Chapter 44
The man at the front was wearing a suit, and had a thick gold chain around his neck. His collar was unbuttoned all the way to his abdomen, so his abs could be seen faintly. He roared, “Who dared to bully my younger brother? Come out right now!”
“Qiao Nian is definitely going to lose badly this time. Zheng Xiang is a Class C in the Zheng family. Usually, he handles extremely important missions. On every mission he handles, there will be blood!”
“Hmph, who’s afraid of who?” Zheng He stood leaning against a tree, gazing into the distance with a calm expression. Deep down, he was puzzled. How did Qiao Nian have the guts to just sit there?
Qiao Xin blinked at Su Yan, her expression full of distress. She whispered, “If Second Young Master Gu had been willing to help my sister, surely things wouldn’t have turned out this way!”
The people who attended the banquet today were all people with status and power. None of them liked Zheng He, but what could they do? Zheng He’s status made them all afraid to do anything.
Qiao Xin stood not far away, her eyes red-rimmed. She looked at Qiao Nian worriedly. After a beat, she tugged at Su Yan’s arm helplessly. “Brother Su Yan, will my sister be alright?”
Gu Zhou stood there expressionlessly. There was no trace of light in his dark eyes. It was as if he was a mere spectator, and the happenings had nothing to do with him whatsoever.
She looked toward Gu Zhou, who was standing not far away. Gu Zhou didn’t seem to have any intention of interfering. If that was the case, there would be another good show soon.
“Who is it? Who dared to bully my brother? Show your face! Otherwise, if I catch you, I’ll wring your head off and use it as a urinal!” Zheng Xiang roared impatiently.
“It’s me.” Qiao Nian sat there, her expression unchanged. Her voice was unhurried, and her eyes were slightly narrowed. There was no hint of fear in her voice.
Zheng He had initially wanted his brother to help, but for some reason, he felt embarrassed. He hadn’t even managed to handle a woman.
When Qiao Xin heard Su Yan’s words, she felt more at ease. She knew that Su Yan wouldn’t interfere, so she didn’t say anything else.
Zheng He stopped in his tracks. His pants were still damp. He had laughed for too long, and now his face felt extremely stiff.
“Second Young Master Gu wanted to protect her just now. If she hadn’t insisted on leaving, this wouldn’t have happened!”
Chen Qing moved closer to Gu Zhou and said in a low voice, “Second Young Madam is truly both beautiful and valiant!”
