Chapter 181: Chapter 185: The Mob Boss’s Little Sweetheart (17)
Su Li, after Song Yu had spoken, gave the other a look as if watching a fool.
Truly worthy of being called Sweetheart, genuinely innocent to a fault.
Su Li didn’t open her mouth, but the die-hard fans following her couldn’t let her boss be insulted like that.
“This lady, if you’re here just for your looks, don’t think every woman is as accommodating as you.”
The person on the left countered Song Yu; the one on the right directed their fire at soone behind Song Yu, “Boss Chong, if you want romance and beauty, why not keep it behind closed doors at ho? Why would you think to bring out soone brainless like this? Is our boss the kind of woman you can humiliate? Or is it that, in East District, Dragon and Tiger don’t regard North District at all?”
The second speaker escalated the conflict to one between two districts, with each sentence loaded with malicious intent.
Seeing his Little Cutie mistreated, Chongming couldn’t even lift his head as he blurted out with malice, “Who the hell are you to talk to my woman like that? Do you want to kneel and apologize, or shall we cut off one of your fingers?”
Su Li: “This isn’t right… It’s not Boss Chong’s place to discipline us from the North District, is it?”
Su Li said carelessly, “Moreover, the woman in your arms indeed lacks manners—does she even have the right to speak here?”
It wasn’t until then that Chongming directly regarded the one who had caused his Little Cutie such emotional turmoil.
At first glance, Chongming hadn’t connected Su Li with the woman who once was by his side.
There were absolutely no similarities between them.
One was radiantly beautiful, exuding a powerful aura from head to toe.
The other was cautious and timid.
Except… both had remarkably similar faces.
Ogre and Poison Snake, who rembered Su Li’s face well, recognized her faster than Chongming.
Ogre paused and pointed at Chongming, laughing loudly, “Boss Chong, that’s not very honorable of you… A night of wedlock, a hundred days of grace, and yet you can’t even recognize a woman you were once close with, isn’t that a bit too heartless?”
Song Yu, also harboring complicated emotions, tugged at Chongming’s sleeve and whispered softly, “She is Su Li.”
It’s not that Chongming had completely forgotten Su Li, but it was unthinkable, knowing how deeply hurt Su Li had been, that such a frail woman could not only survive but also reach such heights.
But reality is just so…
Looking at the people following her, the others might not recognize him, but there was one person, Yue Cheng, whom everyone there would undoubtedly recognize.
He was the fearso young talent leading North District’s expansion outward, soone who had given almost everyone present a tough ti.
Don’t be fooled by his innocent baby face; once split open, the interior was utterly dark, with a chilling prowess in humiliating others.
Yet here he was, obediently standing right behind Su Li.
“Co here, apologize to Ah Yui.”
After a mont of stunned silence, Chongming was filled with rage.
The creature who used to cower beneath him, who gave her the audacity to speak back to him now.
At this outburst from Chongming, not only Su Li was surprised, but Ogre and Poison Snake also saw their boss in a new light for the first ti.
As if they were looking at a fool.
Ogre gasped, “Chongming, are you out of your mind?”
No matter what their situation was before, in the underworld, the strong are respected. Since she could stand toe to toe with them, it proved her capability.
Chongming still acted high and mighty, as if bestowing orders like charity. He must be foolish.
Whatever the covert struggles and power grabs, outwardly, those who acted as bosses still had to put on a hypocritical facade.
Only Chongming seed so refreshingly genuine.
Poison Snake and Ogre exchanged glances, their hearts sinking.
They had been worried that Chongming was unwilling to cooperate with them because he already knew the identity of the boss of North District and had secretly colluded with him.
But seeing his current deanor, they imdiately felt relieved.
Before Su Li could speak, Yue Cheng couldn’t hold back. With a youthful, crisp voice filled with anger, he said, “You want our boss to apologize to your woman? You’d have to ask my knife first.”
As he spoke, he sohow produced a small knife from sowhere on his person and pointed it eagerly at Song Yu’s eyes.
Song Yu, frightened, quickly covered her eyes and shrank back into Chongming’s embrace.
She felt that, perhaps in the next second, the knife in his hand would fly out and shoot towards her.
Chongming hadn’t yet shifted his thinking from the past Su Li to the current boss of East District.
His gaze towards Su Li grew progressively colder, almost freezing her into an ice sculpture.
“Alright, alright, that’s really great.”
Tian Bao and Yi An, standing behind him, looked shocked. The initial change in their expressions was quickly hidden in their hearts.
But the feelings of fear sinking in their hearts were known only to them.
Especially since Su Li had stared aningfully at them several tis.
But at such a mont, it wasn’t appropriate to have a conflict with them.
Tian Bao, sharp-eyed, noticed that the people from East District were occasionally touching the areas where they had weapons holstered at their waists.
“Brother…” Tian Bao whispered a few words to Chongming, calming his rage sowhat.
“Now that we’ve cald down, let’s start the eting.”
Tian Bao had barely managed to stop his boss’s fury when Su Li, seemingly unconcerned, even intentionally incited further.
Her red lips parted as she spoke again, “People of my high caliber are rare… like so people, who knows what stroke of luck let them pick up the position of a boss. If they ca to our North District, they wouldn’t even pass the lowest threshold of the gang.”
Silent and unobtrusive, like a quiet evergreen behind Su Li, Tang Dao finally caught an opportunity to speak.
The daily boasting could start again.
Lackey Tang Dao: “That’s right, that’s right. Boss, what kind of figure are you? Not just anyone can compare to you.”
Not just Tang Dao, but the others brought by Su Li also unanimously nodded in agreent, “Exactly, exactly.”
Watching this, Su Li was delighted, happily pulling out the small mirror she carried and checking her own stunning beauty from side to side.
“Indeed, you’ve all succumbed to my charm.”
Ogre: “….”
Poison Snake: “….”
So the aggressive style of East District is so bizarre because it follows an example. Finally, they found the source.
