening, pursed his lips and stood up, saying to Mo Xiaoqing, “I’ll handle it.”
Mo Xiaoqing was startled and then her eyes imdiately showed a trace of gratitude.
She also stood up and followed Tangyu over.
“Yangzi, what a coincidence,” Tangyu greeted Yangzi.
“Oh, brother Tangyu, you’re here too?
Sorry, I didn’t notice you before,” Yangzi only then saw Tangyu and promptly greeted him courteously, his eyes quickly sweeping over Mo Xiaoqing.
In his heart, he really admired Tangyu’s prowess; Tangyu’s success with won indeed made him jealous and envious.
He had had lunch with a pretty girl this morning, and now he was having dinner with a gorgeous woman.
Such luck with the ladies was truly enviable.
Seeing that Yangzi was also very polite to Tangyu, Mo Xiaoqing let out a sigh of relief.
With Tangyu stepping in, this matter would be easily resolved.
At this mont, the most stunned were naturally Zhou Wenkai and Ning Xinhua.
They had both thought that Tangyu was just a humble school doctor, with no real prospects, as he had said.
To put it nicely, he was a school doctor; but frankly, he might not even compare to a barefoot doctor.
In the school, what kind of benefits could one possibly reap?
If one were in a big hospital, being a doctor might lead to so prospects.
But a school doctor in a middle school was really looked down upon.
“Brother Yangzi, who is this?” The burly man was also sowhat surprised as he looked at Tangyu and asked Yangzi.
“This is brother Tangyu, a brother of our Tiger brother,” Yangzi said.
The burly man imdiately showed a look of respect and eagerness to please, “So it’s brother Tangyu, my apologies.
I’m Fatty, a friend of Yangzi.
I own this little restaurant.
It’s an honor to have you visiting today, and I apologize for any lack of hospitality.”
“No worries.
Could I ask you for a favor, Fatty?” Tangyu said.
Fatty imdiately grinned and said, “Brother Tangyu, you’re too courteous.
Just say whatever you need.”
“These two are classmates of my friend.
Can we just leave it at that for today and call it even?” Tangyu said.
“Oh, so that’s the case.
Haha, of course, of course.
I didn’t actually intend to cause them trouble.
I was just a bit drunk and may have offended them slightly.
My apologies,” Fatty quickly said.
“Thanks,” Tangyu said.
Zhou Wenkai’s expression turned exceedingly awkward as he looked at Tangyu.
He had just been flaunting his superiority, and now he owed a big favor to soone else.
The slap had left a burning sensation on his face, and Ning Xinhua, naturally, looked incredibly displeased.
“Thanks, we’ll be leaving now,” Zhou Wenkai said, pulling Ning Xinhua away to leave.
“Brother Tangyu, why are you sitting down here?
Let get you a private room,” Fatty offered, eager to please.
Tangyu shook his head and said, “No need, we’re fine here.
We’re just having a casual al, nothing fancy is necessary.
Go ahead with your business, you don’t need to mind us.”
“Hehe, okay then, we won’t disturb your al, brother Tangyu,” Fatty said with a chuckle.
Yangzi also said, “Then, brother Tangyu, we’ll take our leave.”
After sending off Yangzi and Fatty, Tangyu and Mo Xiaoqing returned to their seats.
Mo Xiaoqing’s mood seed a bit disturbed due to the recent incident, lost in thought, possibly still struggling to co to terms with what had just happened.
“Alas, I never expected Ning Xinhua to debase herself like this.” After a while, Mo Xiaoqing shook her head with a sigh.
“Alright, Xiaoqing, whether you believe it or not, this is the truth, and you shouldn’t worry about other people’s problems.
Let’s eat, or the food will get cold,” Tangyu said.
Mo Xiaoqing nodded, “Mmm, thank you for just now, Tangyu.”
“Heh, why thank ?
It was nothing but a small effort on my part, mainly because you are too kind.
They were so unfriendly to you, yet you are still worried about them, which is really rare,” Tangyu said with a smile, finding Mo Xiaoqing’s kindness quite endearing.
Mo Xiaoqing shook her head, “We’ve been classmates for four years; how can I just ignore it?
Even if our relationship is bad, I can’t just stand by and watch.”
The al was very quiet; both of them had little to say.
Before they finished eating, Tangyu’s phone rang.
Raising an eyebrow, he took out his cell phone and saw that it was from Lao Niu.
Lao Niu calling must an there’s an important situation.
“Bro Tangyu, there’s a situation.
I found out that Zhang Guoli has sent people to cause trouble for your company’s boss, and they’ve already set out,” Lao Niu said quickly after the call was connected.
A sharp glint flashed in Tangyu’s eyes as he responded, “Alright, I got it,” and hung up the phone.
“Is there a problem?
If there is, you should go,” Mo Xiaoqing said.
Tangyu felt a bit embarrassed, having to leave before finishing the al, but the situation was urgent, and he feared Xinxin and Liu Shanshan could be in danger if he didn’t hurry, so there was no ti left for him to keep eating.
“I’m sorry, Xiaoqing.
I can’t finish the al with you.
I have so urgent business to take care of.
Next ti, I’ll treat you to a al,” Tangyu said.
“No problem, you go ahead, I’ve had enough to eat,” Mo Xiaoqing said.
“Mmm, then I’ll be off first.
Take care of yourself,” Tangyu said before quickly leaving.
Watching Tangyu’s departing figure, Mo Xiaoqing also zoned out, her heart filled with an indescribable feeling.
At Xinxin Culture and Arts Company, today Zhao Xinxin and Liu Shanshan were the last to leave.
Liu Shanshan could have left right after work, but she was a bit afraid to go back to her place.
If sothing like yesterday happened again, she didn’t dare to think of the consequences.
After locking the company’s door, Liu Shanshan also said, “Xinxin, should we still stay at a hotel tonight?”
This question gave Zhao Xinxin a headache as well.
Her apartnt had been painted over and was totally uninhabitable.
Even if she had soone clean it, she wouldn’t be able to live there for months because of the strong paint sll, which she was not accustod to.
“Stay in the hotel with for the ti being.
Tomorrow, I’ll ask soone from the company to help clean the house,” Zhao Xinxin said.
“Mmm,” Liu Shanshan nodded.
The two of them took the elevator straight to the underground garage.
As soon as they got out of the elevator, several figures rushed out and surrounded them.
Six people in total, each wearing a black hood that only showed their eyes.
Seeing the six who rushed out, Zhao Xinxin furrowed her brows, and her gaze flashed coldly, “What do you want?”
Liu Shanshan also clung to Zhao Xinxin, fearful.
She had encountered sothing like this yesterday and didn’t expect these people to co again today.
“Heh heh, what do we want?
A couple of beauties like you, brother here really wants to ‘take care of’ you.
Be good and co with us, otherwise, don’t bla us for being impolite.
Don’t shout, or you’ll suffer,” one of the n said sinisterly.
Zhao Xinxin’s gaze grew colder, knowing that their intentions were not good – it was the sa group of people.
She had thought these people wouldn’t dare to blatantly cause trouble for her, given that she was part of Lin Group, under its protection.
Even if there is so competition in business, underhanded tactics are normal, but to be so brazen is simply to disregard Lin Group.
This building’s security has always been good; these people really had guts.
“Hmph, you dare.
Who sent you?” Zhao Xinxin demanded coldly.
In her heart, Zhaon Xinxin suspected it was Zhang Guoli’s doing.
She had heard of this “copycat king,” aware that he was unclean in his dealings and that he started off in the underworld, emanating the aura of a bandit.
Such despicable and ruthless thods were his specialty, she thought.
Zhaon Xinxin had assud that even if Zhang Guoli were audacious, he wouldn’t dare to directly bully her.
But it appeared he really had the nerve.
“Heh heh, you’ve got quite the temper, little beauty.
Don’t worry about who we are, just co with us.
If you cooperate, we won’t do anything to you.
But if you don’t,” the man who spoke earlier laughed sinisterly, “don’t bla us for getting a bit rough, and there might be so physical contact, so don’t complain if we take advantage of the situation.”
Zhao Xinxin’s expression turned cold, filled with imnse anger: “Despicable and shaless.
To use such filthy thods…
Alright, Zhang Guoli, this isn’t over between us.
Humph, it won’t be that easy to take us.
You’d better leave right now, or you’ll regret angering .”
“Yo, what a stubborn girl, still talking tough at the end.
Since you won’t cooperate nicely, I’ll have to take matters into my own hands.
Don’t fight back; otherwise, heh heh, you won’t enjoy it.
Guys, do it, and do it quickly,” the man guffawed.
