Xu Sicong, lying on the ground, was mind-blank. Had he actually been hit?
Chen Ling was also stunned, "It’s over, this idiot, even President Xiao is going to be dragged down by you!"
Thinking back to Ling Fan’s arrogance, and how he had just threatened to make her get lost, a cold sneer ca over her heart, "Country bumpkin, you wanted to get lost, but I want to see how you get lost. No, how you die!"
Huang Shanhe was dumbfounded, "With this kind of intelligence, he dares to oppose ? And even had the audacity to say he’d break my legs? Fuck, I want to see how Young Master Xu breaks your legs first!"
Qian Dayong was flabbergasted, "How is this guy fiercer than ?"
The receptionist was so scared her body went weak, and Li Fu along with the other security guards nearly sat down on the ground.
"It’s over, the sky of the company is about to fall!" soone trembled.
"Motherfucker, you’re done for!" Xu Sicong glared at Ling Fan like a bloodthirsty lone wolf.
With such a commotion in the company, it was hard for Xiao Chubing upstairs not to notice. As she looked down from above and saw the scene in the lobby, her head began to throb.
"Crap, I forgot about Xu Sicong; the guy hasn’t shown up for days, why did he pop up today?" Xiao Chubing adjusted her clothes and hurried downstairs.
But just as she arrived at the lobby, she saw Ling Fan slap Xu Sicong, which almost made her lose her footing from shock.
Even though she knew Ling Fan wasn’t a simple character, Xu Xiaotian’s status was still a notch higher than the Zhou and Feng families in Binzhou.
At that mont, Xu Sicong jumped three feet high, swinging his fist as he moved to attack Ling Fan.
Xiao Chubing was imdiately alard. She knew well the skills of Ling Fan; how could Young Master Xu be a match for her husband? If they really started fighting, the sky would truly fall.
She braced herself and stepped forward, "What’s going on here!"
When Xu Sicong saw Xiao Chubing, he suppressed his rage and said word by word, "President Xiao, your Tian Yun is full of hidden talents. I don’t care what his relationship with you is, but today, you can’t protect this kid!"
Seeing the general manager co, employees stepped aside, their hearts pounding, unsure how President Xiao would handle the trouble.
Xiao Chubing glanced at Ling Fan and took a deep breath, "This guy doesn’t make things easy for at all, why is his temper so explosive? In the past two years at ho, despite being bossed around, I’ve never seen him lose his temper like this!"
"Young Master Xu, there might be so misunderstanding. I apologize on his behalf. How can I appease your anger? Maybe I can buy you a drink?" Xiao Chubing said calmly, as if she hadn’t seen him just get hit.
Xu Sicong’s thoughts turned, and the anger in his heart soared instead of subsiding. He had been chasing Xiao Chubing for so long without a glance from her, and today, for this little nobody, she was willing to compromise?
"What if I insist on crippling him?" Xu Sicong said darkly.
Xiao Chubing was torn, knowing it would not be easy to resolve, "Young Master Xu, please state your terms, and I will try my best to fulfill them."
"Heh, alright, I’ll give you face!" Xu Sicong’s eyes shifted.
"First, he needs to apologize to !"
"Agreed!"
"Second, you agree to be my girlfriend, and we’ll call it even!"
Xiao Chubing fell silent. She truly couldn’t afford to offend Xu Sicong, and although Ling Fan might have connections, they were not her own strength and could run out eventually.
"The Li Family’s trouble hasn’t been solved yet, and now there’s trouble with the Xu Family, why can’t he show so restraint!" Xiao Chubing inwardly complained.
As for agreeing to the second condition of the other party? Ling Fan was right there!
After weighing her options for a long ti, "Ling Fan, Young Master Xu has a prestigious identity and is an important client to the company. You just started working and there are many things you don’t understand. Society is a deep pool, it’s not as simple as acting on your whims. Apologize to Young Master Xu!"
Xiao Chubing pleaded earnestly, hoping Ling Fan would prioritize the greater good, bow his head when necessary, and not put her in a difficult situation.
Ling Fan was silent. He understood Xiao Chubing’s words, but the rules of this world did not apply to him.
"Xiao Bing, where did you find this country bumpkin? I think he seems to like you," Xu Sicong sneered, looking disdainfully at Ling Fan who was dressed in cheap market clothes.
Chen Ling, standing to the side, seed to have figured it out and sneered, "Ling Fan, if I’m not mistaken, you must be harboring a secret crush on President Xiao, right?
But one must have self-awareness. A goddess like President Xiao is not sothing a loser like you can covet. Not to ntion in this company, even in Binzhou, there are plenty of people secretly in love with President Xiao. What do you count for?
You even had the audacity to tell to get lost. If you had the ability, I’d call you ’Dad’!"
Chen Ling certainly hadn’t forgotten the grudge from just a mont ago, and now that she had the chance, how could she not kick a man when he’s down?
Huang Shanhe also laughed with disdain, "Kid, you should be low-key. Do you think that just because President Xiao has your back you can do whatever you want? It’s one thing for you to strut in front of , but how dare you brazenly threaten Young Master Xu? Do you think you’re the Crown Prince of the Capital or sothing?"
"Old Zhang, just now I bet he couldn’t last three days, and look, he’s finished in less than half a day. You owe a pack of cigarettes, don’t try to weasel out of it!" a security guard nudged his colleague next to him.
Xu Sicong’s face was full of cold sneers, giving this idiot a couple more minutes of life for Xiao Chubing’s sake. As soon as he walked out of this door, he’d find soone to take this moron down.
Xiao Chubing gritted her teeth, listening to the whispers around her. Ling Fan had been here for less than a day. Was he really this disliked? She should never have let him co to the company.
"What if I don’t apologize?" Ling Fan gazed at Xiao Chubing.
"You..." Xiao Chubing was furious.
"Xiao Bing, what exactly is your relationship with him? He even dares to not listen to you. I’ve never seen an employee act more arrogant than a boss," Xu Sicong observed Ling Fan with discontent.
"Xiao Bing is also what you call her? Keep barking, and I’ll break your damn legs," Ling Fan snapped back angrily.
"Enough, you’re fired. You can go now!" Xiao Chubing, seeing the situation getting out of control, had no choice but to say that. She’d have to explain it later at ho.
"Young Master Xu, do a favor, he’s my cousin. Don’t stoop to his level. Let’s go upstairs!"
"Tsk, damn, I’m putting up with you for the last ti. Don’t think that just because you’re Chu Bing’s cousin, I wouldn’t dare touch you!" A sinister gleam flashed in Xu Sicong’s eyes.
Chen Ling mocked, "Useless as mud that won’t stick to the wall!"
Xu Sicong rudely blocked Xiao Chubing’s waist, challenging Ling Fan with a confronting stare, "Kid, rember, a goddess like her isn’t for trash like you to even think about, you poor loser."
Ling Fan’s fist clenched tight. It had been two years since he had last done so.
Xiao Chubing frowned slightly, annoyance flashing in her eyes, but there was nothing she could do. It was all Ling Fan’s fault, and she had to quell Xu Sicong’s anger. Being taken advantage of a little bit was sothing she just had to endure.
Ling Fan stood in the lobby like a clown, watched by a crowd casting strange glances and pointing fingers.
Yet, all the mockery couldn’t compare to the distress Xiao Chubing’s attitude caused in his heart.
"You need sothing, I can give it to you, but to sell yourself for what you call a career, only proves my incompetence as Ling Beiming.
’The king’s woman’ should not be desecrated by others. I won’t tolerate a speck of dust in my eyes, but I respect your choice!" Ling Fan’s eyes were indifferent, yet his tone was tinged with an imposing air that seed to defy the world.
The onlookers exchanged glances, unsure what this guy was spouting his nonsensical ravings about. President Xiao’s cousin seed to be out of his mind!
Xiao Chubing felt a deep sense of injustice, "You give? What can you give ? Relying on that one last connection?"
With that, she went upstairs with Xu Sicong.
Ling Fan took a deep breath. Perhaps the two of them were just not ant to be from the sa world. Silently, he pulled an ornant from his pocket and tossed it lightly.
"Clatter!"
"It’s better to forget each other in the world of martial arts than to suffer together!"
"Vermilion Bird, co pick up!" Ling Fan said into the phone and then walked towards the exit with a heavy heart.
Xiao Chubing felt as if struck by lightning, her body stiffening on the spot, looking down at the pair of interlocked rings rolling on the ground, tears on the verge of falling.
Was this their wedding rings that he had kept with him all this ti? Now he’s returning them to her. Was this his way of making a clean break?
For a mont, her heart was inexplicably wracked with pain, sharp as a needle’s prick!
